Giant heads and brains Were Web- ster and/Cass. _ All the strength 01 New Hampshire granite was concen- trated in those two sons. To look upon them made the ordinary man feel small. One removed to Massachusetts, the other, to Michigan, and never were two States more highly honored. When these men met in the United States Senate they were the cynosure of all eyes, for they were as imposing as Mount Washington, under whose shad— ow they were reared. they possessed, and men have been known to shiver with dread when one or the other allowed his glance ’to fall upon 'them. Cass. could look through a stranger in a. way to make 'his brain burn and his kcnes knock together. One searching stane seemed to destroy all mentality and fill the victim with par- alytic emotions. - The other day the writer saw a. man slap Senator Hanna on the back. cry, “Hello, Senator!” and receive a pleas- ant salute in reply. No man dared take liberties with Cass. In 1846 the propneitor of [the National Hotel in Washington was a man who so closely resembled the great Senator from Michigan that he was often mistaken for him. An 'old friend, returning from a. journey, entered the lobby, and, see— ing him leaning against the desk, slip- ped up behind and hit him a terrific whack on the shoulder, saying cheerily and simultaneously: “Hello, old man; here I am back again! How are you?" Senator Cass straightened up his 6 feet 3, and turning upon the assailant his terrible, bloodshotten eyes almost an- nihilated him with a look. Not a'word was spoken. That look was ample. The stranger was so “rattled” that he could not even apologize, but slunk de- jectedly out of the hotel. Later in the day, when Congress was supposed to be in session; ‘the stranger returned to the hotel to shake hands with the proprietor and tell him all about the Cass incident. Walking bravely up he laid his hand down on his friend's shoulder, and, without waiting for a greeting, surprised him with: “See here, old fellow, you got me in a deuce of a scrape 'this morn— ing. Why, you know I took old Cass for you; slapped him on the back, near- ly taking off a shoulder, and‘the old fool looked'at me as if he Wanted to commit murder. The darned old luna— tic—why doesn’t he stay out of here? He knows”—— Again the great Sen- ator from Michigan straightened up his 6 feet 3, again he turned ‘his blood- shotten eyes, again he looked and again the victim fled. Two mistakes of that kind in one day were enough to discon- cert the stoutest heart, and the man actually left Washington—New York Press. ' ELO-QUENCE AT BAY. How a Preacher was Cured of Impromptu Eloquence. ,, It was a. preacher who had that fatal fluency for whom an acquaintance laid a trap. He had a way of promising to preach, and on begining would say something like “I have been too busy. to prepare a sermon, but if some one will kindly give me a text 1'11 preach from it.“ One determined to cure him‘. He therefore asked him to preach. The invitation was accepted. The time came and the visitor began his usual intro- duction: ,“Brethren, I have been so pushed for time to-day as to have been quite unable to prepare a sermon. But if some of you give me a text I will preach from it. Perhaps my brother ihere," turning to the plotter near him “will suggest a text.” , . “Yes, brother,” came the response; its words are ‘nlne—and-twenty knives.’ ". There was a pause, an om- inous pause, as the preacher found his text. He read it out, “Nine—and-twenty knives," and began at once. “Notice the number of these knives—just ex- actly nine-and-twenty; not thirty; not eight—and-twenty. There were no more and no less than nine and twenty of these knives." A pauSe—a long pause. Then, slowly and emphatcally, “Nine- and-twenty knives." A longer pause. Then, meditatively, “Nine-and-twenty knives.” Again he rested. “Nine-and— twenty knives—and if there were nine hundred and twenty knives I could not say another word.”——Harper’s. Tea Raising in south Carolina. The only tea plantation In the United States is located near Sumine-rville, S. C. It is the property of Dr. Charles U. Shepard, who has undertaken to prove that tea, one of the greatest sta— ple articles used by Americans to—day, can be raised by our farmers profitably. This attempt to add to our now widely diversified list of industries a new one Dr. Shepard made partly as an exper- iment and partly as a regular business enterprize. And it is very interesting to Suite successful. Last season Dr. Shepard sent to market upward of 1,100 pounds of the finest teaobtainable, and this year's crop, he states, will amount to more than 2,000 pounds. Stirred to His Depths. For 'the first time in his life the max of business, freed for a brief seasox from the grind of his daily toil, and spending his vacation amid the glories .of the Yellowstone, stood with bared head in the presence of El Capitan. Stern, majestic, appalling, it towered before him. He gazed at its rugged front il‘ silence, and with emotions never felt before. -'.iL last he spoke. “Gosh!” he exclaimed, “I wonder- what it would cost me to rent that whole business for a. billboard for. my $2 shoe!"——Chicago Tribune.

Children should never be rocked to sleep, as rocking has a. tendency to send the blood to the head. A child should be put into its cot awake, and so get accustomed to go to sleep alone. A simple remedy to prevent consti- pation in children is to give them a drink of warm water the first thing every morning. Half a. teaspoonful of almond oil given occasionally is also good for the same purpose. If an infant’s food should get burnt in the making it should never be used. as it is sure to upset the child. A child in convulsions should be put into a hot bath to cover his whole body up to his chin. Cloths dipped in cold water and vinegar should be ap— plied at the same time to the head. If a bath is not at hand, rub the spine briskly for several minutes with the fingers dipped in brandy or other spirit. ' Try and bring up your children to sleep in the dark, as it is much better for the eyes. Never let a. child’s bed he opposite the window as the bright light falling on the face while‘ asleep is very bad for the sight. The habit of eating between meals is not a good one and should never be allowed, as it not only spoils the nat— ural appetite but also deranges the stomach. If a child swallows a coin or button, &c., and it should stick in the child’s throat and seems likely to choke it, try and pull it up with your fingers. If this is impossible make the child swal— low a piece of hard crust, which is sure to send it down. Do not give emetics or aperients. Infants should never be allowed to see objects too close to their faces, as it is apt to make them squint. Cases of squinting can often be cured by covering the stronger eye, thus making the weaker one do its work. When anything gets into the eye it should be removed by using the end of a tightly rolled paper spill, which has been softened by chewing. Hold the lower eyelid down, and remove any dust, &c., then bathe the eye with warm milk and water. ‘ ~1- 4-4 oua Method of 'uhing Clothes. The washing of clothes varies in ev- ery country in the world, but the bars dest-worked washerwomen are the Koreans, for the Korean men wear vo- luminous pantaloons and dresses. The women wash the clothes in cold water, generally in running streams and pound: them with paddles until they shine as if they.had been starched. In Egypt the “men usually do the wash- ing standing at the edge of a pool or running water and slapping the wet clothes ‘upon round smooth stones. French women wash their clothes in the same way, although, as a. rule, they kneel to their work. This beating up- on stones makes many holes in the garments, especially as the dirt is fre- quently literally pounded out with oth- The Ja- panese method of washing clothes ap- pears as singular to us as do the ma- jority of their customs, for they rip their dirty garments apart for every washing, while their ironing consists of spreading the clothes out on a flat ‘ board which is-leaned against the side of the house in order that they may be dried .by the sun,'which takes all wrin- kles out 'of the thin material.

A dainty gown of mauve foulard had the skirt made with a flounce, with three tiny ruching of the material above it. The blouse, made with a slightly pouched front. had a plain yoke of white satin bordered by a ladder of violet velvet baby‘ribbon, mounted on white satin ribbon. Straps of wider velvet. held by jeweled buttons . The leg-o’-mutton sleeves had pointed lace trimmed epaulettes. Handsome sash of mauve satin ribbon, with loops and long ends on the left side. The large lace hat, mounted on fine wires was trimmed with ribbon to match girdle. Coflee Fro-ting. A coffee frosting that can be used for cream cakes, eclairs, or light cakes, is made by steeping one-quar— ter of a cupful of coffee in half a cup- ful of water and straining it. Two tablespoonfuls of this liquid with a cupful of powdered sugar produces the frosting. It'may be said in this coh- nection that a bottle of coffee extract is an excellent addition to the summer outfit. If one is camping out or living picnic fashion in a summer cottage, the extract will serve many useful pur‘. poses. It has been found to do admir- able service, too, in supplementing the very weak coffee of the average village boarding house. To Know Horseradish. The difference between horseradish and the poisOnous aconite root is that the horseradish has‘a square—looking or blunt-end, while the‘ aconite is pointed.

Alone—Texan Patent Articles and «Adulteratcd Flour —Stamp Tax of One Cent on Every Palace Car Seat or Berth—The Vote in Detail and by Parties. ' . ’Waehington, D. 0., June 6.—With no evidence of excitement and without in- cident worthy of special note, but with manifestations of deep interest, \ the war revenue measure-was passed by the Senate Saturday evening at 7.05 o’clock. The bill was under considera- tion eight hours. _ \ A score or more" of attempts were made to amend it, but in only three or four ihstances were the attempts suc— cessful. Particular effort was made to amend the bond provision of the meas- ure, but it was futile in every instance. The mgst notable amendment made to the measure was that offered by Mr. Tillman, Democnat of South Carolina, placing a duty of ten cents a pound States. The amendment created no de-- on all tea. imported into the United hate, and was adopted by a vote of 38 to 32. » - It is calculated by the Senate-ex- perts that” the duty, if it be finally en- acted into law, will raise at least 310,- 000,000 a year, and probably more. An amendment offered by Mr. Chil- ton, Democrat of Texas, a member of the finance committee, provides for a tax, gradu according to price. up- on all art es sold under a patent right, trade mark or name, not open to general use, and which are not other- wise tax-ed by the bill. _ Through an amendment offered ,5 by Mr. Bindsay, Democrat of Kentucky, the Senate decided not to place a stamp 1y or partly printed, Wihic'h weigh less than 100 pounds. A tax of four cents a barrel was placed on adulterated flour and a. stamp tax of one cent on every ticket entit— ling the holder to a seat in a palace or. parlor car or berth in a. sleeping car, the company selling the seat or berth being required to affix the stamp. On passage of the measure every Republi- can voted in the affirmative. The measure was then reported to the Senate from the committee of the whole and the amendments which had been agreed to adopted. :Bond: Provisions. Mr. Jones, Democrat of Arkansas. proposed to amend the bond provision of the bill by striking out the words “after ten years from the date of their issue," thus making the redemption of the bonds optional with the govern- ment within twenty years. The amendment was defeated, 31 to 42. An effort was made by Mr. Jones of Arkansas to make the 'bonds’payable, at any time after. three years at the option of the government, but that too, was defeated, 31 to 42. Mr.‘ Cannon of Utah moved. that the clause of the bond provision which ap- propriated One-‘half of'1 per cent. of the amount of bonds provided for to pay the expenses of preparing, adver- tising, issuing and disposing of them be stricken out. He maintained that an appropriation was unnecessary. Mr. Allison accepted the amendment: agreed to. ' Mr. Butler, Populist of North Caro- lina, offered the proposition to estab-g llsh a postal saving system in lieu of ' the bond, provision of the bill. Thel amendment was rejected without a di-: vision. . In lieu of the bond provision Mr.! Stewart offered a provision for the is-‘ sue of treasury notes to the amount of $400,000,000, receivable for government dues. ' ’ '_ On motion of Mr. Allen, Populist of' Nebraska, the amendment was laid on the table, 54 to 18. ' Mr. Turpie, Democrat of Indiana, proposed as a substitute for the bond provision a. proposition to issue $150,-' 000,000 of treasury notes of denomina- tions of $5, $10, $20 and $50, or multi- ples thereof, the notes to be fedeema- ble in one year and payable in three years from date of issue, to bear 2 per cent. interest, to be good for public dues? and to be used by the government in payment of war expenses. The am- endment was rejected, 28 to 45. Sev- eral minor amendments were offered and rejected. As 'finally completed, the bill was placed upon its passage. It was passed by a vote of 48 to 28.

'— Upon What It Depends and How it May Be‘Waged. ' The person does not live Whose pulse is not stirred by news of war. The man does not exist who does not feel the impulse to heroic deeds for Which war affords such a field. But heroic deeds and successful war depend, as do the victories of commerce and the counting house, upon that perfect health that allows the brain to move on free from the countless annoyances and irrita- tions that sap-nervous vitality‘and de- stroy physical force.

California. Catarrh Cure is waging successful war upon mucous diseases. Colds are broken up, tonsilitis is relieved, diphtheria is checked, bronchitis and consumption are entirely prevented, and catarrh, the source of all the first named dis- eases, is cured;.a-nd California Catarrh Cure keeps on its great work, curing and to cure. Note what it is doing every day. , . . Mr. D. C. Croft, 11 East avenue, East Norwalk, after suffering with catarrh for years, tells of his relief as follows: .“I find. that California Catarrh Cure has relieved me very much. It keeps my head and throat much clearer than they had been for a long time, and the relief is wonderful. Anyone suffering from catarrh in any form will surely find it an excellent remedy.

She does not wish to marry, though divers good offers have been made for her hand, since of the three sisters she [star and away the most clever and companionable, and a number of eligi~ ble young German and Swedish princes and grand dukes have really wished to have her to wife. But the Princess Victoria has not yet found a husband to her mind, and to her motherfs great dismay she cherishes an ardent ambi- :ion to be a genuine wage-earner. Two years ago she fitted herself for nurs- ing and announced her intention of entering a London hospital.

An interesting account of the way in which olive oil is rroduced in Sicily is given by the United States Consul at Catania. The olive tree grows equally well in the valleys and on the moun- tain sides; but those on the lower ground furnish an oil which is richer, and can be stored for a longer time without deterioration. The grinding and pressing of the olives are per- formed in a. very primitive fashion. First, the olives are placed ‘on a circu- lar platform of masonry about several feet in diameter, upon which a heavy 'millstone is tumed by means of a. pole to which the donkey is attached. While the stone revolves a man is constantly engaged in turning the pulped olives over and over with a. spade. . In‘ 'half an hour about one hundred kilogrammes will have been pulped in this way, when the mass is put in soft rush bas- kets, which are piled .in a heap' in the press—an arrangement with a heavy wooden screw—which is wof‘ked by six men. About half the oil is expressed in this fashion, the rest being extracted by subsequent operations. The fresh oil is green in color, and is placed in earthen jars for eight days to settle and clarify. It is then ready for use. A Lot of Rheumatism. Old Lady—Where is your husband, Mrs. De Long?
