MILLION DOLL What Would You do" ii' You Mrs. W. II. l\It..i) Just suppose y.iur income wan :\ million dollars a month, what would you do ?itii it? lt J s said that Sena tor Clark, of Montana, owns propcr ties whieii rot nu 1.?:J? twelve million : f dollars every twelve months-a million ii. i.tliiy. Tl. collect those rent* . r revenues he must have clerks galore to direct his letters ami \ swor inquiries. Ilia senatur?a/ duties occupy une set of clerks iud corres pondence, but \iia Jinancial duties kecp3 another Lurcau hard ut work every worfciug day i" the week, m .nth and year. ile is said tH \<v a widower with two children both married and set up in splendor for themselves, while thc senator himself occupies a fine house in Washington city and work- every day at his correspondence like he did | before he secured a minion a month for bi.- spending money, indeed l??ng before be ever owned a million for any purpose whatsoever. What be bothers with polities for I can't imagine, when he can spend his j mouey and live at case on any part of thc globe that he chooses, and see all that is to be seen in two hemispheres, ' if he wants to, and ride in any eort of conveyance t ii at has been invented j and buy any sort of victuals, drink or fruit that the world affords and still ? have .street car fare in his ?lockets. ? Thc life of politicians in Washington : has a gilded .?ide to thc shield but the , other side is very dark gray metal you maybe sure. When they try to get j there they race themselves to exhaus tion in money, if not character, vety often and when they ?lo get there gen- ; erally they are scared at every twig that craeks in thc pith fearful that something will chouse them out ? f the position and they spend their waking hours trying to enjoy their greatness, which is all the time clouded over by the knowledge that somebody at home, maybe several somebodvs are laying pipe for the very place which they cling to like it was their very hope of salvation. If they are poor and honest, they can live in decent comfort, but if sue!; people spread abroad their phylacteris there must be more money than ihe law allows to such a spread on their salaries?. Now, why should a man whose income is $250,000 u week and over $30,000 a day trouble himself to occupy a scat in the seuate chamber along with a whole lot of folks who are not built his way, and who arc sometimes in such a strain financially that their party friends must club in to raise enough cash to keep the hniiiti quiet? The time has been wheu such cliorts were made to relieve an extravagant United States Senator, and less than a quarter ot a century ago to my owu knowledge. In the name of peace and decent living, why should a rich man like Senator Clark care to tussle and whirl around in such a strenuous PROFIT The matter of feed is of tremendous importance to the farmer.

ARS A MONTH. With ii Million ii Month J Cad it:> io Atlanta Journal, play aa this, 1 can't understand, uu* lesa he in like thc bo> who tooW a swallow of "sheen saffron tea," just to know how it tasted,. Yea, J know it is ambition that pushes sonic foiVs into ??, but ninety liundrcdfcbi go into politics for the ?ijuoy t1i.it M made out of it; there fore, the wund? r is why an extremely rich m ?-j should enjoy tho company uiiil association of several djzen other poorer men who are pulling for thc money und what the money brings to them, i.i various perquisite*. Senator Clark had a terrific contest to get the place in the senate. There are said to bc between ten ami twelve thousand dollars in cash still hung up in Montana like Mahomet's collin. A legislator said he was offered the bribe to vote, but nobody could pin it to Senator Clark, wh > claimed that an enemy had attempted to charge it up to him, to secure hi> defeat. Nobody is brave or bold enough to claim the bribe money that was laid on the speaker's desk, so it may go'like saloon license money goes in Georgia to educate tho children in thc lapse of years. Senator Clark is an extremely polite and obliging gentleman. A friend of mine wrote lo him a few years atm for some advice as to mining properties in which thc senator had no interest then or prospectively. The letter ca'ight up with him in Caris, but heansv.rcd it. with care, with attention sud most respectful explanation. Ile is a man of method as well as of luck and ener by. Kvcything he touches prospers financially, and perhaps hu uses thc senate like children usc a top, for wholesome diversion. Hut the question 1-: What would you ?lo with a million a month if you had it? As my pencil travels over thc scratch pad tonight the wintry wind roars around nur dwelling and makes thc blinds rattle and blows pulls of .-moke down thc chimney, lt is cold and raw and bitter wind with rain, as it moans at the casements and sweeps in wild fury over the bare li e Kl st and brings hard weather with it. If I had a million a month (as I feel tonight) I'd build & wood shed in every poor, faithful woman's back yard und see she hal fuel to burn the rest of this hard winter, to keep her mind easy. If I had a milliou a month I'd put warm blaukets ou every poor old sick person's bcd tonight-, within my reach and some warm cloth es on their shivering bodies io thc | morning. If I had a million a month I'd build a home in the nearest towu where poor, well-raised, good, true women might go, aud live in comfort until death takes them out of life, becauso of all the pitiful things wo behold, it ?s the suffering of the aged who have outlived their health and energy with nobody to care for their comfort and happiness. In the morning if I had a million a mouth I'd do a good many things for my own comfort, I expect, but I don't think I'd bother with politics.

Philadelphia, December 18.-Dr. Ienry K. Pancoast, the univer.-ity (.ray specialist and skiographcr, dis ovored that thc ooutinued use of the v ra'ys on colored patients produces a radual change in the shade of the kin, and that in time it becomes cn irely white. Thc discovory was aade while treating a colored man for disease known as lupus, which had of ectcd thc patient's nose aud a part of he face. It was fouud that after the treat ment had bc:n continued daily for vera month the skin on the affected art had become entirely white. In ome way thc pigment of thc skin had cen destroyed nod the change t>zz?r d to bo permanent. As the patient fas of the darkest hue, thc contrast 0 thc other portions of the face, thc olor of which had remained unchaug d, was decidedly markuu. Exped ients on other persons seemed to rovo that the same result was pro uocd and although no such trial was lade it is thought likely that in time he enti.o skin of a oolored person ould be so aoted upon. During the summer Dr. Pancoast ontinued his researches along this nd other lines. This fall the colored ian returned to thc hospital for eoui Iction of thc treatment, and it was elided to make an attempt to restore he whitened skin to the original con ition. Local applications of a heal ng nature and 'tonics proved of no ene?t and experiment was then beguu 7ith the different light rays. It was decided to uso thc mys of a 'inson light, as this would both bene t the disease and also, it was thought, light restore the original color. At rst the .change was very slight. In act. so- *** treatments were mado be ore th eu is any change at all. Then gradual darkening of the skin was oticed, and * this has been gradually Dcroaaed till now the skin is of a dis inot brownish tint, and it is thought 0 be only a matter of time till it is re tored to the original shade. Just how the rays have accomplish d this result is not as yet clear, but 1 ie thought it has been done by a eneral toning up of the akin and re toring it to a more normal condition, hus giving a better chance for tho eplaoement of the destroyed tissue.

Tim Mill: Sir: Why is not the mule r<pre seo tel at the Horse Sh ow this year? The Missouri mule may not be very aristocratic or beautiful, hut he rep resents four-legged prosperity in time of war; and iti peace he gets to the front every tiiue. I love the mule. I admire his Bobriety, patience, endurance and sure-footedness; his vigor, strength and courage. Therefore I miss the mule at the Horse Show. I misa the music of mule and hinuy, and I would call consideration to a very curious circumstance pertaioing to the voice of tho mule and the hiuny. The mule brays, while the hin ny neighs. The why and wherefor of this is mystery until we eom ; to apply the knowledge afforded us by the physiology of breeding, in which we deduce from observation and phy siological facts the rule that the male give? the locomotive, the female the vit.'il organs of the offspring. Tho mule has the muscular struc ture of its sir*', the ass; the binny has the muscular structure of its sire, 'he horse. The organs of voice in th? former are those of its sire, thc ass; hence it brays. The organs of voice of th? latter are those of its sire, the horse; hence it neighs. Not only is a curious .natural prob lem thus solved by the application of the law, but the law is also strength ened and confirmed in a manner which we should little expect. Never till I came to note these dif ferences and reflect y pen them did I dream that a peculiarity of voice in au animal was to give me corroboration of my views on Ireeding. - W. B.
