WILL REFUSE PENSIONS.
More Former Confederates Object 10
the nutIer Amendment.

Protests are still coming to the Senate
from organizations of Confederate soldiers
against the amendment offered by Senator
Butler to the pension appropriation bill
providing that they should be entitled TO
receive pensions, and TO all rights and priv
ileges now accorded 10 Federal soldiers un-
der existing pension laws.
Senator Pasco OF Florida filed protest
against this amendment yesterday at the
opening of the Senate from Confederate
veterans at Oscala, Fla, in which they
stated that while they appreciated the re-
cent speech OF the President, and the in
tcntion of the amendment, they did not
wish it to become a law.
Senator Allen made few remarks on
the subject, saying he thought the amend
ment was being taken too seriously; that
he had no doubt its author had no serious
intention of its becoming a law. The
President, as well as the senator who in
troduced the amendment, were carried
away by their feelings. he thought, and the
incident might be closed by the happy
thought that the late Spanish war had
wiped out all sectional feeling.

The House Committee on Judiciary will
make a report in favor of declaring the
seats of Gen. Joseph Wheeler of Alabama
and Colonels Campbell OF Illinois and Col
son OF Kentucky vacant. These officers
still hold commissions in The army.
The committee, with The exception OF
two members, expresses the opinion that
the acceptance Of a military commission
vaeates the seats in Congress. and that
having held commissions during the ses-
sion their designations from the army
would not entitle them TO re-enter Con-
gress The two members who differ from
this view hold that member with a COM

ciary Committee has not taken formal ac-
tion. but this will be done soon and Mr.
Bailey will be upheld in his contention that
General Wheeler has no right to his seat

letter from the Secretary of State. The
letter of the Secretary states that the bu-
reau has entered upon course of develop
ment which promises fruition of the in
tent of the PanAmerican conference of

the report of the director that five of the

Among these is the Argentine Republic
which has just given official notice of its

STORIES FOR CHILDREN.
There Should BE Variety, But the Old
FavOrites Bear Frequent
Repetition.

When one speaks of telling stories to
the little people, prose narratives seem
to be commonly understood, and as
commonly used, but there is no mistake
greater than to suppose that children
are not susceptible to the charms of
poetry.
They care more for poetry, on the
contrary, than the majority of grown
people, whether for the melody, the
rhythm, the rhymes, the short lines,
the simplicity and picturesqueness of
expression, or for all these reasons to-
gether, which makes it thing pleas
antly different from common speech.
Goethe advised that every child should
see pretty picture and hear beauti-
full poem every day, and if we would
not Danish the charm of poetry from
mature life it behooves us to follow his
advice and subject the child to its in
fluence at the time of greatest suscepti-
bility.
We must beware, however, of giving
a one-sided development by combining
ourselves too much to one branch of
literature; we must include in our
repertory some well-selected myths,
fairy stories which are pure and spirit
nal in tone, and fable now and then.
Nature stories, hero tales, animal anec-
dotes, occasional narratives about
good, wholesome children, neither
prigs nor infant villains. plenty of fine
poetry, as has been said, and, for the
older ones of the family, legends, ale
gories and historic happenings. A
large stock of stories is not essential
for little children. They feel, as Bull
wer said, the beauty and the holiness
that dwell in the customary and the
old; and they are well pleased--and it
is best that it should be so-with bear
ing the same old favorites repeated
again and again. in song or in story,
from their mothers lips.-Nora Archi-
bald Smith, in Ladies' Home Journal.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Sussia's export of eggs exceeds 1,50o.-
100000 year.
Frost has variety of effects upon
different products. Under the same in
fiuence eggs will burst, apples contract
and potatoes turn black.
The utilization of grain elevator
waste for sheep and cattle food has
given rise to new industry in the
northwest. The waste brings seven dol
lars a ton.
The whirling winds of Arabia some
times excavate sand pits to the depth of
1900 feet, the rim usually being three
times that depth in diameter. A sand
pit thus made may be entirely obliter-
ated in few hours, and another exca-
walton within a short distance of it.
The Lick observatory has done won
ders in photographing nebulae, the sun
and its corona. The party from this
observatory was most successful in its
observation of the suns eclipse in India
last January. 1t was ascertained clear
ly that the sun spots are due to solar
activity, and that the earth only inter-
cepts one-half millionth part of the
heat radiated by the sun.
Steel rails now figure as the cheapest
finished product in wrought iron or
steel. A good lesson in the finances of
modern industry is also afforded by
them. To establish a steel rail works,
an expenditure of So, 600, 900 is required
before single rail can be turned out.
The steel is made to conform to an accu-
rate chemical composition-the most
accurate in the ordinary range of tech
nical operations.
