Some of them lost little time In acquainting their respective congressmen with this feet, and the result la that some of the members are at their wit's sad to know how to stavs off more applleanta The Democrat* throughout ths country hat* been told that they are to have fair consideration In the se? lection of supervisors, and that If a certain district 1* represented In con by a Republican, a supervisor that faith will be appointed, and the apposite If the district hap to be represented by a Demo? crat. That doe* not seem to be a good plan, however, for not a few itors have betn asking whether or not they are to be ellmlnatd In the selection of these officials. Appar? ently it Is ons tlms when ths mem? bers of the lowei house have It all their way. Representative Livingstone. of Georgia, ths ranking Democrat on tha house spprop rlattons committee, stated that If the Democrats got any good from ths distribution of a m ths compiling of ths next ceam they must "fight for It". In fact he said that he had already ad? vised hi* OeorgU constituent* to "nght for it" before the president If they were In earnest In wanting these place*, because that would probably he the only way they could land them. Another Southern congressman? Adam son. of Georgia, said that he didn't think the Democrats would have much of a show; In fact that it would be no more reasonable to ex? pect tonald ?ratlon of the president In that matter than It would be to ask htm to Ignore Republican* and ap? point Democrat* for other offices. Supervisors will receive $1.500 straight snlury, and. In addition, will be paid at t*e rate of II for each one thousand el' population In their re? spective districts.

Manning, July 8.?With deepest re? gret the entire community learned of the death of the 12 month old Infant daughter. Mettle, of Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Coffey. The funeral services oc? curred this morning at 10 o'clock at the Manning Cemetery. There was a large concourse of sympathizing friends, who expressed their sincere sorrow in the great bereavement sus? tained by this young couple. In a few years, this poor mother, like Rachel. Is weeping for her children, having lost three little ones. Mrs. Coffey was the formerly Miss Blanche Wells, so much beloved for hsr lov? able and noble qualities. Juliet Got the light. At a smart seaport town a star actress of the third magnltuds ap? peared as Juliet , "I cannot do Justice to myself," she said to the manager, "If I do not have a limelight thrown on me when I appear at the balcony." "We ain't go no limelight, miss, but I think wt could get you a a ship's blue light," replied the oblig? ing manager, and to this the lady agreed. The lad who went to the shop to buy the blue light brought back a signal rocket, which was given to him by mistake. The prompter took the rocket in good faith. Romeo?He Jests at scars who never felt a wound. (Juliet appears. Prompter lights a match.) "But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?" (This was the match lighting the fuse.) I "Arise, fair sun!" The sun, or rather the rocket, did rise, with a terrific hiss. Juliet was knocked off the balcony, the fly bor? der.! were set on fire, and the theatre was filled with a sulphurous smoke, while the audience, which was for? tunately a small one, made a stam? pede to the doors. Since then "Romeo and Juliet" has always been looked upon in that town as a dramatic work that could not be witnessed without personal danger.?London Express. How's This for Mud? Of all the yarns that ever came down the line regarding deep mud. the following should be entitled to the blue ribbon. It happened In the place where mud originated. A man was walking along the roadside one summer day and noticed a fairly good looking ha! out in the tiuiU. Reaching out with his cane, he gave It a cut and was started to hear a voice exclaim: "Here, what, the duce are you doing?" Then he made the astonishing dis? covery that the owner of the head? piece was under the hat, up to his ears In mud. "Great heavens!" exclaimed the man who had hit the hat. "Is that mud as deep as that?" "Deep?" cried the victim. "Why, man alive, I'm standing on a load of hay!'?Llpplncott's. Jnst a Few Figures.

Some years ago the body of a well dressed man was found In a field on the outskirits of an English town. There were no marks of violence, and it was doubtful whether death had occurred from natural causes or if the individual had committed suicide. In due course the body was identified, and a gentleman who had been ac? quainted with the deceased was call? ed upon to give evidence at the In? quest. Among other things, he stated that he had always considererd him to be a man of marked idiosyncrasies and his brain was continually excited by his Irresistable fondness for chi? meras of various kinds. The jury was evidently satisfied with his statement and immediately brought in a ver? dict that "death was caused by idio? syncrasies forming on the brain in consequence of excessive Indulgence In chimeras," adding a rider that "It should be a warning to people to re fraln from that and other Intoxicat? ing beverages." Ad Apt Answer. The dangers associated with the fishing Industry on the Newfoundland banks are many and grave. Fore? most among them Is thai the dories may be upset while Ashing, which in? volves almost inevitable less of their occupations. Callous captains, se? cure themselves from the necessity of going, frequently order their men out when the weather does not warrant It, and disastrous are the results. One of these brutal skippers was aptly an swered once by a bank man of whose courage or capacity thjere was no question. "Out with you!" shouted the cap? tain. "Hurry up there! It's a fishing day!" "Oh, no, skipper!" replied the dory man. "It's too stormy today for a boat to fish." "Nonsense, man!" rejoined the skipper. "If my old grandmother was here today she'd get her dory out." V "Then, skipper," said the man, "if her grandson will come out with me now I'll haul my trawl." It Is needless to say no dories were launched from the schooner on that date.?Philadelphia Ledger.

Don't Need a Fortune. The well diessed woman is not the ?ne who spends the most on her Lothes, but she who knows her own ?ype. There is a great art In only .vearing u hat Is becoming. This \? the secret of many a woman's beauty as well ai her reputation for smari dressing. The woman who studies her type knows better than to follow fashion slavishly. Not long ago a mothei nd daughter were at the same din? ner. The former Is a noted beauty while of the daughter is usually heard What a pity she did not inherit hci mother's looks!" On this occaslor :he woman had made herself almosi ugly by her adoption of the lates coiffure and inartistic use of th* ouge brush; while the girl, who was ^lever enough to dress to her type seemed a beauty despite irregulai features. Remember that clothes count quit* M much as features and coloring in making a beautiful woman, and sh< who does not choose clothes to suit her special style will fall short of her full measure of good looks. Thus a girl with a piquant face ond bright, young expression may venture to wear a sailor hat and Pe t'?r Pan collar though far past school (tri age; but a woman of rugged fea? tures and sallow colorings will look ridiculous In this distinctly youthful dress. For a woman with a receding chin and dull, small eyes it is folly to adopt a severely simple style of dress in hope to be thought intellectual. What she needs is fluffiness, some thing to soften her face and conceal her defects. To brush the hair back plainly and wear mannish collars only makes her look ugly, not clever. Another type which should affect extreme simplicity of dressing is the girl with naturally high coloring, bright yellow or certain tints of red hair, or with that somewhat unusual combination brown eyes and dark Inches with golden hair. Conspicuous clothes while they may not be unbe? coming, will ruin her look of refine? ment.?New Haven Register.
