TUESDAY (TOMORROW: EVENING AT 8:15 0'CLOCK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 25 Cents | EXTRA SESSION COST LESS THAN $25,000 (Continued from first page). all its desk clerks $10 per day at the regular session. I have provided in no committee clerks, because the assistant secretaries of the senate and the assistant clerks of the house could act as committee clerks when the bodies were not in session; and committee meetings are generally held while the bodies are recessed. Very truly, Oscar Arenson, Chief Clerk of the House.” Peachey’s Figures High. Commenting on these figures The Herald says: ~ “Mr. Peachey’s figures are prob- ably too high. He has not figured, for instance, that while there are ~ thousands of bills to be printed at a regular session, there would be but a handful at an extra session. “Mr. Arneson’s figures, while no lower than they could .be made if the legislature wished to put them that low, are probably lower than the legislature would put them. Yet every economy he proposes is practi- cal. As ‘there would be but few bills, there would be need for less stenographers and committee clerks. Only three or four committees would be working, while in the regular session thirty or forty or more are working. The judiciary, railroad, tax and elections commitiees would be about the only ones likely to be busy at an extra session. As there would be only a few bills to enroll and engross, one clerk could easily do both these functions. $50,000 Was Too High “On the whole, therefore, it is clear that The Herald’s off = hand guess of $50,000 as the cost of an extra session was entirely too high, and that it would be easy to hold an extra session of thirty days for half that amount. ’ “And if $25,000 is invested in a session that increases the railroad gross earnings tax from 4 per cent to 5 per cent, the gain for the two years that will be lost forever if there is no extra session would be nearly $2,000,000. The investment would pay a dividend of 79 per cent. “Isn’t it worth while? If an in- dividual saw a chance to make such a profit wouldn’t he jump at it? And shouldn’t the state be as wise?” Two Ambitions. “My ambition is to earn $5.000 a year.” “My ambition is to earn more mon- ey than my wife can spend.” Ready to Do Her Part. Mother—May. that young:man of yours is too forward. He must be sat upon. er. I'll see that he is. A Scatch Marriage. By the act of 185G the parties sign in the presence of two witnesses a declaration that they take each other as husband and wife. They then pre- sent a petition to the sheriff asking him to certify that they bhave been warried and that one or both of them had their usnal residence in Scotland before the marringe or had resided there for twenty-one days preceding it. This petition may be presented within three montbs of the declara- tion constituting the marriage, but usually presented within three hour: The parties and witnesses attend be- fore the sheriff, and the witnesses con- firm on oath the statements of fact. The sheriff thereupon grants warrant to tne registrar to register the mar- riage. The registration can then be completed at once. The whole pro- cedure takes only an hour or two, and the cost is only a few shillings. On the eve of the new year and summer holidays there is a constant procession of newly married couples and their | witnesses before the sheriff in Gilas- | gow. The suitors are principally | drawn from the artisan classes and the classes below them, bt there is | usually a sprinkling of a better class. —London Spectator. Making His Mark. “One funny thing I bave learned | about human nature,” said a drug store cashier, “is the habit many peo- ple have of marking their name in the city directory. They do that because the directory is the only place where their name ever gets into print, and it Thas such a fascination for them that they can't resist calling attention to it. A funpy little old man who likes to talk tells me that he has made special trips to dlfferent parts of the city just to mark his name in the directories of | the neighborhood. He puts a little cross in red ink before it. I asked him-| sibly, although he is a teacher of lan- guages and may get a few calls on account of that queer advertisement. “But his is an exceptional case. " Not many persons spend time and money hunting up city directories, but every time they happen to see a new ‘one they ‘can’t help looking up their name and putting some kind of a mark|. around it.”—Philadelphia Ledger. When One Drills With Diamonds. A diamond bit for rock drilling is quite an expensive article, says Cas. sier’s Magaine. Its value, however. ~will undergo fluctuations, dependent upon the price of the diamonds. Per- haps $800 is a fair valwe for a bit. The diamond used is exceedingly hard —harder than those usually used as Jjewelry. Their carat .price is-consid- erable, averaging, say., $60 per carat. The diamonds used will weigh “from one to two carats,”.so:that: eight have a value ranging from $480 to $960 on the average. The loss of a bit means many diamonds gone and mmy lead to difficulty with the hole. The diamond is not tough, but brittle. It will withstand heavy pressure if | applied evenly and without shock. It can: readily be seen. that drilling through: seamy rock may become quite unfavorable. If there is much guartz May—Leave that to me, moth-{ present the abrasion may- become ex-| gndmrms, essive. \ Under . ordinary - however. iie wear on the diamonds. while considerable, is by no means [ -o- hibitive. Queensland Pearl Divers. The Queensland diver gets into his dress at duybreak, steps on-to the lad- der over the side and fastens the life line round him. The tender screws on the face glass, the pumps are started. and down goes the diver to look for shell. If he is on ground where shell is plentiful he fills his bag. then allows | his dress to fill with air, which brings him to the surface, when he is hauled to the boat by the life line. He emp- ties his -bag on to the deck and goes down for another bagful. Some of the divers occasionally work in twen- ty-five fathoms. The greatest danger with which the diver has to contend is paralysis, and, knowing the danger he runs, he sometimes demands £200 in advance, and this amount is some- times lost to the pearler through the zeal and daring of the diver.—London Globe. " -Evolution of Clothes. Centuries ago, as Sir Walter Scott says in;“Ivanhoe,” men wore one thick- ness of¢clothes, whether of wool, leath- er or velvet. The shirt was invented, but for a long time was worn only by | the nobility and gentry. Then follow- ed the waistcoat, breeches and later on trousers. The overcoat, which succeed- ed the medieval cloak, was rare until the seventeenth cenmry — Pittsburg Dispatch. Meteoric Matter. In the early days of its history the earth is believed to have grown rapid- ly by the addition of meteoric matter. It is still growing in the same manner, thougli scarcely to an appreciable ex- tent, for the mass of meteoric matter added yearly is reckoned to be only.| what good it did.

The uncle from the west took his little Boston nepbew on his knee. “‘Wadsworth,” he.said, “once there was a man"— “Then he still exists, Uncle Peter,” interrupted the little Boston boy. “No sentient, reasoning being within whom the vital spark has found a lodgment on this mortal plane ever ceases to be, albeit his activities may seek expression in another form. An- pihilation is abhorrent to the aesthetic sense. Matter may vanish from the sight, but the elements of which it is composed - are imperishable. - In like manner the intangible essence that constitutes the real man, the ego, sur- vives all changes and mutations, It is the indestructible, - sempiternal self, that persists through the ages. A lit- tle reflection, Uncle Peter, would con- vince you that the time worn phrase, ‘once there was a man,’ is a solecism.” Uncle Peter after a little reflection put the boy down from his knee and began to tallkc of something else.—Chi- cago Tribune. _— Love and a Ring. The story of one woman's prlde and devotion comes jput of a jeweler’s shop. A young man bought an engage- ment ring. Apparently he was an impecunious young man. At any rate, he ordered an imperfect diamond. In less than a week his fiancee called at the shop alone. “Is this a flawless diamond?” she asked. “I want an honest answer.” She got it. “I thought so,” said she. “Poor fel low! I don’t blame him. He did the best he could. I don’t care for myself, but I have friends who are good judges of diamonds, and it would nearly. kill me for them to find out that he gave me a cheap ring.: Will you take this stone out and seplace it with a first class diamond? ' ‘He will never know the difference. I will pay the bill.” The substitution was effected; and that young woman ‘is now proudly showing an engagement ring that for splendor cannot be outdone on the ‘whole west side.—New York Times. Stammering. Stammering is_due to a peculiarly nervous temperament, and only - very sympathetic - treatment can effect a cure. - Stammering in a child should receive immediate attention, and- the first thing to be done is to improve the little one’s health by means of plenty of sleep, fresh air and good food. Every day he should take deep breathing. exercises in. the open air. These deep, steady inspirations strengthen the muscles of the throat and counteract a spasmodic habit of breathing. Notice:should be taken of the sounds which the little stammerer has most: trouble with, and sentences containing th unds ‘should. be. composed for him to repeat each day— very slowly and elearly. He should also be asked ta read aloud every day. ‘This exercise should be omitted when- ever he seems overexcited or run down in health, and it goes without saying that he’should mever be scold- led.or langhed at.=New Yok Tribune. ‘The Popular Ten Spat.

A Heat Phenomenon. A workman in the observatory at Toulouse has invited attention to a singular phenomenon. A bar of iron is taken by one end and the other end is plunged into a fire, heating it high- Iy, but not so much that the hand can- not retain its hold. The heated end is then plunged into a pail of cold water. Immediately the other end-becomes so hot- that it is impossible to hold it This phenomenon, familiar to work- men, is aseribed by them to some re- pellent action they suppose the sud- den cold exerts upon the heat contain ed in the iron, which is thua driven to the opposite extremity. Management, “I don’t see, Ella, how you manage with your housekeeping money. If 1 glve you a lot you spend a lot, but if I don’t give you so much you seem to get along with it.” “Why, that’s perfectly simple, Ru- dolph. When you give me a lot I use it to pay the debts I get into whep you don'’t give me so much.” ‘Women on the Stage. ‘The earliest mention of actresses was in 1611, when Coryat in his “Cru- ditles” gave this description of a pro- duction at the Theater of Venice, Italy: “I saw women act, a thing I never saw before. They performed with as good a grace, action, gesture, as ever [ saw any masculine actor.” The Horizon. “How clear the horizon 1s!” remark- ed a young lady. “Yes,” agreed her humorous com- panion; “I've just swept it with my There is a restlessness in inactivity; we must find occupation for kings.- Landor. 5 The Cause of It. * “What's all this fuss about?" asked the policeman, stepping between the two young men.
