Mrs. Burrows, who was Miss Frances
Peck, was born in Kalamazoo, Mich.,
and educated at Rockford college.
While attending BchQol in her native
town she was taught by Mr. Burrows,
then a young man, and the acquaint-
ance soon ripened into a warmer at-
tachment. Mr. Peck was a wealthy
man—a banker—and his daughter en-

campaigns throughout the state. Mrs.
Burrows takes a great deal of interest
in public questions, is a member of the
Daughters of the Revolution, belongs to
women's clubs at home and has decided
literary ability. She is a handsome
woman, with big blue eyes, a stylish
figure which she dresses well, while her
manners are gracious and pleasant.
Mrs. Marion Butler is the wife of the
youngest man that has occttpied a seat
In the senate since the days when
Henry Clay first belonged to that au-
gust body. She was Miss Florence Fal-
son, born in Sampson county, North
Carolina, and educated at the school in
Staunton, Va., of which Mrs. J. E. B.
Stuart, widow of the noted confederate
general, was the head. Mr. Butler was
running a country paper when she met
him, and the wedding took place about
two and a^alf years ago. They have
one child, a pretty baby of about 10
months.
One of the most prominent men in
the republican party is the chairman
of its national committee, Senator
Thomas H. Carter of Montana. Senator
Carter has been prominent in politics
for a long time, and has also lived in
Washington for some years, having
made this place his home since he held
the position of commissioner of the
general land office. His home, into
which he has just moved, is up on a high
hill in a suburban part of the city
known as Mount Pleasant.
The Carter house is a tall, red brick,
facing the north. It is prettily fur-
nished, the bare floor being richly pol-
ished, the woodwork of oak and the
furniture of dainty designs now so pop-
ular. Back of the parlor is a quaint re-
ception hall, and this ends in a cozy,
Mrs. Martin is the youngest of the
w ives of any of the senators, being but
22 in February. She has charmingly
cordial and unaffected manners and is a
gifted conversationalist. In riding and
swimming she is skilled, and she makes
a pretty picture when handling the
ribbons over her prancing team of shin-
ing blacks. Though fond of society her
mind has more of a literary than social
bent, and some of her productions have
been much admired for their beauty
of expression and thought. A poem
(from her pen appeared in one of the j
Richmond papers, and the verses
showed poetical talent, Mrs. Martin ex- j
pects to make literature one of her i
studies and will in future devote much I
time to this work in which she has ex- |
hibited so much genius, thus adding an- ,
other trigli1- !!stt to the many already j
claimed by the Old Dominion.
Mrs. ICnute Nelson, wife of the sena- j
tor from Minnesota, is, like her hus- j
band, a native of Norway, but came to
this country when she was but 6 years j
of age. The family settled in Dane
county, Minnesota, and there it is that
she has lived since reaching the United
States. Senator Nelson came from the
northern part of Norway. When he
was but a child his parents emigrated
to the United States and settled in the
west, finally getting a home in the
same neighborhood as that in which
Miss Jacobson, now Mrs. Nelson, then
lived. And so in the wilds of the new
world these children of the frozen north
met and married.
Mrs. Nelson has only two children,
both of them grown. The young lady is
living at the home at Alexandria, Minn.,
and the young man is in business in
another part of the state. Mrs. Nelson
is a quiet lady and cares not at all for
social pleasures, preferring instead the

long the wheels will

says that a wheel j
that will not run i
any great length of
time under these circumstances may
prove exceedingly satisfactory on the
road. Of course, it is important that
the adjustment be accurate, but the
mere fact of so many revolutions is not
specially significant. A wheel fitted
with a very light racing tire will not
revolve as long as one fitted with a
heavy roadster. Some of the forces
which oppose the revolutions of the
wheel are increased by the weight of
the rider in the saddle, others are not.
Of two machines, the back wheel may
revolve more freely in one than in the
other. One may be retarded by some
friction In the hub-bearings, the other
may have some of the gearing coming

The luigest tunnel ever built—the
under-water section of the Blackwall
Tunnel, under the Thames- lias Just
been finished. It is twenty-seven feet
in diameter and one mile in length,
and connects Poplar on the north side
of the river with Greenwich on the
south. Nearly four thousand feet of this
tunnel had to be driven by compressed
air. The accuracy of the survey anil
the dangers of the work may be Im-
agined from the statement of the en-
gineers that, while driving the shield
under the river bed there were, at one
time, but five feet and two inches of
earth between the top of the tunnel and
the water. So great was the danger of
the water bursting through that large
quantities of clay were dumped into
the river over the thinnest spots.
The Hot Wind* of tlio Roitkl« .
Scientists are of the opinion that hot,
dry winds that blow over the eastern
slope of the Rocky Mountains depend
upon the presence of slow-moving, low-
pressure areas in that region, and
thence eastward, accompanied by rela-
tively high pressure over the Pacific
ocean off the coast of Oregon. It is be-
lieved that air is heated in its sudden

of great Importance, and is, in fact,

A Popular Fallacy.
There is a widespread impression
among medical men and the public at
large that there is little or no danger at-
tending the removal of the tonsils, and
instruments for this purpose are found
in the possession of almost every prac-
1 titioner in the land. An eminent sur-
| geon declares that removing the tonsils
| is an operation attended with a great
! deal of risk. One reason for this seems
i to be that in cutting there is danger
! of approaching near the large arteries,
j or, at all events, tapping small veins

are of metal, enameled black, and are
fastened by means of a spring on the
back, which is thrust into the one-
eighth inch slot between the parallel
glass plates. Electric lights behind the
white glass project the letters with
wonderful clearness at night, and no
weather can blur them.
