to Vests Resolution.
WASHINGTON, Aug. J4-Senator Mitch
ell. of Oregon, introduced in the senate a
resolution in the nature of an amendm mt
to the resolution offered by Vest last week
to maintain the parity of gold and silver

among civilized nations, and that the mere
probability of change of our customs rev.
enue laws in accordance with the declara-
tion of the late Democratic platform has
plunged the country iIeo its present un-
fortunate industrial and financial condi-
tion, resulting in closing factories, stop
ping the wheels of industrial enterprises,
running credit, creating financial distrust
and panic, and throwing hundreds of thou
sands Of laborers out of employment.

Why some Women Grow old.

One reason why the average woman wears out, grows old and plain before her husband, is that through mis- taken idea of duty she lays out for her self at the beginning of her married life scheme or plan of duty and em- ployment for her time every hour filed with rare and short periods for relaxa- ton. This she follows religiously for years, feeling that she has done her duty, because every household event occurs regularly and on time, while she soon becomes a machine, a thing without life of itself or volition She settles into her rut and goes round and round on the same track everlastingly. Can any woman keep brightness, origi- nality of thought and speech, or even mere prettiness, with such a life, and without those things how can she keep her husband and growing children full of the loving admiration which is the sSongest chain by which she can bind them to her? How bright and jolly the neighbor's wife seems when she calls In nine cases out of ten it is because the surroundings and talk of your home are variety to her. and rouse her to origi nality and brightness of speech. IT her own rut she may be as dull as ditch water.-Donahoe' Magazine.

CONGRESSIONAL PROGRAMME.
The Most Important Matter This Week
 VIII Re the Tariff Rln


 r Will Be the Tariff Bill
 WAsm NGToY, Dec 1.-The second week of the second session of the fifty-third congress will mark the placing of the first mil estone on the long road to the tariff revision. And effort is also likely to be made to re- deem another platform pledge in the repeal of the federal election laws. The senate is to be the scene of the attempt, and the leader will be Senator Hill, of New York. MT. Hills plan will be to sub init the house bill for the bill reported from the senate judiciary committee. In this he is certain to meet with con siderable opposition from the repub- licans, who take the ground that the senate bill was not regularly acted upon in the judiciary committee-all but one of the republic members being absent when it was ordered to be reported. Therefore, under Mr. Hoar's lead, they will insist that She bill be referred to the committee on privileges and cleo tions for mature consideration and re- port If their insiskance upon this point is pronounced, it is proba ble that the democratic managers will assent to the reference.
 In the event that the president should send to the senate the Hawaiian cor respondence called for by the resolu- tiQn, there will be lively debate as the republican senators are disinclined to permit the matter to be discussed in the secrecy of an executive session.
 The business of the house will de- pend largely upon the disposition that is to be made of the tariff bill The present expectation is that the bill will be reported to the house on Wednes- day. At the present writing it is hard ly probable that the republican mem- bers of the committee &ill have fin ished their report by that time, and as matter of courtesy to the minority the discussion may be postponed until the following Monday.
 The appropriations committee have their work well in hand. The sub committees have, in most cases, com pleted the details of the duties assigned to them, and the chairman says several of the bills can be reported at few days notice.
 The urgency deficiency bill will be ready to report to the house not later than Wednesday, and if it be not antag- onfzed by the tariff bill will at once be taken up for discussion. The fortifica- tions bill is in such shape that it, too, can easily be reported the latter part of the week. If this measure be called up immediately it will hardly be dis posed of in less than two days, which will probably leave but little opportu- nifty for the consideration of any other measures during the week.

South American Shrubs Which Produce
 Lactesceut Fluids.
 Dr. Spruce, the renowned South American traveller, mentions a tree, a member of the dog bane family, the juice of which is us as milk. On the bark beinr wounded the milk flows abundantly, and is of the consistency of cows milk, of the purest white, and sweet to the taste. The Indian mode of taking it is to apply the mouth directly to the wound, and thus re- ceive the milk as it flows. Dr. Spruce says he has often partaken of it with out experiencing any ill effects
 In Guiana, the natives employ the milk from tree belonging to the same family as the last named, in the yer nacular it is known as hyahya, and to botanists as Tabernaemontana utilis (so named after Jacobus Theodorus Tabernaemontanus, a German physi- clan and botanist). The milk has the same flavor as sweet cows milk, but is rather sticky, on account of its con- 'taining some caoutcho0c.
 In Para, a lofty tree, belonging to the star apple family, attaining a height of one hundred feet is used in a similar manner to the others men. toned. Incisions are made in the bark, and the milky juice flows ou, copiously, about the conscience ot thick cream, and if it were not for its taste, which is somewhat peculiar could be hardly distinguished from it Chambers Journal

The work of fourth-class postmasters sub- ject to removal for partisan cause is cited in comparison with that of railway clerks to show the advan- tage of the system of choosing the lat ter. The extension of the classified service to the weather bureau has not been in effect long enough to justify a statement upon it's effect No appre- hension is expressed, however, that it will not be beneficial.
