Something OF sensation was stirred by
the forging to the froutof spoakcr Crisp
when the general debate was we'll uudOr
way. Tho speech Of the speaker was
temperate, but very forciblo, and ita
logic was so irresistible that at its con.
ielusioH, Mr.. ByHHm, the mover Of tho
resolution, withdrew his motion. Tho
spoaker declared that 1t was and should
be tho purpose Of tho Democrats Of tho
house, as Democrats, to redeem the
pledges they had made to the peo-
pie, He deprecated tho passage OF
resolution at this tima. Tho senate had
not withdrawn its support from tho sen.
atc conferees and tho house should
stand by its representatives. No vote
OF confidence was needed, while, on the
other hand, tho passage OF atr. Byuum's
resolution would be virtual surrender.
He Ravo 1t rs his opinion that tho con-
fereOs could reach au agreement within
q couple OF weeks at most, but they
should not be harrasscd by a "back
fire" from their own house.
Tho speakor's speech was received
with manifestations Of approval and In
conclusion, he suggested that tho caucus
should adjourn.

He gave no apparent recognition to Mr.

The action OF the chairman excited
no little comment, as It was taken to
mean declaration not to bave any
controversy with Mr.. Bynum. In
quiries were made regarding the status
OF negotiations upon sugar. coal and
iron, but no definite information was
forthcoming.
Speaker Crisp said that the senate
bill was more highly protective In most
Of i.a schedules than tho house bill, and
that there wero many points OF diacr-
ence to bo settled, and intimated that
they we're being settled. but that was
as much enlightenment rs tho inqutr-

All was in tune for il; my temples throbbed;
In semidarkness was my cherries room,
And through the trees the sad breeze soughed

Digestion waited not on appetite;
My spirits came in duh and sluggish flow;
Naught was there in the world that pleased
my sight.

On his way to one of the stations at
Buda-Pesth French gentleman recently
went into "A hatter's shop and bought and
put on hat which had attracted him by
its somewhat unusual color and shape.
When he had been walking up and down
the station some few minutes he was aston
ished to find in one Of his overcoat pockets
purse full of money and in the other a
gold watch. He went at once to the station
master and found him listening to the com
plants of countryman who had just lost
his purse
The purse was the one which the French
man was returning, but when it had been
lost it had contained only 10 shillings.
Now it held nearly rs many pounds. The
mystery was soon explained A policeman
came to the station master to report the ar
rest of pickpocket. He was Immediately
brought in and confessed the theft of the
purse, into which he had put the proceeds
of previous robberies and of the watch.
He had passed" them into the French
mans pockets because of his hat He eX.
planned that hats of that peculiar pattern
which are made only by one firm, are the
badge of a large international gang of pick
pockets, and so he had taken the French
man for a confederate.
The halter bore out the statement say.
ing that he had recently sent large con
signment of hats of that kind abroad, to d
place which the pickpocket named. But
he was able to prove that he had no com
plicity in the base uses for which his ware.

In the olden times in Japan all the dali
mics similar to the old English lord) had
great sport with falcons, as they went
out to the field to catch other birds with
falcons The falcons were tanned well
and used to catch large birds, mostly
cranes. When people now go out hunt
ing with falcons, the men in charge hold
the falcons upon their fingers. As soon
as one sees any bird he let's the falcon
rush at the bird; as soon as the falcon
reaches the bird he bites at the throat
and throws the bird down to the ground
Meanwhile the holder runs to the place
where they are and catches both of them.
Falcons are not large birds, but as they
belong to the eagle family they are
strong and brave and never afraid to go
at any bird to kill it, but the men in
charge Of falcons of course take great
care in feeding and tanning them. Chi

Petroleum is now much used for cooking
and heating purposes. There are cheap oils
which are dear at any price, The principal
danger lies in the impurity of the oil, and
cheap oils are never pure. DIR. Hagaman
has been lecturing in Philadelphia on the
subject of safe and unsafe oils and assures
us that in order to be safe an oil should
have flash test of at least 1870 degrees. 1t
is well that householders should know how
to ascertain what the flash test of any given
oil is before using it. The method is sim
plicity itself Take any small vessel or pan
that can stand heat and half fill it with fine
sand. On this pour some of the oil to be
tested and place in the mixture thermom-
eter. Now put it on the kitchen range Sc
that the heat may gradually rise and watch
the thermometer. Hold at the same time a
very thin lighted taper over it. When the
thermometer has risen sufficiently, the va.
por will ignite. The temperature is the
flash point. By the way, servants ought to
be warned against the practice of filling a
lamp quite full.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
