MAY VOTE ON TARIFF SATURDAY

Washington, d. c., June 30-Senators
say rather confidently to-day that a vote
can be reached on the tariff bill Satur-
day. They say that nothing would be
gained by having the final vote taken
before that day, as the bill cannot be-
sent to the House before Monday, and
into conference before Wednesday.
Prominent Republican Senators say that
there is a general understanding, though
not definite, that the bill will reach a
final vote Saturday, but the Democrats
have entered into no agreemnt, nor do
they feel under any restrictions by any
implied understanding. Occasion, they
say, may arise which will induce them
to debate some paragr aphs longer than
they now anticipate.

sThe Street Dogs of Constantinople"
is the title of an article in st, Nicholas
by Oswald Garrison Willard Mr. Viii
lard says:
The instinct which enables these poor
tramps to tell time is the most astonish-
ing thing about these dogs Imean their
being on hand day after day at regular
hours when the scraps are thrown out
and their never being much too early or
too late. The superintendent of one Of
the great railway lines ending in Con-
stantinople told me the most remark
able case of this have yet heard The
Oriental express, the famous train from
Paris to Constantinople, arrives, 1t
seems, three times week at a certain
hour in the afternoon. When the train
comes in, there are always many dogs
ready to receive it Before the passen-
gers have had time TO get out the dogs
jump into the carriages and search ey-
erywhere under the seats and in the
corners for the scraps of luncheon left
by the passengers, and when they have
found all the pieces they go away. The
remarkable thing is that they never
come at any time except when the ORR
entail express is due, that they never
make a mistake in the day and always
remember that between Friday and Mon
day there are two days and not one.
They pay no attention to local trains
because little or no food is left in them,
owing to the short rides the passengers
fake Eac4ly This same knowledge Of
the time table and OF the difference be-
tween local and long distance trains has
been noticed at the station Of the Asiat-

THE FUNCTION OF ETHER.

without Is There Would BE No Light,
Radiant Heat or Magnetism.
Whatever difficulties we may have
in forming a consistent idea of the con-
stitution of the ether. there can be no
doubt that the interplanetary and inter
stellar spaces are not empty, but are oc-
cupied by Il material substance or body
which is certainly the largest and prob
ably the most uniform body of which
we have any knowledge "
Such was the verdict pronounced
some 20 years ago by James Clerk
Maxwell, one Of the very greatest of
nineteenth century physicists, regard
ing the existence of an all pervading
plenum in the universe in which every
particle Of tangible matter is immersed.
And this verdict may be said to express
the attitude of the entire philosophical
world Of our day. Without exception
the authoritative physicists of our time
accept this plenum as verify and rea-
son about it with something of the same
confidence they manifest in speaking of
ponderable" matter or of energy 1t is
true there are those among them who
are disposed to deny that this all per
vading plenum merits the name Of mat
ter, but that it is something, and a
vastly important something at that, all
are agreed Without it, they allege, we
should know nothing Of light, of radiant
heat, of electricity or magnetism. With
out it there would probably be no such
thing as gravitation--nay, they even
hint that without this strange some
thing, ether there would be no such
thing as matter in the universe If these
contentious of the modern physicist are
justified, then this intangible ether is
incomparably the most important as
well as the largest and most uniform
substance or body" in the universe. It's
discovery may well be looked upon as
the most important feat of our century

His head and body were a mass
of sores, and his nose was swollen to
several times its natural size; to add to
his misery he had catarrh, which made
him almost deaf, and his eyesight also
became affected. No treatment was
spared that we thought would relieve
him, but he grew worse until his condi-
ton was indeed pitiable. A dozen blood
remedies were given him by the whole
sale, but they did not the slightest good.
/ had almost despaired of his ever being
cured, when by the advice of friend we
gave him S.S.S. (Swift's Speci6c), and
at first the Inflammation seemed to in
crease, but as this is the way the remedy
gets rid Of the poison, by forcing it out
of the system, we were encouraged and
continued the medicine. A decided i'm
provement was the result, and after he
had taken dozen bottles, no one who
knew of his former dreadful condition
would have recognized him. All the
sores on his body have healed, his skin
is perfectly clear and smooth, and he
has been restored to perfect health"
