ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING.

Leggings are not much worn by pedes
TRANS in the city streets. but occasionally
you do see man wearing pair in rainy
weather, and they seem to be a very
sensible and comfortable storm equipment
'It is not unusual" said stroller, "to
see in the early morning, side by side at
the door, waiting to be taken in, the bread
and the newspaper; and, indeed, in these
days one is almost as essential to life as
the other"
1t sometimes puzzles the householder to
find that dates, for which his grocer
charges him the highest market rates, are
sold from wagons in the street as low as
81 cents a pound. But dates are of all de-
gress, and the wholesale price varies from
cents or less to 81 cents. while damaged
cargoes fetch less than the lowest of these
figures.
Gcographers are still vexed with the diff.
llculty of presenting truthfully to the eye
of the pupil the relative areas of the states
of this Union. The New England states
by reason of their dense population, have
long occupied in the school biographies
map space quite out of proportion to their
area, and few children leave school with
any clear notion that each of several Of
the smaller southern states is about as big
as all New England put together. II
Texas were represented in proportion to
tho space usually accorded to Rhode ISL
and in the school biographies, tss great
southwestern state must have to itself a
map fully yard quare.

Orders. Of the Day.
Mr.. Higgins Of York: Mr.. President
! notice that the new order OF business
for the Senate which has been printed
does not contain the change suggested
the other morning in this Chamber
There is no indication in this order OF
business of the place where orders are
properly TO come. / would suggest that
new ones be printed, as the matter seems
to me OF sufficient Importance to justify
this course. We ought to know when is
the proper time to present orders.
The President stated that the order of
business was printed from the original
prepared by the secretary at the beginning
of the session, and in order that new
order of business be printed it would be
necessary to introduce new order to that
effect.
Mr.. Shaw Of Aroostook-That was the
point was going to speak of. There has
been no order passed to direct any amend
ment Of the old order of business, and IA
now order would be necessary il new ones
are to be printed.
Mr.. Higgins of York; notice that the
Senate this morning concurrcd in the ac-
ton of the House in referring to the com
mittee on judiciary resolve in favor of
purchasing certain volumes of Maine Re
ports. / intended to call attention to the
matter at tho time, but through inatten-
ton / did not notice the resolve at the
moment when the vote of concurrence
was declared | now move to reconsider
this vote of concurrence. This is d qucs-
ton which concerns the purchase of Ger
tain volumes of Maine Reports. The facts
in the matter can only be ascertaincd by
consultation with the librarian; it is a
matter which concerns the library entire
ly, and it seems to me that it fittingly be-
longs to and can only be cnquircd into by
tho committee on library. This mixing
up of matters, and committing affairs to
committees which have nothing to do with
them think is all wrong, and there
fore move to reconsider the vote whereby
the Senate concurrcd with the House in
the commitment Of this resolve, and that
It he referred to the committee on

fcrred to the committee on library
