tipn clause was struck out of the agri-
cultural bill in the house this afternoon.

THE PRICE OF LIFE.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The widow
and son-in-law of the late General Bar
rundia have filed with the secretary of
state claim against the United States
for $l,00O,OO0 for having surrendered
General Barrundia to Guatemalan
authorities, at whose hands he lost his
life. The claim, the petitioners say, is
based on the explicit and precise declara.
tions of the president of the United
States in his last annual message to con-
gress that Minister Miner, in issuing an
order for the surrender of Barrundia, ex-
ceeded the bounds of his authority and
acted in violation of precedents estab.
ished in similar cases, for which reason
the United States government disavowed
his act and recalled him from his post.
REGARDING AN EXTRA SESSION.
WASHINGTON, March 3.--An evening
paper has this: The president said to
a caller yesterday that the report that
he intended to send in special message
urging the passage of the federal elections
bill was not true. It would be, he said,
both superfluous and useless, it being too
late to accomplish anything in that
direction. The president said to the
same gentleman that he had no idea
that an extra session of congress
would be rendered necessary.
Az to the talked of
special session of the senate, the presi-
dent said he had no intention of calling
one. There was, he said, nothing III the
outlook of public business which would
require it. OF course, he added, some
thing of sufficient Importance to neces-
state one might unexpectedly come up,
but, 30 far as he could see, there would
be no special session of the senate. The
president then told his caller he was
going on shooting trip about a week
after the adjournment Of congress, to be
gone few days.

LIES PALlMPSEST.

Love chose face clear lighted by the soul,
And wrote on cheek and brow her thought
divine,
The stars shall vanish from the heavens wide
scroll,
Times story ends-Eternity is mine!"
Life came, and at her bidding pain and care
Blurred the fair page, its rosy hues effaced;
Hiding the tender story written there,
With heavy lines by ruthless fingers traced.
Death came and breathed upon each crossing
line,
Till, sunk in frost, it paled and vanished
slow;
And lol once more Loves prophecy divine,
From the SCARED brow, shone forth with
heavenly glow.
And when men looked upon the coffined face
They said, HE lies as in a dream of bliss:
Such calm he wore in manhood's early grace.
So smiled his lips when youth and hope were
his"
Under the down dropped lids there strangely
crept
Serener light than falls from star or sun,
And a low whisper through the silence swept,
times story ends when Loves is but be-
gunl"

Two Anxious Women.

1t was in the crowd about the door of
an overflow meeting of the w. G. T. IT,,
and the women were struggling with
the vigor born of devotion to a sacred
cause and an eager determination not to
be beaten by each or any other. One
little woman, who was much mauled
about, and who at last came to feel that
her situation was pretty nearly hopeless,
turned her face toward a pleasant look
ing stranger who was struggling by her
side to breast the human current. sob,

NOW HE is A DUKE.
Lord Harrington Succeeds to Tho
Title Of DeVOnshire.

Hc Has Long Been Prominent Figure
in English Politics, and His Con-
stancy as q Lover Has Added to His
Fame.
AT last Lord Harrington, so well
tnown by his courtesy title of marquis,
has come into the full glory of his birth
right by the death of his good old father.
The dukedom is just upon two centuries
old. Rarely has an heir had to wait so
many years as Lord Harrington has done
before entering into full possession,
though Lord John Manners, the present
duke OF Rutland, had passed his seven
tieth year before he succeeded his broth
er IN the title. The loss to the house of
commons is greater than the gain to the
house of lords by the transfer. By tenn
permanent the new duke was just born
to fit the languid upper house, yet cir
cumstances conspired to bring a degree
of stalwart manliness out of his sluggish
nature that astonished as much as it de-
lighted his compatriots Of every party.
England will sooner or later have duke
for premier, and perhaps the equal in
greatness of its "great duke" Yelling
ton.
A singular character is CLARITY"
Nothing could be more abhorrent to his
nature and taste than to pose as a hero
il any sense, least of all as hero of
romance, and yet the Fates have made
him just this very thing-a hero of ro-
nance in spite of himself. He is now
fifty-eight. The mass of his country
men persist in knocking score of years
off, so much do his ways and looks belle
his age. And they scarcely take him as

Very often the effort required in taking
care of more food than is necessary over
taxes the whole system. A smaller
quantity of nourishing food, which could
be readily digested and assimilated,
would give an increase of flesh and more
symmetrical roundness to the whole
body. An abnormal amount of flesh,
above ones average weight, is an indi-
cation of i'll health, and it may be accom-
panied by extreme weakness and inabil-
ity to work or exercise. Journal

Where Fine Pearls Come From.

The finest white pearls are from India,
the Persian gulf and Panama; the finest
black and gray pearls from the coast of
Lower California. Beautiful pink and
red pearls are often secreted by the
common creek mussels.
One valued at over $4,000 was found
near Paterson, N. j., in 1856, and quite
a number have been met with in Ohio,
Tennessee, Kentucky and Texas, and
