WHAT WILL TO-DAY BRING FORTH.

The failure of the caucus 10 secure
unity among Democratic maj riiy in the
house, makes one wonder what effect the
arrest of the absentee members Of that
body by The sergeant-at-arms, viii have
in securing quorum. Speaker Crisp
can comrel the attendance of the mem
bers in the house but like the horse led TO
water they cannot under the present
rule be compelled to do that to which
they are opposed. With majority OF
over a hundred the Democrats last
week wasted four of the few days to be
devoted to the dis cussion of the Wilson
bill because the patty leaders
could not secure a voting quorum.
A quorum was present, DEM
cratic quorum at that every day but
when the roll was called enough of the
opponents of the Wilson bill and the
income tax belonging to the Democratic
faith sat mute in their seats and refused
to answer to their names to prevent Sc
curing quorum.
Whether from the ranks OF the
twenty-five Democratic absentees
OF Saturday enough members will
be found who will support
the party leaders in their attempt to
carry on legislation only time can deter
mine 1t would hardly be surprising If
the speaker should be able to muster
quorum, hut he lacked eleven on Satur-
day and will have to do considerable
missionary work before he succeeds.
1t is strange condition of affairs,
this inability Of the leaders OF the
Democracy to secure u quorum. The
party in power has a majority so large
that il would seem practically impos-
sible for the leaders 10 outline IA policy
that would not receive the support OF u
voting quorum, and yet in the two inn
portant pieces of legislation that the
party has attempted ii has been unable
to command the support Of its own
members. The silver repeal bill was
passed by The Republicans, not by the
Democrats.
Here. however, Republican assistance
ends. The tariff bill can not command
a single Republican vote and the burden
must be taken up by the Democratic
party which proposed it. Thus it har-
pens that the people of this country are
behoIding with amazement the action or
rather non-action of party having con-
troll of every branch of the government,
and they see party with tremendous
majority incapable OF planning out a
tariff bill that will meet with
the approval Of the members
of its own political faith.
What today will bring forth is at pres
ent writing shrouded in mystery, but
the chances are that if the Democratic
opposition to the Wilson bill and the
income tax is united and determined a
quorum will be difficult to obtain.

Open Air Treatment Of Consumption.

Consumption Is disease often engendered

Is u conclusion to which DR.. Belly Thorne
came In paper read before the Royal Brit

Treatment of Consumption" at Falken'

this German health resort are encouraged
to spend the greater part of the day in the
open air. Even when unable to take exercise
the sufferers are placed out Of doors, care
being taken that they should be sufficiently
wrapped up. At night the windows Of the
bedrooms are partially opened. Baths, es-
pecially douche baths, are freely admins

prevent the dissemination of the tubercular
bacillus, and DIR. Thorne mentioned that

by French scientists, the New York Her
aid says they have shown that many es-
sences are endowed with strong antiseptic
qualities that appear in two ways-by di-
rect contact, and even at a distance, on ac-
count of their vapor tension. The most
powerful of these essences is certainly the
essence Of China cinnamon, which has al
most the same strength as corrosive subli-
mate, one Of the most powerful antiseptics.
But these essences in their natural form are
very often irritating to the skin, so that M.
Lucas -Championniere of Paris has been try

With the idea that they are irritating be-
cause they are insoluble in the different

If the average traveller only feared
wine or brandy as he does water, 1t
would be a great gain to the cause of
temperance. No matter what part of
the world he is in, he seems to have
an idea that the only really dangerous
drink in that vicinity Is the water. If
an American travels in Europe, he is
commonly told by his felloW-travelers
that the water there is very bad it is
quite unsafe to drink it; he had better
take wine or brandy as beverage.
If the European travels in America,
he learns the same thing about the
water here. A New-Englander going
west or south is warned against the
water of that region. He must take
strong drinks, or die. Nothing in
New England, on the other hand, so
perils Western or a Southern mans
life as pure spring.water. Green ap-
pies, wilted cucpmbers, baked beans,
are innocuous; but anything which
will bring the "drunk" is the safest
thing in the world for the man or
woman of delicate constitution Dur
ing the Centennial year, visitors to
Philadelphia were made to understand
that the water of the Schuykill was
not safe to drink. More recently, in
Chicago, at the Columbian Exposition, !,
visitors were similarly taught to dread
the water of Lake Michigan. In both
places it was deemed necessary to take
freely of beer, or wine, or at least to
put a little brandy or whiskey into the
water. Occasionally one of the Wis
ilors had satisfactory evidence, from
his personal experience, that his eau
rious friends had reason for sounding
u note of warning on this point. At
ter eating an unripe melon, walking
about in the hot sun for three or four
hours looking at the exhibits, drinking
several glasses of lemonade, and max
ing a lunch of fried chicken and ice
cream, he had sense of faintness with
twinges of pain, which. he,was sat-
i-fied, was the result Of his unwisely
drinking a glass of the water of the
region. He sought TO have known
better" He "wouldn't try it again. "
He would thenceforward stick to the
trustworthy beer or brandy. If Sol
ONION had only said, Look not upon
cold water when you can get anything
stronger to drink" how many follow
ers he would have had IS. S. Times.

For Sisters.

Some years ago as I sat on the piaz'
"a of summer hotel, I noticed among
the crowd party of youn people, two
or three pretty girls and as many bright
young men, all waiting for the mail"
80, dear !" said the prettiest If the
girls, impatiently, "why don't they
hurry? Are you expecting letter,
Mr.. Allison 2" and she turned to q
tall youth standing near.
"1'll get one surely" he said. "Il's
my day. Just this particular letter al
ways comes. Nell is awfully good ;
she is my sister, you know, and 20
fellow ever had better one."
The pretty girl laughed, saying rs he
received his letter, "Harry would
think he was blessed If wrote once a
year."
Gradually the others drifted away,
but Frank Allison kept his place, scan.
ming eagerly the closely written sheets,
now and again laughing quietly. Fin
ally he slipped the letter into hisspock-
ct, and, rising, saw roe.
"Good morning, Miss Williams" !"
he said, cordially, for he always had
a pleasant word for us older people.
"Good news?" I questioned smil-
ing.
7My sisters letters always bring
good news" he answered. "She
writes such jolly letters"
And unfolding this one, he read me
scraps of it-bright nothings, with
here and there little sentence full of
sisterly love aud tenderness. There
was steedy light in his eyes as apollo
gIzing for "boring" me, he looked up
and said quietly: "Miss Williams. If
ever make anything of man. it will
be Sister Nell's doing"
And as [ looked at him felt strong
ly what mighty power "Sister Nell'
held in her hands-just a woman's
hands, like yours, dear girls, and per-
haps no stronger or better, but ii made
me wonder how many girls stop TO
consider over these boys growing so
fast toward manhood, unworthy or no
BILE, as the sisters choose.
There is but one way, dear girls; be-
gin at once, while they are still the
little boys of the home circle, ready to
come to "sister" with anything. Let
them feel that you love them. These
great, honest boy hearts are both ten
der and loyal, and if you stand by
these lads now while they are neither
boys nor men, while they are awk-
ward and needless, they will remem-
ber it when they become the courteous,
polished gentlemen you desire 10 see
them. Do not snub them; nothing
hurts a loving boys soul more than a
snub, and nothing more effectually
closes the boy heart than thoughtless
ridicule.
Have patience, girls-that gentle pa
tience whose perfect work will surely
win the smile Of the Master, who grants
to all who do the Fathers will that we
should be his SISTERS" and for the
sake of the great Elder Brother who
dignifed with his divine touch these
earthly relationships, shall we not be
more loving with these sensitive,
great hearted lads who call US SISTER"
and remember the wise man who said,
"Shall the woman who guards not a
brother, be- lightly trusted with hus-
band or sons?"-Christian Statesman.
