They manifest the most interest, finding some excitement tn the merest incident and devoting themselves, when. the session is unusually dull, to learning the names and faces af the members, The mem- bers all have their regular seats, which are numbered and can be easily placed by refer. ence to the diagram iu the Conyressional DI.

Some of the scenes In the gatierles are ¥ery picturesque, and those on the floor are not fess amusing. The large gallery directly, in front of the Speaker Is rally occupied almost exclusively by colored men. It is Proverblal that many of them go thers to keep warm and sleep away the day. — But others aro intensely interested In the proceedings, There are some who come regularly and take the most profound interest Inq ms of parila montary usage. STUDYING PARLIAMENTARY USAGES, ‘When a question of oraer is raised and @ par- Hamentary question is being argued a look of comical inquisitiveness will pass over thelr faces and they will bend forward eagerly to satch every word, repeating to themselves all the striking and high-sounding expressions. In this way they pick up scraps of parliamentary knowledge to burst upon a debating society, and astonish their not so well Informed as- Sociates. The old colored men with white hair, profound bearing and spectacles, are the most earnest of these paritamen tary students, and they become very important in_ their bearing and speech after listening to a long argument, Their greatest admiration and reverence Is called forth when Mr. Springer talks for half an hour ata question of order. To them the greatest men on the floor are Springer, Ham- mond, Townshend, Rodgers and MeMillan, ‘Three of these are sure to speak to every point of orde their technical expressions and subtle nts are sufficiently bewildering to capture these sages of the gallery. “Dey is right up on points ob ordah,” said one of the admirers of these parliymentarians, “Dey must ‘g’all b'longed to de gainé "bating s‘iety.

William Walter Phelps is a great fa- vorite with the ladies, particularly those who sit in the diplomatic gallery and the members’ gallery on the republican side. His cultival accent and proper pronunciation makes speeches very musical 1o their fefineu curs. Mr, Long, of Mass, is qnother fa- vorltg with the ladies, for the same reason. Mr. king, of La., comes in for a large share of admiration, and'is compared to an Apollo and. to the greal Bonaparte. Since he has become chairman of the foreign affairs commipice, Perry Belmont has become an object of interest, but he ty rather hard to find, and Is seldom if ever heard on the floor. A large number of people who are particularly interested in social selence ask to have J. J. O'Neil, the chairman of the labor committee, pointed out to them.

Patents Issued by the Government for Various Combinations, A TALK WITH A PATENT OFFICE OFFICIAI— HOW THE BOGUS BUTTER INDUSTRY STARTED —IITATIONS THAT COST AS MUCH AS PUKE BUTTER, ETC. “There have been about seventy-five patents issued by the U.S. government for artificial butter and combingtions calied butter,” re amarked a Pati office officia! to aSran re- porter. “The first patent was Issued in 1873 and the last patent was issued on the 19th of January, Between these two dates the appli- cations for pytents, as well as those issued, demonstrate that considerable attention hag been given to this subject, and that the natare of butter has been subjected to the analysis ot the chemist, but perhaps more frequently to the unscientific experiments of tne dairyman farmer. The first patent was issued toa¥rench. man, Hippolyte Mege, whose only idea was to make # butter that would keep, and would therefore be suitable for long dea voyages, This was 4 purely manufactured article, and it ereated a great seysation at that tme, as such @ thing as producing putter from anything else than milk had never before heen heard, But old Mege took animal oil and the animal tissues of Uje cow's udder and by a rather complicated chemical process produced an articie which was pronounced to be butter and fully as good asthe article made in the usual way, A man by the name of Paroffe about thé seme time made butier by a some- what similar process, and I believe that great deal of the butter was used.” “Is this butter still in the market?™ inquired ‘THE STAR reporter. “Now replied the offlelat; “Itke all original creations, it has been shoved aside for the later Inventious. The first and original oleomarga- rine is no longer in use. But thatis not because ithas been superceded by anything better, for, as { understand {told Meges’ butter was @ rime article. It, however, cost as much as the best dairy butter, and eet oe the manu- facture of butter since then has been to get a cheap article. The Americans naturally were the people to do this, and the pioneer was John Hobbs, who, in 1874, obtaiied a patent for making butier by mixing with good butter a certain proportion of the oily partof suet and miik. A’ substance was produced whieh was somewhat in the nature of cottage cheese, only on ucconnt of the butter mingled with {, It was. much richer. The proportion of butter was one- half to one-third, Seon the authority of the legislature and of the courts was invoked to stop the manufacture and. sule of this fmita- Uon buiter, but it was decided that the mate- rials used were uot injurious, that itsimply pro- ¥ided a cheaper grade of butter for the. ise of those unable to buy the pure article, and there- fore the anti-oleomargurine people were de- feuted nd the manufacture’ eonunued to lourjsh,”” INJUBIOUS PROCESSES, “There is much complaint about the poor quality of these manufactured butters,” ob- served the reporter, “And no doubt,” replied the official, “there f ample ground ior suci compiuints.” ‘Phere much that is injurious in the processes em- foyed 4m snaking and preparing butter for the market. For instance, the coloring substances are largely used, und a3 arule there are chemical reparations employed which are not desirable ina article of tood. But the coloring Is com- mon in the higher grades of butter as well os 1b the cheaper grudes, Very often injurious ‘sub- stunces are Introdueed in the manufacture of the patented butters. No patent, however, 19 issued when such substances are specitied. main feature of these patents is milk In some form, more commonly as rennet. This aration of milk is mixed with butter, thus making a combination which 1s cheaper than When pure butter is solely used, Very often extracts of animal | fals are , but when ly prepared are entirely dnobjectionable from & hygienic ptand- point. ” ‘The ‘inet of the matter If that these rf butters are so mush lik article, that It {8 diffteult vo disti e differehee, and { Imaging that the mijority, of People eat olecomurgarine under the in.presston hat they are eating butter made the mb ofthe cow, ‘There js no harm done except when the manufacture js dish but Vf ONeSt, ‘these days the adulteration carried to such an extent that it is tm eenibles even ith large puree, to evcape ually ic ieee ictns eiaeneoentstan ea we doin the ‘ore ea "aa vel and misfortunes betall tae ether which are likely to betall pe Gen.
