HEAVEN BE PRAISED,

This Is Probably tho Last wcCa OF Con.
Gross-Adjournmen In Sight.
WAsmNorox, August l2.-The hope
Is general about tho senate that
tho present will be the last week
OF tho session. This is based upon
tho bolici that tho tariff bill will be dis
posed Of In some way carly in tho week,
and, with tho tariff out Of tho way, final
adjournment can bo brought about ut
almost any timc. Mono of tho appro-
prianon pilis, with the exception Of tho
sundry civil and tho general deficiency
bills, arc yot to be aoted upon to anS
extent bv other house, aud these two
are in such m advanced stage in con-
feroncp that q day Of jealous work
would probably suffice to put thom
both In shape to bo sent TO tho Prest-
dent
Tho Chinese trcaty ls tho only other
businoss that would hold Congress for
q day and this is also In condi:
tiou TO bo taken up and voted
upon at tomorrow 9 session. Whom
Clio aeuate adjourned on Friday, after
giving tho creator part OF tho day TO
the troaty, there was an understanding
that tho senate should 90 into oxecu-
tive eession on Monday Immediately
aftor tho reading OF tho journal for tho
purpose OF taking tho vote upon tho
troaty, 1t was nlso agreed that this
sLouid bp donc without further debate.
The ordor for the business for to-
Do,rov nrcSumably. attur tho treaty
ghall have boon passed. upon, will bc
Senator Chandlcr's resolution lor tho
investigation Of tho Alabama eiocttona.
After that all 10 uncertain and there ls
no pro.arranyod program for tho entire
week. Almost everything Will depenu
upon tho action OF tho house on the
tariff bill, but whatever that action may
bo It Ia counted upon asqu'tocertain that
tho two rcmaining appropriation oiiis
will receive final attention some time
during the week. Tho conference re'
mort on tho sundry civil bill hls already
tcon lurgclv disposed Of, an6 1t ie not
probable that much moro time Will be
spont npon it. Tho conference COM
nittoo on tho general deficiency bill has
hoon in session all day, Notwithstanding
jt's Sunday. and II will bo in Ahnpe Tor
carly prcscntation to both houses.
r. therefore, tho house should decide
10 accopt tho senate amendments to tho
tariff III. the sonatO could DO prepared
TO suspend proceedings on almost any
day aftor Tncuday. II the house should
decide upon tho opposite course. there
in no saving what might happon in tho

A Curiosity of Taste.

What do you think of the idea of sweet
ening your sugar with little salt or qui.
nine? Don't laugh at the proposition, for
there's more of a point to it than can beseen
on the surface of the mere assertion. Pro-
fessor Zunte, German chemist and an ex-
pert before some big Berlin physiological
society, accidentally discovered the fact that
sugars sweetenng properties were actually
strengthened by the addition of minute
quantity of salt. From his experiment he
finds that if 10 a solution of sugar there be
added slight amount of salt and wa
ter. so weak that it excites no saline
taste, the result proves that the strength of
the sugar is much augmented thereby. He
also says that the very weakest possible So
luton of quinine and water produces SIM
liar effect. The explanation which the
learned professor gives of the above SEEM
ing incongruity is this-that, be the sadness
or bitterness ever so feeble, providing it is
sufficient to excite the folIicles of the tongue
at all, it imparts an increased sensibility to
the organ of taste. For fear that the above
will be hardly Ineligible, | will close by
giving n quotation from Professor Zunte:
'The sensation of taste is wonderfully ex-
cited by the simultaneous stimuli of the
epyrean follicles and the consequent enlarge
ment of their peletia."
