AVERAGE AGE IS ABOUT FORTY-SEVEN Lawyers Are Still in the Majority in the Lower House. THEIR OCCUPATIONS A new Congress Is an interesting study from many points of view. The nation al- ways has its eyes on the men who make its Jaws and their personalities are observed very closely. A great deal has been written of individual members, but a statistical lance at the lower house of Congress ag a whole aad by states may be worthy of some attention. The House of Representatives consists at present of members and four territorial delegates. Of these 243 members and four delegates are republicans. One hundred and five members are democrats, seven are pop- ulists and one silverite. ‘The oldest member is ex-Speaker Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania, the youngest Norman A. Mozley of Missouri. Mr. Grow is seventy-two years cf age. Mr. Mozley turn- ed the thirtieth mile stone of life on the 11th of the present month. The other con- gressional youngsters, who aro still in their thirtieth year are: George B, McClellan of New York, born November 23, 1565; Thos. Settle of North Carolina, born March 10, 1865, and John F. Fitzgerald of Massachu- setts, born February 11, 1865. Maine, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Utah are rypresented entirely by men born in the states themselves. The other states draw from their neighbors for one or more Repre- sentatives. New York ts the native state of the largest number of members of the Fifty-fourth Congre forty-two claiming birth there.

Four were born in England and four in Germany, three each in Irelar.d, Scotland and Ontario, two in New Brunswick and one each in Den- mark, Hungary, Saxony and the province of Quebec. The occupations in life of the various Representatives are varied. The people still continue to believe that lawyers are the best fitted for law makers, for 243 of that profession cre returned. Forty-one farmers have seats in the House, as have twenty- seven newspaper men.

There are sixty-seven of them, Penn- sylvania sending the largest number. The ex-confederates number thirty-nine, Georgia having the largest representation, seven.

It Identifies Colors and is a Very Use- ful Instrument. From the New York World. A unique and remarkably useful Ittle instrument has been devised in England. It is known as the tintometer, or “color measurer.”” Though it seems only a sclen- tifie toy, it is nevertheless an instrument of immense practical use. It is not generally known that the quality of nearly every substance, natural or manu- factured, can be determined by its color, if orly its color be ascertained precisely and unerringly. This is exactly what the tint- ometer accomplishes. Some scientist nas calculated that there are, approximately, ty million shades and tints of color. Un- der ordirary circumstances it fs impossible to distinguish, even roughly, shade from shade by the naked eye, or even by the use of the most powerful microscope. By the tintometer, though, exact distinction of tints becomes possible. This curious little instrument consists of a carefully graded series of colored glasses that are about the shape and size of smail microscope slides. These slips of glass are placed on a slide at the end of a double parailel-sided wooden tube, which has two eyepieces at the upper end. ‘All that is necessary is to exactly match in tint the uubstane whose quality is in question. This js done by putting a substance under one of the apertures of the double wooden tube and working the slips of glass at the end of the other, either singly or superimposing one upon the other until the tint of the slass is the same as that of the article to be gauged ‘The tintemeter fs thus able to match prac- tically every shade of color to be found in anything, and then the quality Is quite easy to ascertain by means of records. It is quite possible as well to detect any adulteration in any substance by the use of this instru- ment. In the case of flour the tintometer has been especially valuable, and it has been uscd with great effect also in a variety of other trades, = soe Ready for Her. From the Somerville Journal, Mrs. B.

A Bangor philosopher baited a rat trap in his back yard, and observed the results. First one rat scudded across the grass and took an observation. In another minute a dozen little rats came trooping along with the evident intention of sampling the cheese. Just then a lean, long, gray old rat, with his tail chopped off, probabiy from a previous experience with traps, appeared and chased all the little rats away. The old fellow kept watch all the afternoon, and effectually prevented a single rat, young or old, from entering the trap. Normandie, HANDS OF MEMBERS. ‘The New House of Repres: ives a Fighting Lot, Says a Chetrologist. From the New York Sun. The New Yorker who had been down to ‘Washington to take in the grand congres- sional opening in that town on the first Monday in December was making a* few remarks to a small group in the Hoffman Hovse. “I am not,” said he, “much of cheirolo- gist, but— “And what’s a cheirologist?” inquired a Wall street man whose poker record is such that he ought to know all about hands. “You ought to know,” smiled the talker, “but as you don’t seem to I will say for your benefit that a cheirologist is one who interprets character and instincts of men by the habitual actions of the hands and the natural positions into which they un- consciousiy place themselves when in a state of repose.” “Thanks; go on with your rat killing.” “Well, as I was saying, I'm not much of a cheirologist, but when I was down there at Washington watching the able representa- tives from all over this broad land of free- dom going through the ordeal of the oath of allegiance, or whatever they call it, I noticed their hands as they held them up to be sworn in. They came up in detach- ments before the Speaker, and he admin- istered the oath to each lot in a bunch. What first aftracted me was the open- handed way those statesmen had. Out of a group of a dozen in the first batch I didn’t see one, that I now recall, who didn’t have his fingers spread wide out, indicat- ing liberality and an inclination to let go. As that batch was from Alabama and Ar- kansas, the roll being called aiphabeti- cally, they beionged to the party which hadn't much to give up, and could afford to be liberal. As the roll went on I noted thumbs, always a strong feature, and | am free to confess that the Fifty-fourth Con- gress shows by its thumbs that it has ‘firm- ness in plenty. It was a rare thing to see a thumb that wasn’t sticking out as sassy as a snake’s head, and in the entire lot of members I ouly saw one that was turned clear in on the palm, indicating weakness and a disposition to be led around by the nose. Onefman held his hand so that the thumb and little finger touched, showing that his disposition to be a schemer was met by a weakness in carrying out his schemes. “Now and then all the fingers of a hand showed an inclination to fail into the palm of the hand, which I took to mean that the owners of such hands were waiting to see which way the cat jumped before they as- serted hemselves. Again there were hands with the fingers tightly held together, a sure sign that the possessors were secretive men, who would go about with the great affairs of state on their shoulders and the secrets of councils and caucuses in their bosoms, yet they would give no sign, and if they happened to forget themselves and in a burst of confidence say something to.a newspaper correspondent that might prove unwisely or untimely spoken, and looked different in print from its appearance in language, would hasten to deny the inter- view and denounce the correspondent. The assertiveness of some of those outspread fingers was more than hat; it was aggres- siveness, and I think the Fifty-fourth Con- gress is going to show & good deal of nerve in some of the things it does. Possibly some of those new members were thinking of Great Britain and Venezuela when they were swearing to be true to their country, but it showed only in their hands, not in their faces, because the hand tells a lot More than the face does. A _haif dozen hands were closed almost to fist size, but that is no sign of strength. It is weak- ness, rather, for the strong hand desn’t relax. As a rule the held-up hands were of the spatulate or active variety, the fin- gers being square at the end and stubby rather than long and slender. Now and then such a hand appeared, and the owner nearly always showed in his face and bear- ing that the hand fitted the character, and if he had his way he would prefer to sit at his desk reading or writing rather than be ever ready to jump up and have a scrap with whatever opponent might be on the floor. There were a few of the long and sloping hands which indicate the scholar or the recluse, and possibly one or two conic hands of the artist. They were the ex- ception, however, and a general show down of the hands of the Fifty-fourth Congress would indicate that it was ready for any kind of a fight that might be precip’ ed. This was further shown in the thumbs, which, while not only aggressively sassy in their protuberance, indicated by the long first phalanx that their owners when once they had reached a position were going to stick right there til the end came. Some of the palms of the hands, as well as I could see from my position in the gallery, were soft and rosy, with a well-developed thickness under the thumb, showing “con- clusively that if there were Juliets in the balcony those Congressmen on the floor would hustle around pretty lively for enone: rope to make a serviceable ladder of.” “How about T. Brackett Reed?” inquired the Wall street man. The chetrologist laughed. “It was funny to see him when he was sworn i he said. “The hand he held up was absolutely expressionless. It didn’t mean.anything, bui the one he didn’t hold— well, that was kind of behind him, and I'm shot if I know whether he had it on a gun in his hip pocket or hold of a club. — AN AERIAL RAILWAY Which Runs From a lage to a Mountain Top in the Isle of Man. From Cassel’s M: zine. Even into the Isle of Man, known to many by little more than Hall Caine’s pa- thetic stories, has electric railway con- struction penetrated, and a road now runs from the village Laxey almost to the sum- mit of Snaefell, the highest mountain in the island. The actual height ascended ts 1,820 feet in a total length of about four and three quarter miles, making an aver- age grade of about one in twelve. The line, which, by the way, is intendel solely for the convenience of tourists wishing to enjoy the natural beaut®s of the district, is laid out on what is known as the Fell system, with a central rail gripped by horizontal wheels in addition to the ordinary rails and wheels. The electric current is carried by an over- head wire and is taken off to the cars, not by the conventional trolley device, but by a frame work arrangement of the kind used on some of the German electric roads. On the steeper parts of the line the central rail is utilized for tractive purposes, as well as serving for the safety brakes through the whole length. The horizontal wheels on each car are worked by Separate motors The power station is located about two and three-quarter miles from Laxey, and at Laxey itself there is, besides, a large ac- cumulator station for absorbing the spare current generated by the dynamos and for distributing {t to the line as the load may require. The cars are thirty-five feet long, with seating capacity for about forty-eight pas- sengers, and each car is carried on two four-wheeled bogies. Each axle is driven by a motor. The main power station con- tains four Lancashire boilers, twenty-six feet long and seventy-eight inches in diameter, working at 1) pounds pres: with a capacity of 700 horse powel five compound horizontal engines, eac dependently driving a dynamo. = see Advertixing on the Stage. From the Chic: If the comedian is to tell a story he says: “This morning a friend invited me in to take a drink of — whisky,” &c., mention- ing some particular brand. Or he will say: ‘Yesterday, when I was out riding on my — wheel,” &c. What are the rates for stage advertising? This question was asked of a manager. He said that there were all sorts of rates. Sometimes an actor will boom a brand of champagne because he is a friend of the wine agent. A well-known faree comedian, who always mentioned a certain whisky and allowed an advertising sign to be hung on the stage in one scene, had the privilege of sending to the dealers for a case of the iiquor whenever he needed any. A variety actor, who gives some arti- cle a “mention” at every appearance dur- ing the season, will receive an overcoat or a suit of clothes as a friendly testimonial. In the case of traveling companies, the manager often enters into a money contract to give a “line” in every performance to some cigarette, beer, bicycle or patent med- icine. If the company is known to play to large business the manager may clear up $250 “on the side” from a few advertising “A Little Girl, Fascinated with the worders for p: aley Wor at GOULD'S WONDER STORE, No. Paper ( cts.), Tinsel (2' pack: id Paper, Tissue, Glass Balls, i Packages,” Cornucoplas, Masks, Beads, Sea Shelis, Berep Book Pictures, Paper Dolls, Japanese Dolls. del4-5t* 0 Record. - THE EVENING STAR has a Larger Circulation in the Homes of Washington than all the Other Papers . of the City Added Together, because it Stands Up Always for the Interests of ALL THE PEOPLE of WASHINGTON; does not Strive to Divide the Community into Classes, and Array one class Against the others; Contains the Latest and - Fullest Local and General News; and Surpasses all the Other Papers in the City in the Variety and Excellence of its Literary Features.
