THE House members of the con ference committee on the tariff bill have determined to accept all the Senate amendments and get the bill back to the House before the Senate can pass resolution post poning action on it. The plan is to have the House concur in all the Senate amendments and immedi- atelY pass separate bills putting sugar, coal and iron ore on the free list. This is the latest programme on the tapis in regard to the tariff.
 The proposed separate bills put ting coal, iron ore and sugar on the free list will be passed by the House and sent over to the Senate before adjournment of Congress, and the campaign will be made this fall upon the issues raised by them.

WE are at q lost to understand why our wool producers 60 not re- alize good prices for their wool. The American Wool and Cotton Re- porter, speaking of the wool mar ket lately says: "The. demand for all sorts of feeces is as good, If not better than during the previous few weeks. Wools of delaine are worth 22 and largely taken at 21, Sales of the week amount to A. .O43, ,OOO domestic and 311 ,000 lbs foreign, making total of 5,304,00C pounds, against total of 1887 ,S5C of the previous week, and against a total of 920,000 for the cores bonding week last year.
 Is it not highly probable that the wool buyers have been bitten by the trust scorpion, which is poisoning and paralyzing almost every indus try in the United States, and have combined to force downward thC buying price and upward the sell ing price of wool?
 We can account for the depres sion in the price of wool paid the producer upon no other hypothesis

A quick step descended the stairs,
the red portieres parted and Mr.. Medill
stood between them, his tall figure ac-
centuated by long plum-colored silk
lounging robe. He made me feel at
home Immediately and in the CONVEX
sation which followed he said: II live
here nine months of the year for my
wife's health as well as my own. My
home at Altadena next to Andrew Nc
Nally's was burned in November, '92,
due to the carelessness OF a servant. :"
He rubbed his hands together mo-
ment, then, holding them out before
me, said: MY fingers have been lit

the second finger on his left hand like
toggle joint, "and this thumb is bad.
But they are improving now so | can
write well. i have been trying
simple remedy that has been limbering
me up"
Then he explained that far up in the
San Bernardino mountains, which rise
ten thousand feet above Los Angeles,
is a reservoir that accumulates pure
snow water, so soft that just to lave the
hands and face in it refreshes. To an
obscure hostelry near these waters Mr..
Medill repairs every few weeks to en-
joy the rare dry air as well as for the
healing water, and is constantly sup
piled with the water at his home here,
having it brought down to him. 1t is
not idle caprice that has led him to its
use, but scientific principle that he
has been studying for years.
This is how he tells it:
THE virtue of this water is not in
its mineral properties, but in their alb
sence, its absolute purity, in particular
its freedom from lime. That is the
substance, says he, that gets into
the capillaries of the joints and stops
the lubricating process that keeps the
joints timber. 1t obstructs the capil-

like to SOW the seed in boxes in the
house; it is so very interesting to watch
them grow. 1t takes such a very little
time for the seeds to poke their little
green promise above the soil, and so
very soon the smiling blooms appear.
1t is good plant for the amateur to
begin with, being such slight tax on
the patience, as few plants admit.
When your tiny plants are two inches
high transplant into thumbs and pinch
out the top. Going on with the growth,
continue the shifting and pinching
processes until they are in four-inch
pots, then desist; you will have finely
rounded compact little plants which
will soon be perfect little pyramids of
fragrant blooms.
A convenient and effective way of
growing the alyssum is to sow the
seed directly in long narrow boxes
fitted to the window sill and about
four inches deep. Its needs, grown
thus, will be light moisture, not too
hot sunshine, very occasionally weak
liquid manure and-room to spread it
self Given these, it will more than
reward you for your care of it by send

cence of dainty bloom, small and shyly

after awhile it is going too much to
seed shear it back sharply. 1t will
then spring mp to fresh growth and
be all the lovelier for the seemingly
rough treatment Then in the autumn
you will find around the larger plants
the tiny four-leaved ones springing up
which are just what you want in guam
tity for your window garden. A pretty
effect is produced by growing the
alyssun in clumps between taller
plants. 1t will spread itself out like
an oval mat and be a mass Of bloom.
Sweet alyssum makes a beautiful
bracket plant 1t should then be
pinched in less, rather allowed TO grow
in its natural hayward beauty, and
though the branches attain no great
length it is pretty in such a position.

In Paris elderly ladies are now wear

This combination is extremely becom-

A woman is never old enough to
neglect her appearance. Nothing can
be more disagreeable to tine sight than
a negligee old lady.
Unfortunately, one often sees one

brown and wrinxled. 1t would be EASY
to dispose little lace about it in order
to conceal the scraggy neck revealed

forty should carefully avoid becoming

generally by self-indulgence in the

DAINTY AND BEAUTIFUL.
Honey-5cented Sweet Alyssum and
It's Possibilities.
It Is Comfort in the House and a De-
light Out OF DOors-ConvenIent and
Effective Ways of Grow
ing the Plant.


Could l have but one plant either for
the border or the window garden it
should be that dainty, honey-scented
little darling, sweet alyssum, says Dart
Fairthorn in Vick's Magazine. Small
of growth and bloom, by those who
never see beauty except in dazzle Il
might be considered insignificant. but
TO the real fiower-lover who will not
be entirely given over TO scarlet ger
aniums and hollyhoclzs it possesses a
beau all its own. There is such
distinct individuality about its dainty
blossoms, such an air of good cheer
and comfortable adaptability to cir
cumstances-entirely borne out, too,
by its life-such a winsome sprightli-
ness and altogether lovableness that it
always reminds me of bright-faced
children whenever | see it.
1t is the laugh of the flowers. Some
of them preach and some of them pray,
but the sweet alyssum laughs right
out loud" The whole border may
preach, the lilies droop their lovely
heads, like penitents in prayer" the
callas lift their snowy chalices in mute
protest against the whole worlds

from sight, filling in chinks with it's
beauty, caressing the feet of roses and
rue alike, and seeming TO my errant
fancy to be keeping up a running ac-
compartment of cheerful comment or
an undercurrent of perpetual merri-
ment all the while. Like childhood it
is irrepressible.
The seed of the sweet alyssum, not
so fine as to be difficult to manage, is
fat and round, of light brown,or tan
color, and stored full of vitality. Plant
