THE SENATE PROGRAM.
A Caucus Of Republican Senators Agree
Upon the Bills to be Considered.

4 caucus Of republican Senators was held
this morning, at which Senator Edmunds pre-
sided. 70 arrange an order Of business for the
rest Of the session. About a dozen measures
were considered to be Of sufficient importance
TO warrant them being placed on the program.
They include the anti-lottery bill, the bank
ruptcy bill, the bill for the relief of the Su-
preme Court and for the establishment OF pri-
vate land courts, the compound lard bill and
:he labor bills recently passed by the House.
The first thing to be considered is the con-
ference report on the land grant forfeiture
bill, now pending before the Senate. There
was some talk Of adjournment, but nothing
definite agreed to respecting the date. 1t was
the general opinion that until the tariff bill is
finally disposed Of day adjournment cannot be
liked

Food Preservatives.

From the Medical Journal
The use OF preservatives for articles intended
for food and drink is an importan. one, both
for the manufacturer and consumer. From q
sanitary point Of view il is doubtful whether
any Of the preservatives ordinarily added to
articles intended for human consumption
ought to be encouraged Laws exist in CONT
mental European countries prohibiting the use
of certain of these preservative agents. Sail
cylic acid is prohibited by most Of them, and
the manufacturers are there beginning the Use
Of benzoic acid, which is preservative in small
amount and is not easy to detect After a dis
cussion at q convention of chemists in Speyer,
Bavaria, on the 10th OF September. 1888, the
conclusion was reached that boric acid, rs
preservative for foods, is to be regarded with
caution. Sanitary authorities have generally
spoken in stronger forms Of the use Of boric
acid, and yet 1t enters into the composition Of
large number Of the preservatives Of the
market Hirschsohn gives q description of
several different boro-glycerines which he
recommends for preserving foods. Boro-
glycerine 10 prepared by heating glycerine
with boric acid in the proportion Of l24
Of the former to 100 OF the latter. He
also recommends sodium, calcium and mag
nesium glycero-borates. These compounds
are mostly tasteless, and quite soluble in
water and alcohol Magnesium borate il
recommended as q remedy in throat affections
n X Rosen recommends the following method
for preserving meats: Boric acid or its salts
are dissolved in water and the solution il then
frozen. The article to be preserved 10 then
covered with this ice, With the result that the
meats are pr eserved after the ice meta DIR.
L. PoleLske has made ar investigation OF ten
commercial prese1 natives intended for meats
Three OF the ten contained sulphurous acid
o. sulphites; two contained borax and i've
boric acid; one each contained alum arsenious
oxide; saiycylio scid and free phosphoric acid:
two contained glycsrine and two boro-glycer-
inc; three contained nitre and six Common
salt. The ono cor tanning arsenious oxide was
the only one actively poisonous, but several of
the others were decidedly Objectionable. In

THE TARIFF BILL PROGRAM.

Life Among Hudson Bay Indians.

From Forest and Stream.
No tent was carried even in the coolest
weather, and it was often 40 degrees below,
with snow five feet deep. A hole was dug down
in the snow with q snow shoe, which makes an
excellent snow shovel Some poles were then
slanted over the hole, thrust into the snow on
the sides; against the poles boughs we're piled
and the loose snow was heapcd over these. A
warm hut was thus made, at the bottom of
which the fire was mads. We usually put the
dogs back Of US in the hut and that kept Us
warmer. We always carried an extra deg along
to replace any that might be crippled in one
Of the numerous fights they were always hay
ing. The log houses Of that country had floors
made OF puncheons and the hinges on the
doors were made CT rawhide. The logs were
usually of spruce and the chinking was OF moss
and mud. The chimney was built inside OF
frame Of four poles. hay rope, covered
thick with mud, was wound round and round
aud the chimney built up i'll this way It dried
very haI d and made good chimney. We had
no brick and very little iron.
The Indians of that country ivsd through
the winter in bail tepees, with little clothing
have seen Indian children playing in the
snow bare-footed and bare-lsgged, and they
seemed happy, and sith the thermometer 40
degrees below zero. The squaws carried their
babies in sort Of bark packing basket, with .
hoop across the face to save the baby's nose in
case Of trouble. They packed the baby in it
with three or four inches OF moss around it,
blanket, and once in it was liable to stay in for
three or four days. The Indian women were
usually short and uncomely, but among the
haif-breeds there were some fne-looking
women. Morality was Lndreamed of, and mar
riage practically not known. Men would trade
or sell wives for some such consideration as
steel trap, and that was all the divorce there
was to 1t. The women seemed Just as well
pleased, and, indeed, all that sort OF thing was
viewed In happy-go-lucky light, 20 that IL was
easy to get u squaw for q paddler or wood
chopper on any long journey, pretty much re-
gardless OF her age or previous condition Of
servitude. These squaws used to make pecu-
liar sort OF blanket, very warm. They cut
rabbit skins into long strips and then wove
them together, just as one would bottom,
cane-sest chair. This made Q fur fabric two
or three inches thick, but it was not very
pleasant on sc:ount Of the shedding Of the hair.
Worth Their Weight In Pound Notes.
From the London Court Journsl
Many parents are apt to consider their
daughters worth their weight in gold, but
Scotch gentleman estimated his two daughters
value at even higher rate than this, bequeath-
ing to each her weight in 81 notes. The elder
seems tc have been slimmer than her sister,
for she got only E5i, 200, while the younger re-
ceived f55, Sl4.

singing alliance songs which seemed to

lecture on this occasion as II ever was

verdict was, "I have been doubly paid In

work for the cause in this county. His
method Is not TO antagonize but harmon
