MT. Betty addressed the Senate on the subject OF
the Presidents annual message. He spoke OF the
universal interest awakened by the bold and fear
less manner in which the system Of federal
taxation was discussed In that message and said
that the time could not much longer be delayed
when some change must be made In that system.
When fairly canyasSed and understood It's injus-
aiee @ would Sne oelievedl necessitate change Tan
present system was utterly indefenslble; it
was fundamentally wrong in principle, and
d0ubly wrong IN its details. As to the proposition
o. the protectiOnlsts 10 repeal the taxes on
whisky, beer and tobacco. he expressed himself
as entirely opposed to 1t.
AT the close OF Mr.. Berrys speech the Senate
proceeded to the consideration OF bills ON the
calendar, only those being taken up to which
there was no objection.

PAST FINDING OUT.
The Ways of a Woman Armed with an
 Umbrella or Parasol.


 Umbrella or Parasol
 Among the things enumerated by Solo, mon as past finding out should have been included the way of a woman with an um- Dre1la; and he who observantly walks the streets 1n these days, when every member or the softer sex carries sunshade, will feel that the author of Ecclesiastes missed a golden opportunity in not being able to add this item to the list of things too wonderful for him.
 The woman with an umbrella, in the first place, says writer Tn the Boston Courier, assumes that the sidewalk is laid down for her sole and especial use. With certain oriental potentates the umbrella is sign of authority in virtue of which all beholders are expected to understand that it is their duty to make way and give the road to the exclusive use of the high and mighty lord of the umbrella In virtue of scme subtle lnstlnct the moment a woman takes in her hand sunshade and walks abroad, all the oriental significance of that insignia seems to impress itself upon her soul, and she goes forth to take posses sion of the streets that have become hers by right. Unfortunately she lacks the guards which are provided to en- force respect to the unfurled umbrella of the potentates she initiates, and she is, therefore, obliged to do her own fighting But with what glorious and effective zeal she does it! How men who venture rashly to como in her way are swept aside, their hats knocked in the dust, their eyes prodded, their faces scratched by the points with Which the circumference of the para sol bristles. How women who presume to display like signs of rank are hustled, banged and drowned upon, and with what rancor rival sunshades clash together. The amount of vim woman can put into the thrust she gives to the sunsAade of another woman goes far to redeem the charge of weakness and physical inferlority.
 The result of the triumphal progress of women with sun-umbrella is disastrous. Her path is strewed with wrecks. Blas- pheming men pursue their hats along the pavements; women whose headgear has been disarranged or whose rlval umbrellas nave been slit or hustled, boil with rage as they look for victims upon whom they may in turn wreak similar indignities Every where indignation, wrath, devastation and general demoralization testify to the com pleteness of the work and the might of the woman with the umbrella

The Lebel ProjeetiIes,

"The song died away in the distance before moved, I had hardly opened my lips dur ing the interview, and now had much ado to believe it @ reality But the newly~turfted grave was voucher enough for this. A horror of the place seized me; I cast one shuddering look at the giant face and rushed from the spot, leaving the silent creepers to veil once more that awful likeness from the eyes of day
 As I emerged upon the track again I came upon Peter and Paul. who were seeking me high and low with dismay written upon their faces. Excusing my absence as best I could, declared myself ready in spite of my ankle, to make all haste in the descent Of our journey down the Peak need say little. except that, lame as I was, I surprised and exhausted my guides in my hurry Of the dangers and difficulties which had embar- rassed our ascent I seemed to feel nothing, Except in the cool of the forest, the heat was almast insufferable; but would hear of no delay until we reached Ratnapoora. Here, instead of returning as..we had come, we took n boat down the Kalu-ganga river to Cattura, and thence travelled along the coast by Pen tQra to Colombo.
