T tariff hill was reported to the
senate Tuesday of last week. Tuesday,
May 18, the bill is to be called up, and it
is expected that there will be six weeks'
debate on the bill. It is radically differ

ant schedules being entirely re-written.
The time for the bill to take effect is
July 1, 1897, instead of May 1. The
many provisions of the bill would occu

Messrs. McMillin and Bland both crit

by the majority. The former said it

Ob the question of the adoption of
the order the democrats divided, Mr.

Mr. Lacey (Rep., la.) cnairman oi me
committee on public. lands of the last
house, who discussed the forest reserva
tion act.
Mr. Lacey criticised the senate provis
ion restoring to the public domain the
reservation created by President Cleve
land last February. He thought the or
der should simply be suspended pending
an examination. If the senate provis
ion became a law, he said, the lands
could not be reserved until they had
been surveyed, perhaps years hence. He
said some of the most bitter opposition
to the order undoubtedly came from the
haajtaaartura of mine ooerators. He
thought the suspension should not be
for more than one year, as was origin
ally proposed in the senate.
Knowles (Pop.. N. D.) and Hartman
(Silver. Mont.) supported the senate
amendments for the suspension of the
Cleveland order, and the restoration of
the lands to public settlement. The lat
ter characterized the order as "the
parting shot of the greatest enemy the
American people ever naa.
The amendment striking out the par
agraph relating to the public building
at Topeka was agreed to.
When the amendment relating to the
forest reservation was reached Mr.
Hartman moved concurrence.
Mr. Lacey moved concurrence with
the amendments providing for the sus

IN SEARCH OF A WIFE.
The meeting of the Universal Postal
Union congress is a reminder that the
world certainly is moving and that at a
rapid rate. Compared with other great
interests of 'governments, that of the
sending of letters and papers seems very
small, but it may be that, after all, the
line of universal progress is ahead along
this way. At these sessions heretofore
a great deal has been done for the ben
fit of all peoples concerned, and there is
no doubt but such will be the case at
this meeting. When it is found, in com
ing years, that so much of good has
"bean accomplished in this one depart
ment, the fact will be a suggestion of
benefit in conference along other lines
of human interest.

Wednesday the senate by a vote of 43
to 26 refused to ratify the general arbi
tration treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, negotiated by Secre
tary Olney and Sir Julian Paunoefote.
Tne rules require a majority of two-
thirds for the ratification of treatise.
Senator Thurston voted aye and Allen
was paired. A spirited debate preceded
the vote. Senator Carter said it was not
aecssaary for oar people to tie them
selves in an agreement of uncertain
scope, especially with a country which
had shown itself so completely out of
sympathy with the feelings of the peo
ple of the United States in the position
England had taken in European affairs.
Mr. Carter advised the senate to let well

CLEVELAND OUT.
. The ex-president has very few friends,
comparatively, in his own party, and the
following prelude from the Fremont
Herald (democratic), to what one of the
great party leaders has to say, is a fair
sample of many paragraphs now going
the rounds of the press:
"Even Henry Watterson, who assisted
with all his power the bolt last year, is
disgusted with the saintly hypocrisy
which is always puling itself up, and
says: Mr. Cleveland can never again
be president of the United States.
Under no conceivable circumstances
ought he to be. That he should eon
template another candidacy affords
strong evidence of a lack in him of in
tegrity and virtue. That a club of eat
allitaa should conspire to place him
acaia in nomination is not merely-
proof of the treason of its members to
their country and to the party to which
they profess allegiance, but of adegrad-
' ing sacrifice of patriotism and man
hood. No party which is worthy the
popular confidence could or would put
him in nomination. Any party ser
iously conteenplsting it would be con
" signed to everlasting infamy. By no

Tax ea DUtlllad Spirits.
Washhotos, May 11. In reply to
a senate resolution as to the effect of the
present rate of internal revenue tax on
distilled spirits, the collection of reve
nue, etc., Secretary Gage today replied
that according to the tables of previous
years the highest revenue rate would be
70 cents per gallon. ' He recommends a
rate of 90 cents, and if the reduction be
made, a return to the bonded period of
three years. Among other changes he
recommends, is that a special tax of not
1ms than 1500 or more than tl.000 per
annum be imposed on the industry of
distilling, to be determined by the ca
pacity of the distillery; that only stills
having a capacity of 20 gallons or more
shall be entitled to registry and per
mitted to operate. The secretary says
the present rate of tax has bad the ef
fect of greatly increasing illicit dis
tilling.

advices received in London from Con

expressed deep spmpathy for King
George and the Greek cabinet, whose
hands, in his opinion, were forced by
revolutionary agents at Athens and

these advices, declines to claim a war

A TELEPATHIC EXPERIMENT.
Boar to Demonstrate Tkla Carloaa Power
by m Simple Device.
A very interesting experiment in the
fascinating science of telepathy, vouch
ed for as being sure to "come out right"
by such high authority as Hudson, au
thor of "The Law of Psychic Phenom
ena" and other works of the some or
der, may be tried at any time by our
readers.
One of these very next evenings, when
the family are comfortably settled aft
er dinner or supper, the experimenter
should introduce the subject of mind
reading or telepathy, which will usual
ly create an interest even in the most
inveterate reader of the evening paper
or the latest novel devourer, curled up
in her favorite corner. Now will be the
onnortnnitv to become a hero even in
one's own household, for we are told (
that, like a good recipe for cake or what :
not, if directions given below are strict
ly followed success is sure.
Let a circle be formed by a few per
sons Joining hands, and one member of
the circle be securely blindfolded, that
is in Buch a way that he will enter into
a darkness so dense that it may "be
felt" To secure this desired trick dark--nese,
fold a pair of kid gloves into sev
eral thicknesses and place like a pad
one over each eye, with an ample hand
kerchief bound tightly over all and
around the head. Now let a card be se
lected at random from a pack, take
great care that no one sees any other
card of the pack, oven for an instant,
then place where all can see it except
of course the blind man. The rest of
the circle must now fix their minds and
gaxe upon the card with every bit of
earnestness they have in their nature.
In the meantime the blind man mnst
put himself into a quiet, passive "Bar
kis is willin" state of mind. He will
soon begin to see (scientific authority
for this, remember, ) indistinct objects
floating in the darkness. Soon they will
begin to take shadowy shape, then dis
appear, take more definite form, and
finally the card selected will appear.
Mr. Hudson declares that out of the
six in the company when he witnessed
this experiment each scored a sufficient
number of successes to remove the re
sult from the domain of coincidence. It
is well to bear in mind that sometimes
the information is conveyed from one
mind to another allegorically, for in
stance, during the evening mentioned
the ten of diamonds appeared as ten
flashing diamonds.
Surely this is well worth atrial.

Mldo Their Scattered Stores
For the Wlater.
Gray squirrels are winter neighbors,
but very shy ones. I have tried to coax,
them to come into the yard for walnuts
by leaving out a supply under the trees
there and gathering all from other trees,
but they were too well supplied with
nuts in the wood. I did succeed in gain
ing their confidence through a pair of
tame squirrels thst had been raised in
a cage bye neighbor. I induced the
neighbor to set them free, and, apparent
ly to reward me, they took up their
abode in the tall cottonwoods and pop
lars about the lawn, but more likely be
cause the neighbor had no large trees.
While they remained an occasional wild

the villainous pot hunter and his worth

visitors back to their wild state.
The gray squirrel is not as provident
as tne little ground squirrel, who toils
thmnsh the loner days of summer and
fall to provide himself a home and lay
np a store for winter use. What little
the gray squirrel does lay by for a rainy
day is not stored in his den, but scatter
ed here and there about the woods, like
the prudent housewife afraid to put all
the eggs in one basket
I learned from my tame squirrels
their method of hiding nuts. The nut is
carried in the mouth, and some time
and thought are given to the selection
of n likely place to hide it When the
spot is finally decided upon, a hole the
sine of the nut is dug in the ground, the
nut thrust in and pushed down hard
With the nose, a little earth pressed and
patted down, and leaves or grass tossed
about in the most 'natural way. After
n snowfall their tracks will be found in
every direction, from the den trees to
ail parts of the wood. Following these
trails, one will find many little holes
in the snow where hidden nuts have
been dug up.' J. H. Kennedy in Har

There are many eagles in the Tennes
see mountains, and there are mountain
eers who 'are expert catchers of the
young eaglets, who reap rich rewards in
return for their perilous risks and ad
ventures. Eagles make their eyries
among the clefts and crags of the high
est mountains of the state. They are
found on the Stone mountain, the great
Roane, 6.296 feet high; the Bald, 5,550
feet; the Great Smoky range, 6,686
feet; the Bullhead, 6,012 feet; on the
Unaka, the Big Stone and others, none
of them less than 5,000 feet above the
level' of the country at their feet.
Young eagles bring from $40 to $80,
occasionally $100. Eagles that are of
some age ana ox a great size (sucn are
rarely captured, however) bring as high
as $300 and ,500.
be killed while trying to capture the:
axe valuable to taxidermists, who al
ways find an easy market for a great
stuffed-eagle. Their feathers, especially
the wing and tail feathers, are sold for
good prices.
The eagle builds its nest upon the top
of n mighty tree growing far up on the
mountain among the myriad of twining
vines, or in the thickest and almost in
accessible growth of boshes and shrubs,
or ou the summit of a high rock. An
eagle's nest is a large one always, and
is strongly and comfortably built Large
sticks and' branches axe laid together,,
nearly flat, and bound with twining
vines. The spacious inside is covered
with hair and mosses so minutely woven
together that no wind can enter. The
mother bird lays two eggs, which are
curiosities. The long end tapers down
to a point The color of tke egg is a
ground of brownish led, with many dots
and epot9 npoa it. The egg itself is
proof of the wild and savage parentage.
An eagle lives from 80 to 160 years.
The young birds are driven forth by
their savage parents to scratch for them
selves as soon as they uro able to fly. No
training is given them by the old bird.
That is left to their wild instincts,
which hunger nud necessity develop.
There is no going "back to the old
home" for tho young eagle. The mother
bird tears up over vestige of the nest
where they have thriven since birth, and
whiln tlipr omit nlniiitive shrieks the
old bird darts at them and pushes them
off the crags or rocks, and to prevent
falling they must take to their wings,
and this is how they learn to fly. It
takes three years for a young eagle to
gain its full and complete plumage and
strength.
Away up in the mountains the eagle
finds it as hard togaiu subsistence as do
the grumblers of the plain. The precari
ousness of its existence and the wild
manner in which food is gathered seem
to givo the bird ferocity as it grows
older. They range among the mountains
and valleys in pairs, their young never
following, but doing the best they can.
The stern, unsocial tyranny, beginning
with tho homeless and outcast eaglet, is
continued in later years with their
mates.
If the male bird be the stronger, the
most of the prey belongs to him, and he
allows tho female to eat a paltry share
between fierce thrusts of his beak at her.
If the feinalo is the stronger (and ehe
! generally is), the male bird cowers and
winces under many a fierce blow irom
his unfeeling wife, no matter how small
the morsel he gets. Bnt when danger
threatens, no human pair can battle so
fiercely for each' other aa can two eagles.
The breeding season begins about March,
and each male has but one mate during
his entire life. If the female is killed
or captured, the surviving male becomes
an eagle hermit and fiercer than ever.
They aro often seen near their nests
together, and when the sun is shining
take their majestio flights straight to
ward that great ball of fire until they
disappear from sight. Sitting upon the
mountain side, their vision is so keen
that they can sec, far down the valley,
a sheep or young goat, a big turkey or
rooster, a small pig, rabbit, or large
bird, and almost in the twinkling of an
eye they descend suddenly upon their
victim. One mighty grasp and a twist
of their talons and tho victim is dead,
long before the eagle lays it down for a
repast. An eagle can live two and three
days, and even five days, upon a gorg
ing meal They prey upon all sorts of
-large birds, fish, lambs, kids and goats.
Oftentimes, when a large calf or goat is
to be attacked and carried off, four or
six of them will unite and carry off the
4he carcass, when they will immediate
ly begin to fight it out to see whicn or
them is entitled to tho choicest bits, and
it is" truly a survival of the fittest in
such combats us these.
Eagles aro captured by expert moun
taineers, who spy upon tho parent bird
building her nest and wait for the
L breeding season. After a duo time tney
scale the mountains, and, well arniea
for the inevitable fight with the parent
birds, go to these mountain eyries. Of
tentimes four men are required to let
one of them down a steep precipice or
cliff, while two of them, dead shots
with the rifle, shoot and kill the old
birds upon their first approach, for it
fares ill with tho daring robber who at
tempts to secure the young birds with
none to protect but himself. In this way
are many of the old bird9 killed for the
taxidermists or for feathers, while the
eaglets are borne away and caged for a
good sale. Cincinnati Enquirer.

A prominent attorney preserves the
following document as one of the chief
curios of his office. It bears a recent
date and was written from one of the
Missouri river towns. The young wom
an referred to is the presiding genius of
the kitchen in the lawyer's home:
"Dear Sir I got acquainted with
Miss through our corresponding
with each other. She wants to marry
me. Should she suit I will not marry
her for three or four months yet. Please
find out through your wife and let me
know by return mail if she is worthy of
a good husband. '
"Is her character good? How about
her honesty and integrity? Does she
seem to like children? Is she neat and
clean? Is she tastv about her dress? Is
she gay or frivolous, or what you call
sullen? Is she wasteful in her cooking?
Is she strong and healthy? Can she hear
and talk good? Is she homely or pretty?
Is she smart? To make it short, would
ehe make a good man a good wife?
"I am a cooper by trade, a widower
with five children, and I need a woman
that's a good cook and to look after my
children. She has been working for
your wife three weeks. You ought to
know her pretty good by this time.
Anything you may say Ehe won't know
if it isn't good, unless you tell her your
self. "Is she stylish? Has she begun to
break or show edge? L ehe steady and
does she know how to please? Yon can
do me a great favor if yon take five
minutes of. your valuable time to an

Almost the last work of the Belgian
astronomer Houzeou, deceased, was an
article in which, while arguing in fa
vor of a decimal division of time, he
pointed out the origin of the double set
of 12 hours represented on our watch
and clock faces. The ancient inhabitants
of Mesopotamia chose the number 13 as
an arithmetical base because it has
four divisors viz, 2, S, 4 and 6,
while 10 has only two divisors vis,
2 and 5. They counted 12 hours in
the day and 12 in the night, measuring
the day by the progress of the sun and
the night by the progress cf the stars
across tho sky. This system, prevailing
over all others, has coiuo down to us,
and so onr watches bear on their faces
a souvenir of those ancient days when
the sun served for a clock hand half of
the tinio and the stars the other half.

The most casual glance at the col
umns of the newspapers betrays the
fact that nervous complaints, as re
cently asserted by the medical profes
sion, are greatly on the increase. Com
parison will demonstrate that we Amer
icans axe becoming, u we axe not al
ready, the most highly strung and nerv
ous people in the world.
Bnt nervousness, as expressed by va
rious well meaning citizens, seems to
be a certain resentment against noise. I
am considering the point from the van
tage or disadvantage of a layman. Is
mere noise the cause or simply the evi
dence of nervousness? That's what I
want to know. To be cleaxer, is mere
noise the creator of nervousness, or is
the universal complaint of these noises
merely the evidence of growing nerv
ousness? Most of the errors of reason
ing, I believe, axe from the confusion of
cause and effect.
When a letter carrier suddenly and
unexpectedly pipes his thin, shrill whis
tle up a vibrant hallway and causes me
to start, it is easy and natural to say he
makes me nervous. And when an ele
vated train, brakes down, approaches a
station, causing every wheel to scream
and shriek, it "sets my teeth on edge,"
and the charge is instantly filed against
the railroad company of. creating nerv

It stands on top of a mountain by the
Spanish border, near the edge of France,
and it gets along very comfortably with
out ever mixing itself in other people's
affairs, and without reading the even

morning ones. The delectable ISO govern
themselves by a council, one member of
which is selected to see that the busi
