Night Sessions in Congress.

Might sessions for debate only" are
the greatest curiosities of congressional
session. No vote can be taken ct them
and no call for quorum made, and as a
consequence very few members attend ex-

leries are always empty except for the
regular crowd of hearers who huddle In
the mems seats near the clock, and even
the pages and doorkeepers talk politics IN
the lobby to keep themselves awake until
the lights go out. There have been in

to say that there was no objection to the

The Bashkirs are renowned for their
skill in making koumiss, or fermented
mares milk, which is now extensively
consumed by patients suffering from dys-
peptic and wasting diseases, and SO easy is
it of digestion that invalids drink ten,
fifteen, and occasionally even twenty
champagne bottles a day, while Bashkir
is able to overcome couple Of gallons at
a sitting, and in hour or two to be ready
for more. To insure good kouIniss it Is
essential that the mares be of the steppe
breed. and fed ON steppe pasture. They
are MIXED from four to eight times a day,
the foal being kept apart from the mother,
and allowed to suck only in the night
time The mare will not give her milk.
however, unless at the time Of milking
her foal is brought to her side, when such
IS the Joy of reunion that after sundry
acts of loving and smelling and kissing,
the maternal feeling shows itself by her
sometimes giving milk from both nipples
at once.
Milking is done by tho Bashkir women
who, taking position close to the hind
legs of the mare, rest on one knee, and on
the other support pail directly under the
udder, pulling at each nipple in turn, and
receiving from three to four pints each
time OF milking. To make koumiss the
milk is beaten up in churn (bu: not suffi-
GENTLY to produce butter), and by fer1nen-
tation is converted after twenty four
hours into weak koumiss, from which con.
dition after twelve hours more it passes
into medium degree of strength, whilst
strong koumiss is produced by assiduous
agitation of the milk for two or three days.
and it is then said to be slightly intoxica-
ting.-Henry Lansdell. ID, in Harper's

Some Things We Don't Know.

We may come down from our pedestal
for little-there are still two or three
things that we don't know. We do not
know, for instance, how many of our kind
there are on this globe. 1t Is, after all,
but very small portion of the world that
we know anything about. and the beaten
path is but as trail on a mountain. The
interior of Newfoundland is terra in
cognita; Manitoba is comparatively IN
trodden waste there are Islands In tho
Pacific Of which we know nothing, more
than that they exist; China and Thibet
are largely closed volumes, and about
many other portions of this world there is
as much guess work os there was in the
days of Marco Polo We cannot tsll why
of two exactly similar bulbs put ;rto pre-
cisely similar soil one should bloom out
as tulip and the other come out as an
onion. We do not know how the flowers
receive their color or perfume. nor why it
is that while we can catch the shadow in
the camera we cannot also imprison the
color
There are many things. too. for which
we have not been able to frame laws. We
cannot agree as to the cause of earth
qualles, the origin of volcanic fires, or the
birth throes of the whirlwind. We do
not even know our own origin, and the
thinking world Is divided between evolu-
ton and creation We do not know even
the normal color Of man. whether we are
bleached from the dark original, or
whether the dark races are sun burnt
editions Of the early whites. Was the
food local or UNIVERSAL Did Atlantis
e1ist2 Were there giants IN those daysi
These are a few Of the many questions
that might be asked and remain unan-
swered.--San Francisco Chronicle.

Calffornia,sERafaln Graue.

The raisin industry of California prom
ises to become very important and fairly
remunerative. The climate Of the central
and southern part of the state Is most
favorable for drying the fruit, and there
Is the center of this enterprise. The two
important factors in raisin making are a
suitable variety OF grape and dry climate
one not subject to dews. fogs or rains
for weeks while the fruit is drying
Though the region Of California men
toned is not exempt from fogs and rains,
yet they are infreQuent and the necessity
of protection to the drying fruit is not ex-
perienced often enough to make that feat
ure of the work very burdensome.
The variety Of grape from which the
raisins are made is the Muscat Of Alex
andria, which Is better known to most Of
our readers as the Malaga grape of the
shops, which comes to us from Spain,
packed in cork dust. in small casks. A
white grape makes raisin of better color
than red or dark one. though in Europe
both red and black varieties are used to
some extent. In Santa Clara county, CAL,
where the temperature at the drying sea-
SON is not so high nor the air SO dry as
more southern counties. the grape growers
have resorted to the use Of dryers or evap-
orators and with success, and the practice
Is extending; many tons of raisins were
made there in that manner last year. The
method Is to expose to the sun for few
days and then remove to the evaporator
and finish up with slow heat.-Vick's 3

and whispered:
That you should love me, Mark, for
already loved you well, and I could not
read your heart.''
''Then God bless White Lady's Night"

And she answered, "Amen," as she
rose and took my arm to lead her back to
