RECIPROCITY TREATIES.
No Further Efforts in Their Behalf
 This Session.

Washingtn, Feb. 2S.-The senate committee on foreign relations decid- ed to make no further efforts to se- sure action upon the various reel procity treaties before the senate dur ing the present session. The question was thoroughly canvassed. All the senators present agreed that in the present condition of business it would be impossible to secure action upon the treaties during the few days left of the session. Senator Perkins has indicated unalterable opposition to the Jamaican treaty, and other sen- ators oppose all the treaties on prin- ciple. There would be a desire for general debate if the question should be brought to the front at all. and for this would be a waste of very pre- clous time to take the question up now.

The report is dated at Hong Kong. Decem- Der 27, and is taken up chiefly with statements to show that American agricultural machinery is not wanted among the farmers Of China.

FILLED ALL REQUIREMENTS
She Wanted a Real Sensible Book an q She Took Robinson
 CrusOe.

The trials of librarians in city libraries have often been cited; those of the guardi- ans of small country libraries are of a diff ferent character, but require perhaps the exercise of even greater patience, says Youths Companion.
 Ma wants you should pick her out a book" said freekle-faced girl to the bright young woman in charge of the free library of a New England village; and she don't want a serious one, she says, nor she don't want a love story, without it's founded on fact. Nor of course, she don't want anything she's ever read before"
 The librarian tapped her pencil thought. fully on the desk, without a trace of de- spair which a chance listener to this dialogue expected 10 see on her face.
 Nor she don't want anything that's chopped up. into short stories, she says" continued the girl, bent on the librarian 8 further enlightenment, "and she wants con sider bic going on, and lot of pictures, ma does. And she told me partic'lar to say she didn't want no di'lec' stories; she says she knows well enough how folks in the country talk"
 Still the librarian thoughfully tapped her pencil. apparently waiting for further in- structions.
 "She wants real sensible book the kind grandma likes and like, too" volunteered mas, emissary; then suddenly she leaned over the librarian. Say" she whispered, hoarsely, If there's one of the Robinson Cruzo books in, ma said you'd better gimme that"
 Certainly" said the librarian, pleasant ly, and a moment later the well-thumbed copy of the famous adventures had changed hands, and the happy possessor of it de- parted wreathed in smiles.

 As a result of the changeable eli mate, catarrh has become one of the most prevalent and universal diseases known to man. Nearly one-third of the people of the United States are afflicted with catarrh in some of it's many phases and stages. Add to this the fact that catarrh rapidly tends to become fixed or chronic, also the fur ther fact that it is capable of producing a great many other diseases, and we begin to realize the true nature of this dread disease.
 So formidable has catarrh become that in every city or town of any size numerous doctors are to be found who make the treatment of catarrh a spe- cialty. Of course a great deal of good is accomplished in this way, but as yet a comparatively small number of the people can avail themselves of this treatment because of the great expense necessarily attached to it.

To all such people Dr. Hartman's remedy, Peruna, comes as great boon. Not only Is It more successful II cur ing cataIrh than the treatment of the catarrh specialists, but It IS within the reach oi every erson in this land. Peruna can Le bought at any store, and IS a remedy without ,lal for catarrh in all forms, coughs, colds, bron- chltls, consumption, and all climatic diseases of winter.
 Peruna is not guess, nor an experi- ment; it is an absolute, scientific eer- tainty. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Peruna has no substitutes no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. Let no one persuade you that some oth- CT remedy will do nearly as well. There IS no other systemic remedy for catarrh but Peruna.

 ing of the session of the senate Mr.
 Lodge fayorably reported from the
 committee on Philippines Mir. Petit grew's resolution ordering a reprint
 of the instructions and papers sent to the Paris peace commission so as to include an important telegram which had been omitted from the original print. Mir. Lodge said the omitted telegram had been sent to the public printer with the other papers. but he

 was adopted.

  Mir. Teller (Col.) discussed the two controverted questions-the Philip pine and Cuban amendments. lie re- garded the Philippine amendment as
 much improved by the amendment of fered by Mir. Hoar, but, to his mind, it still was objectionable. The Cuban amendment was much stronger and much better than the public press had conveyed the impression it would
 be, but he had some reservations in
 his approval of it.
 A resolution was introduced by Senator Allen (Neb.) instructing the
 secretary of the navy to send to the l senate copies of the letter of Gunner Morgan to Admiral Sampson request | ing the latter's indorsement of his
