PKKRIDKN'T MCKI.NI.KV has 'congress on his hands," and he seems glad of it.
CORHKTT—Corbett—who is this man Corbett we have been hearing so much about the past few years?
TIIK Indiana legislature must have been a model one. The Indianapolis preachers are saying good words for it.
IF Mr. Corbett could fight as well with his fists as he has done with his mouth he would still be champion.
THEIJK are more ways than one to make people come to your town. The city of Indianapolis has just annexed five growing suburbs, and claims a population of nearly two hundred thousand.
IN Chicago and New York a fight is being made against the high buildings of modern business life. In New York the real estate exchange has recommended that the legislature pass a law forbidding the erection of buildings exceeding ten stories in height.
AT a meeting of the unemployed in Chicago last Sunday a resolution was adopted calling for the abolition of all laws for the collection of debts of any kind. A resolution that was forgotten, but would probably have been introduced had it been thought of, was one to this effect: "Resolved, That the world owes us a living, and it ought, to be paid at once."
THE president this week appointed Col. John Hay, who is a Hoosier by birth, but who is credited to the District of Columbia, as ambassador to England, and General Horace Povter, of New York, as ambassador to France. The appointments are considered good ones, Col. Hay having had considerable diplomatic experience under former administrations, while Gen. Porter is a gentleman who will cut a considerable figure in Paris.
IIKNKY CI.AV was the only man in the history of this government to have the distinguised honor of being elected speaker of our national house of representatives more than three times. He was speaker of the Twelfth, Thirteenth. Fourteenth, Sixteenth and Eighteenth congresses. Since his time but three men have been elected speaker for more than two terms. These were Samuel J. Randall, who was elected to that position to succeed Michael C. Kerr, of this state, iu the Forty-fourth congress, sud was re-elected for the Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth. John G. Carlisle, speaker of the Forty-eighth to Fiftieth congress, and Thomas Brackett Reed, of Maine, who was this week for the third time elected as a Republican to the position of speaker of the house. Perhaps his election for the third time this week at the special session, is the more notable, because he has caused more reforms in the popular branch of the national legislature that any other man who ever held the position, and has launched his reforms with a fearlessness that is commendable. Phantoms and ghosts lurked in every corner and nook of the house when he took hold of it, but with a fearlessness that came near causing heart disease to some of the old fellows he wiped them out^ifti established some rules of his own, rules that made it possible to do business when the majority that wanted to do businfss was there.
That it has not altogether pleased all the members of his own party doesn't count for anything, because it facilitated the transaction of business. His determination And persistence in the enactment of rules for the government of bnsiuev In the popular branch of the legislature? are to be commended. The party in coatml of congress Is to be held responsible for the transaction of business, and all rules should be made with that end in view.
When the majority does what is wrong, then the people canpunish it for its shortcomings. To Thomas B. Reed more than to anj? other person in public life, or than has ev£r tfeld A similar position, the right of the majority of legislative assemblies to legislate because of its majority is due. When a man of^ similar ability ^nd like bravery assumes control ot the- senate fossils, then we will have legislation as we ought to have it.'^ And let it be said that from, all indications, Garrett A. Hobert, who came to the ^josition vice president with more experience as a presider over legislative bodies than any vice president in recent years, seems to have the ability to wipe some Of the cobwebs oat of the' senatorial chamber. They have been ac cumulating for many years, and it is to be hoped that a man has been found with a broom that will clear them away.
WHEN Congress met this week the new tariff bill that has been in course of preparation for several months, was introduced and referred :o the committee on ways and means, arrti it is expected will be reported back this week or next. It is sure of passage, possibly with but few amendments, in the house,' but the tug of war will come when it reaches the senate, where it cannot pass unless some of the gold Democrats come to the relief of the Republicans, who are in the minority. The new bill is patterned after the McKinley bill, which defeated a candidata for congress, and made a president of him. The majority members of the ways and means committe have endeavored, where it was in accord with their views of protection, to keep below the McKinley rates and in every case to avoid going above them. They have been obliged to disregard this rule in a few cases, but many of the schedules, like iron and steel, where McKinley rates are no longer needed, can be cited as evidence that they have adopted a moderate scheme of duty. They have put back the full McKinley rates in most cases on agricultural products, because they have felt that the farmer was entitled to all that it was possible to do for him by protective duties. The McKinley rates have been preserved upon tobacco, wines and silks, because they are considered essentially luxuries. There has been an increase on filler tobacco, in order to make the difference less wide between filler and wrapper and the temntation to fraud less serious, The title of the bill contains the significant caption, which no other revenue bill has ever borne, "for the protection of American industries." A very important change in the bill, is the substitution of specific duties for those based on value. The latter make it possible for undervaluation at the port of shipment to cause a loss of revenue to the government, which the new plan will remove. The bill, as a whole, represents what the committee regards as a scientific scheme for the protection and development of American industries and the maintenance of a self-supporting treasury. Whatever the merits of the bill may be, it is to be hoped that it will pass congress* secure the president's signature, and become operative as soon as possible. A great many persons do not believd that the tariff question is the one on which prosperity depends. If it isn't we want to find out what is the matter, and remedy the evil. Prosperity can't come any too fast lor us, and it can't prolong its stay too long to please those who have not been familiar with it for several years. The new tariff bill is the nearest thing to us in the way of legislation. Let us hope that it is what we have been looking for to "make the wheels go 'wound."
AFTER serving a term as a statesman out of a job, John J. Ingalls, ex-senator from Kansas, made his reappearance tb's week as a reporter of prize fights. His report of the big fight makes it look as if he should be a reporter out of a job.
CORBBTT is almost as much of a back number now as Weyler, who a year or two ago was going to put down the Cuban insurrection in three months.
The five o'clock vesper service at the First Congregational church to-morrow will be of more than ordinary interest from the fact that Omar MeWhinney, who has recently returned from Chicago, where he devoted himself to the improvement of his already fine bass voice, will assist the quartette choir. Mr. MeWhinney's voice is of the oratorio style, and shows marked improvement in even the comparatively short time he was under special instruction.

ROBUST HEALTH.
.How to Gain Vital Foroe—The Importance of 81e«p. Dr. Augusta Brown-Girard Bays: A strong, healthy organization is the first essential to success in life. With every thought, effort or emotiOn 'we expend
a
certain amount of vital faroe. We are vitalized, refreshed, during sleep. Then while asleep^tMf in a passive, state, we are reserving #hafc is already accumulated.
Many persons cannot sleep during the day. They should lie down in a perfectly passive state, withdrawing the mind from all outside external cares and interests. Make the mind a blank as much as possible, and in this state one may accumulate nervous strength nearly as rapidly as in sleep. Dismiss all contending thoughts and give up the whole being to be acted upon by nature's law— simply rest absolutely.
We must practice self control. Learn to stop exertion just short of fatigue. Nothing is gained by overtaxing and depleting the vitality.
A well managed, judicious practice of exercise and rest of body and mind will soon improve the most debilitated. The faculties and functions of the human organization are numerous and varied, and, to be healthy, it must be exercised equally.
We must not overtax, smoke, chew or take stimulants. Get right doVn to bedrock nutrition. Be very temperate in eating and drinking, taking only the most nutritious and easily digested food. Keep the mind hopeful and serene under all circumstances. Few people realize how much force is expended in frivolities.
Make two crash mittens large enough to cover the hands. Put 2 tablespoonfuls of common salt into just enough water to dissolve it, and then wet the mittens evenly. Let them dry thoroughly and keep one constantly under the pillow. Before rising in the morning and retiring at night rub the body all over thoroughly with the salted mitten until it is in a glow. Then dip a towel in cold water, wet the whole body quickly and dry with the second mitten.
This gives, the best kind of a salt bath, with very little trouble and in five minutes' time, and it will pay the most busy person to take it.
It is a protection against cold, keeps up a circulation of vital energy, upon which the circulation of the blood depends. Salt is one of the best known tonics for the bath of an invalid. The friction generates a kind of electricity, and one feels exhilarated for hours after. It is also a sleep producer. Warm or cold steel, also warm or cold water, judiciously applied to the nerve centers has a very beneficial effect. But by electricity, correctly applied to the nerve centers to stimulate or depress, as desired, one may produce almost any effect.
How to Seat Tour Guests.
The host leads the way to the dining room, offering his arm to the oldest lady or the greatest stranger, unless it happens that the dinner is given for one lady in particular, in which case she, as the guest^of, honor, is taken in by the host anl peated. at his right. The other guests follow* each gentleman giving his arm to$l^ ^ady he is to take in. The ttbstess fellows fast, with the oldcifit gentleman or the greatest stranger, who isthen seated at her right
How to Make Scallop Salad* A dish of cold scallops, surrounded' with tomato jelly, and the whole covered with a well made mayonnaise, is a very delicious and attractive one. The jelly is very simply made. It is merely the juice of a can of tomatoes mixed with boxes of gelatin and made into a firm jelly. The scallops are the most difficult to get right, as it is next to impossible to get the average cook to realize that they require hardly any cooking, one minute being an ample allowance otherwise they toughen, and a tough,, greasy scallop is of all things the most indigestible as well as the most unappetizing. If properly cooked, scallops are delicious, either hot or cold, with a mayonnaise.
To fry soallops for a salad put a teaspoonfui of salt and half as much pepper in half a pint of fine sifted flour roll the scallops in it and fry in deep boiling lard for a minute only. Put in the refrigerator, and, when quite cold, dish with the jelly and mayonnaise.

How to Make Nmet and Dalaftr Mncnak-
First procure from the 4mggist as many poppybeads as you wish cushions —the larger the better. Next get some baby ribbon in three colon maize color, heliotrope and white are delightful in combination. Cut each of these into lengths which, when doable, will extend half round the ppppybead, with a small piece anrer far a loop at the top. Pin thecenter of every loop down to the eye of the poppyhead, wdng*each color in torn. Next take every strand separately to the opposite end, sticking in pins on either aide of the ribbon at an equal distance all along. Having covered the poppyhead in this maimer the whole, way round, next prooeed to insert pins between the rows of ribbons, sticking them in, however, to only half their length so that the cushion has a very bristly appearance. It is rnqch cheaper to buy the pins by the ounce rather than the paper when a number is required.

There is only one-black man in the new congress and his' name is White.
Lee Meriwether, one of the candidates for the Mayoralty of St. Louis, came into notice a few years ago as the author of a lively little book telling how he saw Europe on fifty cents a day. He is now State Commissioner of Labor, a lawyer, and a believer in "muncipal ownership."
Of the 8,462 patents issued during .the three months ending Dec. 31, 1896, over* 2,000 related in some way to cycles, cover ing every part imaginable with inventions innumerable, showing the wonderful interest felt in the wheel by the inventive as well as the riding public. Among other cycling devices a lady has invented a dress adjuster to avoid displacement of dress by wind or rapid riding. If consists of a thin sheet of aluminum, with an attachment which has free play to slide up and down a slot, thus accommodating, by means of the disc behind a slot, the. perpendicular motion of pedaling.
Dr. Nansen, the eminent Norwegian explorer, has other strong claims to recognition. He has entirely and finally disestablished the number 13 as a symbol of disaster, for, not content with being born on the thirteenth of the month, he went off on his recent expedition with a company of 13, all of whom returned safely. The Fram got clear of the ice on the 13th of the month, on the same day on which Nansen arrived at Tromsoe, and, to crown all, he was entertained by the Royal Scottish geographical society society on the occasion of their thirteenth anniversary, held on Feb. 13th. After this the occupation of of the Thirteen club is quite gone. It only remains for some one to discover anew un lucky number.
Two enterprising American womenVant government offices abroad, and are in Washington to present their claims. One is Miss Marilla Ricker, of New Hampshire, who desires to be appointed minister to the republic of Colombia, the other Miss Cora C. Weed, of Museantine, Ga., who wants one of the European consulates. There is nothing in the law to prevent the appointment of a women to a consular or a diplomatic place, but it is doubtful whether a foreign government would receive an envoy of that sex. Miss Ricker was formerly a resident of Washington and a partner of Belva A. Lockwood. She was the first woman admitted to practice in the courts of New England. Miss Weed is said to be a bright young woman, and has held several appointments under the state government of Iowa.
