Wol comes from Senator Beck, the
leader OF the Democrats on the Finance
Committee, that he is working hard,
despite the peremptory orders from his
physicians not to do so. Mr.. Beck has
been notified that the Republicans
really mean to bring in bill, and he is
preparing the minority report, SO fur us
he can without knowing exactly what
the provisions OF the Senate bill are to
be. Hell using the Mills bill MS guide,
and preparinga defense Of it to offset
the Republican attack OF that measure.
He has some able assistants with him
in his retreat, including his old friend
and adviser, MIR. "Parsee" Moore.
On what date the bill will get into the
Senate and how long it will be discussed
there appears TO be no one who knows.
There are no rules governing Senate de-
bate, and Senators can talk for u week or
two weeks as they please, so that the
question OF adjournment is uncertain.
The sub.Finance Committee inform
ally considered to-day the matter OF how
their bill shall be made public. They
do not seem disposed to follow the ex-
ample Of the Ways and Means Commit.
tee Of the House, which made its bill
public at the time it was reported to the
full committee, but think, in view ofthe
fact that the political campaign is well
under way, it would be better to keep
their bill from the public until it is re-
ported to the Senate, and make both the
majority and minority report public at
the same time.

sick with any of the diseases was al
lowed to attend school, if his illness
was of not sufficiently severe type to
keep him in bed, and parents who
feared contagion had to keep their own
children at home. The result of this
carelessness often was that every child
who had not previously had the disease
was attacked, and when scarlet fever
and canker-rash once got in school
district its course could often be traced
by deafness, blindness, even loss of
reason, as well as by numerous deaths.
We may congratulate ourselves that
the world has grown wiser now, and
that the authorities take precautions
against such wholesale destruction of
life and senses. The good results of
such precautions are seen in the fact
that in many towns where one or two
cases of scarlet fever or diphthera of
the most malignant type occur no other
family is brought into the affection

Brides who Perch In Trees.

Among the Lolos of western China it
is customary for the bride on the we'd
ding morning to perch herself on the
highest branch of tree, while the
elder female members of her family
cluster on the lower limbs, armed with
sticks. When all are duly stationed
the bridegroom chambers up the tree,
assailed on all sides by blows, pushes
and pinches from the dowagers, and it
is not until he has broken through their
fence and captured the bride that he is
allowed to carry her off. Similar diff
cuties assail the bridegroom among
the Monaghan Koraks, who are in the
habit of celebrating their marriages in
large tents divided into numerous sepa-
rate but communicating compartments.
AT given signal, as soon as the guests
are assembled, the bride starts off
through the compartments, followed by
her wooer, while the women of the en-
campment throw every possible i'm
pediment in his way, tripping up his
unwary feet, holding down the curtains
to prevent his passage and applying
willow and alder switches numerically
as he stoops to raise them. AS with
the maiden on the horse and the virgin
on the tree-top, the Korak bride is in
variably captured, however much the
possibilities of escape may be in her ia

A Puzzle OF Photography.

A Photographic puzzle is now agitat-
ing the minds of professional and anna
teur photographers of Philadelphia.
The puzzle consists in the fact that in
a group of eighteen people recently
taken by local artist the objects be-
hind the sitters appear in faint out
lines, as if the bodies of the sitters
were diaphanous. In some few cases
the appearance of the outlines of the
doors and panels against which the
people were standing can be explained
on the ground that there was mo-
mentary movement in which the cam
era caught and reproduced the picture
of the object. But the "poser" is the
case of the lady who sat in the center
of the group in a wicker-work arm
chair. The twisted outlines of the
chair-back are distinctly visible through
the neck and body of the sitter with
clear-cut distinctness. The photo
grapher can not understand it, and the
amateur photographers society has
tried in vain to solve the mystery.
The phenomenon is contrary to the
recognized laws of optics and is be-
lieved never to have occurred before.
1t casts the esprit photograph " of a
few years ago far into the shade.-ET.
