HOW TO PRESERVE BOOKS.
Directions For Preventing the Attack 4
Insects.

Directions For Preventing the Attack OF
Insects.
Keep all books in dry, warm, well
ventilated room and frequently remove
them from the shelves and dust thor
oughly. If insects have made their ap-
pearance, the books should be busted
with mixture of powdered alum and
white pepper, and in March, July and
September they should be rubbed all
over with piece of wooden cloth steep
ed in solution of powdered alum and
dried.
The shelves should also frequently be
busted with alum and pepper. The at
tacks of insects upon books are mainly
caused by the use of bad paste, which
would be preventive if mixed with
alum and vitriol, all insects having an
aversion to mineral salts.
All worm eaten wood in the depos-
itories of books should be brushed over
with lac varnish, and no books should
lie fiat. To preserve books from damp
quicklime has been used most effectual-
~. A small vesselful of lime placed
near bookcase is better than blazing
fire for the purpose. The lime must be
changed every three days.

The Arkansas River Overiows and Sweeps
Through the City.

WICHITA, Kan, June 23.-The Arkan
sas river has broken its banks here, and Il
portion of the city is flooded. There is
great alarm among the colored people near
the levee, and hundreds of them are ice
ing. The water is higher than it has ever
been and is still rising 1t is very proha
bio that the whole city will be inundated.
A deep, swift current is now flowing over
BisweLl park and the adjoining residen-

rising rapidly, and another two feet will
send it sweeping down Main street. The
lower floors of many houses are already
under water, and people are excitedly
loading their property into boats
The great rains have swollen all the
streams of this section, and most of them
have broken over their banks. The farm
ers have already suffered an immense loss
through the destruction of their crops and

How Ice Cream Was First Made.

The man who invented ice cream was
a negro of the name of Jackson and in
the early part of the present century
kept small confectionery store. Cold
custards, which were cooled after being
made by setting them on n cake of ice.
were very fashionable, and Jackson con.
ceived the idea of freezing them, which
he did by placing the ingredients i'll o
tin bucket and completely covering it
with ice Each bucket contained a
quart and was sold for 81. 1t immedi-
ately became popular, and the inventor
soon enlarged his store and when he
died left a considerable fortune. A
good many tried to follow his Example.
and ice cream was hawked about the
streets, being wheeled along as the
hoky polly carts are now, but mono OF
them succeeded in obtaining the favor
that Jackson had in his products.

PREFERRED CHARGES OF BRIBERY.

Nebrasl<a's Senator Recalls Stories of Vel
low Envelopes Being Exchanged For
Votes, but He Refused to Make Direct
Charge-Progress on the Income Tax.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The debate on
the income tax in the senate consumed
nine hours and was marked by some very
interesting and sensational incidents. Only
one set speech was made-that of Mr.. Pat
ton of Michigan-the remainder of tho
time being consumed in eXtemporaneous
debate.
Perhaps it was the extreme heat of the
chamber, the thermometer dancing around
the 80 point throughout the day, which
had bad effect upon the temper of the
senators. At any rate the i'll humor was
exhibited by almost every one who spoke.
Mr.. Teller was the only senator from his
side of the chamber who made an argu-
ment in support of the income tax provi-
sion. Mr.. Sherman opposed it in a brief
but vigorous speech.
Mr.. Allen, the Nebraska Populist, in the
course of his argument in favor of the bill,
drifted into the discussion of the domina-
ton of the money power in this country
and hurled charges right and left at both
the Democratic and Republican parties.
Mr.. Hill, who is bearing the brunt of the
opposition to the income tax proposition,
was alert and vigilant all day, attacking
it at every vulnerable point
The sensational incident grew out of
an attempt on the part of Mr.. Harris, the
Democratic manager of the tariff bill, to
force Mr.. Hill to reply to some of the ar
guments made after the usual hour of adj
journment. Mr. Hill resented this as an
attempt to crowd and embarrass him be-
30 l. IN
ponent of the bill upon the Democratic
side, calling attention to the fact that the
courtesy he asked had never up to this
time been refused.
Mr.. Harris and Mr.. Hill became involved
in heated controversy, which finally
ended in an exchange of personalities, in
which Mr.. Hill referred to the plantation
manners of the senator from Tennessee,
and Mr.. Harris responded in kind by re-
ferring to the manners of the ''slums of

The house adopted the antioption bill
by vote of 40 to 81. The last day of the
contest was much more interesting than
the previous days of debate. During the
two hours allowed for amendments num-
Der were offered, many of which were &C
cepted by the committee of the whole, but
when final action came in the house all
amendments were rejected and the bill
passed in its original form, except that
