It Is reported from Washington that,

Tho house, Monday, instructed the clerk
to procure, hetcaftcr, Iho printing of fifty
cxtrn conies ol all public homo bills tha
is, of three hundred anil ilfty inolcal ol
three hundred copies as heretofore We
can conceive of no possible objection to
tho piloting cf this number of bills, but
thcro is ono thing conceded with tho pas
sago of the rctolntion to which wo desire to
call attention, 03 it illustrates how tho state
expenses may be, are, increased. The
jt Int resolution providing for a free lido to
visit the IUform eclmol was pats:d, n few
days ego, without dbcusslon, tnd an ex

currcd. It la ccncciietl that the rctolulion
could not have hem raised if it had not
been rushed through without consideration,
In this instnnco wo haui n lcolutlou, in

Hon of parliamentary law, a quorum is al

of that body. Ii this a safe, a prudent

just as the sun was sinking below tho wa

A HARROW ESCAPE FROM A WATEHY

Two Little Children Drift Across Lako Austin
In a Row Boat Buring a High Wind,
On Wednesday of latt week two children
Willlo Hyde, a littlo boy eight years of age,
son of E. W. Hydo of Poultcey, and his
conslu Alllo Barker, ft littlo girl nine yoan
old, wero over near Lako Austin chestnut-
ing. After gathering nuts nwhllo they
went down to tho water n edgo and got into
bent that was drawn up on tho shoro
with one end In tho water. Thoy were
playing in tlio boat and shucking their
chestnuts, when, beforo they wero aware,
they heard tho boat grating upon tho sand
nud they were afloat upon tho water before
they had time to jump out on land. Thcro
wero no oars in the boat, nothing but u
stick, with which tho littlo boy turned tho
boat around two or three times, but was
unablo to paddlo It against tho wind to tho
iliore. They screamed to somo largo Iiojb
they saw further down the shore for help,
but their screams were not heard, and they
saw themselves drifting further from tho
thorc. Thero was a high, northwesterly
wind at tho time and tha white-caps rolled.
Tho children wero terribly frightened and
the littlo girl was determined to jump from
tho boat, but Ibcboy would not let her ; he
said ho could not tec the bottom then, al
though not far from tho shore, and
he knew sho would bo drowned. The ac
tion of tho wlud nnd waves drove them
about and they drifted quite rapidly out
into Hie lake. They gavo up screaming for
help when they found their cries wero un
heard. They said they covered their faces
with their hands and cried and prayed to
God to save Ihcm. Their feelings can bet
tcr Lo Imagined than dcscrlbtd, as they
were tesred here nnd there with tho waves,
expecting every moment to go to tho bot
tom, but tbey had tl.o pretenco of mind to
sit vcty still and float ns tbo waves carried
them ; adult persons could havo done no
better. Aathc bent scared Cone's Point
the little boy again took tho tllck and tried
to paddlo ashore and it was almo6t a mir
acle that tho boat was not upset. In their
efforts to reach tho shoro tho wind took
them farther sottlheast and they wero at
last washed asholo at what ii called Cas
tle's Landing. They had no doubt
dilfted more than Ihrco miles end had been
out on tup water r-evernl hours. Thoy
went to Mr. u. a house nnd asked him to
bring them across but he told them tho lake
was too rougti anti 110 cnei not want to row
tbcm over against tho wind. They then
went farther down the shoro where they
saw n usning uoat near tnc Bnoro ironing.
Tho little boy waved his cap and by shout

tlemau in tho fishing boat a Mr. Toft from
Weston who kindly volunteered to lako
them over, lie rowed them up as
far as Couo'fl Point and landed them there.

not much used to manacing a boat ocalnst

their trienels camo lor them, lbc parents
of tho children will ever be grnteful to him
for his klndnccs In aiding them on their
way home. Meanwhilo Dwight Barker, n

The Metric System.
Two gold prizss ot $20 end 30 were of
fered lo tlio school children of tho S'a'e,
while ago, t.ir the two best metric prlcei
current of arliclcs of farm prodnco usually
sold in Ycrmont markets ; but comparative
ly little attention was pail to it, and
somo quarters it never reached tho know-
ledgo of tho school children at all. It
now suggested-that tho town superintend
