WORK OF THE COMING
WEEK IN CONGRESS.
First Four Days viii he Devoted to
the Currency Debate, which
Ends Thursday.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE nrst -FOUR
days of the week will be given up TO the
currency bill In the senate, and after that
measure is disposed of there will be a
contest for precedence In the interest of
several measures. These include the bills
for providing forms of government for
Hawaii and Puerto Rico, the Nicaragua
canal bill and the resolution for the seat
ing of Senator Quay upon the appoint
ment of the governor of Pennsylvania.
Which of these will take precedence re-
mains TO be determined. Just now there
is some sharp sparring for first place.
The currency bill will be voted on
Thursday, and all the time not given TO
such routine business as the introduction
of bills and presentation OF reports and
petitions will be devoted to this measure
until 1t is acted upon by the senate. Mon
day and Tuesday will be consumed with
set arguments for and against the bill
prepared in advance, and Wednesday and
Thursday will be devoted TO speeches not
exceeding ten minutes in duration on the
various amendments TO the bill.
The most important of these amend
ments is that offered by the Democrats.

Everybody's Magazine for June is
full of literature that is easy to read
and hard to forget. The "Simple Ex-
PLANTATION of the month is entitled
Electricity and Some Other Puzzles. ~
The author disclaims at the outset any
intention of ''explaining" what electric
lty is, for he says no explanation has
yet been given. But he talks breezily
along about the latest theories in regard
to it and when the reader finishes he
will have very good idea OF what it is
thought to be, as well as a pretty clear
understanding of the hypothesis that
concern light, heat, gravitation and tn e
atomic and molecular construction of
matter. "The Descent of the Horse -
is well-illustrated article that traces
in a bright and readable way the evolu-
ton OF the animal from the earliest pro-
genitor:-and who it seems was about
the size of fox ''From Cotton to
Cloth" is the fourth article in the
American Industries series. 1t des-
cribes the spinning and weaving Of cot
ton fabric. The mill taken as type is
one of the new ones in the South, and
the author takes advantage'of the fact
TO give some important and interesting
facts on the Southern Industrial situa-
ton. ''The Actor on The Road" is a
most amusing description of the trials
and triumphs of road company. 1t is
written by a manager of such compan-
les who prefers to keep his name secret,
alleging as reason that he has this
first chance to tell some of the profess
ton with safety what he thinks of
them The fiction is plentiful and con-
slsts OF the short, snappy, readable sto-
rles OF which the magazine makes a
speciality.
