A Congress is officially known by i
Its number ; the present is the fifty- '
seventh. It is becoming a common '
practice to designate them as the "first ;
Crisp , " the "third Reed. " O the "sec
ond Ilendersou , " which would be the
every-day designation of this one. Oc
casionally a Congress is nicknamed for
some distinguishing accomplishment , .
'
or by some fault alleged against it by
the opposition , as the "Billion-Dollar '
Congress" of twelve years ago. The '
practice of nicknaming a legislative
body has many examples in early En
glish parliamentary history. The list
Includes the "Lack-Learning" Parlia
ment , the "Long. " which became the
"Bump , " and was followed by "Bare-
bones' " Parliament among others.
Alfred Mosely , a wwilihy English-
man , who has spent some time in this j \
country , says American boys are j j
brighter than English boys and Pug- j ]
gests that a commission be appointed j {
to come over to .thiscountry .and look j
Into the training and education that
American boys receive. Mr. Mosely
doubtless speaks of the American boy I
tn. the mass. There are exceptions. As i
a rule , however , the American boy is j
the brightest boy on earth. He comes
by it naturally. He can't help it. He j <
was bora so. And then in addition to j *
heredity his environment makes him I (
ambitious. He wants to got on in the ' *
world. The English boy Is born to I 1
"place. " If of the lower classes he °
must tip his hat fo his superiors. It c
he doesn't actually tip his hat. as was T
the custom of former times , especially
In the agricultural districts , he Jives
In an atmosphere of servility. If the
English boy is born to aristocracy he i t
is educated to hol.i his place in .society c
and it his amb'tiou
consumes in donig j u
so. The difference between the En- : j v
Hsh and tlie American boy is to be
found in the difference between the
English society and that of America.
Equality working through generations
has made the American boy what he Is.

These questions are answered by RPI
Charles L. Kloss , pastor of a Congregi
tlonal Church In Webster Groves , Mi
Cupid has not been attending to bus
nesa in Webster Groves. Out of CO
members of Rev. Mr. Kloss' congregi
tlon tbeer were only a dozen marriage
solemnized last year. Rev. Mr. Klos
is disposed to blame the women fo
the prevailing dullness in nuptial al
fairs. If It had been the custom fo
women to propose such a condition q
affairs could not have existed. At leas
-a hundred of the women of the cburc !
would have closed some sort of a raai
rimonlal bargain during the year. I
women are to become "men's economi
equals" they should do the proposin ;
themselves , says Rev. Mr. Kloss. II
argues that inasmuch as women now
adays do not let men propose until thej
are ready there is no reason why the ;
should not have and exercise the sann
right of proposing as men. The argu
ment of Rev. Mr. Kloss Is sound. Tin
timidity of man has filled the work
with spinsters. He is not only timic
but engrossed In the strenuous struggli
for wealth. If a woman conceives i
liking for him and dosire to take hin
for her lawful husband she should no
be restrained by the foolish customs ol
the past from putting a propositioi
looking to a matrimonial compact it
such shape that it may be favorably
considered.
This is an age of stupendous engi
neering works. An end seems to have
come tu the construction of great
trunk lines of railway upon the better
known continents. America. Europe
and Asia have been spanned : but the
"Cape to Cairo" railway is projected
for Africa , and the "Pan-American"
line for Central and South America.
Meanwhile enterprises of startling
magnitude are in progress or are
planned for opening lines of commu
nication by digging through the sur
face of the earth , or by tunneling be
neath the surface. The great Man
chester ship-canal , the German gov-
irnmeut canal between the North Sea
ind the Baltic , and the Chicago drain-
ge canal are finished. Two tunnels
ilready pierce the Alps , and a third
vlll soon be opened. The rapid transit
: unnei through New York City from
; nd to end is under rapid construction.
Due Isthmian canal awaits the action
> f Congress , which is sure to be fa-
orable. and In a few years an artl-
icial waterway will separate the con-
inents of North and South America.
Che latest scheme , brilliant in coiicep-
lon and almost unexampled in the dif-
icu ties to be encountered , is the con-
truciiou of a double railroad tunnel

S Sandwiches.
These are not to be made by a recipe
which once appeared for them : "Boil
fresh eggs five minutes ; peel ; take a lit
tle white off from each end ; cut the
rest in four slices , and put between
bread and butter. " That compound
would be but little better than the egg
in its natural state. Hard-boiled eggs ,
for any purpose , should be cooked in
water just below the boiling point not
less than twenty minutes ; then the
rolk , instead of being tough , will be soft
and mealy. To make sandwiches , use
eggs thus boiled ; chop flue ; add a tea-
spoonful of butter for each egg , and salt
and pepper to season ; mix well to
gether. The butter In the mixture holds
it together when cold. Spread on slices
of butetred bread , and put them to-
rether. A little chopped ham may be
.uixed with the egg fur a variety.
Cheese Calces.
Put a pint of milk on to boll , beat
four eggs light and stir into the milk ;
when it is a thick curd remove from
the lire and when cool mash it very
fine ; add to it four ounces of bread
crumbs. Beat to a cream half a pound
of butter and half a pound of sugar.
add the curds and bread : beat four
eggs until very thick and light and
puur them into this mixture ; then add
gradually one table-spoonful of sherry
and one of brandy and one of rose wa
ter and a teaspoonful of cinnamon.
and lastly a quarter of a pound of cur
rants well washed. Line either pie
plates or shallow cake pans with pull'
paste , pour in the mixture and bake in
a quick oven. They should be served

those whom they do not wish to ask

fatal mistake , which no woman who
wishes to be considered popular should
ever commit She should make the din

dancers , and If she wishes to include
every one she should give a second or
third dinner dance. If not , she should
never try to patch up wounded feelings

a complimentary one. There is a very
plain rule to observe in such cases.

How Women Should Stand.
Women who have formed the habit
of standing in a bent back-burdened at
titude exaggerate this bad position of
the body when they walk especially
if there is a sense of "hurry" in the
brain. Cannot every woman who reads
these lines call up the mental picture
of some neighbor hurrying in a sort
of dog-trot gait , about her work with
a body bent forward nearly one-third
from the upright , the head and shoul
ders being quite in advance of the rest
of the body , as if tLe legs could nut ,
or would not , go fast enough for the
impatient brain and body ? This is
the "haste that makes waste. " Such
a position means stralnng und enfee
bling the poor back , and it means in
terference with breathing , circulation
and digestion. It is courting heaviness
of movement , heaviness 01'spirit , and
oldness of body. It announces that
the woman Is not master of her work ;
rather her work masters and drives
her. Now , vve all must acknowledge
that this is wrong.
A woman uith much depending upon
her should , first of all , be able wisely
to direct her body in her work , and.
second , not to let her work o\vu her ,
aowever much it may be in quantity ,
rt'hen one is well-poised , free and buoy-
int in bodily movement , one can walk
apidly. or even run. while doing one's
ivork and suffer none of the exhaust-
ve effects that always attend the
spirit of hurry. An Arab proverb well
) uts it that "Hurry is the devil. " Shall
ve not keep ourselves secure and free
rom his malign influence ? Martha

True Sympathy with Children.
There are many conscientious fathers
Lnd mothers who make themselves and
heir children miserable by taking
outhful foibles too seriously. It is an
unate propensity of a child possessed
f average good health and spirit to
iiake older people laugh with him ; not
it him , but at the things that seem
imusing to his own sense. And the
uother who has the blithe and ready
itimor to enter into his fun becomes
lis most fascinating companion. He
leeds her rebukes and bends to her
jorrection without ill feeling , where
iternnesswould arouse his pride and ,
re , for he Is assured that she is ready !
o share nil his innocent pranks , and
hat her disapproval has no foundation '
u impatience or injustice. And when
he day arrives that "childish things
ire put away. " and tlie grown men and
vomen look backward to their early
iome , with what a throb of pleasure
hey say , when things happen. "Moth-
> r would appreciate this ; she had the i
[ Uickest sense of humor of any woman ,
oa ever saw ! " And underneath these
iglit words is the thought. "How hap- :
iy that dear mother made me. and how j
love her ! " Florence Hull Winterj j

The Care of Palms. j
About all our palms require is that j
11 dust be kept off the foliage. This '
3 of the utmost importance , as palms
ositively refuse to do well otherwise. I
! ee that they have moisture supplied
3 the roots as needed , which in spring
nd summer should be about erery
ay. In fall and winter they
only moderate watering. They can t
grown from seed , but It Is alow wor
and it Is better to get those alread
started. Tlie scale Insect is their won
enemy. A wash of dilute alcohol wi
kill it , but must be washed off we
afterward. A wash of weak lye soa
Is the best preventive , but , like alcoho
must be well riH * d off at once. Go a
over the plant and leave no spot m
touched with the so.ip. Palms shoul
have a soil composed of good garde
soil , leaf and mold , rotted cow maiiur
and sand , one-half of garden soil an
the other half equal parts of the resi
The roots grow downward , consequent
ly they require a deep pot. Put In pot
just large enough to supply the'
wants , make the soil light and linn

When a Woman Lse.Powder ,
Most women i sy powder on thei
fri'--s ' nowadays ami it Is well that the ;
know the best way. It is hardly wort !
while to tro Into the matter of the pos
sible injury that powder may do thi
skin. .Much is said for and against It
Its advocates claim that It is better fo
the pores of the skin to be filled witl
clean white pow.ler than with the dus
of the streets.
The best met "jl of applying powdei
is by means of , - jb.sorbentotton. . Tin
cotton should h.dipj.fd -n the powdei
and dusted ovuthe face , covering ev
ery part. Then it should be rubbed
in thoroughly with the hand. Then the
face should be wiped off lightly with
a soft cloth. Powder should never be
permitted to remain on the face over
night. It should be washed off and
the skin massaged with cold cream. By
this method it Is claimed that the skin
is not injured. Pure powder is the
first requisite. Many of the expensive
powders are harmful. A pure vegeta
ble powder should be sought , or even
corustarch or rice powder. They cannot
harm the complexion.
Childrep Happy.
Our quiet hours with our children
should first of all be cheerful hours.
Sydney Smith has said : "If you make
children happy now , you make them
happy twenty years hence by the mem
ory of it. " I believe this to be quite
true. We should make the hours with
our children full of joy , then twenty
years from now we , too. can recall how
happy they were , how we heard their
merry voices and watched them play ,
and we can look with pride on our chil
dren whom we loved and who wei.t to
"Grown-up land. " Then , tpo. the quiet
hours with our children should be lov
ing hours. How much the small touch
es of a mother's love means to the
child ! Even If it Is only to whisper to
your son as he starts to school. ' Re
member. mother is thinking about you
all day and expecting you lo be a good
boy , " how much better the effect of
such a farewell than to hurry him
away with some sharp and nervous re
