CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator CAT
ferry of Louisiana, in the discussion of
the Philippine question, broke new
ground in developing his position as
an anti-expansionist. In response to
questions as to what in the present cir
cumstances he would do with the Fill
ipinos, he said with characteristic
courage of conviction: Turn them
loose as soon as we can get rid
of them. That would be better for
them and infinitely better for us"
Senator Caffery's argument was main
1y discussion of constitutional ques-
tons. He maintained that the consti-
tuition extends absolutely over the Fill
ipinos and that they are entitled to all
the rights and privileges of citizens of
the United States guaranteed by the
constitution. The senate in executive
session ratified The Hague peace
treaty and also the extraditton treaty
with the Argentine Republic.
Washington, Feb. 5.-Democrats of
the house continued their assaults up

Arkansas and Mr.. Clark Of Missouri,

SPEED OF OCEAN LINERS.

In an article in Casters Magazine
on steam speeds at sea Mr.. Oldham
says twenty-five years ago the Atlantic
had never been crossed by a screw
steamer at a greater rate than fifteen
miles an hour, that Of the fastest liner,
Scotia. Today steamers have reached
the speed of twenty-five miles an hour,
and, although the power required to
propel q steamer varies with the cube
Of the speed, yet, before third Of the
present century expires, another in
crease of at least so per cent. in ocean
speed may be safely predicted The

A WORKING-GIRL'S ALLOWANCE

1t is wrong for working girls par
ents to take all her earnings every
week, as it is customary to do, the
parents buying the girls clothing for
her It would be much better for the
girl-and for her parents themselves,
if they only knew tiff she were al
lowed to keep so much of her salary
every week for clothes-it need not be
more than the parents would spend for
her-and let her buy her own cloth
ing herself The girl knows how hard
her money is to earn, and her spending
it is profitable experience. Of
course, at first she will make in
judicious purchases-buy the wrong
sort of things, and pay too much for
them, in the eyes of her experienced
mother-but if the mother will quietly
point out to the girl how she could
have done better with her money, it
will not only be ecOnOmical-as good
a business WOman-as her mother,
but much more so, she having been
allowed an earlier beginning Another
great mistake that poor people as a
rule make is that because the girls of
the family are Workers-in shops and
the like-they are excused from all
home duties and domestic response
bilities. Mothers whose daughters
are employed during the day should
manage it so that the daughters as
sist in the purchasing of household
needs-food, additional furniture and
the like-for in this way they get to
know the market value of things
which they will probably be called up
on some day to purchase for their
own homes.-Hetty Green in Woman's
Home Companion.
