THE OHIOAQO EAQLE. " ALWAYS SHORT OP MONEY. Many Congre.smcti Find It Hard to Maka llolh End Mret. "Although a Congressman got about $i:uo a day In the way of sal ary," said nn old -t I mo House attache to a writer for the Washington Post, 1 'there are a great many men In tho lower branch of Congress who are al ways short of money. Quite a num ber spend their Income recklessly, but a great many have legitimate do mcstlc expenses that run so close to the amount of their salary that they have hard picking at times to get along, a A considerable number of members discount their salaries at the banks. They are charged some thing like 8 per cent and If the total of this account were made pub lie It would make a remarkble show fng. It Is by nn means the new or younger members who are oftencst short before salary day comes around. Many of the older members, who have sat In tho House for years, are In this predicament quite frequently. Many of them are men of Irreproach able habits, but with largo and ex penslre families to support, and with heavy political obligations at home forming a constant drain on their ex ch'-uor which they cannot get rid of. I learn fjiat there Is quite a lit tie lunexpendea balance remaining unclaimed of the appropriation to pay mileage for the extra session. This Is duo to tho fact that there art members so conscientious that they think they havo no moral right to touch that money and have never claimed It One of these is Bland and anothor Is Sayew, out thero are others, whoso names can only be ob tained from tho books of the Ser gcunt at-ctrnis. A number of these are men who actually need the monoy, but thev are too scrupulously honest to demand it, although Its expenditure was authorized by House and Senate.". BnlldlBjc Stone. The value of the microscope in de. termlning, in a scientific manner, the probable durability of bulldlnir stone, Is pronounced by a writer In Stone at having been abundantly proven, be coming, In fact, a practical factor of the most posltlvo usefulness. This is made evident when, on examining a section of the material by means of that Instrument, there are disclosed not only the various substances which enter Into its composition, but also the method according to which they are arranged, and by which they are attached to' ono another. For example, pyrites is considered to be tho enemy of the quaryman and con structor, since It decomposes with case, and stains and discolors the rock; In sharp, well defined crystals, pyrites sometimes decomposo with great dlmulty, and, if a crystal or grain of it Is imbedded in soft por ous, light colored sandstone, its pres ence will soon demonstrate itself by a black spot forming about it in the porous stono, the result being per manent disfigurement; or, if the same grain of pyrites be located in or near very hard, compact, non-absorbent stone, the constituent miner als of which are not rifted or cracked, this grain may decompose, and the products bo washed away, leaving the stone unfinished. Testing Nails. Elaborate experiments made under tho direction of tho United States Ordnance Department to test tho holding power of cut and wire nails respectively, shows a decided su periority for tho former, both in spruce and pine wood. Thus in spruce stock nine series of test, comprising nine sizes ot common nails, longest 6 Inches, shortest 1,, the cut nail showed in average superiority of 47.61 per cents: in the same wood six series of tests, comprising six Inches of light common nails, the longest A Inches and the 'shortest 1 1, tho cut nails showed an uverage superiority of 47.40 per cent; in IS series of tests, comprising IS sizes of finishing nails, longest 4 Inches and shortest 1, a superiority of 72. 22 per cent average was exhib ited of tho cut nails; In unotber six series of tests, comprising six series of box nails, longest 4 inches and shortest lj, tho cut nana showed an average superiority of 60.88 per cent: in four serlos of tests, comprising four sizes of floor nails, longest 4 Inches and shortest 2, an average superiority of 80.03 per cent was shown by the cut nails. In the 40 erles of tests, comprising 40 sizes of nails, longest 0 inches and shortest it, the cut nails showed an average superiority of (10.50. He Held the Heat for Her. Ho was oue of those men who da uot believe in giving up a seat in a public conveyance to a woman. He sat in a Sixth avenue "L" and held a newspaper before him. Four or five feet away stood a stout, florid, looking woman, who appeared to be paying unusual attention to the man. She looked and looked and looked. Still the man" kept oa reading his paper. By and by the woman succeeded moving up to blni. He still failed to see her. Then she resolved upoa action. John!" she exclaimed. He looked up. His eyes seemed to bulge out of their sockets. He rose very hastily and offered his seat. As she sank back into it with a sigh of relief she said 6everoly: 'John, how many times have I told you to give your seat up to a standing lady. " And what do you think he an swered? 'Er er er I I I h-held Wie the s-seat f-for y-you, my dearl" New York Recorder. Bulldlnir a Houae or Buttoaa.
