its own speciality in dress, its favorite col

showing an amazing activity these
days in about everything except the
matter of the treaty of peace with
Spain. on Saturday the Nicaragua
canal bin was passed so suddenly and
so easily as to catch mapping Vest OF

the upper branch Of Congress always
has time TO exercise the utmost cour-
tesy toward the minutest OF its in
dividual members. So when Vest came
in and mourned because he had missed
the chance to register his vote against
the bill, at the same time limiting that
the measure was passed without a
quorum. the Senate promptly recon-
sidered its action, took yea and nay

botanist got down on his knees To drink

some Zapotcca Indians who had seen the
botanist in former days studying the flow
