WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Sixteen good
working days did congress put in for
the short session before the holidays and
really made commendable speed. In the
senate the Nicaragua canal bill was dis
cussed with marked ability on both sides,
and the friends Of national university
presented their arguments in detail.
Senators Vest and Hill did their pretti.
est for cloture resolution, with some
Did from others, and good deal Of un-
finished business was disposed OF. In
the house several appropriations bills
went through with whirl. Messrs.
Pickler and Henderson got off their
speeches to the effect that the pension
roll is a roll Of honor and did it better
than usual, while the regular indorse-
ments thereof were delivered by the
usual members.
A Piece Of Resistance.
All interest, however, centered and
still centers in the currency bill, which
is to be for this session the piece de re-
sistance, as we say in Paris. The com
mittee on banking and currency made
q very successful imitation Of the Dutch

said, II will take two days to consider

CUT YOUR BREAD THIN.

Many physicians, according to lect
urer on dietetics, are ordering thir
bread and butter for delicate patients
especially those suffering from dyspepsia
consumption, and anaemia. or any who
need to take on flesh. This thin bread
and butter insenslbly induces persons tc
eat much more butter than they have
any idea of. 1t is extraordinary, says
the lecturer, how short a way a pat Of
fresh butter will go If If spread on a
number of thin slices of bread. Tnis is
one advantage, and a great one, in
the feeding of invalids, for they are
thereby provided with an excellent form
of the fat which is so essential for their
nutrition in way that lures them to
take it without rebellion. But the thin
bread and butter has another advantage
equally great-ft is very digestible and
easily assimilated. Fresh butter made
from cream is very much more dlgestible
when spread upon thin slices of bread
than the same amount of cream eaten as
cream. per sc, would be.-New York
