70 WASHINGTON, Jan. l9.-The immi-

Monday, will be pushed in the house

ing, while the senate bill, as 1t finally
passed that body, limited the test to
reading alone.

confirmatory Of the unofficial dispatches

Attempt to Attach a Resolu-

Point Made by House Lead
ers That the Move Was

WARRINGTON, Jan. l9.-Cuba had .
bearing in the house during the day
aud for time it looked o if parlia'
ementary precedents would be set aside
and the senate resolution recognizing
the insurgents as belligerents would be
attached as rider to the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill. Mr..
De Almond. Missouri Democrat. pre-
cipitated the issue by Offering the reso.
luton as All amendment, but a point OF
order against it was sustained. Mr.. De
Almond appealed. He urged the Re-
publicans who had professed
Friendship for the Struggling Cubans
to override the decision of the chair as
the only chance Of securing action on
the proposition. Mr.. Bailey, the leader
of the minority, and other Democrats
Joined in the appeal. The excitement
became intense, but the appeals of Mr..
Dingley, the floor leader Of the major
ity, as we'll as other Republican leaders
to their associates not to join IN the
programme succeeded. Mr.. Colson
(Rep, Ky.) warned his side that unless
he was soon given an opportunity to
vote his sentiments on the Cuban ques-
ton he would
Co. Oper rate in Any Revolutionary Method
to secure action. The Republican tao.
tics kept to the front the point that the
minority were seeking to override the
rules of the house, and they got every
Republican vote, sustaining the chair
by vote of l52 to ia. One Democrat,
Mr.. Fleming Of Georgia, voted with
them on the ground that he could not
violate his oath by voting against up
holding the rules. During the debate
Mr.. Bailey challenged Mr.. Hit to give
the house any assurance that an oppor.
tunity would be offered to vote on the
resolution passed by the senate at the
last session, but he received no reply.

BUILT BY THE WINDS.
Hollands Vigorous Battle Against the
Advancing sea,

hoiiunus vigorous bHUt Against 'He
Advancing sea.
Approaching the fact that the high
chalk cliffs of England are no protec-
ton against the sea, the Dutch engi-
neers did not attempt to place an arti-
fetal vertical wall against the waves
and the storm tides, but coaxed the
sea to deposit it's sands on the shore
and so build it up, rather than throw
them inland and then, hungry for
more, eat into the shore. They be-
lievod 1t best to satisfy its appetite,
but induced 1t to toy with the sands,
which its own flood currents and waves
bring from other shores, and from the
othng depths. The sand thus depos.
itcd blows, in the gales, over the in
land country. The engineers induced
it to stop and build a barrier for them
against the sea. One of the heaviest
bikes along the coast was bnilt by the
winds themselves.
The sand formed between the Jet
ties becomes dry in sunny weather,
and the surface is blown ashore when
the wind is i'll that direction. Ii was
desired to build IA strong dixie to con-
meet with the sand dunes This was
accomplished by setting in tho sand,
in rows about foot apart, tufts of the
dune sea grass near by. The tufts
were placed about foot apart-sim-
ply little handfuls of grass; the place
for each tuft was dug out with the
hands, the tuft set into it, and the
sand pressed around it. The whole
surface of the dry, sandy beach above
high tide was covered with this plan.
tation, aud, just back of it, Mt the
highest point of the existing sandy
area, one or two rows Of reeds were
set into the sand, their tops cut off,
and the stalks left standing about four
feet above the sand. The sand, drift
along over the surface. catches and in
one windy day will almost bury the
tufts of grass and stand up foot
along the rows of reeds. Then another
plantation was made, and another, un-
til massive dixie was built up to the
height of the adjoining dixie. In high
storm tides the waves will eat into the
toe of the slope and pull down the
sand, but, by the same process Of
building, the dixie is again restored to
its former size. --Engineering Maya

passed youth is the tendency to wear
u larger pair Of shoes--and this is
necessary. The feet spread and really
grow. To remedy this wear shoes as
long ms can be managed, but not ~
wide ~ seem necessary. Never wear
old slippers around the house, unless
they are snug in the width, and be
careful of corns. These are never
necessary while the chiropodist exists.
To Have Fine Color Wash the
face with the juice of preserved straw
berries in the winter, aud in summer
rub ripe berry on the face.
For u smooth, White Skin, With.
out Dieting-Bathe the face daily with
buttermilk. A preparation of tincture
of benzoin and rose water is excellent
for whitening purposes. There are
very good prepared creams, but these
are never cheap. Do not go under n
dollar for them il you want them COM
pounded of fine and pure materials.
To Have Ones Garments Sweet
Scented-Make sachet bags and slip
them in the Innings of dresses. They
will, il good Mt first, keep their scent
for year or more. Fold the bodices
of the scented gowns and lay them
away in air-tight boxes. This fills
them with scent. Philadelphia Times.

SOME BEAUTY RULES.
Modern Recipes for Attaining Cool Looks
OF Various Kinds.

To Get Thin-Eat great deal Of
chopped meat without any potatoin it.
Drink little fluid of any kind except
strong tea. Exercise a great deal with
out drinking and do not eat bread, but
ter, or candy. Lemonade, acid drinks
of all kinds, and saline mineral waters
are excellent. Drink glass of cool
water before breakfast.
To Get Fat--Eat vegetableo and
sleep after each meal. Go to bed at
8 o'clock and lie in bed half an hour
after you wake up. Laugh a great
deal Drink water by the pint or
the quart if you can. Drink weak and
sweet tea with plenty of milk in it.
Take cod liver oil and sweet oils az
much IA you can. Eat until you feel
as if You would burst at the table.
Put plenty of butter on your bread.
This will guarantee gain of five
pounds n month, and, ifyou can sleep
a great deal, of double that amount.
To Have White Skin-Eat no meat
at all. Become vegetarian; they al
ways have beautiful skin. Once in
six weeks or so eat meal of fresh
meat This does away with .he
tendency to scurvy- that curse Of the
vegetarian. Drink as much water as
You can, eat little grease, and touch
no tea or coffee, Your breakfast may
be oatmeal and oranges; your dinner
fruit, nuts, fruit tea - preferably
ounce tea-graham mullins, cauli-
flower croquettes, marmalade, and
dishes Of stewed vegetables. The diet
is not so bad when you get used TO it.
In large towns you will find one or
two restaurants catering to such az
you.
To Become Very Muscular-.walk a
great deal, carrying so -hething always
in the hands. This develops the
arms. To roll hoop might be good
if one were brave enough to do 30 i'll

bending backward, forward, and side
ways every day. At night rub about
