An extended speech on the Phlllppino
tariff bill was delivered In the senate on
the 31st by Senator Morgan (Ala.) who
devoted particular attention to an
amendment which he offered to the bill
last week. Ho maintained that the en
nctment of tho bill as It stands now
nfifowl'l not be a constitutional remedy for
1ho situation the measure Is designed to
relieve, but said that with the adoption
of Ids amendment the bill would stand
tho closest scrutiny of tho courts. After
u brief executive session the senate ad
journed until tho 3d.... The houso pre
pared to defend Itself ngalnst what It

voted the day to eulogies on tho life and
public service of the late Representative
Brosslus, or Pennsylvania. Mr. Ulerlng
(Ky.) reintroduced a bill providing for
tho establishment of a pension court of

Another spirited debate with the Philip
pine tariff bill as to the text was precipi
tated in the senate on tho 3d as the re
sult of some statements made by Sena
tor Carmack (Tenn.) In tho course of an
extended speech on the general Philip
pine question. Senator Ueverldgo (Ind.)
challenged some of his statements. Sen
ator Heverldge and Senator Tillman (S.
C.) also became Involved In a heated
colloquy In which tho exchanges were as
hot as both senators well could make
them. Prior to tho taking up of the Phil
ippine bill, the measure providing for an
Incrcnso In the salaries of United States
judges was under discussion for an hour.
The pending nmendnient was that of
fered by Senator Stewart (Nov.) Increas

spiracy" and tho use of "restraining or
ders and Injunctions" in certain cases.
The bill is intended to nid in ndjustlng la
bor disputes on, railroads.... The house de
bated the oleomargarine bill. The oppo
nents of tho measure attempted to fili
buster against It at the opening of tho
session, but were beaten by more than
a two-thirds vote. Those who antag
onized tho bill favored the adoption of
Ihc substitute which Is designed to pre
vent the fraudulent sale of oleomargarine
under the guise of butter. Mr. Hlakeney
(Md.) Introduced a bill limiting the price
of sleeping ear tickets on Interstate rail
way lines. Tho rates fixed aro $1 for an
upper and 25 cents extra for a lower for
COO miles, with an Increase for longer distances.

TALE OF A SEAL GARMENT.
A Honton Mntt'H Intended I'renrnt for
IIIn AVIfc 2e iUvltclioil Oft
on the Viy.
' An amusing story iA being told of a
Boston woman who lost a beautiful
seal garment which Her Indulgent
husband had purchased .for her in
Montreal for a Christmas present. As
the story is told, the coat was being
brought to Huston ina large traveling
bag carried by the purchaser. As ho
approached the. Canadian-American
border lie began to have doubts us to
whether or not he could persuade the
customs ollleials to pass the, garment,
so he cast about him for some means
by which he could evade the payment
of the got:rnnient's dues. A short
distance from'his seat in the ear was
a well-dressed woman who appeared
to be alone. The man went to her,
and, explaining his predicament,
asked her if she would be willing to
wear the coat us her own garment,
over the "line." The woman agreed
nnd the danger line was crossed in
safety, says the JJoston Transcript.
As the train approached the Mas
sachusetts line the purchaser of the
coat approached the woman, and,
after thanking her for the tronblo
to which she had been put, and ex
pressing both the thanks of his wife
and himself for her assistance, said
that he would not trouble her to wear
the coat for any longer time. Much
to his surprise, however, the woman
fniled. to recognize him and insisted
that, the coat was her own. All ap
peals from the man were of no avail,
and the wearer of the coat stated, so
it is said, that she knew the man well,
find, calling him by name, asked hint
if he were willing, to have it made
public thill he was trying to evade 1 lie
payment of customs duties in that
way.
The purchaser of the garment p'on
dered over the matter 'or awhile and
came to the conclusion that the loss
of the coat would be less annoying
than any notoriety, while the woman
left the train at Itoston resplendent in
a seal garment intended for the wife
of a Uncle llav man.
KITCHEN ROUTINE.
If Properly Carried Out AVIII Do
Much to luereiiNc Hie Comfort
of (lie IIiiiiic,
The intelligent supervision of the
housekeeper over the manner in which
the daily kitchen routine is carried
out will do much to increase the com
fort of the lioiiMe, Kiysa household au
thority. If coal stoves must be used, a
little planning wiU utilize all the heat
-vhcn at its greatest. Unking, boiling
and roasting may often be done to
gether and in advance. In other par
ticulars, too, the kitchen can be made
to reduce to a minimum it effect upon
the house. Soiled dishe and cooking
utensils should not be allowed to ac
cumulate, tiie sink should be kept per
fectly clean and frequently disinfected,
and no fly-gathering pails or plates of
refuse allowed to be about. Careless
ness while cooking, .and after it, is re
sponsible for many Iwd odors that help
to make the house unciinifortnble in
hot weather. The odor of stale grease,
somiug from unwas'hed pots audi pans
left on the stove may easily be pre
vented. The kitchen should be fre
quently and thoroughly ventilated by
beiii,- opened to the outer air. In weli
rquipped city kitchens, hoods and oth
er ventilating contrivances; carry off
the odors, but in many others only the
care of the cook and the intelligence of
the directing mind enn uucouipli&h any
trood results.

GENERAL JOB WHEELER.
Major General Joseph Wheeler,
commanding the cavalry forces In
front of Santiago, and the author
of "The Santiago Campaign," in
speaking of the great catarrh rem
edy, Peruna, says: "I join with
Senators Sullivan, Roach and Mo
Encry in their good opinion of Pe
runa. It is recommended to mo
by those who have used It as an
excellent tonic and particularly
effective as a cure for catarrh."
Catarrh has already become a national curse. Its ravages extend from ocean
to ocean. More than one-half of the people are affected by it. Catarrh is a sys
temic disease. Peruna is a systemic remedy. Peruna cures catarrh by removing
the cause. Address The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O., for free book.
