WASHINGTON,
(Communicated).


Jan. q, 1902.
The Democrats Of the House of
Representatives held their long
deferred caucus OH Friday even
ing and, under the skilfull guild
ance of Mr.. Richardson and other
Democratic leaders, determined
upon a policy which it is believed
will prove most effective. not
alone in furthering the interests
of the party but also In stemming
the tide of plutocratlc legislation
which it is expected the Republi
can majority will attempt to i'm
pose upon the country. Some of
the members did not consider it
within the province of the caucus
to reverse any of the decisions of
the last national convention but
apart from their contention it was
determined that there was no
necessity at this time for so doing,
1t was further decided that it
would be wiser for the members of
the party to devote their whole
attention to checkmating raids
of the opposition on the Treasury
and endeavoring TO protect the
whole people from legislation in
spired by the great vested interest
whose liberal campaign contribu-
tiOns secure for them such extern
sive influence in the councils of
opposition.
The Ways and Means Com
mittee is still giving hearing to
the representative of the beet
sugar and tobacco industries in
this country and in Cuba. The
beet sugar lobby is growing des
perate and in contemplating a
coalition of forces with the Demo
Gratis in an effect to reduce the
protection on refined sugar. The
beet sugar men, of course, inspir-
ed by animosity to the Sugar
Trust but they frankly admit that
they would be in a better position
to develop their industry if the
Trust were dest rOyed even if reel
procal privileges were granted to
Cuba. The Democrats are uatu-
rally and consistently opposed to
a duty which puts immense
profits into the hands of the trust
at the expense of the vast body of
consumers. Representative Nc
Call, Republican member from
Massachusetts, tells me that he
will vote for reciprocity as he
does not consider that a moderate
concession would injure American
interest and he believes the Unit
ed States owes it to Cuba to at
least start her on the road to pros
perty.
Apropos of the beet sugar ques-
tiOn there is a story going the
rounds in inner circles of a very
stormy Cabinet meeting at which
the President alleged to have told
his Secretary of Agriculture that
he was ''sick and tired" of having
his expression on the subject
"thrown in his face" Mr.. Will
son, l am told, expressed regret
at having given utterance to his
views and assured Mr.. Roosevelt
that nothing more would be heard
from him on the subject. He has
persis silently refused to appear be-
fore the Ways and Means Com
mittee, although it is well known
that he is adverse to any recipro-
cal treaty which will lower the
duty on beet sugar. OF course
the above incident has given rise
to renewed gossip in regard to
Cabinet changes but no change in
the Agricultural portfolio is con
templated at this time.
The question "f Chinese exclu
sion is still being considered by

Mermaids and Mermen.

The dugong, a species of whale found
abundantly in the waters of both the
great oceans, but especially off the coast
of Australia, in the Pacific. is believed
to have furnished the slender basis upon
which all mermaid and mermen stories
have been founded. Its general length
is from eight to twenty feet. 1t has a
head much resembling that of the hu-
man species and breathes by means of
lungs. 1t feeds upon submarine beds of
seaweeds. and when wounded makes a
noise like a mad bull Long hair in the
female species and hair and beard in the
male add to the human resemblance of
the head and neck. The flesh of this
species of whale is used for food, and is
said to have the flavor of bacon. mutton
or beef, according to the parts of the
body from which the meat is taken.

TREE PLANTING.

1t will soon be tree planting time
again, and we would like to offer a
e4ggestion about tree planting around
tne home lot. Please do not set the
trees out on regular lines, squares and
the like. The only trees set in rows
should be those bordering the street
and those in the orchard. The best
model for tree planting for home en-
bellishment is to be found in the native
forests or, rather, in the openings at
the edge of the timber-natural and
artistic combinations of forest tree,
shrub and vine, with an interval of
grass meadow between. Find some
pretty spot of this sort and study the
way nature has arranged the trees and
shrubs. Another thing, don't get the
trees too near the house. They seem
all right when young and do no harm,
but they soon grow, and then you see
the mistake you have made, and rare
ly can there be found a man with cour-
age enough to lay the ak to the root
of the handsome and thrifty tree which
he has himself planted. Nothing so
spoils the front yard or lawn as cou-
pie of evergreens set twenty feet dis
tant from the house. Evergreens are
all right, but they should grow alone
and be grouped with other deciduous
trees to give fine effect. In home
decoration more attention should be
given to the common woodland shrubs.
The common hawthorn tree, the
wild crab apple, the sumach, the elder
berry, the wild cherry and in vines the
Virginia creeper, the partridge berry
and woodbine should each have a
place Oh the home grounds.
