WASHINGTON, Dec. az, 1000
The Democrats In Congress have
determined to give to the president
and his advisors free hand in deal
ing with the Venezuelan situation.
They say that they do not desire to
embarass the administration and, as
they are so much in the m inority,
it would. in any event, be inn
possible for them to force their
views on their opponents. At the
same time, there is strong under
current of feeling in the Capitol.
1t is believed that the President is
permitting his admiration for EN-
peror William and King Edward to
outweigh his loyalty to the Monroe
Doctrine and that Venezuela is the
sufferer. While Secretary Hay and
Senator Cullom say that the Monroe
Doctrine Twill not be violated, it is
claimed by several Democratic
statesmen that it is condition and
not a theory that confronts this
country and that the Doctrine was
violated by the sinking of the Vene-
zuelan battleships and the firing on
La Guayra. The tendency of the
Secretary of State to truckle to
Great Britain has long been re-
cognized and it is believed that his
advice to the President is anything
but sound.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The fool promises more than he can
perform.
Ones life toll teaches us to prize
life's treasures.
Give neither counsel nor salt until
you are asked for it.
No one is so blind to his own faults
as Il man who has the habit of detect
ing the faults of others.
Friends, though absent, are still pres
ent; though in poverty they are rich;
though weak yet in the enjoyment of
health; and what is still more difficult
to assert, though dead they are alive.
The profit of leisure lies in the COM
binatlon of interest and amusement, of
occupation which does not require too
much thought, and pleasure which
does not demand too much effort. phys
ical or mental.
Multitudes of us are fuming in a
false sense of poverty when close at
home are faithful hearts that, If taken
from us, as they might be next week
would leave void that the wealth of
Indies would not fill. We are poor
only by thinking ourselves so. 1t is,
in fact, our peryerse thinking that ev-
cry day makes fools of us.
All men need taskmasters. Fortunate
are they who know how to get the most
out of themselves by acting as their
own taskmasters. They plan each
day in advance, and do not toll hap
hazard Carefully estimating what
they can do, and should do, they hold
themselves vigorously to the tasks they
have fixed, and so avoid the necessity
of having overseers. And they are the
sort who rise to be the overseers of
others.

A Bureau of social Requirements.

An enterprising society woman has
opened an attractive office, which she
calls "a bureau OF social requirements"
and the novel venture has attracted
much attention among women. Here
are some of the helps" she offers her
patrons:
TO supply ideas and original designs
For entertainments.
TO superlntend entertainments on es-
tablished lines, relieving the hostess
of all weariness and anxiety.
To manage and order luncheons, teas,
receptions and other social affairs.
To supply menus or recipes.
TO give information on social matters
where any knotty point is vexing the
unlnitated.
10 keep the household accounts, do
the marketing, or supply a visiting or
resident housekeeper.
To give suggestions and help in mat
ters of dress, home decoration and
shopping.
TO plan and buy mourning for those
in sorrow.
To take charge of madame's visiting

Hindu Sword Marriages.

At the last general monthly meeting
of the Anthropological Society of Bonn
bay, u paper prepared by Mr.. Sarat
Chudner Mitter. of Berar, was read
by Mr.. Jivanji Jamshedji Nodi, show
ing how many different roles Il sword
plays in Hindu manners and customs.
There are certain Warlike tribes
among whom oaths taken over sword
are binding-while, taken otherwise,
they are not. A similar sentiment pre-.
walls among some predatory classes of
Europe, where oaths taken over the
weapons of offence-a dagger, a poin-
ard, rapier-are considered binding.
The idea with these classes seems to
be that perjury committed after taking
oaths over their weapons recoil, that
they die by the weapon against which
they perjure themselves.
In certain parts of India, when
a Hindu is about TO marry a third
wife = which marrying is considered
an Ill omen - he marries tree,
for obyiating the i'll omen, be-

Kathiawar there is still the custom for
Rajput Princes. who are much married.
to marry in person only the first wife,
and to marry other wives by means
of Il sword. They send over their
sword to the brides people; the bride
is married to it with all the required
pomp and splendor, the only difference
being that the Princes sword becomes
a substitute for him--the bridegroom.
The legality of this marriage TO
sword is indisputable. The bride mar

Care of Il Husbands Coat.

"Let coat get soaking wet" said
tailor, ''and it will dry more or less
out of shape unless proper care is
taken in hanging it up. To prevent
this, follow these simple directions:
Put the wet coat on an ordinary
hanger, and suspend where there will
be room all around, SO that the coat
will hang clear of everything. Then
button the coat up and get it into its
proper shape and hang; then stuff 1t
out in form with newspapers. The
newspaper is opened out, and pages or
double pages are crumbled up loosely
into great open, spongy masses, and
with these the buttoned up coat is
gently stuffed out into the form III
which it would be on the body. Then
give it, If necessary n final smoothing
to get it true and right everywhere,
and leave it to dry
when it is dry you will find the
coat in its proper original shape, free
from drawings or wrinklings, and
looking all right, and you are sur, not
to regret the little extra labor bestO we'd
in keeping 1t So"

Eccentric woman,s Hobby.

Lady Constance Mckenzie is one
Of the most arlstocratic women in Eng
land. She has won for herself quite
a reputation for eccentricity and is
adding to it day by day.
Her hobby is handling a pet snake,
ana everywhere she goes the snake
has to go with her.
OF course, the snake is very small
one, but still it is n snake, and as many
people have an aversion to reptiles,
no matter what their size. this fad of
Lady Constance's has aroused much
comment.
The reptile lodges in the bodice of
Lady Constance's dress, and the latter
plays with It on occasions as if it were
piece of jewelry. She feeds it upon
fish and insects, and says the reptile
is possessed of more intelligence than
many of her acquaintances.

Few men possess the talent for re.
membering faces such as that of the
late James G. Blame. Here is an iu-
stance which has not appeared in print
before
In the early ciXties he was travelling
in sleeping car through Canada.
Deep in the Canadian forest. the en-
gine broke down, and there was a de-
lay of several hours. A little girl of
five years was a fellow passenger. Mr..
Blaine made friends with the child.
and to pass the time of waiting pro-
posed that they should go in search
of spruce gum, They came back laden
with sticky spoils, which were shared
with their companions.
Fifteen years went by, and the child
had grown to be a college senior with
out again seeing Mr.. Blaine. One after
noon she heard him speak at large
public meeting, and at the close of
the address she made her way TO him.
She said simply:
Mr.. Blaine, l don't SUPPOSE yc' '"' q
remember me. / am Margaret Sar-
gent"
QIick as a fash came the answer,
emphasized with a hearty hand grasp:
Have you ever tasted any spruce
gum since that was as good as that
was?
OF course the recognition made that
girl his friend for life.-Youth's Com.

HOW to GROW oId GrncefnIIr.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton has
been writing on the subject of how TO
grow old easily, happily and gracefully.
She is now in her eighty fifth year,
and she says life to her is as sweet

no regrets or forebodings for herself;
all her sorrows are for the troubles of
others.
Il attribute my vigorous old age in

temperament, keen sense of humor,
sympathies for all my fellow beings,
and a deep interest in all the vital
questions of the hour.

characters do not possess the necessary
