Senator Sherman Explains the OBJ
ject Of the Three Per Cent
Amendment.
It Is to Allow the Secretary to
Issue the Bonds IL
Necessary.
Carlisle and Foster Are Said to 10 OF One
Mind In Regard to tho
Matter.

WAsHlNaToN, Feb. Ex-senator Sherman
was asked this afternoon If the resolution
he introduced yesterday to authorizs the
governments to sell three por cent Hve-yenr
bonds. TO maintain specie resumption had
any especial Significance. 1.-The legislation
sought to he accomplished" said Senator
Sherman, "has no object but that OF saving
money to tho general government. The
iesump ption act took place at time when
we could not borrow money at less than
four per cent. and it was thought to be q
very successful operation. when / was SEQ
retary OF the treasury, to be able to float
our bonds at those figures. But when the
funding act was pnssed no ono thought We
could issue our bonds at three per cent. The
object of this amendment is to authorize
the sec etary to issue bonds at 8 per cent,
if he finds it necessary to do so. 1t simply
saves the government one per cent interest
and limits the bonds to five years.'' SEN
ator Sherman in general conversation in
dicated that 1t would be exceedingly bad
policy for tho United States to issue long
term bonds nt such rates of interest az that
provided in the resumption act. simply to
tide over what he and every body else felt to
be only temporary emergency. He de-
clined to say whether he thought it would
become necessary to issue any bonds
though he did not conceal the fact
that he believed it desirable to arm
this treasury department with the
power. Senator Sherman intended
to have the bill referred to the committee
on finance. Of which he is chairman, and il
probably will be reported back to the senate
at an early day. He could not say what action
the committee would take, nor when il
would report the Amendment. In view OF
the fact that leading demooratio senators.
and Carlisle, the incoming secretary of the
treasury, have been in conference with
Foster, and that Fosters views were con-
Cured in by Carlisle, there is reason to
believe the proposed amendment will be
favorably acted upon. although the issue OF
bonds. if issued at all, will be postponed as
long as possible,

There is no more unreasonable fash
ion (for it must be called fashion) than
to deck baby or very young child in
mourning garments. The wearing of
black is an expression of the feeling
of the wearer, and while eminently
proper for mourner, has absolutely
no significance when put on to a child
too young to know any sense of loss.
1t denotes a trait in the mother which
it would puzzle anybody to define.

Cherish your home with infinite
tenderness. You cannot love it too
much nor give it too much thought.
Remember, life has nothing better to
offer yet; it is the climax and crown
OF Gods gifts. Make every day of
life in it rich and sweet. 1t will not
last long. See to it that you plant no
seeds of bitter memory; that there be
no neglect and no harshness to haunt
you in after years. Your little ones
will die and go hence with your words
and spirit planted in their eternal ma
ture. Sons and daughters will go
from you into the great world, to live
as you have taught them, to be strong
or weak according to the spirit you
have engrafted upon them. How you
will yearn for them, whether living or
dead! How sweet or how bitter will
be the memory Of the days when they
prattled about you in the home from
which they have gone forever! So
live with them and train them now
that when they are gone you and they
can look back on the past with thank
fulness and not regret.

DOMESTIC RECIPES.

CANNED CUCUMBERs. = Prepare the
cucumbers as for salad, then put into
glass jars and add little salt and pep
per as you put them in, and fill the
jar with cold vinegar, sealing tightly.
CHICKEN FRITTERs.-Make batter
the same as for griddle cakes, stir into
this bits Of cold chicken, have ready
equal parts of hot lard and butter, and
cook the same as any fritters. The
above are really choice, and if once
tried, will be tried again. They serve
also to use up bits of cold chicken not
sufficient, however, for the family
meal.
TAPIOCA PUDDING.-Soak one-half
cup of tapioca till soft, then boil with
one pint of milk until it thickens-
about eight minutes; remove from
the stove, pour in a baking dish, add
half cup of sugar and one egg, well
beaten; flavor with nutmeg, add a
half cup of raisins, if liked, and bake
until brown, from half to three-quar-
tiers of an hour. Make sage pudding
the same.
CORN STARCH PUDDNG.-Oneq quart
of milk, four tablespoonful of corn
starch wet with little cold milk, two
eggs, well beaten, and a good pinch
of salt. Put the milk in pail or dou-
BILE boiler, let it come to boil, stir in
a small cup of sugar, the cornstarch,
and lastly the eggs; boil until thick
like starch, flavor with lemon or va
nilla, to taste, pour into moulds that
have stood in cold water, and serve
when cold with sweetened cream or
milk. One-half the recipe is suffi-
cient for four persons.
