The striking scenes of the day were In the house of representatives, where the formal selection of Joseph G.

The .ast hall of the house of representatives ran? with the cheers of Republicans ar.d Democrats for their leaders, and the speaker received as warm a reception from the minority as he did from his own rarty. The appearance of William J. Bryan on the floor of the house also was the occasion for enthusiastic cheering by the Democrats. When the adoption of the rules for the government of the house during the Sixtieth congress came up, the rules of the last congress were opposed by John Sharp Williams, and he was joined in the opposition by Democrats and by a single Republican, Mr. Cooper of Wisconsin.

Committees were appointed by both houses to inform the president that congress had met' and was ready to receive any message he might wish to communicate.

Ho explained to a friend that he constructed the coffin 20 years ago. It was built of fhestnut because, as ho put It. "Manys the time I have sat beside a cheery blaze of chestnut logs and heard them crackle and burn merrily. It makes such a homelike blaze that I picked It In prefernce to other woods. It was my desire to have the coffin as cozy as possible, and I rejected the frivolities which so many persons affect In the matter of coffins. In order to have It handy I kept it In the garret. But my wife tells me that styles have changed, and since I have accumulated a little fortune she will not permit me to die unless I consent to get an casket. To avoid trouble I agreed to sell the old one. But at the same time I think that the coffin which was good enough for me In my poorer days should satisfy me now, and I shall always feel out of place In the affair. up-to-da- new-fangle- d METHODS ARE TOO STRENUOUS.

A salesman who will call, smoke a cigarette, talk Inconsequently about the weather, the theater and the races, and answer questions should any happen to be asked rather than make assertions about his goods, will outsell, five to one, the liveliest hustler that ever opened up a sample case. This is a thing so contrary to the instinct of the American salesman that, to date, in his wanton disregard of It, he has constantly played into the hands of his more experienced European rivals. Your Yankee drummers, says the latter politely, "are the greatest salesmen in the world in America. we Advance in Miscroscopy.
