II do not think there will be any
financial legislation this session or
the next" said Senator julius Caesar
Burrows, of Michigan, today at the
Fifth Avenue hotel. 1.-THE silver men
in the Senate have a majority, and
naturally they will not permit any
legislation which does not call for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
| 90 not see any prospect of financial
legislation in the immediate future.
If the silver senators wish it they can
pass an nlimited-coinage bill before
the session closes, but it will never
pass the house. "-Associat Press Re-

CLEANED from official inquiries In several

bad housing to intemperance, immortality
and crime, and the improvements resulting
from amelioration in living environments
are quoted at length.

Model lodging houses everywhere have

Chapter XIII. reviews some of the more
important conclusions and closes with the
significant observation that the general
teaching of the present inquiry affords in
most respects certainty and in others
more than a responsible probability, that
a final solution of a difficult social problem
can be wrought out along economical lines.

safe arrival at the port Of destination.

Coffee Drinking Theories.

1t Il hard to determine whether the
excessive coffee drinking of the Ameri-
cans is the cause OF their extreme
nervousness, or W ether their high
strung temperaments induce the crav-

prove both theories, but have not
agreed upon either. However, we are
nervous people, and we ara much ad-
dicted to the use of table stimulantS.
Coffee first became known contem-
porary with the discovery Of America.
1t is an evergreen shrub native in the
East, lea ing bright red berries, which
inclJse seed known a. the coffee bean.
The story gees that the Superior of
PARKWAY monastery was once told by
a shepherd of the singular activity
displayed by his sheep after browsing
upon certain shrub The Superior
made an infusion of the shrub and
gave it to his monks, no ing that it
would assist in keeping them awake
during the night devotions. Itwora ed
like a charm, and the fame Of the
little brown coffee berry soon spread
abroad. 1t was not introduc d into
England until the middle Of the seven
tenth CENTURY. Sir Henry Blount
went to Turkey in 1861, and found that
the Turks had drink called @kaupte O."

AbYssinian sunerstition.

The Abyssinian has singular super
stition about eating in the open. To
him fit Of indigestion from overfeed-
ing would mean the evil eye. He would
feel assured that some one had seen
him in the act of appeasing his appe.
tite. In walking along q highway in
Abyssinia traveller came across what
appeared to be large bundle of wash
ing near the road He investigated
the matter, and thus describes the re-
suit in the Century;
On approaching it, movement 60
ing on within was plainly discernib.e.
Covered up in their shemas, or cloths,
were three men eating their midday
neil. So much in fear of the evil eve
are the people, that they carry anu
let's containing prayers, and rolls of
parchment several yards long, and pic
lures illustrative of the triumphs of
the good spirit over that ocular alb
surdity are kept in their houses for
protection.
If an Abyssinian sells you anything,
and is we'll inclined, he will caution
you to heep it indoors or covered up,
for if an evil eve should fall upon your
purchase it may spoil or disappear,
which latter contingency is much the
more probable in Abyssinia.
I had some experience of the kind OF
evil eye that caused goods and chattels
to disappear. : cleaned for an in
slant in the head of an Ethiopian
whom caught walking off with some
dollars from a pile in our payma,te r's
tent. The corner of the evil eye smiled
when detected, but the smile faded
away under the influence Of the pay

Poor Minister,s Wife.

There lives in certain small town a
minister with q large family, that his
salary does not begin to cover literally.
SO the congregation have donated cast
off clothing for the children, and even
the poor minister's wife goes to church
in the last years bonnet and cloak of a
deacon's wife. The poor lady has grown
used to this, and does the best she can
with the conglomeration of dresses,
cloaks and hats which are sent her,
though the result is sometimes tragic.
However, she has always felt that she
did nobly by the children, and If the
dresses and cloaks and trousers were
insists, none were ever unkind enough
to say anything about it. Last summer,
however, she dressed the nine hopefuls
with great care and marched them Ia
church. She was a little late, and just
as she opened the door and started up
the aisle her husband Numbered from
the pulpit: Gwen Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one of
these" He did not see the joke, but

her face, to one at least, is the fairest
in all the world; that the heart which
to her is the greatest and noblest, holds
her sacred in its innermOst recesses
above all other women, gives her a
strength and courage, and energy and
sweetness and vivacity which all the
