Healthy and Unhealthy Food in 10

Health is not quoted in the market be-

The person who rejects meat in hot

many causes and effects that have a d.

individual 1t is far more necessary to
give due attention to diet during and af-
ter a season of prolonged high tempera-

feels a decided disinclination to dc this is
sufficient proof OF the necessity of such
study, as a distaste for food shows a dis
turbed condition of health.

Long black or white tulle sashes are

Sailor collars IN old blue or WnlLe,

The cretonne appliques SO smart just

present season started in as a pong7e
and white shirtWaist season, but the
muslin frock has certainly won out"
with the best dressed class of women.
The fashionable stores of State street
are the rendezvous of these cool and
lightly clad shoppers. They look se-
we're, calm and unrufiled, though the
sun is doing its ambitious best to re-
duce them to a state of Wilted Weari-
ness. Most of the dresses are simply
but very daintily fashioned, with full
tucked bodices and with lace insertions.
1t is pleasing to have to note that there
are no transparent yokes and sleeves in
evidence.
A shirtwaist hattie severe little
sailor seems to be quite demode this
season-pretty shoes, white petticoats,
a bright hued parasol and white silk
gloves were in nearly every case the
accomplishments of these frocks.
A point worth remembering by the
woman who likes to be dernier cri is
that many of these muslin street gowns
buttoned up the back, which stands for
two things-one, that a baby bodice,
such as most Of the gowns
have, should be buttoned in the back
to have the properly simple and youth
full effect; secondly. it gives the i'm

Women as Readers.

The criticism often has been made
that in railroad trains, waiting-roOms,
dining rooms, street cars, everywhere,
men are absorbed in the daily papers,
while women either do not read them
or merely skim the fashion and society
columns. Women, it is said. take no
interest in current events, and hence
are not fitted to participate in public
affairs. A philosophical explanation
may be found in the old adage. They
have no need of keys who have no
doors to unlock says Susan 3. Anth-
ony in the Chicago Sunday Chronicle.

She rides by in her Russian sleigh
Wrapped to the very eyes in furs;
In all the passing line today
No equipage can vie with hers.
Her fur clad coachman, dignified,
In stately grandeur holds the reins;
The fur clad footman by his side
No vulgar side glance ever deigns.
She sits there naughty and alone,
The pride of fashion in her face,
And, like princess on her throne,
She looks down n the populace.
She is the envied one of all,
And yet no gladness fills her heart,
For, oh, her new boots are too small,
And, oh, oh, how her chilblains
smart!

What They Think of.

The mason thinks of his trowel,
The shoemaker thinks of his anvil,
The carpenter thinks of his level,
The woodman thinks of his maui,
But truth, which is more important,
Gets hardly thought at all.
The merchant thinks of his ledger,
The lawyer links of his plea,
Tho doctor thinks of his patient,
The admiral thinks of the sea;
Do you think of truth and justice,
Of the right which makes men free
quirer.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, JAN Ex-senator Nc
Cumber rep, N. ID argued in sup
port of the army reorganization meas
use. The feature of the debate was
the denunciation of the practice Of
hazing at West Point military
academy. Senators Allen, Money and
McCumber declared it to be an evi-
dence of brutality and cowardice, and
the Mississippi senator maintained
that the cadet whom others attempted
to haze would be justified in killing
his assailants. He declared if he
were the cadet upon whom such cow
ardly brutality was attempted he
would kill those who assaulted him if
he had to wait hundred years for
the opportunity.
Senator Teller moved to strike out
the paragraph of the bill which en-
powered the president to place on the
retired list any officer who had been
suspended from duty by sentence of
court martial or by executive order
in mitigation of such sentence. He
said the paragraph might apply to
Major Joseph H. Wham, whose record
he dwelt upon as splendid one,
filled with acts of gallantry at Nash
vile, Franklin and other battlefields.
He read number of recommends
tons from influential people urging
Wham's appointment as paymaster
general and said the recommendations
seemed to have brought on Wham in
famous persecution. The motion was
agreed to.
Senator Allen declared the bill was
wrong in purposes, and radically
wrong constitutionally. "The Fill
pinos," he maintained. never owed
allegiance to the United States and
do not today. They owe allegiance
only to their own island government,
however weak and puny that may be.
They are not rebels. though they may
be insurgents
Senator Allen discussed vigorously
the situation at West Point, brought
out by the pending investigation. He
declared that brutality had been de-
veloped at West Point which ought
| not to be expected to exist among bar
barians. After brief review of the
Booz case. Senator Allen declared that
the first thing a fourth classman
meets at West Point is brutal assault
and humiliating indignity. Some
regular army officers say hazing can
not be prevented" said Senator Allen.
'You place one Of the old volunteer
| officers at the head of that institution
and in six weeks he will put a stop to
it or there will be some dead cadets
there. I have information which
leads me to believe hazing at West
Point has been resorted to for the
purpose of forcing out of the institu-
ton cadets appointed from civil life
in order to make room for sons of
army officers"
| Washington, Jan. 16.-The river and
harbor appropriation bill was passed
today by the house. It has been
under consideration for over a week
and has been assailed from many
quarters, but it's friends stood solidly
by it and defeated every amendment
to which the river and harbor com
mittee would not agree. The bill
passed practically as it came from the
committee. 1t carries slightly less
than $60000,000, Of which $23,000,000

ment Of the Louisiana controversy of
that time In that letter Senator
Chandler stated that the COM
mission of which those two
gentlemen were members had
been sent to Louisiana by President
Hayes to destroy the Packard state
government. This having been ac-
complished, Senator Chandler said the
president then undertook to "recog-
nize" the members of the commission,
giving Mr.. Harlan the appointment of
associate justice and offering Mr..
Hawley the place of director Of the
Paris exposition, which the latter de-
clined, Senator Chandler said, because
Of the inadeQuacy of salary. When
this point in the article was reported
Senator Hawely interrupted in
somewhat excited manner to denounce
the statement as false, which he did in
very emphatic and plain language.
Sentor Chandler replied in like man
ner, saying the article had been pre-
pared by him twenty-three years ago,
that it never been before cOntrad1ctet i,
and that he still stood by it. He add
ed the whole subject was ancient his
tory and announced his intention to
vote for Harlan's confirmation. Sena-
tors Spooner, Mason and Lindsay
made brief speeches.
The house after passing the District
of Columbia bill by vote of 1875 to 81
passed a number of bills under sus-
pension of the rules. They were to
provide a home for aged and infirm
colored people out of the flnd now in
the treasury to the credit of the de-
ceased colored soldiers, amounting to
about $230,00O; to establish a branch
soldiers home at Johnson City, Wash

the salary of the commissioner of edu-
cation of Porto Rico from So, 900 to
$4,000. The bill to give citizens of
foreign countries the right to sue in
the court of claims, for indemnity for
alleged injuries, which had been re-
commended by the state department,
was disastrously beaten.

Washington, Jan. 17.-As demon
stration in honor of the seating of a
single senator and as an elborate
beautiful floral spectacle, the return
of Matthew Stanley Quay of Pennsyl-
vania to the senate today was unique
in the history of that body Within
the memory of the oldest senator
nothing approximating the scene was
ever witnessed in the senate on a
similar occasion. Senator Quay S
friends from Pennsylvania came to
Washington by the hundreds to wit
ness his induction into office and they
brought with them floral offerings
literally by the carload. Quay was
sworn in. During the days session
the army reorganization bill was dis
cussed at length by Senators Money
(dem., Miss.), McComas rep, Md
and Bates (dem., TENN. The Mis-
sissippi senator devoted some atten-
ton to the practice of hazing at West
Point which he bitterly denounced.
Washington, Jan. lin the house
the entire time was spent upon the
bill to revise and codify the postal
laws. Just before the house adj
journed, when no quorum was present,
Mr. William Alden Smith of Michigan
offered an amendment to increase the
pay of letter carriers of the first,
second, third and fourth classes, re-
spectively to $1,000, $1,000, $500 and
5000 The amendment was defeated
on rising vote, 10 to SO.
Washington, Jan. 19.-The session
of the house was devoted chiefly to
the postal codification bill, which was
about half completed. The discussion
compel star route contracts to be let
to persons living contiguous to the
route, but the proposition was defeated
after extended debate. Among the
bills passed was that granting fifteen
days annual leave to employees of

Washington, Jan. 21.-The senate in
executive session today confirmed
the nomination of James S. Harlan to
be attorney general of Porto Rico. The
final vote was reached after discus
sion of more than two hours dura-
ton, and when announced stood 43
to 81 in favor Of confirmation. All
republicans voted in the affirmative
and two or three democrats voted
with them. The session was charac-
terized by spirited colloquy between
Senators Chandler and Hawley, in
which bitter personal language was
used. The controversy grew out of a
letter written by Senator Chandler in
1877 which was read by Senator Pet
tigrew, concerning the controversy
