4` iN A LIST OF REPRESENTATIVES
ELECT AND SENATORS.
411 Sorts of Names Found Among the
401 Chosen Statesmen of the Fiftieth
,congress—Something fon the Punster
to Look After.
The list of representatives elect and sena-
tors in t1te Fiftieth congress presents some
curious features. Ono member is Waite, an-
other Brown, while still another is Gray. The
greatest variety of temper and disposition is,
represented. Ono man is Gay, another
Bland, another Crisp, another Wise. One is
Long and one is Hale. There shoaled be 'no
danger of the Fiftieth ekingress starving, for
there are to bo found in it OaN and Rico and
Bacon, not to mention a big Cobb in the
house, a well developed Berry hi the senate,
and though there is so far but one Hogg
among the 401 statesmen chosen, the prospect
= of several others turning up later on is prom-
ising. To satisfy the Bibulous there 18, I ant
sorry to note, but one Glass and a little Peel;

8ntly wanting, thougloGlass and Peel could
possibly furnish both, If not, there is a But-

llauy trades are represented. Thero is a
Baker, p Fisher, a Weaver, a Cooper, a Ma-
gian, n Glover, a Hunter, a Miller, a Brewer,

. Ther o fro many "men,” too, among tho mem-
bers of tis conge s-Tillnian, Merriman,
Greenman; oothman, Herman, IIolntan,
Chipman, Sher an. The great trio of Jones,
' Brcwn and Itobiiliot is for once broken;
there are Joneses milli Browns, but not a
single Robinson was returik4 As an offset
to this, however, there aro is Smiths and
, one Thompson with a "p." Preside tial names

Other historic names found in the 1:.:; aro
Lee, Mason and Breckenridge. Maine sends

a Post and a Cannon, the irit:ter having made
sad havoc among the enemy in former con-
gresses, when touched off; Maryland a hush,
And Missouri and Kentucky a :stone melt,
both of them very unsatisfactory specimens
Indeed. Texas furnishes a utuu with the san-
guinary and suggestive name of Kilgore, but
as a token of peace accompanies hint with an
Abbott and a Hare. One member at least in
each house of the national legislature when
it next meets will be Plumb, though the horse•
goes the senate one better, as it were, and
produces one Fuller. There is a Lodge and a
Hall to be had in the next congress, as well as
a Lane with a Walker thrown in. The Seven-
teenth Pennsylvania district is represented by
a Scull, while the representative of the Four-
. teenth is Bound. The state,pf aidiesoutj• is
represented in the senate by a Cost. `'ie.
ginia has its Gaines in the next house (mostly
on the Republican side) and Wisconsin its
Price.
There is a certaiu suggestiveness -a serial

York delegation causes Bliss into the next
house along with a Flood, For many years
the letter Y has been uurepresenG.vl in con-
gress; this time it can boast of two names,
Yoder and Yost. Texas sends Coke of very
poor" quality. The "Mac's and the O's's aro
well represented, there being ten of the for-
tner and four of the latter. There is but ane
"Patrick" who has the courage to print his 1
name in full, and that is "Pat" Conine, Curi-
ous baptismal names abound; for instance,
Mau, Hilary, Aclonirani, ICnuto, Chernbusco,
l3eriah and Welty. Beside such picturesque
nvrnes the Johns and Williams, Georges and
Thomases shrink into utter insignificance,
Though they hold their own is point of num-
bers -by a large majority." --Washington

AN ILLINOIS WEATHER PROPHET
A Sign of Wind Tu-mu'rraj'w-Winter Cn
til July—The Sparrows.
A sniflliug, scrawny bearded old man stood
on the !Tont end of a west bound Madison
street car late Saturday afternoon. His only
oompanion was the driver.,
"We're goin' ter have wind to-morrer,"
said the old man, with a sniffle. "See how
red the sky is iu the west. . That's a sure sign
of wind, and plenty on it, too. It may come
afore midnight."
,The driver leaned ono arm on the brake
and turned rouud with a serious face.
`It's coming from the nor'west, too," he
said --with much gravity, as ho squinted his
owlish'eyes at the blazing horizon. "I've seen
those things afore now, and the wind allus
comes from that pint when the shy is red.
D'yo see that dust'sgo up spiral fashion over
therm by the curb! We 1, that's n Hither
sign. That's a sign that the wind is goiu' ter
blow cold, an' goin' ter blow fur two days or
more.
"I've seen a 'father sign, too," sniffled the
old man, taking a fresh chew of tobacco.
"Have you noticed the amount of waddin'
the sparrers are puttin' inter their nests this
yepri That's a sure indication that it's goin'
to be a cold spring. The last time I sewn
sparrers loggia' bed quilts and old tnuffler•s to
their nests there were only three seasons in
the year. It was winter until July, then
there were three months of spring, and then
it was winter again. All the 'garden truck
that was planted didn't come up until the fol-
lerin' year, when the fruit trees bore two
crops."
"That was„some time ago, wasn't it:” asked
Lhe driver, with a wise look,
"Yes, several years ago -nigh onto forty, I
reckon," replied the old man. '
"They there's been more winters than sum-
mers in this country, chi"
"No'p; 'bout fourteen years after that I
noticed that the sparrers built two nests in-
stead of one. These nests were jined together
by little avenoos of dried grass. The she
sparser would hatch a brood in one nest, and
then walk the avenoo to the other nest and go
ter batchin' again, while the he bird, would
tend ter the youngsters in the first nest. „The
season was so long that the sparrers hatched
from May to May, and that's the reason why
we've got so many sparrers ter -day" .
"Then -there was no winter that year?"
whisssered the driver,
"Not a flake," replied the old man. "People
died of summer complaint all that year."
When the driver reached the barn ho told
the starter that he guessed ho had better' lay
off tho rest of the day. There had been two
remarkable changes in the weather on his last
trip, Ito said, and he "as afraid that unless bo
went right Menlo be would come down with
something worse than.the smallpox. -Chicago

Writing a Circus Dill.
I saw 11. F. Tlamilton,'n noted circus agent,
concocting nstoitudilg announcements that
are to appear in flaming lines upon the bill
boards; when 'the circus season opens, and
fill the yoting American mired with delight-
ful anticipation, "Writing circus bills is al-
most -an mit,'' said Mi. Hamilton, as he
scribbled at the top of a sheet, "The
Greatest Chow on .Latch," He added: "The
alnouneement must please the public., satisfy
the proprietor, and he a drawing advertise-
neut. It must be exaggerated in its
anguage, but not verbose. Few words enn
bo used to describe a feature, but thoso must
- be corkers, so to speak. This exa/`geration,is
legitimate after n11, and I don't think it is
eery much abused. The American people are
used to it, and they discount it just about
right. A'nerchant advertises that.. he is sell-
ing out his stock at 50 per cent. below cost.
Nobody takes that literally. Jt is a legiti-
mate exaggeration that is discounted by
customers and simply means that the
merchant has cut his prices a little,,
