ont OF a contract made by Sbey during his
lifetime with the Government for the use Of
q patented invention in the manufacture of

should be removed in the case. and he thought
the equities were all against it,

Ter the morning hour.

previous question when the reading of the

Bland and others loudly protested that the
adoption OF the rule would cut them off, Mr..
Cultivate rejected all suggestions for amending
the rule aud demanded the previous question.
The Republicans voted solidly with the Demo
cratic opponents of the measure against ORDER
ing the previous question: aud il was defeated
By rising v0te-92 10 l0l.
Mr.. Cultivate demanded the yeas and nays
and the roll was called.
The roll-call was watched with intense in
terest, but the announcement Of the result or
the vote only confirmed the defeat Of the advo-
Gates Of the measure. The supporters Of the
bill made desperate effort to secure majority
of the votes, hut the previous question was again
rejecicd-l25 10 l29.
The advocates Of tie bill had suffered their
first parliamentary reverse. The failure to
order the previous question threw the special
order open 10 amendment.
Mr.. Cultivate withdrew the special order.
Mr.. McCresry. Chairman Of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs then moved to 20 into Com
mittee Of the Whole to consider the Diplomatic
appropriation bin, and it was carried without
division. The currency bill had been aban-

bill an opportunity TO reform their lines.
The Diplomatic appropriation bin WAS passed,
only few changes being made. The PostoAice
appropriation bill WAS also passed.

tsins an appropriation to carry the income tax
law into effect.
A yea and nay vote was taken on Mr.. Cock
rell's motion, and il was agreed to-432.
The appropriation Of $25, 900 for the enforce
ment of the Chinese exclusion act caused some
discussion, and the fact was developed that the
Secretary of the Treasury had estimated that
$4,000 was actually necessary for the remain
DER of the fiscal year, but for the present the
committee recommended the amount in the
bill
Mr.White said that the Government was deal
ing with willy and INSCRIPTIONS race, and that

tax law; to insert the entire Mckinley tariff
act. and to insert the wool tax.

Do the freckles prove stubborn? There
is usually a clamor for ''freckle cures
about this time Of the year, and the
very best thing that proves reliable year
after year is simply common buttermilk.
Secure it as fresh as possible. 1t will be
found that nothing can equal this fresh
buttermilk for removing tan, freckles,
sunburn r moth spots. 1t has the great
advantage that it does not injure the
skin, but makes it soft and white. Take
a soft sponge and battle the face, neck
and arms before retiring for the night.
Then wipe off the drops lightly. In the
morning wash it off thoroughly and
wipe dry with a crash towel. Two OF
three such baths each week during the
summer months will take off and keeI
off the tan and freckles and keep the
skin soft and smooth. -Philadelphis

A FAMOUS
The Familiar Lines Which Have been At
tributed to Martin Luther.

tri0ute0 TO M0rt1n Lutnef.
Nearly everybody is familiar in one
language or another with the famous
old German couplet attributed to Mar
tin Luther, and which literally and
properly translated into English is as
follows:
Who love- not wine, wife and song
Remains + fool his whole life long.
This supposed sentiment of the great
reformer has been quoted thousands Of
times as his, and its authenticity was
not questioned. But now comes a very
competent authority-The Lutheran OBJ
server-and stoutly insists that Luther
never wrote the lines, and that, in fact,
they made their first appearance more
than 900 years after his death.
According to The Observer, in the
year l777 IA we'll known German poet,
John Henry Voss. published at Ham
burg a small volume entitled "Musen-
almanach The Almanac of the
Muses.. At the cid of one of the
poems in this book he placed the coup
let in German:
Wer nitht licbt Vein. webb und gesang
Der bleibt Elm narr sein lebenlang.
To this effusiOn Voss affixed the name
of Luther. This caused a good deal of
comment and excitement. Voss was a
candidate for the position of teacher in
the Hamburg gymnasium. The Luther
an pastors OF the city protested against
his appointment because Luther was not
the author Of "the couplet' which had
been attributed to him, and because
Voss had thus made Luther encourage
intemperance. But in spite of all that
could be done in the way Of denial and
explanation the lines literally chung to
the great name and refused to be sepa-
rated, and we venture to say that com
paratively few down to the present day
ever doubted that Luther was their real
author.
AS the couplet expresses the convivial
sentiments of many Germans it is prob
able that it was a common piece Of I'M
written German folklore even before
Luther's time. Some English writers
have made the lines into a bacchanal
rhyme, with asinister meaning, but the
true version, coupling "wine, wife and
song" expresses the prevailing senti-
ment and custom among Germans in
taking their wives and children with
them to the gardens and other social re,
sorts for recreation and amusement. -

ELECTRICITY AT SEA.
Tests Prove That the White Light Is by
Far the Most Easily Seen.

TAT tBe Most E-aSlIy seen.
Some interesting experiments have
been made on the visibility of the cleo
trio light at sea by the governments of
the United States, Germany and the
Netherlands. The word "visible'' in the
report on the tests mean visible on a
dark night with a clear atmosphere.
The result of the experience of the Ger
man committee was that a white light
of one candle power was visible IA
miles on a dark, clear night and one
mile on a rainy night.
The American tests resulted as fol-
lows: In very clear weather q light of
n candle power was plainly visible at
one nautical mile; one of three candle
power at two miles; one of ten candle
power was seen by the aid of a binoc-
ular at four miles; one of 80 candle
power family at five miles and one of
33 candle power plainly at five miles.
On an exceptionally clear night a white
light of 80 candle power vas readily
distinguished at three miles; one of 5. 6
candle power at four miles and one of
17.2 candle power at five miles.
In the Dutch experiments the results
We're almost similar, but a 16 candle
power light was plainly visible at five
miles. For a green light the power re,
quired was two for one mile, Is for two
miles, 81 for three miles and 1O6 fo1
four miles. The results of tests with a
red light were almost identical with
those with green, but it was conclusive
ly proved that a white light was by fal
the most easily een.-Chicago Record.
