Washington, Feb. 6.-To-day's session

the further consideration of the bond bill

therefor. The features of the days pro-

phasis, that if there was to be a war,

publicans were ready at any time.
The debate in favor of the Senate sub
stitute was opened by Mr.. Wheeler of
Alabama, a member of the committee on
ways and means, who replied to Mr.. Ding
ley's speech of yesterday. He asserted
that every allegation of Mr.. Dingley's
upon which he based his argument for the
gold standard was falacious and unsup-
ported by facts. He took each statement
Of Mr.. Dingley's in detail, and made a
plausible argument in favor of free silver
coinage.
Other speakers were C. w. Stone, rep,
Of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Settle, rep, of North

SMOKE CIGARETTES MADE OF TEA.
Women of Fashion Copying n Fad
From the London Smart Set.

FROM Nne set
From the New York Journal.
Cigarettes of tea are the latest They
form the newest fad Of the smart set of
London, Paris and New York. They have
not many devotees here as yet for they
have only found their way across the
ocean. In London, however. the fashion
has attained considerable proportions. In
the region OF Kensington tea cigarette
club" has actually been formed, and every
day it's members gather together to gos-
sip and be frivolous. 1t is club of wo-
men.
Pure green tea of the finest quality,
though this rule is not set, and any kind
of tea may be used-is what is generally
taken to form these cigarettes. Many or
the SWEETEST London shops have them al
ready rolled and done up in boxes, but
the woman of quality likes to prepare
those she uses with her own finger tips,
taking first the conventional bit of white
paper and putting within II about the
same quantity of tea leaves that she
would tobacco. Only her tiny tea box
is filled with leaves that are we'll moist

one might call at any number of to-
baccO shops in either of the three cities
ly ignorant that such q thing as tea
cigarettes existed. Only shops that ca
ter to a high and fashionable trade keep
them and these not to any extent.
Ono of a little coterie of New York wo-
men who took up the new fad a month
or so ago and are immensely pleased with
It, described the taste of the tea ci-
garette" to the writer a day or so ago
somewhat in these terms:
TITS so different from tobacco, no mat
ter how good a quality Of tobacco you
may try, that it's hard to tell just what
the sensation is when you take your first
puff There's a freshness, a scent about
it, that tobacco at its best can never give
It's sweet and cooling to the throat, and
1t mildly exhilarates you at once. Half
a dozen cups of tea,-and strong tea at
that-would need to be taken to give
you the same effect that you can get
out of one cigarette. Then there's an
other very important point-a tobacco
cigarette is best only during the first
two or three puffs. After that the smoke
gets the cigarette itself and spoils the
flavor But with tea just the reverse
happens. A tea cigarette is good to the
very end.

girls can roll an ordinary cigarette cap

RENOWNED ENGLISH MIRACLE.

"in one of the English chronicles when 1
was digging about in search of early Lon

saint now dead and forgotten; sainted be-
cause he was child, and because he was
foully murdered, and because his murder
was discovered in some unexpected man

w. into a direct and most admirable mira
Gle. 1t Is the history of Kenelm, young
King of Mercia. He succeeded his father
at the age of Z, and was placed under
the tutelage of his aunt Quandrida. This
princess, ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS,
thought that, IL her nephew were out of
the way, she might succeed and reign in
his place. She therefore suborned one of
the royal guard, Ascobert by name, and
persuaded him to murder the boy. While
Ascobert was considering the subject lit
tie Kenelm had a dream. He saw a noble
tree. with wax lights upon 1t: He climbed
to the top, but one of his friends cut 1t
down, whereupon he was turned into a
bird which flew up to heaven.
This dream, though the child knew IL
not, portended his DEATH which happened
Immediately afterward, for Ascobert took
him out under pretense of hunting MUIR

Quandrida took possession of the throne,
and for a brief space enjoyed the pleas

conscience. Mark, however, what follow

after the dove and read ii for them thus:
In the pasture of the cows, Kenelm, son
Of the king, lies under thorn, headless''
Inquiry was made into this divine COM
munication, with the result that the body
of the boy was found and brought with
singing of psalms to the church of Win
chelcomb, where was the Mercian Kings
palace. Is that all? You do not know the
legends of the saints or you would not
ask that question You have heard of the
miracle and the angel and the dove. Now
then, of the magic. Quanrida, in a great
rage at the discovery, and at all the sing
ing of Psalms and thanksgiving for mira
cles put her head out of the window and
began, for some artful sorcery, to sing
the Psalm backward. Wonderful to relate
her eyes fell out Of her head and upon the
Psalter which she held. Long years after
ward they showed the very Psalter stained
with blood of this muderous aunt as a
proof of the miraculous finding Of the
headless king.
