Professor Dexter, studying rondl

tudes, found that in the former the pit
jilb were best behaved on cold, calm
and clear days. Muggy days were pro
ductive of the greatest unrullness. A
marked tendency to tulstiehavlor was
lso uotcd on hot day and on windy
ones.
In blch altitude schools, such a
those of the city of iH-nver. where
mugginess Is seldom In evidence,
windy days were found to have the
most disastrous effect on conduct

MACE OF THE SPEAKER.
Ancitnt Emblem Used In th House ef
Representatives.
In one resjiect the bouse of repre
sentatives surpasses the senate In dig
nity. The senate has no mace. Now,
a mace is not much In the way of fur
niture. It b a sliver eagle mounted
upon a staff uround which are bauds of
silver.
This mace Is always an emblem of
the house of representatives. It Is the
duty of one employee to look after It
Just liofore n session of the house be
gin he takes It from the olllce of the
sergeant tit arms into the bouse cham
ber, nnj us soon ns the nHukcr's gavel
fall he Inserts it In a socket In a stone
pillar at the right of the sHaker
chair. The mace remains there while
the house 1 in session inn is taken out
and stood beside Its pedestal when the
house Is In committee of the whole.
When the house adjourns the mace b
carried back to the olllce of the ser
geant nt aii.is.
This undent emblem has not n thin?
tit tin with the order of business of the
house save as one of the old time regu
lations that are continued. When the.
house is turbulent an olliier seizes the
ninee nnd wall.s through the aisles.
Only once or twice when the speaker
fai'ed to preserve order, said a Wash-j
iiiu't'in correspondent, have 1 seen an
olheer sel.e the mare niul walk through
the house, waving it backward and for- i
ward. Possibly the sluht of it brought
members to tl;e!;' senses rnd they re-j
tired to their sc.ns. At all events, that ;
b ii bout tl nly real use for the iniuo
that I ever have observed.
What a Toid Enjoys.
There are few things more amusing
than to wnteh a toad submitting to the
ojierations of n back scratching. He
will at lirst look somewhat suspicious,
ly ot the twig which you are advanc
ing toward hlni, but after two or three
passes down his back his manner un
dergoes n marked change, his eye
close with nu expression of Infinite
rapture, he plants his feet wider apart,
and hi biily swells out to nearly dou
ble Its ordinary size, us If to obtain by j
these menus more room for enjoyment i
Thus he will remain until you make
some sudden movement which startle
him or until lie has lii.il as much pet-
ting as he wants, when, with a puff of
regretful delight, he will reduce him
self to his usual dimensions and hop
away, bent oin v more on the pleasures
of the chase.
Fish In Former Timet.
Men of former ages, unless they lived
near the sea or n river, had print dilll
cultles in gratifying their taste for flsli.
The great houses had their tish ponds
or stews, but sea lish, such as cod,
bream, sturgeon, herring and sprats,
were salted, and the excessive con
sumption of highly salted Qsh In the
middle ages b said to have produced
leprosy. Fish was also baked In pies to
enable It to be carried for great dis
tance. A Hint ef Plagiarism.
