Yet It Is lmpoill)lo lo find a member of either house of congress who will confess that his olllclal Halary enables him to more than cover eNnenFes. What Is It that they are all to enjov after they have won tho rojP l-'list of all the annual salary of $3,000 a tenth of that received from thu khv crnment by Mr. McKinley. For iepre sentatlves add $1,200 allowed nearly for clerical Hei vices, but whose e)on diture needn't be accounted for to any one. For membeis of both Houses add $125 a year allowed for statloneiv, the balance to be drawn nt the end of each session If not all used. It seldom hap pens that more than $.'0 of this allow -ance Is expended. In addition to thin each wmdtor jnd lepresentatlve annually receive? thou sands of packages of vegetables and flower seed, treatise on URrlcultuial science, maps and chuts fioin the government surveys, and a ceitaln number of ruttlncs, bushes and plants, furnished gratis by the Koveinment and mailed under fr.ml: to his consti tuents.

The perquisites In the last paragraph, how ever, are not open to a member of the house, though a lemesentative may take ordinary baths with free hoap, towels and perfumery, CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES There is no reason why a thilfty man even one accustomed to the niceties of life should not save one or two thousand dollars during each teim in the house. It Is hardly possible for a senator to sae, however, since he has to hpend a great deal ot money to keep up with his greater social duties In the "Millionaires,' Club." The truth of the matter Is that many remesen tatlves and a few senators do manage to sive a little. The richer the man in tho Washington olllclal set the more Is lequlred of him. Over a thlid of the men who sat In the senate duitng the last congress economized by living at hotels or in apartment houses. A halt of the representatives cut down ex penses In the same manner. They thus avoided the unnecessaiy cost of malntaiutrg a house, rented or leased, between sessions. To the millionaire member ot con giess the annual official salary is meie ly ornamental. It is the heavy swell thing for the legislator of this brand to turn over his five thousand a year to his piivate secretary, who geneially has his employer's private Interests to at tend to in addition. A number have done this already, and It is gald that Mr. Hiinna not only gives his secretary his whole salary, but a thousand dollars per annum in addition. Trom the ap pearance of things In hla office, this particular secretary earns every cent of what he Is given, but that Is neith er here nor there. Mr. I3iice is said to have given his whole senatorial s.alaiy to his secretary, while his social pilot piobably lecelves even more. But good things like Calvin seldom blow Into the senate, except from Ohio, Under the old order of things senat ors' secretaries received $6 a day dur ing session. The salary of the senator ial secretary was changed to $1,200 a year, to he received in monthly pay ments, regardless of session or adjourn ment. It was figured that under tho new rule each sccietary would lecelvo about as much per congiess as he did before, but extra sessions were not In cluded In this reckoning. Many sena tors' secrotailes aro underpaid at the fixed rate. No two senators, however, have the same amount of work to do Some who hold chairmanships ot unim portant committees are supposed to use the committee clerks for their personal correspondence, and are, therefore, not allowed a secretary. aooD sncRETAiuns.

Nevy York. young fellows, who know the wliolo official routine like a book, and who are fairly aching for congressional sec retaryships. Young men who have re ported for looal papers or who have nssistcd correspondents of outside dal lies make tho best secretaries when they can bo procured. Nepotism has frequently been resorted to In the se lection of congressional clerks and sec retaries. The president of the last senate appointed his son as his private secretary, and so did the speaker of the Flfty-thlid congress. Senators who are thalnnen of committees are at liberty to appoint whom they please as clerks to their committees. Tho clerk to the senate committee on ap propriations receives $3,000 a year, and has an assistant clerk who gets $2,220. The cleik to the committee on finance gets $2,fi00 a year. There uie three oth er giadea of senate committee clerk ships, which pay $2,220, $2,100 nnd $1, 140 annually. In the last senate alto gether eight chairmen appointed their sons ns their committee clerks. Theie is no reason why senators' sons should not make good clerks, but It frequently happens that cleiks to these commit tees nio mere Ilguieheads, function aries bluebooked as assistant clerks or "messengei" doing ull of the actual work. There was one case a few jeara baek whero the son of a senator was nominally clerk to one of the most lmpoitnnt committees of the senate, while In leallty he was attending col lege In u distant city. Although given a menial title, the messenger to a com mittee In the senate Is usually a very Important personage. In some cases he does nil of the committee's stenog raphy and typewriting. He gets $1,440 a year. The messenger Is sometimes appointed by tho seigcant-at-aims out llght, but usually tlnough senatoilal inlluenee. Theie aie altogether fifty seven messengers in the nenate. N SENATE'S EXTHAVAGANCE. Statistics show that there aie ubout four emplojes In the senate to eveiy senator. The senate's exttavaga'nee, compaied with that of the hoube, has long been pioverblnl. The house costs the government only about twice as much as the senate, although it.s mem beisliip Is four times as gteat as that of the latter. The men who watch the doors to the senate galleiles get $1,440 a j cor. and those who lift senators ftom lloor to floor in the elevatois get $1,200. Men w ho fold senate documents get $1,000 a year. Tho senate iliemen get $1,0!)", and tho senate locksmith nnd upholsteier, $1,440. On the house side salaries aie much smaller, and theie are fewer sinecures. House mc-sengi'is do not lecelve over $1,200 a yeai. Cleiks to committees get $:000, $2,000 oi $1,100. Conductors of elevatois on the House side get $1,100. Membeis of the house are not le quited to appoint any legular piHate secietary to appear on the lolls. Some of the poorer membeis airange mutters m that they may lecehe altogether $0,200 a ear, bv doing their own cor lespondeiue. Some pay for the couej pondence by the folio, some by the hour; some allow vailous sums for ai ioHis lengths of seivlce a day A num ber hae employed their sons. One member of the last congress used his wife as his piivate sectetary. Hepie sentatlves of wealth, however, genei ally give the full $1,200 a year to young men legularly emploxed as secretaries. Few have ever gone ovei the full al lowance, however, as in the senate. NEW YORK FASHIONS. Theater Dresses Furs Neglige Cos tumesSilk Petticoats Spangled and Feather Fans. Special Correspondence of Tho Tilbune. New York, Jan. 7. For theater or general evening wear, black taffeta silk costumes are In great favor, the shirts made with a circular or Span ish flounce, having many rows of black lace Insertion over a color; the waist on the same general idea and are, in fact rept eductions of summer organ dies In sombre hues. Black Biussels net di esses (always over silk), trim med with llbbon, velvet or satin ribbon, nre very useful; n pretty Illustration having seventeen graduated rows of velvet on the skirt, the one nearest the waist being "baby ribbon" width. Graduated velvet ribbon is also on the sleeves, but on the full front, half inch wide velvet Is run very close together, A beautiful yellow surah silk neglige costume has nine tucked panels on tho skirt, commencing a little less than half way down, bordered on tluee sides by white lace with a double edge, and end ing in a deep flounce, which has three rows of white lace Insertion. Sleeve caps and coisage fronts nre tucked In one piece, the tucks In the latter not extending quite to tho edge, which re sults In a fluffy fiont, falling loose over a white silk blouse. Sleeves are gathered very full to bands of inser tion in mou.squetalro style, and wide lace finishes cuffs and sleeve caps. YOUNG LADIES are veiy partial to plain-colored taf feta silks, tilmmed by narrow llbbon with a chenille edge, put on In tuf fles outlining fancy designs. In even ing costumes the design is a "one ef fect," in color, and although Independ ent waists flouiish, still elegant spang led chiffon bodices should have satin or silk skirts and sleeves matching the color under the chiffon. Above all things, a "patchy effect" should be avoided In full diess costumes.

Immediately after His baptism Jesus went foith to meet the urch-docelvei of the nice As Ho euino to deliver Hla peoplo from sin (Matt. I, 21) it wus necessary that He nhould llrst conquer the father of all evil, theieby displaying His power nnd luylug tho basl" for confidence. Moreover, His vic tor' might be Instructive ns well as lllus. truth e of that wurfaro which must bo continually waged until the end of time. The encounter was In the wilderness, supposed to havo been between Jericho and the Mount of Olives. It was a direct und peisonal conflict, a duel, no other persons being pieseut. It was a solicited strugele, the Spirit leading Jeaus Into It (verse 1), that there might bo a trial of strength, and the championship decided. Tho flint man fell when Satan met him In tho gaulen (Gen. ill, 6), although warn ing had been given, but the second ivdam (1 Cor. xv, 43), will triumph glorlouslj, foiever after to wear the victor's clown. Hl'NGEH. The temptation of Jesus was possible only because He had ii hu man nutuie. (John I, 14). Had He been wholly Divine no solicitation to ovll would have been attempted, for God cannot be tempted. James I. 1!). It had been proved ut tho outset of the ihco that n mere iiiun would fall. It remains to be seen w bethel a God-man lau bo turned Trom ilghteounnevs. A series of threo attacks will decide the matter. Tho llrst onset was on the lower plane of the body (vere 2), precisely where Jive broke down. (den. ill, 2). Jesus endmed a long fast extend ing thiough fortv duys probably for spli Itual extuises, tor to that put pose rust ing hail been practiced fiom time Im memorial. At the end He was hungry, and the temptei's opportunity hud come. (Verso S). "Slake these stones breud, ' He said. A very simple and eusy task! A sly and Insinuating suggestion It wns, exhibiting the cunning of the evil Mill It. The Divine Jesus might easily supply by mliacles the needs of the human Jtsui. ANSWER "Wliv not follow this hint? If for no other irasoii, because Satan ot tered it. HH woids, houevei plausible, must alwnys be rejected. Eveiy life must be coufoimed to the will of Unl. Whatever regulutlon may have been niado b the inllnlte Father Is in wisdom, nnd am denaiture from it will lesult hi disaster, although human wisdom may conctlvo a wyy apparently better. He sides, the physical llfo of Chilst, was ap pointed to be distinctly liumun, the same us tint of otlur men subject to the ,,aiio limitations (Phil. 11 7), that it might be come a p ittern to all. Hud His body been supernaturally supported Ho would not hnvo known man's infirmities (Ileb. Iv, l'i), neither would He havu coino Into close relation with men (I John I, 1). Besides, theio were higher needs than those of the body (Ttom. vlll, H). that tho soul might prosper All these reasons are doubtless Included, and otheis also, In the answer given (verse 4), which Jems show Russian sable, ermine or mink trimmings; ladles' hat brims are edged with It; narrow fur bands are the pre fer! ed garniture for the new circular or Spanish ounce, now so fashionable for street, theater or evening costumes; In short no one feels really stylish without wearing fur of some kind. A DOUULT BREASTED seal or 'Persian lamb box coat Is the acme of comfort, and as the coldest weather is yet to come, many persons delay buying until after New Year, theieby taking advantage of the usual Januaty reduction in prices. Seal is just now In great demand as the catch is limited and prices gen erally have bean advanced; as an ex ception however, Mr. C. C. Shayno Is selling all seal wraps at former rates owing to his lmmenso reserve stock. Next to fur capes, como cloth or silk capes lined with fur, paying for them selves a thousand times over In addi tional comfort and warmth suitable alike for day or evening. IT IS DIFFICULT 'TO IMAGINE, anything new in tea gowns, yet one of del blue cashmere is quite novel being a sort of combination affair. The under dress Is made up of white silk and white lace insertion, a tucked yoVe uround the neck, a white silk blouse fiont, and Jacket fronts edged by lace. Over this Is an exquisite drapery (so to speak) of blue cashmere, with deep slits where white silk sleeves como through, and confined at the shoulders by thieo plaits, flowing wide open at tho front (to show tho silk under drew, and edged around by a beaver fur band. The 'back, between the shoulders is cut In a point and shows the tucked yoke. Around the arm slits, down the sides, and the point In the back, Is run ivory white Venetian lace, about a quurter of an Inch wida with' a fancy edge. SILK PETTICOATS ate ornamented tc a ridiculous extent, and their usefulness Is caricatured when white chiffon or lace ruffles ai added. Tho latest fancy Is a deep ac-cordeon-plalted flounce of plalil, changeable silk, the plaits ending In a full ruffle. Every kind of silk Is used, and as one stylo loses favor as a dicss material, it Is made up Into silk petti coats. While there Is still some demand for tho genuine Empire fan, the ten-Inch size la most practical, consequently tho kiiiq most generally popular. Black and white fans aro very beautiful, made of black lace-llko figures edged with tho tlnleat possible spangles on white silk gauze, which sticks painted to match. Steel spangles on white aro equally atti active, or those of crimson cut into many different shapes and sizes, teflect tho bright color charmingly, or In other styles, spangles of varied col ors and sizes are in set or scroll oat terns, often combined with hand paint ing. Large, white feather fans with amber sticks remain standard and aro really' the most economical, as they never go out of fashion. Lace fans with' mother-of-pearl sticks run up to high figure, and $250 Is not considered extravagant for a Venetian lace fan, with figures painted by a renowned French artist. Fannie Field. Unique IIoiino In Yellowstone Pmk. From tho Chicago Times-Herald. AV. P. Howe, of Upper Gejser Basin, Yellowstone Path, has a hothouse, 20 by W feet, built of rough slabs over u na tural hot spring live inches In dlomqter, with a temperature of 120 degrees. Cucumbers of six weeks' growth showed vines ton feet long, beailng fruit six Inches In length.

Ono verso of Scripture silenced Satan. POPULARITY. Tho next attack was on a more elevated plane. Understanding the naturo and mission of Christ, as tho Son of dod, Satan proposed a method for demonstrating to tho fotmcr and ac complishing the latter a short loute in deed to popular favor. Taking him, In thought probably. Into Jerusalem (veiso B) ho offered to place Htm on a plumule of tha temple. From that clevutlon Jesus might cast Himself down. He need not use His own power to prevent the forco ot gtavltatlon, what had been to fused In the fin mer attack. Ho might bo assured of tho protection ol angels (Verse C), and to make the assertion good Satan quoted Scripture (Psalm xct, 11), following the example of Jesus. This was very ndiolt pleading. If Christ had complied tho result must huve been mar velous. A human form seen for n mo ment at such a giddy height, then de scending to the entth unhuit, would havo aroused Jerusalem and the nation Peo plo would havo hastened to declaio tho divinity of Jesus and to pav Him sult ablo homage. And the work He camo to do might bo begun with huge following. REDUKE.-"The end lustlfles tho means," sava muny a man, intent on success, forgetting that the method em plojrd In every enterptlso Is quite as Im portant as the oblect sought. A definite plan had been laid down In advance for the llfo and work of Jesus in the wot Id by which He put posed to accomplish His high mlbslon. Tljero were to be years of teaching and service, sometimes in ob fciulty, sometimes with opposition (Luke xlll, 31), sometimes with popular ity (Mott. xxl. 9). The earthly caieer must end In tragedy, for so had the prophets foietold (Isa 1111. B), and so wus atonement to be made. The Son of God must not turn nside from this foie-or-dalned outline of Ills ministry, even though some other method might promise quickei lesults. Jv tells Satan this. In doing so He quotes another Scripture, showing thut the whole ot the Divine word, not a single sentence, must be tak en Into account (veisr J). He udmlnlsteis also In that quotation (Deut. l, 1G), a stinging lebuke, itmlndlng the udveisuiy that as Loid He wus woithy of Satan's leverence, and that any solicitation to evil was not only supeifluous but blas phemous.

Tho age-long strugglo might thus be terminated. DISMISSAL Tho real Issue was blunt ly stuted In the Inst solicitation. In the first and second, as well as In the thlid, Satnn had sought supremacy. Now that his motlvo is uncovered, Jesus deals with him In a summary manner. "Get thee hence," was tho command, Tho very presence of the foul spirit was offensive and could not be longer endured (verso 10). That dismissal was proof of Christ's superior dignity, Ho exercised authority over ono who proposed to clotho Him with authotlty. Jesus will some day pos sess all power (Mutt, xxvll, IS), and Ho will rule tho world as the llghtful king (Phil. II, 30), but this result will "hot bo attained by compromise or subordina tion. Refoio the llend departed another Scilpturo text was hurled at Illm (Deut. vl, 13), declailng that all worship should be paid to God. This struck tho vital spot, for Satan was a traitor, seeking for himself honor nnd dominion. No wonder on hearing thq.t ho departed. There was nothing to bo hoped from one who de nied his right to bo served (James Iv, 7). MINISTRY. As Satan letlred heavenly visitors nppeared on the scene (verso 11), Previously they had been present on Im portant occasions (Luke II, 9), and sub sequently they camo when his Interests vvcie involved (Matt, xxvlll, 2). Hut now thev como to minister unto Him, a ser vice which they render to righteous men (Hob. 1, 14), under all dispensations (Gen. xlx, 1). We are not told precisely what assistance they rendered to Jesus in the wilderness. It may be that they supplied Illm with food even as tho ruvens fed the prophet (I Kings xvll, fl). It may be that they gave that upproval and sym pathy w hlch comforted nnd strengthened Him. It may be thnt they brought mes sages fiom the heavenly world, glad tid ings, the lejoiclng of pure spirits over the signal victory achieved. But specu lation Is imnt cessary, perhaps Improp er. Tho plain Scripture record Is beauti ful In Its brevity nnd announces the fact of supreme concern. Despite every etfoit to read out of the paisugo certain words and change the meaning, a practice in dulged bv some, It must stand as proof ot Intimate relation between Jesus Hint tho being of light (Matt, xxvl DI). CONCLUSION. Wo leuined how Jesus resisted the devil. Only In part was His temptation and victory an example for His disciples "We share His first ex perience when poverty tempts us to vio late God's law that we may provide our daily wants. Are share the second exper ience when wo uie tempted to neglect duties which Piovldence lays upon us, or to run into needless dangers or to us sume uncalled-for hazaids, or, when in pel forming duty, we make ostentutlous displays of faith In God and fall to fol low the path marked out for use. We share the third experience when, for the sake of power or wealth, we conform to worldly customs or employ Satan's In struments, In seeming to do God's ser vice." The ono weapon In all conflict Is the woid of God (Eph. vl. 17) Li t every man expect to be tempted, but let him lemember that every vlctoiy brings lilm nearer to the kingdom of light (James I, 12).
