J. H. HELLER, Manager, Let no man be deceived into thinking that the present congress is a "do nothing” body. It is doing a lot of things in the way of bestowing subsidies and continuing tariff grafts. It is feathering its own nest by an increase of salaries. And it is getting ready to make the most enormous and reckless appropriations in the country’s history. The people are not considered. Alj; that is expected of them is that they pay the bills. The ease with which that legal gymnast, Judge Artman juggles the c.nstitution and statuto-y law suggests that he would be a nrghty good man to h>' die t',n g ‘ f bouse rent juestion. If any J ’ in the *’ate C’’. list rue u >yse ;< ’.V to ru'caoeverything from canned corn to coal bills, Judge Artman is that man. — Anderson News, It is all right to enact reform legislation so long as the law-making power takes pains to ascertain beforehand that the contemplated legislative enactment is really reformative in its ,TJU_>se and p erisionc. Such pains, unfortunately, are not always taken, sentiment som-'.me get away with juugn ent. —South Bend T.'mes A life insurance senator having been retired let us rejoice, but let the rejoicing be tinctured with regret over the election of a powder trust sena. tor and a smelting trust senator, to say nothing of the retention of express trust, railroad trust, oil trust, copper trust and shipping trust senators. —Commoner.

T. MERRYMAN, w P. L. ANDREWS, 4 • CLARK J. LUTZ, Committee. o — . A clever woman in Minnesota has discovered proof in the Scriptures of a long cherished notion of hers, that a man should wash the dishes. She is of the opinion that this disagreeable task has been too long imposed on the women of the' house. So She searched the Bible in defense of her argument and in the twenty-first verse of the thirteenth chapter of Second Kings she found this: "I will, wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.” That settles the matter with her and henceforth hubby will have j to do his share of the work. It may be, however, by the time he smashes up a few of her favorite dishes and cracks the rest, she will be satisfied to excuse him from further service. Treasurer Lacbot has advertised a bond sale for Tuesday, February 26.

ANCIENT LITERATURE. How Some of It Was Luckily Saved f From Destruction. Considering that the whole of ancient literature was confined to manuscript, It Is wonderful that so much of it has come down to us. The preservation of some old writings has been almost miraculous. To a single copy preserved in a monastery of Westphalia, for instance, do we owe all that we have •f Tiicitus. This Is the more remarkable since the emperor of that name had copies of the works of his distinguished ancestor placed in all the imperial libraries and caused ten copies of them to be transcribed yearly. Still, only the one copy has been found in modern times. A page of the second decade of Livy, we are told, was discovered by a man ’ of letters on a battledoor while be was i amusing himself In the country. He | rushed up to town, but he was too late for the battledoor maker "had used uj all his parchment the week before.’ Two manuscripts of Cicero on “Glory” , were presented to Petrarch, who lent them to an old preceptor. This latter gentleman, being pressed by want, pawned them and died without reveal- , ing the name of the pawnbroker. Two . centuries afterward they were men- ■ tioned in a catalogue of books be- ' queathed to a convent, but could not be found. It Is supposed that Petrvs Aleyomus, the physiqum to the institution, appropriated them and. having transposed some of the thoughts to his own writings, destroyed the originals. The original Magna Charta of England has certain mutilations, presuma bly from a pair of shears. It is said that Sir Richard Cotton, calling one day at his tailor’s, discovered that that man was holding in his hand ready to cut up for a pattern a copy of the great Magna Charta. with all its appendages and seals. Oxy*en and Mnihroomi. A singular way of removing oxygen from the air by the aid of a plant is as follows: Inside a glass bell jar, suspended over water, 18 placed a mushroom. and sunlight is allowed to fall upon the plant. The mushroom absorbs the oxygen from the air in the jar, and the carbonic acid formed during the process is absorbed by the water. which gradually rises in the jar to one-fifth of its height. The mushroom now dries up, but its animation Is only suspended, as may be proved by introducing beside It a green plant, when it will recommence to vegetate, being nourished by th£ oxygen exhaled from the fresh plant. Hope. “Mr. Merchant,” said the new clerk, preparing to ask for move money, “1 think I understand the business pretty well now. and”— “Yes?" Interrupted his employer. “Well, keep at it four or five years. Perhaps you'll understand it then as well as you think you do now.”—Philadelphia Press. After the joy which springs from right doing the purest and sweetest ia that which is born of companionship with spirits akin to our own. Daninemi Methods. Great numliers of vast fortunes in this country have been and are being built up on the very ignorance of the masses in regard to business methods. The schemers bank on it that It is easy to swindle people who do not know how to protect their property. They thrive on the ignorance of their I fellows. They know that a shrewd advertisement, a cunningly worded circular. a hypnotic appeal, will bring the bard earnings of these unsuspecting people out of hiding places into their own coffers.—Success Magazine.
