ment to the tariff bill of importance was
adopted by the. house today. that re-
pealing the reciprocity clause Of the Nc.
kinley tariff law. The entire day was
consumed by the New York Democrats

be offered along with other features of

mcnt to the Wilson bill. AS on yester-
day, several Democratic speeches severely
criticisins the bill were delivered. The
Democratic advocates of the income tax
became 80 impatient over the course pur-
sued by the New York members that
they concluded that the best way of
settling the question would be by holding
a caucus. This MIR. Wilson finally agreed
to. and on his motion the house recessed
and the fight was transferred from the

Speed of Electricity.

Tho fact is generally known that, ao- eording to the experiments of the late Professor Heinrich Hertz at Bonn, the velocity with which electricity is prop agated is nearly identical with the ve locity of light The identity may be per feet, but experiments have as yet failed to provo it so.
 In recent communication to tho French Academy of Sciences, M. Mas cart has shown that the mean velocity of electricity, as deduced from experi ments, is 1SS, fS5 miles per second. This is abont 1 per cent greater than tho velocity of light, which is 196. SOC miles per second.
 It is believed that if light and cleo tricity do move with exactly the same speed the velocity ascribed to light moro closely represents that speed than the velocity ascribed to electricity, because the experiments are most satisfactory and probably more accurate in the casC of light Youths Companion.

This is not alarming compared with the Navy, War, State and other de- partments. In view of it's value to the public, no money is better spent. but there is a lot of the outlay which ought not to be saddled on the peo- pie, such as the transportation of bogus trade papers and paper covered literature, mostly of the blood and thunder variety, claiming to be serials. , This stuff gets in the mails and is carried from the At- lantie sea shore across the con tinent at 1 cent per pound, inyolv- ing great increase in. clerical ex- pense, as we'll as cost of hauling The Postmaster=General is no doubt correct in saying that with such an incubus Topped oH, legitimate news papers and magazines could be car ried to subscribers free of cost.

It is astonishing the way they manage it adulterate it over there. The packers are so skillful that they slip Ill great deal of inferior tea and work it off under good brands. This makes the merchants who afterward handle 1t complain. Packages of tea of a certain brand will be found all that could be desired, while other packages bearing the same brand and ill the same cargo will be highly adnlterated. As this tea is very costly, there is need of experts to examine it. They must be good ones, for everything depends for the time be- ing on their judgment. A taster can
 
 only taste few hours at time, when he is weakened and has to take a rest. Besides this, when he begins a job of tasting, he must take special pains to get himself in shape for it. l was about six weeks getting myself ready for exam ming some cargoes ill the warehouses here for the government. Before 1 be- gan did not taste intoxicants in any form and did not even smoke. At the same time was careful not to eat strong peppers or spices. or, ill fact anything that could distort the taste. Ono must bo in as perfect condition, in order to properly judge of the teas he tastes, as horse is whom prepared for the Derby. He must be at his best and must feel that he is. The best tea tasters of the country make enormous sums, consider ing the time employed; $10, 900 year is a low sum, and oftentimes from $20, GOO to $50, 900 is made, and even more. know man i'll the business who made $50, 900.

JERRY SOUTH and Col. s.Tomo Newton should come to the front on the silver question. Where do you stand, gentlemen? Are you in favor of the free, independent and un- limited coinage of silver? The peo- pie are holding their breath. Ar kansas Press.
 Now, come, come What in the devil has the silver question got to do with the Speakership of the Ar kansas House of Represent tatives? There is reason and decency in all things, and our esteemed contempo. rary, the Press, should at least have rational intervals. Whether either or neither South or Newton is elected Speaker of the House will neither bull nor bear the silver market, and will probably never be heard of either in New York or London. Don't make a much ado about nothing The questions for the members Of the next House to consider are, are the candidates for the Speakership Democrats and competent to discharge the duties to which they aspire in dignified manner and with credit to the State and the Assembly. The silver ques= tion is no more relevant than their individual opinions of the Japanese Chinese war.

HE BATTERED HIS OWN CLOTHES.
His Bright Cook Succeeded In Getting th'
 Better of Him.

Better O1 Him.
 A citizen of Kiev, Russia, found fault with the dinner prepared by his new cook and rashly embodied his crit icism in cutting saroasms. The young woman heard him ill silence. In tEo evening he knocked up against man in deserted little street, and when he yentured to remonstrate he was vigor- ously assaulted Unable to get the bet ter of his adversary, he determined to do what he could at least to identify him later on, and with this object i'll view tore his assailant's fashionable clothes into shreds. On his return home, some few hours later, he found the cook standing at the door. ready to shaks tho dust of his house off her feet. The gen tleman, whose wounds and bruises left him i'll no very amiable mood, simply said: Joy be with youl Some time will pass before you get another place, And as to character-well, trust me to give you one that will stick. '
 On the following morning he discov- cred that his best clothes in the ward robe were i'll tatters and his glossy silk hat an unsightly wreck Hastily sum- moning the other servants to the room, he angrily asked them what they knew about tho matter, whereupon the nurse replied that the cook, in one of her freaks of fun. had donned her master s garments and gone out to walk ill them the evening before, sticking on an arti- fioial mustsehe to help to keep up tho illusion. Then it dawned upon the wretched man that his assailant of the day before was the touchy, turbulent cook Less than a fortnight later he re. ceivcd lottor through the city post in- forming him, i'll somewhat ungrammat- ical but unmistakablo language, '.Yon lied about the place, respected sir, when you said l could not get another if left yours I've been ill five different places since then, and I'll be going ] tho sixth next Monday.
