Washington, Feb. %. - After a con-
test that will be memorable In the

ermy reorganization bill was passed
last evening at ITO by a vote Of IS to
t3. When the senate convened at IL
o'clock 1t seemed more than likely that
the bill might not be passed during the
day. Mr.. German Of Maryland insisted
that his amendment providing that
the army should not be increased per-
manently or beyond July 1. 1901, be
incorporated In the measure. For sew
eral hours 1t appeared probable that
this tnsistence at least would throw
the bill over until to-day. and, perhaps,
defeat ii. An agreement was reached
finally, however, and Mr.. Germans
amendment, In slightly modified
form, was accepted. The notable
speech OF the day against the measure
was delivered by Mr.. Vest OF Missouri

journalism by Weight.

There are more funny things going
on in this big world than ever its
people dreamed of. But somehow
they never get into books. Now, for
instance, in Australia, a country that
follows American customs very close
ly, the people have great desire for
American newspapers. Every steamer
that arrives from this country brings
it's full quota of American journals,
which are Immediately put on sale.
One day l was in Adelaide, South
Australia. and went into store to
buy the Sunday edition of a New York
paper The dealer took one, placed it
on the scales, which he scanned very
carefully and then said Is pence (36
cents.
THAT costs about one-eighth as much
in New York." | said.
"Cawn't 'elp that" answered the
dealer. 'These ere papers is mas
sive. They contain lots of good paper,
and we got to sell 'em by weight"
Have you any cheap"r!' | asked.
YES" he said again, give got some
cheaper; this one is only 10d: it weighs
much less: it has no pictures, you see,"
and he picked up a Chicago journal of
a mid week date.
"But | want a New York Sunday
newspaper" l persisted.
"Well. those will cost you from 1Sd
to 2Od (36 to 40 cents each, according
to weight. but l can sell you a Kansas
City Sunday paper for I'd 10 cents
if you must have cheap Sunday
edition."
Then | found that the dealer would
sell separate sections of a Sunday
edition if the customer didn't want
the whole. and while l was in the store
three men came in and bought differ
ent parts of a journal. paying as much
as four cents a section. OF course.
when the want ad.' part was put on
the scales and sold to the fourth Gus
toner he didn't know how interesting
New York news was until he got home.

ODDITIES OF POISONING
Some People May Safely Eat Certain Food
Which Would BE Poison tn Otb.r.

The constitutional differences and
peculiarities which exist among indi-
viduals should always be carefully
watched and considered One person

while another is poisoned if only in
the vicinity of the vine and without
contact Some members of q family

while other members will not be at
all affected.
some persons, will not so act on 9th
ers. One person may eat all kinds
of green fruit and vegetables with i'm
punity, while another person could
do so only at the risk of life. Ger
tain kinds of fish are actually pois-
~onous to some people and perfectly
wholesome to others.
1t is this peculiar condition of the
system which constitutes the danger
point in the individual case and
should be prudently observed by each
one for himself Intestinal derange-
mentS frequently arise from and are
aggravated by certain kinds of food.
Thus a person affected with kidney
or liver trouble should not eat very
white bread since the extreme white
ness is often produced by the use of
alum with an inferior article of flour,
and as alum is known to be pOis-
OnouS in its effects on sound con-
stitution, this is why alum baking
powder is never used by people of
judgment and discretion.
More of earthly happiness depends
upon what we eat than many people
realize and it is for this reason that
the different states are one by one
