THIS WEEK
Isthmian Canal Bill Before House
on Special Order.
THE DEBATE UPSET.
The Offer to Sell the Panama Route
May Widen the Discussion and
Cause Delayed Action-Senate
No Set Programme.

Washington, Jan. 6.-After a recess
Of almost three weeks both houses of
congress reconvened today. The prin-
cipal item on the house program for
the week is the Hepburn isthmian ca
nal bill, which is the special order for
tomorrow. No time has been fixed for
the debate on the measure but Mr.
Hepburn does not contemplate a pro-
ionged discussion of it. It is surmised
In some quarters, however, that if the
proposition Of the Panama Canal COM
pany to sell its property and fran
chtses for $40 100000 is made, as prom
ised, this may have the effect of OPEN
ing wider field of discussion than
at first seemed probable, and if this
should prove to be the case the bill
may be before the house for longer
time than is now contemplated.
1t is expected that by the time the
canal bill is disposed of there will be
one or more appropriation bills ready
for consideration by the house. None
of the appropriation bills has yet been
passed on by the appropriations COM
mlttee, but both the urgent deficiency
bill, the pension bills are a forward
state and the expectation is that they
will be considered by the committee
during the current week. The pres
ent intention is to give first atten-
ton to the deficiency bill, whose es-
Inmates aggregate 100000 900.
The senate has no program for the
week and very little business on it's
calender. as the reorganization of the
senate committees did not take place
until just before the holidays There
are. however, fed bridge bills re-
ported and Senator Morgan's hills for
the acquisition OF right of way for the
Nicaragua canal is among the meas
ures to receive attention.
On account of Senator Sewell's death
the senate will probably adjourn until
the following Monday.

King Edwards Memory.

The king is said never to forget a name or face. Queen Victoria made it point in his education that the de- selopment of memory be carefully considered feature. Many persons have been surprised at the kings re- membering and singling them out for recognition in the presence of throng of people. They tell story in Rome of the king having noticed in cafe there, while travelling incognito. a restaurant proprietor who had att tended him elsewhere. The man, all unconscious of the identity of his pa- tron. so the story runs, slapped the prince, as he then was, upon the. back, exclaiming delightedly: "Bless you sir; you're the only man that's put
 foot in this place who remembers my being at Ostend!"-St. James Gazette.

A FOUNDRY SCHOOL PROPOSED
rInn to Bring Up T Knee of Men Skilled in the Work, Who
 Are Now rsare.


 Tn recent paper read by Thomas D. West before the Pittsburg FOur- drymen's association tho author said: 'sThe art of founding+ is suffer ing keenly from the antipathy of boys to learning the trade and the degeneration of skill. due largely te, ihe same forces that arc effective il. other callings. To ass;s; in remedy iEg these evils foundry trade school has been proposed. It is intended that this trade school shall accept among others boys having graduated from the public grammar or high school who would bind themselves for three years and half as apprer- -tices to learn the foundry trade in all it's branches.
 ''The policy of keenil T a student on one job after he has learned tr do it well, so as to make the most money out of his labor, as in general practice, would not be allowed. as such a policy would be detrimental to the aims ard interests of the school. Such a trade school" contin-. ued Mir. West. according to the Phil adelphia Farnr6.. should make much better meclaEics than is possible un- der present conditions and even with the best opportunities in outside shops would give our country better worlanen in three and aa. half years than a six or seven years apprentice ship under present conditions.'

SEALS DID NOT FEAR MEN.
nd Their Trust Was Repaid by the Slaughter of Several of Thir
 Number.

Hundreds of seals made Nelson is- land, in the South Shetland group, look black as night as we approached. They. disported themselves in the wa ter and played upon the shore. In wonder, not alarm, they stared at us as we drew near in a small boat. We 1eaped on shore among them. Still they looked at us in dumb curiosity. was as much impressed as were the seals and stared as hard at them in an answering wonder.
 Come, old fellow,'' said Sobral, ap- preaching one of the largest seals with outstretched hand. It edged away few feet. Move on, then, ,. he said, smacking it on the back with his open hand. It edged a little farther away. looking over his shoul- der with an injured air. But it made no attempt to seek safety. A mere plunge into the water would have brought freedom from any danger.
 Several leopard seals were shot by our party, says writer in the In dependent, and their fellows gath cred around them. wondering why they lay so motionless, and staring at us. with wide, pathetic eyes

The study of Man IT Asia.

Prof. c. Frederick Wright, who re gently made trip across Asia foI scientific study, says one Of the sur prises of Siberia is it's abundance of public museums in which special at tention is devoted to anthropology. Since Asia has been regarded by many as the original cradle of man. kind, this preference for anthropo- logical study is particularly interest ing. Prof. Wright mentions dozen cities of Asiatic Russia, including Vladivostok, Irkutsk, Minusinsk, Tomsk, TashIxend and Tihis, which contain excellent museums, and he gays there is scarcely town of 10,- 900 inha bitants in all Siberia which is not thus provided with an educa- tional factor, bearing particularly on the study of the human race, which may well provoke our emulation Youths Companion.

EDUCATING sEA-LIoNS.
It Is Not Unattended with Danger fo the Teacher. as Is Commonly
 Supposed.

\ half-dozen slippery, shapcless seals and sea lions foundering abous on the stage, croaking and barking - do not seem in the least dangerous or formidable. but there is hardly anything more painful and serious than the bite of one of these euri- ous beasts. Mr. Charles Judge, who has trained them for years and has a company of them in the Hagen beck show, is badly scared from the attacks of these peculiar half 7o.l animals, half fish, reports
 Weekly. The bite of the Sc
 poisonous; besides, it is wound from the manner in It is inflicted. Although the ure moves painfully and slowly c-. land. the motion of it's head and neck is extremely quick. The neck seems to have an almost elastic quality. One is surprised at it's reach. The sea lion is like bulldog. When he has caught hold he does not let go at once, but sets his teeth firmly in the flesh. Then he twists his head, the teeth being still embedded in the flesh; and without relinquishing his grip he gives a quick jerk. The re- suit is to pull out a ragged piece of flesh, if the animal has gotten q deep hold

Many skulls in n Crypt.

In the crypt of St. Leonarad's church at Hythe, England, are 1000 skulls. The remains have been the sub ject of much discussion by scientists. They were once declared to be the bones of Danish invaders; now the bal ance of opinion assumes that they are the outcome of battle fought be. tween Mortimer, prince of the Brit ons, and the invading Sa1ons about A. D. 456. Many of the skulls bear the marks of the battle-ax. On table on one side of the crypt are placed two skulls. which are declared to be typ ical Saxon and British, one being long and narrow. the other short and broad. The custodian points out in another part of the crypt what he contemptu- ously describes as .'common church. yard skull ."-C Chicago Chronicie.

Rrend stealing in HerIin.

One of the Berlin courts was oc- cupied recently with the question whether a starving man was capable of consuming large loaf of bread. value eight pence, at one meal. If man proved to be starving steals bread it is not considered a theft, according to the German law, but is punished lightly. Tn this instance the loaf was considered too large for one person to consume, but on the workman, who stole it from a balzer's shop, proving that he shared 1t with q starving friend. he was nc quilted of theft.--N.

HER FRENCH MISUNDERSTOOD
The Tragedy of Hacking Bottlein the Latin Quarter of the
 French Capital.

She was spending her first month in the Latin quarter of Paris. Gfe spoke English fuently, with Boston accent; also she spoke German, could make . fair stagger at Italian and knew a few words of Hindoostanee- but of French not syllable, relates the New York Tribune.
 One morning she found herself in wrestling match with a bottle of French shoe backing. The pesky bot- tie, understanding that it had to deal with an alien, refused to give up it's cork She had no corkscrew of her own and did not know how to ask for one. even if she dared suspect that her next-door neighbor might be possessed of the luxury. The tine of her pet fork she had be on the ob- stinate plug. the point ,f her best penknife she had broken off short, and nothing remained except to throw the bottle out of a window to get at it's contents. She decideds. as a last resort, to try breaking the neck off the bottle. With q s'stove lid lifter'' she administered several cautious taps in the region of the jugular of the obstinate neck. Moth in doin'." Then she tapped harder still, and the backing came. All over her fingers it came, all over her light woo1en skirt, and over much of the floor and window sill
 She decided to have tn skirt cleaned, and. packing it into bundle, tripped off to an establishment where she found embarras sment because she could not understand questions. Fin- ally she got the drift of the conversa- tion. The cleaners wanted to know what had caused the spot. Fortunate ly. bottle of shoe blacking was standing near by, and she pointed at this and "ouid" and "ouid" until she left in heightened spirits, feeling that she had made the cleaners un- derstand. When the skirt was duly returned the following week it vas dyed black.

Curious Royal Custonx.

When any Spanish sovereign dies the body is at once submitted to the proc ess of fossilization, nor can it be placed In the royal pantheon until the body. has been absolutely turned into stone. Cautiously enough. the period required for fossilization varies considerably. So1he royal bodies have become solidi- fled in very shortperiod, while others have taken years before the fossiliza- tion took. place. It took exactly I3 years to convert the body of the father of the present young king of SpaiI Into stone. Chicago Chronicle.

EVERYTHING UNDER ONE ROOF
surprisdng Discovery of a Man from Up the State in New York
 Hotel.

q never appreciated the complete ness of your big hotcls," said the traveller from up the state, relates the New York Sun, s'so much as this trip.
 "I got in about seven one night and went to one of them. I had to get into my evening clothes in a hurry and hustle to keep an appointment.
 "I'd just begun to get ready when [ discovered that I couldn't open my trunk. Something was wrong with tho lock and I thought was up against it. for fair.
 On general principles, I hit the button for a bellboy and told my troubles.
 .'Is that all?' he says. I'll send the locksmith up in a minute.
 Do you keep locksmith on all the time?' asked.
 ''Sure.' he says.
 'sIn about five minutes man float ed in with an outfit that would have opened a burglar-proof vault. He had the trunk open while was taking off my coat and vest.
 But that wasn't all. He had to take the lock off, so said: ' 'Where1l I send this to now so's I can get new lock on in a hurry to- morrowY
 ..'Send it out!' he says. You don't need to. I'm only the night lock. smith. and 1 hayen;t got all the tools handy. put If you'll send for the day iocksmith in the morning he'll put D new lock on 1t for you in a few min ntes.'
 And he did. Maybe that's nothing new for you New Workers, but to q man from a crossroads village like Rochester. 1t seemed about the limit on having everything under one roof.''
