PACIFIC CABLE BILL
Is NEARLY READY.
House Committee Have Decided to
Report Formally on the Route
Via san Francisco.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.--The Pacific
cable bill was considered by the house
committee on commerce today, and so
much progress was made that was
hoped the final form OF the measure
would be secured during the day.
The bill considered was that presented
by Sherman Of New York. 1t was de-
cided that the cable shah be laid from
a point at or near San Francisco. An
other change fixed the time OF complet-
ing the line 20 Honolulu at January l.
1902. and TO Manila and Japan by July /,
1902. instead OF year later.
Owing to the Interest in the debate on
the floor OF the house, the further CON

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-The general
debate on the Puerto Rico tariff bill
closed today In blaze of glory. The gal
leries were banked to the doors and every
seat on the floor was occupied when the
rival champions of the respective sides,
Mr.. Dolliver, of Iowa, and Mr. Bailey. OF
Texas made the closing arguments. Each
spoke for an hour and half. The speech
of Mr.. Bailey, devoted as II was almost
exclusively to the legal phases of the
controversy. while II was profound and
impressive. did not arouse the unbounded
enthusiasm which swept galleries and
floors while Mr.. Dollver was speaking.
The Iowan was at his -pest-and his wit,
eloduence and sarcasm In turn drew ap-
plause from his Republican associates.
Before the closing speeches were made.
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois. chairman OF the
appropriations committee. one of the vet
Grams on the Republican side made an
exceptionally effective speech in support
of the bill.
Messrs. Carmack, OF Tennessee; Clay
ton. of Alabama. Kleberg, of Texas;
Pearce and De Almond. OF Missouri had
also made speeches In opposition to the
bill The Republican managers are now
confident that with the modification
agreed upon at the conference last night
the bin will command a narrow major
ity In the final vote tomorrow
The debate opened with a twenty min
ute speech by Carmack in opposition to
the bill. The alternative presented by the
bill. he said. was the Abandonment OF our
priceless principles or Of our new possess

Carmack Covers Ancient History.

An astonished, but apparently salts
fed spider was one upon which a gen.
tleman recently made an experiment.
The result Of his Investigations is told
in Public Opinion:
While watching some spiders one
day, it occurred to him to try what ef-
feet the sound of tuning fork would
have upon them. He had n strong sus-
picion that they would take 1t for the
buzzing of fly. Selecting large.
fat spider. that had long been feasting
on flies, he sounded the fork and
touched thread of the spiders web.
The owner was at one edge OF his
web and the thread selected wa5 on
the other side Over his wonderful
telephone wires the buzzing sound was
conveyed to the watching sr.der, but
from his position he could not tell
along which particular l.ne the sound
was travelling.
He ran to the centre Of th, web In
hot haste, and felt all :rorr1 urtl' he
touched the thread against the olher
end of which the fork was sounding.
Then, taking another thread along
with him, as precautionary measure.
he ran out to the fork and sprang upon
it.
At this point he found out his mis-
take He retreated for short dis
tance and stopped to survey this new
buzzing creature which should have
been a fly, but strangely unlike any in-
sect he had ever seen. At length, APP
parently convinced that the object at
the outer edge of his web was more
suitable for amusement than for an
article of diet, he got on it again and
danced with pleasure. 1t was evident
that the sound of the fork was music
to him.

A New Development.

The so-called tucked flounce being
introduced is by no means what is
suggested by the name. Most people
would fancy that the fiounce is trimmed
with one or more tucks arranged hori-
zontally parallel with the hem. In
stead of this, the new tucked skirt
measures considerably less, about half
at the top from what it measures at
the bottom hem. The tucks are run
up and down for about half the depth
of the ounce. They occur at the top
and end half way down. The tucks
are introduced as means of disposing
of the excess fullness of the fiounce,
SO as to make it swell and spread. 1t
is a graceful scheme. You sometimes
see a skirt tucked about the hips so
that the fullness may be released be-
low the waist and made graceful
skirt. The same idea has been
adopted for the founce. You would
not desire to have more than one frock
made this way. because there are otner
modes in fashions, besides the tucked
f1ounce.

A Touch of Fashion in Millinery.

A summer shade hat has its own
''inlet' of black velvet ribbon high up
on The crown, as near as possible to
the small fiat top, and matching the
velvet binding of the brim. The inlet
gives point to the hat, and is quite
broad to match the very broad binding
of velvet on the brim. The monture is
of heliotrope, shaded wondrously like
the natural flower. 1t is arranged on
the left side, reaching to the front.
The flowers range from one black band
at the brim to the "inlet" above.

TEA AS AN ACTIVE POISON.
Its Characteristic Element Kills Cats and
Rabbits In a Laboratory.

Its Characteristic Element Kills Cats and
Rabbits In a Laboratory.
Tea tippling has become the fashion
able dissipation. We have borrowed
the habit from England. Over $4,000
600 pounds of tea Is consumed each
year in the United States. " omen with
overtaxed nerves are the great con-
sumers.
DIR. ]. III. Kellogg declares that tea
is an active poisOn-that it's active
principal, substance called them,
which can be distilled from tea in q
dry report, is fatal to life.
The them in tea is about & per cent.
of the total bulk. Experiments have
proved that about one-eighth of a grain
of it will kill a rabbit and II grains
will kill cat. In one pound Of tea
there is an ounce Of poisOn-enougb
to kill so cats.
Ten grains of theim will make
man i'll and half ounce of tea con-
tains from 10 to 1G grains.
Professor Lehman, a German ply
sician, gave several men from eight to
10 grains Of them each by way of ex-
pertinent. None of them was able to
work for two days.
There are tea drunkards. There
have been cases of delirium tremens
from tea drinking. BY chewing tea
leaves people can become thoroughly
intoxicated.
The woman who is tired takes cup
of tea and is relieved of her WEAKNESS.
But the sensation of WEAKNESS is a
danger signal Under the influence of
a stimulant she does not know when
she goes beyond the limits of safe
exertion. Tea is drug. not 100.
Not only does tea contain no nour-
ishment. but it interferes with diges-
ton. The craving for it is not nat
ural-as is the desire for food TASTE
must become vitiated by its llau.,ual
use before it becomes an apparent
necessity. Children drink it for the
cream all sugar older people for tne
effect.
Every one knows that tea contains
tannin. Add n little iron to tea and it
becomes black. Tea made in an iron
kettle is as black as ink. Even sur
ring a strong cup of tea with an iron
spoon will make it turn black 1ne
combination of the tannin of the tea
with iron makes ink. Leather Is
made by soaking hides in decoction
of bark which contains tannin.
A man who eats beefsteak and
drinks a cup of tea starts leather
manufactory in his own stomach. Tor
the tea. combining With the connect
i've tissue of the steak, soon trans
forms it into strong leather.
To prove this, soak piece of beef
steak in cup of strong tea tor ha.-
an hour. At the end of that time tht
steak will be SO tough that it will be
impossible to chew it,
Not only is tea a hindrance to the
digestion of fats and albuminoids, but
it prevents the digestion of starch.
Saliva digests starch. and the tannin
contained in tea hinders the produc-
ton of saliva.
The o'clock tea table has become
social evil The prevalence of tea
drinking is due to the fact that women
are trying to do more than their
strength will permit When ,neir
energy is exhausted they turn to tea.
But the habit is spreading among
men.
If that were not the case the con-
sumption of tea in this country would
not amount to about $9,OO0,OOO per AN
num.-New York Journal.
