AT the opening of the session of the
| House TODAY. the Speaker recognized
Boutellt. chairman of the naval commit
tee, to cali up the bin for the relief of the
victims and survivors of the Maine dis
aster. The bill provided for the payment
to the legal heirs of those who lost their
lives a sum equal to u months sea pay

to the survivors of the value of personal
effects lost. not to exceed in amount IL
sum equal to II months sea pay. The
continuance of allotmcnts to the families
of the deceased for three months was
also provided for.
The consideration of the bill required
unanimous consent. Loud said the bill
was important. There was Il general law
which covered such cases and IA special
act should receive deliberate considcra-
ron.
Boutcllc said that the passage of the bill
was demanded by public sentiment all
over the country. He said there was a
pressing necessity for the relief of the
sufferers of this terrible disaster Benefit
performances were being held and sub
$criptions We're being raised all over the
country for the relief of the widows and
orphans of the victims.
Loud objected. THAT is the gentle
man : privilege, under the rules" said
Eoutellc. II object TO the latter remark
Sald Loud, and ask that it be stricken
from the record.
1T WAS finally arranged by unanimous
consent that the bill should be considered
as soon as the post office appropriation
bill was out of the way.
Danforth, chairman of the committee
ON immigration. called attention to the
fact that he had given notice some time
az" that he would today call up the i'm
migration bill He asked what the par
liamehtary status of the bill was and
the Speaker Informed him that it was on
the Speakers table and could not be
called up at any time when a privileged
matter was before the House.

HORSES DROWN IN A STORM.

Pitiful Fate of Four Animals Attached
to an manageable Life Boat.
During the terrible storm of March
q and around England a vessel sig
nailed for assistance near the Girdler
light, Margate, and an attempt was
thereupon made to launch the lifeboat
Culver, belonging to the National Life
boat institution. AS the trolley was
being turned round, however, in the
surf to allow the Culver to glide off,
one wheel came in contact with rock
and could not be moved, neither could
the boat be launched. Eventually a
rope was made fast to the Culver and
she was hauled off and made fast to
the jetty, but not until she had been
seriously damaged by being hustled
against the stone pier. Gallant efforts
were made to save the horses attached
to the trolley, but, owing to the heavy
sea, the drivers were only able to I'M
fasten the shaft-animals. Just then a
tremendous sea struck the horses, car
rying them against the pier, where
they were repeatedly dashed. Three of
the animals were drowned, and the
fourth, with the dead horses attached
to it, by the harness. struggled for two
hours, but no assistance could be rem
dered and it too persisted. The sea
flowed over the parade, bringing large
balks of timber from the jetty and slip
way into the middle of the road.

So ~
Take the Horns in Time.


Hornless cattle are the desideratum
IN most localities. There may be pos
sible exceptions in localities where the
animals actually need their horns to
protect their young and themselves
against wolves and like animals, but
happily many Of our states are now free
from pests Of that character. The horn
IS relic Of ages when the COW did not
nave man for a protector. Man has no
use for it. Every few weeks we hear
horrible story of some person being
gored to death. What farmer has not
seen even mild-tempered COWS attack
other cows furiously with their horns,
sometimes inflicting damage that is not
easily reme6ied? The horn is a use
less and a dangerous weapon for her
masters to leave In possession OF the
COW. Most Of our farmers realize this,
but consider it too much trouble for
them to have their cattle dehorned. In
some cases there is a sentiment about
1ndicting pain on the animals. though
1t Is probable that the pain Of dehorn-
Ing Is not greater than the pain to the
human being in having tooth drawn.
However this may be. we need only
horns and the pain to the animals OF
dehorning. Caustic potash, If applied
at the proper time, does the work to
perfection with little or no pain. The
little knob of horn starts at first from
sem1-soft material which may be
called the matrix, or mother of the
take the horns in time to avoid both the
horn. Apply potash to this and it be-
comes impotent. The process is ar
rested forever and the calf grows up
hornless. Such animals are easier han
died, and even If they attack one. can
do Infinitely less damage than can ami
mails on which the horns have been left
to grow. Take the horns in time and
save trouble.
The New Hampshire experiment sta
ton gives the following method of ap-
plying the potash: "The hair should be
cut away from the young horn as thor
ougAly as possible so that the potash
may come in intimate contact with the
parts to be treated. The oily secretion
should be removed from the parts to be
touched with the potash, by wiping
carefully with rag or sponge mois-
tened with soap suds, or water contain
Ing little ammonia. Parts not to be-
touched should not be moistened. The
stick of potash is rolled up in piece
OF paper SO as to leave one end exposed.
The exposed end is dipped in water to
moisten it and then rubbed on the but
ton or embryo horn until the skin be-
gins to start, care being taken that the
whole of the button and the border or
matrix is included in the treatment. In
young calves few days old surface
half an inch or little more in dame
ter will cover these parts. Caustic pot
ash, or caustic soda, which answers as
well, can be obtained at almost any
drug store. When not in use it should
be kept in closely-stoppered vial, one
with rubber stopper preferred, or it
will liquefy. After the calf is two OF
three days old the sooner the potash H.
applied the better.

Small Hoy with Eggs to Sell Takes Ad-
vantage of Ignorance.
From the Kennebec (Me.) Journal:
A 12-year-old boy in a Kennebec
town recently took a mean advantage
of a man who did not read the pa
pers. Going into store with bas-
ket of eggs for sale, he inquired the
price and was told they were 16 cents
a dozen. Leaving his eggs, he pro-
ceeded to another store, whose propri-
etor evidently had not heard of the re-
duction in price, and he told the boy
eggs were 20 cents a dozen. The boy
promptly proceeded to the first-named
store, took the eggs he had brought
and invested 16 cents in another dozen
and sold the lot to the second store at
20 cents.
