(From our Regular Correspondent. ) Democrats have every reason“ to. be : i perfectly sntisfied with the Congression- jal outlook. If the Republicans adopt ,| the policy: of introducing fake impeach” ment ‘resolutions for the purpose’ of abusing Democfatie officials, instead of doing something to'relieve the distress which they, had so much to say about during the last Congressional campaign there will certainly be a general reac- tion in favor of the Democratic party. And that reaction will be equally cer- tain to come if the Republicans do any tariff tinkering along the linés of the McKinley bill. Senator’ Hill has reintroduced his resolution for a cloture rule in the Sen- ate and has announced his intention to make a fight for it, and the large num- ber of new Senators—men who are not bound hand and foot by tradition— makes him believe he will succeed. Senator Gorman didn’t let the report that he would not be a candidate for re-election get well started before he called it down, He will be a candidate, and he is confident that he will be able to pull Maryland back into the Demo- cratic lines and be re-elected to the Senate. ,Setiator Cameton’s ' annduncement that he would retire from public life at the close of his present term was a case “must.” Quay had served notice on him that his place was wanted. Cam. éron has also stopped putting his good money into that Presidential tat-hole. The stories about the winning and {losing of votes between the ballots tak. ett by the Republican National Com: mittee to decide upon the city ‘whieh was to get the convention doubtless make good reading for those who do no know the tacts. ‘The only: oie of the competing ‘cities that never was in it was San Francisco, notwithstanding its standing second when the convention was knocked down to St. Louis—the Quay-Reed combine that’ the Pacific coast must be jollied by giving Sait Francisco a large vote, but not ‘atge enough tu carry the convention there. The convention was sold. . Theré i nd déubt about that, and either Chicago; Pittsburg or New York could have se- cured it by raising the bid of St, Louis. In fuat ‘some of thé gentleineh repre, senting Chicago were told after the first ballot, in hich Chicago” only hd eight. yores,. had been. taken, that "Chicago 4 | could have the convention if the price— 1} $100,000—was put up, The Chicago committee after a consultation re- "wea to. pay that much, and after three more ballots the convention was given .|to St. Louis simply: because it had, | paid more for it than any other city would vay.

It is a historical fact that the Knights Templars brought it|- back with them ‘to that country on their return from the second cru- sade. There is also good reason to | Delieve that the game was played in the monasteries of France in the sixteenth century. ae Its origin was probably ‘bowling, a variation of which was the old game of “‘gruund billiards.” From that it began to be played on a ta- ble, driving one ball through an ivory arch and then to a raised point, made also of ivory. This was the game for many years, each of the two players having a ball, the third ball not being introduced until just after the middle of the eight- eenth century, when what was known as the port and ring’’ also disappeared. In a Harleian manuscript in tho British museum is found the earliest historical reference to billiards. This is interesting enough to give in detail. In the year 1547 a commis- sion was appointed to make an in- ventory of the goods and chattels of Edward VI, and among the items found at his palace at ‘fhe More, Rickmansworth, was “one billet bourde covered with grene clothe.” This palace was confiscated by Hen. ry VIII, having originally belonged to Cardinal Wolsey, and there is lit- tle question but what that great his. torical character actually essayed the game himself, though no.record has come down as to whether. lic was as good a billiard player as he was a statesman. ' A few, but not many of the old writers refer to billiards, ‘Faery Queene” Spenser being one of them. Shakespeare in his ‘‘Antony and Cleopatra’’ makes that amorous queen, by an anachronism, play the game and also appreciate its fine points. Ben Jonson, Smollet, Bur. ton and Locke all made reference tc billiards in their Tr Tho game was slowly developed. The table was sometimes round. sumetimes square, oblony, oval aud even octagonal. Not until the be- ginning of this céntury did the bil- a liard table appear somewhere near its present form. Prior to 1810 india rubber cushions, the slate bed, the tapering cue with its tip and the rest had not been invented. The third ball was introduced by way of France in the middle of the eighteenth century, and the game was then known as ,the varambole. From this has been derived the word carom. Bartley & Carr, the proprie- tors of a fashionable billiard room in Bath, England, over half a cen- tury ago, invented the now well known side stroke—striking the ball low with a bevel topped cue—Carr devising billiard chalk, which he gave the name of the ‘‘magio twist- ing chalk.”’ He packed it in pill boxes and made a fortune by selling it to the fashionables of that day at half a crown (62 cents) a box. The cork tip was invented by Captain Mingaud, a Frenchman, who was im- prisoned early in the present cén- tury, but through a special dispen- sation was allowed the use of a bil. liard table in his apartment that he might while away the monotony of his prison life, While incarcerated | he studied out this improvement and had the satisfaction afterward of seeing it taken up all through England and. the continent,—Phila- delphia Press.

There is nothing in the world se serviceable as a pair of effective eyelashes. They make any kind of an eye pretty. If one’s orbs}. «| are not a pleasing color, all one has} todo .is to drop the curtains, look | down, not up; inward, notout. Let the eyelashes lie along the cheek, and if they are the right kind one looks charming. And the lovely part of it is, for those blessed, that they cannot be counterfeited. They are never false. If pou were not born with them, sighing for them is of nouse. Nor can art supply the leficiency.

Every fow and then some one starts up with an idea about making short, thin eyelashes grow to be the | : SUBSCRIPTION 25 Cents a.MONTH. THE EASTER desired kind, and every new scheme has its followers. . But it is all hope- lessly futile. A girl can—of course she doesn't—pad to help out short- comings in her form. She may bor- row other people’s hair, and she may layin a stock of complexion that will last her a year—that is, if she should want to do such things, but she can’t button or hook on that desirable silky fringe to the eye which would enhance her charms immeasurably. The latest theory on this subject launched is thatif the lashes are trimmed every two weeks for six weeks the rest)t will be a very thick etowth. But it is a deep laid plot of sme fortunate one to deprive her sisters of the little they have. One girl I know tried it. She took avery sharp pair of embroidery scissors and neatly trimmed the lashes of her left eye. Then she examined her work in the mirror and was very much surprised at the result. The left eye appeared much smaller than the right and the row of little black’ stubs felt very queer, to say nothing of how they looked. And the com- meuts it excited and the questions she had to answer! As bad as when a man gets his hair cut. “What is the matter with your .| eye?’’ some one would ask. ‘Looks as if you were going to have a sty.” It took a long time before that eye matched the other, and there was not the slightest difference as re- gards the growth after itdid come out. Clearly that i8 a, soheme Whigh deserves tobe eXposéd. It is always the way. A girl who |has everything has the eyelashes thrown in, and age may wither her, but they are Imperishable. A pretty little woman, “one who can give ‘‘butterfly kisses’’ beautifully, oom- plains that she cannot wear a veil with any comfort becanse ‘‘her eye- lashes get tangled in the meshes and annoy her dreadfully.” Poor thing! She has told the story to ev- ery one she knows, but none of: the girls sympathizes with her. Each one tried to make her own do the same thing. sites st sipnia ames. er on n ‘Some Hustibrs of ry Reportiig” in Mac. millan’s* is. ie following: T is a well authenticated story current Ina p in the reporters’ gallery of astrange freak ‘of a’ telegraph. clerk: in the transmission -of ‘the report ‘of a parliamentary speech by Mr. Fors- ter to a daily paper in Bradford. The subject of the speech was edu- cation. The word ‘children’ was fre- quently used, and, for. the sake of ‘brevity, the'clerk substituted ‘kids,’ trusting that the alteration would be corrected by the operator at the other end of the wire. The message, however, was not only written, but | printed just as it was. transmitted. Imagine the faces of the right hon- orable gentleman’s ‘constituents when they read the next morning: ‘You know. of Wordsworth’s pro- found saying, “The kid is father to the man.’’ I need not dwell'on the vital importance to the community of imparting a sound moral and se0- ular education to kids in ve ini- pressionable y ears.
