Insanity la Herses. When a horse goes Insane he Is apt to himself by butting his bead Into a oyuer. At the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, the largest of its kind In the country, such cases are treated In an oval brick chamber, perfectly dark. When this Is heavily bedded with straw it Is almost impossible for a horse to hurt hlinself. Insanity, or "dummlnoss," in horses Is quite commoo. It is sometimes caused by a lesion ' qn the brain, and Is incurable, but when dfiftised by stomach disorders it is often treated successfully. ]ar Miss Lettie Huntley Is the sister of Mr. W. 8. Huntley of Cortland, N. Y., a well-known carpenter and builder. Her frank statement below gives only the absolute truth concerning her illness and marvelous recovery by the aid of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. She says: L Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: ‘Dear Sir: Twelve years I began to have hemorrhages, and font years ago became so low that the physicians .told me There Was No Hope and 1 should soon die. I could not be moved from my bed. Under my face wore napkins continually reddened with blood from my mouth. I could eat nothing ana had no action of the bowels for a week, Ths doctors said the cause was ulcers in the stomach. At this time my mother said she warned to make one more trial, and asked If I would take Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I told her it would be A Waste-of Money but finding it would comfort her, I began taking It. In a few days the bloating began to subside, I seemed to feel a little stronger, but thought It only fancy. I was so weak I could only take ten drops of Sarsaparilla at first In two weeks I was able to sit up a few minutes every day. In . a month 1 could walk across the room. Ono ■ day I asked what they were to have for dinner, and said I wanted something hearty. My mother was so happy she oiled. It was the First Time I Had Felt Hungry for Two Years I kept on with Hood's Sarsaparilla and in six months was as well as ever In my life. It Is now four years since I leoovered, and I have not had a day's sickness since nor any hemorrhage. If ever a human being thanked the good Lord on bended knees it was I. I know that Hood’s Sarsaparilla and that alone, unquestionably saved my life.** If you aie Blious take Hood's Pill?. 1 — Roof Kidney, Liver and Bladder Cures Rheumatism, Lumbago, pain in joints or back, brick dust in urine, frequent calls, irritation, intlamation, gravel, uloexation or catarrh of bladder.

SENATORS GO BROKE, MILLIONAIRES OFTEN DISTRESSED FOR MONEY. A Washington Merchant Wouldn't Loan Paddock •SO—Kx-Henator Palmer Had Three Thousand Dollar, of Salary Due Him and Forgot About It. Washington Letter. ITT TABHINGTON \/\/ corrospondV V euce: "There .--iKy . goes a man who Is worth a dollars," said a well-known newspau I per correspondent to p/Tfr/lj -I • vvw • 111 tle K rou P BtandlnK hi one edmer of WllTl jj fi lima* 11 Senate corridor an Senator Paddock of Nebraak a walked and bowed with {nTm v lllll’^^ l| is accustomed politcnesß, “and yet I ?' &«Sr<n«'Baw a man once re- ■ - ibt ilih , f 1 1 w<> to * ont * *'* ,n IBn rn nE lxlOll °y uut n I in'iUfiMllii- dorsed liiu paper.” jlrilTlf #l’ “You Indorsed Ms paper!” exclaimed a chorus of voices, "and he is worth a million? how much are you worth?” “Not a red cent," was the reply, “and yet I had to Indorse Paddock’s paper for SSO before a Washington merchant would put up the loan. It all camo about through Senator Paddock’s thoughtlessness. Ho is so much engrossed in his pure-fcod bill and other legislative matters that he forgot the little details of every-day life such as pocket money, railroad expenses and other things. It Is a fact that he once left Washington to go to his home at Beatrice, Neb., and neglected to take sufficient pocket money with him, having to depend upon the hospitality of a host in Chicago during a stop-over there until he could telegraph home and have money forwarded to him. Luckily, however, he had procured his tickets, and had those safely stored away in his pocket. ” This incident reminded Charlie Reade, Assistant Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, of some experiences he had had helping the millionaire Senators out of financial straits. “It is not an infrequent occurrence.” he said, “for some of the wealthy Senators to ask me to loan them money for a few days. I find there is a popular superstition among the millionaire solons against carrying large sums of money on their persbn, for fear of being robbed. I remember a case of ex-Senator Palmer, of Michigan, who has been estimated to be thrice a millionaire. Ho came to me one day end wanted to borrow S4O. “ ‘Why, Senator,’ I replied, ‘I regret to say that I have not that much money with me; but I will see If I can't find it for you.’ “I went to the disbursing officer of the Senate, and found that there was more than $3,000 in salary duo' Senator Palmer, which in his thoughtlessness it had never occurred to him to draw. When I iuformed him that there was so much money due him, he seemed surprised, and said that he had been forgetting for some time past to draw his salary I accompanied him to the disbursing officer. “ ‘I guess,’ said he, Twill take a thousand dollars of that money that Is due me.’ “ ‘Why not draw it all?’ I interposed. “ ‘Because,’ he replied, 'l’m afraid if I have any money I will be robbed,’ and then, as if suddenly reminded of something, ‘I guess I won’t take a thbusand dollars; you may give me fifty.’ “A week later he struck me for $lO for a cab-fare-down-town, having again forgotten the balance of his account on / salary. Ist’*/ “I once helped LL 7 Senator Stanford La ' out of a financial difficulty," said Mr. p V7/TT * Reade. “One after- ' IA noon the Senate ad- | | journed early and nearly all the Sena- bx- ssnato 1 palmer. tors except Stanford had gone home. Suddenly he came into my office, apparently in great mental distress, and wanted to know if I could lend him S3O. I had but $25 and asked the Senator if that would be sufficient. He said that it wouldn’t; that he must have S3O at once. Ho didn’t explain why he wanted it, but I naturally concluded that it was to carry out some sudden philanthropic impulse. Doubtless some of the many mendicants that throng the Capitol had poured a tale of woe into Stanford’s ear, and it was in response to such an appeal that the Senator wanted S3O at once. I suggested the disbursing officer again, and we went together to that autocrat, but he coolly informed mo that Stanford had drawn all the salary that was due him to date, and it was against the rules of the office to pay out any money in advance. He refused to advance us even $5 to add to rtiy $25 and help the Senator out of the difflculy. It has long been the rule of the disbursing officer of the Senate not to allow any Senator to overdraw his account. Finally I appealed to a friend of mine and he loaned us $5, and thus between us we managed to bridge over the difficulty temporarily. “It struck me as being very ridiculous that a man of Stanford’s wealth should find himself compelled to ask in vain for a loan of $5 from Uncle Sam, but that was an instance where he did it.” Some of these millionaire Senators have queer superstitions. Ex-Senator Fair lived in constant dread of poverty. He once said to his private secretary when th.e later exhibited surprise at a remarkably striking exhibition of frugality on the Senator’s part: “George, you know that I’m worth at the very lowest $20,000,000, and yet I’m continually haunted by a fear that I will some day be reduced to poverty. It ie a strange feeling that continually hovers over me and I am unable to shake it off. ” The late Senator Anthony of Rhode Island paid all his creditors from time to time with checks on a single Boston bank. It was a great inconvenience often to persons receiving the checks, and merchants here in Washington frequently complained because he did not check on the banks in Washington. His private secretary one day suggested to him that it would boa good plan to open an account with <?ne of the local banks against which he could check for the benefit of local creditors. The Senator demurred to this idea, and said that ever since he had been able to afford a bank account he had made it a business to check against a single bank in Boston. He said in this way he thought he was better able to guard against forgeries or other accidents which result in financial losses. It was a wholly unique and original scheme of financiering, and the Senator explained it in these words: “I had to devote nearly half my life to the task of accumulating what I have, and now that I have it I find that it will require the remainder of my life devising schemes to guard it.” .. Visiting the House. “It is very curious to listen to the remarks which strangers make after having shaken hands with tlte President at a reception,” said an attache of the White House to me recently. “I have stood on more than one occasion beyond the Hue and have amused myself .by paying attention to such observations. One visitor will say, 'He is not such a vary little man, after alii’ Another will

ejaculate, 'He doesn’t Icok at al! like most of the caricatures of hivi In the comic papers!' Stilt another will remark, ‘What a pleasant old gentleman!’ And so it goes, each person having his or her own Impression to express. "It seems to me very queer that comparatively few of the strangers who come to the White House knew how to address the President. Os course, the proper form is, ‘How do you do, Mr. President?” But lam constantly asked by paople who feel nerv< us about meeting the chief executive what they ought t<> say to him. Many are so embarrassed that they make no remarks whatever. I remember that On one occasion an elderly person, evidently from rural parts, rushed up to mo and cried, ‘I voted for your grandfather years ago, and I Voted for you In 18H8. Hope I may have a chance to help elect still another member of the Harrison family to the presidency some day!' Doubtless, he had prepared the speech carefully in advenoe. “The brides who visit Washington always want to lie introduced to the President. Newly married couples are apt to hunt up Congressmen frorrrttheir district and ask for points on this subject among other things. The best politicians among Senators and Representatives are always attentive to such couples. They often go out of their way to see that'they have a good time at the capital, because they know that such services will never be forgotten. The pepple will go back home and tell all their neighbors how nice their Congressmen have been to them. There is manya legislator for the nation who, without any abilities in the way of statesmanship, gets and keeps his place through cultivating popularity. To remember people’s names is a great thing. I know a man in a great wholesale establishment in Chicago who gets $7,000 a year just for rememberifig names. His l- UH/ \ • Wo WTO xM 1 11 HAVE SEEN THE PRESIDENT. business is to speak to every one who comes in by name and to introduce the customer to the clerk of Vie department sought. If he does not introduce the person to the clerk by name, the clerk is expected to find out the name and communicate it quietly to the gentleman near the door, who bids him or her goodby by name. This always flatters people and they come back again," ' Bleediug the Nation.

That most fruitful source of Congressional scandals, the Congressional funeral, threatens to break out again. This time it is in the House Committe on Accounts. It appears that the enterprising firm of undertakers in Knoxville, Tenn., who were the “funeral directors” on the occasion of the late Congressman Houk’s burial, have considered the United States Government a customer that might be charged “special rates." They have sent a bill for $1,974.90 as the total cost of burying the dead legislator. As a general thing, no questions are asked by the sub-committee which audits the funeral bill, but this year the committee, with the recollection of the many severe criticisms made over the Hearst funeral, determined to examine the accounts closer than is ordinarily done. The members of the committee found to their surprise that the enterprising undertakers had inserted items in their bill like this: “Burial casket, $1,200; trimmings, $200; draping the Church, SSO; stenographer at church, 'JI I li\ 'WwL. 1 1 " L - Jl "p 1 - TIIK UNDBBTAXER AND HIS BILL. sl6; photographs, $31." It occurred to the members of the committee that $1,200 for a burial casket was rather too high a figure. They made inquiries, and learned that the most expensive casket of which they could be informed was the so'-called Spear casket, which costs $550. They also, by looking over the bills for the Senate funeral expenses, found that the Hearst casket had only cost S2OO, and yet the Hearst funeral had been CKpensive. Mrs. Houk, the widow of Judge Houk, is now in Washipgton and is much distressed at the exorbitant bill of the undertakors. She, herself, expected to pay the expenses of her husband’s burial and offered to do so before the amount was made known, but she was promptly informed by tho undertakers that she need not concern ’herself about it, as “the government always pays the bills.’’ The Committee on Accounts proposes to put a stop to this system of indefinite charge, and has notified the undertakers that they must give a very definite account of the S2OO worth of “trimmings,” of which no one seems to know anything, and that they must cut down their charge for the casket to something like SSOO, ———2____ May 13, 1865, at about 6 p. m., the Sixty-second United States Colored Infantry fired the last volley of th<j civil war.

Two Canine Dromlos. Mr. McCormick woa walking down town, not so much in the interest of his bnainesß, which runs itself, nor for the personal benefit of the phvjiual exercise, but that the walk might tend to reduce the undue fleshiness of his favorite Irish red setter dog, Tip, who accompanied hhn, and who, because of the season’s scarcity of rain and ducks, and because of “setting” too much around the bar stove, manifests an undesirable predisposition to mental and physical inactivity. When McCormick was about half-way up the block his tender heart was auddqnly startled as he heard cries of sharpest distress, and instantly recognized the voice as that of hu favorite. Turning and looking back, he could scarcely believe his eyes when they informed him that an uncouth individual had gathered Tip up by the scruff of the neck, and that the man was diligently and dexterously, in technical language, kicking the stuffing out of Tip. And as the man kicked he ejaculated: “You won’t do what I toll you, eh? You won’t come to me when I call you, eh ? I’ll pulverize you, you viper 1* With a yell as of a tigress robbed of her numerous family of young but interesting tigers, Mr. McCormick leaped for the foe. Before the man had time to fall in the gutter the angered and artistic Mr. McCormick had struck him in three different places at one time, beside having kicaed him simultaneously in the vest pocket and the small of his back. The confused man having imprudently struggled to his feet, Mr. McCormick varied the second downing of him by effecting it with three kicks and two blows. “Wot’s the matter of you, anyhow?” asked the bruised, bleeding and muddled victim from his vantage ground of a now wisely-maintained horizontal position. “Wot did you kick my dog for?" asked the glowering McCormick. “’Tain’t your dog—it’s mine,” said the prostrate man, doggedly, so to speak, and then he called, coaxingly, “Here, Silk, Silk, Silk.” In response to this call for a witness, a badly-intimidated and evidently re-cently-kicked Irish red setter dog made a cowering approach to the recumbent supplicant, as if he had not yet dearly taken in the situation and did not know what diverse fate of kick or caress might portend. Mr. McCormick Ipoked at the dog critically, then he cast his eyes searchingly round, and immediately in his rear, seated serenely on his haunches and gazing approvingly and all unkicked at his master, he beheld his own beloved Tim. “Well, blame me,” finally ejaculated McCormick, “if they don’t beat ghosts or the Siamese twins! S»y, boss, you must excuse me, but your dog is the very counterpart of mine, and blame me if I didn’t think all the time it was Tip you was kickin’. So long.”— San Francisco Chronicle.
