MEMBERS OF CONGRESS?
- \j
Xm Who Were Born In One Section
and Represent Another at
Washington.
There are few men in congress
who are natives of southern'
states, but who have moved north
and represent northern constit
uencies, says the Washington
Post. There is but one man who
is a native of a northern state i
who have been elected from the
south, and in this case he comes
from a border state. Very many
; men born in eastern states are
now representing western states.
| This is very natural, as the tide of
immigration has been from east
to west, and the west has been
peopled by the east.
It is a rare thing, however, to
find a man in congress from the !
east who was born in the west, j
But there are some. Fowler, of
New Jersey, and Greene, of Mas
sachusetts, are natives of Illinois.
Perkins, of New York, was born in
Wisconsin. Hearst, of New York,
is a native of California.
The men who were born in the
south and now represent northern
constituents are Senator Hawley,
of Connecticut, who was born in
North Carolina; Senator Cullom,
of Illinois, a native of Kentucky,
- 1- .1 A _ A _ 1_Cl_A
a uui uci oiaic, nuncvci j kjcuaiui
Newlands, of Nevada, a native of
Mississippi; Speaker Cannon, of
Illinois, and Representative Dix
on, of Montana, and Shober, of
New York, were born in North
Carolina; Representative Mar
i shall of North Dakota, is a native
of Missouri. West Virginia is
not always counted a southern
state, and the fact that her two
senators are Ohio born scarcely
makes the exception to the rule
that few northern men are sent
to congress from the south.
THE RIGHT WAY TO WALK.
Preservation of a Good Figure De
pends to Some Extent on This
—A New Theory.
A friend who leads a very active
life has a theory that the preser
vation of a good figure depepds to
some extent on the manner of
walking, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. Many people, she says,
as thev advance in vears allow
%>
themselves to walk heavily and
without elasticity, so that the
! whole weight rests on the lower
part of the limbs at every step,
I the only effect of exercise being
I weariness of the legs and feet. In
stead of this his body should be
held erect and poised so as to have
a perfect balance; in this way the
m,uscles are braced and strength
ened throughout, the lungs must
of necessity be well expanded, and
it seems quite reasonable to sup
pose that the tendency to increase
of weight may be checked. At all
events a lighter step and a brisker
! and more enjoyable manner of
| walking can be kept up, and that
| in itself is a very great gain.
Quite Komantlc.
A romantic incident connected
with the recent marriage of two
popular young people of Bridgton,
Me., has juftt come to light. It
seems that in the very beginning
of their courtship some six or
seven years ago, during one of the
young man’s visits to the home
of the young lady who finally be
came his wife, he chanced to take
from his pocket a $10 gold piece
which the young lady got into her
possession. He made a brief at
tempt to regain it, but gave it up
and in a joking way said: “Keep
it to pay the minister with.”
The years went by and the gold
en eagle was entirely forgotten by
the young man. On the day when
\ the marriage ceremony was to
; take place, which was the opening
of the present season, the bride-to
be produced the identical gold
piece and the minister received it
for his fee.—Kennebec Journal.
The Nile Valley.
The secret of the inexhaustible
fertility of the Nile valley, which
has long been credited to the an
nual deporit of silt from the over
flowing of the river, has been dis
covered by Mr. Fairchild, agricul
tural explorer of the United
States government, to be the ni
trifying powers of the plant ber
I seem. Berseem is a species of tri
folium, which has the power not
i only to consume saline and alku
I, line properties in the land, but
i also to enrich it with nitrates.

KEYSTONE OF 1H|
Kimball Pia g
STRUCTURE. |
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassazle quality, the found*' 1
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect f
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reajhed the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the zultivated human voice. An
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s -mr— 'ftllj
jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the""lar«» .~..
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, qualUyi
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all ' '
