JUDGE zeNOR HEARD IN CONiResS.



Louis Ludlow, Washington cor
respondent of the Indianapolis Sen.
tinel, telegraphs under date Of Jan.
%, a. follows:
Congressman Zenor made speech
in the house to day on the Philip
pine question that was . master
pieoe .of logic and one Of the most
forcible presentations Of the hu-
manitarian side Of the Philippine
problem yet heard in congress. He
challenged the position taken BY
the republicans as an outrage
against the genius Of free American
institutions. His speech was limit
ed to twenty minutes, but hs COW
cred the subject admirably and was
frequently interrupted with ap-
plause.
Speaking Of the clause Of the ur-
gency deficiency bill appropriating
$500, ,0OO to establish . military
post in the Philippines, Mr.. Zsnor
said that the needs Of the United
States in this line should first be At
tended to before the government es-
tablished military posts in the far
away islands. The general policy
in dealing with the Philippines Was
not in accord with the spirit OF the
government OF the United States.
The plea that the Filipinos are not
civilized and must be dealt with a.
subject people, is that same old
excuse used by Great Britain to JUS
tify her course in dealing With the
American colonists, and has always
been q common excuse resorted to
by tyrannical rulers. He asked
what there had been in the conduct
Of the Fi'ipinos to justify the United
States in denying them tho same
rights for which the patriots Of l776
fought. He declared that there are
mo people under the sun that would
not feel aggrieved and oppressed II
they had assisted the United Statss
in conqueriug Spain, believing that
an American victory meant their
own Independence, and had then
seen their own rights and Liberties
trampled upon. "The Filipipos
had q right to believe" said Judge
Zenor, Gin the absence Of any spe-
cific agreement, that We would &C.
cord Ia them their ireedo )"
He said that the right course to
pursue would have been to admin.
lister their government only until
they had established government
Of their own. Concluding, be said
"The spirit Of liberty bufhs 10 the
hearts OF all men, even 10 the heart
Of q Filipino" This remark echoed
the sentiment Of the democratic
side and was literally applaudsd.

woman's Lounging Robe.

long in every woman's wardrobe and

comfortable, inasmuch as nothing is
more eXtravagant than lounging in a

stylish model shown in the large draw
ing is admirable in many ways and is
suited to a variety of materials lawn
dimity and the like, challie, albatross
yelling ard similar light weight woods;
but as shown is of pale blue lawn with
trimming of white embroidery and
blue louisine ribbons.
The robe is simply made with
smooth fitting yoke, that can be cut
high or square neck, to which the full
front and the Watteau-llke back are
attached The back is gathered and
hangs loose and the under-arm cores
curve gracefully TO the figure. The
front Is gathered TO the yoke and
closes invlslbly at the left side. The
elbow sleeves are gathered at the lower
edges and are finished with graduated
frills, but the long sleeves are In
bishop style with straight narrow
cuffs.
To cut this robe in the medium size
ten and a half yards of material
twenty-seven inches wide. ten yards
thirty-two inches wide or Ave and

Have you ever thought how little
besides knowledge passes from gener-
alton to generation? OF those things
absolutely necessary TO life and to
comfort very little beyond the needs
of the immediate present accumulates.
OF food, most necessary of ALL strive
all we can, the limit of accumulation
is but u few months. And of those
things which give purely physical com.
fort-clothing, fuel, shelter-wlth all
our modern mechanisms and methods
Of preservation, we little more than
keep abreast of daily demands. In art
and literature only do we produce
tangible things that survive for the
benefit of the future.
But there is one thing that we do
gain and give and accumulate from
generation to generation-a thing more
lasting than any work of art or of lit.
erature-more lasting than even the
ruins of the greatest monuments, and
Of more value than all the products
Of man combined-the one thing that
no fire, no flood, no drouth, no disease,
no famine, no convulsion Of nature can
ever destroy-knowledge.-New York

Music in Sickness.

A correspondence has been proceed
ing in a contemporary on the interest
ing subject of music as a therapeutic
agent 1t is claimed, as It was afore-
time. that music hath charms-charms
other than those which enthusiastic
people seek even during midsummer
heat in concert-hall and drawing room.
One Of the correspondents declares
that beautiful air even when played
on barrel organ, will frequently suf-
flee to mitigate or charm away pain.
Then there are cases quoted of rabid
fever cured by use of a violin. and Sir
Andrew Clark and Sir Richard Quain
are mentioned as supporters of the
Guild of st. Cecilia. All this may help
to persuade the professional unbeliev-
er that there is possibly something in
it," but we do not ourselves quite see
what examples are needed to prove
that distracted nerves and feverlsh
blood must inevitably by soothed by
gentle strains of music. 1t is a fact
self-evident. If music can charm away
worry and anxiety in the case of
healthy people, how much more. should
it soothe the sufferer on a bed of sick
ness. If this fact were more generally
believed we have no doubt that many
a sick-bed would be rendered less in.
tolerable to the sick person.-London

Pretty Things to Nenr.

All the correct walking skirts arc
now made after kilt models.
Semi-blind embroideries have super
seded all other kinds in favor.
Filet lace, both black and white, is
the popular fancy of the hour.
Stock collars with decided down.
ward point in front are very popular.
Veil beads of jet sewed en- bias folds
of black satin make very effective gar.
niture.
Henry VII. and Mary Tudor are two
of the coming shapes in cool weather
headgear.
A line of braid an inch wide at each
seam Of the skirt is quite fashionable
at present.
White cotton fringe is the extremely
novel yet chic trimming used on the
side Of beige linen blouse.
Taffeta costumes are favorites for
autumn and are made comfortable by
a cloth or knitted waistcoat
Hats of soft white felt trimmed In
wings and scarfs in black and white
are to be the popular autumn head,
gear.
Carlands of small artificial flowers
held together with bebe velvet ribbon
effectively trim moussellne evening
gowns.
The double veil effect-that is two
wells In one-one to wear over the face
and one over the hat has only had very
moderate success.
The effect of slenderness that Is
rather counteracted by the universal
basque is given to the autumn jackets
by strapping the seams In the back
with bias bands of the material.
The exceedingly loose coats, sort of
combination of cloak and coat. that
We're considered too extreme In the
spring are now in high favor, since

Children,s Hat Elnstics.

Now that the season is here when
hats are again an important feature of
the wardrobe. 1t behooves mammas to
give a thought to the method of hold
ing them on Unless one knows and is
thoughtful, one naturally chooses the
way that gives the most pleasing re-.
suit.
Looks count
But looks are not all important. In
the place of hat elastics they should
be given second place. An elastic hid
den behind the little ears undoubtedly
looks neater. but it puts pressure on
the optic nerve which is very harmful
to that most sensitive organ, the eye.
SO if there must be an elestic, put it in
front of the ears.
This may encourage that pretty fash
ion of tying on hat with n ribbon,
the bow coming under the chin or to
one side. 1t would hold the ears down,
too, instead of propping them out, as
do so many mammas with too tight
elastics or other bands.

of black taffeta with a collar Of heavy
twine colored lace over one of silk and
finish of straps stitched with corti-
celli silk.
The coat is seml-ftted and includes
shoulder, under-arm and centre back

at the centre back. Over the seams
and edges are applied straps of the

means of buttons and loops, but the
straps can be omitted and the edges
simply stitched and the closing can be
made invisibly by means of a fly if
preferred.

six and three-quarter yards of material
twenty-one inches wide, six and n
quarter yards twenty-seven inches
wide, two and three-quarter yards for

How a Man browns.

Few popular fallacles are OF such
wide extent as the belief that person
must rise to the surface three times,
no more and no less, before he can DOS.
sibly drown. There is little ground
for this supposition. although 1t has
been almost universally believed in for
generations. The truth is that a
drowning person may sink the first
time never to rise again, or he may. as
be indeed does, in the majority Of
cases, rise three times before he sinks
forever 1t all depends upon the guam
tity of water that he swallows when he
sinks and the size of his lungs. The
human body In life naturally floats
while the lungs are inflated. AS long
as one keeps his head above the surface
OF the water be can float, face up.
without having to move hand or foot.
But as soon as he sinks he gulps and
lmbibes quantity OF water. If, after
be has swallowed water, he has any
air left In his lungs. he will undoubt-
edly rise again, and will continue to
sink and rise alternately. untn all the
air Is expelled from his lungs. when

are not perfectly well and in the case
OF man who uses tobacco.
Children and adults are alike subject
TO contagious and infectious diseases
from kissing. and this possibility
should be a caution against the fashion
of promiscuous kissing. Several cases
of smallpox resulted from this indis-
criminate kissing of a lady who was
thought to be only slightly ailing.
Do not express your sympathy for
the sick by kissing. Parents should
never allow their children to be kissed
by strangers, and children should be
prohibited from kissing each other.
Influenza or the epidemic form of
catarrhal fever is undoubtedly trans
ferred from one child to another often
times by the contact of kissing. Scar
let fever, measles. chickenpox, whoop-
ing cough. mumps and diphtheria are
often communicated in this way.

Fourteen Great Mistakes.

Somebody has condensed the mis-.
takes Of life and arrived at the conclu.
sion that there are fourteen of them.
Most people would say, says Woman's
Life, If they told the truth, that there
was no limit to the mistakes of life;
that they Were like the drops in the
ocean or the sands on the seashore in
number, but it is well to be accurate.
Here, then, are fourteen great mis-
takes: 1T is great mistake to set up
our own standard of right and wrong
and judge people accordingly; to meas.
ure the enjoyment of others by our
own; to expect uniformity OF opinion
in the world; to look for judgment and
experience in youth; to endeavor to
mould all dispositions alike; to yield to
lmmaterial tritles; to look for perfec.
tion in our own actions; to worry our.
selves and others with what cannot be
remedied; not to alleviate all that needs
alienation so far as lies in our power;
not to make allowances for the infirm-
tiles of others; to consider everything
impossible that we cannot perform;
to believe only what our finite minds
can grasp; TO expect to be able to un.
derstand everything"

NEW OCCUPATION FOR WOMAN.

The Complicated But Ren,unerative Busi-
ness of Home-Making.
A new occupation has been added to
an already extensive list of what Is
politely termed woman's work. 1t is
the complicated but remuneratlve busi-
ness of home-making. None of the
sentimental domestic train your chill
dren and the hired girl as they should
go business, but a combination of the
talents of interior decorator, art col
lector. and past mistress in the refine
ments of housekeeping. The idea, like
inventions, began with the mother of
necessity. A woman who was known
among her friends as having "such a
knack" in arranging her little home
was forced by ill-fortune to give 1t up.
She lived, not In shoe, but in n fiat
of minute dimensions, and 1t was the
most fascinating spot in the big. over
powering city which must here be
nameless. Whoever saw the flat was
enraptured with It, But its occupant
had to give 1t up and store or sell all
the treasures, and dissipate the evil
dences of taste which made it home in
the best sense of that abused word.
Friends said. LET the place fur
nished," but one day somebody came
along and said, sell it out to me. I'll
pay you what you ask and take the
lease. Everything here suits me down
to the groundp' This transaction gave
birth to the idea" Another individual.
who wanted to set up a cosey little
apartment, hearing of this clever labor
saving scheme, also engaged the
woman to seek out another fat and to
furnish it precisely "to suit herself"
No suggestions were offered but a suit

that the place might be ready for the
new owners occupancy on such and
such a date. From this tiny commits
sion others followed, and now this
home-maker declares she is in her ele-
ment, and only one part of her busl-
ness dlstresses her. For, as soon as the
home is exactly as she wants it, with
all the dainty touches laid on to her
satisfaction, she must abandon it, and
her client steps in and reaps all the
benefits. Surely an original means of
earning q velihood.-Boston Herald.

Chains of Sea Shells.

Far Western women have adopted q
new fashion - the wearing of shell
necklaces and chains. The shells are
tiny and iridescent, and come from the
South Sea Islands. The San Francisco
jewelers., who are directly responsible
for the fad, say that the delicately
formed shells suitable for my lady's
neck are extremely rare, and that ma
tives grovel in the sands for days to
obtain n small handful. In California
and the arid States the shell chains
have become popular instantly, even
without the approval of New York
fashionables, and they may reach here
by autumn.-New York Press.

self-Defenso For Women.

A Pennsylvania girl of nineteen re-
Gently gave a tramp n lesson which is
likely TO last him for some time. He
attempted to rob her while she was en-
joying a rest by the roadside after a
ride on her wheel, and she told him
to depart. He treated the proposal
with scorn and started to seize her,
when she caught his hand and gave
it a twist that enlightened him. She
then delivered blow on the point of
the chin which landed him on the
grass, and he was cnly too glad to get
away.
1t Is an unfortunate fact that most
lone women as they were a generation
ago, and for many of these it is some
thing of problem to know what to do
about it.
This particular girl had taken lessons
In boxing from her brother, and stud
led the science OF self-defense Such
knowledge is a fairly good substitute
for strength when one is obliged to
enter into q physical argument with
an antagonist who has only brute force
and no brains behind it, OF course
the experience of this girl might have
had q very different termination had
she encountered a ruffian with both
science and strength, but as it was
she gave her assailant the surprise of
his life, and undoubtedly saved herself
from an attack which would have been
intensely disagreeable.
1t is not likely that any woman will
rashly take such risks. but it might be
good thing If more of them were pre-
pared to defend themselves. In such
cases the surprise is half the battle
Stray scoundrels do not expect a
woman to understand boxing, though
they are not wholly unprepared to see
her pull out a pistol. One woman en-.
gagged il phllanthropic work, which
took her into some dangerous places,
carried a paper of red pepper in her
pocket, and on cne occasion flung it in
the face of an ascailant. Before he
could recover from his surprise she
had escaped.-New York News.
