How the Party - nds an the Four Princi-

Washington. Dec. IL. : Chairman
Richardson. of the Democratic caucus
yesterday issued the following call for
a caucus: "A caucus of Democratic
members and delegates of the house OF
representatives is hereby called to meet
In the hall OF the house on Tuesday
evening next. Dec. IA. 1897. at 1880
o'clock" The caucus will consider the
four subjects of Cuba, Hawaii. finance
and bankruptcy. these subjects being
specified in the call. AS to the action on
these primary general understanding
has been reached among the Democrat
lc leaders. On the subject OF Cuba the
sentiment is practically unanimous in
favor OF a resolution favorng the rec
ognition of Cuban belligerency, and the
caucus is likely to give expression to
this sentiment.
On financial questions the caucus
probably will take a position against
the several plans of financial reform
recommended by Secretary Gage The e
is no present purpose to consider the
silver question, as that is not an issue
in the legislation contemplated by the
Republican majority Opposition to the
bankruptcy bill is also contemplated by
the caucus. On the question of Ha-
waiian annexation ii is stated by those
who have canvassed the feeling on the
Democratic side that it is practically
unanimous against annexation, either
by treaty or by legislation.

Pearson said IL should be understood
that quite a number Of those members
who signed the call were in favor of the
civil service idea. They felt, however, that
the principle itself was put at stake by
the present administration of the law.

TO PREVENT BIlIOUSNESS
Americans Should Eat More Green Vege

tables and SalaGs.
Authorities on diet believe that il
would be well for most of us who are
in health TO eat more green vegetables
with our meat and starchy foods than
we do at present, says the New York
Post. Indeed. some go so far as to be
Iieve that the absence from our menus
of plenty of green vegetables and salads
accounts for the Eiliousness of the
American people. The best known of
such plants are lettuce, beet-tops. dam
delion, kale and spinach, but Mr.. Col
vile. botanist of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, finds that
there are many other palatable and
healthful plants that, though rarely
used, might add n pleasant variety tn
our list of available vegetables. One of
these winter cress,' or Barbarea proc
COX. which is cultivated from this city
southward and is sold in large quanti-
ties in the Washington markets, -
planted in late summer early fall
and needs very little cultivation. An
other plant that belongs to the spinach
ard beet family, though it is a com
mon weed in fields and gardens in near
ly every part of the United States. i
lambs quarters" or Chenopodium al
bum. 1t is in many places commonly
known either as pigweed or goosefoot,
but it is not the true pigweed. The
plant has pale-bluish green color. AMI
is used when six or eight inches high
is tender, juicy and pleasant TO the
taste. The teasing weed. the common
garden ''pusley," or 'purslane," when
boiled is also recommended as n mos:
palatable green vegetable and can easily
be had. In India where il originated
the plant has been used for hundreds of
years. In Europe il is used both as a pot
herb and for salads.
