Washington, ID. c., Dec. IA
moderate measure" is the character
ization which leading Republicans of
the House give to the new tariff bill
which it is proposed to frame this
winter in anticipation or an extra SEES
sion of Congress. 1t is explained that
what is desired is a bill which will
provide a sufficient revenue to cover
the deficit now existing, furnishing
proper protection to home industries.
1t is pointed out that conditions have
considerably changed since what is
known as the Mckinley bill became a
law. and that rates of duty that were
justified then are unnecessary at pres
ent. 1t is stated for example that the
tin-plate industry, which was enor-
mously stimulated by the duty of two
cents pound imposed on the McKin-
ley law, is now well established that
a return TO the former rate is unne-
cesSary.
The sugar schedule promises to
cause more embarrassment than any
other in the bill Some of the Repub-
liean members of the ways and means
committee say that the three states
which produce sugar-LOuisiana, Tex
as and Nebraska-gave their vote last
month to Mr.. Bryan, and this, in con-
nection with the position which the
members of Congress have always ta-
ken with respect to a tariff bill, will
be, it is asserted, a strong influence
against protecting this industry any
further than the necessities of the
case require.
The agricultural schedule will prob
ably be fixed at the former rate of
duty, while the wooden schedule, it is
said, will receive a sufficient protec-
ton to satisfy the manufacturers. The
cotton and steel and iron schedules
are not likely to be changed. The
present ad valorem system will be
changed to n system Of specific duties.
The bill, it is said, will contain provis-
ion that goods in bond will, when ia
ken out, pay the rates of duty in force
and not lower the rate at which they
were originally brought into this coun-
try. An arrangement will be made
whereby dates will be assigned to GER
tain interests to be heard so that there
may be some systematic method Of
giving the hearings without embar-
rassment. The date upon which the
hearings will begin will be made pub
lie when the full committee meets.

WISE OLD SENTINEL CROW.
A Bird That Could Count I'D 6
Twenty-SfX.

From the Chicago Record.
A naturalist who is much interested in
birds says that the crow is the wisest of all
feathered animals. He has made number
of experiments recently and declares that
an ordinarily wel-educated crow can count
to twenty. AMI that he has found sentinel
crow. very old and very wise. that can
count to twenty-six. He made these dis
coveries in a very interesting way
Last summer he spent much time ip me
mount aims, where cadet company Of boys
was camped. One day he found a flock OF
crows gathered around a dead animal that
lay near a little old shanty in the woods.
They tapped away when he approached.
So he hid himself in the old shanty and
waited but they would not come back. Then
he went out and walked on up the noun
tain. and they all settled down again to the
feast. That afternoon he took four boys
from the cadet camp with him. and the five
marched into the little building and waited.
No crows came back. Two of the boys went
out. Still no crows. Then the other two
went out and only the naturalist remained.
But the old sentinel crow had evidently
counted them as they went in, and he knew
they had not all come out. So ne sat on a
dry pine stump and said cav, cav" quite
derisively. At last the naturalist left the
building and straightway all the crows
turned. This experiment was repeated a
number of times with varying numbers of
boys. but the crows kept count, and would
tirely empty.
At last a whole platoon of the cadets
tWenty-six boys in ALL and the naturalist
marched into the old building. Then slow

did not stir. Two more, four more five

A Curious Little Plant That Eats Flies

FROM the New York Evening World.
young man who works at a desk in a
Broadway office came from his home in
Railway. y. j., with a curicus-loobing
plant embedded in some moist moss and
earth. When his associates asked him
what it was he said: Just watch it,"
They did. 1t was placed on his desk near
a window. In less than two hours every
petal was filled with dead fly. Then he
explained TO the clerk that this plant was
a fyeater. 1t killed and absorbed the flies.
My sister belonged to a botany class" he
said and she dug this from a swamp near

at it and said: when / come back from

Robert Louis stevenson's Wife.

In the Midland Monthly for June there is
an article by Mrs. c. F. Mclean on Robert
Louis Stevenson at Gretz," in France
where the novelist met his wife when she
was Mrs. Osborne and not yet divorced
from her husband, with whom, however
she did not live happily: The divorce was
writes Of Mrs. Stevenson:
She who is now the widow of the great
author was at Gretz in the summer of IL
At the age Of sixteen she had married in
Indianapolis the private secretary of Gov
elnor Wright. She had. however. gone to
Paris from the art school of San Francisco
where both she and her daughter then in
her first teens had been among the most
noticeable pupils. Mrs. Osborne was hardly
seventeen years older than her daughter,
and looked so little older that no amount
of assertion in the most vigorous French
ever did convince the peasants of Gretz
that mother and daughter were really not
SISTERS. There was also with Mrs Osborne
her little son, since then to some extent a
toworker of Robert Louis Stevenson 1t
was small wonder that artists who worked
in the ateiers with the two, mother and
daughter. related that often the students,

Julian Hawthorne has written of her as

she has acquired more repose and languor
tran she possessed at GretZ. There every
one watched her luminous eyes with the
expectation of seeing new expression light
UP their depths. Her head is shapely and
her hair, in the wavy outlines 1t then made
around her forehead, seemed to belong to
an artistic scheme of dark curves of which
her eyebrows and long eyelashes formed a

Reforming the World.


From Harper's Bazaar.

said to an impatient girl friend My DEAR
learn to allow others to be mistaken. 1t is
q difficult lesson to acquire, but it is one
that will make you ard all who come in
contact with you happier"
The wise advice often occurs to me while
listening to discussions and heated argu-
ments upon utterly unimportant matters.
Suppose John says that he left home this
morning for his office at $50 and Mary
knows that the hands of the clock pointed
to $40 as he closed the front door behind
him. Why should she tell him of his mis-
take! Nobody likes to be told that he is
wrong, and few Of US will believe 1t of
ourselves when we are told of it. When
there is no principle involved it is wiser,
gentler and kinder to let trif1ing error
pass unnotlced. If friend has bought the
material for a portiere and has had the
curtain made by seamstress under the
fond conviction that she has saved money
by so doing. why tell her that she could
have bought pair Of ready-made portieres
for what she has paid for the material
and the making Of one? 1t will only les
sen her enjoyment in her property, and do
neither you nor her any good When a
mistake is made and past changing let it
alone. 1t Is great undertaking to try to
right the world, and those whose temerity
permits them to attempt the task should
be careful that the so-called righting Is not
in itself a mistake.
