AIabastine.

Chicago Inter Ocean, Feb. %: Readers
of the Inter Ocean have often seen Ala
bastine prominently mentioned in these
columns during many years past. The
main counting room on the first floor of
the building was daintily and beautifully
decorated with Alabastine, both walls and
ceiling, seven years ago, and has been
nicely cleaned FIVE times, though badly
smoked each year.
The same room has just been handsome
" redecorated in freehand Alabastine
modelling in the delicate tints and other
Alabastine work, and the effect is very
beautiful, even surprising the original
work of seven years ago.
The original Alabastine (the hot-water
kind supplied nearly all demand for
ready made wall coatings throughout the
whole of the United States for sixteen
years.
This is the same as the original except
being in form adapted for use in cold wat
er. Alabastine is a cement that forms
permanent coats, admits of recoating from
time to time without removing it's old
coats, and hardens with age.

CONGRESS.
Senate.

The question of whether business was to,
be done by the Senate this week was raised
by Mr.. Pettigrew Is R., S. Do when the
Senate met on the 29th. Mr.. PettigreW
proposed that tue Senate direct a. confer
ence on the Indian. appropriation Dill. MI
Chandler (Rep., n. H. gave notice that he
would object to any business being done be-
cause there was general understanding
that some should be taken up during the ab-
Sence Of man ysenatOrS in New YORK TO at
tend the ceremonies of dedicating the Grant
monument. Other senators protested no
such agreement had been made. During the
presentation of memorials, Mr.. Spooner
offered one from several thousand men en-
Wisconsin, asking for the enactment OF the
lumber schedule of! the Dingley BILL Mr.
Vest Dem. Mo- offered resolution for
comprehensive inquiry by the commerce
committee of the Senate into the cases OF
and remedies for the Mississippi floods and
said he would call it up at the next meeting
of the Senate. At 12:32 p. N. the senate
adjourned until the Sd.
House.
The House on the 23d completed the con-
sideration of the Senate amendments to the
indian appropriation blls and sent the bill
70 conference. The main contention as OH
the day before centered about the Senate
nroposition to open the Uncompahgre Indian
reservation under the mineral land laws:
FINALLY an amendment was recommended
to the effect that no corporation should be
allowed to obtain possession of these gill
sonite deposits, but that the government
should lease the lands In Im1ted areas anu
for limited terms of years. Under the reso-
intion adopted earlier in the day the speaker

NAVAL EXPERIMENT TANK.

To be Built at the Washington Yard, and
to be About as Big as = Dry Dock.
An experimental tank in which minia-
ture warships will be tested is to be
constructed soon at the Washington navy
yard not far from the great shops where
all the navy guns are assembled. The
tank will be the first of it's kind in the
country, and the largest under cover. It's
dimensions closely approach those of the
big dry docks, and the depth will be suf-
fcient to float any of the smaller cruisers.
On all sides it will be covered, and the
water will be supplied by the city reser-
voirs or pumped from the Potomac.
From end to end the tank will be just
500 feet long and SO feet across, and
inside the water space will be 475x43
feet. Its depth will be Il feet. Run
ming across, close to the water, will be a
carriage upon which there will be at
tached a dynamometer to register the re-
sistance due to towing a model through
the basin. Models, varying IN size from
ten to twenty feet, of every new ship to
be built will be attached to this ma
chinery and drawn through the water.
The wave motion will be observed and
the resistance it offers will be calculated.
The models will be plain affairs, con-
structed only with a view to presenting
closely the actual lines of the ship it is
proposed to build. Through the expert
ments it is estimated that the plans of
all proposed vessels can be improved and
valuable information gathered for use in
designing the lines of ships. The cost
of the tank will be 100000.
For years the navy asked for this ap-
preparation but got it only from the last
Congress. The use of such tanks abroad
is common. Constructor Hichborn is the
designer and promoter of the new tank,
which will be ready for service in about
ten months

Weird Concert.

There was queer scene in the Paris
catacombs the other day. Some forty
musicians and a rather more numerous
audience assembled there to indulge in
their taste for the grewsome. Sitting on
damp chairs, which had been placed at
one of the crossways of the intricate and
interminable galleries, lined on each side
with skulls and human bones, "a concert
was given, which will long be remem-
bered by those who participated IN it as
musicians or listened to it as the audi
ence. The programme, comprised Che
pins Funeral March," Beethoven's
Funeral March, Saint Saens' Death
Dance,n etc. The musicians were from
the CONSERVATORY of Music, and the audi
ence was composed of people of position.

More Greed than Patriotism.

Much Indignation has been caused in
England by the discovery that British
firms have, within the last three months,
shipped an enormous quantity of war ma
and machine guns, to the Transvaal by
way of Delagoa bay. Inasmuch as the
Beers are avowedly and openly preparing
for conflict with England, the war ma
terial III question is obviously intended for
use against British troops. The English
government has, in consequence of this, es-
tablished rigid system of observation in
all ports of the United Kingdom, and
at every fishing town detectives from the
police department at Scotland yard have
been stationed for the purpose of co
operating with the local coast guards.

A Secret Handed Down by the Inc

Cause of Thanksgiving to Many. /
Their knowledge of Health
Thousands To-day Who Have Awaited
Themselves of Their Medicines Praise
the Instinct by Which They Learned
Natures Secrets.

Did you ever get up in the morning with q
bad taste in the mouth, furred tongue, dull
pains in the head, sickness at the stomach, &C
companied during the day by pains under the
right shoulder blade, difficulty in breathing,
spots before the eyes, a dry cough, cold hands
and feet and hundreds of other similar dis
tressing symptoms? If so you can make up
your mind that your liver is out of order, and
as soon as you have made up your mind to
this, the sooner you make up your mind
to get it in healthy condition again, the
better it will be for you. Nothing leads
10 such serious trouble as diseases of the
liver, as shown by the above symptoms.
Poisons which it is its duty to discharge from
the body remain in the system. They soon
become boarded up in the other vital organs.
They hinder them from performing their func-
tons, and destroy their usefulness. The blood
becomes frightfully corrupt and it is but q
short time before the sufferer is completely
Frustrated with an illness that is apt to keep
him many weeks from his work, If indeed he
succeeds in ever again getting well. We should
advise all sufferers from such complications to
resort to that great remedy that was known
and used by the Indians, KiclSapoo Indian
Sagwa. For disordered condition of the
liver, as well as for all affections of the kidneys
and stomach, and for purifying the blood, jtis
positively marvellous. The following letter, in

Mark Twain's Elephant Ride.

In following the equator Mark Twain
conscientiously endeavored TO enlarge
his long list of accomplishments. In
India he took a lesson in elephant
riding. He says:
ITO the elephant stables and took
ride, but it was by request. 1 did not
ask for it and did not want it, but l
took it because otherwise they would
have thought L was afraid, which
was. The elephant kneels down by
eomInand-one end of him at time
and you climb the ladder and get into
the hOwdah, and he then gets up, one
end at q time, just as ship gets up over
a wave; and after that, as he strides
monstrously about, his motion is much
like ships motion. The mahout
bores into the back of his head with
great iron prod, and you wonder at
his temerity and at the elephants pa
tienee, and you think that perhaps the
patience will not last; but it does, and
nothing happens. The mahout talks to
the elephant in a low voice all the time,
and the elephant seems to understand it
all and to be pleased with it, and he
obeys every order in the most content
ed and docile way. Among these %
elephants We're two which were larger
than had ever seen before, and if L
had thought could learn to not be
afraid l would have taken one of them
while the police were not looking.
