pearance yesterday evening at the
rooms Of the Republican congressional
committee. 1t contains about 100 moro
pages than its Democratic contemporary,
and, barring O fow really inexcusnble
mistakes at tho printing house in max
ing up," gives evidence OF much moro
careful editing than the other.
A prominent and unique feature is o
quotation at tho head OF each pago
throughout the work from como emil
nent publicist Of other days or from
congressman and other public mon OF
the present day, pertinent to the times
and tho questions In dispute, all printed
in black.faced type that may not DO
overlooked. Curiously enough, the first
quotation is from Napoleon, who is
credited with the words: "If nation
was mado OF adamant, free trade would
grind it to powder"
A quotation from the Pail Mall
Gazette OF August Is. 1904, reads:
"Bradford kept Quot during the vicisgi-
tudes of the Wilson bill for fear Of
preiudicine the Issue. Now that 1t is
finally accepted, reioiclngs have finally
broken FORTH" There arc numerous
quotations from the speeches Of Senator

sylyania, many from Rood aud McKin'
10y, aud two from President Cleveland.
One from Mr.. Cleveland reads: "How
can we facc the people after INDUCING
| In such outrageous Determinations and
violations Of principles 2" and tho other:
at has boon tho policy of tho govern
mont to collect tho principal part OF tho
revenues by o tax upon imports; md
no change in this policy Is desirable"
| This is from the message OF 1886.
Ono OF tho leading chnpters is devoted
to tho Hawaiian question.
A very important chapter, also, is
that devoted TO pensions. in which tho
policy OF the interior department Is
severely criticised and this includes tho
figures already fully given in these tele-
grains In regard to dismtssals and ap'
poiutmeuts by Secretary Hoke Smith.
While every possible topic likely TO

PALE, THIN AND EVACUATED
PEOPLE.

The country is full of them
They do not know what it is to
feel we'll like other folks. Medi-
cines of all kinds have been tried
without good results. Cod Liver
Oil and the preparations of Malt
have all failed. What is the rea-
son ? These emaciated people can
not digest starchy foods. The fat
of the body is produced with bread,
potatoes, and other starchy food.
If they will eat food that is artifi-
cially digested, they will grow fat,
strong, plump and robust. They
will commence gaining flesh at
once. This Flesh Forming Food is
called PaskoJa. You can buy it at
any drug store. Send your name
to the Pre-Digested Food Co., 80
Reade St., New York, and get
their interesting pamphlet.

The Prices of the Columbian Stamps.

The entire set of columbian stamps con-
sists of 1, 2, 8, A, 8, 6, s, 10, Is, 80 and
so cent, and 81, so, So, 81 and So stamp.
The cost Of the set, when new, last year
was $1732. Of these under the 10 cent
the only one that is worth anything when
Cancelled is the cent, which will bring
cents. The 10 cent stamp and those above
1t are worth just about their face value.
The uncanceled stamps command slight
premiums above their face value. The 20
cent used stamp is worth moro than the
same denomination unused 1t would not
be we'll, however, for any one with new
stamp to get it Cancelled, for it is much
easier to cancel a stamp than to erase tho
cancellation. 1t must be borne In mind
that the figures given above are only aver
age prices, says Golden Days. Many deal
Frs hold the stamps at higher prices while
some claim that they are not worth az
much.

AN EGYPTIAN BANQUET.

: crowded life, where Joy perennial starts
The boys pulse beating mid experience sage.
Wild thirst for action time could ne'er as
suage
Countless sad secrets learned from weary
hearts.
New thresholds gained as each full hour de-
parts,
Long years read singly, each an opened page,
Loves blissful dreams and friendships price
less gage,
A name grown famous through the streets and
marts,
knowledge advancing, thoughts that climb
and climb,
Aims that expand, new pinions that unfurl,
Age that outstrips all promise of its prime,
Hopes which their prayers at utmost heaven
hurl-
Till in an instant in point Of time,
Death, tho Egyptian, melts and drinks the
pearl.

The Tale of the Witch of Endor.

OF all Bible stories none Is more popu-
larwith children than the tale of the Witch
of Endor On wet Sunday afternoons the
most admired plate in the folio Bible is
that which shows Saul falling forward on
the earth, and the witch woman shrinking
back in astonishment and ave. and the
white bearded, shadowy figure of the
prophet rising up from the silence of sheol
The woman of Endor is beloved by contro-
versial infancy, just launched uncon-
sCiously on the stream of Biblical criti-
cism and pleading against the verdict Of
parent or nurse for the existence of ghosts
and witches. The early syllogism runs
thus:
The Bible is true.
The Bible says there were a witch and
a ghost.
Therefore there are ghosts and witches.
We often meet with worse arguments In
later life, as when science AYERS:
II don't take any interest in the ques-
tion," with the suppressed inference,
therefore there is nothing in it but non
sense"
Our instructors in our infancy, how
ever, met our logic with pleas more subtle,
though not wholly satisfying. Thus:
There were witches, or at least there was
WITCH but that was before the coming
of the gospel. So now run away and see
if you can find ripe strawberry"
Thus was the daring metaphysical spec
ulation of infancy diverted into practical
researches. Or, again, the answer would
be, Saul was bad man, and therefore
the devil was allowed to deceive him in
she shape of Samuel" "But it does not
lay anything about the devil, and the
ghosts prophecy came true" "Oh, no
loubt that was permitted for wise reasons.
So, now, run away" ut upra.-Andrew
Lang in Contemporary Review.

Rhubarb and Pieplant.

Ask marketman in Boston for some pie
plant, and he will stare in surprise-don't
know what you mean. Here in Boston peo-
pie say "rhubarb." But in western Massa-
Connecticut, New York state and
in all places where colonists from these re-
gions have gone ''pieplant" is the only
word, and "rhubarb" is only used for med
ical preparations of the plant.-Boston

Literary Notes.

What is so cheap as a good magazine?
Apparently the answer to this question
is, Nothing" Harper's, for example,
during the past year has printed two
novels, Trilby and The Golden House,
which, in book form, will sell for the
subscription price of the Magazine, or
littlS less. Add to these sixty short
stories (enough for five books, by the
best American and English writers, as
many illustrated articles descriptive of
travel or of scientific interest, the COM
ments on current events in the editors
Study" and the numerous anecdotes of
the Editors Drawer" and the reader
has every year two volumes of nearly a
thousand pages each, filled with the best
literature aud the best illustrative art, in
a variety that large library could hard
ly surpass.

Before setting out on his long journey
to the seat of war in Asia, Julian Ralph
evidently received a pleasant impression
of the Japanese in New York City. Har-
per's Weekly for October 9th contains a
description of the Japanese clubhouse in
West Twenty fifth street; and the ap-
preciatlve tone in which this is written
augurs well for the success of Mr..
Ralph's undertaking in the far East,
where one must have done with narrow
prejudices in order to draw near to the
native life, as Mr.. Ralph purposes, with
comfort, or even with safety.

grippe, Sulphur,
AND PROTECTION OF ANIMALS

AND PROTECTION OF ANIMALS.
At the December director, meeting
of the Massachusetts Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals" +"
and of the "American Humane Edu-
cation Society,"" held yesterday, reso.
lutions were passed calling upon all
our members of Congress and others
to aid the passage of bill now before
Congress, to secure better care and
protection of animals in ocean trans
portation.
President Angel referring TO the
epidemic of Grippe, stated that he had
caused inquiry to be made few days
since at Byam's Match Factory, and
found that none of the fifty girls and
ten men employed there had ever had
the Grippe, and that the book-keeper
there was the only person out of his
family of eleven who escaped it. Mr..
Angel suggested that wearing little
powdered sulphur in the stockings
could not do much harm and might
prove as effective as it is said to have
proved in yellow fever aud cholera.
and that an occasional teaspoonful of
the old neutrality-suspicious., cream of
tartar and molasses, might give an
equally good or even better protec-
ton.

Un7Ovable Women.
Worthington's Magazine.

Beware of three women-the one
who does not love children, The one
who does not love flowers, and she who
openly declares she does not like
other women. There is something
wanting in such, and in all probability
its place is supplied by some unlovely
trait.
Men may smile and jest little over
tenderness lavished on baby, but
after all, the prattIe every womanly
woman involuntarily breaks into at the
sight of the tiny beings Is very sweet
to masculine ears. 1t was the first
language they ever knew. and, in spite
of the Jest or smile, the sweetest on
wife's or sweetheart's lips. They may
laugh, too, at the garden tools, which
seems like playthings to their strength;
but in their hearts they associate,
and rightly, refinement of character
and life with the pursuit of gardening.
And as for thewoman who does not
care for ner own sex, and boldly avows
it, she creates only an unfavorable i'm
preston against her own self for a
sweeping condemnation of q sex
which contains innumerable examples
of all that is beautiful and worthy in
human character.
