In the contest now pending for United

Wanamaker for his success are based on
his unlimited amount of hard cash, and

man who votes tor a millionaire for United

Many mothers are sickly, fretful, helpless

the pains of their own wrecked constitu-

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Lodge immigration Bill Has
Right of Way in the Senate,
PROSPECTS FOR ITS PASSAGE.

IL Ia Conceded That the Measure VIII BE
Acted Upon Favorabiy should Il Reach
Vote TaIlS of the Holiday Adjourn
mont.
WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-THE Lodge inn
migration bill, as the unfinished busi-
ness, will have the right Of way in the
senate each day after O'clock until dis
Sosed Of and the friends Of the measure
have announced their determination not
to cease their labors in it's behalf until
vote shall be secured upon it. 1t is inn
possible to say how much time will be re-
quircd on the bill, but Senator Lodge is
hopeful that he will got it through this
week. Senator Gibson, Of Maryland, has
announced his purpose to talk in opposi-
tion to the bill, but he declines to state
whether he will resort to other tactics to
defeat ii. 1t is conceded that the bill will
pass If It should reach n vote.
After the immigration bill comes that
providing for free homesteads on lands oc-
cupied by Indians as reservations. The
present homestead law does not apply TO
these lands. 1t is claimed that the fact that
1t does not has cost many settlers their
homestead rights. The question is avital
one in many portions Of tho west, and has
been particularly prominent in Oklahoma.
Senator Pettigrew is the especial cham
pion of the bill, and he will show that it
was indorsed by the national conventions
of all the parties last summer The bill
will be vigorously opposed, as it is claimed
that its enactment into law would cost
the government no less than S25, ,OOO, 600
1t is probable that these two measures
will consume the greater part of the time
of the senate this week, and it is quite
possible that they may not be disposed Of.
The bill providing for the election Of sem
ators by the direct vote of the people is a
special order for today but it may go over
to a future date. Senator Allen is likely
60 call up the Dingley bill at any time.
/ There is n possibility that congress may
| on Thursday or Friday adjourn over until
after the holidays. The Cuban question
may furnish a topic for n sensation at any
/ time.
! 1t has not yet been decided when the
holiday recess of the house shall begin,
but at Saturdays conference of the Re-
/ publican members of the ways and means
committee u date as early as Friday Of
this week was suggested. 1t is probable,
however, that the recess will begin about
Wednesday of next week and continue
until the Monday after New Year. This
week, except today, which is District of
Columbia day, and an hour of Tuesday
which has been set aside for the consider
alton of the bill to transfer the present
rights of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad
under its government charter to the
mortgages, when they reorganize, will
be devoted to the consideration of the
army and legislative appropriation bills.
1t is the expectation of the leaders that
both these bills can be passed before the
recess Should any time remain it will
probably be given to the committee to call
up such bills as.they have on the calendar

CIGARETTES,
Pretty Boys Who Smoke.

"Does cigarette smoking injure the
lungs ?" asked some one of a leading
New York physician. For his answer
the doctor lighted Il cigarette, and. in
haling mouthful of smoke, blew it
through the corner of his handkerchief
which he held tightly over his mouth.
\ dark brown stain was distinctly visi-
bic. "Just such stain," said the doc
tor, "is left upon the lungs" If YOU
ever smoke another cigarette, think CT
the stains you are making.
There is a disease called the cigar.
ette eye, which is regarded as danger
Gus. a film comes over the eve, an.

And did you know that boys have been
made blind by smoking cigarettes ?
How would you like to part with your
sight, and never again behold the light
of day or the faces of your friends?
Shall [ give you two or three pic.
lures? A writer greatly interested in
young people Josiah Leeds) described
a pitiful spectacle which he saw-a
pale, woe-begone boy, seemingly less
than ten years old: standing at the en-
trance of an alley, without hat, his
dllapated trousers very ragged at the
knees, his hands in his pockets, shiver-
ing with cold, yet whiting away at a
cigarette.
DR.. Hammond says: "I saw in
Washington a wretched-looking child
scarcely five years old, smoking a Gig.

nostrils. His pale, pinched face was
twitching convulsively, his little shoul-
ders were bent, and his whole appear,

Homemade Candy.-An odd and de-
lcious candy is made by boiling pint
Of cream with pound of maple sugar;
put them over the fire together and let
them heat slowly until the sugar is
melted, then boil rapidly for one hour;
if the sugar is very moist, longer boiling
will be required. Pour into we'll but
tered tin pans lined with waxed paper;
when partially cold, cut into. squares
like carmel. Just before it is taken
from the fire walnut or butternut
meats are sometimes dropped into one
part of it for variety. ..
Lemon Pudding.-Make suet paste
with one-quarter pound of suet and one
half pound of sifted flour, and line a
buttered bowl as for any other boiled
pudding. Take one large lemon, and
to the Juice add three or four table
spoonfuls Of light brown sugar-sugar
varies in sweetness. hence the direc.
tions-and enough flour to make the
mixture as thick as honey. Put layers
of this and rounds of crust alternately
until the bowl is filled; cover with the
crust, and boil for three hours.

Durable whitewash.

The great drawback in common.
whitewash is the want of durability, it
being necessary to renew 1t every year;
but an improved preparation may
be made at very low cost, that when
properly put on will last some years
and look very WE'LL It is made as
follows, for five gallons: Slake six
quarts of good lime in hot water, cover
ing it up while in process of slaking, TO
Keep in the steam when slaked, strain
through course cloth add one quart
of salt, prepared by boiling in water
until dissolved, and the impurities
have been SKINNED off also add one
pound of alum, one-halt pound of
copperas, three-fourths of a pound of
potash, four quarts of very fine sand,
and color-hg to suit fancy This prep
aration should be put Oh hot if prop
erly done, it makes q durable paint.
TO make a brilliant white, to the
amount Of lime above mentioned, add
onefourth Of pound of burnt alum,
one pound of refined sugar, three pints
of rice flour made into a thin paste,
and one pound of dissolved glue. This,
like the other, should he applied hot.
If the lime be good. it will make a
very pure white that will last some
years. 1t is said, with what truth
we cannot vouch for, that the east end
of the White House ct Washington
was at one time covered with this
preparation. There can be but little
doubt that it is economy to keep rough
board fences and out-buildings covered
with cheap paint of whitewash
it prevents decay by keeping the water
out of the wood it also adds very
much to the appearance of the home.
The outlay is very trifiing indeed,
except the labor, which can be done by
the farmer or his boys. when other
work is not driving. It is believed by
many that it pays to whitewash the
shingles on the roofs of buildings, as II
not only assist to prevent decay, but ii
is great safeguard against fire.

THE EARLY DEAD.
The Way Some People Commit Sui.

Should Live.

The Way Some People Commit Sui.
cide.-A Great Many Die Who
Should Live.
There is something inexpressibly
painful in the recollection of the early
dead, when there is reason to suppose
that their deaths are premature, need
lsss, and often self-induced and this
is undoubtedly the case in a great num-
Der of instances. Persons die when
they might have lived, when they
ought to have lived and when they
would have lived had they taken pro-
per care of their health and strength.
There are few people who know just
how much it takes to kill human be-
ing. Death is to them far-of doom
to which, in some mysterious way, they
may at some time be subject but they
have little expectation of death, and no
definite idea of the causes which lead
to 1T. And yet in many cases they are
doing from day to day many things
which necessarily imperil and shorten
human life. A sudden chill when
heated, the unaccustomed wetting of
the feet, sitting in draft of air; eating
and drinking unduly; over exerting
any power of body or mind, over-study-
ing, over-working, exposing ones self
to danger-these, and multitude OF
other things, may lead to sudden and
unexpected death.
Then there are certain other things
which slowly but surely tend to the
same result; the neglect to properly
clothe and protect the body; wearing
too thin shoes and thin clothing when
exposed to cold, may easily and sud-
denly cut short our term of life. Dress.
Ing closely about the waist-which is,
in a great majority of American wo-
men, never allowed to grow beyond
the size of a girl of ten or twelve years
olG-weakens the system, hinders the
powers of digestion, enfeebles the vital
organs, hampers the lungs to yield to
slight attacks Of disease which never
would prove fatal if the constitution
had not previously been injured and
undermined.
There are many persons who toss
their heads in lightness when admon:
ished to take care of their health and
avoid disease, who afterwards, when
feeble, weak, helpless, and given over
TO die, are ready tolisten to instruction,
take advice, and do anything; when
anything they undertake to do is use
less, because it is TOO late!
There are parents who are broken.
hearted, bereaved, and childless to-day
the sufficient cause Of whose bereave-
ment and desolation is the ligatures
with which they are allowed their
growing daughters to confine and COM
press their waists. They did not know
it at the time, but those who bad eyes
to see, knew that those daughters were
undermining health, blasting their
lives and preparing themselves for
early graves.
Christians should take heed to their
ways, and care for the health of both
soul and body, preserving their own
lives and the lives of those whom God
has committed to their trust. An un-
timely death is sad event, and it is all
the more sad when it is clearly due To
human folly, and the transgression of
the laws which God has written in the
human constitution.

when Lime May be eAdvantageOusly y
AppIied-Manuring Grass Lands.


Little may be applied advantageous.
ly on grass land in the fall, or on
wheat after it is plowed and before 1t is
fully fitted. If the land is alre ady
full of vegetable matter, it is probable
that the lime will do great good. Forty
bushels was considered fair dressing
in former years, but now ten to twenty
bushels per acre is considered the most
economical application. Buy stone OF
unslacked lime, place it il small piles
of about five bushels each at regular
intervals over the field, and cover
slightly with earth allowing the rain
and the moisture which rises from be-
low to slake it. If it is applied to the
wheat land, and there is not enough
moisture, then water may be drawn
and poured upon the heaps.
Immediately after this is done cover
lightly with earth, so that the air may
not so easily get to the lime. Spread
broadcast from sled or stone boat il
no convenient machine is at hand,
advises Country Gentlemen, authori-
ty, also for the following:
A good practice is to manure during
the winter on grass land intended
for corn. the following spring. Five
tons in good manure thinly spread
over the ground, would be the most
economical dressing. Usually farm
manures are spread poorly and too
thick. Tie corn to be followed with
oats, without any fertilizers or any
manures. Oat stubbles to be plowed
and treated to the same quantity
of manure as the corn and ground be-
fore narrowing. 1t is usually economy
to add some mineral matter in the
shape of commercial fertilizers. 1t is
seldom necessary to add nitrogen. Col
or and growth of the plant. should
indicate very accurately whether there
is a deficiency of nitrogen or not in
the soil.
The lime and manure should be put
on simultaneously-that is, if lime is
found to be very beneficial light
dressing might be applied with every
dressing of manure. Only by eX-
experimenting can it be determined
how often lining will be prof table.
The chances are that ten bushels per
acre, applied with about an equal
number of loads of manure every other
year, would produce very satisfactory
results. or the lining might be only
once in the course-that is, every four
or five years. Lime, strictly speaking,
is not a manure. 1t is almost always
beneficial on both clay and sandy
lands, but whether the benefit will
equal the cost can only be determined
by trial. 1t usually acts very energeti-
cally on heavy lands full of vegetable
matter, making them more friable and
setting free large quantities of plant
food, which before the application
were dormant.

Sleeping Oh The Left side.

There is little doubt that an immense
number of persons habitually sleep on
the left side, and those vino do so can
never, it is said, be strictly healthy.
1t is the most prolific cause of night
mare and also of the unpleasant tast in
the mouth on arising in the morning.
All food enters and leaves the stomach
on the right side, and hence sleeping
on the left side soon after eating in
wolves a sort of pumping operation.
which is anything but conducive to
sound repose. The action of the heart
is also seriously interfered with and
the lungs unduly compressed. Hence
it is best to cultivate the habit of al
ways sleeping on the right side.

"DO You Suppose ?"

"Do you suppose" said Johnny, as
his little cousin laid away her largest
rosiest apple for sick girl, "that God
cares about such little things as we do?
He is too busy taking care of the big
folks to notice US much"
Winnie shook her head, and pointed
to mamma, who had just lifted the
baby from his crib. 'Do you think,
said Winnie, "that mamma is so busy
with the big folks that she forgets
the little ones? She thinks of the
baby first, cause he's the littlest.
Surely God knows how to love as well
as mother"
