WASHINGTON. May 23.-Flower Of
New York introduced bill suhjecting oleo-
margarine to the provisions OF the laws OF
the several states. Referred.
On the motion of Vendever of Califor-
mia from the committee on irrigation a
resolution was adopted calling on the sec
rotary of war for information relative to
the climate of Arizona, New Mexico, and
parts of the arid region.
Wilson OF Kentucky submitted to the
house from the committee on agriculture
a export containing his views on the bill
rep rted by the committee on agriculture,
defr ing taxing conp1uu1 of lard. From
arguments presented before the COMMITTEES
in favor of the bill, inference is drawn. the
report says that the immediate result OF
its enactment will be to i~ncreas. the va ne
on every hog in the United States 80 cants
in the farmers hands. The clam that
the depreciation in the value of swine
and lard is due to the manufacture of lard
compound, Wilson holds is not TO his
mind established The greatest injustice
to the farmer and his hog crop comes
from the unscrupulous methods OF pack
log houses and stock yards buyers, Viii
son is reluctant to enforce a measure
which he believes will either incie .sa the
price or restrict the sale of healthful food
and which would do the farmers no good.
The house then went int } n cImmitteeOf
the whole on the river and harbJr bill.
Post of Illinois offered an amendment
appropriating $25O,000 Tor securing a con
tinuous nayigable water way between
Lake Michigan and the Mississippi river
and a continuation of the survey of the
Illinois river.
Henderson objected that the committee
had not considered the proposition.
Vandever of California said that jeal-
ousy between Chicago and st. Louis had
hitherto prevented the adoption Of this
grand national project Of connecting the
lakes and Mississippi, a project which
would certainly be carried out in the end
and place Chicago at the head of MIS-
sissippi river navigation as well as in com
mand OF the lake navigation.
Hills of Illinois explained that the
Hennepin canal was entirely independent
of this proposition.
Catchings of Mississippi moved to
amend by fixing the appropriation at
1925, 900, THIS was accepted by Post,
but the entire proposition was rejected by
the house.
When the paragraph appropriatins
$500. 900 for the construction Of the Hin
OILS aud Mississippi (HennepiL) canal was
reached Turner of Georgia made a point
Of order that tie committee had no juris-
diction " 1.-THE canal.
Pendil,a '%ecision the committee rose,
and the house took a recess until evening.
The house at the evening session passed
forty-two private pension bills. Ad-
iourned.

Against the Railroads.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The inter
state commission has decided the case OF
Lehman OF Humboldt, Kan. against
the transcontinental lines for charging
higher rates on suger from San Francisco

lower than it would be except for the
conditions on the Kansas City rate.

Sensible Way. of Dressing the Hair.


Another thing in which most women
iamentably fail is the arrangement of
the hair. They are guided by the fashion
able couture. and do their best to make
all their heads exactly alike, regardless
of the distinctive style and characters
tic of each face. Every girl ought to be
at some pains to discover what suits her
best, and then remain faithful oft, with
an occasional modification to conform
the phases of fashionable headgear. Do
you not agree with mt?
fancy that many people are getting
tired of having the hair all combed up
to the top of the head. 1t is quite GER

means becoming or pretty. AS a rule, /
think the hair that grows about the tenn

| was talking recently with an English
clergyman of the Episcopal Church. who
gained his b. A. at Oxford nerly hall CEN
turv AGO. The conversation turned TO
Harvard College and the recent decoration
Of its founders statue. The reverend
gentleman said that his recOllectlOns of his
Oxford days contained plenty of cpl
sOdes Of ike nature and he ac-
cordinglv related several. Upon the
great quadrangle Of Christ Church Col
lege a number Of the halls front and up
ward Of fifty doors open. One fine morn
lng every one OF these doors, which were
of oak, was painted bright crimson. OF
course there was great agitation. but the
identity of the artists was never disclosed.
The Dean, in order TO prevent q recurrence
of the deed, stationed q Waterman IN the
quadrangle, and so well did that function
airy perform his duties that the doors were
not touched. But the students resolved
20 circumyent the Dean and outwlt the
sentinel. One evening big undergradu-
ate. who had possessed himself of flowing
gown and vic. persOnated the Dean, entered
the" Quad mac, ~ as the court is ailectiOnate-
ly termed, and approached the Waterman.

Flattered and pleased the man accepted
the invitation and went. He was gone III

OF the nifty doors was painted sunset red.

Not Much of a Traveller.
Macon lGa.D Telograph.l

One Of the most remarkable people in
Georgia is Miss Amanda Anderson. Of the
East Macon district. near the Twlggs line.
Miss Anderson is sixty years old and Is OF
perfectly sound mind. being even more
than ususally bright. Her eccentrlclty
shows itself in her desire 10 re-
main in one place and never 60
bevond certain limit. The longest
Journey she has ever made was from the
place where she WAS born 10 the place
where she now resides, q distance OF mile
and half. She lives within three miles
Of the East Tennessee. Virginia and Geor-
ola railroad, and yet she has never seen
train Of cars. Among the many other
things which she has yet TO see for the
first time are a storehouse or building
built of brick. She claims also that she
has never seen but one painted house.
Miss Anderson's ideas OF religion are
necessarily vague, as she has never been
inside a church or listened 10 sermon OF
q prayer. unless 1t was before she can re-
member, when it Is possible that her
mother carried her 20 church.
Although Miss Anderson's nearest neigh
Dor lives within 300 yards Of her she has
never seen his house but once IN three
wears. Her well ran dry last season and
she was forced TO 20 to her neighbor's well
for water. She appeared perfectly lost and
said she had some trouble IN finding her
way back home.
