Uncle Joseph Cannon, the speaker of i the house of representatives, lias pur- ! chased a brand new overcoat, and thereby hangs an interesting tale, If all reports are true, says the Washing ton Post. Uncle Joe has never been accused of ' being a fashion plate when It conies to wearing apparel. His clothes have always been neat, hut plain, and never of an expensive kind. When it conies to overcoats his intimate friends de clare lie never paid more than S13 for 1 a garment, and a ready made one at that, lie is known to practice economy in the buying of his business clothes. The overcoat that Uncle .loe had lelt over ibis winter from several seasons began to show considerable wear. Mi>- , Cannon, thinking her father should pre- I sent a little better appearance since la* had been elevated to the speakership. 1 set out one day recently to select a new : overcoat for him. Passing a fashion- i abb* haberdasher’s establishment on Pennsylvania uvehue in Washington, \ she spied an elegant coal hanging in the display window. Miss Cannon went into the establish ment and asked permission to examine the coat, stating that her father needed 1 a new one. When asked the price of 1 the garment the clerk replied $50. “Well, my father never pays more iliuu $15 for Ids coats, hut 1 want him to have this one,” she said. Miss Can non, according to the story that is go ing the rounds of the capitol, told the 1 1 clerk that she would have her father | call and look at the coat and to tell him 1 its price was $15 and she would pay , the difference. That evening when the speaker , | readied his abode ids daughter told of the coat she had selected and asked him to get it the following morning. He did so and bought it for $15. Arriv ing at the capitol attired in his new ; purchase, tin* speaker went to the ap propriations committee room. There he was greeted by Representative Hem- enway of Indiana and other members. “My gracious, Uncle Joe, aren’t you putting on lots of style here of late? That’s a line overcoat you have on. 1 don’t understand how you can afford to be so extravagant and fastidious in your habits,” said Mr. Hemenway. \Vit 111 iIm- Flrul Arr«**t at the Noted I.11 oil 111 a 1-k lt«*venl<*il. In New York the other day John Jumbal, a waiter, was arraigned for Belling a glass of beer to a policeman on Sunday withour insisting on the customary sandwich being purchased. In the complaint the place in which the liquor was sold was put down ns “101 liroad street.” After questioning the waiter and the policeman for some time Judge Hol brook, who presided, looked at Lawyer Walsh and asked: “Has that place at 101 Broad street a good reputation?” The lawyer answered In the affirma tive. and then the judge asked: “How long has the place been there?” This appeared to surprise Mr. Walsh, and. after gazing at the celling for a moment, he answered: “Oh, 1 guess somewhere between 130 and 140 years.” “What’s that?” asked the Judge as be and his colleagues straightened up. “How long did you say?” “Well, for more than a century and a quarter,” replied the lawyer, “and ns far as I can learn this is the tirst arrest that has ever been made there. That ought to establish a good reputation, I think.” “But what place is it?” was the judge’s next question. “Why, 1 thought you knew.” said the lawyer as he laughed. “That Is Frau nee’s tavern, and 1 don’t suppose I need tell you anything of its his tory." The three judges bowed their heads I over their desk fora few moments, and when Judge Holbrook rendered the ver- j diet of the court his face was flushed. “The prisoner is discharged.” he said simply. Frauuce’s tavern is the famous old place in which Washington bade fare well to his officers on Dec. 23. 1783. CONSUMPTION. 8»m« ThoughlM with NprclHl Reference to ItH "Open Air" Tr< »Intent. IHy 8. H.Urltlith, M. D.l There are few diseases which are considered more certainly and unex ceptlonally fatal to human life than is consumption of the lungs. The emaciated form, the hollow cheek with its hectic flush, the pough, dyspnoea, night sweats, etc., all combine to form a picture in our minds very closely allied to that of death Itself—and not a quick, easy, painless death, but rather a pro longed, agonizing, living death. So universally is this fact recog nized that recovery from a supposed case of consumption is considered by the laity, at least, as positive proof of a mistake in diagnosis—that the person was in reality afflicted with some other disease And yet. con ceding the usual fatal termination of this malady the fact that nature does frequently effect a cure ie., stops the tubercular process, forms a cica trix over the diseased tissue and thus allows a person to live to old age or die from some other cause is, abundantly proven by post-mortem examination. When we consider the ravages of this disease, accountable us it is for one- sixth of all deaths from natural causes, it is by no means surprising uat some o( me best medical thought of the world should have been direct ed for ages toward the discovery of a cure.

N. J., which was organized among the society ladies a few weeks ago as a social or ganization, has become so popular that desperate efforts are being made by the boycotted young men to break it, says a Clayton dispatch. A clause in the club’s bylaws compels every member to, se cure her escort from out of town, im posing a fine for each violation of the rule. The weekly banquets given by the club proved so popular that almost every eligible girl in town is now a member. But the young men assert they have trump card to play in the game his fine villa, comprising studio and J against the Quails.

Bartholdi said that he is always cherishing as ills favorite idea the turning of Bedloe’s island into a sort of national American Pantheon, girted with the statues of those who have contributed to their country’s fame, with Washington, Lafayette and other famous generals perhaps as a central group. He would also have the bodies of all the presidents removed to Bedloe’s Is land and would have a comprehensive museum of national relics established. He believes that such a spot would prove a Mecca for all Americans, in stilling patriotism Into the young.

Each one as he is married will receive enough from the treasury to pay all expenses at some popular resort for one week. The rules of the club further state that if the girl is a member of the Quails the couple will receive a handsome wed ding present in addition.

What joy some winter morning When I suddenly awake. And Just the thought of getting Up will make the covers shake, When chilly drafts Inform me That the furnace Are Is low, And. looking out the window, I can see the falling snow, What joy It is to listen To my neighbor's cheerful talk And the merry, msrry clatter Of the shovel on thg walk. I make a mental picture Of the snowdrift on the street. And sleep at once becomes a Blessing more than twice iui sweet. Oh, how I hug the pillow E’en more tightly than before And make all kinds of wishes That relate to sleeping morel I know that “duty calls" me. But I’n much Inclined to balk When I hear the merry clatter Of the shovel on the walk. Give me the good old summer, When the snow Is at the pole. And I don't have to shovel Any ashes, snow or coal. Let any*man that wishes Spend his morning pushing snow, But not for me the labor When the biting blizzards blow. The stuff about the pleasure Of the work Is dippy talk. And I don't like to hear the clatter Of the shovel on the walk —Albany Tlmes-Union. the microscope show the elements to be full of them but the vast majority are of the harmless variety whose presence in disease is purely acciden tal During the early and middle part! of the last century there lived in New York city a certain W. W. Hall, M. ; D., editor of Hall’s Journal of; Health, a very popular medical journal of that day. Dr Hall direc ted his attention almost exclusively to the consideration of bronchial and lung diseases, and wrote among other things a v**ry plain, practical,common sense treatise on consumption. The doctor knew nothing of Koch’s bacil lus and cared less. He tiok the posi- tiou that consumption of the lungs is caused by the stagnation of blood in the air cells, the minute vessels that ramify their very thin walls being bent and twisted by collapse of the cell, thus impeding the flow of blood through the lungs. This stasis and consequent thickening and lack of aeration of the blood, he held to be the beginning cf tubercle. Whatever bacteriologists may think of such a theory and whatever may be the true cause of consumption, the simple hygenic “open air” treat ment of Dr. Hall, based upon his idea as to cause, has proven to be the only one that has ever shown any positive, indubitable results in the way of curing the disease. And treatment after all is the thing in which the majority of us are most interested. What cares the poor consumptive about the cause of bis malady? That part of the subject which most vitally interest him is, how he may get rid of it. Dr. Hall claimed that there could be no such thing as consumption of the longs so long as the air cells were kept distended with air. His treat ment then was a natural inference. He placed no reliance upon drugs but advocated living and exercising in and breathing the pure open air at all times and under all circumstances. Never mind the weather. Prepare yourself for it and take it, rain or shine, hot or cold. Shun your com fortable dwelling with its easy chairs and luxurious sofas as you would a pest bouse. It will prove a veritable death trap for ydu. Learn how to breathe so as to expand every air cell and practice the correct made of breathing nntil it becomes second na ture with you. Don’t expeot to have an easy time of it. It Is a fight for life, and as you value life you can’t afford to take half way grounds or make any oonopromises.
