WASHINGTON LETETR.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT,

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, DEC, 18TH 1899.
The first and shortest step of the FL
nancial Legislative programme, mapped
out for Congress, was completed today
when the House passed the Republican
Caucus Financial bill. The bill will
now 90 to the Senate, where it is likely
to remain for many weeks, and where
the discussion will be much longer than
it was in the House. 1t is understood
that the Senate Finance Committee in
tends to pigeon.hole the House bill and
report its own bill as a substitute. If
Catoctin clarion., 1899-12-21

the Senate endorses that and passes its
bill, that will 60 to the House, which
will refuse to accept it as substitute.
Then the Two bills will go to a confer
ence committee, and the final result
will probably be bill that will be a
compromise between the two.
Some men profit by the experience Of
others, but Representative Sulzer, of
New York, is evidently not one of them.

Weeping at the Theater.

the tears filing my eyes just because

what my mood however, the thing

theater is any emotional display on
the part of her who is with me. | can
attend the weepiest kind of play un-
moved with my sister, for she starts in
away ahead of time, making me feel
more like laughing than crying. and
then when the true lachrymose Oppor

This is the only way by which | may
make myself immune from weeping at
theaters upon all occasions. '-Phila-

An Income from Roses.

In no country in the universe has
the rose been brought so nearly 10 per-
lection as in China. Extremely mag
niflcent are the rose gardens Of the
emperor, and the revenue yearly OBJ
tanned from the sale of oil Of roses and
rose water forms a very large addition
TO the imperial Golfers.
Only members of the imperial fami-
ly, nobility, military dignitaries, and
a few other notabilities are allowed
to have altar of roses in their dwell
ings, and very severe punishments are
meted out to ordinary citizens in
whose possession even one drop Of the
precious essence is found.
Originally only two kinds of roses
were known in the Flowery Land-the
white and the red moss roses-and the
smaller they were the more highly
were they valued. The leaves are
greatly priced as amulets.

GLOVE NJ AKING.
Changes That Have Taken Place il
Methods.

The glove industry, which was first
settled in Gloversville. y. Y. in 1909,
now represents an investment of no
less than $15.000O00 Rough mittens
made from the deerskins received from
the traders in exchange for tin were
the first product of the settlement and
the first load of gloves that went to
Boston was forwarded in 1925. In the
early days of the industry giovemaking
was followed exclusively by women,
but il now engages the services of
large number of men. The old style
was for the glover to lay his pattern
on the leather and then, after mark
ing the outline with a leadpencil, to
cut it cut With his shears The glove
was sewed by hand, and when seams
had been pounded il went through
the process of pressing. This was done
by placing il between two boards. on
which the glovemaker sat while max
ing another pair. The modern method
of manufacturing the glove is 70 cut

gussets are sewn on beth sides. After

ornamental embroidery is then stitched
on the back. the buttons or fasteners

CHOOSING A SERVANT.
Prof. Lombroso's System Might Be Used
with Good Results.

1t is doubtful if any two housewives
absolutely agree as TO the rules that
govern them in choosing a servant.
says the New York Times Generally
speaking, the only points judged are
the outward appearance and ability
to fill the varied requirements of do
nestle call Personal characteristics
are usually left to fate. Fate never
works slowly where a servant is con-
cerned. Her disposition reveals itself
on the day of her arrival. Measures
should be taken accordingly. The trou-
BILE is that they are not. Hence the
cry of the housewife who has had
cantankerous maid of all work for
three years and has never had the
courage to discharge her. The walls or
the intelligence offices cannot speak,
else we might know the character OF
seemingly momentouS interrogauons.
We might actually learn that the pros
pective domestic is actually questioned
as to her disposition and other mental
paradoxes. AS it is, however, one is
bound TO believe that no such inquiries
are made, or, if made, no judicious and
discriminating judgment is evolved IN
weighing answers.
Now, all this bother above empha-
sized might easily be avoided if house
wifes would only call the tenets or
Professor Lombroso to their rescue.
Having received satisfactory answers
as to ability, ETC., and being pleased
with the dress and general manners or
the candidate. let the housewife eX-
anime the head before her-of course,
in a way that can give no possible OIL
tense. a way which may be determined
by circumstances. If the head extends
we'll back behind the ear, the mistress
may be sure that the domestic region"
is we'll developed. 1t must be noted,
too, whether the bump of firmness'
rises above that Of self-esteem. OF
course, the head that would be admir-
able to have on cook would never do
| for a lady's waiting maid. Also would
this system of selection be Of use to
| servants, for it would enable them 10
rectify mistakes IN their own choice
of employment. And the Italian sclen-
fist could at last boast that he was OF
actual benefit TO mankind.
