The Ways and Means Committee have got SO

the free list has been considerably enlarged.

other sO-called raw materials" The question
Of internal revenue has not been disposed of

and the tax on whiskey increased. Some Dem

Though it seems somewhat difficult

cigar, using a wax vesta- Having
blown out the light he threw down
the ma tch close to the bars of the
cage. One of the monkeys immedi-
ately seized it, and after examining it
for some little time, bit off the black

evident gusto. The gentleman lighted
another, blew it out, and threw it to
the monkey, who bit off the end and
devoured the wax portion with pleas

In evident alarm the monkey threw
it away, but when it saw the black

caution picked it up again, and, after
biting off the head, ate the wax.

THE BUNDLE AT THE PEAK BROKE OUT
me for that Of England. Good morn

THE harbor master had nothing
to say to this and started back; but
he bad no sooner done 50 than the main
halliards were pulled, the bundle at the
peak broke out and in second the stars
and stripes were waving before the
astonished eyes of the harbor master,
Yankee shippers and Capt. Semmes, of
the Alabama. Indeed, SO large was
odd glory in this particular case that
it almost brush ed the Alabama's decks.
the vessels being SO near together The
huge flag had been presented to the ship
at her launching, and to the excited
spectators on this occasion seemed
larger than the ship herself.
''The harbor master put about, an
grier than before, and demanded ex-
plantations.
s''What does that flag mean, sir"
said he
That's my house flag said Hobbs,
the trade mark of my owners. 1 do
not know whether that red one up
there is humpbacked and clubfooted or
not; but you can't give me any points
on the construction Of that article up
there with the stripes on it. propose
to fly that flag how l please. when 1
please and where please, whether it
be in Hong Kong or in hell. For the
second time, good morning! and Hobbs
went below.
THE house flag being technically
merely the insignia of the line or
owners, the harbor master could carry
the argument no further. Semmes,
however, was SO angry at having the
stars and stripes Haunted in his face
that he swore to blow the Humming
Bird out of the water if he ever caught
her outside, no matter what flag she
sailed under. He never did it, how
ever, as this voyage hung fire as SO
many others did, and, as shortly after

DON'T DO 1T.

Business Women Should Leave Work to
Others Who Live by Sewing.
Everyone has pet economy, and the
business woman, the working woman,
tries to economic by doing her own
dressmaking. She likes to dress well
and it does seem extravagant to pay so
much for what she might do herself. It
requires brave woman to attack her
headgear, but with clever fingers and
good taste dress doesn't seem such an
undertaking.
But really you ought not to do it at
all
If your days work is fulfilled con-
scientiously yon ought to give the
evenings to rest and amusement. You
would only sit and read, you say? Well,
then, just sit and read. Reading doesn't
give you that sharp pain in your side.
Reading doesn't key you up to a point
of feverish excitement because you
want to get SO much done.
If you like to sew you can always
have a dainty bit of fancy work on
hand, or if you have set your heart on
some luxurious addition to your ward
robe that will give you exercise for
your needle. Then there is always
your mending, and the really dainty
woman finds more than enough to fill
the time she should give to evening en-
ployment. But as for dressmaking.
don't try your tired eyes with it at
night Every little worrisome quicker
in the dress is going to leave little
worried wrinkle in your face, and every
new gown will increase that misera BILE
nervousness that preys upon SO many
American women.
Evening is not the right time to con-
ouer complicated dress patterns, and
you would much better do with fewer
dresses and hand Your material Owe to
the professional dressmal1er, who per-
haps just needs your work to pay for
some help that will give her a little
time for rest.
A man never thinks of attempting
to make his own clothes as an economic
measure. but a woman clings to quality
and quantity of raiment, and heads her
list of economies by making it up her.
self That does very well for the wom
an whose days are her own, though
often enough it would pay her better
to depend on some one else; but for the
woman who has only the evening for
all the little odd jobs that somehow be-

add evening dressmaking to her daily
duties. and means weary middle age,

Delicate Animal and Plant Forms That
Can Survive Great Extremes
While the great changes of temper
allure to which the surface of the earth
is subjected are undoubtedly inimical
to many living things, yet investiga-
tions have shown q surprising ability
on the part of seemingly delicate ami
NAL and plant forms to survive and de-
fy such changes. 1t. has been discov-
cred, for instance, that the seeds of
many garden and field plants which
find their way into the River Thames
not only survive a long immersion in
the water. but are not even killed by
the cold after being enclosed in ice for
twenty days.
Mr.. H. b. Guppy. who has studied
this special subject, says that ''some
seedlings will develop the first leaves
during the daily thaw, while locked in
the ice at night"
Looking in thefopposite direction it
has been found that in the hot springs
of the Yellowstone park. and in other
hot spring waters. water plants thrive
at temperature as high as 1S5 degrees,
only 81 degrees below the temper
AZURE of boiling water.
Some micro-organisms also exhibit a
remarkable adapta bility to tempera-
ture. Several different species of bac-
terra examined in Germany, part OBJ
tanned from sea-water and part from
the soil. could be cultivated at the tenn
perature of freezing as well as t. M
perature of 6S degrees. Other similar
organisms have been found which flour
ish at a temperature of 15S degrees.
although some of them are apparently
not incommoded by so comparatively
low a temperature as 50 degrees. This
gives them living range of one hun
drcd degrees.
Man himself, perhaps. furnishes the
most striking example of the power to
withstand alterations of heat and
cold. No climate has vet proved to be
absolutely unendura bic by man.

THE STRANGER UNORESSED.
But He Criticised the Place as Rather
Chilly for the Purpose.

"one night, drummer is reported

Central not far from Buffalo The
sleeping car was nearly full. We
stopped at some place and an old man
with a map of st. Lawrence county on
his face got on board and was shown

The old fellow took a little hand
bag and walked up and down the ear,
apparently looking for something.
Then he disappeared through the door.
The porter made up the berth and ar
ranged the curtains. 1t was the first
berth To be made up.
Presently old st. Lawrence. as we
called him. appeared al the end of
the car with pile of clothes hanging
over one arm. his boots in one hand. his
collar and socks in the other. He had
nothing on but a gray flannel night
shirt that just covered his knees He
looked around the ear and then made a
rush Tor his berth.
Every body rosred. His feet were
bare and we could see the snow melt
ing on his calves and ankles. He drew
his curtains and remained silent for a
few seconds. Then his head appeared
between the curtains:

1t is warm day and the sun is tired,
She prepares herself for retirement.
The pressing, heavy, gorgeous raiment

grasp the last of her golden ringlets.
Now she stands there in the deepest
negligee! Unconsciously the blush of
shame appears upon her cheeks. A last
shy look in the world-had anyone
seen her?
And truly, there he looked asqulnt,
already above the horizon, cautiously,
only part of his face-the moon! the
impudent moon!
He has always got to look; no one is
ever secure from him.
Suddenly, with glow on her face.

look and jumps into bed. The purple

SLEEP.

ssed be the man that first invented
Don Quixote.
Sleep is the kind physician
Forever at our call.
To comfort is her mission
Whatever woes befall.
In fovel or in palace.
Where terror reigns, or malice,
She holds her sacred chalice
And seals the eyes Of all
Sleep is IS sweet as summer
And comes as falls the dew;
No srares can overcome her,
To man she's ever true.
She stills the strife of foemen.
She soothes both prince and yoeman,
Her breast is barred TO no man,
Her favor mortals sue.
Sleep is fligh-born maiden.
Queen almoner of night;
Sweet dreams with which she's laden
Put all our cares to flight
Her face is dark, yet tender,
Grit with supernal splendor,
Into her arms surrender
The weary, world-worn wight
She brews for all potion
Wherein we Quench our woes;
Majestic, mild her motion
AS round the world she goes
The sick all wait her pleasure.
The poor man dreams of treasure,
The busy man has leisure;
To all she brings repose.
Sleep hath a gracious garden,
There asphodel doth blow,
Pale peoples plead for pardon,
Rare herbs rich spices grow.
Here, freed from each days burden
With Joy and ease for guerdon,
We rest s-blithc as birds on
The leaves that linger low.
Snug refuge from the day time,
Safe shelter from the storm,
Dur dearest dreams have playtime,
Our fancy range takes form,
Like rain to thirsty flowers,
That droop for pearly showers,
Sleep shields US thro' dark hours
And guides US, safe and warm
Large gifts she lends the dreamer,
H. genius then holds sway,
And high ali bards esteem her
And prefer her to the day.
Good luck attends the lover,
His lady face will hover
In fancy while stars cover
The earth, that's grim and gray.
Sleep queens il DER the water,
Her sway is DER the land,
Death claims her as daughter,
The fairest of his band.
Serene, benign, immortal
BY her fair, ivory portal,
She waits for every mortal
To grasp him by the hand.
