Wasiunoton, Jan 7. The leglsla tivo committee of American Federa tion of Labor, consisting of Prefdtient 1 Samuel Gomiiom. Secreta-y t rink Morrison and Andrew Furueeth . v 1 i ' direction of the toventeonth annual ( convention of the federation, held in Nashville In December, has issued an add rows to the members of the Fifty fifth congress. After calling attention to the Intro- auction oi mouern macninery arm new business methods, and the com petition of convict labor, by which wage workers are forced into idolnoes and want, the committee says it feels that it has a right to bring its griev ances to the attention of the law-making power and to accept 'such definite measures of relief as seem most likely to improve our condition and preserve our independence and freedom as workers and citizens, and therefore urge your earnest consideration of and your be-tt efforts in enacting into law the following mousures: An eight-hour work day on all pub lic works, such law to provide that all contracts or subcontracts for materials furnished or work done must contain a provison that eight hours shall be the maximum labor of any one individual in any one calander day. Further, that it shall be the duty of officials vested with the power of signing such contract to withhold their signatures until such provison is inserted therein. In order to stop tue indiscriminate and dangerous use of the writ of in junction we urge the adoption of sen ate bill No. 35. In order to in some degree lessen the competition of convict labor we urge the adoption of a law to prohibit the transportatioJ of prison-made goods from one state into any other state or territory. t We urge the adoption of a reason able law to restrict undesirable immi gration, such law to be based upon an educational qualification. . . m 1 LI 11 No Change In 1'ostal Service.

When It Is llaly, the Kwt Infection I In "Katlnif It All Vourw-lf." James Pressor, a famous colored ca terer of this city, dead long ago, lur nished too following formula for pre paring and serving terrapin, which was published iu a gastronomi journal at tho time when ho was ou earth : You can't enjoy terrapin unless tho dayisuippiu. Temperature and terra pin go hand in hand. Isow, as to your terrapin. IJless you, there is all the difference iu tho world in them. Tho more northerly is tho terrapin found tho hotter. You eat a Florida terrapin you needn't despise it, for terrapin is terra pin everywhere but yon get a Chesa peake one or a Delaware bay ono, or, better still, a Long Island ono, and thero is just the difference between f 10 a dozen and $36. Warm water kinder washes the delicate flavor out of them. Don't you let Mr. Iiergh know it, but your terrapin must bo boiled alive. Have a good big pot, with a hot nro un der it, so that he shan't languish, and when it has got on a full head of steam pop him in. What I am gointogivois a recipe for a single ono.

Allen in Har per's Magazine. The Modern Agnostic. We look at our churches with their congregations, growing in numbers and dwindling in faith, says H. G. Chap man in The Atlantic, and we ask our selves: In all these buildings, cheap or costly, what real prayers rise, and of those that rise do any get above the roof? What God hears them and has t.hpm ever heei an answered prayer? We look at the face of the dead and repeat a burial service. If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephe bus, what advantageth it me if the dead rise not? And as we say the words we ask ourselvet, "Do the dead rise?" And if any one is found who believes these things he knows that there is another at his elbow who believes them not a Kbit or an atom, and these two can hit ui no universe that shall satisfy both, br can one be poet to the other.

A special to the Chronicle from San Francisco says: There seems to be uo placo for tho body of Theodore Durrant. Both cre matories have positively refused to handle the remains and no cemetery has vet consented to receive them. They aro still at the Durrant house and it looks us if they would stay there for some time. Tho elder Durrant said today: 'My efforts to carry out tho last wishes of the dead boy have been un availing. Tho crematories refuse to ako the body, and cemeteries are likewise reluctant. We may ship the body to Los Angeles and have them cremated there, or we may take tho body and bury it at sea. Wo don't know yet what we can do." TEAS AND TEAS. Things Once Used or Now Used as Sulmll- tutes For the Chinese Herb. Of course every one knows that we drink a good deal that isn't tea when we drink a cup of tea. We drink or are supposed to drink some tea, some lead and some straw. But there are sev eral "teas" that the drinkers know are not made of tea leaves and yet are not adulterated. In Peru they drink mate, a tea made from the Ilex paragnensis, a species of holly. This is the only mate tea, but there is a Brazilian tea, gorgonba, call ed mate there; another tea used in Aus tria, called Brazilian tea, and several other so called mate teas are made from different varieties of the ilex. In Lab rador they make a tea from two species of ledum. Oswego tea was mado from the scarlet mouarda, and mountain tea from the dwarf evergreen, Gaultheria proenmbens. Then clover tea and tansy tea and catnip tea and mint tea are need, though not as beverages. In Sumatra they nse coffee leaves to make tea out of, and the beverage is Baid to be very refreshing. In Mauritius the leaves of an orchid, Angroecum fragrans, are nsed. The Tonquiuese have teas of their own, made of leaves, berries, barks and woods. The Abys- sinians make tea out of the leaves of the Catha edulis. When a sentinel can't leave his post to get a cup of tea, bo can chew a leaf or two of this plant, and he won't feel like going to sleep all night. In Tasmania there are said to be more than 200 substitutes for tea; in England they nsed to make a tea of sage, betony or rosemary and of rai--p berrv leaves: in France they nse black currant leaves and borage to make tea, and a centnrv or so ago they gathered in English gardens and fields ash, elder and sloe leaves, and the leaves of white thorn and blackthorn, out of which to make tea. So it is evident that there are teas and teas. New York Sun. Animals' Fright Is Short. A question that has often been asked is, How long does fright last in a wild creature?

The drying of clothes in frosty weather is sometimes, in tho case of delicate fabrics, attended with tearing because of the quick stiffening in the very cold air.
