had hoped ia avoid.
Three votes which otherwise would
have been against the ratification Of the
peace treaty were cast In its favor be-
cause Of the action Of the FiIipinos. and
discussion is already active upon a res
oIution declaring the future policy of
the United States toward the islands.
The resolution. which was introduced
by Mo emery. with the implication that
the administration had promised 10 sup

the peace treaty. pronounces against
annexation and pledges the United
states to aid the inhabitants Of the
Philippines to establish an independent

Comb, in Cold weather.

Every winter damages the birds more
or less by injuring the combs. When
comb is frosted it turns black and often
the points decay and fall off. 1t is very
painful, and results in loss of eggs, as
the birds will not lay until the comb is
thoroughly healed. The wattles also
freeze, especially when wet, as is the
case with birds that drink from an open
vessel. The best remedy for frosted
combs is to keep the birds free from
draugnts and anoint the combs with
few drops of glycerin and crude petro-
leum mixed. To prevent the difficulty,
Il necessary, cut off the combs and wat
ties with sharp knife or shears. dip
the head in alum water and put the
birds in dry. warm place. Should the
weather be warm rub the cut surface
with crude petroleum az protection
against fies.-American Gardening.

Each Rreed Ha. Advantages.

1t is doubtful if anyone can correctly
select the best breeds" of fowls with
out having the same claim made just as
earnestly for a dozen other breeds.
Some breeds may have certain advan-
tages, but it will also have its disadvan-
tages. Each breed may be said to have
only one dominant talent. What it
gains in one direction it may lose in an
other. After all, there would not be ten
eggs different in year between the best
and the most inferior (if they could be
discovered), with all conditions alike.
The man who will claim any one breed
as the best issues a direct challenge to
all other breeders.-American Garden

KIMONOS EVERY WHERE.
Almost Every American Woman Now
Has One of the Dainty
Garments.

The kimono, which made its bow but
a short time ago, has evidently come to
stay. 1t is pattern from which snowy
gowns and matinees can be made for a
little money. The tucked and insertion
yokes, outlined with a ruffle, are the
most favored, but the plain kimonos,
trimmed with straight bands of lawn
as the oriental woman wears it, is the
desirable pattern.
Kimonos of silk, nuns yelling, CASH
mere and the cheaper woolens and cot
ton materials are numerous in design.
The shape is universal, regardless of
the applied ornamentation to partially
conceal the model.
To be truly Japanese, however, you
should wear not one, but at least three
kimonos! The inner are made of thin
silk or fine linen, and the outer of heavier
silk, satin or crepe, richly embroidered
or woven in colors. The higher the rank
of the japanese woman, the more kim
onos she wears, when in full dress. The
outer one is always long enough to lie
on the ground at least two inches, all
around, and its lower edge is wadded to
thickness of several inches.
The kimono illustrated is of silk
crepe. The ground color is a 'burnt
orange" shade, thickly covered with
flowers of every possible hue and in
tense brilliancy, but so exquisite is the
japanese feeling for color harmony
that the brilliant tints are toned down
to wonderfully soft ensemble. The
garment is lined with pale blue silk.
The sleeves, it may be noted here, are
not so superfuously ample as they may
seem, for their pouchlike lower Sec
tions are the japanese woman's pock-
ets,-N. Y. Tribune.

Where a Good Pistol Is Admired.

Hon. William Workman, long state treas
urer of Texas, was in New York jewelry
store one day when he noticed a showcase
filled with splendid jeweled revolvers, with
silver and gold grips and chased barrels, hav.
ing precious stones set into the butts.
"Lemme see one of those guns" he said
to the clerk.
(Which one, sir?"
The gold one with the big ruby in the
handle"
The clerk took it from the case. 1t was
marked $500, and it looked even worth
more. The Texan took it tenderly in both
hands and held it admiringly up to the
light. Then drawing himself up to his full
height, which was six feet and half, he
rested the revolver upon his left elbow,
crooked for the purpose, and looked over
the sights down the long store. Those per-
sons who saw involuntarily lodged.
Say" said Mr.. Workman, with quiet but
intense enthusiasm, as he returned the
weapon, If was to wear that gun down in
my state, the people would be falling down
on their knees begging to be killed with it!''
