WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The Senate
Committee on Isthmian Canal to-day en-

tee is also disposed to act first on the
bill as introduced by Senator Morgan,
providing only for the acquisition Of right
of way, leaving the details of legislation
for the construction of the waterway to

The firemen OF Japan spend their
flames in building operations and
hence there is a mild suspicion that
the firemen are not over anxious to
minimize the ravages of fire lest their
other occupation of housebuilding
should suffer. The average fireman is
a pugnacious individual. His greatest
pleasure. says a writer, is to pick a

Especial Letter.)

Mrs. laura w. Schwlchtenberg, who
spent six months az government in
tpeetoT, studying the women Of the
Philippine Islands, has given some in
teresting facts regarding her invesu-
cation, as follows:
While in Manila lived in one OF the
picturesque grass huts OF the natives
with my secretary and a little Filipino
maid. II took us some time to over
come our terror OF the insects and rep
tiles. We slept in big four-poster beds,
which had in place of springs cane
woven bottoms covered with thick
woven mating OF cocoanut and palm
fiber. This was spread with sheet
and made resting. place hard enough
to produce aches and pains for week.
The pillows were stuffed with jute. A
round bolster of the same material
woven mosquito netting hung from
the four posts and was tucked under
the edge of the mating all around the
bed to keep out mosquitoes. centipedes,
tarantulas, chameliops, etc. To pro-
vent these pests from inhabiting our
shoes We took the shoes to bed with
us. The running OF the rats over the
ceiling at night was not the least of
our troubles, and our maid suggested
that we get snake to catch them.
A snake, indeed. we found to be con-
sidered n necessary factor OF every
house. so | went in quest of one. |
found peddlers selling snakes like pup
py dogs, and one which was pointed
out to me as especially desirable for
the purpose was warranted to be a
first-class rat catcher and harmless.
A look at the monster, however-it
was fully twenty-eight feet long and
not lees thaa a foot in diameter-and
decided TO put up with the rats, unless
some other destroyer could be found.
The price asked for IL was $3.50. They
wanted to put II into our attic. be-
tween the ceiling and the grass roof.
Cheaper kinds could be bought for so
cents. The big fellow recommended

An Arithmetic Lesson.

A lesson in arithmetic is no joke

school boy Is alleged to have been in
spired to humor by the very worst N

he had failed on the sums the teacher
had set, he asked permission to give
one OF his own. The privilege was
granted. My aunt has eight child
rem he said. and she doesn't like to
favor one above the other. She was
at the market the other day and she
bought eight apples for them, one
apiece; but when she. got home she.
found she'd lost one apple. All the
same she divided the apples so as to
give each child the same number.
How did she do 1t? rhe class hadn't
got along to fractions, and the boy
insisted that his aunt knew nothing
about algebra. So the puzzled teacher
finally asked: We'll, how did she

MUSHROOMS As FOOD.
They Give Paiatsbieness to other Food
Materials.

Recent Investigations made by the
mushrooms are about equal to pota-
toes in the element OF nutrition that
goes to make flesh and blood. but
that. on the other hand. they do not
hold much of the fuel stuff required to
keep the body machine running. Con-
tanning. as they do. very large per-
centage of water. they may be said, in
a sense. to correspond with fresh vege
tables in respect to food value. The
notion that their composition resem-
bles closely that OF meat-a concep-
tion which has caused the term veg
etable beefsteak" to be applied to them
is an absurd error. One would
have to consume eight pounds Of
mushrooms in a day in order to takeI
the place of the ordinary ration of beef
or mutton. Tho great usefulness OF
mushrooms lies in the palata ableness
which they give to other food mate
rials. This Is matter of no small
importance from the point OF view Of
the economic expert in dietetics who
looks upon the attractiveness OF dish
es as a notable element in their value.
This common mushroom is trife
more than 81 per cent water. II con-
tains nearly per cent of flesh form
ing stuff, 3is per cent OF starchy and
sugar substances and 1 per cent of fat
and fibre. with one-half OF per cent
OF mineral material.

The Lap women who live in Alaska
are proving themselves exceedingly
valuable by their aptness in the man
agement and care of the reindeer and
they are now teaching the native Alas

are about dozen reindeer stations
now established in Alaska and more
to follow. The natives are required to
serve en apprenticeship of several
years at the reindeer stations. During
this time they arc practically taught
how to manage the deer and the max
ing OF sledges and reindeer harness.
After the expiration of their service
the government allows each a number
of deer as his own personal property
The total number OF reindeer in Alas

1000 have been distributed to the Es-

is one OF the most noted women OF
the colony. She is very intelligent. and
her particular duty is to teach the Es-

She also instructs them how to pre-
