Two Cents' of Cocoanut ami Reoeivs Ills Vouth. "Vrhen I was a 1 boy," a ziidiPo- Now Yorker the other day. according to the Sun, "I used to be verj fond of couoanut cakes, as they wero called, small disks of candied cocoauut, which cost one cent each. They were colored white and rod, and finally they got some chocolate colored, and it seeras' to me they had some other colors. If I had only one cent I boug-ht usually a white one, though sometimes 'l -took a red one; if I had two cents I bought a red and white, to have a variety.

I have seen, the time when I had three cents, and bought all three colors at once. "I had not bought any cocoanut calces for I don't know how many years, though I had seen' thorn along year after year, particularly iu summer, when the dust blows and the white ones get all covered with dirt; but the other day I bong-ht two of the new-fashioned kind, that seems just now to be having 1 a run; you see them on all the push carts. The new cocoanut cakes are all one color, a sort of molasses color; aud they arc not round and flat like the old ones, but thick and bunchicr, like little broken-oil masses of the prepared cocoair.it. found them very good. They differ somewhat from the old-fashioned cocoanut cake in taste and t-xxtnro, as well as in build color; tho old cocoanut cake, while not brittle, exactly, was what yon ruig-ht call crumbly and sugary; it dissolved quickly in the mouth; while the contemporaneous cocoanut cake, uflcr you get below the light frostwork of its exterior, has decidedly more consistence; it is what the modern child calls chewy; but the cocoiinuttiiite is there all right, and a-s 1 cat them thev c.irry me back to the days of my youth."

The most wonderful baths in the world arc those built by Adolph Sutro, in San J'Vineisco. The great clifl's have been tunneled, that the water of the Pacific may flow through a succession of canals into the reservoir where it is warmed; and thence into the enormous tanks. The baths are more than twice as large as the largest of the famous old Roman baths, and Mr. Sutro lias tried to make them as beautiful. Twenty thousand people can stand, or promenade about, the tanks, which are arranged for uvcry possible set of bathers.

There are cold baths and hot baths, swimming and diving baths, baths for children and beginners. The largest tank is two and seventy-five feet long-nnd one hundred and fifty feet wide. There is even ti fresh-water tank, supplied from Uie waterworks above. Tho pla.ce is full of beauty and color, with tropical pla-nts and rows of growing palms; while through the glass side-wails, the ocean view stretches. The building is of steel aud glass, and its ghixod roof spans more than two acres.

-Tier after tier of rooms for tin: bathers rise, until they are numbered by many hundreds, 'A great stage, fifty feet broad, is placed at the ocean end of the tank- room for an orchestra. The building is -furabhcd with electric jiglits and el- ovatorj throughout. Three restaurants provide refreshment, and an aquarium and conservatory add to the beauty ttnd interest. The Cliil rocks outside are covered with seals, sunning themselves, and tho finest baths in the world have perhaps the most beautiful setting. IN THE HEAT OF YOUTH.

"It would be hard to imagine a raorc coquet," he declares.

This gorgeous rig he was to wear. for the first time at a dinner given by the governor general in honor of the men newly promoted; and he could hardly wait for the time to come. When he came to put the garments on, however, he found himself literally in a strait. For three he had been going aboij.t in loose Arabian costume. His new clothes were so dreadfully tight! He got into his jacket only with the vigorous assistance of three of his companions, who had to unite all their forces in order to button the thing together.

"It seemed to me," he says, "that at the first mouthful of bread or the first swallow of water, everything would burst. And when, as it happened, the governor general looked in my direction, with his big round eyes, like coffee-cups.

I felt a foolish desire to hide myself under the table. Ah! for that evening, the fashion made me suffer!" A SINGULAR FACT. Tljo Sense of Fcelinc In Critical Moments. It is comforting to know that in extreme cases of bodily harm men suffer much less than is commonly supposed. Rustem Pasha, Turkish ambassador in London, was once attacked by a bear, which tore off part of his hand and part of his arm and shoulder.

He affirmed afterward that he felt no sense of fear or pain. AVhat; occupied his mind was a feeling of anger "because the bear grunted with so much satisfaction while thus engaged." Sir Edward Bradford, an Indian officer, bears similar testimony. He was seized by a tiger, which held him with one paw, and then deliberately devoured the whole of his arm. beginning at the hand and ending at the shoulder. He.

too, is sure that he felt no fear. He believes he felt a little pain when the fangs went through his hand, but feels certain that ho felt none when the tiger was munching his arm. The author of "Among Men. and Horses." from whose book the foregoing facts have been gathered, relates an experience of his own, bearing upon the same point. He was walking -utiarmod through an Indian jungle, when a tiger sprang up almost at his feet.

'Tor probably two seconds, which seemed as many years," says Mr. Hayes, ''he raced round me, I. stood stock still, wondering 1 why I could not put out my hand and catch him by the tail. That' was the only thought that occupied my mind during those eventful moments, until, a bound and a grow.l, the THE EXPIRED CONGRESS, Demise cr a Demoralized The Fifty-third congress has expired. Almost its only mourners are those and representatives, chiefly democrats, who have failed of re- election, and whose salaries come to an end, and those lobbyists, claim agents and treasury raiders of all classes who believe that, if this con- press had lived a few days or hours longer they might have got their measures through.

The grief of a' few of these outgoing congressmen is lessened by the fact that the president has kindly consented to provide for them for the next two years. Cut the means at his disposal arc limited, and most of the victims of the popular indignation of 1S94 will have to earn their own living. The Fifty-third congress will live long in the memories of the American people as a "horrible example" of democratic governmental incapacity. That party had an overwhelming majoritv iu the house and small majority in thn senate. It had a president of its own.

The day after the election of 1S90 the democrats began bragging of the record their congress was going to make. It had been elected on a platform wherein the party prorv.iscd to pass a tarilT bill which should impose dutips producing revenue, but not giving lection. It promised to administer the affairs of the government honestly and economically. It "safeguards of legislation" to injure the maintenance of the parity of gold ami silver. 11 also promised the repeal of the federal election laws.

The democrats proclaimed that their congress would do all these and many other pood things: that it would give the country a degree of prosperity it never had enjoyed before, ami that it would go ilo-vn to history as the grc.it and good congress. It hns ended its career and will be known as one of tho most discredited ones iu the annals of the country. Hi; existence coincided with that of a panic and a business depression such as the world had not known -for twcntv 3'cars. The hard times of the last forty- eight months were caused by the aj: prehension of the legislation of this congress and by the legislation itself. It is true that this congress broke the pledges of its party to pass a tariff bill giving no protection, hut, it passed one w'hich cut clown protection so much that every interest was affected.

Last November its handiwork was repudiated with singular unanimity. Although appeale.d to by the president time and again for "safeguards of legislation" to maintain the parity of the silver money of the country it did nothing except to stop the purchase of silver, and that would not have been done but for republican votes. To all entreaties for legislation relative, to the sale of bonds the Fifty-third congress turned a deaf ear. It would not pro- ide the government with sufficient revenue to make it unnecessary to use the proceeds of bond sales to pay current expenses. It acted in such a way as to shake American credit at home and abroad.

In spite of the promise that it would give the country an honest aud economic administration it became a billion dollar congress, although tho sources of revenue had been dried up in part and rigid economy had become as necessary for the nation as for individuals. About the only one of the pledges of the national platform which this congress has kept was in regard to the repeal of the federal election laws. It did wipe from the statutes every net which had been passed to guarantee the right of American citizens to vote at, federal elections and have their votes honestly counted. But the party which was pledged to the admission of New Mexico and Arizona as states faih-d to ep its promise. The deceased congress was pledged to pass laws against trusts if needed.

It passed none, but it came very near passing a law permitting the railroads form a gigantic trust for the purpose of plundering the pcop.c by cx- icting higher freight rates. It was pledged to secure freer foreign markets and enlarged exchanges. It legislated in such a manner as to deprive country of the profitable market it iad in the West Indies and as to give Germany and other European countries an excuse for shutting out American meats and other products. The farmers and the stock raisers have been the victims of the fifty-third congress, which they were told was going to do so much for them. It is true that there were many bad things which that congress might have lone, but which it did not lack of time.

It is true also that it Chicago a new government build- ng, which ought, however, to have attended to by its predecessor. 3ut taking all things into consideration it is difficult to find in American listory a congress which began with such high expectations on the part of the political organization which controlled it and which, after disappoints np those expectations as signally, came to an inglorious end. It will be mown as the democratic calamity con- Tribune. sprang.
