ITS PROGRAMME LIGHT.

Nothing Sensational Expected to Occur
In Either House OF Con gross.
WASHINGTON, Feb. se2-The present week
in congress is likely to be uneventful. Al
though both houses will reassemble Tues
day, it is improbable that q quorum will
be present until the following day.
The Clagett-Dubois contested election
case win como up in the senate as the un-
finished bill and may consume several
days in its discussion. The Paddock food
bill is set down as the next subject for
consideration, and prolonged debate
upon the merits Of the measure is inevita-
Bile. These matters will probably occupy
the attention Of the senate during the leg
islstive week, with the possible addition
Of some interesting proceed gs in execu-
tive session in connection with pending
nominations.
When the house assemblies tomorrow,
according to an understanding heretofore.
It will begin consideration Of its first eloc-
ton contcst-that Of Craig VS.. Stewart,
from Pennsylvania. Any time In addition
to one legislative day devoted to the Indian
appropriation bill will initiate against
private bills which are entitled to engross
the whole of Friday when there Is
no matter Of privilege or great importance
before the house. Saturday is what may
be termed the open day. nothing being set
down for that day. A Democratic caucus
Is part of the programme for the week
and it is expected that in the caucus the
party policy of the remainder Of the ses-
sion on the tariff and silver question will
be discussed with vigor.

Reversible SNAKES In indIa.

A snake not often heard of, at least in
America, is the liver-colo.ei snake with
two heads, or perhaps they should be
called mouths, though it does not have
two mouths at the same time. They are
reversible mouths, occupying the opposite
end every six months. 1t lies with the
two ends crossed IN each other, as with
folded hands. Every six months the
change of the seasons reverses the fune-
lions of the two ends, the he Id becoming
the tail and the tail becoming the head.
The mouth at one end heals or closes up
all but a small opening, while the oppo-
site end becomes the mouth for the next
six months.
A friend of mine in India who told
me about this remarkable snake said he
refused for a long time to believe tat
the functions of the two ends were re-
versed every six months, but one day he
found one Of these snakes in the Jungle
and carried it home, where he had a
physician examine it. the result was

two weeks before, and had, a day or two
after his arrival, held q secret conference
with two other strangers, who came one
evening and stayed only until the next
morning.
So, despite Mr.. de Vries's protests, he
was disarned and put in charge of the
landlord, while Stiles searched his room.
A little later, he was riding toward Col
unbus beside the deputy marshal; while
ahead of them, with Mr.. de Vries's pos
sessions, drove Jem, in the buck
board.
It was not a pleasant ride for Mr.. de
Vries. He shifted in his saddle AMI
eyed the officer nervously, hoping the
latter would give him an opportunity to
break away--but none was presented.
Then Mr.. de Vries %bethought himself
of e scheme. He tapped his companion
on the shoulder.
Essay, marshal, I've got something be-
sides what's In the grip" (and he pointed
to the satchel in the blackboard, which,
Bob had found, contained a goodly por-
ton of Mr.. de Vries's inal haul).
Ths officer did not respond.
Mr.. de Vries cleared his throat and
tried again.
"suppose," he suggested, "that I
should get away, and you should find a
couple of thousand in your coat-pocket?"
No answer from his captor. They
came to the top of a hill, and, onlya few
miles away, could see the little town,
their destination, its windows rejecting
the glow of the red sunset. De Vries
was desperate. He looked down the
road; Jem was far ahead of them.
"Say, for Gods sake, man, will you
take three thousandg' he cried.
No answer.
t'Four thousand, then"
The officer began whistling softly, and
his prisoner took this as a favorable sign.
He halted.
"Marshal, look here. I've got six
thousand dollars, and no more, in my
pockets. need a thousand to get out
of the country with-you understand
that-but if you'll let me go, I'll give
you the rest. Isn't that fair?"
The officer spoke,
"Jest ride up a leetle ahead o me,
will yea" he said. stI never like t'have
a man laggin'; I want t. keep an eye on

The Chocolate Nut or Bean.

The chocolate nut or bean is the seed
of a small tree native of tropical Ameri-
ca, and now cultivated most extensively
in Efazil, Venezuela, New Granada and
trinidad, but as the trees will thrive in
almost all tropical countries their cult
vation may be extended almost without
limit. The plants are easily raised from
seed, which should be sown in nursery
rows on moist soils and then transplanted
when two or three years Old. In trans.
planting the young trees they are placed
about fifteen feet apart and shaded with
bananas or some other equally rapid
growing broad-leaved plants. Rich
bottom lands are preferred for chocolate
plantations, in order to secure plenty of
moisture at the roots. the tree comes
into bearing when five or six years old,
and oon shade the ground and crowd
out all weeds and other vegetation.
There are, however, several varieties of
this species of the cacao, some being
better fitted for dry grounds aud hilly
situations than others. The fruit some
what resembles a cucumber when grow
ing, and are from six to ten inches long,
each containing from fifty to one hun
dred seeds. When the seeds are first
removed from the fruit they are covered
with mucilage, which causes a slight
fermentation wien the seeds are placed
in heaps, as they generally are for this
purpose, in order to destroy this sticky
substance; after which they are spread
and dried in the sun, acquiring the
brown color of the beans of commerce..
No '~'evaporator'' is needed to prepare
the beans for market. The beans are
to various countries in their dry
and natural state and sold to the manu-
facturers of chocolate. Great Britain

COOKING With Iee for Fuel.

The generally accepted theory of the
cooking of meat relates to the application
of heat; bu! DR.. Sawiczeyosky has called
attention to the fact that almost precisely
the same chemical and physical changes
can be accomplished by the exposure of
animal flesh to extreme cold. Indeed, the
sensation experienced by touching fresz-
ing mercury is very much that OF a severe
bum.
Then the experimenter referred to ap.

meats, first by subjecting them to a tenn
perature of thirty-three below zero,

monotony. It is of o man who wanted

posing to a girl with whom he had been
in love for a long time. His visit was
to last a fortnight, but the last evening
came without his having had one
chance Of being alone with her during
the whole time. As he sat at dinner
(of course he was at the opposite end OF
the table to where she was), he felt the
time was fast passing away, and ia q few
hours he would no longer be in the same
house with her. When the ladies went
to the drawing-room, he would have 10

He went with the sunlight leaping
Over the hillside's rim,
And his curls were like meadow lilies
Under his wide straw brim;

His glad cheeks redder than clover
AND brown as a sunny brook
All day in the upland meadow
He swings my heart with his scythe.

Hurry thy heavy wing!
Bring scent Of his ferns and daisies,
And his whetstone's silver ring,
Aud lift the curls on his forehead
With thy fingers coy and free,
And whisper Sd low he hears not,
Whisper one though of mel
All day in the upland meadow
He swings my heart with his scyShe.

To trouble AMI watch him pass?
Does he startle the b~obolincoln
