Falsehood Is Intimated.

To this statement Mr.. Penrose retort-
ed that the New Hampshire senator
had assured him he did not expect to
speak on the Quay case.
Instantly Mr.. Gallinger was on his
feet and, with evident feeling and with
great vehemence, replied as above
quoted.
Il don't know whether I don't speak
the truth" hotly replied Mr.. Penrose,
or whether the senator from New
Hampshire failed TO tell me the truth"
Mr.. Gallinger retorted that the whole
proceeding of Mr. Penrose was IN
manly and beneath his notice
The proposition to fix a time for a
vote was postponed until tomorrow,
but il was some time before the ex-
citement subsidized.
The debate on the appropriation bill
developed a decided difference of opin-
ion, as Mr.. Jones (Dem., Ark offered
as a substitute for the measure a bill
TO return the duties TO those who had
paid them and providing for absolute
free trade between the United States
and Porto Rico. The bill had not been
disposed Of when the Quay case was
called up.

les quivered with excitement
There had scarcely been the slightest
intimation that the debate would take
such a turn. For nearly three hours
the senate had under discussion the bill
appropriating s2,O95.0OO for the benefit
of the people of Porto Rico. Mr.. Fair
banks Qnd.) had inst concluded some
remarks on the measure, and suggested
that the senate proceed to the eonsid-
GRAFTON OF executive business.
Pending motion TO that effect, Mr.
Penrose, who has charge of the case of
former Senator Quay, suggested that
time be fixed for a vote on the case.
In the course of his remarks he init
mated that certain senators were
throwing obstacles in the way of a vote
and indicated that Mr.. Gallinger was
one Of these senators.
Mr.. Gallingeg quietly replied that he
desired TO be heard on the question,
but had not had an opportunity 10
speak.

Coroners' inquests are well known
among the Chinese. One Of the chief
differences between their system and
ours Is that the Chinese doctors never
dissect. In fact, Cinnamon have a per-
feet horror Of dissection. There are few
things more absurd than the code Of
rules laid down for the Chinese coro-
ner. In the first place he is hidden
to make sur that he has a dead body
before he begins his inquest. That,
however, is less ridiculous than IL
sounds, for the heather Chinee Is
tricky and may demand an Inquest on
a sham deceased with a view to ex-
torting money from some person who
may be denounced as having caused
the death. The %preposterous part Of
the code comes In with regard to the
alleged signs which show the cause of
death. II the deceased Is supposed 10
have been poisoned, rico is put into his
mouth and then taken out and given
to a chicken. Its effect on the fowl de-
cides the question. Most Of the other
methods adopted are even more abb
surd and fancifui, and as a result in
quests in China do very little to pre-
vent crime.

MusHRooms As GOOD.
hemist and Doctors DlHer Greatly as
TO Their Value.

TO Their value.
A great deal has been said concern
ing the immense amount of valuable
food which was daily going to waste
in the shape of edible fungi, says the
London Family Doctor. We are told
that in many parts Of the world these
articles form the staple articles of diet
Of the inhabitants. Our attention has
been called to the natives of Patagonia
and Terra del Fuego, who are said to
be of gigantic stature, and to exist
principally on vegetable fungi, and to
certain African tribes who value
mushrooms so highly that one Of them,
the pOlyporus sacer, is worshiped as a
god. Chemists have assured us that
mushrooms belong to the animal rather
than the vegetable kingdom, seeing
that they possess a larger percentage
Of nitrogen than any other class Of
vegetable life. They are, we are told,
essentially protein in composition, as
much so, pound for pound, as butchers
meat. Two German scientists, Roll
brausch and Ziegel. stated some years
ago, as a result Of chemical investiga-
ton, that mushrooms deserve to be
placed with meat as sources of nitrog-
enous nutrlment. One man in Thur
ingia is said to have lived upon moth
ing but mushrooms for thirty years,
and to have died a centenarian. Com
parison has even been made between
mushrooms and other articles Of food
to the detriment of the latter. Thus
chemical analysis has shown mush-
rooms to contain from 20 to 25 per
cent OF protein, while bread only con-
tains 8 per cent, potatoes 5 per cent,
and barley meal 6 per cent Of protein.
Against this. however, we have the
opinion Of a Dr.. Kitchener, who in
1924 stated in a publication called
Cooks Oracle" that he did not be-
lieve that mushrooms were nutritious.
DR.. Jonathan Pereira, in his Treatise
on Food and Diet" published in 1s48,
said: Mushrooms are difficult Of d.
gestion. and on certain constitutions
act injuriously." Invalids, d~yspeptics
and those with delicate stomachs will
act prudently in avoiding the use of
this doubtful order OF foods. other
writer's have expressed similar opin-
ions, not, however. based on expert
mental work, and therefore they are
not absolutely reliable.

More Unmarried Men THAI Women. sag
tho Roporia

NMH WNHNNuNoMN AaNaNNh
Some one has proposed a husbands
union for the protection Of husbands.
Just what they are to be protected
from is not yet stated. Possibly the
union Is to be founded on the same
lines as the School for Wives. estab-
lished In England. stin better are the
marriage schools which are being de-
veloped in Germany on very practical
lines. They are for girls and women
only, and the value OF such a training
cannot be overestimated. Girls leave
the marriage school competent to un-
dertake the management of a house
and Of a husband. The girls who have
been graduated from these schools
have been extra lucky in getting mar
ried. so It is said. Another society
which has been organized In Denmark
Is the Celibacy Insurance society. Its
object is to provide for those women
who either cannot or will not provide
themselves with husbands. The pre-
miums begin at the age Of 10 and end
at 40, an age at which it is supposed
most Of the members will have aban-
doned all thought of marriage. Such
being the case, the woman receives an
annuity for life. II she marries at any
time she f%Orfeits all her rights. Old
maids in the United States are out
numbered by the bachelors, although it
is popularity supposed that the con-
trary is the case. To come to exact
figures, there are 7,427,767 bachelors
and 1924, 494 %spinsters. This is upon
the authority of a government report.
Even in Massachusetts. where &c was
thought that old maids constitute q
large proportion of the population they
could each find a husband, for there
are 226,0S5 men and only 219. 255
women who have not yet entered into
the bonds Of matrimony. New York
state has 100000 more bachelors than
spinsters. Only one state in the union
has more female celibates than male,
and that is California, in which there
are 59,456 of the former and 22,S29 of
the latter. The state Of Washington
has perhaps the largest excess of for
lorn single men-S9,537 all told, the
unmarried women numbering only
9,1S1. Out of an equal number of
bachelors and widowers between 20
and 30 years of age, thirty widowers
remarry for every thirteen bachelors
who enter the bonds of hymen for the
first time. For every spinster married
between 30 and So, two widows are re-
married. Both facts are eloquent in
favor Of che comparative advantages of
matrimony.

SOMEONE PULLED HIS SLEEVE.
Pencils story they Clipped in and
set the blind man up in business. And
when they passed him at the foot Of
the IL" stairs they thrust their hands
deeper in their empty pockets and as
sumed the airs Of promoters.
Pencils" lived in a miserable hole
Of a oom and made shift for himself
as hest he could until that glorious day
when a homely, shabby little cripple
came down to the tenement, and ask
ing for his Dom went in, built a FIRE
in the ramshackle stove, and, filling
a %brand-neW kettle she had bought,
had It soon singing on the IRE.
Several ladies Of the section CAME
in to ask If the morals Of the tene-
ment were to suffer. But the little
seamstress, with simplicity and dig
nifty told them who she was, that she
had known and loved Pencils" at the
asylum, and that she had come to
marry him and take care of him.
When Pencils" came tap-tapplng to
his poor home that night, expecting a
cold supper, he was met at the door
by motherly, outstretched hands. He
was dried at a glowing ire, and a cup
Of fragrant tea was handed him. And
while. dazed and happy. he slipped the
comforting drink, the little shabby
woman outlined her plan.
And now dawn poor, blind PEN
ellis" golden days, The little cripple
nobly fulfilled her mission. The sew
ing she did late into the night brought
In the money to make them quite com
Portable.
Pencils" did not retire from busi-
ness. but was never permitted to over
work. When he started for his post
his faithful little wife accompanied
him to the street, saw him safely
started, and then went back to her
eternal stitching.
Pencils. who had been warned re-
peatedly not to venture into unknown
territory, grew rash one day and de-
cided to explore. For two OF three
blocks he got on we'll. Then, growing
holder, he attempted to cross the
crowded thoroughfare just In front of
a flying trolley.
The little crippled %seamstress sewed
on alone for a few days. But the in
centive for work a gone. She grew
more and more reticent, She kept her
door locked and was often heard talk
ing to herself.
she's not right" was the verdict
Of the tenement. Every n tried to
be kind to her. but she shrank more
and more within herself.
One morning Mrs. Dun, the good
natured scrub oma on the third
floor, climbed the rickety stairs and
knocked softly at the door OF the little
seamstress.
She found her neighbor lying dead
upon her bed. The poor. homely little
face was %transngured into a semblanc'

ENCILSANDHIs WIFE

The shabby little crippled seamstress
WHO lived on the top floor of the back
tenement at East Seventeenth
street did not look like a heroine Of
q romance, but for an that she was
one.
When Pencils" the blind man who
stood patiently through heat and
snow and rain at the foot Of the
Third avenue IL" steps, thought Of her
goodness and kindness to him the
heart under his old faded, patched coat
beat like a trip-hammer.
Pencils was wont TO beguile the
time between trains by thinking Of
his romance. It helped him to bear
the broiling heat. the nipping cold,
or the pelting rain. The people who
hurried past him never so much as
dreamed hat the blind pauper stand
ing there. tlmidly pronering his wares,
knew what the word meant.
But Pencils" never wearied Of
thinking Of the little woman who had
made for him the only CLEAN Of SUM
shine he had ever known.
Pencils" was at one time an inmate
of a blind asylum. There we're mill
lions back Of It, and stewed prunes
for supper.
When Pencils" weary and sick Of
stewed prunes, asked for fresh apple
sauce, there was chaos and consterna-
ton in the institution. No such re-
volt has been on record since oliver
Twist asked for more.
The end Of it was that Pencils" was
cast forth and told to shift for himself.
There was a little crippled seam
stress sewing in the linen-room-a
homely, shabby, little creature, indus
trious and reticent. The story drifted
up to the linen-room, and when PEN
ellis" was slowly tapping his ray down
the steps Of the asylum for the last
time and vaguely wondering what vas
to become OF him some n pulled his
sleeve, slipped a bill in his hand, and
whispered an address and name to
him.
GO there said the voice. They
are friends Of mine and they win be
kind to you"
1t was the little seamstress. Pen
ellis" obeyed her instructions. and the
wretched tenement to which he was
directed opened its doors to him with
that beautiful hospitality only to be
found among the poor.

pennies together to buy food heard
