WASHINGTON LETTER.
Freni our RtguHr Correspondent.
Wa HtNOTON Jan. 27, 1885.
The work of the we* k in Congress
has not been of particular interest.
The Senate has held secret sessions
on the pending treaty questions, and
has debited the Interstate com
merce and Indian bills. Both tnr
House and Senate have d'scus-ed the
Okalahoma land invnelon, an I it
both Houses a day was spent, tn fu
neral oratory the subjects being H n
ator Anthony, and Bepresontativt
Evins.deceased.
Representative Hurd made a strong
Speech In opposition to the Blah
educational bill, basing his urge
mi nt uh the ground that the Senat*
was usurping a constitutlcuni pre
rogative of the House when it origi
nated a money bill. A motion to
refer the bill to the Judiciary com
mittee was lost by a small vote. Tbit
is understood to Indicate that the
bill has more friends than enemies
in the H u.e, and will become a law.
The in uut of money, about SIOO.-
000 doO. ai t ropiiated by the bill if
not tits full measure of Its import
ano. Th*- greater part of the money
will go to the South, and will b*> po
tential in the intellectual habilita
tion of the darker part of that sec
tion. Under ** R publican admlnl*
tration the m ney would no Cuubt
have be n used, like tne Fee* tlman’i
Bureau, as a means of poiitloHl pro
peg in'l l, but in five w* ,-kx * R pub

provisions of the Mexican treaty, th*

In th” live weeks yet remaining of
the session there is ample time t*
perfect alitheapprdpriation bills and
to rot intelligently upon the other
meaaur.-s referred to, but a disposi
tion has been shown to prevent, th*
cor siiter ition ofnnv but appropria
tion bills, and a great ileal of the
time of the House Is being wasted in
dllat >ry motions and roll-calls
This may have serious results, I
the wheels of b giehub n are blocked
for any length of itne the rtppropria
tioo b*iln, it passed at all, will go
through in tne cloaiug hours of the
session and without proper consider

nesday. It is the intention of the
Oommit tee on R vers and Harbors to
ask the coosiderati >n of the river ami
harbor appropriation bill during th,
hitter pHit of the week. There Is a
disposition on the part of the friends
of various pron ioent measures now

de *vor to cell up the bill to carry Into

pension bid; Mr. Stockslaper, the
bi. is providing for public buildings

Mr. Willis, the educational bill at
every opportunity.
For the next two vests, at least, tbe
political *■: ti ul. xi n of the rest*

unchanged. The Bouse will b* Dem

been be case during the four Con

of 18’4 If the >,gelati n which the
country t eeds is t be adopted there
must be more of the statesman and
less of the mere politician at both
ends of the O pitol.
The Impression that the bill in
troduced bv Senator Edmunds 84-
urday to punish dynamiters was sub
srquem to the arrival f the new- of
the . xi.lesion in L moot, turns om
t" he -rr. tipous. The bid was intro
dimed before the Senate w nt f-"o
executive session, wjjj -h whs at 12:30
p. m. Ihe rep rt that aeti us *x
plosions had occurred in L ra n did
not to cn the Cipttol *ll fifteen
minute* later. 1 is a curious cir
cumstance that Senator Elmunde
should h v- in a manner n ieirated
the news of the crime committed In
the B 1 istt P*: In.m--nt House I y it „
troducing a bill in tbe Uui ed States
b n te to prevent ana punish of

THE ART OF OILING SHOES.
A Bootblx-h Telh. th® Herrrt - Wh) Ker
o*eu® Ull-Hwi-el® Ar® J-,UnUnl Blu®.
fChi*.®**** Newv.l
A one armed bootblack having taken
th*- contract to oil the shoeit ol a re
porter, a ter the preliminary brushing
ber'at* by ruobing the leather with i wut
cloth l*eu asked whal it wai tor he
explained; ' When 1 began tbir buai
tii-H**, ” said the operator, pausing atno
ment to cast an admiring glance at the
high, aristocratic arch of the newsgath
ei er s instep, “1 used to keep on rubbing
the oil into the leather until a man
told me to stop. 1 thought they’d
know when they had enough and 1
wanted to give satisfaction, borne of my
customers complained that the oil soaked
through their boot- ami saturated their
socks. 1 thought perhaps I bad bei-n
putting on too tuch oil. bu ! the same
fault was found in iwveral cases where i
had been more careful Finally an old
sh'H'maker whom i knew came along
ami 1 asked him what I ought to do to
save my trade. He told me never lo oil a
shoe until I had wet it hr-A 'J lie reason
was that the water wc lid penetrate the
leather and. remaining t lere. keep the oil
from soaking througlL Besides the water '
would soften the leatl er and o|*en it so
that the oil would no the leather more
good. My trade has pr tapered ever since.
i -1 was oiling a man up one day and he
; asked tbe same question you did. When
1 explained the reason ne sail that was
on the same principle as that of paint
ing kerosene oil barrels, 1 told him
1 thought they were painted blue
just to look nice. He sa;*l it was
to prevent the barrels from leak
Ing. During a long voyage or a long
Oiirney by rail sometimes half a barrel of
oil would leak th.ough the. pores of the
wood and evaporate. So some sharp fel
low liegan to study some way of prevent
ing suiilt loss. Hit first painted the barrel
blue on the outside and then tilled it with
water and allowed it to stand until it had
soaked up all it would. Then the oil
w*is put in. The water kept the oil from
soaking in the wood, and the paint on the
outside kept the water from coming out.
Lie got a patent on his discovery, anu now
ho sits in his office and draws his royalty
of 1 cent on every barrel made to hold ker
osene oil for shipment. He’s got a
mighty soft, thing on oil-barrels. ”
By this time the master of the art of
oiling, having rubbed a quart bottle of
neats footoil into the reporter s *ls gaih
ers, rested from his labors, ami gracefully
accepted the half dollar which was dropped
into his palm.
Brh kn hi Fnnciful Forms.
(Washington Star.)
Col. John Hay is building a mansion on
the corner of Sixteenth ami 11 streets.
The house when completed will be t* nota
blc one, as affording a tine illustration of
what can be done with brick in he way of
ornamentation. The architect lias drawn
designs for most of tbe brick which will
be used, and these have been made from the
designs. The bricks in the walls will be
fourteen inches long, instead of the ordin
ary length, nine inches. The arches and
ornamentation over the door will Ist coin
posed of bricks made according to special
designs Tbe pillars which are Intro
duced will be composed of rounded brick.
Large bricks, octagonal in shape, fun
shaped, ami of a variety of designs, will
be set in the walls, giving a richness and
variety which will be very e-ffective. The
side of the house on Sixteenth street will
be made especially rich in ornamental
work, yet nt the same time the effect will
l*e substantial and solid.
While some stone work will be used In
th- foundations, yet the real effectiveness*
in these par iculare will be secured by the
brickwork, and will demonstrate the lit
new* of the use of brick even in building
where solidity instead of lightm-ss is the
tiesign sought for.
Value and Cost ot l-'uod.
:Chicago Tribune.]
Professor W. O. Atwater, in a recent
meeting of agriculturists, pointed out that
“a very large part of the expenses of liv
ing is the cost of food, and yet little is gen
erally known of its real worth for sus
taiuing the body. A pound of beef and
a quart of milk each contains about the
same quantity of nutrients, yet they are
not of equal value practically because the
qualify of the nutrients is not alike. We
are all largely governed by las e. The
rii'li may be so guided, but the poor must
economize
"In beef we often pay so much for bone
ami gristle that tbe nutrients, partii-u
larly the protein, cost more than lliey are
worth. Protein, us found in lean meal,
eggs, beans and other albuminous foods,
is the most costly food-essential we buy.
It usually costs less in lish than in beef,
less in wheat Hour Ulan iu potatoes, ami
less iu vegetable than in animal foods.
Uur bodies require ileslLlortning food to
supply tile waste of the muscles, and fat
ami starch to keep us warm and to keep
the body supplied with iu necessary store
of fat

Lately hydraulic compressed rawhide
has Ixen favorably mentioned as material
for friction rolls and pulleys for skate
rolls and as facings for friction wheels.
There is no question of its advantage as a
material for small pinion gears where
much Strain comes on each tooth. If not
exposed lo continuous action of oil ani
mal oil especially—the wheels will tear a
deal of rough usnga One of the useful
qualities ot rawhide is its yielding to a
shock or sudden strain without breaking
and without giving a permanent backl ash
Steel ami the best Norway iron will break
under strains to which compressed raw
biale will only slightly and temporarily
vn ld. The t. oth ot rawhide blanks can
bo cut iu the goiir-e.utting engiue, as well
as those of irou or steel, ami can be more
readily turned in the lathes. If a lubri
cant is required iu the working clear
water is the best.
Chewing-Gum for Dy-uvopsto.
(Harper's Weekly,]
If anybody hits dyspepsia, and has tried
all sorts cur* s. and still suffers abomin
ably, he need not despair. A member of
the New York County Medical society
has declared that for all cases of dyspepsia
which come to him for treatment he re
commends- chewing-gum. Ihe Maine
lUMttermed, be says, chew spruce gum.
j and they never have dyspepsia We say
1 that dyspeptic persons in general need uot
yet despair, because probably tbe average
dvspeptic reader of this has not yet tried
chew ing gum.
(George Alfred Townsend.J
The spirituality of Ohio is from New
England; its solid contents probably from ■
th** middle states, ami its tone from Vir
ginia. A Virginian without tone is like a
piano without harp. The New England '
part of * 'fiio ts the most sincere and stir '
prising. Their sons run down less than I
other people s sons. The test generation 1
is much like tbe earliest. Thrift, steadi
ness. habits go to the bone and tell in the
purity, however hard, of the life. If I
were a great despot 1 would move all the
people of tne Western Reserve into Ken
tucky or Missouri. The fusion would be
something like the marriage of a pumpkin
aud a banjo—pie ami music.
