st. Paul and General Electric less prominent

MARVELLOUS RESULTS.
DIR. Damon's Method of Treatment Sur.

from the Daily Star1

"By what knowledge and power arc these
wonderful cures performed" is question
asked daily by individuals OF one another and OF

netism on purely scientific principles, as do DIR.
Damon and his associate, DR.. Maynard, cannot
fail to bring that relief from suffering and dis
which no other method Of treatment can
attain When 1t is remembered that these doc
tors are regular eiucated physicians from the
best medical colleges in the United states,
capable of doing all with medicines that any
other physician can do, and added TO that the
fact they are endowed with the magnetic
power to cure disease to a greater ex-

to that class of diseases which have been expert

ferer has given up in despair of ever getting
well some kind friend suggests they try Dr.
Damon with his magnetic power and superior
skill Reluctantly they at first do so, and to
their surprise and Joy in n short time they f1nd
themselves on the road to rapid recovery, and in

not as much difficulty in collecting it as there
was in collecting personal property tax. He
did not think it was u good argument against
the bill to say that the people were too dis
honest to have the tax collected. In his opin-
ion it was the most just and equitable tax that
could be collected. 1t might be Improbable,
however.

Hampshire (Mr. Chandler), who has just ex-
pressed the same views as Mr.. Dolph. and to
the Senator from Oregon and to any other
Senator who makes the claim, that an income
tax cannot be collected because the people
are dishonest, that it is slanderous to the
American people. 1t is an assumption that
the American people for mere pittance will
commit,perjurv.
Messrs. Chandler and Dolph both jumped
to their feet to reply, and both were discussing
the question. while Mr. Teller lay back In

True and Tried Receiptes.

Grandma's shortcake and what can be
done with it-Sift one quart of -four with two
teaspoonsful of baking powder thoroughly.
Then mix with it one teacup full of lard and
two butter, half-and-half. mix with one pint of
sweet milk. Roll out to the thickness of one
inch and bake in dripping pan in quick
oven. The dough should be soft as can be
handled and baked in a quick oven.
Strawberry shortcake-Make the short
cake according to the above receipt and bake
on jelly tins, two or three at a time. When
done. split and butter well. Sift sugar over
each and spread nice, fresh berries between
the layers. Do not mash the berries, but
serve with milk or cream.
Another way-Bake the shortcake In a
single sheet in a second size dripping pan.
When done, split open carefully on a meat
platter larger than the cake.
Have well washed and fresh mashed berries
in a bowl, into which stir in one teacupful
of sugar. Serve in squares. 1t is most de-
licious, and may be made still more so by
adding rich milk or cream to the cake when
served.
Strawberries plain should always be washed
by putting them in a collander or wire sieve
and gently pouring water over them. Pile
neatly in glass bowl and serve with pow
dered sugar.
Strawberries with stems on-Some persons
prefer the natural flavor of the fruit to any
thing that can be combined with the straw
berry. Such should select fine, large berries
with the stems on and wash in the sieve bath
to free from sand or impurities. Then serve
plain and eat on natural
Strawberries for breakfast-When the sea-
son is at its height nothing can be daintier
than a breakfast of nice, fresh homemade
bread and butter with a saucer of strawber-
ries and a cup of clear coffee. Besides, that
is my English only with this difference, the
English substitute the fragrant cup of tea for

The Period for Wcnninc.

There is no settled period for weaving. In
savage countries children are sometimes
nursed until they are years old; with us it
is usually stopped after the teeth begin to
come. showing that the child's system is
ready for other nourishment. When there
are six to eight teeth it is safe to assume that
the child should be completely weaned, but it
is not well to do this suddenly. II the child
is thriving, gaining weight. which is the best
test for any kind OF food. begin by leaving
out one nursing at night and giving artificial
food, say thin cruel of some kind. once a day.
Watch results and increase the substitution of
the meals gradually. As soon as an artificial
food has been found that does as well for the
baby as its natural supply, it is safe to wean
altogether. The whole thing is n matter of
good judgment. There is no difference be-
tween the sexes in weaning.

NO CHANGE IN RULES.
Unlikely That Any Effort Will Be Made to
Prevent Long -Winded Speeches.

Prevent LONS-N SpScSnCS-
Although many propositions are introduced
In the Senate looking to an amendment of the
rules. nothing has resulted from them. The
Senate, which makes up the Committee on
Rules. generally selects the most conservative
members of the body for that committee. At
least, in the present Congress, the majority of
the committee are wholly opposed to any
changes, and the Republican members are not
likely to assist in adopting new rules which
would in any way restrict their privileges and
powers. The proposition submitted by Sem
ator Gray, of Delaware, yesterday, providing
that no Senator shall read speech or read
extensively from books or papers, has
for its object the shutting off of what are
known as long -winded speeches, but more
especially to cut off speeches which are sup
posed to be made for the express pur-
pose of killing time. This matter was
under discussion during the extra session
when q silver debate was on. the question
being whether Senator could have a docu-
ment read at the clerks desk. In the course
of the debate Senator Teller told something of
the traditions of debate in that body. He said
that il was never intended that n Senator
would present speech and read it. 1t was
understood that he should prepare himself.
and that he ought to do, but the reading OF
speeches was practice that had grown up of
late years, and was not contemplated when
the Senate rules allowing entire freedom of de-
bate was first inaugurated. The object in pre-
venting the reading OF speeches is that while
Senator may be content to read for hours
without single Senator listening and not
more than two or three in the chamber, he
would probably not be disposed to talk to the
same kind OF an audience. and it is further be-
lieved that there would be very much less
speechmaking. This is no doubt true. but the
whole matter would probably be debated until
next December before any rules looking to-
ward the closing of debate or any startling in
novations introduced in the Senats were car
ried out

FAIR COKPLEXIONS.

With the regularity ofhouse cleaning women
discuss the best kinds of Spring treatment to
purify the complexion. One declares she
Mould be miserable all Summer without her
April and May medicine OF cream tartar and
sulphur which she takes with syrup three
mornings and then skips three until she
judges her liver is all right Another says a
regular course of dieting is better In her case
than any medicine. She begins by leaving off
potatoes, which she considers too heavy TO be
taken as regularly as they are by most people,
and she begins her breakfast all Spring with
half q grape fruit. To make this more pala-
table she cuts out the center and fills il with
rum, sherry or any cordial, with a lump Of
sugar. So many recommend grape fruit as
liver tonic there evidently must be some vir-
tue in its use.
The old-fashioned remedy for bad blood
and yellow skin is still adopted by many.
The French cultivate dandeions as carefully
as they do escarole, and they are much eaten
as a salad or garnish for their medicinal quail
ties. But here their use rs q vegetable seems
to be in so little favor. that they cannot be had
at any of the stores, so women who believe
thoroughly in the virtue of this Spring herb
have to resort to making tea of the roots
which can be purchased at the drug stores.
Tomatoes, cauliiiower. green pepper. olives,
spinach, beans, sprouts. radishes, and onions,
all have place in the list ofvegetables which
are considered desirable eating at this season.
Hot tea favored with lemon juice or rum
seems to be a favorite beverage during the
diet period. Infinitesimal doses of calomel,
massage. and cold sponge baths are variously
mentioned. That the French woman drinks
goats milk from the middle of April to tn.
middle of June as the best complexion
remedy has no effect on the majority of
American women, who show their disgust
very plainly Mt the mere suggestion. Occa-
sicnally one is found who for the sake of a
fair skin has conquered her repugnance and
has her milk dealer deliver her jar every
day. at 10 cents each. She claims that this is
very nourishing as well as an excellent purga-
tive. And SO they talk on. but most are will
