Matters That Will Come for Considera-
 tiop

Matters That Will Come for Considera- ton.
 Washington, March 23.-The oleomar-
 garine bill will receive the greater share of the attention of the senate dur ing the present week, but if there should be time when no one is prepar- ed to speak on 1t Senator Proctor who will have charge of it, will give way to the Chinese exclusion bill, which is in the hands of Senator Penrose. Senator Proctor will call the oleomRrgarine bill up after the expiration of the morning house tomorrow and will make a state melt Of the intent and purpose of the mill. It is probable that further con- sideration then will be postponed for day. Senator Proctor expresses the opinion that the final vote on the bill will not be long postponed and it is un- derstood that the members of the com mlttee on agriculture, who are opposed to the bill, will not contend for many days for debate. Senator Proctor al- .eady has presented to them the desir- ability of fixing time for vote, and WI lie many senators have made no opp position to this proposition Senator Bailey thus far has objected. The pres ent indications are that the bill will not be before the senate great length of time. Senator's Penrose, Mitchell and Fairbanks will be among those who will make speeches in support of the Chi nese bill, This measure will provoke no little controversy, The Indian appro- priation Gill probably will be reported from committee during the week and will receive early attention.

 There is an old town of East Texas nesting contentedly under the shadow of verdant hills whose tranquility is being disturbed by antiquarian and rel ic hunters of every description A spirit of unrest is abroad while strangers on missions of historic research are trying to revive the memories of a time buried with the shadowy past.

THERMOMETERS Thieves.

"If YOU want to keep thermometer
IN Guatemala you have to set a guard
over it," said a traveller who had Just
returned from a visit to Central Amer
lea. ITS a fact, assure you. Short
" before | started for home / made
trip from Port Barrios to Guatemala
City.
"The weather was broiling hot, and
when we got to Guatemala City,
which is about the largest town on the
road, | thought I'd see what the tenn
perature really was. So l strolled out
Of the hotel to locate Thermometer,
and after a long search found one
hanging on a porch of a residence. TO
my establishment it was surrounded by
a cage of wire netting, heavy enough
to hold a young bear 1t was cheap
thermometer. and such a precaution
seemed all the more remarkable be-
cause petty household pilfering is
practically unknown in that country.
Il found out during my stay that
the reason for this protection is that
the people suffer from torpid liyers,
and regard mercury as a specific. How
the belief became current, goodness
only knows" he went on, but it is
Universal all through the interior, and
if an outside thermometer is left un-
protected over night, it is morally GER
tain TO be broken and drained
"An English surgeon at Zacoba
told me that he had seen scores of ma
tives suffering from chronic rheuma-
tism, brought on by swallowing raw
mercury Inquirer.

The death of the Ameer of Afghanis-
tan brought out a food of anecdotes
concerning this contradictory mana
man at once so full of wisdom and
ignorance, of gentleness and savagery,
of humor and unrelenting vindictive-
ness.
A man was once condemned to have
his ears sliced off-a punishment re-
garded as rather mild. The culprit,
however. had a powerful friend who
went to the ameer and begged, as a
special favor, that he might be per-
mited to perform the delicate opera
ton.
The ameer consented. Thereupon
the friend asked him to indicate how
much Of each ear he wished removed
The monarch lightly touched the ears
Of the trembling victim.
Then the ingenious friend, not with
out trepidetion, proceeded to quote a
passage from the Koral, saying that
anything touched by the representa-
tive of tho Almighty became sacred.
This skilful trick amused the ameer
70 greatly that he forgave them both.

MODERN NECESSITIES.

(Which would you rather have, ="
said the young woman who asks alb
rupt questions, money or brains?'
"Wel." answered Senator Sorghum,
there used to be a time when We
were simple and unpretentious people.
when mere money would suffice to win
success. But now politicians have be-
come so wicked and alert that you've
got to keep your eyes open all the time
to spend your money so that it will do
you some good. Take my word for It,
you've got to have money and brains,
too. Washington Star

any difference to her.
The brave girl did not turn from
