The senate pages hare a more secure Maun s»d - 'h“d themselfas to be of a little more importance than tho boys who wait on the representatives. But the latter profess contempt for a class of young; nals who don’t take the of politics at erery election, and pride themselves upon their own doss Alliance to their party's vicissitudes. They look upon the knee breeched at taches of the senste as old fogies without knowledge of wire pulling. They are themselves au fait on all matters politi cal They are the “legs" of the congressmen, but they have beads of their own that ere crowded with aohsaws to their full capacity. They are not usually wall up fa book learning, but are well up on again of state. They enter public life at the mature age of 10 or 11 years, upon s'salaty of $2.50 aday and such per quisites as fall into their hands, and, if their political fortunes are good, remain in terries until they are no longer boys. Then they go out into the world to be- politlcians, drummers, railroad nta or congressmen, or else take a aid tarn. They usually enter the field of politic* as they are familiar with all its branches. They are fully equipped for the position of senator or representa- tive, but deficient tn almost all other use ful knowledge. The average page of 14 or 15 years old counts in his wardrobe a beaver hat, a nalr'cf.koee breeches, a cigar case, a Lord Chumley overcoat and a horn handled cane. Many of these have a brilliant career daring their tender years and have gone through all excesses of mature manhood before they are old to vote at any well regulated iWlWouw .ride. -there, are. thirty pages,; fifteen who sit on tbs right of the speektr.te wait on the Democrats and fifteen oa,tbe other aide to respond to tho call of the Republicans.

Aa a member grows older in service ho discovers so many ways of in creasing bis expenses above the limit of his salary without giving away money just to impress these little men that be gradually gets out of the habit of “tip ping.’’ The pages, too, have suffered through the graceless conduct of Silcott. The members at the opening of this sew cion did not feel that they could afford to be quite as liberal as usual Another source of revenue {for (Tie boys is from the distribution of circulars and pamphlets through the house. Near ly every great project that is brought to the attention of congress from the out side is supported, and generally opposed, too, by the circulation among the mem ben of pamphlets and various docu- mqpts. These are left with the door keeper to be placed on the desks of the members. If they are merely left with the request that they be distributed th&y do nbt appear on the desks. If the in terested party comes back and leaves a considerable fee for the pages ho will find the desks piled up with his circulars the next morning.—Washington Star. Tbs Human Eye, Science gives us interesting details about what the human eye has been and what it may become. Tho Vcndas of India, which aro the most ancient writ ten documents, attest that at times most remote, but still recorded iu history, only two colors were known—black and red. A, very long time elapsed before the eye could perceive tho color yellow, and a still longer time before green could be distinguished; and it is remarkable that in tho most ancient language tho term which designated yellow insensibly passed to the signification of green. The Greeks had, according to tho generally received opinion, the perception of colors very highly developed, and yet authors •of a more recent date assure us that iu the time of Alexander the Greet the Greek' painters knew but four colors, viz.: white, black, red and yellow. The words to designate blue and violet were wanting to .the Greeks in tlio most ancient times of their history, they call ing theao colors gray and block. It to thus the colors in the rainbow were only distinguished gradually, and the great Aristotle only knew four of them. It to a well known fact that when tho colors of the prism are photographed there re mains outside the limit of. tho blue and violet in tho.epcctram a distinct impres sion which oar eyes do not recognize as a color. Physiologists tell us that it to' reasonable to suppose that as tho color organ becomes more highly developed, and even before the human eye becomes perfect, this outside band will evolve into a color perfectly discernible,—Phila delphia Record. \ Papain and Thallin in Cues.. The anonymous correspondent of The Lancet, whoee suggestion of tho com bined used of papain and thallin in can cer was noticed in a recent number of The London Medical Recorder, turns out to be Dr. J. Mortimer Granville. He has since supplemented hi. first statement by further communication, in which he says that if the solvent or digestive power of the papain is to bo brought to bear oq th<\ morbid growth it must not be ex hausted by being first mixed with food. He therefore recommends very frequent administration of tho papain and thallin, and their combination in the form of pills The aim to to get absorption of th« drug, not local action on the stomach. Iu cancer of that organ Dr. Mortimer Granville gives, besides the pills, papain suspended in water with thallin and an cant nu p moats lathe complaint of thousands Buffering from Asthma, Consumption, Coughs, etc. Did you ever try Dr Acker's Eng lish Remedy?

With the view of further preventing exhaustion of the papain he directs that the patient shall bo fed as exclusively os possible on a vegetable diet, and that tho pills shall be taken before meals or in the interval between them. He has not found that the thallin gived qa described exerts any injuriously depressing effect on the organism aa a whole. The vital ity of the morbid growth seems to be depressed by saturation with tho thallin and. papain locally; this is effected by applying a strong paste of two drugs in combination, or, where practicable, by their Inunction. The results obtained BO far are said to be encouraging, and “make it clear that the method will de serve a full and fair trial by the profes sion."—London Medical Recorder. Moon Myths- In southern teas sailors warn intrepid "tend lubbers," who persist In sleeping in open air, to always woo the dreamy god under an awning; otherwise what might have been a refreshing sleep may terminate in temporary loss of sight. 1 say“tomporary” for tho reason that it has never turned oat to be a permanent calamity, although it frequently causes much trouble, and gives the victim a scare he remembers the remainder of his life. In regard to the way the moon affects tho weather-many curious facts are recorded. It is an old aaying that “one Saturday moan change is enough for seven years." Tho nearer the time of tho moon's change to midnight, says an old saw, the fairer will the weather to the seven days following. The nearer to midday the phases of the moon happen the more fool the weather may be expected. The space for these calculations, according to the “weather wise," is two boors before and two boors after midnight and noon.

An imunial offer —the one that’* made by the propri etors of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. Unusual, but made in good faitn. It’s a reward of $500 for an incura ble case of Catarrh. If you have one, the money’s for you. But you can’t know whether you have one, rill you’ve tried Dr. Sage’s Remedy. What’s .incurable by any other means, yields to that. By its mild, soothing, cleansing and healing properties, it cures the worst'eases, no matter of how long standing. That’S the reason the money can bo offered. There’s a risk about it, to be sure. 'But it’s so email that the proprietors are willing to take it. The symptoms of catarrh are, headaehe, obstruction of nose, dis charges falling into throat, some times profuse, watery, and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody, pntrid and offen sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears, deafness; offensive breath; smell and taste impaired, and general debility. Only a few of these symptoms likely to be present at once. • SAM ROUTE. Local and Through Schedule iu Effeot April 10, 1891. -Read Down. No. ft. Mixed. Dolly Ex.
