How Treatries Are Made.

s'The treaty-making power is given
to the President, in. connection with
the Senate, by the Constitution"
writes ex-President Harrison lin his
"This Country of Ours article in the
Ladies' Home Journal. 'The initia.
tive-the negotiations with foreign
Governments leading up to an agree
ments, and the framing of the articles
of the treaty-is with the Executive.
The Senate has no part in the matter
until the President communicates the
treaty to it, and asks it's concurrence.
It may then. however, either concur
or reject, or concur with amendments.
When the Executive has agreed with
any foreign Power upon treaty, and
it has been duly signed by the Pleni-
potentiaries for their respective Gov
ernments, it is sent to the Senate for
its concurrence, and is considered
there in secret session. Whatever may
be said as to the wisdom or necessity
of secret sessions for other purposes it
is manifestly necessary that the terms
OF treaties, and the discussion OF them,
should in many cases be kept IN the
confidence Of those charged with con-
cluding them, until they are con.
cluded.
Though all the attempts in the
Constitutional convention to give the
House of Representatives q 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 q
treaty stipulates for the payment OF
money by the United States, tbe money
cannot be taken from the Treasury
without IN appropriation. 1t may be
said as treaty is part of the supreme
law of the land it is the duty OF Con-
gress to appropriate the money neces.
sary to carry it into effect; and that
in the making of the appropriation the
House has no right to consider the
question of value or property of the
treaty. But, all the same, if the ap-
preparation 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 act upon consideration
of the wisdom or unwisdom OF the
treaty,"

A NoCTURNE.

All was darkness in the basement.
Leaning against the wall stood bicy-
Gle. Presently the sound of conver-
sation was distinctly audible.
Don't you think the Lubricator
and the Oil are getting pretty thick9"
murmured the Sprocket.
"No," replied the Pedal; "the Lu-
bricator seems to be stuck on the
Chain"
"That's what I thought" said the
Saddle; "but I get sat on 30, I don't
dare speak"
II think the Lamp and the Oil would
make a good pair" added the
Sprocket.
"Yes, except that the Lamp smokes
and goes out nights" whispered the
Pedal.
"That's why I spoke OF the Oil.

''The two mouths of the main tun-

be one foot to the 100, enough to drain

altitude of about 74OO feet. The sum-
NIT of Pixies Peak is IA, 900 feet above
the sea and Cripple Creek nearly 10,.i

or cross tunnels, at several different
points. One is to be at or under

the main line not far from Bald Noun

direction and under the summit of

Then another tunnel is to connect this
cross arm with the main line, joining
the latter near the south and the
branch on the west side of Pixies Peak.
It will run under the mining camp of
Gillett and not far from Grassy.
"The amount needed for the tunnel

1t Beats His Time.

A country boy, who was brought up
in a remote region of Scotland, had
occasion to accompany his father to a
village near which branch line OF
railway passes. The morning after
his arrival, when sauntering in the
garden behind the house in which
they were staying, he beheld with
wondering eyes train go by. For o
moment he remained staring at it
with astonishment, and then running
into the house he said:
"Fayther, fayther, come oft !
There's smiddy ran off wi row O.
houses, and it's ava doom by the
back O. the house."

great-grandfather."
They scanned him critically, but he
presented no evidence of being over
come by potations. He continued:
"The incident the gentleman has
just told as happening IN his own ez-
perience is one which I have often
heard my grandfather relate as an sz-
perience of his father. Knowing, as
I do, the perfect veracity of both the
eminent speaker and my grandfather,
the statement have just made 1 make

LEGQORN HATS.

Large leghorns appear with their
usual regularity. They are caught up
at the back in flutes, which are gen.
erously filed in with flowers. Roses,
lilacs, clover, colored tulle, and black
velvet are the favorite trimming for
these large hats; but bows of tafeta
ribbon in light tints are also used.
Tulle of two colors, puffed all around
the crown in front to almost cover the
brim, is very effective decoration On
the shade hats of rough soft straw,
and white lace combined with tulle
and flowers or with plumes and q
touch of black velvet makes very
pretty trimming.
