ODOR Or FEATHERS.
II Il Due to Their Being Improperly on
Hastily Cured.

Hastily Cureu'
Properly cured feathers have no odor-
When there is a close, disagreeable odor
present. il is due to their being i'm
broperly cured There is no remedy
which we are aware of for this. Airing
the feathers will do no special good.
The smaller the stem of the leather
the less danger of trouble. The odor
comes from the decay of the animal
matter in the pith of the feather, ana
the larger the stem the greater the pro-
portion of this matter and the more
likely 10 be trouble. Where feathers
have been subjected 10 the proper de-
gree of heat at the beginning before
decay takes place all the pith is thor
oughly dried out and cannot become
odorous. Where the pith has once
been left to decay and infect the 1eath'
ers with its foul odor, harm has been
done that cannot be completely undone'
IT, is waste OF time TO attempt TO disln'
feet such feathers. All feathers should
be "done over" at least once In SIX OF
seven years. They are improved by
hanging them out occasionally i'll the
rain and sun, to enable the ticks to be-
come thoroughly aired and cleaned
Modern invention has introduced Q
little modern ventiator in the side OF
the new pillows which pumps ar
among the feathers, and, it is said
makes the pillow lighter. 1t always
pays to buy the best feathers because
they are 80 much lighter, that bulk fol
bulk the best are no dearer than the
poorest. 1t is generally cheap feathers
with coarse qulls that become odorouS

New York. April A.-Bradstreet's Fl
nanclal Review tomorrow win say:
Bullish sentiments continue 10 animate
current speculation, the present week
having witnessed Increased activity and
broader conditions. as well as further I'm
prOyement In prices. though at the close
OF the week there were slgns Of weari-
ness.
The movement seems TO be based upon
desire 10 discount the anticipated re-
viyal Of trade, but It's character Is also
due in a large degree TO the example af-
forded by the recent speculative revival
in London and the better standing which
American securities are gaining there.
The latter tendency. indeed. does not
show In the form OF any special foreign
buying Of securities. All that can be
said Is that the balance Of arbltrage
transactions between here and Europe
Is In our favor. while there is some
foreign buying Of bonds In small lots.

DAYS DOINCS
AT WASHINGTON
Sectarian School Question Came Up
10 the Senate, but Vas Prompt
ly SqueIched by German.
PENSION BILL IN THE SENATE
Connelly Strongly Objected to Gfaating
reasions TO Confederate Desertsfs Who.
Ne Asserted were Anast Cow
ards at the Least.

Washington, April zL-The senate gave
today to the sundry civil appropriation
BILL without completing IT, The debate
was largely OF n formal character. Con-
trAry to custom, there win be Saturday
session OF the senate.
The Venezuelan debate came up when
the item OF The snndry civil bill was
reached authorizing the venesuelan COM
mission to pay rent for It's quarters. out
Of the $4,000 appropriated for It's ex-
pensea, German suggested that no new
legislation was In order. In great haste
and In great emergency congress had
appropriated 5000 at the suggestion OF
the president for the purpose. as was
supposed. OF preventing war. But now
II appeared that the Investigation was
not effective IN getting quarters TO the
commission
Allison explained that the comptroller
OF the treasury had ruled that the VeneE-
uelan appropriation could not be used for
renting a building within the District OF
ColumblnA Allison added that the comp
troller was very rigid In his rulings, as
was well known. German expressed
arnazement at this condition OF affairs.
There is feeling prevalen. through
the country" added German. that the
emergency In this Venezuelan question is
past. II. indeed, Il ever existed. At all
events. II is gratifying to know that this
grave question has dwindled down to
question OF rent OF quarters for the
Venezuelan commission"
German insisted on having the Venez-
uelnn item go over until he could com
municate with the treasury department.
The sectarian school questian came up
in a new form when the Items were
reached making an appropriation for the
Providence and Garfield Hospitals at
Washington for the care Of destitute in
dlviduals.
Gallinger proposed an amendment re-
quiring a contract TO be made by the
Providence hospital. This brought for
ward German In some general statements
on the sectarian question. He said he
confessed his amazement that the con-
gress OF the United Staets, or any party
in control OF congress. should be so far
swept from the plain dictates OF justice
as to raise the sectarian question against
hospitals. II II was for political pur-
poses. German declared. IL would react
on It's authors. German moved to lay
the amendment on the table and the
motion prevailed without dissent. Cor
man withdrew his opposition to the ven-
ezuelan item. and II was adopted.
