Guard American Statesmen.
Exceeding cans is taken by tho
membors of the Senate, to prevent
some crank from attempting to wipe,
that body out of existence ut ouu fell
swoop. The doorkeepers have special
Instructions on this point. F.vory per
son who enterB the public galleries Is
rlonely scrutlnl.ed. Visitors ran carry
no packages whatever, because It Is
feared thu bundles may contain bombs
or other Infernal machines which" could,
bo hurled with deadly effect into Uie
chamber.
During the recent null of visitor to
Washington the guards had lively ex-
-perlouces with the amateur photog
raphers. Kvery day-do.ens of tourists
were bnrred out because they had
their cameras with them. The guards
admit that the Senators have no ob
jection to having their pictures taken,
but they say there Is danger of some
dungerous missile, being concealed ,ln
the cameras, so they cannot take the
risk of permitting them In the galler
ies. As the guards refuse to be re
sponsible for paekngeB left with them
thu fears of the senators result In cut
ting down their audiences. During n
recent exciting and prolonged session
of tho Senate several young women
who did not wish to miss any of the
Interesting debate sent out for some
luncheon. The guard stopped tlie mes
senger on his return. He explained
that the package contained things
which wore dungerous only when ta
ken Internally, but the doorkeeper was
obdurate. Tho young women were
forced to give up their desirable seats
and eat their lunch in the corridor.
On nnothor occasion a well-known
congressman attempted to enter tho
Senate gallery with u suspicious-looking
bulge to his coat and ho was nuide
to show what be carried in bis pocket.
It was a bottle of Ink which he had
just purchased in tho Senate stationary-room.
Dramatic Oath-Taking.
At (i memorable gathering, attend
ed by Henry III., the prelates and bar
ons of Fugland, each bearing a lighted
taper, encircled the king while the
curse of heaven was Invoked by the
archbishop of Canterbury on those
who in future should in any respect
violate the two charters (tho Mugna
Chartn and the Charta de Forest a).
Hands were lifted in air and brows
bared, and "tho tapera were then ex
tinguished and thrown, stinking and
smoking, on the ground and the dire
malediction uttered that the souls of
every one who infringed the charters
'might thus be extinguished nnd stink
and smoke in hell,'" Weirdly Im
pressive In Its rude fervor, the epi
sode was made additionally striking
by the action of the King, who closed
tho ceremony by declaring these
words: "So may Cod help me. I will
inviolably observe all these things, as
1 am u man and a Christian, .1 knight
and a crowned and anointed king."
George Washington's Religion.
A 'New York Tribune correspondent
writing from Washington arrays all
tho historical evidence at hand nnd
concludes that tho first president was
not a communicant of any religious
body. A leading quotation, that from
Hobert Dale Owen, seems to convey
tho spirit of tho whole communica
tion: "When I spoke of Washington's
donthbed, 1 had the account of un
eyewitness lying before) mo. And moat
strongly does that corroborate my
opinion 'that Washington's religion
was of thu most liberal stump. No
plorgymun around his deathbed. No
protestations that In tho dying hour
religion afforded him aid. No praying.
No repeating of texts. No asking for
a Bible to read a chapter. Tho Father
of His Country died the death of a
patriot; ho died as ho bad lived, In
dignity n.id peace; but he left behind
him not one word to warrant the be
lief that ho was other than a sincere
Deist."
The Point at Issue,
A witness, who bud given bis evi
dence in such a way as to satisfy
everybody in court that ho was com
mitting perjury, being cautioned by
Justice , said at lust: "My lord,
you may believe me or not, but l
havo stated not a word that Is false,
for I havo been wedded to truth from
my Infancy."
"Yos, sir," Raid Justice ; "but
tho question Is how long havo you
beon a widower."
Electric Light Not Harmful.
A Russian specialist has decided
that, coutrary to tho general opinion,
electric light plays less havoc with
tho eyes than othor forms of artificial
light. He bases bis deductions on the
fact that dlseaso and damage to tho
eyo are proportioned to the froquoncy
of the closure of tho lids. He found
that tho lids close In a minute ti.8
times with caude light. 2.3 times with
gus light, 2.2 tlni'M with sun light and
1.8 times with electric light.

The Strand Magazine describes tho
steady nnd dlsantious eating away of
the const lino of Knglnnd by the en
croaching sea. and It Is stated that
the annual loss of area by coast ctos

less thun 2,000 acres.
On the other' band, marsh lands

reclaimed, but these areas arc Itujdg

PartB of the lost lands wore low-lying,
protected by dikes or levees,
which were eventually breu.cJi.t;d;otlj;

Many historical towns, such as Hav

When Martin Haddles went North,
with a grip full of poems, th" Janitors
