The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, May 14, 1902. Senators Coming South. So Many Want to Come That Business is Delayed. Washington, May S ?So many senators and representatives have decided to go South with Representatives Thompson of Alabama and Crumpacker, of Indiana, to see cotton grow and incidentally to look into ai ?--- 4-hof r?nnfpr bUO UfglU ^ucowu wuuv v-v ence committee oa the river and harbor bill, which has been in session I for three weeks, has taken a recess B for a week. Since the middle of April the sen ate and house conferences have been w holding protracted sessions, going over each separate item in the $70,^ 000,000 port distributing measure, and only recently have begun to - make headway toward an agreementThe senate added $10,000,000 to the bill, and the house conferees at first declined to consider the question of adopting any 01 toe seuuu? huj-uuI ments. Effective arguments were brought to bear, however, and finally the committee got down to a business "X basis. y When the Southern pilgrims re" turn the work will be resumed, and I it is hoped an agreement can be reached so that the bill can be disposed of in both houses not later than June 1. Wants Others to Know. ' "I ha** used DaWitt'a Little Risers for constipation and torpid liver and they are all right. I am glad to indorse them for I think when we find a good thing we ought to let others know it," writes Alfred Heinz9, Quincy, 111. They never gripe or distress. Sure, safe pills. J. E. Kaufmann. News from Around Peter's. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Chopping cotton is now the orcer * of the day. Glowing health generally attend our community. Mr. Paul F. Schneider has the finest corn I have seen this spring. Mrs. M. A. Franklow visited relatives in the Piney Woods section last week. Mr. James W. Kaminer has the finest wheat in this neighborhood. 4 Soon the click of the reapers will be heard reaping in the golden grain. Mr. Henry Harman, one of our young farmers, went to Leesville last week on business. He reports, a busy time. The folks in some sections report - a good fruit crop; but ours is poor, r although the blackberries haven't gone anywhere yet. ^ Quite a large congregation attended divine services at St. Peter's last first Sunday morning, where the Kev. J. A. Cromer preached a very ' interesting and touching sermon. Mr. Simon Hendrix is the proud father of a young voter. Last Thursday evening Mies Bell and Nannie Caughman visited Mrs. S. L. Hendrix. We fear that Mr. W. Q. M. Berley, , who is interested in getting the free delivery through this section, will k fail, although we sincerely hope not. With success to the good old Dispatch. Puella.

In America the disease is common, but properly \ treated does not result as seriously as in the tropics. Perry Davis' Pain^ killer is the best known remedy and the mo9t efficacious in the treatment of dysentery. Mors Potato. Renan had a great contempt for mere words, however eloquent. One l evening he met at a sort of a literary dinner M. Caro, the philosopher be| loved of fine ladies, who set himself to prove a certain theory. His elo- j quent assertions did not seem to interest the sage. In the middle of one of his most sonorous periods, M. ; P &' --IMMaK?B?ggHWW R3nan at'empted to make himself heard. But all the ladies were intensely, interested. They would not have i their pleasure spoiled. "Io a moment, M. Kenan, we will listen to you in your turn ' He bowed submissively. Toward the eDd of dinner, M Care, out of breath, stopped with a I j rhetorical emphasis. At once every one turned toward the illustrious scholar, hoping that he would enter the lists, and the hostess with an encouraging 6mile, said: ".Now, M. Kenan ? "I am afraid, dear lady, that I am now a little behindhand." "No, no!" "I wanted (o ask for a little more potato." Are You Using Allen's Foot Ease? Shake into your shoes Allen's FootEase, a powder.

Three men had been out on a spree, and on the way home late at night they made a wager that the one who did not do as his wife told him should pay for the champagne supper the following night. The first one returned home, and wife greeted him thus: "Hullo, you beauty! That's right, knock all the ornaments off the mantlepiece !" He knocked them all off. The second returned, and on going into his house fell against the piano, whereupon hie wife said: "Go on, get (he chopper and smash it up!" He did so. The third returned, and, on going up-stair8, his wife said. "You miserable scamp, fall downstairs and break your neck!" . Needless to say, he paid for the supper. ?

Odd Etiquette of an Interesting Japanese Function. If you ever receive ati invitation to a Japanese incense party, accept it promptly and thankfully. It has no counterpart in our own social system and is as merry and pleasant an affair es can be imagined. The people of the mikado's land have trained the nostrils for generations the same as we have trained the eye and ear, and they display a skill which at times is startling to a westerner. There is an odd etiquette to be followed in these social affairs. For the twenty-i'our hours preceding the party each guest must avoid the use of anything which can produce any odor whatever. Scented soaps, perfumes, odorous foods and even spices must be avoided. These prevent the user from smelling accurately and also interfere with the other members of the party. When you dress, be careful to put on no garment mat nas ueen Kept m me neighborhood of camphor wood, tobacco. bouquets, dried blossoms or scented powder. When you reach the house of your host, enter it as softly as you can and as slowly as possible. This is to prevent making a draft by the movement of your own body. Be equally leisurely in opening and closing doors, as a quick movement induces a sudden rush of air. In the drawing room the hostess burns a series of incenses, usually four or five in number. Each guest is allowed to take three sniffs of each incense and must then jot down its name and number upou a card. Each of the four or five incenses is burned two or three times, so that the number of cards will vary from eight to fifteen. At the end the cards are laid out on the table, and the hostess reads the names of the incenses employed, which are checked off upon the cards. The guest who has guessed the largest numbe^ receives a pretty prize, which is sometimes a silver or bronze i-ncense burner, statuette or carving. Among the Japanese the average woman guesses correctly about six times in ten, while with the American women the ratio is three in ten.?New York Post. HER LOST DIARY. Tho Plaguy Thing Had All Her Dearest Secrets Recorded Too. "Diary!" fairly shrieked the pretty young lady, with flashing eyes, as she walked down the avenue with a companion. "Diary! Don't you say diary to me again. What do you know about it Kate?" "Nothing, only that you told me that you had commenced keeping a diary, as usual, and 1 supposed you had drop- ! ped it at the end of a month, as usual. | i did?!, t mean to throw you into kys- : teries." "Kate, don't you ever breathe a word of it but I've lost that diary; dropped it somewhere on the street And the plaguy thing has all my dearest secrets in it. I wrote just what I thought too. j It just sends me crazy. There it is in I black and white that Lillian looks like a fright that Hattie is turning green from jealousy, that Charley is just too sweet to live and that Fred hasn't ! sense enough to talk more than three I minutes unless he rehearses in advance." "Why don't you advertise and offer a reward?" "Indeed, I won't I never want to see the thing again. If any one returns it. 1 shall declare that it's a forgery from beginning to end. I'll never own up the longest day I live." "What did you say about me, Edith?" "Oh, I don't just remember, but some- j thing nice. You can depend on that, for ! you're my very dearest friend." "I can help your memory. You wrote | that I was the most inquisitive little j minx in the city and that 1 thought it ! my special business to look after other j people's business. Here's your diary, j You left it at our house, and Tommy I spelled out your estimate of me before i I knew what he was doing. Good after* nooD." Then they looked at each other, both began to cry, fell into each other's arms i and in five minutes were criticising a mutual friend.?Kansas City Independent. j I Sulphur ant! Silver. A sailor in the custom house the oth- j er day took out of his pocket some silver coins that had a strange yellow | hue, and a clerk said to him, "What makes your money such a funny color, JackV" "Well," replied the mariner, "we just got in with a cargo of fuel oil. It's the oil that turned my money yellow. Fuel oil has that effect on ev* I ery kind of metal. You ought to be on | a fuel oil steamer some time. It would i surprise you to see the cabin silver- j ware, the kitchen tins and every blast- j ed bit of metal on board all having the j jaundiced look.

I iHBBBBnDBBHnHHH# SCIENCE SIFTINGS. Saturn's largest moon is 2,002 miles In diameter, slightly smaller than our own. Jupiter is one and a half times larger than all the rest of the planets put together. In size the sun f jUnls 1.300,000 earths, but owing to its smaller density its weight equals only 300.000 earths. Careful scientific investigations show that the average speed of the transmission of earthquake shocks is nearly 10, 000 feet per second. Zinc expands up to the melting point. A bar of hammered zinc six inches long will expand 1.100 of an inch in raising the temperature 100 degrees F. The suu gives 000.000 times as much light as the full moon, 7,000.000.000 times as much as the brightest star in the sky and 30,000,000 times as much as all the combined stars of the heavens. The latest theory in connection with drowning is that no water enters the Jungs and that heat properly applied, with artificial respiration, will resuscitate persons who have been under water for an hour. This feat has been accomplished by the doctor who advances the theory. , Theologry an He Understood It, Passengers in an uptown car one afternoon last week were very much entertained and amused by a discussion of things spiritual by two colored pas sengers. As the debate waxed warmer the voices of the debaters grew louder until what was said was plainly audible to all in the car. After each had made a confession of faith and given his views of the means whereby mortal man could gain salvation one of the pair blurted out in a tone that implied that all his hope for the next world was embodied in the words: "Well, sah. I b'lieve dat what's gwine to be is sbo'ly gwine to be." "tluh." grunted his companion contemptuously. "den yo' b'lieves iu premeditashun."?lialtimore Sun. Tbe Limit.
