AT THE LEGISLATURE. HOW OFFICES AND APPOINTMENTS ARE DISTRIBUTED. "Jell*" He-fused to Full With the Quay Muchlne and Consequently host u I'osl tion for a Fr.ieml- Kline Is Notoriously Slow-John >l. Carr Scores a Point. Jim Sweeney, the Ilarrisburg corres pondent of the Plain /taker , makes the following comments on what lie saw at the Capitol last week : Representative Jeffrey was mad for two days because the upper Luzerne Republican members combined again.-: him and knocked him out of an appoint ment. He was anxious for tlieappoint ment of his friend, Ben Davis, of 1 ice land, for the position of sergeant-at-arms 1 of the house. Mr. Jeffrey's experience <>f last ses- , sion did him no good and by some ! maneuver or other he failed to connect, : and Harvey, from the second district, | who is a pretty shrewd fellow, captured j a nice position for a man by the name of Jenkins, who is a resident of that dis trict. Jeffrey seems to be a little sour with the party all the way through, for on what might be considered a strict party vote on Tuesday evening, he voted very loudly with the Democrats, lie is very independent of the Quay machine, for in his light for re-election he got no as- j sistance from that quarter, notwith standing the fact that Quay had an eye after every doubtful district in the state. Whether it was an oversight of the managers, or whether it was done inten tionally is yet to be found out, but one thing is certain, Jeffrey was elected with out any pecuniary aid or encouragement ; from the machine, and his is the only j exceptional case in the house, particu- j larly where there was a chance to gain a Republican member. Senator Kline was detained at his home until late on Monday evening and j when he arrived here the Republican members of the senate had met and parcelled out the different positions on that side. If the senator had only understood i the ropes properly and came here in time he could have easily obtained a good position for one of tiis constituents, i As it was, he placed Sandy Patterson, of ! AVilkes-Barre, a former resident of l Ebervale, and who at one time kept a saloon in Hazleton, in a six-dollar-a-day position. It was bis intention to put Phil J. j Boyle, of Ila/.leton, in a place, but he j did not come here in time to look after I it, and for that reason lie was left, and it may be said here that he was told at different times that it would be neces- j sary to be on the ground in time so as to i get part of what was being shared out. Air. Patterson, who was appointed as '■ a janitor of the basement, came to this ! city early on Monday morning, and while j here learned that the senate slate com mittee were in session. He hunted them | up and presented a petition signed by Judge Rice, the sheriff, county commis- j sioners, Jim Norris and a host of other ' Republican celebrities, recommending him for a position in the senate. The committee wanted to know if he ! was acceptable to Senator Kline, and he i answered that he was, and immediately I was given the place. He did not like the job he was given, but as soon as lie learned that he could farm the job out at $2 per day, Sundays included, and re ceive §4 per day himself, and not be obliged to stay here, he gladly accepted it, and on Tuesday went to the treas urer's office and drew S2OO on account and went home a happy man. John M. Carr, of Wilkes-Bar re, a for mer resident of Foster township, came here on Monday night. Next day lie hunted up Senator Kline and made known to him that he desired the ap pointment of auditor of state accounts , for the county of Luzerne. Senator Kline marched over with him to the auditor general's office and the appoint- . merit was immediately made by General Gregg. It will be worth to Mr. Carr about $250 a year, and there is but little labor attached to it. The Knights' Programme. The legislative convention of the I Knights of Labor of Pennsylvania was held at Ilarrisburg on Friday. John C. Costello, of Pittsburg, was permanent chairman. Among others the conven tion indorsed the following measures: The abolition of Pinkertonism; to amend the ballot reform law of 181)1; to amend the semi-monthly pay law; acts to provide for the erection and maintcn- i ance by the state of two mining and mechanical schools, one for the anthra- j cite and one for bituminous regions; to provide free text books for the children of the state; to amend the factory act and increase the deputy inspectors. J. C. Costello was made chairman of 1 the legislative committee for this session. Resolutions were adopted thanking < rov ernor Pattison for his approval and sug- ; gestions in favor of ballot and labor re form legislation in his recent message. Wilkes-llnrre's Hospital. The report of the Wilkes-Barre city hospital through the treasurer. Colonel G. Murray Reynolds, for the year of 1892 libs been made, and states that the hos pital is in a fairly good financial position. The chief item of interest just now is the new building and the prospective new buildings. The new one now being completed will cost about $21,000. A balance on it of some SIO,OOO is pro- ' vided for by a surplus of over $'')00 in hand and $4500 yet due from the state. With the $20,000 which seems accessible from the state board of charities, tin work of replacing the old buildings by a new one of brick will probably be car ried well along during the coming year, i The Khan >r Khiva in Europe.

The khan is in iff* fifty-third year. He speaks several lan guages, including .the Persian, Arabic and Russian, and his dress is that of :i European, although his connections are those of an orthodox Mussulman. He travels in company of his mollak or jviest and his own cook, as ho cats no food but that prepared according to the rites of his religion. The khan's annual income is about $200,000.

In Indianapolis I entered one of ike rooms containing the younge-a children at the time of the opening excrcis* •. The scene I encountered was a glimps of fairyland. I was in a room full of bright and happy children, who.- • eyes Were directed toward tii*- teacher, not because they were forbidden to look in any ether direction, lmt because to tliem the most attractive object in the room was their teacher. She nndor < stood them, sympathized and I v. d , them, and did all in her power to in terest them and make them happy. ' ( The room itself was charming. The window sills were filled with living plants, and living plants wei i d here and there throughout t • room. The teacher's desk was lit :. ivwn with flowers, and upon each of the chil dren's desks flowers hud 1 :' in d to welcome the little ones to ho. 1. The book used during the reading les son was the book of nature —the plant they had just been studying. The scene presented by the happy little children, each with a flower in his hand, surround ing the teacher, who was smiling upon them, was truly beautiful. I For reading matter the children w.-rc I called upon for sentences expre ing I thoughts concerning their flowers. T e sentences were written upon the board ! by the teacher, and when a numlar of j them had been written the pupils 1 <■ ; . i: to read them. The children were int- r ested because they all took an acti,e part in the lesson from the beginning to the end. They were all observing, ail thinking. Some of the little ones even committed . the crime of laying their bauds upon i be | teaclierfund she so far forgot herself a to fondle them in return. Yet the dis j cipline was perfect. What is perfect j discipline in the classroom but perfect attention? There was no noise, there ! were everywhere signs of life, and such j signs of life as become a gathering of young children.—Dr. J. M. Rice in Fo ; rum. I The Madonnas of Botticelli. I As we examine the various madonnas by Botticelli in the galleries t;f London, Berlin, Paris and Florence we cannot fail to he struck by the ardor of emotion ! that seems to have animated the painter j in his search for the perfect type of beauty realized in the "Crowning of the Virgin." The construction of the In ;ul j of the Virgin is'essentially the same in all Botticelli's pictures, but the fleshly I mask and the expression vary, and th • I final charm of each one remains an tin ! decipherable puzzle. { We feel that this madonna is an in: i ! mate vision of the ideal woman who "imparadised" the painter's soul; so i Dante speaks of Beatrice, the object of 1 surpassing desire. Wo mnrv 1 at th : mouth, at the eyes, at tin? eyelids, at the i sweep of the brows, at the thick golffi n ! threaded liair, at the splendor of the draped head over which angels hold a crown, at the beautiful coin* of i'.e flesh, which suggests a souvenir of the "Vita Nuova." She hath that paleness of the pearl that's fit In a fair woman; so much and ut i more; She is as hi _;h as nat lire's si. ii I can sour; Beauty is tried by her comparison. —Theodore Child in Harper's. Charted Corsets. Now that electricity is being more and more widely used it is no longer safe i r 1 a woman to carry her watch in th ! place where it has always been most • j cure—in her corsets. A New York j woman a few days ago was going to pay la visit of curiosity to an electric light ! plant. She was warned that her watch I might he charged with electricity, and so she did not take it with her. , . The precaution was useless. The next , I day the movements of the watch were most eccentric. Now it was fast, now I slow, hut never right. She asked her | husband, who was an electrician, wind could be the matter with it, and h • . .i j found that her corset steels had \ n I charged with electricity during her \ to the plant, and that next day, when she placed her watch in its usualreslic place, the charge had been communi cated to its works. Of course women have often worncor- I sets that havo been "charged"'—-at the ! shop. But here is a now idea.—New ' | York World.

If you go to a countryman and him the reason for that difference in the charge, he will r- ply: The reason is very simple. The horses with long tails can easily drive : away the flies, while those with clipped tails cannot do so, and they are so tor | men ted by these insects that they eat absolutely nothing.
