TARIFF DISCUSSION.
The Senate Has Placed Salt on the Free
List.


WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Peffer ad-
dressed the senate today on the report
on the resolution instructing the COM
mittee ON postoficss and post roads to
report back the postal savings bill.
Manderson said he introduced q postal
savings bill based on the English system
but did not favor the paternalistic OF
PETER, which contemplated making the
government the banker OF the people.
The resolution offered by Colon, in
structing the commissioners OF pensions
to report what portion Of the annual ap-
propriations for pensions will remain un-
expended at the close Of the fiscal year
ending June 30, was agreed TO.
Consideration of the free list OF the
tariff bill was resumed, the pending
question being PETERS amendment to
put salt on the duitable list at 5 cents
Der 100 pounds. The present duty is 8
cents. PETER explained that personally
he favored free salt, but his constituents
interested in salt manufacture believed
they would be seriously affected by tho
placing Of salt on the free list. At IL
O'clock Aldrich demanded q separate
vote upon the amendment striking
sugar from the free list. The amend
ment was adopted 33 to %. Quay, 1rby,
Allen, and Kyle voted aye. PETER voted
no. Allen voted to put lumber on the
free list. Chandler charged that the
Nebraska senator had made . bargain
with the democratic side. In explain
ing his vote on sugar his announcement
that he had not yet made up bis mind
how to vote on the bill was threat, and
in getting this amendment adopted he
was completing the bargain Allen re-
torted that his vote and action were
none OF Chandler's business. Chandler
said he proposed to make 1t his business
Allen subsequently replied to Chandler'e
remarks. He claimed that he was moi
to be deferred from his purpose by q
senator who put himself in the attitude
of baboon on every possible occasion
PETERS amendment providing for duty
on salt was lost "a to 80.
The finance committees amendment
restricting the free entry Of raw silk r
such ss is not manufactured in any way
was agreed to. At 3 o'clock the senats
was considering section 9, relating tc
changes in the customs regulations
When section 50 is reached Jones vii
move to strike out sections q to SO In
elusive, q portion Of tf.s administrative
4 features Of the bill which IL has beer
agreed to leave out. Jones' amendment
was modified 90 as not to include sec
tion SO, relating to customshouse bro
kers' licenses, was agreed to. At 3:3
the senate reached the income tax. Hoa
asked that Il be passed over until 70
morrow. The house in committee q
the whole unanimously agreed that a
debate on the anti-option bill be closes

COST OF A BILLIARD BALL.
About Ten Dollars in Cash and Usually a
 Largo Amount of Human Blood.

About Ten Dollars in Cash and Usually
 Largo Amount of Human Blood.
 The globe of ivory which is knocked about table in game of billiards costs, if of good quality, at least ten dollars, says the Million. This repre- sents its cost in money. There is, however. far more important and forInida ble element in the price which has been paid for it. The billiard ball of pure ivory represents, as it lies white and glistening upon the cloth, an expenditure of human life blood as we'll as of money. Elephants tusl1s are brought down to the African coast by caravans, generally in charge of Arabs, which have been trading in the interior. Very often they have picked up slaves as well as ivory But this phase of the matter may be left out of the account. It is estimated that every large caravan bringing ivory to the coast has cost more than one hun dred and sixty human lives through fights and murders in the course of the expeditions. Thirty more men are likely to have succumbed to levers or other diseases and the fatigues of the march. The hunting of the elephants and the capture of the ivory are very likely to have caused the death of ten men altogether. Such casualties are the rule in elephant hunting rather than the exception. An average tus1 does not furnish more than enough ma terial for two good billiard balls. Of course the remainder of the ivory in each tusll is made use of in other ways; a perfect cut billiard ball requires spe- cial quality, or so-called nerve" which is found only in one part of the tusl1 The chances are that billiard ball of the first quality has cost at least one human life; and there is not one such ball which may not be truly said to be stained with mems blood. They can hardly be considered, there fore, cheerful accompaniment to sensitive persons diversion.

 Some business is best done quickly and with few words. Other business, of a more delicate nature, is commonly entered upon in a more leisurely man. ner. Now and then, however, a man is found who makes no such distinc- tion.

In the Bronx Valley,

French suburbans in the Bronx val ley delight in holding old world fash ions, and the peasant blue is still seen among them, while doubtless there are sabots in every house, called into use on wash day and at other low barometer seasons. 1t is pretty habit of these simple aliens to keep English rabbits, and a family of French people at Woodlawn travel over all the country round digging greens for these creatures. The rab- bits, by the way, are kept not as pets, but for food.

FLOWERS OF THE NIGHT.
Peculiarly Adapted to Attract Winged
 Insects.

Insects.
 As we all know, there are day-bloom- ing and night-blooming flowers, says the Cornhill Magazine. The former lay themselves out for the fertilizing visits of bees and butterflies; they are generally decked in red, blue, yell low orpurple, and have often lines, spots or markings on their petals which point to the nectaries and so act as honey guides. The night-blooning flowers, on the other hand, lay them selves out for the visits of moths or other crepuscular insects, and therefore have recourse to something like the tactics of the fire1ies and the glow-worms. They are usually pure white and the petals are often of such peculiar tex ture that they seem to glow with in- ternal light in the dim shades of even ing. At times one might almost fancy they were stained by nature with some curious forerunner of luminous paint, so strongly do they reflect every invisible ray of the faint twilight. They thus succeed in catching the eyes of moths, which, of course, are es- pecially modified for receiving and per ceiving the slender stimulus of dusk and the gloaming.
 But the nocturnal flowers have no lines or spots, because these last could never be perceived in the gray gloom of evening. They make up for it, how ever, by being heavily scented; indeed, almost all the strong white flowers, like jessamine, tuberose, gardenia, stephanotis, cereus and syringa, which are such favorites with florists, belong to night-blooming plants, specially adapted to attract the eyes and noses of night-fying insects.

HORRORS OF SHAVING.
Whether You Do It Yourself or Go to a
 Barber, There Are Dangers.


 There is a story told Of Trench no- bleman who.whcn he had been shaved in the morning. always heard the man mutter: Thank heaven!' on leaving the room. He inquired thecause. Ut is the money. my lord, you always leave on your table over night lfor he was gambler). Every morning say to myself: I must cut his throat, and am truly thankful to have escaped the temptation. After which confession the nobleman shaved himself. It is quite extraordinary how many people and even poor pcople-employ barbers to shave them, partly from conscious ness of their own clumsinesS C'What do you give the man who slaves you?" inquired sor1e one of A!acaulay ''Sev- eral cuts on the face,' was his reply). but chiefly from their inability to strop the razors. If there is an industry that makes use of old strops (with cutsl l shall be happy to supply them at whole sale prices, says writer In the Lon don Illustrated News. That there is no machine for stroprirg razors speaks volumes for tlc power Gnd intelligence of the Darbar5 company.
 Nevertheless, for man who has al- ways shaved himself the employment of another person to do it for him seems for the first time. apart from the humiliation of being taken by the nose, rather a serious business. One wishes to make great friends with him to start with, but the usual meth ods are closed to us; genial conversa- tion is out of the question-all the soap is on his side-and we daren't offer him liquor. It is the greatest conf- dence trick known to man. The per former may be an expert or he may not; but it is certain that at one time or another these gentlemen must have been new to their trade With whom did they begin? With whom, indeed! Dead men tell no tales. I vcntured to ask the question the other day of professional. He replied, with some confusion: 'NYe begin with one an other;'' and it was only the day before that he had observed, with an air of pretended indifference: I've are rather short-handed at the shop just now"

The snnerstit,nns Tnrk.

There is no land on earth where more superstitions prevail than that of the unspeakable Turk. Some of them are interesting. Ifby any chance a sparrow or swallow flies in the window and cir cles three times around the room it is a sign that a blood relation of some one present is about to die. There are many signs and happenings that are supposed to predict marriage. For in stance, if a horse sneezes when a young girl passes in the street she is positive that her time is nearly come. If her hair becomes unfastened she knows that she will soon be sought for, and if she goes to eat a peach and finds it's kernel split she is equally certain that she will soon be welded,

TREES AND THEIR AGES.
They Are the Only Forms of Nature Which
 Accurately Record the Years.

Elm, 800 years; ivy, 9S5 years; maple, BIO years; larch, 576 years; orange, 630 years; cypress, 500 years; olive, 500 years; walnut, 900 years; Oriental plane, 1000 years; lime, HOO years; spruce, 1900 years; oak, 1,5O0 years; cedar. 5000 years; yew, S,200 years. The way in which the ages of these trees have been aScertained leaves no doubt of its corrcceness. In some few cases the data have been furnished by historical records and by traditions, but the botanical archeologists have a resource independent of either, and, when carefully used, infallible.
 Of all the forms of nature, trees alone disclose their ages candidly and freely In the stems of trees which have branches and leaves with netted veins-in all eXogens, as the botanist would say-the increase takes place by means of an annual deposit of wood, spread in an even layer upon the sur face of the preceding one.
 In the earlier periods of life trees in- crease much faster than when adult the oak, for instance, grows more rap idly between the twentieth and thir- tieth years-and when old the annual deposits considerably diminish, so that the strata are thinner and the rings proportionably closer Some trees slacl1en in rate of growth at a very early period of life, and layers of oak become thinner after 10, those of the elm after 50, those of the yew after 60.
