tumorous ^Department. Showed His Avtiiokity.?One day last winter, a quorum being lacking in the house, the sergeant-at-arms was sent out to fetch in delinquent members. Among those caught in his net was the Hon. Nicholas Longworth. who was attending an afternoon tea In Connecticut avenue. Mr. Longworth appeared to be annoyed when the officers of the house informed him that he must "come along." "Oh, I say," protested Longworth facetiously, "this isn't any way to treat an old friend!" "Your remark reminds me of the ca.se of the Irish policeman," said the sergeant-at-arms, "who, shortly after his appointment to the force, found himself compelled to arrest an old friend who had been dining a bit freeJy. Resistance to the arrest met with a clubbing. "Shure, this ain't no way to treat an old fri'nd,' said the unfortunate one.

Xo Ai"OLOGiRS.?Uncle Jerry Peebles, who had taken a seat in the smoking car. had filled his pipe and was about to hunt in his coat pocket for a match, when a large man of much equatorial diameter sat down in the vacant seat by his side, complacently crushing him against the side of the car, and almost obliterating him. Uncle Jerry said nothing, and proceeded in his search for a match. It was hard work to get his hand down betwten himself and the large man, but he found the pocket at last, and took out three or four matches, all of which went out as he struck them, one after the other, except the last. "You're welcome," said the portly man, glancing down at him over his shoulder. "Was that your pocket I had my hand in?" "It was." "Well," said Uncle Jerry, as he lighted his pipe, "all I've (puff) got to say (nuff nuffi is that vou buy durned poor matches."?Chicago Tribune. She Was a Real Orator.?Senator Beveridge, during a recent visit to Portland, talked about oratory. "The campaign," he said, "has given us oratory more remarkable for quantity than quality. True oratory is that which brings results, is that which converts an audience of enemies to ar. audience of supporters. Such oratory is rare. "I have a friend whose wife, a suffragette,' is a great orator. Her speeches from the platform are wonderful, and her husband the other day gave me an illustration of the efficiency of her private speeches. " 'An agent called on my wife this afternoon.' he said, 'and tried to sell her a new wrinkle eradicator.' "'And how did the man make out?' said I. " 'He left in half an hour,* was the answer, 'with a gross or Dotties 01 wrinkle eradlcator of my wife's own manufacture, that he had purchased from her.'" Almost at Rest.?A kind hearted, but somewhat close fisted man who was sorely afflicted with a conscience came to a friend, holding a visiting card in his hand. He looked deeply troubled. "I know." said he. "this man wants to borrow money. I know he will drink it. What am I to do?" "It is j>erfectly simple," said the friend. Send down word that you are out." "I cannot," he said. "I have never tcld a lie in my life." "Then," said his friend, "lend all your money to me, and you can tell him you haven't a penny In your pocket." After some hesitation the kind hearted man complied and, having seen his caller, returned. "Well," asked his friend, "are your conscience and mind at rest?" "Not quite, man," he replied, "but they will be as soon as you have given me my money back."?Bellman. a Back-Water Town.?"It was one of those sleepy, one-horse, back-water towns, like Squash," said Representative.

He found the barber shop, and, after shaking the barber vigorously, managed to awaken him. " "How long will it take you to cut my hair, barber?' he asked. " 'Not long, boss,' said the barber. "And he rose, yawned and stretched himself. Then he called upstairs to his wife: " 'Hey, send the kid down to the newspaper office to tell the editor I wtant my scissors just as soon as he's done editin' the paper.

This was quite natural, for his presence and manner are most impressive, so much so that they are sometimes confused in the mind of people who do not know him with assumed pomposity. His friends, however, attest to the contrary, for his father, the late Major General W. H. Emory, possessed the same characteristics. Admiral Bill, for thus he is known in the service, is much sought after by social lion hunters, which is small wonJ!"?*?>. r\ rl A a Infovoot tn said he, "I apologize for troubling- you, but your servant. Murphy, has placed me in a most embarrassing position. Indeed, sir, I may say that he has ruined my reputation among my friends. 1 can never explain this matter satisfactorily to them and shall never again have the nerve to look them in the face. This note was written three weeks ago and I have just received it, Murphy having forgotten to deliver it. as you ordered him to do. It is an invitation from Mrs. Astor and should long since have been answered." "Is that so?" queried the admiral. "Well I will fix that no good rascal. Orderly, send Murphy to me at once!" Murphy entered trembling. "Murphy, what is this the doctor tells me about not delivering that note as I ordered?" thundered the admiral. "What do you mean by it? Have I fostered a viper in my bosom all these years? Is this the reward for all my goodness to you in so long keeping on my payroll such a worthless scoundrel? I shall have you put in double Irons on bread and water for ten days, and after that you will no longer be In my employ. Go forward!" The righteous indignation of the old sea dog was awful to behold. He simply stormed. He outraged Neptune. The unheard of had happened, his order had not been efficiently and promptly obeyed. When such a thing could occur the United States navy was surely going to the bottom, as the old saying goes. As Murphy started out Dr. Henneberger said: "If you please, admiral, let me intercede for Murphy. When I came up here it was on the spur of the moment. I wanted no such punishment for him. I merely wished to report the matter so that It might prevent a possible recurrence. It is a small affair anyway. I will write n full explanation, and Mrs. Astor will doubtless laugh over it. s nee, at the most, it was only my loss. "Murphy," said Cap'n Bill, "you have heard what Dr. Henneberger says. His plea for you is the only thing that has saved you. You shall have one more chance: but. mind you, if tills ever happens again a worse fate awaits you." "Yaus, suh, Cap'n Bill, 'deed and 'deed I'se nev'r gwine to forget nothing yuh does tell me to do. I'se gwine do it right off 'fore I gets erry chance to disremember. Honest.

After the departure of the now thoroughly appeased doctor the admiral called Murphy and said with that pompousness and solemnity that only a high ranking naval officer can acquire, "very well done; very well done. Murphy. Take this money"?a five dollar bill, by the way?"and have a good time on it." Murphy went out scratching his head and grinning from ear to ear, muttering. "'Deed.

STKENCTII IN TIIK SOIL.?People who remember the story of the Chicago belle who objected to stepping In the soil spilled from one of the overturned p J ease nis master, wnose manners anu style of dress he affects. Said Admiral Emory to faithful Murphy: "Murphy, you black scoundrel, you see this note? Well, I gave it to you three weeks ago and told you to give it to Dr. Henneberger. Do you understand?" "Yaas, suh; yaas, sub, 'deed I does. You done give me this yere letter three n-fnifs ncn to cive to Dr. Henneberger right away, shuah, and I lak a plumb forgetless niggah. done forgot all about it. Yaas, suh, Cap'n Bill, I understand." So Murphy laid the note in the doctor's room and hung around to await developments. Presently the doctor entered, found the note, read it, and at once became very angry. Hearing him Murphy said: "Doctor, what am de matter? Dat, dat note? Yaas, suh, doctor. I done put dat note there jest this minit. Cap'n Bill done give it to me more'n three weeks ago, and he done say. 'Murphy, you give this yere note to the doctor at once,' and 'deed, Lawd Gawd, doctor, this wuthless niggah done forgot about it." In high dudgeon the doctor hied himself to the admiral's cabin. "Admiral," Utrr, nilll'C Ilia uvmo wvtvwv w any occasion. He beams with good humor, has an endless resource of stories and his manners are very agreeable. The late Mrs. Astor was one of his warmest friends. One evening as he was leaving her Newport villa, where he had dined, his hostess said to him: "Admiral, would you mind taking this note to Dr. Henneberger? I wish to ask him to dinner and have no way of getting the note to him." Now, Dr. Henneberger was also a social favorite, not so noted perhaps as his shipmate. Admiral Bill, but with ambitious tendencies. otff It tc mtt iuusi t"t"i laiuij, uiauaui, u 10 hi.t pleasure," he replied with the suavity for which he is noted. But next morning he had already forgotten the note, and he continued to forget it until some three weeks afterward, when his ship was in Cuba for target practice, when, much to his chagrin, he suddenly came across it. But the Admiral is resourceful, and he hurriedly called his negro valet. Murphy. Murphy is a character.

It was entirely fitting that when Aclmiraly Emoiy, who has reached the age for retirement, hauled down his Hag the other day the ceremony took place in Chinese waters, since he is a popuular favorite In the Orient, especially in China, where he was lieutenant of the Asiatic station in i-m-. mm uuc| of the most interesting details in the whole of his service.

And where the soil lies the deepest a man dares not stand on one foot any length of time lest that leg becomes longer and bothers him in walking.?Exchange. BLAZED TREES. Uau T(i?w MarlrSrf FopBet Roads and Boundary Lines. Very few persons have any adequate notion of the meaning of the phrase "blazed trail," as so often used in fiction having to do with the great west. In earlier days, when large portions of the country were covered with forests and there were few roads, travel was often only possible by way of paths "blazed" through the woods. To blaze, in the woodsman's sense, is to strike chips from the' sides of trees, so that the line of marks shall indicate the direction of the trail. In blazing for a path small trees were marked, but in blazing for the bounds of a lot or town or for a farm line larger tbees were usually selected, the blaze being made about breast high. When, however, as was often the case, the blazing: was done in winter on deep snow by men traveling: on snowshoes the mark was necessarily higher up. When such a line is traveled in the summer, especially after some years, the marks are sometimes found high up on the trunks and are likely to escape the eye of the inexperienced. As nany of them will also be partially ivergrown. the task of the surveyor who goes over one of these old lines is not always easy. If the boundary line passes to the left of a tree selected for blazing the cut is made upon the right side. If the line goes to the right the tree is blazed upon the left side. In running a boundary at a corner, where two lines come together, either a "monument" Is erected?a staKe supDorted by four bowlders?or a tree is blazed on all four sides to indicate as nearly as possible the turning point of the line. The permanency of the record made by blazing trees is quite remarkable. It is a matter of fact that in many cases of disputed lines or boundaries of lots in forest lands the courts have held the record of the blazes as sufficient and reliable where carefully drawn plans and formally attested title deeds have been set aside. The wound of a blazed tree heals over, but never so completely that the scar may not be readily recognized by the experienced woodsman; hence it follows that so long as the blazed tree escapes fire and the ax of the lumberman so long it remains a faithful record of the line as surveyed. It will not lie, nor will argument or cross examination refute its testimony. Blazed trees also fix dates almost as accurately as they preserve boundaries. The outer shell which has grown over the scar is cut way. and the rings in the bark testify to the number of years that have elapsed since the blaze was made.?St. Paul Pioneer Press. . The Wild Man of Carcoar. The most romantic occurrence in Australia for some time past was the capture and death a few weeks ago of "the wild man of Carcoar." In the district between the little towns of Carcoar and Blayney, about 150 miles from Sydney, rumor had for some years spoken of a certain "hairy man," who was regarded with some fear by the people of the lonely farms and wayfarers in the bush. The man lived in a hunt by a deserted creek, where he was found by two policemen, suffer.ng from bronchitis. After considerable difficulty they captured him and took him into Carcoar to be treated at the hospital where he proved to be a peculiar intractable patient, principally because he thought the hospital staff wished to cut off his enormous growth of hair. When he appeared in Carcoar it was difficult to believe that the hairy creature nearly seven feet In height was a human being. Hair hung from his head in strands four feet long and profuse enough to Cover the whole of his body. There were also innumerable coils wound about his head. His hair was as soft and as fine as silk, and plaited very neatly. The hospital authorities decided not to cut it off, but they nevertheless had to call in the aid of policemen to get him to take a bath. He declared that bathing was a shame and a delusion and that he had not washed for years. It was discovered that his name was Fitzgerald, that he was 72 years of age and a miner. In his earlier days he had been a great wrestler and was proud of his giant-like strength. In his hut was found a battle-axe of iron weighing thirty-six pounds, with which he intended to break the record of Brian Boru. who at the battle of Clontarf had swung an axe weighing only thirty pounds. r uzgeraiu, who seems ?.?? uu*e umi of Irish origin, was also a poet and evidently came of a good family and was well educated. One section of public opinion considered he should not have been disturbed in his haunts, but the police captured him because he was ill both in body and mind. He lived on ground corn and other kinds of meal and when in the hospital refused to take stimulants. After two days in hospital Fitzgerald was brought before the police court and committed as a person of unsound mind, and three days later, still refus ing to take stimulants, died 01 neari failure. As soon as his capture was made known offers from showmen poured in. for all Australia immediately became curious to see tlie "hairy man." He however, disappointed tile public by dying. Though obviously suffering from several strange delusions the man was harmless and inoffensive and seems to have desired only to live the "simple life" in the solitude of the bush. His motive for cutting himself off from civilization may have arisen from a marriage which, he said, had been ar ranged but which had never taken place. His long sojourn in the bush had unhinged his mind.?Pall Mall flnzette. t- One pound of cork is amply .sufficient to support a man of ordinary size in the water. tie interest in any of the pomp asso- ' elated with his visit, and was happiest ' at the legation among his own people.

A year or two ago disease set in among the ground game, and they had to be killed off. The birds are very tame and plentiful, and cost the king a pretty penny, for he gives every head away to friends and to institutions in which he or the queen are interested.

The king literally buys nothing in the borough, though the queen occasionally goes shopping there. For the rest all the banquets and even the ordinary meals are supplied from London stores. Even the flowers for decorating the tables at a state banquet are brought by a contractor and, except rare fruit, nothing comes from the royal gardens at Frogmore. His majesty of Sweden, the royal guest on this occasion, is the most democratic ruler who has ever visited Windsor Castle. It would almost seem as if in him there was a reversion to me uernauune, miu ?a.i me .->uu vl of a Pau attorney. That is only a matter of three generations. It Is a 1 remarkable stride which Marshal Bernadotte made from a private in the French royal marines to the Swedish throne, and possibly King Gustav re- 1 members It.

Each year when these royal visits ' bring me to Windsor, says a contributor to the Manchester Chronicle, I no- ' tice more and more signs of decay in the royal borough. Shops are empty in the main street, and some of the fine Georgian houses in Park street are uninhabited and partly dismantled. It is a pity it should be so, for Windsor is one of the prettiest little towns in the kingdom. The tradespeople complain, and with some show of right, that the Castle is now an expense to them, from which they receive nothing in return. Every time the king has a royal visitor it is expected that the streets shall be decorated, and this involves a charge which their men were inspected, aiifl sent for General Sir Frederick Stopford, and complimented him on the appearance of the troops. The Irish Guards are stationed in Windsor, and have furnished the necessary duties for the visit.

DEVICES FOR BRICKLAYERS. Inventions Advance a Trade That Had Been at Standstill. Bricklaying as an art has remained stationary for u long period of time. , The methods of the past are still in vogue, according to Popular Mechanics, and present practice varies but little In the processes by which the oldest brickwork now standing was laid. Progress in bricklaying is therefore to be more expected In the nature of improvement of existing methods than from attempt at radical change. Two improvements recently made along this line are noted with interest. One is tailed the fountain trowel and the other Is a packet system of handling the bricks. The trowel Is a metal can, shaped something like a Dutch wooden shoe. The heel is used to scoop up mortar from the mortar box, and the toe hits a long opening the entire width of the can, though which mortar is poured upon the brick. This trowel or can makes it possible to spread a far greater quantity of mortar within a 1 M w, given time than the ordinary trowel, tnd permits the bricklayer to use mortar sufficiently soft to fill the joints better, not only because It runs down into tlie unfilled joints of the course below, but also because it permits the shoving of the joints full of mortar in the course that is being laid. The packet is a little wooden tray, 30 Inches long and the width of a brick. The bricks are placed on the packet, face up, in two rows of ten each, a weight of about 90 pounds. The whole Is placed on specially constructed wheelbarrows and wheeled to the place where the men are working. The packit is then lifted from the wheelbarrow, placed on the stock platform of the scaffold and pushed over to the brickI !(/?? I-.*-* ?xnnl/ot tiyiT, 1 11U U! ILMd} UI iill^ ittu |;aciv\:k ind deposits It on the wall. The last itep, that of placing the bricks in the ivali, requires but the moving of arms ind hands. Every one who has watched a bricklayer at work has noticed that he toss?s a brick about in his hand before laying it. This is not mere play, but the necessity of grasping it in such fashion that he can lay its best face for the face of the wall. With the packet system the best face, is always upward, and the bricklayer is spared this waste of energy and time. By the ordinary methods it is necessary for t..e bricklayer to stoop over the scaffold on which lie stands and then straighten up with no more work accomplished than lifting two bricks, another waste of time and energy thatj jiu-h ii swtem ns liip nacket makes un necessary. The Cost of the Census. The next census of the United States Is for the year 1910. and appropriations for the cost of collecting the statistics must be made by our next congress. The director of the census has issued his annual report to the secretary of commerce and labor and has usked for an appropriation for the next fiscal S'ear of $14,000,000. It is estimated that the actual cost of the census proper will be $12,930,000, but the remainder will be taken up in paying for the four annual investigations and the two biennial reports. The cost of our last census, that of 1900, was $12,520,000, and the director believes that the count for 1910 can be made at an Increased cost of only $410,300. formerly the cost of taking the census was increased 50 per ceni from decade to decade, so that an increase of S410,000 Is remarkably low in view of ojr arreatlv enlarged popula Hon. However, there are several reasons for this enormous saving?the tabulating apparatus will be built by the census bureau instead of renting it as heretofore, and the machines are of greater speed and efficiency; the operators of this machinery will be paid by piece work, and, in the words of the director, "the fact that the office is now organized at the highest point of efficiency, that no time will be lost In getting ready in testing the aptitude of green clerks and in developing new systems, means fully a million dollars' saving in the organization of the thirteenth census."?Harper's Weekly. 1 Plant Wood's Seeds For The Garden 6 Farm.
