The report OF the committee on reciproc-
ity favored reciprocal commercial relation.
with other countries; reciprocal CONNER
cial treaty with Canada; a repeal Of the
duty on hides and the appointment OF q
commission to study trade relations with
China.
This part Of the report was adopted, and
then the Recommendation Of the committee
that If any action is taken by Congress ex-
tending the Chinese exclusion law 1t should
be limited to the life Of existing trade trea-
ties, was taken up.
It was inferred that this recommenda-
tion was in favor Of Chinese immigration,
but the chairman of the committee. Mr.
framed so as not to embarrass the admin
istration when 1t came to frame a trade
treaty.
Another member said that it was the pur-
pose to make the exclusion question part
of the whole trade relations Of the two
countries, as, another member said. II an
exclusion act was passed 1t would be like
hitting the Chinese. in the head one day
and asking favor Of him the next day.
The resolution was adopted.
Another resolution from the same report
related to the Cuban tariff, and recon-
mended to Congress the speedy adoption

at the same time have due regard to the
rights of the citizens Of the United states.
Mr. Thurber said that In the discussion.
rela tive to q Cuban resolution, a member
of the committee had said that II the
United States did nothing the island would
be the more speedily forced to unite with
this country. He believed that the United
States in honor could not favor annexa-
ton. and in addition, In his opinion. 1t was
not to the advantage Of this country to an

a member Of the committee said the
committee recognized that the United
States had certain duties ana obligations
toward Cuba, and wished those to be OBJ
one Of the delegates said he did not be-
Ifeye the obligations of this country toward
Cuba should lead to injury the fruit pro-
ducing and sugar interests Of this country.
The resolution was then adopted and the
board adjourned for luncheon.

Postal Matters Once More.

The committee on postal affairs at this
juncture submitted resolution to the effect
that IN the opinion Of the board the oppor-
tune time had arrived for the adoption Of
one-cent letter postage. A resolution was
offered to adopt the report and instruct
the committee to urge this matter upon the
attention Of Congress.
Exception was taken. however, to the Ian
guage used In the resolution, which states:
your committee do not think they draw
1t too strongly when they say that the
masses have been deliberately and out
rageously robbed"

Freaks of Memory.

A smart young cavalry officer was
recently exercising his regiment upon
the drill ground when the familiar
words of command suddenly slipped
from his mind and the strenuous eff
fort to recall them was utterly futile
In order to cover his embarrassment
he was compelled to retire from com
mand under the plea of illness. The
fugitive sentence came to his mind
when he reached his rooms. Another
interesting example is that of a pop
ular novelist who had nearly finished
an important work upon which he was
engaged, when a sudden failure of
memory deprived him of his plot and
necessitated the laying aside of the
book for more than a week then an
association of ideas recalled the miss
ing plot and the novel was brought
to issue and enjoyed a wide circula-
ton.

FRIGHT Restored the Use of His Leqs.

Fright Restored the Use of His Legs.
Fright is said to have restored the
full use of his legs to Cornelius West
ervelt, driver for Fire Battalion Chief
Hugh Hague of Jersey City.
Westervelt was badly injured ten
years ago by ladder falling on him
at a fire. Both legs were crippled,
and he was given the position of
driver, as it called for less activity.
At the fire Saturday at the National
Storage docks, at Black Tom Island,
Westervelt, Notwithstanding his dis
ability, helped man the hose and was
in dangerous position when one
of the walls was seen to totter.
Chiefs Conroy and Hague both saw
the peril of the man and they started
to assist him, fearing that he would
be unable to save himself To their
establishment Westervelt, who had re-
allied his danger, started off on a run.
Since Saturday Westervelt says his
legs appear 10 have gained all their
former usefulness, and he is an agile
as he ever was.
DR.. Leckner, surgeon of the fire de-
partment, says it was the fright occa-
stoned by his peril ina. restored to
Westervelt the full use of his legs.
The doctor says, in his opinion, some
OF the muscles of the legs had been
contracted and the sudden fright
caused them to relax and restored
to them their proper lunctions.-NeW

SHE CRIED WHEN SHE PUT HER

This is what Miss Jessie Stephen
son of 30 Harrington Road, Aberdeen,
says when writing to the Proprietors

rheumatism to use st. Jacobs Oil"
Miss Stephenson's present condi-
ton is very great contrast to what
it was before she used St. Jacobs Oil;
then she was practically helpless, suf
fered the greatest agony-but now she
is free from pain, and able to do heI
work. Surely such evidence as this

Flower of the Sea.

From shell-strewn sand to rlppied pur-
pie pool
From the dawn TO twilight hour,
The sea spreads out its petals wide and
cool,
Like a morning glory flower;
Emerald, OPAL amethyst and blue
In its nectary-cup it holds,
Till it yields each lovely hue to the
darkness and the dew.
And the great sea blossom folds.
Then wrought with silver, and trimmed
in rainbow pearl
A porphyry goblet lies.
Where the dazzling waters scintillate
and whirl
To the glow of the lustrous skies;
For budding splendors in its deep heart
hide,
And the full-blown glory breaks,
When radiant petals wide unfurl at
morning tide,
And the great sea blossom wakes.

A Virginia farmer tells a story
which seems to indicate that turkeys
are not as sepseless creatures as they
appear to be. "One night recently"
he says, myself and my wife were
out driving. AS I was putting up the
horse after returning hime I noticed
my turkeys were not roosting as usual
in the big buttonwood tree by the
barn. Instead they were perched on
the fence posts and in the limbs of
other trees.
1T struck me as mighty funny, as
turkeys on the place had roasted in

SOME OLD MARRIAGE CUSTOMS
Peculiar Ceremonies Still Exist ir
Parts of Europe.


Parts of Europe.
In Switzerland the bride, on he1
wedding day, will permit no one. moi
even her parents, to kiss her upon the
lips. In many of the provinces the
cook pours hot water over the thresh
old after the bridal couple have gone
in order to keep it warm for another
bride. A favorite wedding day in
Scotland is Dec. 81, so that the young
couple can leave their old life with the
old year and begin their married life
with the new one. Surely a pretty
idea. The Italians permit no wed
ing gifts that are sharp or pointed,
from which practice emanates our su.
perstition that the gift of knife sew
ers friendship. One of the most beau
tiful OF all marriage customs is that
of the bride, Immediately after the
ceremony, tinging her boquet among
her maiden friends. She who catches

of a negro baby has any white blood
in his veins, the child at birth will be
