a Measure Is Transformed Into Law On a day set for the consideration of tho bill the house goes Into committee of the whole A chairman appointed by tho speaker presides The bill is read by sections nnd clauses after gen eral debate has closed and any mem ber may offer amendments All voting In committee Is by rising The yeas and nays are not taken When the bill has been gone through and all amendments have been voted upon the committee rises and the chairman reports the bill back to the house with the amendments The bouse then votes upon them either sin gly or in gioss and by yeas and nays If they are ordered to be taken The bill is then ordered to be en grossedthat is written out in a fair hand and just as it is after being amended and to be read a third time As it is usually already engrossed It is at once read the third time by title as before and passed The clerk takes the bill to the senate by which body It is referred to the finance committee In due time the committee if It sees Gt and not other wise reports the bill back to the sen ate with propositions to amend In the senate the bill Is considered as in committee of the whole the nnd ments of the finance committoi and other volunteer amendments are ac cepted or rejected they are again voted upon when the bill is reported to the senate from the committee of the whole and the bill is passed As the two houses are not agreed upon the bill a committee of confer ence usually consisting of three mem bers of each branch of congress is ap pointed The committee when it has come to an agreement reports to each house and the acceptance of the re port is the final stage of the bill in its passage The measure is now enrolled that is it is printed in large open type upon a parchment and is taken first to the houso where it is signed by tho speaker then to the senate where the vice president signs it and finally to the president and makes the bill a law Congress is notified that the Wll Iras boon approved and the original cony of the act is deposited in the depart ment of state Edwin Tarrisse m Har pers Weekly Full of Reminiscence At the different army stations in the west it is the practice for the officers on leaving their post for some distant station to sell off everything they do not care to keep In connection with this custom in Reminiscences of a Sol diers Wife Mrs Ellen Diddle tells an amusing story There was a very estimable woman living at the garrison a veritable Mrs Malaprop She told us of some jew elry she had lost and among the things was a topaz chain with a beau tiful pendulum The lady held an auction before she left after her husbands death and when some silver plated knives were put up for sale she rose and in a sob bing voice said Oh dear no I can not sell them They have been in dear Johns mouth too often Lasting Your suggestion said a depositor to the bank receiver offers very cold comfort It is a bachelors comfort that is to say no comfort at all What said a bachelor to a Bene dict only married a year and already so blue Ah but groaned the Benedict I never imagined that a wife would prove so expensive The bachelor patted the blue mar ried man on the back in a consolatory way Yes he said a wife is an expen sive article that is true But then you must remember that she lasts a very long time Aristocracy What subsists today by violence continues tomorrow by acquiescence and is perpetuated by tradition till at last the hoary abuse shakes the gray hairs of antiquity at us and gives itself out as the wisdom of ages Thus the clearest dictates of reason are made to yield to a long succession of follies And this is the foundation of the aristocratic system at the present day Its stronghold with all those not im mediately interested in it is the rev erence of antiquity Edward Everett Satan Terrified There is as great genius displayed in advertising as in the higher branches of literature No problem daunts the modern advertising man In the window of a little book store in Eighth avenue New York was re cently heaped a great pile of Bibles marked very low Never before were Bibles offered at such a bargain and above them all in big letters was the inscription Satan trembles when he sees Bibjes sold as low as these Well Grounded Is xuy son getting well grounded in the classics asked the anxious mil lionaire I would put it even stronger than that replied the private tutor I may say that he is actually stranded on them Chicago Itecord Herald Certainly Would City Man to villager Wouldnt It open your eyes if you were to look across at

Proverb Sacfacg w j WE SHORTEN OUR LIVES Human Beings Should LiVe at Least a Hundred Years Every man who dies before he la a hundred years old does so because Ua has neglected the laws of health 1 believe the time will come when men will commonly live to bo 150 years old But to do this they must be born right and be taught matters of health with their A B Cs A majority of the people of America lose about thirty years of life through hot understanding or not following the demand of nature for regular and ade quate exorcise Our systems of civili zation have worked a vast improve ment in production by training men to special lines of work Thus they becomo wonderfully proficient To see a man rattling up long columns of reading matter on a linotype machine is inspiring to hear a lawyer clearly and incisively summing up a case fills one witli admiration to read a strong forceful editorial affords pleasure at the thoughts so well expressed to watch the violinist and listen to the sweet melodies he draws from the strings wafts our souls to higher realms yet the apquirement of each and all these abilities has robbed the trained or talented performers of some thing else The linotype is wearing out his nerves in setting type at such a rapid pace the oratory of the law yer has been acquired at the expense of a dyspeptic stomach the man who wins us with his facile pen envies the strengtli of the sturdy laborer shovel ing in the street the virtuoso would fain have the appetite of the perform er on the big horn in the little street band In thus specializing each is apt to neglect the routine work for all the muscles that nature demands to keep up the physique Had each of these performers or geniuses done his stint of work on a farm raising the food he consumed he would have been less skilled In his vocation but possessed of vastly better health And all would live out not only their full seventy but a round hundred or more of years Charles II Cochrane in Metropolitan Magazine OUR FIRST PRESIDENT The Average American Knows Ver Little About Washington Born Feb 22 1732 died Dec 14 l 709 fought Indians- time and place a little vague Was he not with Brad dock Married a widow named Mar tha was commander all through our Revolution was our first president and had two terms wrote a farewell ad dress knew Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson crossed the Delaware at Trenton just before Christmas and sur prised the Hessians beat Cornwallis at Yorktown and was first in war first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen These are all public facts What does the reader know of Washington the man More than likely it will be as follows Cut down a cherry tree with a hatchet owned up to having done so saying Father I cannot tell a lie threw a stone very far across some river climbed up the side of the Natural bridge and cut his initials worked hard at school was steady was very good all the time and every body looked up to him of course very brave of course very wise and a great patriot was one of the greatest men in all history was tall strong wore those knee breeches of colonial days and a wig looked stern would prob ably lecture you and tell you to be vir tuous and you would be happy Such if I mistake not is the readers vision of Washington as a man cold austere unemotional without passions grand not merely greater than human sim plj not human at all a sort of marblo statue A figure to prize to be proud of as an American a figure to revere but not a character to love to be drawn to to feel any kinship with in a word immortal yet not living Everybodys Magazine The Preservation of Caste It is well known how carefully ap parently at least the Hindoos are to preserve their caste from contamina tion with anything of a lower order In towns where Hindoos and Mussul mans followers of Mohammed live side by side tho sellers of drinking water supply the liquid through little portholes one for each religion The drinker is thus supposed to be ignorant of the caste of the man who supplies the water and his own caste is conse quently unbroken From Hand to Mouth Til never speak to him again ex claimed the dark young woman ne called me his queen and asked if he might kiss my hand I said yes and and after that he kissed me on the lips without asking J suppose said the light young wo man he followed along the line of least resistance
