ame (ate under the protection o( the
Silver Republicans? Generous Charlie
Fitch happening on the scene about
this time and quickly grasping the situa
tion came up to Knight and told him
they would get the Silver Democrat to
turn over their Keprwentatlve-Iollo to
him. For the time lin; this teemed to
pacify Mr. Knight, but when he learned
that the place paid only $300, and ex
penses, per session, he disappeared from
the Hall, and when last seen looked as
though he would collapse So finally the
report was adopted, with the under
standing that the Treaxurershlp would
be given bark to the Populist and that
the Silver Democrats would turn their
Representative over to the Silver Repub

"The Iuuer Experieuces of a Cabinet

teresting contributions to Tbe Ladies'
Home Journal. In a series of letters tbe
wife of a cubiuet member writes to kor
sister of office seekers and of those iu
the departments. "You can have no
idea," she anonymously declares, "bow
Henry (ber hunt uud) is persecuted by
applicants for his influence with tbe

into one of tbe old families here. I don't
know whether her family lost their

but they did lose everything when she
was a gay girl at the top of society in
both Alexandria and Washington. Sbe

though awkward and annular in his

J
DURATION OF HUMAN LIFE.
A Maa Mlfht INMslbly M t T Om
lluadrd and Twsatr-ftv YaarsOld.
Iu thoavcmK" statistics of human life
it has been found thnt women live lon
ger tbmt meu. The rousou fur that ap
pears to be simple.
Up to the age of SO to 28 the limn is
undoubtedly younger and lass develop
ed tbau the woman, but in the next SO
or DO years of bis lifu tho man ages
much more rapidly, because apart from
the straiu and hardship of a profession,
the exposure to unlioalthful climates,
the disappointments of fortune, he of
ten leads a life of dissipation aud ex
cess which early puts Its stamp upon
bis forehead and turus bis hair gray be
fore its time. Tbe woman, ou tbe other
band, who bas oftun mora than ber
hare of anxieties, hns, apart from the
many acoidenta of Ufa, but one serious
aud inevitable danger, that of tbe per
petuation of ber race, which, safely
passed, renovates rather than ages and
increases a woman's chance of longev
ity. From tbe few facts that I have ven
tured to put together we may deduce, I
think, tbe following conclusions, which,
I trust, may be found of some interest
by those who desire to have a general
view of the expectation of life, its real
duration and tho possible causes of iu
length aud brevity.
First. That, according to tho best
authorities of tho last ceutury, the ex
treme limit of life might be 193 years
under extraordinary and almost abnor
mal circumstances,
Second. That the anticipation of life
is roughly five times the time tbat the
organs of tbe body not counting the
brain, which develops later require to
attain their full aud .absolute maturity.
This, of course, varies Dot only iu races,
but in individuals, some developing
early and some much later, even in the
same climate and iu the same family.
Third That rarely, if ever, is that
full duration achieved, owing to dis
ease, food, heredity, bad habits, wear
aud tear aud many other causes which
1 shorten life.
1 Fourth. Tbe slower the development
tbe longer may be tbe duration cf life.
I Fifth. That all btimau beings are
not boru with the capacity for long life
1 even uudcr tbe most favorable circum
stances. As the organism of the human
being is more complex thau that of tbe
lower animals, so his anticipation of
' lifu is fur more variable.
' Sixth. That thoo circumstances
1 which conduce to longevity ore nu
' doubtedly Into development, frugal hah
its, moderation, exemption tr m virissi
1 tndes of climate and extreme of beat or
cold, from mental worry aud agitation,
temperature iu eating aud drinking,
with a fair amount of hniu work w hen
I tbe brain is ready to undertake it
; We have all beard the well woru ax
' iom attributed to the Psalmist that the
"days of irr.n are threescore and ten,"
' but in UeiiLj 1, 8, will be fouud tbe
' following p.i.-r-ugu, "Yet bis duys shall
be au hundred and twenty years."
, This passage secnis to buve been over
1 looked, as 1 have rarely seen it quoted,
although curiously enough it exactly
corresponds to tbe theory that man
should attain five times the period of
reaching bis maturity. Nineteenth
Ceutury.
j Th. DIsflcurlDf "Make t p."
I So loug as we indulge in the barbar-
ism of footlights some strengthening of
the points of tbe face may be needful.
It is iudecd au excellent thing when
deftly done and tbe material causes of
the effect entirely bidden, as tbey should
be. Tho clarity of a whiter tiut to the
general tone of the skin, tbe illumina
tion of eye aud tcetb by emphasizing
tbe brow and lashes aud lips, tbe height
ening of tbe color all these things can
be so done as to disguise the means by
-which they are done. What is the
method actually pursued? White is laid
all over face and shoulders iu thick
washes, like a Pierrot's mask, masses
of black pomade loud the eyebrows and
eyelashes, great gobs of red are put upon
the ear lobes and on and around the
lips like a snapdragon, deep piuk in aud
below tbe nostrils aud on the eyelids
and masses of bluck or purplo beneath
tbe eyes, projecting to tbe temples iu
arrowheads.
All these things oro perfectly visible
to a large part of tbe audience and are
disfiguring even at a distance. With an
opera glass they are shocking. The ob
jects which are obtained are tbe gog
gling of tbe eyes, which can be thrown
about with the intensity of a darky's;
and the display of the ivories, which
produce similar effect to bis. For pus.
sion to sbow itself in such plastered
faces, for waves of emotion to spread
over them and for any refinement of
feeling to communicate itself to the au
dience are as impossible as it would be
to expect these things frum tho painted
canvas. Tbey cannot cry, of course, nor
touch, nor be touched, without disaster.
Ellen Terry played a disfiguring scene
here one night, with tho water stream
ing from an eye into which ber loaded
eyelashes had dichiircf'd themselves.

fOrt ORDER IN THE COURT.
A frtitMl against Dramatis Dsmomitr
tlons la Trials by Jarjr,
There Is a pr actios the universal
prevalence of whluh In our existing
trials by jury makes justice a misno
mer. It is a practice whose evils, to
far as I can discover, have nover been
commented upon, or even appreciated,
by tbe press, publlo or individuals,. I
refer to the whole ruothod by which,
tight or wrong, iuiinomioe or guilt is
sought to be proved by tho oouuaol ou
cither side.
Assume, for Instance, a criminal ease
for the same method is applied,
though usually to a lessor degree, to
civil contests. Beginning with the
opening arraignment by the prosecu
tion, thcuee through the examination
and cross eisuilnation of tbe witnesses,
the display of exhibits, ou to the very
end of tbe final harangues of tbe oppos
ing counsel, the dramatic is never lost
light of.
Tbe emotions, not the Intelligence, of
the jurors aro appealed to throughout
In a typical murder rase which re
cently gratified thu morbidly sensational
element of the entire country the dis
trict attorney arose impressively,
glaucod about bim ominously and then,
with a tremulously traglu voice, proceed
ed to arraigu the accused, charging him
outright with the crime, pruutically as
suming without doubt that be was
guilty and endeavoring by the use of
very wile of tho orator's art to sway
the jury to his mode of thinking. Aud
this before the minutest bit of evidence
had been taken.
Is eloquence a proper adjunct to our
jurisprudence?
lleretio though 1 may be, I hold em
phatically and with qualification that it
is not. It hns uo place iu a ball of jus
tice, where, we are led to believe, the
truth and only tbe truth is to be brought
out. Eloquence, as manifested by ora
tory, Is inimical to truth, which can
only be discovered aud established by
calm, unprejudiced aud dispassionate
Investigation.
Eloquence appeals to tbe emotions,
and its victories are obtained by trick-cry-the
trickery of masterful verbiage
playing upou sensitive but unreasoning
ears.
The claim that cannot be justified be
fore the reason cannot be valid. Elo
quence is the weapon of falsity. Truth
and right do not require its usa The
spheru of eloquence is tho stage. In the
pulpit, before the Lar of justice and iu
the hall of legislutiou it is a source of
unlimited evil,
I bold that for the accomplishment
of justice all the theatrio displays, all
eloquence, all excitants to thu vmotloua,
should be Uu lulled from our courts of
Isw by sentiment if not by regulation.
They have no place there.
Judicial pnx-edure should be along
the lines similar to the investigation of
scientific propositions and discoveries.
The establishment of right or wrong,
guilt or luuoceueo, is something to be
effected by cold, prosaic, rigid Inquiry,
step by step, ss atiulogous as may be to
mathematical demonstration.
We shall have to wait loug for tbe
time when this Is recoguhced, but it will
be iu the Indefinite future, and when
that time does come we may be more
confident tbat our otmrts of justice aro
such in something more than name.
