A CONGRESSMAN'S LIFE.
It Is Not Altogether a Blissful Ex
istence. . t
Some of the Annoyances with Which the
Average Statesman Has to Contend '
llesct on Every Hand by
Public Demands.
Most days of the average member of
the house are repetitions each of the
other. A review of the twenty-four
hours r. it tie by a member before closing
his eves for :v night's rest puts him to
sleep with t he thought that the lot of a
legislator is not always a happy one, '
and that statesmanship is the least of
things that enter into his day's toil. !
The corresjciident of the Philadelphia
Telegraph risked cne of the oldest mem
bers of ttho house to keep a record of
one day of eonijrossi-jn il lvfo. This is it .
in brief: "Riffht o" in-.1:. Ic-eakfast;.1.
eight thirty, opened nuiil utv.l laid aside
all newspapers with auu.-c! articles
for future examination, tlutid upward
of ninety letters on all aorts of subjects,
of whk-h i'ta foU-Avis are twenty ex
amples: One is from a veteran asking
for information about his jwnsion. He
gives no pnstoUiee aidress, and I am
obliged to write a letter, to the pension
office to sev ere his address. Another
correspo-.;.ic-:it vv-ants a number of vol
umes of giVfgrHpliical survey, which,
upon investigation, I find are not to be
had. A veteran writes that he commu
nicated with the pension office Decem
be 7,1801,' and ffot :t communication
from them nearly a iiiontli later which
made no roforeneo t hi letter; wants
me to go to the oui-:i; to see if. his com
munication was received. Another let
ter requires me to go to the pension of
fice to ascertain what theVe is defective
in the application of the writer for a
pension.
"A gentleman from the agricultural
department requests me to accompany
him to my home, where he is to deliver
a lecture to some of my constituents.
Another wants the Congressional
Record sent to hiin. An applicant for
pension wants to know where his pa
pers are. One o f my constituents writes
for me to secure him a place in the gov
ernment departments. Another wants
the report of the bureau of animal in
dnstry. Another wants his pension
matter looked up, but does not give the
number of his case. Another wants a
position in the government printing
office. In another letter the gentleman
gives an account of trouble he is having
over the exaction of duties from him for
goods brought to the custom house.
This requires investigation at the cus
toms division, treasury department,
and an examination of the . law, which
shows the duties were properly col
lected. "The pension office notifies me of the
allowance of a pension. The office also
wants to know how an applicant fox
pension in my district spells his name.
Another correspondent wants informa
tion as to the foreign insurance com
panies doing business at the national
capital. A pension applicant wants to
j know all about the surgical report in
his case. Another wants me to have a
medical examination as to his condition
made at his home, because he is unable
to travel. Another letter is on the sub
ject of river and harbor improvements.
Another gentleman wants me to ascer
tain what action has been taken in some
land case he has before the government.
"These are examples of requests con
tained in nearly a hundred letters.
Each one requires a reply, and most of
them involve writing letters to the de
partments or making personal visits,
many requiring long personal examina
tions of department records and un
wintling of lots of red tape. Most of
the matters arc such as must be looked
into before going to thcapitol.
"After this I go to the committee
work. Th'-'re is a different committee
for every day in the weolr, with sub
committee work besides, and on Satur
day, besides several sulxvrmmittees to
look after, I havo' various departments
to viait. At twelve o'eioi-ir entered

Cost of Keeping an Elephant.
All the elephants used in the Indian
army as draught animals in the artil
lery or commissariat, or as bdggage an
imals in the transport department, are
very carefully attended to, and in every
way treated with the' greatest consid
eration. Their keep is about thirty
rupees, or seventeen dollars a day, in
cluding, of course, the wages of their
mahout and grass-cutter. ' They are
fed principally on nnhusked rice and
grass; of the former they get about twe
hundred and fifty poundsand of the
latter about four hundred pounds pei

FLOWING INWARD.
Interest inj; Phenomenon on the Island oJ
, - Oephalonia.
"There is an - interesting' instance of
water flowing inward from the sea. It
is found on the island of Cephalonia, in
the Ionian sea, west of Greece. The
phenomenon occurs on the southwest
side of the island, near the' small town
and port of Argostoli, says Goldthwaite's
Geographical Magazine. Two streams
flow at a short distance from one an
other straight into the sea for a few
yards and then follow different courses.
One turns at right angles and runs for
some ways parallel with the shore and
close to it. Then it-turns again toward
the sea, and running, of e nr-'se, deeper
and deeper, doubles completely raider
itself, thus forming a loop, and Snaliy
passes out of sight deep down ill a land
ward direction. In its eonmo it turns
two flourmills, which will iriv-2 idea
of the strength of the current, - I.ere
is no tide in the sea here, and ti;: How
of the salt ' water brook is perfectly
steady and continuous. The other
stream disappears in the ground in a
similar way.
" This curious phenomenon lias u it at
tracted much attention because Argos
toli is not on one of the summer tourist
routes. No one knows what becomes
of this water, but it probably flows to
some subterranean reservoir, end it
may have something to do with the
earthquakes that occur in th"t neigh
borhood once in a long v.-hil j, or pos
sibly it feeds some dfctust vjlcsno. for
as is well known, the most '-er.craUy-aecepted
theory of the cau:i : f volcanic
eruptions is that they are duo t ctoam
generated from water admitted through
cracks in the earth's crust or iu some
other way. . .

afflicted will rejoice with D. E. Carr of
1235 Harrison street, Kansas City. He
is an old sufferer from inflammatory
rheumatism, but has not heretofore been
troubled in this climate. Last winter
he went up into Wisconsin, and in con

came upon me very acute and severe,
he said. "My joints swelled and became
inflamed; sore to touch or almost to look
at. Upon the nrgent reqnest of my
mother-in-law I tried Chamberlain's
Pain Balm to reduce the swelling and
ease the pain, and to my agreeable snr

- A Military Display. -
One of the most interesting exhibits
in the government building at the
world's fair will be a display of arms,
uniforms, tents and flags in use in the
United States army at various times
since 1770. This display is being pre
pared in one of the Gray's Ferry arsenal
buildings. A space of six thousand
square feet has been set. aside for this
exhibit. The uniforms will be draped
upon lay figures and arranged in realis
tic attitudes. The one particular
group in which especial pride is taken
is to consist of seven figures on horse
back, representing a general of the
present army v and staff. The central
figure will be as nearly as possible an
exact likeness of Maj.-Gen. Schofield.
All the articles were made entirely by
Americans and of American materials.
There is a collection of at least twenty
five flags, and these alone are valued at
eight thousand dollars. "
