After a delay of in minutes four sonntors dropped in to complete tho quorum niui mo rending or tho journal was concluded and tho routine bushies proceeded with. Tho houso wont ahead with appropriu Uou bills after rotitiuo busiucos. Washington, April . Tho proceed ings iu tho senato Monday from tho open ing to tho closing of tho session wero full of Interest. Tho first in point of tlmo was tho Bwooring in of Mr. Walsh as tho ouutor from Georgia, to sorvo out the term of tho luto Sunntor Colquitt. Two resolutions, Intended to facilitate tho de bate of tho tariff, woro introduced, ono by Senator Mills, providing for an amendment to tho rules, so to penult of tho previous question, und tho other by Senator Allen, providing for tho taking of tho final voto on tho bill on Juno 7, allowing tlireo days for dobato under tho 0-niiinito rule. Doth went over without action. Tho chief interest of tho day centered in Senator Hill's speech. Tho speech Was mainly diicctod against tho incomo tax, although Mr. Hill siwko of tho "humiliation" of tho Hawaiian inimtioii. Which ho nttrllmted to tho fact that tha head of tho state dopartmont was u Ito- Sublicnu. In his opening remarks ho iscussod tho political revolution that led to tho result of tho election of 1802, and bis interpretation of what tho pooplo ox- Ihxhou oi moso placed in clmrgo of tho government.

In tho houso bills wero passed for tho protection of gamo in tho Yellowstono park and for tho punislunont of crimo in tho park by tho extension of tho law and jurisdiction of tho Wyoming United States district court to ito territory; to grant chief justices in tho territories jtower to ap iwint commissioners to tako proof of land coses. Tho houso then wont into committoo of tho whole and resumed consideration of tho postoffleo appropriation bill, llrysu Itcplle to Iteml' Loiter. In tho courso of tho debate which fol lowed Mr. Bryuti (Nob.) took tho iloor, and ostensibly speaking on tho umoiid auont, mado a reply to tho recently published lottcr of Mr. Hood to' Mr. C.L. B. Vnuguau of Hutchinson, Kan., in which ho criticized Mr. Uryuii for using in his siKiecli mado in Denver an extract from ono of his (Heed's) lioston tariff speeches. In that letter Mr. Hoed com plained that tho extract takon from its contents convoyed n wrong impression, Mr. Bryan stated thnt tho oxtract ho sod had not been taken from its con tents; that ho had usod all of tho pub- usuoa report or tno speech. Moreover, ho stated, that Mr. Reed's letter of ex planation was written deliberately and roltorated practically tho idea contained in tho speech from which ho hnd quoted. Ho proceeded to chaructorlzo tho speech as an appeal to sectionalism; nn appeal to tho selfishness of Now England. While Mr. Heed told tho wont that all tho stutoa wero equally interested in tho reservation of tho protected tariff, ho M Massachusetts that slio was pioio in terested. This was a remarkable utter ance from tho lcodor of tho Republican party. Ho called nttention to tho dis orepancy in Mr. Reed's letter. Hospok of his roferenco to tho Wilson bill in this speech, whero, as a matter of fact, tlu Wilson bill was not reported until a month nftor tho speech was dolivcrea. Ho had called nttention to Mr. Rood's letter beennso ho wanted tho country Ij know that Air.

Nearly cvory ono has heard moro or less nbout tundstonvK and tho wonderful cures with which thoy nro credited in Having Ufo whom u person hnd been bit ten by n mad dog. Many regard theso stones as n inoro superstition, but statis tics go to provo that they really do con- iniii many wonderful properties. Mad stones nro seldom heard of anywhero ex cept in tho southom states, whom thoy nro quito common, and most of tho peo ple of thnt section ploco great faith in them. Mrs. J. Al. Parks, a lady resid ing in this city, is tho possessor of ono of theso remarkable stones, and a report er cnlled ou her to lenm something about them. "Yos,"eho said when questioned on tho subjoct, "I havo n inndstono and havo had it many years. Mv husband found it near Magnesia Springs, Fla. I havo only had occasion to uso it thrco or four times slnco it has been in my pos session, and oach tlmo tho best results followed. Tho reason that I havo not used it of ton is that 1 never hear of a enso whero a person has been bitten by a mad dog until I bco it iu tho paper, and then it has always beon stated that tho pa tient hns been taken with convulsions. It is too lato to uso tho madstono then. BpasuiB do not generally nppear until about nlno days after tho person is bit ten, and if tho stono is applied any timo previous to tho convulsions tho poison will bo entirely drawn out by it. "Tho worst case I ever cured with my madstono happened when a policeman hero in tho city, named Price, was bit ten on tho hand by a mnd dog. Ills arm had swollen up to threo or four times its natural sizo and had turned black. Tho man was suffering tho most oxcrnciat ing ngony, und his physicians bad do spnired of his life. I accidentally board of his caho and nt onco hurried to tho houso with my madstono. The doctor consented to givo it a trial, aud tho ro sult was that tho man recovered and is now walking around tho streets as well as over." Upon tho reporter's asking If bo might seo tho stono Airs. Parks immediately produced it, remarking as alio did so, "It does not look nearly as poworful as it really is." It is n littlo, porous, chnlkllko sub stance about an inch long, half nn Inch wido and a quarter of uu inch thick and appeared to bo a sort of vegotablo compound. "Tho process of npplying tho mad stone," continued Mrs. Parks, "is vory simple uud soiuowhut similar to vaccina tion. You select somo part of tho body between tho blto and tho heart aud with a sharp knifo scrapo tho skin till tho blood comes, tuon apply tho stono to tho raw spot. Tho stouo will ndlicro imme diately, and its drawing qualities are so great that It will almost bury itself in tho flesh, sucking out tho poison until all tho pores of tho stono aro filled with tho deadly virus. Tho stono thon drops off of its own accord, and after being thor oughly cleansed with milk, wnrm water and sonp is applied again. This is kept up till the stono refuses to stick, thereby showing that all tho poison has beon drawn out." St. Louis Qlobc-Dcmocrat. The filing-or tho Nettle. Tho leaf and stem of a nettlo aro lit erally clothed with erect hollow hairs. If ono of theso hairs is viewed under a microscope, it will bo seon that its frea end, after tapering to a very fino degree of slimness, finishes as a littlo knob, whilo iu tho other direction, after grad ually becoming inoro robust, it suddenly expands into a largo bulb, corresponding with tho poison gland of tho addor. Tho ioint of tho hair is very brittle, and contact with our skin causes tho end to snap off, leaving a hollow needle point which readily pierces our cuticlo, and pressing upon tho bulb at tho other end tho poison is forced through tho central chnnnol and inflames our blood. Tim tender handed who stroko tho nettlo aro stung for thoir pnins, because their gen tleness lias only servod to break tho brit tle points nnd rendering them fit for piercing, but tho rough handed break tho haire at their thickest parts, whero thoy nro too stout to prick. Good Words. "Iloll Down" Everything! Tho tnsto for short stories, lu placo of tho uncleut threo volume novol, has been cultivated oven in conservative England nnd has becoino so widespread in tho United States that very few periodicals which deal iu fiction at nil uro without their stories begun and finished iu a sin glo issue. Tho talent required to pro duce n fascinating nnd successful fiction in thij narrow compass is ft peculiar one, uud whilo thero aro numorous failures thero aro also a surprising number of successes. Well written, descriptivo ar ticles, too, aro in demand, nnd special cravings for personal gossip and lively sketches of notablo living characters aro manifest. That perennial interest which mankind aud womankind evinco in ev ery individual whoso namo, for whatev er reason, has becomo familiar supplies a basis for an inexhnustlblo series of light paragraphia articles.
