iWids comment was made by the news-

papers of the country at large when, a day or two prior to the Chiistmaa recess. Representatives. John Sharp Williams and David A. DeArmoad came to blows. In flat, the fllllion for this procedure was sst “"§$l\uiitativas Lyon and Gris- wo|l,__ annont and Connecticut, res-

in ' __ , on January 30, 1798, when the ormga was iinmcrcifully beaten ever the hasd 'with s mae in the hands of the lat- tar after Lyon had spat, in Griswold‘s hos. Ili 1860 Senator Charles Sumner was

8 rscipient of a tremendous flogging at

hands of Repiesentative Prescott S.

_ ka, of South Carolina. This encounter orsateda furore in the House, and is al- ways ievived following any iinpleassntneas in that body. Another instance of where Q Southemer and a Northemer clashed was the encounter between Galusha A. Grow, of Pennslyvania, and Congressman Koitt, of South Carolina. In this fight savenl other membeis became involved, and a ins iight ensued. Mr. Keitt after- wards apologised on the floor of the House and the incident was closed, after Hr. hadrefiised to consider a. chai- lange to s duel sent by Mr. Keitt. Sen- atop Illyils and Vorhees cast parlia- mentary rules to the winds on May 1, 138, when the lie was passed and blows f owed., This set-to is jokingly referred to by those who witnessed it as a “dog- fi%t’ pure and simple.

nple Joe Carillon, the present Speaker

of the House, on August 27 indulged in vary strong language in the course of an rgii|nant_ with William McAdoo, of New danny. Again sides were taken by those who witnessed the "go" and the result was that Mr. Beckwith, of New Jersey,

Another instance of where that old saw,

“It is an ill wind that does not blow somebody good,” proves true. A glance at the columns of the newspapers of the ilfflfe cities; whether they be in the North, 1'-author South or _West,_ shows a most Bvrvrialas activity in realty circles and trading in this line is not only active but "\ Brest voliunn. As difficult as it may prove for the more skeptical to accept this statement without the proverbial grain of salt, it is nevertheless true. Building ma- tenals of ev_ery_ description have been at almost prohibitive prices for s year or more, and this more than anything elu has checked operations of great magni- tude or quantity. There has been a marki- cd decrease in the prices of these lines of late, and this may in a measure account for the big transactions now scheduled. Architects all over the count ie rt husi

To aprofessioual man the den is sl-

mcst a necessity. Here he may keep a portion, if not all, of his books, his desk, and, if neceimiry, a safe. This latter should he accommodated outside of the room, with the safe door only swinging into the den. By all means doors should be ar- ranged so that the den can be closed up, thus keeping sounds and smoke from other parts of the house.

ruly serve we must. pay the fare.

Life always costs.

To understand this principle more

fully we need only to consider how it applies to both sides 'of human ex- perience. In n‘life of sin and u life of rightousness the same law holds good.

Though the trnnsgressor may be

unconscious of it at the time every wrong act costs him dearly, Bin is iawlestness. Every law of God in nature or morals has been framed in Hence none of God‘s commands are

eternal loss of power more precious than rabies. It means wasted energy and the lessening of cne's capacity
