Secures the AbrOgatiOn of the Famous CIayton- -Bu|-
 Wer Treaty TELLER SPOKE AGAINST II
Sharply Criticised the State Depart. ment for Not Securing Treaty Which Would Have Given En-
 tire Satisfaction to U. 8

Washington, December 16.-The Senate today ratified the Hay-Pauncefote isth- milan canal treaty by the decisive vote of 72 to 6. The vote was reached a few minutes before 5 o'clock after almost five hours discussion behind closed doors
 The principal speech of the day was made by Senator Teller in opposition to the treaty, and he was followed in rapid succession by twelve or fifteen other Sen ators who spoke briefly either for or against the motion to ratify.
 MT. Teller expressed confidence that the resolution would be adopted, but said he was convinced that there were Senators who were really satisfied with the treaty. He believed 1t would have been possible to secure a treaty which would give en- tire satisfaction and he sharply criticised the State Department for falling to do so. He took the position that it would have been sufficient to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and said that England knew well enough with that re- BulL accOmpnSneQ she could very well trust the United States to maintain the neutrality of the canal, as this country had been prepared to do so for many years.
 Some of the Speakers.
 Among other speakers of the day were Senators Clay, Fairbanks. McCumb ber McLaurin of Mississippi, Culberson, Mall lory, Mason, Tillman. Bacon and Bate. Senator Clay contended that the treaty should be ratified because it secured the abrogation of the Clayton -Bulwer treaty. Senator Mason made a strong plea for the treaty, expressing his gratiiication that American diplomacy had secured such a triumph as was the treaty over the original Hay-Pauncefote agreement. Sem ator Bacon's speech was made in connec- ton with a motion to amend the treaty. In presenting this amendment he said he was in favor of a canal, and would vote for the treaty with the Davis amend ment. He said he opposed the treaty because he did not believe it would give the United States full control of the canal.
 He said that Great Britain rejected the amended Hay-Pauncefote treaty, but sent us another treaty about identical with the former treaty as amended ex- cept as regards the Davis amendm ent He considered that fact the most impor- tant feature of the whole treaty.

The Battles Of nature.

We read the tablets Of long ago
which the geolOgist has declphered for

OF battles. The successful species
which occupy the great geological hor-
lions have come out Of great tribula-

the silurian period. the gigantic club

age, the enormous ammonites Of the
jurasslc and chalk epochs, the mighty
elephants and majestic deer forms Of
the tertiary era, are magnates Of the

It is 4 popular idea that II one be
amply provided with warm clothing.
wraps, a macintosh, rubbers and an
umbrella little risk is run of taking
cold, yet it is a matter of frequent ex.
perience that, in spite of all reason.
able precautions, a catarrhal affection
may be developed or pneumonia set in.
The fact that WEAKNESS, depression Of
spirits, fright anxiety or something
which has affected the nervous systcm
unfavorably has preceded the attack is
frequently overlooked. When free from
every f)rm of nervous debility a per-
son may expose himself to draughts,
dampness and other usual causes Of
colds and escape entirely, while at an
other time, when weary or depressed
from any cause, he may become the
victim Of fatal attack OF pneumonia
from a much sllghter exposure. The
nervous origin Of colds seems to be
recognized by all physicians who have
made a special study OF acute diseases
of the lungs and throat
1t Is explained that the temperature
OF the body Is maintained by the
nervous system, and that the least
failure or relaxation Of nervous energy
causes a change of the bodily heat and
impairs the power Of the body u re-
sist the approach of disease. 1t is a
wonderful fact that under any change
of outside temperature (even IL one
go from the Arctic regions to the Equa.
tori the heat of the body remains at
about ninety-eight degrees. But for it's
regulation by the nervous system the
heat OF the body could not remain con-
stant, as every muscular eXertiOn
would raise the temperature Weari-
ness, anxiety, depression and the like
lower the amount of nervous energy,
and render the body susceptible to
colds from the least exposure by dis
turbing the process of regulating the
temperature. While warm clothing and
all the common means of protecting
the body are important, it Is even more
important to avoid needless exposure If
the nervous system be not in It's best
condition.

HOW 20 Curry a Gun.

There are only two directions IN
which a muzzle Of gun can safely be
pointed; these are up or down. A shot
fired in the air can scarcely injuTe any
one or anything, and one discharged
into the ground is equally harmless.
Therefore, in all the different positions
which the gun assumes, see that 1t is
pointed either up or down. Sometimes
a man will be seen who carries his
gun reversed, holding it by the muzzle
while the fore end rests on the shOul-
der and the stock projects behind.
Happily, this practice is not common,
for it is extremely dangerous, and
many men have been killed by carry
ing their guns in this way. Ii man
stumbles or steps in hole, or catches
his foot on a root and falls, his gan
may very likely be thrown forward
with the muzzle directly toward his
body, and may easily enough be dis
charged.
Sometimes one may see a boy or
even a man who will carry the gun
across the back of the neck with one
arm over the stock and the other over
the barrels, sometimes with the hand
resting on the muzzle. This Is certain
to give a very uncomfortable feeling to
anyone who happens to be walking by
the side Of the person carrying his gun
in this fashion and opposite the muzzle
end. While the danger Of discharge
IS, perhaps, not great, 1t is unpleasant
to be waking along with gun-pOmt-
ed at your neck or head.

The ancient wore a single pouch at

his toothbrush, and, internally, the
pettifogger his legal papers the papers

How long before there may be pockets

patents covering this invention-and
