Senator Lyman moved to reconsider
the vote of Tuesday upon Senator Nc
Candless' suggestion for an absentee
tax.
Senator Brown said he believed in
the general principle of the absentee
tax, but to take up the matter now
would delay the Internal Tax Bill. 1t
was proper to place the measure be-
fore the House as soon as possible. He
favored bringing in the absentee tax
as separate measure, so as to pre-
vent delay. The committee should have
time to look into the matter.
Senator Lyman sanctioned the sug-
gestions of Senator Brown The matter
should be given thorough investiga-
ton.
Senator McCandless held that there
was no time like the present A dis
cussion in the Senate would help out

sideration.

A New Steel Schooner.

In speaking of the new all-steel
cruiser Honolulu, recently launched at
Glasgow, the S. F. Examiner says:
She was especially constructed for the
Pacific Coast coal and lumber trade.
The Honolulu, it is said, will prove to
be one of the finest vessels of her class
ever brought out here. She is four
master, the masts being of steel, as well
as the hull, and is known among sea-
men as the "baldheaded" variety. She
is 1872 feet in length on the water line,
AZ feet beam and Is feet depth of hold.
The schooner was built for the syndi-
cate represented here by A. P. Lorent-
zen, which also owns the John Ena.
The Honolulu will fly the Hawaiian
flag, because her owners hope that
some day the islands will be part of
the United States, and in that event the
schooner will have the right to fly the
American flag. The Honolulu. has a
capacity of 100 tons of merchandise
or 100000 feet of lumber. She is
fitted with bow and stern ports for ser
vice in carrying lumber. Captain Mad
sen, formerly commander of the
schooner Ida Schnauer, has gone to
Glasgow to take command of the new
schooner She will carry lumber from
Puget Sound to Australia and come
back with coal when she enters upon
her regular duties.

This is not a fish story" the story
teller remarked. ''It's a horse story

coming in on train from Connecticut,
and as the man that told it was at least
50 years old and had no reason for tell
ing anything except the truth at that
time of life suppose it is true. We hap
pened to be seated together, and. after
talking about one thing and another,
something induced him to ask: did
you ever bear of horses almost capsiz-
ing a schooner OF course I never had
heard anything like that, and replied
accordingly. So
"'When was young man. he con-
tinued, a schooner came to the town
where I lived for a load of horses that
had been picked up for the city. The
skipper rugged up lot Of stalls on
deck and at high tide the horses were
driven on board. It yves late in the
afternoon before the last one was barred
in, and, being about feeding time, the
crew opened bundle OF hay and fed
the horses, first on one side and then
on the other. Then the strangest thing
happened. The horses were hungry.
and they were not long in sticking
their heads into the feed. Those that
had been fed first began to eat first, of
course.
I'm a few minutes the schooner be-
gan to roll from side to side, and the
crew ran about like wild men. They
didn't know what to do, and the horses
kept on eating. It was this way, you
see: Every time the horses on one side
of the vessel had their heads down for
hay the horses on the other side, as it
happened, held their heads up while
,naunching, and vice versa. The CEN
ter of gravity changed every time
horse moved. and as the horses were
eating quickly the upward and down
ward motions affected the. vessel 90

size. Queer, wasn't itT What did they
do" / was obliged to ask. I don't
know the old gentleman replied. I
had to leave then, but heard they
thought of taking away the feed. -

Most of the worlds supply Of cam
phor comes from Japan and Forlnosa.
OF late years the demand has begun to
exceed the supply, and the question has
arisen hcw the latter can be maintained.
One of the reasons why camphor is be-
coming scarcer and dearcr is said to be
that it is extensively used in the manu-
facture of celluloid. At present cam
phor is mainly produced from the So
called camphor tree. which attains n

and having trunk over 14H :eet
in diameter. The tree is common
in China, but az yet the produc-
tion Of camphor in that country
10 very limited. The camphor tree il a
member of the laurel family, and is re-
lated in genus to the cinnamon tree. 1t
Is said that camphor can be produced
from other species Of trees. In Borneo
a very aromatic camphor is obtained
from the natural deposit of gum on the
trunks Of species of tree indigenousto
that island and Sumatra. Borneo CAM
phor Is rare and very costly.-Youth's

Once in awhile trout fishermen see OF

the animals are seen On the ice by rab-

the wounded oreven killed creataresare
recovered, since they are usually on the
ice near air-ho1es, and If merely

stonseA Trs1hle In Childrsa and Its
Cause
In children the intestinal canal II rel
atively of greater length than in adults,
while its muscular tissue II proportions
ately less. For this and other reasons
an unsuitable diet quickly causes irreg-
,llarities of the bowels in children.
It is safe to say that whenever chill
dren suffer. from constipation the food
which they receive is ill-suited to their
&tomachs IL not actually harmful to
them.
Infants who are brought up artificial
ly, on cows milk, are peculiarly subject
to constipation. The milk is often
found to curd IN lumpy flakes, which
pass through the intestines undigested.
In such cases the milk should be given in
a more diluted form, with perhaps the
addition of little lime water.
Cream and butter are to be recon-
mcnded on porridge and cornmeal. Oat-
meal gruels should form part of the
dietary of older children, who should
also be encouraged to drink % much
water as they crave.
When constipation is found to beper-
sistent, the child's diet should be reg
ulated with a view to counteracting it.
For children of three yenrs and older,
bread made of unbolted -four, bread
and molasses-not sirup, stewed prunes,
orange juice, honey and bread. olive oil
and olives, codliver oil, peaches, fresh
vegetables. baked apples and ginger
bread should be occasionally parts Of the
bill Of fare. ~-'
A iudicious administration of this
class of foods will avoid all necessity for
castor oil, rhubarb and other household
remedies, which are often given to
harmful extent with out the family doc
tors orders or knowledge.
Abdominal massage is a useful method
Of overcoming attacks of constipation
in infants. It should be performed
three or four times a day. very gently
and with q warm hand. The best time
for it is while the infant is feeding,
when the abdominal wall is soft and re-
laXed.
A little dry salt, followed by q glass OF
water, is often relished by a child, and
is beneficial in cases Of constipation.
A sut1iciency of fresh Dir and regular
exercise, when combined with a proper
dietary, will rarely fail to avert the
threatening evil Of chronic constipation.
