HARRIS RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
The resolution for the daily meeting OF
the Senate at 10 a. NJ. and for the taxi
ing up Of the tariff bill at 10:30 was
agreed TO after a good deal of discussion,
in which Mr.. Frye Oep., Me) said. in
his opinion all parliamentary methods
should be resorted 10 to defeat the meas
ure; but he had not been able TO get
the Republican side Of the Senate TO take
the same view. Mr.. Dolph Rep., Ore)
professed his readiness TO unite with the
Senator from Maine Mr. Allison Rep.
Iowa. denied the existence OF any under
standing on the Republican side as TO
action on the bill, and said that senator's
would act on their individual Judgments
and Mr.. Chandler Rep., n. H. warned
Democratic senators not 10 act on the
theory that there would not be iilibustering
against the bill. The question was an
open one II had not been decided. and
it was not likely to be decided until af-
ter there had been the fullest possible
debate on the bill.
GRANITE AND MARBLE.
When the items as to marble, stone and
slate O03 TO 10O were reached. Mr. Hoar
inquired as TO the distinction made be-
tween granite a New England product,
and marble. largely a product Of Tennes-
see. the latter having a specific rate OF
duty and the former an ad valorem. An
explanation was made by Mr.. Jones Dem.
Ark), a member Of the Finance Commit
tee, and the discussion was Joined in by
Messrs. Hale and Frye. Of Maine; Hoar,
of Massachusetts, and Morrill,, Of Yer
mont. Mr.. Jones assumed that the ques-
ton was raised 10 create the idea that the
Senator from Tennessee Harris) had un-
duly influenced the Finance Committee.
but the fact was in the bill as 1t came
from the House, the duty on marble was
specific and on granite ed valorem. He
added that the two Senators from YER
mont Nlorrill and PROCTOR had advocated
in committee high rates Of duty on mar

THE RATES.
The rates were fixed as follows:
On marble, in block, rough or squared,
only fifty cents per cubic foot.
on marble, sawed or dressed, eighty-nve
| cents per cubic foot.
On manufactures Of marble, onyx, or
alabaster forty-fve per cent. ad valorem.

Thinking Up n Subject.

The models who own costumes however
belong rather to the lower world of students
than to successful artists. Most OF the
known artists of Paris have great quanti-
ties of costumes, armor and furniture of
their own Edwin Lord Weeks, an Ameri-
can, long resident in Paris and a student
of all eastern lands Is an example OF his
experience Of oriental life American read
ers are beginning to learn something in the
magazines. Mr.. Weeks has tapestries and

Moorish stuffs until his pretty house on the
Avenue Wagram looks like museum. AS
for supplementary costumes there are spe-
cial dealers, who send out their notices and
cards. Five francs day will rent deal

With the models who own costumes, Dos
ing in them for the young men of the acad-
emies. wholly different world of artists
model life Is reached. Formed artists treat
their models with gravity; students frater-
nfze with them. 1t is at once one of the
amusing and pathetic sights in the world
to sit at night in such students b-asseries
as the Harcourt and watch these models
and their companions (tombees dams la fete)
as they sit with their students, art and
medicine and law. Many are still fresh
even as fresh as sixteen years Of age
They look around them superciliously
They are not like other girls in brasseries
They accompany their students, play cards
with their students and take an equal Fart

icine and art should bore them to DEATH

After the face the important thing is the
figure and its lines. Beautiful hands and
feet in particular are very highly priced A
fine breast is not easy to get and the corset
is responsible for great deal of disfieure-
ment. L have seldom heard great artists
object to the female figure having its corset
on when fully dressed. That improves on
nature. But let them not expect to pose
with great success. Now the quality of sup
pleness comes in. For this reason the law
minimizing Italians are such successful mod
els. The police register shows that more
Italians are down as artists models in Paris
than there are artists to employ them
When model possessing this quality of
suppleness. stands up, all the lines seem to

may have stood long time in some trying
position. studied out carefully by the artist
who scarcely knows If he is pleased with IT
or not. IN moments pause, merely to rest
herself, she may fall into an attitude so
