jl WIFE’S CHEAP CHAIR.
, H E GOSS IN! O -ECONOMY REGARD
LESS OF EXPENSES.
I Fat Man’s Experience with Home-
Made Furniture —i retty to Look
Upon, But Ureale to cquat On.
New York, Sept. 23.—My wife is sub
ject to fits of economy. She has them
rery bad, and with an elaboration that is
ibsolutely regardless cf expense. There is
•ever any telling how much an attack of
this kind is goi' g to cost until it is all figured
up at the end. The married but otherwise
intelligent reader will understand what I
mean. The chances are that he has a case
of economy in bis own household. If so, lie
knows that there is more joy in a woman’s
sou! over $1 that was lost than over the
ninety and nine which it cost her to save
it He will appreciate this simple do
in' stie tragedy, and my woes will touch an
answering chord in his bank account.
1 was reading a newspaper and Maude
was buried deep in the “Young House
k '.'per’s Fiend, or How to Save at the
biuL'ot and Lose at the Bunghole.” I’m
not sure that this is the title under which
the book is sold but it ought to be, if it is
gold at all.
•'Howdy,” said Maude, looking up from
this instructive book, “I have found a way
to economize.”
“Then take it down to the races and lose
it again as quickly as you can, my dear,” I
said, you cannot afford to dally with eco
nomy just now. It is going to be a hard
winter.”
1 said no more at the time, hoping that
the economy microbe might lie killed by the
approaching cold weather, but it wasn’t.
The next day when I came home from the
office I found Maude sitting in the middle
of the parlor floor. She was sitting on a
barrel, and she had a saw in one hand and
a hammer in the other.
•‘Howdy, I'm going to make some furni
ture,” she said, triumphantly. “The
‘Housekeeper’s Fiend’ says that a nice arm
chair may be made from a barrel, aud I’m
going to do it.”
' “Where did vou get the barrel?”
“I didn’t know where to get it at first,”
said >he, “but finally I remembered that
flour came in barrels, so I went%ud bought
one. I gave the flour to our washerwoman.”
“Wasn’t that rather extravagant?”

THE ASSAULT.
“Of course not; that’s just like a man.
We had plenty of flour in the hous • and we
didn't need it a bit. It isn’t extravagant to
giveaway what you don't need, is it; The
storekeeper told me that he wouldn’t charge
anything for the barrel if I bought the Hour,
so you see I got the barrel for nothing.”
“My dear, that barrel cost you ?6 75,” I
said.
“Now. Howdy, please don’t go to flgur
tng,” said Maude, “you always make every
thing come out so hateful,” and her tears
began to tall into the barrel where they
made little wads of dough on the sides. As
she went to work with the saw she contin
ued to keep her eyes fixed reproachfully
upon me, and perhaps it was this division
of her attention which caused tier to saw a
hole about a foot and half long in the par
lor carpet. After accomplishing this de
struction the weapon turned aud split up
the front breadth of Maude's dress. Then
she began to weep in earnest
“Don’t cry Maudy, I'll help you,” said I.
“And you won’t scold me any more,” she
sobbed. I assured her that I wouldn’t and
she flung ber arms around my neck with
the saw and hammer still in her hands.
The hammer hit, me on the spine, and the
saw with one swoop took away part of my
ear and nearly all my confidence in Maude's
judgment. Maude was very sorry, and
she sewed on the end of my ear with two
finely contrasted, .-esthetic shades of silk
twist: after which she tied the ends in a
bow knot and assu ed me that when it
healed I should have the handsomest trim
med ear in Brooklyn. This comforted me
a great deni, and I took the saw; and went
to work. Wo carved the barrel according
fo directions, and then Maude proceeded to
tack on the covering.
“What's that stuff you’re putting on to
it!” I asked.
“That’s mummy cloth,” said she.
It struck me us a good name, I thought
the goods would be appropriate to wrap up
our remains in after Maude had finished
making furniture. Maude said it cost ?! a
yard, and added that she could have made
the entire covering for ?b if she hadn’t
spoiled four patterns in cutting them up.
“The ordinary width was SO cents a yard,”
said she, “but the extra wide was a good
deal cheaper at .f 1, so I bought that.”
An
VICTORY.
I afterward learned the she didn’t need
the extra width but had to cut it all off in
order to get down to the dimensions of the
pattern. I did not refer to this at the time
because I knew that if X did, Maude would
got up a disturl anee that would be exten
sive ut 30 cents a yard. I simply held my
peace and restrained my emotion while she
wielded the hammer. It was an old one
and the head kept coming off aud breaking
thirds, but I was able to dodge it most of
♦lietime. Every ody knows how women
act, when they get hold of a hammer. They
fix the nail, shut their eves, and then let
her come down with fury. At the end of
ten minutes Maude had driven only one
tack, but she had put that one clear out of
sight. She had punched sixteen holes in the
mummy cloth, and three of her fingers were
tied up for repairs. I sympathized sincerely
with her, but when she asked me to hold
the tacks and let her pouud them I was
forced to decline. She wouldn’t let mo
drive them myself because she said I didn’t
know how. Finally 1 agreed to start one
for her and let her finish driving it. This
gave her a ebanoo to use both hands, and
the w.y she swung that hammer around
her head was so frightful that 1 ttod. I
knew that the barrel never could stand
•uch a blow in its enfeebled condition, so I
net surprised on my return to find that
•he had smashed in one end of it, aud was
weeping over tho remains.
1 consoled her the best way I could and
egr.ied to send over another barrel. 1 said
that I thought, it might be possible to get
one cheaper than she got it, The next day
Id and so and 1 also sent over a man to help
Maude, a,m see that Stic didn't, snv
bor head oil or knock the house
down. The man is now in the hos
pital; but t ley made the chair. It
vus a gorgeous and elaborate affair, and
so new hat more comfortable than a barbed
wir fence.
After Maude got her barrel arm-chair
made die devoted herself to decoration.
Tire ''Housekeeper’s Fiend” bad someth!eg
to say about painting ordinary wooden
chairs so that they could be promoted from
the kitchen to the parlor. The suggestion
appealed strongly to Maude and she bought
some re 1 paint. She got enough to paint
the side of a barn and there were only three
chairs, but Maude wouldn’t have anything
wast and, so she painted one coat over the
other until it was about three inches thick.
It did not dry well, and consequently the
chairs were ornamental mereh’ and not use
ful. On a warm, dry day a man could sit
down oil one of them ami get away from it
when ho wanted to, but on a damp day it
was wise to refrain.
It war during this epoch of our domestic
existence that my old friend, Sam Lewis,
came around to call on us. Sam has not
been subjected to the wasting cares tiiat
have rcd'jc.d mo to my present state of at
tenuation. He is a man of ample and im
presssve proportions. I had a nice time
steering Sain away from Maude’s home
made furniture. It was a rainy day, and
the hand-painted chairs were as sticky as
porous pla-ters. When he entered the par
lor I piloted him away from them and was
just get ting him placed on a lounge w hich I
thought was strong enough to hold him
when Maude came up and nroffered the
barrel arm-chair. If it had been made out
of a hogshead San might have stood some
show to get into it. but a barrel, never I
took one glance at his breadth of beam, and
turned aside to i idea smile. Sam is a lit
tle sensitive about these things and I was
afraid he might think wo were making fun
of him. Some women haven’t any sort of
an eye for dimensions. Sam, however, fig-
U 'ed the problem out for himself and po
litely declined. He said the barrel arm
chair was so beautiful that he wanted it
where he could look at it all the time. Then
he plumped down on one of the hand
painted chairs before I could stop him.
About ten minutes afterward, when he got
up to look at some pictures, the chair got
up too, and it wouldn’t get down again, f
sent Maude out of the room because I did
not know what might give way first when
Sam and the chair parted company. After
she had gone I succeeded in effecting a sep
aration w ith no serious consequences ex
cept that the beautiful floral design which
Mauds had painted in the chair was trass
as forced

the remainder of his call lie stood up. i
sent him home ill a carriage because i
thought the sinali b >ys might discover his

on the street.

CONFUSION.
After he had gone Maude and I sat down
and figured the cost of that chair. It read
something like this:
One barrel w ith flour 8 075
One ditto, without 50
Man In help Maude 2 50
Estimated damage to my ear 1 37
Four of Maude's fingers at 50 cents goo
Arnica for her thumb 25
New dress for Maude 25 00

Value of brie a-brac broken by head of
hammer,also looking glass and my thir
teenth spinal vertebra* 51 20
Fixing floor where Sam fell on it 2 25
('arriage to send Sam home 3 00
Injury to his toolings 2 00
Ditto to his pantaloons 12 00
, Total sll2 07
Retail price of equally good chair 10 00
Bonus to encourage domestic Indus
tries $lO2 07
Maud* insists t hat if ?112 07 was the cast
of the chair, and Sam destroyed the chair,
we li st ? 112 07 when he did it. She say s
that if this were added to the account it
would foot up to 8324 14, which is therefore,
the real cost of the affair. I never could un
derstand Maude's arithmetic, but I let her
think that it was all right in this case be
cause I wanted to discourage the manufact
ure of chairs. Howard Fielding.
Ignorance of Sanitary Principles,
front th " Puftnlnr .Science Monthly.
lu his census reports Dr. BiUiugs esti
mates that in the United States 100,000
deaths occur every year from strictly pre
ventable diseases alone. This is unquestion
ably a very moderate estimate, and, if there
are reckoned also twelve cases of serious
illness for every death, we see what a great
amount of suffering results from ignorance
of sanitary principles. But how is this
ignorance manifested ? Are not our archi
tects competent to deal with the problem of
household sanitation l It will be said, per
haps, that it is the province of the archi
tect to direct the entire work of house
building and to arrange every de
tail of the fittings. But it should be
considered that tne science of sanita
tion is broad and comprehensive. Years of
study and of experience in sanitary work
are necessary for a proper understanding of
the subject. ‘ It is perhaps unfortunate that
there is so little in the severe and un
pleasant details of this work to commend it
to those whose tastes have led them to the
study of the more attractive principles of
artistic construction and the science of
esthetics. An architect should have the
soul of an artist, but there are few men
whose nature is so broad as to combine
truly artistic tastes with a love for the de
tails of difficult mechanical work, involving
the necessity for undertaking comprehen
sive and scientific research. It is the province
of the engineor to engage in an occupation
of this kind. His natural inclinations and
his rigid training in scientific pursuits lit
him especially for the direction of matters
relating to drainage and sewage d.sposal.
Eat With Comfort and be Happy.
It is by no means uncertain, but, on the con

well being of man's stomach depends that mod

to the stomach's tranquillity, and most to be
dreaded, is a complaint to the preliminary re

Stomach Bitters is specially adapted. It ena

of persistence to eat it with a rellsn, because it

STATESMEN AS CHUMS.
attachments formed in con
gress BETWEEN GREAT MEN.
A Pair of Senatorial Chums- I The
Blonde Twins of the House—Senator
Stanford to Retire—The Smallest Man
in Congress.
Washington, Sept 22.—There is no
more likable or lovable man in either hou-e
of congress than Senator Sawyer, of Wis
consin. He has been iil recently, and com
pelled to absent himself from the Senate,
much to his impatient regret. His former
twin senator, Stanford of California, lias
long absented himself, and Sawyer has
missed him very much. Together, they
w ere the portliest men in the Senate, and
would outweigh Saulsbury, Spooner, In
galls and Brown combined. Sawyer’s
wealth of waist and breadth of b am would
be ample for aldermamc instead of senator
ial position. He is a splendidly companion
able man, possessed of fascinating conversa
tional powers. Althougu past 70 years of
age, ho is not garrulous; but us he grows
older he grows fonder of the companionship
of his friends, especially’ his younger ac
quaintance. He has secured the passage
of more pension bills than any other two
senators; and has many pensioners upon
his private bounty. Generous to a fault,
nothing but safe and sagacious investments
have saved him from penury.' His entire
salary is expended in the employment of
clerks who aid him in his pension work; and
in addition thereto, he gives away about
?7,0 X) annually in small charities. He never
makes a speech. It would be impossible for
him to do so; and that is the reason he never
made the effort. Uncle Philetus is not an
ignis fatuus hunter. He will not try im
possibilities. Recently when asking con
sideration of a pension bill, he undertook to
briefly announce the merits of the case.
Beck of Kentucky objected to his state
ment, saying: “lam willing to vote 'aye’
upon the question without debate.”
Sawyer sat down, and the bill passed with
out any questions from any source. Aft
erward Sawyer went to Beck aud plain
tively said: “Why did you object to my
statement?” “Because,” replied Beck, “if
we ever let you get started, you’d talk ali
night.” It was a bit of good-humored sar
casm from the Scotch - American senator,
wbicii meant in liberal translation: Sawyer,
you cau't make a speech, but you are hon
est and we’ll vote for what you want any
way.”
v* YA
THE SENATORIAL 1 HI MS.
Senator Stanford, tile Califoriiiau sena
torial heavy weight, does not like his place
in the Senate. They say that he wanted
the honor of an election, and of course his
desire was gratified. But Jlio is out of his
element. Coming from the business into
the political world, was a transition too
great for him, and he is not content. No
sooner was he seated in that great legisla
tive body than lie fouud himself associated
with people who were peculiar from liis
standpoint. They talked of politics and
party preferments; but few of them would
talk business pure and simple. In the rail
road world Leland Stanford is a king. No
one disputes his judgments or beliefs.
Here in the Senate he finds Edmunds, Har
ris, Allison, Call aud others who know com
paratively little about railroads and grand
financial transactions;yet these gentlemen
are more than liis peers on all questions. He
is smaller than they. It is like transfer
ring a Napoleon to Elba. He is out of
place; or feels that he is, and that amounts
to the same thing. It is understood that
he will soon retire from the Senate by resig
nation. If he does so it will go hard with
Uncle Phil Sawyer for a while. Of all the
men in the Seriate, Stanford has a greater
love for Sawy. r. He finds in the Wisconsin
senator a cruiie business man who has
gained more than a competence by hard
knocks. Ho is surry tiiat so good a mail as
Sawyer should spend hi* last days in the
Senate but he loves him just the sam*.
They like the same kind of wine, too, and
they- smoke the same brands of cigars.
Gen. Wheeler, of Alabama, is the smallest
as well as the shortest man physically in
the House. He is a very little man indeed,
but he is an intellectual giant , not inferior
to Alexander H. Stephens. Wheeler was a
lieutenant-general in the confederate army
when ho was only 24 years of age; uud at
one time he conimauded the entire confed
erate cavalry. Federal officers alway s re
garded him as a dangerous fie to meet upon
the tield. Iu the House ho is quiet and un
obtrusive; but whenever there is any meas
ure before congress in which lie is specially
interested, he is heard. Nothing can
daunt him. It is recorded of him that one
morning when he had a matter of special
interest to his constituents, on pri
vate bill day, he raised a storm because
he was unable to get the speaker’s eye.
Pat ently ami unostentatiously, he elute* v
ort-d to get a hearing from noon until 2
o’clock in the afternoon. Then walking
down the aisle in front of the speaker,
when other members were securing recogni
tion and passing bills by unanimous con
sent, he shouted: “I object” again and
ugaiu until every member who liau matters
engaging their attention weie obliged to
stop ana succumb to the sharp, hurtling,
effective words of objection from the little
man from Alabama. Tueu he got recogni
tion, and demanded the passage of hisbdl
bv unanimous consent. It was done. Gen.
Wheeler was determined to be the one sol
itary determined objector who should stop
al! the legislation in the House until he so
cured recognition. Inasmuch as he seldom
pushes himself aggressively foryvard,
the matter was noticed and commented
upon; and since that day, whenever Wheel
er wants the House to hear and favor him,
he finds little trouble. It is a hurly-burly
place, ami a man must become recognized us
a fighter before he receives the wholesome
respect of his colleaguos.
THE BLONDE TWINS, VANCE AND GUENTHER.
Stewart of Texas is the tallest man, and
Barnes of Georgia is the heaviest, while
Ingalls is the thinnest man in congrees. The
most learned political leader on the republi
can side of the House is McKinley of Ohio,
and Tom Heed of Maine is the wittiest and
most sarcastic. On the democratic side,
John G. Carlisle is conceded to lie the most
intellectual, and Sunset Cox the wittiert
and most entertaining. Reed looks like
Bell, the photographer, and not infrequently
he receives compliments for the excellent
IPenesses which he has taken; and that
makes him ina 1. Bell,' on the contrary, is
sometimes complimented for Some witty
sjieecii, and that gratifies him and wreathes
ids happy face in smiles. Beil in pleased
with his likeness to Reed, and when an
proarhed and called “Mr. Reed,” he re
minds me of a Western cornfield; by griu
ning from ear to ear. Gen. Weaver of
lowa is one of the remarkable men of the
house, by reason of his extensive fund of in
formation unon all topics of public jiolicy.
No matter what subject happens to be-prung
unexpectedly upon the Cave of tne VViqds,
as Don Piatt desig latad the popular branch
of congress, Gen. Weaver is always ready
to intelligently and instructively debate it.
His memory is reuiarU&bie He w ill quote
from speeches delivered a dioade ago, refer
to books and pamphlets which boar upon
the subject, and clearly state his own po
sition, giving ainplv sufficient reasons for
the conclusions which he reacnes. There is
an aggressiveness and soldier-like air about
him which is sometimes commented upon iu
a critical spirit: but those who know him
best, know that he is tolerance, charity and
conciliation iier.-oiufied. His friends cling to
him as a leader, and his political opponents
respect him for liis hou stv.
Congressman Bob Vance of Connecticut,
democrat, and Richard Guenther of Wis
consin, republican, are the closest friends in
the House. They are both blondes, both
handsome, bright and lovable. Moreover,
were it within the lyouuds of propriety, it
might bo said that they are given to play
ing pranks and practical jokes upon each
other, like college lower classmen. For in
stance: Guenther recently returned ono
evening from an extended visit to his home
at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. After going to his
hotel, be started to call on Vance. On the
way, he met Amos Cummings, and they
walked together up Fourteenth street to*
ward Vance’s rooms. On the way they
met a crowd of colored boys, ranging in
ages from 4to 16 years. They were march
ing with wooden muskets and shrilly b’o'.v
ing tin whistles. They were playing sol
dier. “Hold on,” said Guenther, “Cots
give Vance a serenade.” Thereupon Guenth
er and Cummings hired the little darkies
to march up iu front of Vance’s residenc ',
play a tune and shout: “Three cheers for
Congressman Bob Vance of Connecticut.
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah! Tiger!” The
little fellows carried out their instructions
to the letter, end were paid for their serv
ices. Vance did not respond to the sere
nade, but ho heard, that evening, that
Guenther had returned. The next morning
the New York Sun and the World contained
announcements of the great serenade which (
had been tendrod Vance “by the Tr ’tter
Guard of Washington,” Aud, when
Guenther came down stairs to breakfast
next morning, he was handed an express
package which seemed rather heavy lor him,
and he wrote across the address: 'ln care
of Congressman Vance, No. 61)8 Fourteenth
street,” and the package was returned to
Vance who had sent it. It contained two
