looks like an instance of the irresisti-

There are people who have contend

The Opening of Congress.

1t IS not too much to say that dur
ing the months when Congress Is
not IN session Washington seems only
half alive. To be sure. even then
there is considerable life in the town,
as much, perhaps, as in any other
city of its size in the United States,
bat there Is something about the
presence OF the great body of law
makers, the feeling that great things
are brewing, that what is done here
viii affect the destiny of the nation,
which gives a sort of electric thrill to
the atmosphere and produces an IN
dercurrent of interest which inhu-
ences subtIy but empbatiealIy the ev-
eryday life of the Capital
The Washington public apparently
takes Congress very much as a mat
ter of course; Senators and Repre-
seatatives are not likely to attract
much attention in the streets; and no
matter how great 4 man is he Will
not draw crowd here. But for all
that there is widespread interest In

DEPRECIATION OF CURRENCY.
Loss of Forty-thrce Per Cent on

The State Department has just receiv-
ed from the Deputy Consul of the United
States at Valencia a report on the de-
probation of Spanish currency He says
that II ~oId standard of that country
has su. 81 cd loss of 10 per cent. Con-
tinuing, the Deputy Consul says:
''The continual fluctuations and general
decline of currency values IN this coun-
try now constitute a standing impediment
to foreign trade, because. apart from the
actual loss to importers from depreeia-
ton, they introduce disturbing element
Of uncertainty and speculation into the
legitimate commercial transactions As
a practical demonstration of the sftua-
ton, I may state that Valencia importers
who purchased American goods last July
and were drawn upon at sixty days date
in United States gold are now pay:ag 3
per cent more in Spanish s=---ency than
the value OF the dollars at the time of
purchase

Peru takes the ground that arbi-

Rewars 81 Pneumonin.
C. ChronicIe.l

Pneumonia is me cause of DO per cent
of the deaths occurring at this time of
year, during the winter, and throughout
the spring in eui climate. The danger of
exposure from which colds may be con-
tracted cannot he exaggerated. Notwith-
standing many dsnials. there is no doubt
that Grover Cleveland was recently in
serious peril from this cause The death
of young George II. Pullman from pneu-
Tnonia in California is not perhaps an
instance that can be cited in speaking of
that disease in the lake belt OF along the
seashore But it is an instance fIIustrst-
ing the fact that in the Pacific as well
as in the centrtl and eastern parts of
the continent Constitutional debility from
any cause Invites the rayages of pneu-
Inonia and that strong systems only can
repei its attacks Beware OF pneumonia.
Build up the system by nutritious foods

The BertheIot Collaboration.

There are ali sorts of ways of show
ing ones patriotism. One is exempt
fed in the recent celebration of the
jubilee of the scientific debut Of NJ.
Berthelot, the famous French chem
ist. He has been for fifty years pro-
fessor at the Sorbonne. On the oc-
casion of this jubilee President Lou
bet and the members of his Cabinet,
the Diplomatic Corps, and scientists,
both French and foreign. gathered to
express their appreciation of his ser
vices President Boubet publicly en-
braced NJ Berthelot and gave him q
medal. The Minister of Education
pronounced a eulogy upon his life
work And there were great doings
generally.
Meanwhile the Angle Saxon stands
by with his hands IN his pockets and
an ironicaI grin on his countenance,
and thinks TO himself that the French
are nation of children. Especially
is this feeling marked on our own
size Of the water. The EngHshman
occasionally does what he conceives
20 be the correct thing himself, and
gives a fete TO some distinguished
scientist or other great man; but
King Edward does not express his
appreciation of the gentleman by hug
gfng him. The EnglizhInan can go
through long rigmarole OF forms
and ceremonies and not only keep a
perfectly straight face, but considers
it incomprehensibIe that anyone
should not realize the solemnftE and
importance Of the occasion.
