1T IS TRUE.
A Horses Head IL ~ Long - . Flour
EarreL

A Horses Head IL ~ Long ~ . Flour
II Is probable that at first thought
most persons would be inclined to doubt
the accuracy of the old saying that u
horses head is as long rs -four bar
rel. Flour barrels vary somewhat In
length. Some are made siouier and
shorter, sumr slender md u little high
er. An average flour barrel is about 20
inches In height.
A man to whom the old saying was
familiar made up his mind the other
day, SAYS the New York Sun, TO see for
himself Just how near right 1t was and
he measured the heads OF three horses.
One OF these horses was said to have
rather large head for its size; 1t wasn't
n very big horse. Thishorse's head. ex-
elusive Of the ears, measured IS inches
In length. The heads OF the two other
horses, which were horses OF fair aver
age size, with average heads. measured.
one. 81 inches. the other 27M inches.
So that this investigator discovered TINT
the old saying was substantially true.

oysters will be u very rare delicacy
In few years" said an oyster man OF
New York to u Washington Star report
or. FOR many years the beds were
preserved to large extent by having
AN oyster season and keeping alive the
popular idea that oysters were not good
except from September TO April. This
gave four months during which the
oysters were left alone and allowed to
increase. As a matter Of fact, l think
they are n little better during those
four months than ut any other time.
This was first discovered by the seaside
hotel men. and oysters were served dur
ing the summer months. The guests
demanded bivalvcs when they re-
turned 10 their homes, and now In all
eastern cities the signs OF Fresh
Oysters are rs numerous In July
and August rs in January and Febru-
ary. The new demand Is being sup
piled, and at no time are the beds left
undisturbed. II is now only question
OF few years before the oysters are
gone. and all because the summer resort
hotel men disabused the minds OF the
people rs to their not being good to
eat from April to September"

minutes of John James Ingalls,"
In commenting on the foregoing from
the Topeka Capital, the Lawrence
Journal rep. says: perhaps. But
readers of more or less ancient history
will remember that the last speech Of
Importance made by this man John
James Ingalls, in the Senate Of the
United States was on exactly the same
lines as those followed by His Pitch
fOrkship, In fact, the speech Of In
gals would suffer by comparison, for
Tillmsn was denouncing the things he
has always denounced, while Ingalls,
was betrsylng his party and berating

done, or helped to do. The Senate
really did not need Mr.. Ingalls, just
then-nor at any other time"

The Indiana Republican finance plank is
as follows: 1--WE favor the use Of silver as
currency, but to the extent only and under
such regulations that It's parity with gold
can be maintained, and In consequence are
opposed TO the free, unlimited and inde-
pendent coinage OF silver at a ratio Of 10 TO
l. We demand rigid enforcement Of all
existing immigration laws by the national
government, and the enactment OF such
further legislation as will the better pro-
tect our people against the influx Of the
criminal and vicious classes Of foreign
countries"
Speaking Of the situation in Texas, the
Galveston Tribune (Dem gold-bug) says;
"a few weeks ago there was disposition
to ridicule and in some quarters to censure
the Tribune for predicting that as things
were going the Popullsts stood to win the
coming State election in Texas. Now the
same prediction is freely made on all sides
by well.informed politicians as well as by
obseryant newspapers. The prospect Is
not more pleasing to the Tribune than Il
Is to a great many other papers, but the
Tribune does not deem 1t good policy TO
practice deception by concealing the truth"

How Treaties Are Made,

"The treaty-msking power is given to
the President, in connection with the
Senate, by the constitution" writes ex-
President Harrison in his "This Country
of Ours" article In May Ladies' Home
Journal, "The initiative the negotia-
tions with foreign governments leading
up to an agreement, and the framing Of
the articles Of the tresty-is with the
executive. TIE Senate has no part in
the matter until the President Communi-
Gates the treaty to it, and asks its
concurrence. 1t may then, however,
either concur or reject or concur with
amendments. 4 When the exec
utive has agreed with any foreign power
upon treaty, and it has been duly signed
by the plenipotentiRries for their re-
speCtive governments, it is sent to the
Senate for it's concurrence and is con-
sidered there in secret session. What
ever may be said as to the wisdom or
necessity Of secret sessions for other
purposes it is msnifestly necessary that
the terms of treaties, and the discussion
Of them, should in many cases be kept
in the confidence of those charged with
concluding them, until they are con-
cluded, 4 X
"Though all the attempts in the con-
stitutionsl convention to give the House
OF Representatives part in the making
Of treaties failed, it is still true that many
important treaty stipulations depend for
their execution upon the action of the
House. If treaty stipulates for the
payment Of money by the United States,
the money cannot be taken from the
treasury without an appropriation. It
may be said that as q treaty is a part of
the supreme law OF the lsnd,' it is the
duty Of Congress 10 appropriate the
money necessary to carry it into effect;
and that in the making Of the sppropris-
ton the House has no right to consider
the question of the value or propriety of
the treaty. But, all the same, il the
appropriation is not made the treaty
fails. Usually appropriations
to carry out treaty have been given
freely by the House; but there is power
to withhold them, and 80 to defeat the
treaty, AS to treaties involving our
revenue laws, the House having by the
constitution the sole power to originate
revenue bills-has claimed the right to

pet on board a man Of war that it lost
its senses through fright at the extra
ordinary turmoil during a battle in
which the ship vas engaged. Before
the fight it was lively and intelligent,
but soon after hostilities began it was
seen to be covering in terror. 1t took
no notice OF the attention paid to it in
order to calm it. gradually became
dull and stupid, and always returned
the same answer to questions pu5 to
it, no matter how varied they were.
Poor Polly never recovered from it's

the strange experience would have on
