Spacious But Unconvincino.

A characteristic incident of Lord
Salisbury's attitude toward temper
ance is related by a correspondent.
One of the clergy in the neighborhood
of Hatfield, who was an enthusiastic
advocate of local veto. one day tried
to awake his noble neighbor to the
grave Importance of the liquor ques-
ton. Lord Salisbury listened with his
usual courtesy, but the clergyman felt
that he had made no impression.
Your lordship," he argued would
at least admit that an undue multiple
cation of publie-houses in place is an
inducement to excessive drinking"
Really" said Lord Salisbury. IT am
extremely sorry to appear so unsym-
pathetic. but cannot admit even that.
In this e-HatfieId-there are 40
bedrooms. but l never feel more in
clined to go to sleep here than any
where else."-London Daily News.

A TRYING PUZZLE.

What is the difference between a
tea and reception? This is not a
conundrum, but a question that is
puzzling a number of Minneapolis
women. If a tea is a reception, is a
reception also tea? 1t sounds as
bewildering as any catch phrase, but
unlike most of the latter it must have
sensible answer somewhere.
Il have several times attended two
affairs in the same afternoon, one
called, by the hostess. VINO surely
ought to know, a tea, and the other
was dubbed a reception by the woman
who gave it. The only difference
could discover was in the name.7 said
woman who was willing to let others
know that she was not an animated
compendium of correct society"
Why do some people always call
them tea" and others prefer the
word reception" Is there any diff
ference?
"A tea" defined a second voice, "is
an informal affair at which any num-
Der Of women may be entertained at
the smallest amount of expense"
And a reception is a function at
which the largest number of people
may be received. also, at the minimum
expense" laughed a third. IT'S
where you have anything to eat, from
wafer and a cup of tea to a regular
luncheon menu, commencing with
bouillon and ending with coffee"
But thought tea and waters were
served only at a tea objected the
interlocutor.
That is popular fallacy," agreed
the one who knew everything. But
have more than once found tea and
waters Haunting themselves at affairs
called by the women who gave them
receptions. 1t all depended on
whether the hostess owned a Russian
samovar. If she did, she could not
withstand the temptation to put it at
one end of the table with her nost

Luscious looking plums in clusters

There is a pronounced fancy for
large white spots on dark blue or

forms very smart trimming. II is
curious to note, too, that taffeta has
taken new lease of life. There is
also a mixture of taffeta and velvet
one is smart and the other becoming.

there have come into fashion lately

Armathwaite, who feared his inter

of his conditional promise to try to
extort from him more thoroughgoing
adhesion to her pet plan, now for the
second time prepared to take leave,
and succeeded in getting halfway
down the corridor when Lord Kildonan

the doctor had expected and feared.

1T would seem to me-" remarked
the interlocutor, with wrinkled fore
head, that your friends would like
every party to be either a buffet
luncheon or an informal dinner"
"They would, indeed" was the
prompt response. ut is rather anus
ing that there were not half dozen
receptions given all last year in Min
neapolis, but nearly every woman who
received dubbed her affair a tea. As
one of them said to me: You don't
have to do anything in the way of
decoration or refreshments at tea,
and you can dispense with music en-
tirely. In fact, you can give tea for
half what a reception will Cost and
entertain the same number of friends"
Guests, you mean" interrupted
the third voice. Zone cannot have
200 friends, and one seldom invites
less to a reception"
But have always thdlght that the
name was question of hours and not
of food or expense" said fourth
voice, joining in the discussion. "a
tea can be given only from 4 until
are definitely stated as from until
or chocolate from 10 to II. The tea
is a native of England and no Eng
lishwoman would think of announcing
it to begin at 2 o'clock and dwadle
all through the afternoon. recep-
ton may include tea or a coffee or
a chocolate if it commences early
enough and lasts long enough for it
may be given at any hour in the morn
ing, afternoon or evening But a tea
is confined to the two hours preceding
6 o'clock, by the woman who really
understands the little distinctions of
entertainments"
Il believe you are right in theory,
but in practice you will find that
Minneapolis women grade their enter
tanments as the tea, the informal tea,
the informal reception, reception and
formal reception with the accessories
to match and they give any one of
them at any hour they please"
Then they are wrong" and the
fourth voice never lost its emphasis.
"And you would sooner be right
than be-Mrs. President" misquoted
somebody.
Il would indeed" the answer was
unhesitating. ga woman cannot af-
ford to make social mistakes. y
Then a tea is always a reception
but reception only occasionally be-
comes tea to the woman who is cor
rect?"

Washington, Dec, 9.-The senate
grafton bill and adopted a number of
amendments. An amendment offered
by Mr.. Burton of Kansas to admit
Chinese laborers to Hawaii met with
considerable opposition and finally
was laid on the table. The provision
in the bill prohibiting the sale of liquor
N the capitol building caused some
criticism of the house for putting it in
the bill, but was not stricken out At
the instance of Mr.. Penrose the SEN
ate agreed to substitute for the
twenty-frst section of the bill, extend
ing to two years the time for the de-
portat,on of aliens who become a pub
lie charge. The section as amended
specifies lunacy, idiocy and epilepsy
and says that aliens afflicted with
either trouble shall be presumed to
have been so affected prior to landing
in the United States and shall be de-
ported at the expense of the transport
tation companies bringing them in.
Washington, Dec. 9.-The gigantic
lobby representing steamboat and rail-
road interests which has been over
running the capital since congress re-
sumed business gained a decisive vic
tory by securing the defeat of the Lon
don dock bill by vote of 1873 to 129
on motion to strike out the enact
ing clause made by Representative
Sherman of New York The with
drawal of the support of the lumber
and meat packing interests, which
originally had Joined with the flour
milling interest in pressing the meas
ure, brought about its defeat The
flour milling interests of the country
were practically unanimous in de-
mand.ng its passage. Other shippers
of foodstuffs joined in petitions to
congress to enact the measure into
law. They claimed that the exactions
of the steamship lines in forcing
them TO sign contracts which COM
PEELED them to pay for the unloading
OF their freight in London were not
only a violation of English law. but a
form of extortion that ought to be pro-
hibited by congressional enactment.
Under the English law the London
docks are supposed to be free Steam
ship and railway companies, however,
before accepting freight billed to Lon
don require shippers to sign a contract
which imposes on them a dock charge
in the form of compelling payment
for the work of unloading.

sented the committee report giving
reasons for recommending the Joint

FEDERAL LAW MAKERS.

Washington, Dec. S.-Senator Mel
son of Minnesota introduced in the
senate joint resolution for an
amendment TO the cons titution so as
to give congress the power to control
trusts. He also offered a bill to
amend the Sherman antitrust law by
more stringent provisions. The pro
vision for an amendment to the con
stltution was as follows: Congress
shall have power to define, regulate,
prohibit or dissolve trusts, monopolies
or combinations, whether existing in
the form of a corporation or other
wise; congress shall also have power
to license, regulate and control all cor
porations engs ged in trade, commerce
or other business among the several
states or with foreign nations"
The senate adopted all the com
mittee amendments to the immigra-
ton bill with the exception of one
prescribing an educational test and
also the action of the committee in
striking out section SO prohibiting the
sale of intoxicants within the capitol
building, and then laid ASIDE the bill
to pass number of Objectionable
pension bills.
In the hearing today before the
senate committee on immigration on
the bill to regulate immigration, Good
win Brown of the New York state
lunacy commission said that in the
state insane hospitals of New York
there are $4,000 inmates, and they
are increasing at the rate of about
700 year One-half, he declared, are
foreign born, and should not have
been permitted to land. He offered
an amendment to the bill extending
the time to two years for deporting
an alien who has tecome a public
charge. Mr.. Brown said that in the
course of ten years the foreign born
insane in this country will cost the
United States $50 100000. Com
missioner General of immigration Sar-
gent urged the retention of the pro-
vision for SO head tax. Com,
missioner of immigration Williams of
New York suggested conference of
immigration commissioners to draw
There was much perjury at Ellis
island, Mr.. Williams stated, par
ticularly with respect to diseased i'm
migrants, and a term of Imprisonment
should be fixed in cases of that kind
He was emphatic in favorins the sale
of liquors at immigrant stations.
Aue house paid remarkable
tribute to the memory of ex-Speaker
Thomas B. Reed. For the house to

of Benton, Blaine, and Alexander
Stephens, when the house adopted
resolutions and adjourned out of re-
spect to their memories. 1t was de-
cided to follow these presidents in
the case of Mr.. Reed. No business
was transacted

Of the house proceedings was a
speech by the venerable Mr.. Galusha
A. Grow of Pennsylvania on the rela-
tons between capital and labor. At
the end of the present session he re-
tres at the age OF 70, after a career in
public life extending over half cen
tury. His first speech in the house
Was on mans right to the soil" He
was the author of the free homestead
act. His speech today was regarded
as his valedictory to public life. His
conclusion was that some sort of CO.
operation between labor and capital
was the only solution of the impending
problem.

sweetest and mellowest Of all the wind
instruments. In Beethoven's time II
was little else than the Cid hunting
horn, which, for the convenience Of the
mounted hunter, was arranged in spiral
convolutions, to be slipped over the
head and carried resting on one shout

Germans still call it the waldhorn-
that is, forest horn"
