From Wednesdays Daily.1
WASHINGTON, Dec 18.-The territorial
bill didn't come up to-day.
In the senate the bill to permit the con-
struction of a free bridge across Red river
in Dakota was reported from the commit
tee on commerce and passed. The house
committee on public lands to-day ordered
a favorable report on the bill to allow per-
sons who have been compelled to abandon
or relinquish their homestead entries on
account of drouth or other good cause, to
take out another entry in place of the
abandoned claim. A favorable report was
also ordered on the senate bill to establish
three additional land Offices in Colorado.
The house committee on Indian affairs
to-day agreed to report favorably on the
bill recently introduced by Delegate Gift
ford of Dakota amendatory of the law pro-
viding the REIMBURSEMENT of the Indians
title to the remainder.
This afternoon Senators Morrill, and
Sherman for the republicans and Senators
Vest and Harris for the democrats had a
conference upon the question OF adjourn
ment for the holidays, but they came to no
agreement and will meet again tomorrow.
The indications now are that the senate
will adjourn for about ten days and that
until the adjournment two daily sessions,
beginning at II a. m. and D. m. will be
held.
A new movement towards the woman
suffrage was begun in the senate this
morning. Senator Dawes introduced q
bill to remove all political disabilities of
Harriet H. Robinson of Middlesex county,
Massachusetts, and to declare her citizen
of the United States with all rights and
privileges of citizenship, including the
privilege of voting and being voted for.
Referred.
The House.
The republican caucus decided to con-
tinue with the tariff bill till disposed of and
afterwards take a holiday recess.
During a debate in the house to-day there
was short, but spicy debate on the adj
ministra,ion. Henderson of Iowa charged
the administration with violating the
spirit of the civil service law. The COM
missloners were defended by Mcmillan Of
Tennessee, while Cummings and Spinola
made a fierce onslaught on civil service
law, and advocated the amendment strik-
ing out all appropriations.

THE King of the Belgians ex-
pressed to deputation from the

his power to protect his Congo
subjects from the dreadful .yil of
strong drink, and he invoked the CO.

Europe and America in the attempt to
suppress this most injurious traffic.
IT is stated in the London press that

Temperance lines, and the results have
been highly gratifying Work has pro-

MEN who once form taste for drink
have about as impossible task stop

would try to stop eating. One may
live without food for day, two, five
or even ten days, but at last he must
yield or die. So drunkard may stop
drinking for time, but at length the
taste for it comes back with such force
that all the restraining influences Of
his better nature, friends, pledges and
resolutions, can not hold him and he is
compelled, only in exceptional cases,
when Divinely restrained, to yield to
the destroying viper, which is as
strong as Death EriStjan Inquirer.

JAPANESE WORSHIP.
Painted Priestesses in Quaint Garments
Performing the Sun Dance.

Painted Priestesses in Quaint Garments
Performing the Sun Dance.
A group of young priestesses are in
waiting to repeat the measures danced
by Uzume before the Sun Goddess cave
in prehistoric times. The little priest
esses are all between the ages of ninA
and twelve, as timid, gentle and harm
less little things as the deer that ofteN
stray in and watch them. Their dre.N
is the old, old custom of the imperiss
court, a picturesque lower garment 4
divided skirt of the brightest cardina
red silk that half covers the whit
kimono, with square sleeves an
pointed neck filed up high with altet
nate folds of red and white.
When they dance they wear over tht
loose kimonos of white gauze, paintet
with the wistaria crest of the Kasugk
temple, the front of the gauzy Carmen,
half covering the red shirt, and tn.
back pieces trailing on the mats. Thei
faces are plastered so thickly witt
white paint that they lose all exprel
sion, and following the old fashiolI
their eyebrows are shaved and twt
tiny black dots high up in the middle
of their foreheads take their place.
With lips heavily rouged the counten-
ance is more a mask than any thing
human. The hair is gathered together
at the back of the neck and tied with
loops of gold paper, and then folded in
soft white paper, allowed to hang down
the back. Long hair-pins, with clusters
OF wistaria and red camellia, are thrust
across the top of the head, and fastened
80 that they stand out like horns over
the forehead.
In detail the costume is not pretty,
bat in its general effect it is singularly
bright and picturesque Toxic Letter.

DRESSING POULTRY.
How to Prepare Fowl for Market in a
Very Short Time.

HOW TO Prepare q Fowl Tor Market In q
Very Short Time.
To dress fowl with the least trouble,
hang it up by the feet so that it will
drop a convenient height, and attach a
wire hook to the under beak of the
fowl, to which hang halfa brick. Sever
the jugalar vein with a sharp knife,
and proceed to pick, holding the wings
with one hand while you pick with the
other. Work quickly. Get most of
the feathers off the breast side with
three or four hand pulls, and change
the wings to the other hand held
across the breast of the fowl, and with
few pulls get most of the feathers off
the back. Grasp one wing at a time,
and pull out the long feathers at one
stroke. Then finish up the picking en-
tirely before the fowl is taken down.
When done, chop off the head, take
sharp knife and cut through the skin
around the vent, being careful not to
sever the intestine. Pull gently, and
as the intestine comes out insert the
forefinger and bring out the intestines
rapidly, but do not break them. Get
them out of the gizzard, and break off
there by the thumb and forefnger, and
your fowl is ready for market. If you
wish to make ready to cook, the hole
must be slightly enlarged and the giz-
card pulled out, cut open and the inner
lining removed, with all gravel, food,
of A S1it to11St ba n, o1a in, bN bpaoct
and the crop removed, which should be
empty when the fowl is killed. Some
people remove the lungs. 1t is not
necessary. The heart should be re-
moved and washed, as some clotted
blood is usually around it. The opera
ton of preparing a fowl for market can
be done by an expert sometimes in
three minutes, -Amorica's AgrjcuItur-

Growing and Drying Nutmegs.

A writer who has explored New
Guinea describes the nutmeg region.
Upon a fine piece of table land he
came upon three houses erected in the
very heart of the forest. These were
used by the natives for drying the nut
megs. THE country was everywhere
magnificent, and the aroma of the
spice-laden air delicious. Nutmeg and
other equally valuable trees were
everywhere growing in great profusion.
The fruit of the nutmeg IN appearance
resembles a pear, and whom ripe opens
and displays the NUT covered with a
beautiful red coating of mace. The
nuts are then picked and taken to the
houses, where they are husked and
placed on shelves. They are then
partly roasted over a slow fire until all
the moisture is extracted, after which
they are cooled and sent to market. -

FARM AND FIRESIDE,

Pastures should not be fed too
close. If there is a rainy spell, apply
any good fertilizer; include plaster and
ashes in the list-F'arm, Field and
StOcbn1dn.
Peaches for canning should be ripe
but not at all soft, not even mellow.
They will be frmer when cooked and
have much more of the peach flavor,
than when allowed to get too ripe.
Peas and beans should be left on
the vines until the pods are well
wrinkled, then picked and spread I'M
til they are quite dry. If there are
too many to shell by hand they may be
threshed out with fail, and should be
kept in a dry place.
"A South Carolina farmer recently
found specimens of two kinds of
strange grass in his meadow, and sent
them to the State agricultural depart
ment for classification. The officials
were unable to name the grasses and
sent them on to Washington, and they
proved to be timothy and red top.

Water should be given to hogs in
limited quantities, and it should be
warm enough to have the chill taken
from it. By following this course there
will be less disturbance of digestion.

The best time to apply manure to
grass lands depends somewhat upon
circumstances. AS rule, late in the
fall or just before the ground freezes is
the best time; if hauled out in winter
and spread upon the snow, very good
results may follow, provided the land
is not so sloping as that when the snow
melts, the manure is not washed away.
If hauled out and spread in the spring,
and dry weather follows, the manure
is like to be so dried up and burned
that the results will not be satisfactory,
but if heavy rains follow we may ex-
pect quite the reverse.

In a manufacturing town in England.
L was preaching there every evening,

after a sermon on this very subject of
drunkenness. He came ina fine man,

dressed shabbily; scarcely shoe to
his feet, though it was a wet night.
He came in to me excitedly after the
sermon, but the excitement had some

history. i don't know, he said, that
there is any hope for me; but still, as
