MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
I
Man Who Ware Bom In One Section
and Represent Another at
Washington.
There are few men in congress
wTho 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
who have been elected from the
south, and in this case he comes
from a bhrder 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 beeD
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.
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, j
a border state, however; Senator |
Newlands, of Nevada, a native of ;
Mississippi; Speaker Cannon, of,
Illinois, and Representative Dix- j
on, of Montana, and Shober, of ,
New York, were born in North
Carolina; Representative Mar
shall of North Dakota, is a native
of Missouri. AVest Arirginia is
not always counted a southern
state, and the fact that her twm
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.
I
A friend who leads a very active
life has a theory that the preset*- j
; vation of a good figure depends to
some extent on the manner of j
| walking, says the Philadelphia;
| Inquirer. Many people, she says, j
! as they advance in years allow
themselves to walk heavily and
without elasticity, so that the
whole weight rests on the lower
| part of the limbs at every step,!
the only effect of exercise being
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 !
muscles are braced and strength
ened throughout, the lungs mustj
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 Romantic.
A romantic incident connected :
with the recent marriagq of two
popular young people of Bridgton, j
Me., has juSt come to light. Ifcj
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
liia wifa Ha nlifinnpH fnlrp
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
; seem. Berseem is a species of tri
folium, which has the power not
only to consume saline and alka
line properties in the land, but
also to enrich it with nitrates.
Something of a composite of alfal
fa and clover, it is in every way
more delicate in flavor and more
succulent than either,

KEYSTONE OF .MmM
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its
tion of its grreat musical worth, the cause of its
piano scale-making; is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merge!
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the groal,
Kimball is Prom inent.

One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the Zultivoted
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s
Jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantage* of
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price.
