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

w holding protracted sessions, going
over each separate item in the $70,^

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

brought to bear, however, and finally
the committee got down to a business

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

From Sot to Cold.
Dysentery is prevalent everywhere
in summer and is due to miasmatic
[ poisons, and begins abruptly with infc
flammation of the mucous lining of
the large bowel. 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. ;

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."

Paid for Supper.
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.

AN INCENSE PARTY.
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.

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. There is sulphur in ]
fuel oil, and it's this sulphur that does j
the yellowing. Nitric acid will bring j
brick the original color again."?Philadelphia

Lucky For the Ancestors.
"It's a great thing to have a line line
of ancestors." i
"Doubtless it is. and it's a mighty
good thing, too. that some of these tine j
lines of ancestors couldn't look into the !
future and see their descendants."? i

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.
