FoRTIFTCATIoNs BILL.
Senator Dolph Criticises the Commit.
tees Action.

tees Action.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The fortifica-
tions bill came up in the Senate this after
noon, and Senator Dolph of Oregon
severely criticised the committee having
it in charge for reducing certain Pacific
coast appropriations and increasing 9TH
ers in different parts of the country, for
which there was no necessity, in his
opinion, viz: The reducing of the appro-
priation from 100000 to $4,000 for the
purchase of submarine mines and neces-
sary appliances TO operate them for clos
ing channels leading to our principal sea-
ports; the reduction from 500, 600 to $50
600 for needful classmates and cable gal
leries to render it possible to operate sub
marine mines; also, for striking out an
appropriation of $4,000 for the Improve
ment of the torpedo station at Yerba
island, and for cutting down the appro-
priation for the construction of gun and
mortar batteries At New York. San Fran
cisco and other harbors from 81 600 600 to
S756.00
He said that the excuse offered.by the
committee for making these reductions
was a poor one. They contended that
they were rendered necessary in order to
increase others OF greater importance
Senator Dolph said that the appropria-
ton OF 100000 fer cast-iron sea coast
mortars hooped with steel, was made by
the committee, III the face OF the expert
testimony of General Benet and all the
other witnesses of the War Department
who had ever testified on thesubject. who
We're unanimously of the opinion that
cast-iron guns hoped with steel were
treacherous. and that steel guns should
be employed.
Dolph understood that there was now
on hand an unexpended balance of $780,
GOO from last years appropriation, which,
with Si00, 900 proposed to be appropriated,
would make n total OF $500, 600 for cast
iron guns, which had been characteriZed

SAVE YOUR EYES.
A Series of Good Suggestions For the
Use of Visual Organs.


Use of Visual Organs.
I never read by dim light. 1t is a
common habit Tor children and even
grown people to read between daylight
and dark, or in the darkened corner of q
room. The strain thus produced is often
sufficient to impair healthy eve, and
weaken one that is diseased.
Never read or write with the light
shining directly in the eye. The light
should either be covered by shade or be
placed above and behind the reader
shining over the left shoulder if the per-
son is right-handed. In this way the
page will be illuminated, and the bright
rays of the light will not enter the eve
and so irritate it.
Do not read lying down. 1t is an I'M
natural position, for it requires an extra
strain on the muscles of the eye, and
favors congestion of those organs.
Do not read or write with the head bent
far forward. 1t is Il common practice for
young people to lay the book on table
bend over it, and, with face close to the
page, continue reading or writing for a
long time This position causes an in
creased flow of blood to the eyes and
head, producing symptoms of weakness
and increasing any existing near-sight-
edneSs q ~
Avoid reading on the cars or when
riding in q carriage. The strain made
necessary in the endeavor to overcome
the unsteadiness of the page and to see
distinctly is often sufficient to cause a.
great injury to an eye.
Avoid bringing the book loo near the
eyes. Hold it as far as the print is dis
tinct and clear-about fourteen to sixteen
inches; but do not carry itiso far AWAY
that it is an effort to see clearly When
the book is brought too close to the face
an undue strain is required both 1lpon

as incompatible with steel guns, and
were. in fact, treacherous and almost
worthless. The committee had not paid
the slightest regard to the expert testi-
nlony in this regard, but had reduced the
appropriation for the purchase of oil
tempered and annealed steel for high
power coast defense guns from 81 ZOO, 0G0
to $500, 600, and had increased by 100 per
cent. the appropriation for worthless cast
iron mortorS.
Dolph then alluded to his amendment
introduced last session providing for an
appropriation of Sl00,0 goo for the erection
OF an assembling foundry for high-power
guns at some point on the Pacific
Coast, and to appoint an army or navy
board to select a site for the same. the To-
cation to be approved by the President
before the appropriation was made avail
able. He said that instead of adopting
his amendment, Congress had seen fit to
employ this language: ga board to in
quire into the advisability of erecting
gun factory for furnishing and assembling
high-power guns to be mounted in forti-
fications at Benicia, Cal, or at the Rock
Island Arsenal, or at the indianapolis
Arsenal, or at some point near the Gulf
Coast
Dolph said that the army board had
construed this clause to mean if a gun
foundry was to be located on the Pacific
Coast IL was restricted to Benlcla. lie
contended that the location should not
have been restricted to Benicia, but that
other sections of the coast should have
been given chance. He said that his
amendment of last session had been rein
PRODUCED and reported favorably from the
Fortitications Committee, and being re-
ferred to the Appropriations Committee,
the latter had seen fit to pigeon-hole it.
He said that he would not let the matter
drop there, but would call it up again
while the Notifications bill was under
consideration, and endeavor to have his
amendment adopted by the Senate.
Senator Dolph said to night to the Cali
fornia Associated Press representative
that he fully expected to defeat the
amendment in the appropriation bill call
ing for pot-metal mortars held together
by steel bands. That in his speech to-
day he did not give the matter the atten-
ton he would have done had he thought
there was any probability of the amend
ment prevailing. He insists that the eX-
penditure of last year of $3,G07 800 for the
manufacture of guns by private parties,
and the amendment of this year calling
for s, 250,000 to be expended in the same
way is injudicious. He said that with
this large sum of money the Government
could establish it's own gun foundry.

AN EDIBLE WEED.
Common Pussly Famed Out Well for an

Common Pussly Famed Out Well for an
 Ohio Ex-ConGressman.
 One of the most abundant and most toothsomc plants is the homely weed called pussly, says writer in the New York Herald. As a table vegetable it is not to be despised. The succulent stems, with their leaves, are boiled ten der and dressed with butter, the same as spinach. The French market gar deners cultivate it regularly and have different varieties. The young plants are used as a salad and arc very good when served with d bacon dressing and one or two hard-boiled eggs chopped fine and sprinklcd over the salad. Puss- ly flowers are sometimes called wax pinks. When the plant is full grown the thick. flcshy stems are stripped of their leaves, tied into punches and served as asparagus. The leaves are cooked as spinach and by many are con- sidcrcd superior to that vegetable.
 A story is told of Benjamin Le Fevre in connection with pussly. At his Ohio home the genial ex-congressman had a
 
 cultivated the more luxuriantly grew pussly. He finally gave up the attempt at gardening and permitted the pussly to monopolize the premises. He was one day bcmoaning his ill luck at try ing to raise vegetables from govern ment seeds, and was roundly accusing the agricultural department of putting up packages of pussly seeds instead of beet seeds, when friend informed him that as an article of food the pussly was more valuable than the beet. Whereupon the distinguished gardener telegraphed to his head man to weed out the beets and cultivate the pussly. The order was carried out. much to the surprise of the man of all work, who had never before heard of anyone eat inr DuSslv

Her Influence on the World and Her

 The intellectual woman," who is so well informed, and is so anxious to have you know it, always reminds me of q lccli, useful but tear-starting, writes Ella Wheeler Wilcox in the Ladies' Home Journal. She has thought on every subject under and over the sun, and has formed her convictions on all matters, and the instant you broach a subject she hastcns to assure you that she knows all about it. She sometimes possesses handsome features, but her too active intellect has sharpened them, and hued away the curves of beauty. She is inclined to dress severely, and to wear very digniiied bonnets. She thinks out her answers a sentence ahead of your remarks, and waits for you to fin ish with mere tolerance. Her women friends speak of her with great respect as ''such an intelligent person" and the clergyman of her faith is the only man who ever bestows any voluntary atten- tion upon her. Her husband considers her remarkably intelligent woman,-- but he is given to dining at the club a great deal, and meekly acknowledge that he cannot hold candle to his wife in brain.
