"Word has just been received here from

in session. This will naturally be antag
onized by the silver men and the contest
will begin. The repealers expect to
have quorum present and are said to
have agreed to stand firm and follow
their leaders until the repeal is passed
or the flag lowered. 1t is believed that
the silver men will flibuster for por-
ton of the time, and when they grow
tired of this they will put one of their
men to the front to conduct the debate,
it being the agreed policy Of the repeal
men that that they will make no more
speeches, but be ready at every moment
when talk lags to insist upon a vote be-
ing taken. The repeal men have been
given to understand that the silver men
will leave but two of their number in
the Senate, one to speak, and the other
to make motions and demand the
call of the Senate when they
believe there is no quorum present. In
this way by having a relay of men on
duty the silverites expect to throw upon
the other side the burden of maintaining
quorum. While the silver men will
have opportunities to take short rests the
repeating contingent will be compelled
to be on and at every moment. The sill
yer men predict that.they can wear out
the older members in one night Some
friends of the administration fear. they
cannot hold out for even one night. Just
what the attitude of the Republicans
will be causes the Democrats some un-
easiness. Fears are entertained that
though nearly all Of them are willing
and anxious to vote on the question,
number of them may not be willing. to
remain up all night under the call of the
Democratic whip It is reported that the
President has been informed of what
Senators consider to be the true situation
and that he has insisted that this final
effort be made.

menacing the collier offices. Troops
have been sent from large garrisons to

that to furnish the information would

they are of better quality than ever be-
fore. The statistics will be compiled in

AN EPISODE.

The desires of children, like the
wishes of men, are extremely va
ried. The child who cried for the
moon, had aspirations more than or
binary.
We were coming down the Isar, in
Bavaria, on a raft, and were afforded
an opportunity of seeing how little it
takes to make some people happy.
We had passed the lower cataract and
were moving along slowly and easily,
after having been shaken up good
deal. The raft was intact, and the
raftsmen, who had feared the worst,
owing to the sudden overfowing of
the river, were congratulating them
selves. At the bend of the river we
moved quite slowly, the wide banks
afording greater opportunity for the
flowing of the mass of water.
Upon the bank, as we moved slowly
by, knelt child with golden hair. Its
hands were clasped and its eyes up
turned. 1t presenteda a pretty picture,
kneelng there in the sunlight. It
seemed strange, however, that it should
have chosen this place and time for the
purpose of prayer. The raftsmen ex-
planned the matter in few words.
''She is praying tor wood" he
said.
AS we swept on he took small
piece of pine and tossed it ashore.
The child arose in an instant with a
cry of joy, and ran and picked up the
wood. Her face was marked with
an expression of gratitude and almost
rapture, as, clasping the wood to her
bosom, she once more knelt to the
ground. Again she lifted up her
hands, and seemed to be praying more
earnestly than ever.
''She is now returning her thanks"
said the raftsman.
When we turned another bend in
the river the last we saw of the child
she was still kneeling with the wood
in her arms and her hands clasped.
Her prayer had been answered, and
her heart was overhowing with thank
fulness.

SWEET PEA CULTURE.

If the first essentials in sweet pea
culture have been complied with
that is. early and deep planting and
fairly good soil-only about two
things are necessary for future success :
plenty of water and wholesale pluck
ing of blossoms, writes a correspon-
dent. A row less than forty feet long
takes all of the washday water, in adj
dition to copious draughts between
times: the warmer the weather the
more water and bloom from early
July until frost is the result. I have
grown sweet peas for many years, and
my best success with them in this cli-
mate New Jersey has come from fall
planting of the seed. The ground is
usually in better condition at that
time than in the spring, and what en-
riching is to be done can be done to
better advantage then. / SOW late in

Burning Alive is Rare.

So defective are many of the ordi-
nary evidences of death that medical
science has given the subject great
deal of attention.
1t used to be supposed that people
were often buried alive through acci-
dent, and writer's of romance have
dwelt upon this species of horror with
much JUNCTION. During the war many
soldiers were said to have been inferred
while living who were merely in
lethargy or stupor arising from loss of
blood, exhaustion, cold and fear.
Bodies have often been found turned
over in coffins, as if the occupants had
walked up and tried to get out. In
numerous other cases of similar sort
the tongue has been discovered pro-
truding from the mouth, as if from
suffocation, and there have been stains
from bleeding on the burial clothing
Now, such facts as these were amply
sufficient in former days to convince
the most skeptical that the persons
concerned had been inferred alive.
But it is now known that such phe-
nomena are exhibited by dead bodies
under conditions wholly normal. The
turning of a corpse in its coffin is
brought about by the expansion of the
gases of putrefaction. The projection
of the tongue from the mouth is an
effect of the same cause. Bleeding
often occurs after death. In fact, such
a hemorrhage is known to have taken
place eight days after the demise of
the individual. In this instance the
bleeding was from wounds inflicted
during life. - Cincinnati Commercial

DANGERS OF DAIRYING.
bune.

Dairying is becoming as dangerous
a calling as one can engage in. Separ-
ators burst occasionally and injure
every one near them besides tearing
things happen frequently enough to
make things exciting. A new danger
has sprung up, foreman of cream
cry in Wisconsin is in danger of be-
coming sightless by the bursting of a
test bottle of sulphuric acid, while OPP
Grating milk testing machine. This
occurrence happened at the Black
Earth creamery, and the report that
informs us of it states that the man
will lose Que eye, and the other is en-
dangered. This is sad accident, and
one that leads us to assume was caused
by the use of an inferior article.
There should be some regulation gov
erning the standard of all machinery
necessary in dairying. The advent of
the creamery has made dairying large
1y "a manufacturing art, and the differ
ent States have enacted strict regula-
tions for the protection of employees
against unusual risks in other depart
ments of manufacture. This super
vision should be extended to dairying,
that the risks attending bursting separ-
ators and acid bottles may not grow
strong enough to wantonly menace
life and limb or defy regulation

A BIRD STORY.

Will you allow me to add touching
instance of courage to your pleasant
bird stories? Early one morning last
summer I was called to the window by
great noise among the bird people of
the garden, and saw the following
scene: A young b1ackbird was stand
ing fascinated by cat, who was
croucned under bush ready to spring
On him. An old blackbird, on an lex
close by, was uttering loud and agitat
ed cries and there was general cackle
OF anger and sympathy from other
birds all around. After few seconds
the cat sprang on the young bird and
held him down. At that instant the
old bird came down on them. There
was moments struggle, the bird
beating her wings violently in the cats
face, and, think, pecking at her eyes
then the cat jumped back to her bush,
the young bird made off with long
hops, and the old one flew up to the
lex, amid a jubilant chorus of com
mendation which lasted quite some
minutes. 1 never saw this before,
though L have seen a robin come quite
close to a cat stalking another bird
and scold and flap his wings in her face.
YrY1
The ways of birds are delightful,
and In a small garden you can have
many by keeping earthenware saucers
full of water for them to bathe in.

PAIR OF TBUANrs.
Little Mistress Marjorie and little Mistress
May
Wander In the garden on a summers day,
And they fall a-thinking, would it not be
grand
Could they but discover the way to Fairyland.
Down the lane they patter, with eager little
feet,
Snowy bonnets shading faces fair and sweet,
Frocks so fresh and spotless bound with
sashes gay
Dainty little maidens are Marjorie and May.
But although they wander for many, many
hours,
Peer beneath the fern-fronds, peep within the
flowers,
Ofthe land of fairies they cannot find trace,
When the sun is setting, at the close of day,
Some one finds them weeping-Marjorie and
May,
To his home he bears them, and message
sends
From the tiny truants to their anxious friends
Cheered by kindly welcome, soothed, and

Like drowsy poppy mods each weary head !;
When papa comes for them, Marjorie and

To the Land of Dreams have surely found the

EFFECT OF WIDE TIRES ON WAGONS.
It is a mistaken belief that wide
tires increase the draught of q wagon.
On the contrary, they reduce the
draught considerably, for one reason
because they prevent the wheels from
cutting down into the soft ground.
The ease to team is fully twenty-five
per cent, according to the tests made
by scientific men, and corroborated by
practical persons who have used them.
The relief to the roads from wear IS
SO much that wagons with tires five
inches in width are charged half as
much toll only as those with tires two
inches wide. In fact, wide tire acts
as roller to keep the roads smooth
and hard, and smooth, hard road is
so much easier on team as to make
the difference of one-half in its favor
as against soft, muddy road, or soft
plowed field. Thus. for farm use the
wide-tired wagon is q great economy
