TANGLE IN KANSAS,
But the Governor Recognizes the Popu
list House.

ToTEKA, Kan, January 12.-The joint
conference committee appointed for the
purpose of unravelling the tangle in the
House, adjourned at midnight without
having formulated any plan to present to
the two Houses today.
The Popu lists demanded that the
three. Republican members who were
postmasters at the time of their election
to the legislature should be unseated and
the Populists be given their seats. This
would, of course, place the Populists in
control of the House.
The Republicans refused to consent
to this scheme, arguing that the post
masters could serve legally as members
of the lower House, they having re-
signed their positions as postmasters
since their election to that body.
The rival houses continued in session
today. During the roll call held by the
Republicans the Democrats stated they
believed the Republican House legally
instituted and decided to participate in
their proceedings. The addition of
three Democrats to Republican member
ship give Republicans 65 members MAJ
10 ity Of five. At 3 p. m. it was learned
the peace committees efforts to reach a
compromise had failed. 1t was an
nounced on the Populist side that the
Senate and Governor would shortly rec
ognize the Populist House.
At 5.02 this evening Governor Llewllyn
sent brief message to the House recog-
nizing the Populist House.

Men and Matters at Washington During

WASHINGTON, January 12.-Nothing
was done in Congress yesterday on ac-
count of the funeral of Senator Kenna.
Our Foreign Commerce.
WASH NaToN, January 12.--Mr. E. R.
O'Brion, commissioner of navigation, is
receiving from boards of trade and and
navigation and chambers of commerce
all over the country replies to a letter
sent out by him asking suggestions for
the development of our foreign COM
MERGE and calling attention to the impor-
tant statements as to the decline of the
American merchant marine contained in
his annual report.
This shows that the American tonnage
engaged in our fore gn commerce fell
from 71.56 per cent of the Total tonnage
entered at ports of the United States In
1856 to 2061 per cent 50 entered in 1892.
The value of merchandise imported into
and exported from the United
States in American vessels fell
from 1877 of the total value
of imports and exports in 1866 to 1913
per cent during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1892. According to state
ment of the Post Office Depar tment, the
Government paid for the sea conveyance
of United States mails to foreign coun-
tries for transatlantic service during the
last fiscal year, $449, 4O5 to foreign lines
and only $34S to American vessels. He
therefore urges that the condition of our
shipping engaged in foreign commerce
is too serious to admit of delay in apply
ing some effectual remedy for it's restor-
alton. and advocates the establishment
of merchant marine and naval reserve
on the principles established by Great
Britain.
Thisssuggestion seems to meet with
general favorable response.
The Canal Convention.

rotary of the Duluth Chamber of Com
merce. Between Is and 100 gentlemen

S eaker of the House, excites great in
terest in the contest for United States
senator. Senator Allen at present num-
bers over so faithful followers, and needs
only few votes to secure the 81 neces-

they have IA votes on joint ballot, but OF
enough to prevent Aliens election and

Rheumatism In Children.

rheumatism is u name applied to one of
the earliest classified of all diseases. In the
public mind the word is connected with
swollen and painful joints, or less frequent.
ly with pain in the muscles or sinews.
AS our knowledge of rheumatism has
broadened, we have learned to consider it a
disease of the system in general, resulting
in local manifestations.
The pain and swelling in the joints are
due to the irritation cXerted by the poison
of the d~isease-which is circulating in the
system-upon the delicate structures which
compose the joints themselves.
The action of this rheumatic poison is
felt also upon other parts of the body. Re
curing tonsilitis is often the result of such
action upon the tissues composing the ton.
sils. This is frequently the case in adults;
it is much oftener SO in children. IT,. &c,
ton Of the rheumatic poison is less fire.
quently exerted upon the joints in children,
SO that rheumatism is commonly looked
upon rs a disease of adult life.
One symptom of the rheumatic tempera.
ment occurring in children is the develop
ment of little rounded bodies beneath the
surface of the skin and around the joints.
They are most common along the margins
of the kneepan and elbow joint and along
the back bone and collar bone. They appear
quickly without pain. but are slow in dis
appearing.
1t should be understood that the growing
pains Of children are often the only evil
dences of a rheumatic tendency. The chief
safeguard against such a tendency lies in
giving children proper food and a suff-
cheney Of exercise. -Youth's Companion.

Economy That Is Not Economy,

We women are such extremists that if We
start in to economize we do SO with such a
vengeance mat in u very little time no one
economical or misery. Economy is a very
wise and prudent thing, but there are some
species of true economy that the great ma.
jority of women fail to appreciate. They
do not see any economy in hiring a good
servant when they can do the work just az
well themselves. Yet they fail to consider
the wear and tear on the system and the
dead tired feeling that comes at the end of
the day when such Il course ia followed day
in and day out.
What they gain in money they lose in
strength and happiness besides, for the hus-
band who comes home ut night seeking a
congenial companion, and finding in her
stead u peevish, worked out wife, who
hasn't the ambition even to look over the
evening paper, will soon get in the way of
going where things are brighter and pleas
anter. 1t is better to have a smaller bank
account and IL less snowy wardrobe and
pay for a strong, able woman, who will
tighten your labors and leave you free to be
Il sweet and genial wife and mother, around
whom all the pleasant home interests cen.
ter.
1t is economy to buy labor saving inven.
tions, it is economy to consult a physician
at the first symptom of IL cough instead of
waiting until his services will be required
two or three times a day. In fact, it is
economy to do everything that tends to
keep you in good health and in good spirits.

Til. Quiet Art of Resignation.

In their quiet Norfolk home the Princess
OF Wales and her two unmarried daughters
spend their days in Il simple round of home
occupation that most American women Of
small means would find too monotonous
for endurance. Life is absolutely unevent-
full ut Sandringham since the baby, Lady
Alexandra, is no longer in the neighbor.
hood, and the ladies rarely go beyond their
park gates for their daily walks. Some.
finest they stroll about West Newton. They
personally attend to their pets and drive
out for a time, but the greater portion Of
the day is spent ut fine neediework, Of
which they are very fond. They are all
deft workers in the pretty feminine art
and have mastered the science of cutting as
well us making garments.
The American woman in affection rarely
takes the quiet way of bearing it. If she has
means, she junkets over the globe in most
inaccessible places and %untraveled regions.
If she cannot afford to drown her sorrows
among the globe trottcrs, she joins all man.
ner of societies devoted to good works and
wears herself out with her enthusiasm. The
simple, quiet art of resignation seems to be
almost an unknown quantity here.-Ex.

When Children Swallow Objects.

The habit little children have of carrying
objects to the mouth results in their fire.
quently swallowing coins, tacks, slate pen
ellis, marbles and many similar small oh.
jects. Fortunately, in the great majority
of cases these objects are passed along the
stomach and intestinal canal without pro-
ducing very severe disturbance. If n smooth,
hard object like Il marble has just been
swallowed, a bland emetic, such as n tea
spoonful of sirup of ipecac, may be imme-
diately given. 1t is Il bad practice, on the
contrary, to give purgative medicines, as
the increased action OF the bowel thus in
duced may cause impaction of the body, or
If it have q sharp surface an inflammation
of the bowel.
The plan of treatment is to administer
plenty of food that leaves a large detritus
in the bowel that will surround the object
and carry it safely out of the body without
injury to the intestinal walls. To this end
vegetables, plenty of baked potatoes, white
and sweet, and stale bread and butter will
prove useful. y constant oversight of the
discharges should be maintained until the
foreign body can be accounted for.-H. ID.
Chaplin, M. D., in Chicago News Record.
