WAsnINGToN, y. c., Nov. 2G. The
contest oyer the admission Of n. e. Butt

the Senate to-day, aud prolonged through
the afternoon and evening with every
appearance OF an all,night session. This
has been one Of the most exciting days
in The history Of the Senate. What the
final result Of the contest is going to be,
no one can tell, but the incidents OF the
session point clearly to complete rups
turc between the Republican majority
and Patterson and Conoycr-perhaps to
the immediate transfer OF the Senate to
DEMOCRATIC CONTROL.
The prospect of this exciting contest
drew a great crowd Of Visitors to the
galleries. They were jammed full, in

at least hundred members OF the house

was not in session. The scene WAS a

During the intensely hot summer OF
1925, says a philosopher, l experienced
an attack of day mare. Immediately
after dining 1 threw myself on my back
upon a sofa and before 1 was aware was

dread, and utter incapability of motion
or speech. / could neither move nor cry,
while the breath came from my chest in
broken and suffocating paroxysms. Dur
ing all this time 1 was perfectly awake
1 saw the light glaring in at the win

intense heat of the day prevailing my

even endeavored to reason myself out
of the feeling of dread which filled my
mind, and longed with an insuferable
ardor for some one to open the door and
dissolve the spell which bound me in

When to cut Wheat.

A Missouri farmer writes long and
earnest letter condemning the practice of
cutting wheat before it is ripe. With
some truth, he inculcates much error.
We have often urged farmers to teach
one another through the press; but it is
every way desirable that man should
not undertake to teach more than he
knows. The writer alluded to believes
that rust, smut, mildew, and other dis
eases of the wheat plant, come from har-
vesting wheat too soon, and thereby i'm
pairing vitality in the seed sown.
Every seed should be fully developed
before planting; but lack of moisture
at the roots of the growing and ripening
plant, even where suitable food is album
dant, may check the organization of
gluten, albumen, starch, oil, gum or su-
gar in the seeds of wheat or corn to a
degree that will ipjure them for produc-
ing new generation of the species. To
advance breed Of animals or a variety
of plants, requires something more than
ripe seed to do the needful; nor does it
follow that in case heifer or7bull be.

Most of the maladies which affect man.
beast and plant are parasitic in their ori-
gin and nature. Rust, smut and mildew
are as well knowni parasites as the small
animals that produce scab, mango and
itch, or the larger ones called ticks and
chiggers.

THE RUSSIAN IND TUR EISH MA
LISTERS 1T W4SHINGTON.

Minister Shiskin and his legation are
already on war footing, if there is any
thing in appearances. 1t is prstty gen
orally known that Shiskin is yer rystylish
and even "swelI" in his habits. He
drives about in the handsomest kind OF
an equipage, the harness of his horses be-
ing geld-mnunted. His coachman is
dressed up within an inch of his life with
gold braid, shining brass buttons and
other attractive fxlngs Instead Of
footman, he has, sitting alongside Of his
coachmaD, Russian soldier armed to
his teeth, wearing a long sword, and ?
chapeau that from the front 70 the back
is certainly three feet long. His mill
tary guard accompanies him everywhere,
the theatre, opera, etc, included.
While the minister is at his residence,
this extensively and eXtravagantly
dressed guard, in full unifom, does duty
Just inside the door, as card-bearer, an
swering all calls. When the minister
goes to the theatre, which is very fre-
quently, the guard remains at the outer
dosr of the theatre and does an imsg
mary (to a great extent) duty there un-
til his minister is ready to leave. He
then escorts him ts a carriage and takes
his seat with the coachman. Shiskin, as
well as being celebrated as a diplomat,
has very fine record as a military Off
Ger, hence, probably, his weakness for his
military guard.
On the other hand, the Turkish minis
ter Bey makes no attempt at style, and
is more American-like in his habits. He
is prominent, however, in social life, aud
figures extensively during the soceity
season. All of his legation speak fuently

A seasOnGLIe Tarning.

An exchange gives this timely sugges-
ton: Cooling off suddenly when
heated sends many of our farmers youth
to an early tomb. 1 is often matter
of surprise that so many farmers boys
and girls die of consumption. 1t is
thought that abundant exercise in the
open air is directly opposed to that dis
ease. So It's; but judgment and knowl-
edge of the laws of health are essential to
the preservation of health under any
circumstances. When overheated cool

AGRICULTURAL.

A loaf of wheat bread represents the
necessary food of all animals and all
plants without an exception; and no one
need be surprised that over two thousand
different species of animals and plants
subsist more or less on this cereal. Joint
worms, IIessian and wheat flies, weevils,
granary moths and bugs, rats and mice
are a few OF the enemies the farmer has
to fight or lose his wheat. Cutting is
grain early or late does not change the
nature of any living thing that subsists
when it can on this bread-yielding plant.
Wheat should be cut as soon as may be
when in drying the berry will not shrink
from the loss or absence of starch. What
it contracts from the loss of moisture
does no harm.

Coal oil, tar and grease kill apple, peach

living beings. When a tree has no leaves,
its circulation of air takes place through
the pores in the bark. Fetal chicks in
eggs may be killed by filing all pores in
eggs with grease, oil or paint.

Let us consider for moment the value
