KEEPINC WARM. Various Queer Contrivances In Oriental Countries. A common error is that Orientals In¬ habit lands of eternal summer and dress the year through in flowing silks and wondrous mnsllns. Many of them do enjoy this kind of existence. Those for example, In southern China and on tho great plain of Hindustan, hut at least a hundred millions live In a ter¬ ritory as cold as this elty, nnd at least fifty millions in a land whose condl- tlons are similar to those of Canada. Centurles of civilization have taught them numberless expedients for seem- lng comfort and pleasure, in spit a of tho Know ami left which surround them in the winu-r season. Many of these are known and utilized by the wi-Ktern world, mt the most are unknown, or, laughThle eWe< “ frC!lk " or k oddiMe. ' Borlhl'rn t . . "cm!!,! known ns nocket Stoves ^Theso ilv.nX?..

I’olliill. The populist memhers who lose their seats are R. A. Slater and R. ]>. Wrenn. The fight was strong while it lasted. A number of speeches were made and a minority report in favor of the populist contestants was offered.

Mr. I elder’s Australian ballot hill was the speeial order for It) o’clock, but on motion of the author w as ear- tied over and set for Monday at the same hour. An interesting matter was then brought before the house by Mr. Branch, of Columbia, who moved to disagio* with the adverse report of tlie committee on his hill to prevent the making of gold contracts in this li,a<0 - A number of Democratic members votod for tho measuro hih! tho rt'sult " as Pb)se. The motion to disagree with the unfavorable report, however, was h>st, the vote being Iff to 45. Tho object of the bill was I'! declare gold contracts void, but to make them payable in any kind of money other than gold. The convict bill, which had for sev¬ eral days been crowded out by other business, entne up as the regular order at 11 o’clock. After a few speeches it was the con¬ sensus of opinion that no two mem¬ bers <if the house are agreed on any one point affecting a settlement of this perplexing question. As a matter of fact, there is one point upon which there is unanimity and it is that the houso ts hopelessly muddled. A catechism was finally decided on. Nix questions have been prepared,and, by beginning at the bottom,it is hoped to arrive at some idea of the general opuuou. those who have no opinions ave expected to receive impressions amine the legislative pupils. From the results thus obtained a committee of three will draft the measure which will relieve the painful embarrassment under which the house now labors. I ho following is th© list ot* question** prosoutod: “First - Do you favor tlu> continua- Don of , the present , lease system to as *!' f * d, ’"- T ‘‘“"vets under state super- . vision. “Second l)o you favor the pur¬ chase of a farm aud erection of build¬ ings to care for the juveniles, women and aged and iutirm convicts, and that the able-bodied convicts be hired U u-ed under state supervision m term's of not longer than five years? , , "Third—I)o you favor#central peni¬ tentiary for all the convicts, as recom¬ mended hy the principal keel er of the penitentiary? "Fourth—Do you favor state super¬ vision of the misdemeanor convicts, at the same time leaving the direct con- trol to the county authorities? “Fifth—Do you want a commission elected or appointed? “Sixth—Do you want a principal keeper elected or appointed?” During the session Speaker Jenkins grew very wroth at the way members left the hail during the transaction of important business, and intimated that lie would use force to have a ina- jority present if the occasion again demanded it. The senate lied just enough of ita members in the chamber Friday morn- ing w hen the roll was called to begin business. The first thing in order was the consideration of the bill of Senator Hopkins providing for election of judges and solicitors of the superior court. This bill was discussed at some length on Wednesday and was then made the special order for Friday * morning. Owing to the exceedingly light at- tendance Senator Hopkins moved to displace tho bill and make it the spe- ciol order for Wednesday, December J, Senator Rattle objected, but the motion was carried and tho bill went over. Henator Gray introduced a jointreso- lotion memoralizing congress to refund the cotton tax collected during tho war. The resolution was adopted. A few local bills were passed. |,j|| s received only 23 votes which was just a constitutional majority n ud had one vote been cast against them out of the 23 they would have lost.

There lurks an interesting story be- hin '* the, arrest of the character of J. T. Oibaon by Rev. C. 0. Carey in the North Georgia conference at Athens Friday. The charge against Rev. Gibson was that he had been imprudent with women. There was no however, and Rev. Gibson waa vindicated, the investigating eotn- mittee having reported a trial not nec- esaary. Gibson According to reports, Revs. a,ld t^rey have not been on the best of torms 1or a number of years, Rev. Carey, it is said, has been circulating 80rae reports about Rev. Gibson, which prompted Rev. Gibson to do- rnand an investigation at the present conference. The alleged indiscretion which Rev. GHison is accused of having commit- ted occurred in Rome three or four years ago ween lie was pastor of one of the Methodist churches of that city, D developed that the reports were ab- solutely false. Tbe ,,iatter iiaH been much talked about ever since, aud Rev. Carey, it is f ” ud > has been lar g fil y responsible for circulation of the reports. Rev. Gibson has been very much worried on thin account and finally determined that he would make Rev. Curey prove his statements, He then went to Rev. Carey, so it is said, and obtained a written statement Horn him to the effect ho had never circulated any such rumors. It is farther stated that Rev. Gibson has in his possession certain affidavits from responsible parties who swear Rev. Care y d ' ( l muko such statements to them concerning Rev. Gibson’s char- act «r- WILL MYERS A RAIN.

He yields *o V her supplication for something to relieve the pain. j He gives her a few morphine tablets, with very grave caution as to their use. Foolish woman ! She 1 thinks morphine will help her right along j she be¬ ) comes its slave 1 A wise and a generous physician had such a case ; he told his patient he could do nothing for her, as J she too to undergo an examination. In despair, she went to visit was nervous yourself just to the nearest a friend. She said to her, “Don’t give up; go druggist’s and buy a bottle of Mrs, Lydia E. Pinkham s \ egetable Compound. It will build you up. You will begin to feel better with the first bottle.’ She did so, and after the fifth bottle her health was re-established. Here is her own letter about it: hardly AjjlgShatjj fadh “ I was very miserable ; was so weak that I could g-et around the bouse, could not do any work without feel- ing tired out. My monthly periods had stopped and I was x so tired and nervous all of the time. I was troubled very 1 T much with falling of the womb Lydia and bearing-down Pinkham’s pains. Vege- A friend advised me to take E. V _J table Compound; I have taken five bottles, and think it is the best medicine I ever used. Now I can work, and feel Ip like myself. I used to be troubled greatly with iny head, but I have had no bad headaches or palpi- tation of the heart, womb trouble or bearing-down pains, since l commenced to take Mrs. Pinkhams Av jnedieine. I gladly recommend the Vegetable Corn- : v- pound to every suffering woman. Tho use of one bottle will what it can do.”—M rs. Lucy I’easley, Derby Center, Vt. PONIES OF ICELAND. PERFECT MARVELS OF ENDURANCE. They Have a Peculiar Pacing Cait Which Under Croat Weight Conquers Space- Can Swim Like a Fish and Climb Liko a Coat. if the camel is the ship of the desert, the Iceland pony is the cab, train, omnibus and tramcar of the wonderful country to which he belongs. To be- gin with( he is a misnomer. He is not ’ a pony in the ordinary sense of the wort; he Is a horse; in bone and 8inew> in strength and endurance, in manners and deportment-a horse in everything, in fact, except in inches; and a sober, steady, hard-working t ,„ r3 e. too. He is very “multum in parvo,” a "concentrated essence” of horseflesh. He can swim like a fish, climb liko a goat and jump like a deer. He sticks at nothing, and takes every variety of travel—bog, lava bed, sand, bowlders and grass mounds—with un¬ disturbed equanimity, If he has to ford one or two rivers with strong cur¬ rents flowing girth-deep, it is all in the day’s work. Only give him time and periodical halts for refreshment, and he will do his fifty miles per day, and thrive upon it. Iceland ponies are bred in hundreds in the large grass plains in the south¬ ern districts of the islands. Little or no care is taken in selection, So that half hands, though here and there one improved, the average pony standing from eleven and a half to twelve and a half hands, though here and there one- will reach to nearly thirteen hands. Every variety of color is seen, but skewbalds of many shades are the commonest. The chestnuts, as a rule. arc the finest, and the browns the hardiest. Beautiful cream colors, with light points, are not infrequent; black is very rare, and roan also. Their paces are fast, considering the size of the animal, a journey of thirty-two miles being often done in six hours or less, with, heavy baggage. They trot, canter and gallop, but the pace most esteemed by the natives is the amble or “skeid,” in which the fore and hind legs on a side are advanced simul¬ taneously, giving a running action, very smooth to the rider. A good “pacer” is considered very valuable, and often sold for a high figure. Some of these ponies amble so fast that they keep ahead of another going at a hand-gallop, and they maintain the pace for a day’s journey under a weight of eleven to fourteen stone. Ice- lanfl Ponies are steady and fast in har- ness, though wheels are a compara- tiveiy new departure in their country, The - V travel mostly in strings, often tied head and tall. Hay, baggage and househoM goods are thus transported, and building material also. You meet a timburlestur, or timber team, ot from eight to ten ponies, one carrying P'anks trailing on each side, another strips of iron, another bundles of tools; a number of Rpare aninlal s run- looso, and not infrequently a foal ° r tW °' It is as. rare to see a dead Iceland pony as a dead donkey though their skulls are often visible, half trodden into the miry ways surrounding the farms. The pony begins work at six or seven years—hard work, that is to say. He is early apprenticed to his trade by following his mother at her avocations, and when he is foot sore is strapped upon her back. He works well up to twenty years and over, and often remains fairly sound to a ripe old age. He feeds on the fat of the land in the summer, and in the winter, if his owner is poor, must live on his wits and his stored condition. Farm¬ ers who are fairly well off keep their animals in during the winter and feed them on hay; but, notwithstanding. many of the ponies have a hard time of it. The Icelanders.h owever, keep their steeds as well as their means al¬ low. and treat them altogether in a brotherly fashion. ^......... rcme.lic-.ina the - kill nP, 1 ... tors, all for no g—-I. until I got the Tettkkink.
