WASHINGTON ABUSES*
Begnlarly after eaoh oongress the re-
ports of officers entrusted with the
work of furnishing representatives
aod senators with oertain allowances
provided for by law, are full of faote
that reflect no credit on some of our
national legislators. A reoent dispatch
from Washington says:
The report of the olerk of the house
of representatives, Issued just before
the adjournment of oongress, shows
that a large number of representatives
did not draw any stationery during
three sessions of oongress, bat Instead
took the $375 in oash, the equivalent of
their stationery accounts. Of oourse,
they had a right to do this nnder this
law, but the gossips say that In many
oases the members of the house used
the stationery furnished to the com-
mittee of which they they were mem-
bers. A oertain amount of stationery
is furnished eaoh oommittee, and the
full quota was usually drawn. The
mileage privilege, of oonrse, Is an
Evidences are plentiful of wholesale
a large distribution of books among
the outgoing members, and some of
the volumes were valuable. Many of
these have beeu bought, it is said, by
dealers who paid the congressmen
oash and expeot to realize a profit on
the sale of the books In the future.
The agricultural department has re-
cently been obliged to purohase 200
copies of one of Its own publications,
paying the bookseller 50 oents a o >py.
Of oonrse the dealer bad bought them
from congressmen, knowing there
would be a later demand for the' publi-
cation.
The trafflo in seed is a new feature
of congressional thrift. It was but re-
oently that the agricultural depart-
ment got an Idea that there wa9 some-
thing crooked in the seed transactions
of some members and steps were taken
to oatoh the offenders. It Is expected
that evidenoe will be obtained of sev-
eral shady transactions In seed on the
part of oongressmen, and it Is said that
Secretary Morton proposes to publish
all the facts In a report to the next
oongress, In which he will recommend
some changes In the method of dis-
tributing seed and department publi-
cations.

determination to accomplish the best
possible malts for the Interests they
represent that characterized the 'Flor-

quently more satisfactory rates of

disturbances, more net revenue for the
shareholders of the railroads, and more
pesos and/ prosperity for the entire
oountry.”__
LEARNING BY EXPERIENCE.
The following good advice on how to
make efficient the passenger depart-
ment of a railroad Is taken from the
speeoh of G H. Daniels, general pas-
senger agent of the New York Central,
made at the American Association oon
vention last week:
**An efficient passenger department
places constantly before the public the
facilities offered by the company for
travel, it being well understood that
facilities for travel always imply faolll
ties for the shipment of freight. An
efficient passenger department is al-
ways on the alert to aid in establish-
ing new resorts and enterprises, and to
give the fullest Information regarding
delightful soenes, varied climates, de-
sirable health and pleasure resorts,
and the best time and way to visit them,
whether they be old or new.
"An efficient passenger department
Is essential to the building np of any
new section of oonntry, to the snooeas-
f ul transportation of mall and express
matter, to the development of the agri*
cultural, mining and manufacturing
interests of the oountry. In short, no
transportation line oan reaoh its full
measure of suooess without this ‘Wheel
Within a Wheel’—an efficient passen-
ger department.
"It the members of this aod other
associations of general passenger
agents would give to the consideration
Mr. Newlywed’* Dress Suit Wm Not Ex-
actly In the Right Condition.
Mr. Robert Newlywed turned up at
his office one morning last week with a
grieved expression, indicating very
plainly that ho could tell a tale of woe
if he were urged. Only two months be-
fore he had rnn the gantlet of rioe and
old slippers, and sinoe that event life
had been developing for him in unex-
pected ways.
‘‘None of your boarding houses for
me,” said Mr. Nowlywed. ‘‘Of course
my wife doesn’t know anything about
housekeeping, but she will learn by
mistakes, and I have already a good
cook in view. ” $
That was before the old slippers and
rice. Judging from Mr. Newlywed’s
fragmentary remarks on life in a flat,
Mrs. Newlywed has been learning some
things in just the way Robert expected
she would. Mr. Nowlywed’s grieved ex-
pression occasionally is understood by
his friends to announce an acquisition
of knowledge on the part of Mrs. New-
lywed. Ho told of the latest experience
of this kind after a reasonable amount
of sympathetic urging.
Mrs. Robert has her own ideas of
good form. She not only objeots to her
husband carrying home bundles of any
kind, but sho further believes that her
servants should not be seen carrying
any of the results of a morning’s mar-
keting into the rather aristocratic apart-
ment house in which she lives.
“I think,’’she said not long ago,
‘‘that it is positively vulgar—no other
word fits it—for one’s servants to lug
homo a package of steak or whatever
the marketman has neglected to deliver.
There are many little ways in which
such displays of one’s household econ-
omy or extravagance may be avoided,
you know.” >,
Mrs. Newlywed had an opportunity
to test her theory one Monday evening.
When she returned after some calls in
the afternoon, she found that her orders
for dinner had not been delivered. She
sent Mary out to get them. She told
Mr. Newlywed that none of the other
servants in the house had even suspect-
ed that her servant had brought in the
dinner at a late hour, and Mr. Nowly-
wed asked no questions. The next aft-
ernoon the Newlyweds went up to
Poughkeepsie to dine with old friends,
and it was the day following that New-
lywed’s grieved expression appeared at
the office.
‘‘Of course,” he said, “she won’t do
this same thing again, for it was very
embarrassing. Our host thought it was
funny, and so it was, real funny—ha,
ha—but very embarrassing. ”
More sympathy for Mr. Newlywed,
mixed with jndicions praise of Mrs.
Newlywed, provoked the tale.
“I had just time,” said Mr. Newly-
wed, “on Tuesday to fire my evening
clothes and some things, you know,
into a leather. dress suit case and rnn
for my train. My wife went on an early
train. When I reaohed the house in
Poughkeepsie, I made a rapid change
and was dressed just ou the minute that
dinner was announced. I thought that
in an apartment we were not so con-
stantly reminded of the presenoe of a
kitchen as wo were in this house. My
wife began to look embarrassed five
minutes after I entered the room, and
so did the hostess and the other guests.
Say, I’m not going into the details of
this thing. It wasn’t explained until
my wife suddenly asked:
“ ‘Robert, you never packed your
things in that leather box, did you?’
“ ‘That’s just what I did do,’ said I,
‘and I made quiok work of it. ’
“I thought my wife was going to
faint. Then she became hysterical, and
in that condition Bhe explained. Of
course it was funny, you know, but em-
barrassing. Mary had been using my
dress snit case to smuggle in the market
ing. Mrs. Newlywed and I are fond of
fish, you know. It was a clever idea,
now, wasn’t it? But embarrassing-
very. I finished that dinner in my trav-
eling suit Nothing like learning by
mistakes, is there?”—New York Sun.
Boolonger’s Bowie.
The 14th of July was the great day
of Boulanger’s life, so far as popular
admiration and exterior manifestations
were oonoerned. It was the date of the
f appearance of tho black horse—the
horse that became for the time a party
symbol? a political finger post, a feature
in the history of France.
He was a prodigiously showy horse,
as gorgeous as he was famous. He was
composed principally of a brandishing
tail, a new moon neck, a looking glass
skin and the aotiou of Demosthenes.
He seemed to possess two paces only—
a fretting walk and a windmill canter.
Ho was a thorough specimen of what
tho Spaniards call “an arrogant horse. ”
He was gaudy, yet solemn; strutting,
yet stately; flaunting, yotmajostic; mag-
niloquent, yet eloquent.
He was drilled with the most admira-
ble skill. His manners wore so super-
lative that with all his firework display
he oould not have been either difficult
to handle or tiring to sit. Never was a
horse so emphatically suited to his rider.
Tho two were identical in their ways.
Eaoh was as gilded as the other. As the
horse bounded the general, who had a
weak grip, rooked on him. At every
stride he swung harmoniously in the
saddle and bent right and left alternate-
ly, like a stage sovereign bowing to his
assembled people.—Blackwood’s Maga-
zine.
On the Promenade.
When taking his walk abroad, Herr
von Pump is generally to be seen in the
company of a plain looking but wealthy
heiress. His creditors are thus deluded
into tho expectation of a marriage be-
tween tho pair and give him a little
longer respite.
Snffle, the student and joyous boon
companion, prefers to be seen walking
arm in arm with Sanftmeier, a candi-
date for tho ministry. People are then
heard to remark, “Suffle is beginning to
grow steady, it appears. ’ ’
Ehrhnber, the manufacturer, likes to
trot along with Krieger, the old veter-
an, whose breast is all covered with
medals and ribbons. “A littlo borrowed
splendor,” Ehrhnber thinks, “will
shine upon my empty buttonholes. ”
Anna, *ibt particularly good looking,
always goes out with Bertha, who is de-
cidedly plain. Then folks will say,
Anna is not bad, after all.”—Humor-
istisohe Blatter.
Appreciation.
The Elmira Advertiser tells a story of
a clergyman about to leave his parish
who had endeared himself to every one
in it by his self denying pastoral work.
Among those who called upon him to
say goodby were an aged couple who
were particularly fond of him. When
they were about to leave, the old lady,
with much feeling and many tears,
while grasping the pastor by the hand
(who was moved to (ears himself), said,
“The Lord only knows, Brother S.,
how often I’ve bitten my fingers that I
might keep awake to hear your good
sermons.” The moral of the story ap-
pears to be that fine preaching is not tho
only necessary qualification of a clergy-
man.
Invariable.
When people profess not to care what
becomes of them, it will be noticed that
they seldom are hungry at tho tima—■

She Didn’t Like It.
"It’s very hard to understand what
men see in baseball,” remarked young
Mra Torkins.
“Did you ever attend a game?”
“Onoe. But I didn’t like it. It seemed
too effeminate.”
“Effeminate!”
“Yes, to see all those great, stalwart
