GOVERNMENT DEFEAT ON TARIFF.
COMPROMISE AMENDMENT PASSED By REIcHsTAG
COMMITTEE.

Berlin, Feb. 26.-The discussion by the Reichstag
committee Of the corn duties to be provided for
in the new Tariff bill grows more and more en-
Uttered Count Won Schwerin-Loewitz. Conserve
tive in supporting the compromise amendment to-
dav declared that threats OF a dissolution OF the
Reichstag had no for the Conservatives. If
the government declined TO meet the Right the
latter would refuse 10 recognize their obligation to
conclude commercial treaties. The government
was acting in antagOnism to the majority OF the
Reichstag and of the Diets, and, therefore, the
ministers were responsible for the consequences.
The Minister of Commerce, Herr Moeller, in
reply appealed TO the committee to trust in the
government at this highly critical moment. The
government was the best judge of what it was
possible to achieve. Its attitude was not based
fear of the foreigner. but on recognition of the
necessity for maintaining the national export
trade. Any failure to reach an understanding
would harm agriculture immensely.
The Tariff Committee subsequently, In spite OF
strenuous government opposition, adopted the COM
promise amendment by a vote Of IA TO 10.
The compromise amendment referred to above

Surprise Party.

Last Saturday evening, at the home
Of Mrs. x. r. Foreman in the Dexter
terrace, there was held one Of the most
enjoyable parties OF the season. About
GO of the ladies OF the Women OF Wood
craft aud their husbands met at the
homo Of one OF the members and pro-
ceeded to the terrace. Mrs. Foreman
WAS taken completely by surprise and
could hardly understand the meaning OF
the sudden coming OF such crowd.
The guests furnished their own amuse-
ment and several games such as cards
crokinole, carom. etc, were played dur
ing the evening. OF course the ladies
furnished their own refreshments (they
always do upon such occasions) and they
we're indeed most excellent.
Mrs. Foreman was presented with a
handsome rocker-the gift Of the lodge
in which she has been an earnest work
er--as token of the appreciation OF the
members for her and her labors in be-
half OF the success Of the order
Everyone present on the occasion en-

A Short Tale.

We know business is not quite so good
at this time of the year as ordinarily
during the other mouths, but by doing a
little pushing we have made our furni-
ture stock lock sick the past week. We
have done this by pushing and by en-
deavoring to draw the attention OF care
full buyers to things that others have
not.
Take, for instance, those colonial rock
ers which we are showing. They are
what they are called-real colonial style.
We used to think when what is known
as the dull season came around we
should sit still until the busy season
arrived. We are making the entire
year busy season. We want those
people who want something just little
different from what is found elsewhere
to call around. We won't charge any
thing for showing you our new goods.
We have some bargains in plain goods.
Remember we can sell as cheap as others
and with class OF goods handled only
by US.

And il it is a fact that Lord
Pauncefote did invite the ambassa-
dors of other powers to unite to
discuss the possibility Of interven>
ing, either by moral or physical
force in 1898, when we were about

why should not we ask the British
government for his recall, as sug>
gested by Congressman Wheeler
Here all of US. possibly with the
exception Of Mr.. Hay, who doubt
less was apprised Of the British
minister's position, believed that if
any nation was friendly it was the
British. Yet right in our capital,
through its own ambassador, was
plotting to our undoing. The force
OF Mr.. Wheeler's Americanism has
aroused genuine feeling OF inquiry
to know whence are we drifting.
Such old gabblers as Grosvenor
and Boutell may appear as if they
have answered Wheeler's structures,
they know even better than others
that what he said of f1unkeyism
and un-Americansm which now
obtains in national affairs, is more

AraEo's NIodesty,

Arago, the great French scientist,
was never seen with a decoration. on
his breast. He valued hOnOrs slightly.
One evening Leverrier, the astronomer,
called on him ON his way to dine with
q minister. He expressed a wish to
appear decorated with an order, to
which he was entitled, having received
the Official notice of the honor. al
though he had not as yet the decora-
ton itself
"Open that drawer" said Arago,
"and take whatever you want"
In that drawer were all the crosses
and ribbons which kings and emperors
confer.
While Arago wished above every
thing to prCmulgate science and to
make his researches useful, he did not
attempt to identify himself forever
with his discoveries by writing books.
He had no time for writing, but con-
tented himself with noting the results
of his work in the record of the bureau
of longitude or announcing it verbally
to the academy.

much to quiet suspicion. Perhaps no
one besides Major Wright knew Just
how deeply the firm was involved.
And now what did this note mean?
Glider had evidently contracted to de-
liver 500 shares of G. n. and r. when
the furry over this stock was on, and
he had found on arriving at the ex-
change that a corner was being form
ed. He had gone from broker to bro
ker, offering any price to save his
credit, and then he had remembered
Wright, who had &c. n. and r. stock
to burn"-yes, that was the very ex-
preston Glider probably used. But it
was not the thought Of this which
caused Major Wright to chuclzle de-

note:

further assistance in tiding the situation do
I not hesitate to call on yours truly,

That afternoon the Glider brougham
drew up before Major Wright's home,
and a few moments later Mrs. Ber-
/ tram Wright. greatly surprised, but
! perfectly self possessed, was receiv-
ing from three handsomely gowned
women a well bred welcome on her
return to America. The very next
morning the pOstman left two oblong
creamy envelopes. One was addressed
to the major. the other to Mr.. and Mrs
Bertram Wright.
And if the pretty bride ever found

mund A. Glider on the occasion of tina
memorable call she was too wise a wo
man to whisper it even to her dotin:

A Uoneer,, Preacher

Rev. Mr.. Hagamore, +" v''')cc men,
Ory is a slab in the church at CatshOge,
Leicestershire, England, was "a little
queer" 1t seems that the reverend
gentleman died in January, 1886. leav-
ing all of his property, valued at So
500, to a railroad porter.
This queer old preacher kept one
servant of each sex, whom he locked
up every night. His last employment
of an evening was to go the rounds of
his premises. let loose the dogs and
fire off his gun. He lost his life in a
curious manner. Starting out to let out
his servants, the dogs fawned upon
him and threw him into a pond of wa
ter. The servants heard his cries, but
being locked up could not render as
sistance, so the old man was drowned.
When the inventory of his property
was taken. he was found to be the
owner of so gowns. 100 pairs of trou-
sers, 100 pairs of boots, 400 pairs of
shoes, 80 wigs although he had plenty

One Cause of BIackheads.

Blackheads are often largely due to
poorness of blood. For this reason
an@mic people are generally troubled
with them. and in their case the gen.
eral health must be improved before
cure can be effected. Constipation also
tends to produce pimples and black
heads. People who suffer from these
should eat largely of fruit, both ripe
and stewed. and avoid starchy food,
such as potatoes and bread. This sim,
pie emollient will soften the skin with
out making it greasy and is excellent
for wiping over ones face after BIZ
cycle ride or, if used warm, after be-
ing out in a keen wind: Take three
parts milk and one part cucumber
juice, heat almost to boiling and skim
before using This does not keep long,
so it is useless to make a large guam
| tity at time.

RYE BREAD AND COFFEE.
This Is the Staple Food of Working
men In Germany.


men In Germany.
The workingman in Germany must
hive coffee, and plenty of it, and a lit
tie meat. Butter is practically un-
known to him, lard being used in its
stead. He rarely uses milk, eggs or
white -four, and he never thinks of
buying any of the better cuts of meat.
Canned goods, familiar to every Amer
lean worker, are absolutely unknown
to him.
His staple food ID rye bread which
he buys in enormous lOaveS. His wife
or his little girl goes to market for this
bread and brings it home clasped in
her arms unwrapped. l have seen a
little tot of a towheaded girl stagger-
ing homeward with n loaf almost as
big as she was, and as she walked she
| gnawed Justify at the tlinty end of the
loaf. Indeed l have heard it said that
the eating of this hard crusted bread
gives the German workman teeth of
unequaled excellence.
And this bread is good, thoroughly
good. The government, which super
vises everything and everybody, guards
the rye bread of the people with jeal
Gus care The bakers are watched
compelled to give full weight and make
good bread. l have eaten it in mum
Der of different towns, and it was al
ways sweet to the taste and whole
some. This bread is fairly cheap, cost
ing usually from 30 to 80 pfennigs
to 10 cents a loaf, though it, too, ha
risen in price with increased demand.
Upon this great loaf the German EN-
pire may be said to rest. All German,
has grown up on it. In one form it i

for a considerable time though he ha

HuInnn Trnits In birds.

The human traits in birds are many,
as most sympathetic naturalists have
testified. Mr.. Burroughs has told us
that there are jealousies and rivalries
among the little winged folk and that
the peace of families is often disturbed
by outside firts and lady killers Quot
ing this statement in The Dial. an
other observer gives us to understand
that the errant bird husband is duly
punished. 81 have myself" he says,
''seen an English hen sparrow holding
a cock by the topknot and dangle him
clear off his feet. while her friends
punished him with violent peckings."
