Secret Sessions unheld.

In the senate the use of the secret session
Is frequent and familiar. The senate rules
provide that on motion made and Sec
onded to close the doors on the discussion
of any matter the doors shall be closed and
remain closed during such discussion. 80
when executive nominations or treaties are
under consideration the galleries are clear
ed and the doors closed-only senator's and
certain necessary officers who are sworn TO
secrecy being allowed in the chamber.
There has been an earnest attempt made
to abolish the secret sessions of the senate,
but it has been Intellectual. These sessions
are called "executiye sessions" because
they are almost wholly devoted to exec
utive business-namely, the consideration
of appointments to office and foreign trea-
ties. 1t seems to me that IL Is quite as
necessary and appropriate that the con-
situations In the senate as to appointments
and especially as to treaties, should be con-
fldential as that the conferences between
the president and his cabinet, or between
the president and others whom he may
consult about the same matters, should be
so.-Ex President Harrison in February

Ten Tons of Poi Have Been shipped to
the United States.
Ten tons Of poi are ON the way to
Chicago, and that city will be the dis
tributing center for new food which
has just been imported from the Ha-
waiian Islands. This is the first ship
ment of the taro root to the United
States for general use. Its introduction
has caused no small interest. 1t has been
prepared carefully and is intended for
the sick and young children especially.
1t possesses large amount of nutrition.
Poi has been used by two families in
Chicago. The -four made from the root
is of a grayish blue color is slightly
granulated and has pleasant taste. In
its native country it is eaten raw OF
with water, but foreigners use it as
they do cornstarch.
The shipment is made by T. W. Hol-
man of Honolulu. His attention was
called to the possibilities of the food by
London hospital. American physicians
who have visited Hawaii have given il
high Endorsement, and it may become a
staple of commerce.

Comment by Rev. =. III. Doyle.
ToPlo.-Our little worries and how TO yet
rid OF them.-Ps. cxxi, l-8: John xiv, 1.
The One Hundred and Twenty-first
Psalm is one of the most beautiful of
the psalms. Some have supposed it was
written in exile. Others conjecture that
1t was used by the caravans of pilgrims
going up to the yearly feasts when they
first came in sight of the mountains ON
which Jerusalem stands. Whether IL
was the exile looking from distant
land to the mountains whence came his
help or the pilgrim nearing the sacred
city, the leading thought is the same
namely, that the Lord is our keeper,
and we may trust Him i'm all the vari-
GUS phases of life when there is trouble
and difficulty. 1t is the same thought
that is emphasized in John xiv, /: "Let
not your heart be troubled. Ye believe
in God; believe also in Me-
The idea expressed, that Jehovah,
the Maker Of heaven and earth, helps
and keeps the individual, is comfort
ing one. We might imagine sometimes
that the individual is lost sight of by
God in the myriads of people in the
world. We might be tempted to think
that our little troubles and worries
could not surely interest the Maker of
heaven and earth. But the psalmist
teaches us differently. my help" he
says, ''cometh from Jehovah, the Maker
of heaven and EARTH. 4" And again he
adds: Jehovah is thy keeper.
The sun shall not smite thee by day
nor the moon by night" God cares for
each one Of us. "Not sparrow falls to
the ground without His notice." and if
He cares for sparrow how much more
for those created in His own image?
The constancy of Jehovah's care and
guardianship is beautifully expressed.
Day and night He watches over us and
keeps us. We need not fear that our
keeper may sleep. "He that keepeth
Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. I"
He cannot sleep is the sense of this ex-
preston. His eye is always upon US
and His great, loving heart interested
in us at all times.
The universal application of Jehovah's
willingness and power to keep and mp
hold us is strikingly set forth. "The
sun shall not smite thee by day nor the
moon by night" Sunstroke is a special
danger of the east. In hot climates the
influence of the moon is often injurious,
causing dizziness and even death when
one is exposed for length of time to its
shining These two figures may illus
trate that in great trials (the SUM and
even in the smaller worries and cares of
life (the moon) the Lord is our keeper.
The Bible has but one plan of refuge
/ for all worries and troubles, whether
they are great or small We should cast
all our cares upon the Lord, for He
careth for us.

Personal Service.

OF the Saviour, and only Of the
Saviour, is it true in the fullest, broad
est and most unqualified sense, HE went
about doing good" From this descrip-
ton it is evident that He did good per-
sonally. The evangelists constantly tell
us He touched the leper with His finger
that He anointed the eyes of the blind,
and that in cases where he was asked to
speak the word only at distance. he
did not usually comply, but went Him
self to the sickbed and there personally
wrought the cure. A lesson to us. If we
would do good, to do it ourselves. He
hath left us an example that We should
follow in His steps. Lutheran OBJ

The Preaching of the Law.

Men 90 to great lengths to bring the
preaching Of the law into discredit and
disfavor. They strive to belittle the Old
Testament and the epistles that they
may destroy legal spirit, as they call
it, and establish the reign Of love. But
love is law. Love without law is not
love. God as sovereign has establish
ed law in the natural and spiritual
world. He administers law. Obedience
is life with honor; disobedience is death
with dishonor. Christian Intelligencer.

Undiluted alcohol, hard cider, Jamai-

perfumery are only few among many
beverages on which the Indians from
the neighboring Omaha and Winnebago
reservations aIe in the habit Of celcbrat-
ing their occasional visits TO Sioux City.
So far as known, however, Jim Hum
phry, thin, cadaverous red man of the
Winnebago tribe, is the only one who
goes on sweet spirits of inter DRINKS.
The pharmacist from whom Jim obtain
ed the drug had no idea of the purpose
TO which his customer put it, and the
Indian might have gone on indefinitely
had the within not struck him to change
to another druggist.
The latter didn't understand when
Humphry asked for 'piter mites, and
the investigation which followed
brought out the actual facts in the case.
Jim was speedily returned TO the reser-
walton minus the usual supply of his
favorite poison. No attempt will be
made to punish the druggist from whom
he obtained the drug, as the latter was
ignorant of the use to which it was put.

FROM EPIC TO PASTORAL.
The Battlefield of Appomattox Sold For .
Sheep Farm.

Sheep Farm.
Appomattox battlefield is to be turned
into sheep farm. That, at least, is the
present purpose of Major George A.
Armes, who has just become the pos
SCISSOR of this historic spot, comprising
about 5000 acres. Major Armes became
the owner of Appomattox battlefield,
including the famous apple tree, by
real estate deal with Mr.. $. S. Burdett
and Samuel Bryan, president of the
telephone company. The exact terms of
the deal are not known, but Major
Armes gives in exchange for the battle
field, which he says is admirably ar
ranged for sheep herding, the big brick
house on l street, between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets, Washington.
A syndicate of gentlemen. mainly
Appomattox battlefield few years ago
as speculation, paying about $20, 900
therefor, and since that time various
bills have been introduced for the pur.
pose Of having the government acquire
the property and create a national park
there, the same as has been done at
Gettysburg and Chickamauga. One OF
these bills proposed to appropriate $3.50,
900 for that purpose. Regarding these
measures congress and the committees
to which these bills have been referred
have shown very laggard spirit, and
one by one the members of the syndi-
cate have gradually dropped out until
