w Head of the Liar Class. Congressman I.andis of Indiana can toll a story. A eoterie of liis Hoosier f constituents surrounded him in a Washington hotel recently and one remarked, naming a staIonian who had failed to secure an appointment for a ! friend. Ihnt was the biggest liar he { ever knew. ( "You should have known a man who lived in 1/OgansiHirt." replied Mr. I.an- j dis. "lie was always talking about j ra fine horse which he sm<i in- owneu, | when as a matter'of fact. lie never jc owned a pound of horseflesh in his J life. Hut he talked about it so much ' that he sot to believe it himself, and ( one day lie went to Indianapolis and 1 bought a saddle and bridle. You've ( got to give a man like that llrst place." , t Rlnori Humors 1JF,VV/W , I Are Cured by Hood's !; Sarsaparilla:; "I was troubled with "] blotches on my fa"*.

Degraded I'se of a Sarcophagu'. Professor Ja<-oh Krall of Vienna. | Egyptologist. in journeying across , Austria on his way to the Oriental i Congress iu Home, came across, in Trieste, an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus of rose granite. It was discovered in Egypt sixty years ago. The j ship which was to bring the find to London had to stop at Trieste for re- ! pairs. As security ror tup cost or re- < pairs. $250, the sarcophagus was left behind and placed iu the courtyard of j ramtlli's residence, where it was used ! occasionally as a washing trough. In its original heme the sarcopha- j pus lielonged to Sutissacht. one of the foremost dignitaries of Pharaoh's eourt. It is about .'?,0U0 years old. Au*- j tria hopes to keep it.

McLAl'RINS SPEECH. i 1e Addresses the Senate on Philippine Question. i In the Senate last Wednesday Mrj deljaurin made his speech, on the ^ilippine question, favoring the polic/ ' : U" c-.t/l in .-Mart Jl CX'PdliMUJi. HT7 OU4U 14. . . . "Ja discussion of the question Uier?j ins been manifested it disposition to gnu re the conditions by which we art ton fronted, and to project the dgbat? lpon a line of political scntim nlalsm. This mode of discussion is no; inly unpatriotic, bui is an evnsioi of .he true issue. This is not .1 political luesfion." j Mr. MoLaurin strongly depremtej ' he position which the Democrat i(i ! j party bad taken in making the Phil- I . ppine question and expansion a j.c- j ( irir-;ii issue. He nointed to the past to I .how that same of the greatest Demo J i rats who ever lived were expansion- I 1 Ists and to prove by their acts and measures that if it ha*i not be?Mi for Lhem the United States woull n i; have been the nation it is to-day. He took the ground that the Philip- ; pines are rightfully and legally ours j 1 by the treaty of Paris, and that the- j United States should hold them, at'-; | fording the Filipinos every opportunity to acquire tiie art o:' go .-err. mom. and giving them all the powers and rights possible in the circumstances.'j He dwelt particularly on iho great, op- | portunities afforded by the islands for J trade between American ana the nn- j tions of the Orient. He did not agr-'e 1 : with some of his colleagues on the ( Democratic side that our trade in the east was a mere figment of the imagi- \ nation. He juoted statistics to prove that the experience of the last decade contradicted those who asserted that J nnt nf InmpiiSli 1 our camera uaur ??o ??wV consequence. 'it is in the Orient." he said, "that we must look for markets. There must : he a change in our policy. We must I enter into actual competition for this 1 trade. We must as a nation recognize I changed conditions, and I believe that by holding the Philippines our trade ; in the Orient will continue to increase until all surplus products for rears to ; come will find remunerative markets In the east." Mr. MoLaurin then discussed the i special interests of the south in the ex- : pans ion or our ;rane. "I am glad," said he. "to'believe that , the southern people have dctcrminea to investigate and study this question ' rather than to he led blim'ly by political anti-expansionists. Tne southern farmer by the increased price receivejj for raw cotton last year has become aroused. Fealty to party and misleading information, i fear, has pr > , dueed among them opposition to ter- ( ritorial expansion. The effort has i been made in my own State to suppress 1 all information and arouse public sentiraent against expansion. The frightful ghost of 'imperialism' has been held up before the people of the south tu < frighten them, but I believe it is im- j j possible much longer to mislead 'them."'. u"i "" in siid. in sketching the:, progress of the south during the pa<| ! I'O years, that the blight of negro suf- ' frage and negro domination had almost ,1 extinguished hope and energy and manly effort, but, like a giant bound ' with fetters, she aroused herself at last ' and again started upon an era of in- ' i dustrial life. j I "Capital has flowed into that see- i j tion." said he. "There is eontidenoe in [ all southern enterprises. The bitter,, memories of the past are being for-! gotten in the rush of the development ' of our resources. Our people feel that ' they are again a part of this great 5 country and are left free and tin- i1 trammeled to work out their own des- ! tiny. Our southern manufacturers j ' have all reached out to the markets of j 1 the Orient and discovered their advan- j ] tages. The southern farmer needs i j such markets for 'his raw co'tton to | make its production remunerative. i j "Hy the acquisition of the Philip-' ( pines we hold the key to the eastern ' ( situation. We need not rely solely. upon treaty rights to secure the un- . open door, but can demand equal com- ," mereial opportunity with other nations and if necessary, with the \an- | tage ground we have, assert that de- j mand. Will the United States throw I away the golden opportunity by giving I up the Philippines? I am in favor of j " ' ' c rvn.f Vl : ( holding them, ana 1 oeuev f I 1IC OUUWU r ern farmers and manufacturers will sustain me in my position. 1 'believe. ' further, that the presence of the United States and of its flag, -the emblem of ' human freedom, progress and <-iviliza- i tion, will carry to the millions in the j Orient unnumbered blessings which iu : 1 the coming years will be for their bet- : ferment and amelioration and will con- | j duce t? the perpetuity and glory of j our free institutions and the commer- j. cial supremacy of the nation." ; .

For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced It in- I curable.
