Yet Senator Ti!!m m isn't a g vat
orator. In the 1 ir>t place hi? voice i*
a bit shrill andjuppleasant until lie j
gets wanned up to the shouting j
point and then it takes on a deeper j
and more sonorous timbre.
Again, he speaks somewhat disconnectedly,
sometimes losing the
thread of his argument altogether.
But, like a Creo le river diverted
from its path, he always gets back to
the mail, bid of id? 'gress in time.
He som-times makes his sentences
so long that lie has to pull up
short and begin again. Wlien tie
leads from a prepared manuscript
?this is not often?the monotony
of his delivery is tiresome.
When he is making a speech from
i data scattered about his desk he has
I prodigious difficulty in finding his
references at criticul junctures. He
gropes all over the littered desk and
the desk of his senatorial neighbor
on either hand for the missin '
of paper, flounders around
ueath the desks and on the floor,
becomes red in the face and flustered
and mad all through.
The neighboring senators make a
great show of helpiug him to find
what he is looking for, but they real.
* f

smiling all the time and apj arently
enjoying the spectacle of wiath
which the South Carolinian presents
in these circumstances A snicker
runs around the galleries at such
I times and this does not cause the
I Senator from South Carolina to
' feel himself any more at ease over
j the lost reference.
Hut always lie succeeds in finding
tile lost bit of paper in time. He
simply will not proceed until he docs
, find it and he has Searched for it as
long a< ten minutes, while senate
i and andieace waited. Then he goes
ahead with his argument,
i His gestures are those of a man
j wholly untrained in the art of oratoiy,
but somehow the Hacking gestures
seem to belong to and to suit
the ::ow of words when the Senator
becomes thoroughly wrought up.
, For all that he is a very well read
.j man the Senator is still a rough
| diamond.
: He likes to display his reading. He
I asked Senator Patterson during the
! debate if he had ever read that pas
i sage of Buckle's "History of CiviliI
zation" which depicts the expulsion
I of the Moors from Spain, and the
I learned old gentlemen of the senate
'smiled in their beards over theartj
lessuess of the question. Senator
, Tillman is the last man on earth
who might be suppose! to admire
J Wordsworth and others of the Lake
; school of poets, but^he often quote*
from Wordsworth and his contemporaries
of that school.
He gets in a Latin quotation once
in a while, too. He knows Latin,
having instructed himself in that
language as a boy and perfected
i himself in it in later life with the
"aid of instructors. Once a learned
senator, a university man, sought to
I trip Senator Tillman as to his knowljedge
of Latin and the South Carolinian
quickly beat him in to the
ground, proving tc the conviction of
all hands that he really knew more
Latin than his somewhat pompous
(interrogator. J
But for all his reading and selfeducation
Senator Tillman frequently
makes little breaks in his speechOnce
during his last Browns- i
Nrille speech he started to say, ^Everybody
knowed that this battalion," but
he promptly corrected it to, "Everybody
knew," glancing about at the
same time to see if he could detect I
any smile on the faces of his col- J
leagues over the break, for he is very |
sensitive man. He also said a bit)
later on, "Now I wont ask no mo'
time", changing this, too, to "any j

Colds on
the Chest
Ask your doctor the medical
name for a cold on the chest.
He will say, "Bronchitis."
Ask him if it is ever serious.
Lastly, ask him if he prescribes

Then you tell your doctor about the bad
taste in your mouth, loss of appetite for

Origin of Dollar Mark.
"Every American knows the
meaning of the dollar mark, but in
the urgent quest for that which it
represents few ever take time to
learn its origin," said a bank clerk
the other day.
''After a careful search of several
books," he continued, "I have found
that it was originally the figure S

people, anil it is from them lie derived
the use of the ligure as a sign
for our dollar. In a Spanish dollar
there are just eight pieces, and
when prefixed by a Spaniard to a
number it signifies so many times
eight pieces. The two "lines were
afterward drawn through to distinguish
it from other figures."?New

Miraculous Eggs.
I A correspondent calls to mind an
incident in the life of Professor Anderson,
"the wizard of the north,"
says the London News. Walking
through the butter and egg market
in Aberdeen, lie bought one egg
from an old woman with a basket
ful. lie cracked the shell on the
spot and extracted a sovereign
which he calmly put in his pock t
lie asked for another egg and took
another sovereign from it. The
wizard then asked, "How much for
the basket?"

JAPANESE POETRY.
Writing Verse Is a Part of the Polite
Life of the Nation.
' There are n<> long poems in Japanese."
says a writer. "A long poem

"These little poems arc so - j.
a part of Japanese life that cv<
cultivated person writes them, an
all who go to 'view' the flowers, the
blossoming of the cherry trees or
the reddening maples in Fyeno or
other parks, write some pretty conceit
in a hokku and hang it upon
the chrysanthem^n or lotus stalks
or on the trees. The hokku may,
therefore, be justly called the song
of Japan, as we say a certain ecstasy
in a few notes is the song of the
thrush."
An Animal Born Only to Die.
The instances of natural death in
the animal world are conspicuous in
comparison with those in the vegetable
world for their greater variety
and complexity. There seems
no doubt that this manner of death
established itself independently in
the different groups of animals.
?* ? -* 1.V.4
l cars ago an nmencau jiuiuiunsi,
Dana, discovered on the surface of
the sea a little animal of so singular
a character that he named it
' monstrilla." It is a small crustacean
akin to the cyclops so common
in ponds. But, while the latter are
furnished with all that is necessary
to capture and digest their food, the
monstrilla has neither apparatus for
seizing prey nor digestive tube. It
is richly provided with muscles,
nervous system, organs of sense and
sexual organs. It only lacks what
is necessary to prolong life by alimentation.
The monstrilla is doomed
therefore to natural death.?Professor
Elie Metehnikoff in Harper's.
The Letter of the Law.
The Hon. John Steel was a sheriff
in Missouri. A new county judge
was elected, and Steel, thinking to
pay the judge a delicate compliment,
selected for his first panel of
J urui S lai man in uic ivuuij,
The judge weighed nearly 300
pounds. The day was hot, and
Steel, when he took the jurors out
to dinner, fed them so heartily that
they all went to sleep during the
afternoon. The judge was furious.
"What do you mean," he roared
at the sheriff, "by bringing those
sleepyheads into court as a jury?
They haven't heard any of this afternoon's
evidence. I discharge the
panel. Go out now and get a panel
of men who will stay awake. I
want men with a single eye to justice,
not dolts like these!"
Steel went out and rode the county
that night. When the judge appeared
next morning Steel had a
panel of one eyed men for him.?

Flowers and Scents.1^^
"Identically the same seoa^lLsays
a writer, "may occur in plant\belonging
to widely different families.
For instance, the distinctive smell
of violets occurs also in the snowflake,
the stocks, a spurge laurel
and the blue water lily of the Nile.
On the other hand, closely allied .
plants may emit scents differing?
greatly in nature and appealing to'
the tastes of different insects.
Among the spurge laurels one spe-'
cies smells of vanilla, another of j
violets, another of lilac and yet another
of cloves. Flowers which exhale
the delicious smell of honey in
the comb appeal particularly to
bees, butterflies and the moths
which fly by day, as the humming
bird, the hawk moth and^the gayly
cbioivd bumet. The coarser and
more powerful stents of the hawthoir
end elder are tl e special aly^
lurement of the beautiful green rose
beetle and other flower loving bee
ties, wnne DUtiermes leave uiixo v-wwof
scents severely alone."
