WASHINGTON. June 22.-The House

favorably and Immediately passed by

bills we're passed: Appropriating

Kyle made general argument fav

the decline in farm values in the
West. He argned that the protection
system was responsible for the con-
centrated wealth in the hands of a
few, and that it was just and equita-
bic that the few should bear their
share of the burden of taxation
which their wealth made them able to
bear

ing his shoes and elevating his sky

while he famed himself with a palm

At the conclusion of Kyle's speech
Vest offered four additional amend
ments to the income tax section.
The most important one was to reduce
the exemption from four to three
thousand and exempt from the opera
ton of the tax all building and loan
associations making loans only to
shareholders. Another provides that
i'll reckoning the profits of corpora
tons for taxation, the actual operat-
ing expenses, losses and interest on

Another amendment provides that
the tax shall not apply to any insur-
ance business conducted on the
mutual plan.
Teller supported the incame tax
proposition. He quoted the utter
ances of leaders of the Republican
party. Oliver p, Morton; Senator
Sherman and Senator Morrill,, who
advocated the tax in the past.
Senator Harris and Aldrich, after a

THE secretary bird Of South Afri-
ca, says Eli L. Wilson, of Washing
ton, feeds upon rats, mice, lizards,
etc, but is especially fond Of snakes.
SO valuable are it's services that the
white settlers levy heavy fine on
any one who kills one Of these birds.
Its name, secretary, was suggested by
the fact that the large feathers pro-
jecting from the apex Of the head sug-
gested a clerk with several quill pens
stuck behind his ears. 1t is about
four feet in height, and it's mawlike
bill is formidable weapon, capable
of splitting the head of large snake
at single blow. As snakes do not
willingly submit to the operation,
long and exciting fights often take
place before the bird cleaves his op-
ponent's head once came upon an
encounter of one of these birds with q
snake about seven feet long. For
several minutes the activity of the
belligerents displayed itself in feints
and blows. Finally, one lucky blow
seemed to stupefy the snake. In
stantly the bird seized the serpent
near the neck and bore it, wriggling
and struggling, aloft about 100 yards
and then dropped it. With closed
wings the bird descended so rapidly as
to reach the ground almost as soon as
the snake. Quick as thought the
bird struck the serpent blow upon
the head which killed it. "-ISt. Louis

Bio Guns for Business Only.

People always expect big ship to
fire her biggest guns on saluting. Big
guns take big charges, which means
big money. Consequently vessels use
their secondary batteries, six-pound-
ers and small ordnance when firing
for politeness, and reserve their big
guns for business. Moreover the life
OF these big guns is limited, few
hundred discharges exhausting their
vitality and making them dangerous

Amateur NURSING.

Blessed indeed is that household
that knows not sickness and requires
no nursing; but this is blessing that
in the natural course Of events cannot
continue. There are many women,
excellent housekeepers in other re-
spects, who know nothing about nurs-
ing or caring for the sick Trained
nurses are not always desirable, even
when they can be afforded, and so we
call attention to the fact that in this
day Of practical training some
knowledge OF nursing should be Il
part of every girls education.
In acquiring knowledge that will
be OF value in the sick room, it is not
necessary that anatomy, physiology
and materia medica should be stud
led, though it will be conceded that
some knowledge Of these subjects
may be of great use. The care Of the
sick, particularly when they are weak
or petulant is in itself n most yalua-
BILE art, and one which some have
naturally, but which all can acquire.
What can the sick eat, how should it
be prepared, and how served? are
questions of the greatest Importance,
for cooking for the sick is an entirely
different thing from preparing food
for the robust. 1t is not necessary to
take Il course in training-school
for nurses to acquire knowledge that
will be of great use in this work.
There are many books published on
the subject, and these with sympa-
thetic dev otion will furnish all the
inflammation necessary
