Representative* and the -New Onler
at the Capitol in V/usliimrton.
The house of representatives pre
sents a changed appearance by reason
of the removal of th? 303 little desks
used by the sixty-second congress and
the substitution therefor of nearly 450
semi-detached chairs as a substitute,
in order to accommodate the great increase
in numbers of the sixty-third
over the sixty-second congress. This
change in the formal arrangements of
the house was necessitated, primarily, i
by the increased number of sittings,
but nevertheless there was a secondary
reason on which the change* was j
based, and that was the expediency of;
shortening the periods of speachmak- j
ing and thereby facilitating action up- i
on, rather than talk.
Anglophiles in Washington are disposed
now to refer to the new seats in
the house as "the benches. ' This is
-very Englisii and tremenaousiy parliamentary,
but it isn't true. They are
to all intents and purposes chairs, only
they are stationary, fixed and immovable,
a distinct advantage to certain:
members who have been in the habit
of endeavoring to convert the old-time
swivel chairs so-long used in the house
into reclining chairs, with the result
of frequent and noisy precipitations to
. the floor. The chairs in the house today
are arranged in blocks of four or
five, never less than three, and to tip
one over would require the concerted
effort of all the members occupying
the block. By means of this innova
_..n
tion tn-e dignity or tne nouse, as wen :
as the equilibrium of its members is j
preserved.
In the days of the old swivel chairs,
tumbles were frequent. There was a
spring in the back of the old-fashioned
chairs, which, when subjected
to too great strains, was apt to snap
with a sharp re^rt, whereupon the
chair keeled over, sometimes landing
its occupant on the carpet. The heavier
the congressman, the greater the
strain on the chair and the oftener
the collapse.
So much for the physical advantages
of the new system. The benefit to the
t
administration of business in the [
house is figured in this wise. The only'
chance for a member to lug into the '
chamber reams of substantiating doc- |
uments for his arguments, is for him j
to make advance arrangements, either j
with the majority <*r the minority j
leader, for space at one or the oth-er |
of the tables which are set in the body 1
of the house. There are but two of j
these tables and each accommodates l
but four men. Failing to effect this |
arrangement, the member with the
much to say is compelled to distribute j
his documentary crutches in various j
nearby chairs or upon the floor. It is j
expected that this arrangement will
serve to subdue tendencies to verbos- j
ity.
I
It was different in the old days. One j
of the desks then in use could acccm- i
date a dozen or more volumes. Two
hour speeches in which the member
talked for twenty minutes and read
for the remaining hundred of his al
lotment were not infrequent. General
debate, that twilight zone between the
introduction of an important measure
and the actual conversion of the house
into a real business-like body?the
committee of the whole house on the
State of the Union?had becom-9 more
or less a nuisance. Under the new
system there will be no chance, or at
least small chance, for the congressman
with nothing to say to waste the
time of the house. This change
marks an approach, at least the first I
step, in the direction of the more bus- j
inessiike procedure employed in the
jBritisfc Aouse of commons. There
speeches are presumed to be the extemporaneous
productions of the members.
It is against custom to read a
speech in the house of commons. If
the member desires to inject statistical
matter into his argument or to
make a verbatim quotation in brief;
support of his contention, h-e may re
fer to memoranda; otherwise he talks ,
at and does not read to the speaker.
The house of commons believes that
i
busin-ess is benefitted and debate j
shortened by this method. The member
not an extemporaneous orator is
compelled to memorize what he has to
say, and the house gets the benefit in
exact measure with his memonic
limitations.
The development of the new scheme
in the house of reprv.ooctatives, it is
hoped, will result in a tendency
among rrombers of congress to shorten
their speeches.
Self-condemnation Sometimes Is
Dangerous.
In the course of a highly practical
and suggestive article., entitled, "The ;
Mental Law of Habit," in the May
Woman's Home Companion. Ralph ;
Waldo Trine discusses habit forming
and habit breaking. On the subject ?
of self-condemnation, he says: i
"Self-condemnation with its allied
i
h
i-J
Noughts and emotions has be 11 productive
of a i'nr greater loss in initiative,
in will power and of a far great
t*i" uegiet1 ui lurtcieu uiaiu;, uuw
mental and physical, than any of us
have perhaps realized. It has even
been commended as a just and proper
recognition of one's faults, errors and
delinquencies. It is calculated knowingly,
or unwillingly, chiefly the latter
perhaps, from infancy to old age.
"The child is asked if he is not
ashamed on account of some act or
acts that it does not even know as
wrong, and that in many cases are not
wrong. The young man and maiden
the same. Men and women in middle
life naturally then get into this selfcondemnatory
state. They weaken
their energies, and defeat the happiness
of many a day thereby. The
church, even, from almost time immemorial
has also been guilty?even
grossly guilty?of the use of this same
weapon, which steals self-respect, discourages
and lowers vitality, instead
of calling out the higher and the better
self, inspiring and calling "into action
thereby faith, and hope, and courage,
those powerful agencies of accomplishment,
which when sufficiently
aroused and kept alive, will carry a
man or a woman practically any
where.
MAKE PRECEDEST.
Four Divisions of the Presbyterian
Church Join in Communion,
Atlanta, Ga., May 16.?For the first
time in the history of Presbyterianism
the four grand divisions"of the church,
the Northern, the Southern, the United
and the Associate Reformed, joined
late this afternoon in a union communion
service. Participating were
more than 3,000 communicants.
Presiding over the communion service,
which was impressive in its simplicity,
were Dr. J. S. Lyons, Dr. R.
M. Russell and Dr. J. T. Stone, moderators
of the Southern, United and
Northern assemblies. A brief invocation
of Divine blessings and the singing
of psalms was followed by an address
by Russell, in which he laid
especial emphasis upon the significance
attached to the union communion
service as the forerunner of ultimate
union of the whole church. A prayer
by Dr. Lyons and pronouncement of
the benediction by Dr. Stone ended
the Drecedent breaking service.
Marriage and Divorce.
Th-e second day of the joint assembly
was productive of much that vitally
affects the hosts of Presbyterianism.
'Sessions were held by the Northern,
Southern and United Assemblies,
both in the morning and afterncon.
An interesting feature of the day
was the adoption by the Northern Assembly
of a resolution presented by
the committee on Christian life and
work bearing directly upon the ''divorce
evil," and making recommendations
for the marriage and divorce.
This resolution recommends that the
ministers and church courts of the
Northern Assembly institute a
campaign of education with the object
of impressing upon the people
the sacredness of marriage and the
evils of divorce, and to arouse in the
public mind a realization of the need
of reform. Ministers are urged to
study the laws touching these matters |
in the several states, iooKmg ujvva.ru j
the introduction of improved marriage <
and divorce laws. Recommendations
of the committee on Christian life and
work to the effect that the
LOVE IS IMPATIENT.

Dr. Evans. Ex-Commissioner of Health,
says: "There is almost no relation between
skin diseases and the blood." The
skin must be cured through the skin.
The germs must be washed out, and so
salves have long ago been found worthless.
The most advanced physicians of
this country are now agreed cn this, and
are prescribing a wash of wintergreen,
thymol and other ingredients for eczema
and all other skin diseases. This compound
is known as D.D.D. Prescription
for Eczema.
Dr. Holmes, the well known skin speTT-T-itoe
"T am nrmvin.^ed that the
r>.D.D. Prescription is as much a specific
for eczema as quinine for malaria. We
have been prescribing the D.D.D. remedy
for years."
We. ourselves vouch for the D.D.D.
