President Noyes then called on members
of the Senate and House for brief speeches.
prefacing this part of the program with
the statement that IL he could make sue-
gestions of topics which might be discuss
ed he would include in the list the compile
ton of the system OF sewage disposal, the
abatement of the James Creek canal null
sance, the reclamation of the Anacostia
flats, the increase and publication of the
water supply, the extension of the plan of
city streets over the entire District and
the appropriation for free public library
and larger attendance Of the House mem
bers on District days.
In the absence of Speaker Reed, he said
he would call on the Nestor of the House
Representative Payne of New York, who
made very entertaining speech. Mr.
Payne said he didn't understand why the
members OF the board of trade wanted to
hear members of Congress on such occa-
sions. They wouldn't, he was sure IL they
care to hear any member Of the co-orii-
nate branch, meaning the Senate as he
said they cannot confine themselves to i've
minute speeches. He spoke of what Presi-
dent Moves had said In regard to the pay
ment OF internal revenue taxes by citi-
zens of Washington, and added, In a jocu-
lar way, that he would Introduce a bill to
enforce the Maine law In this city. He said,
however. If the city were deprived of its
present beverage 1t would be necessary to
furnish larger supply of pure water
In a more serious vein he spoke Of the
progress which is being made in acouaint-
ing members Of Congress with the true re-
lations of the people Of the District to the
general government, and In confirmation of
this he said that for the first time In a
number OF years this year the usual amend
ment offered in tho House to the District
appropriation bill, providing that the total
expenses Of the District government be
levied on the taxable Inhabitants of the
District. somehow slipped the trolley and
the bill got through the House without
such AN amendment being offered. He
hoped that 1t would never be heard of
again.
He added that for the past three or four
years Congress had been troubled to get
sufficient money. and as economy begins at
home. and as the District is the home of
the Congress, the District appropriations
naturally felt the influence Of this policy.
He said there was going to be more money
In a year or two. and he hoped to Hive long
enough to see some OF the great public i'm
provements made In Washington which
would help this city to become the finest In
the world.

Probably the easist habit to acquire
and one of the hardest to get rid of
is the habit of croaking. It is also
one of the most disagreeable as vel!
as unplesant ones and the person WHO
is addicted to this habit has our
deepest commiseration and profound
est sympathy. To the croaker the
refulgent rays Of the glorious sun
gives warmth, vitality and life to
the world and the rain drops which
fall in showers from the clouds above
to revive, refresh and distribute the
life sustaining element to thirsty ma
ture are alike to him. He can see
nothing good in the bestowal OF
these gifts by a thoughtful creator
for the health, happiness and enjoy
ment of mankind. They are only
harbingers of direful evil. If the
sun shines too hotly the crops will
surely burn up and ruin haunts his
waking thoughts and midnight
dreams. If from his gloomy fore
bodings there is too much rain every
thing will be drowned out and the shs-
dowy outlines cf the poor house rises
before his vision to make him more
miserable and to ada more dresriness
and darkness to his life's pathway.
For him life is made up of q sue
cession of thorns and thistles and
loneliness and disappointments, like
dead men's bones, to serve as mile
stones in the journey Of life. To
him comes no genial warmth and
brightness which flows from the
fountains Of peace, happiness and
contentment, cheering those around
him with that cheerfulness which
makes life worth living and turns
the wildness and desolation of this
world into the beautiful garden Of
happiness filed with may bright
hued flowers 10 dispense the fragrace
of their richness and make it a fit
dwelling place for man.

The operatives, who are cut on a
strike, have issued strong appeal to
the textile workers of the country
for financial assistance in prolonging
the righteous fight against the un-
just encroachment of capital upon
their rights Of labor. These strikers,
who are skilled, industrious and hon
est laborers have pitched their con
tentions on the high grounds Of
justice and right and clsim that their
wages have been reduced to such
figures that it is impossible to sup
port themselves with any degree of
respectability and that to continue
work at the wages offered "meaps
simply poor food, ragged clothes,
sickness and all the other evils which
poverty brings The appeal states
the present. situation concisely and
elcquently and it will doubtless
strike a responsive chord inthe heart
of all who believe that labor should
be elevated rather than degraded and
that the laborer is worthy of his hire

quently reliable. One sentence in
particular is very pathetically, as swell!
as truthfully put, which is as follows:
Brother laborers, We appeal to you
in our distress. Oar cry is the cry
of the distressed. We come to You
as brothers. You know our condi
ton. Can you turn US away in ou,

that no other business except that in

E:::w 70 Cure Meat.

Al Exchange.
Ssltneter is used in meat curing
because it has antiseptic properties
and gives bright red color to the
meat. Il does not appear to be
harmful to Consumers in the quantl-
ties which are used for this purpose.
Common salt preserves meat by
withdrawing water from its fibres,
and by reason Of its antiseptic prop
critics. Sugar also helps to displace
water, and its taste often adds to the
agreeable favor of the meat.
The disadvantage of using salt is
that it withdraws from the meat
some of the best and most essential
portions of the juices.
Various suggestions have been
made to overcome this, in a measure.
The one made By Leibig was that
dry rubbing with salt should be dis
continued that the fresh meat should,
instead, be placed in strong brine
made up of common salt, Chili-salt-
peter, potassium chloride, and meat
extract. The salt used should be
previously purified by application OF
sodieum phosphate whereby the
calcium ard magnesium possibly pre-
sent as impurities will be thrown
down as precipitiate; when these
settled to the bottom, the clear LIQUOR
may be drawn off and the other in
gradients added.
