The Doctor Knew Best.

A Pennsylvania farmer named Hans
was subject to some kind of fits which
rendered him totally unconscious for
hours at q time and on several occa-
sions convinced his good wife that she
was a widow. 1t was pretty generally
known that she was by. no means
averse to the widowed state, for she
and the doughty Hans did not live in
peace and amity.
One day Hans was stricken as usual
The good wife applied the usual rene
dies, but this time they failed to revive
the unconscious man. A doctor was
called, and after a thorough examina-
ton he shook his head and said SOL
EMMY:
'EDot ISIS zu bed. Hiss ISIS todt (dead)."
The widow pretended to be overcome
with grief, and, leaning over the pros
trate form of her husband she walled:
ooh, mein Hans ISIS todt! Mein Hans
iss todtv'
But Hans, reviving suddenly, e.
claimed:
"Nein, nein! Ich ben nit todtr'
Hans said his wife reprovingly,
'lie still. Der doctor knows best

The question as to why all foam is
white is not an easy one to under
stand, but the fact is that foam is al
ways white, whatever may be the color
of the beverage itself. The froth pro-
duced on bottle of the blacklist ink
is white and would be perfectly so
were it not tinged to a certain extent
by particles of the liquid which the
bubbles hold in mechanical suspension.
AS to the cause of this whiteness. it is
sufficient to say that it is due to the
large number of rejecting surfaces
formed by the foam, for it is these sur
faces which, by rejecting the light,
produce upon our eyes the impression
Of white.
If we remember that all bodies owe
their colors to the rays of light, which
they cannot absorb, and all bodies
which reflect all the light they receive,
without absorbing any, appear perfect
IL white, we shall be prepared to under
stand how the multitude of rejecting
surfaces formed by the foam, and
which do not absorb any light, must
necessarily give the froth white ap-
pearance. II is for the same reason
that any very fine powder appears
white, even the blacklist marble, when
ground to dust, losing every trace of it's
original color.

Singing Cattle to Sleep.

A curious instance of the power OF
music comes from the western ranches,
where the cowboys have learned that
they can sing cattle to sleep. At bed
ding time'' a rider will ride to the
front Of a herd, stop it, and then he will
ride rapidly around and around it till
the cattle are herded close together.
He usually sings or whistles while he
is doing this, and presently one of the
herd lies down, to be followed in quick
succession by the others, till in ten
minutes herd of 500 may be all down.
The cowboy now rides slowly around
them, stopping occasionally if he de-
sires to, and whistling or singing, as he
likes But should the herd get up or
become excited in the night he rides
around rapidly and sings until they are
quiet.-New York Tribune.

Tree and Plant Leaves.

The general arrangement of the
leaves on limbs and stalks of trees and
plants secures between each sufficient
space to prevent one leaf from interfer-
ing with another. And not only are
leaves so arranged as to exist independ-
emily of each other, but in a general
way they have taken upon themselves
the forms best adapted to secure the
maximum of sunlight as it is showered
upon them in different ATTITUDES. At
the equator, where the suns rays are
vertical we find large fat leaves like
those of the banana, plantain and the
various species of the cactus.
Farther north, where sunlight strikes
at an angle, small leaves and pine ''nee-
dies" are found. Then again note the
popularity of the Australian gum tree.
Instead of exposing their broad faces to
the sun the edges only are so turned.
Were it otherwise the sun would rob
them of all their moisture, it being a
we'll known fact that the gum tree
grows in the driest region on earth.

lieve that they see the same with one
eye as with both eyes. That this is noe
the case one can easily convince him
self by the following simple expert
ment: Cover one of the eyes with a
hand or a bandage and let the expert
menter attempt to snuff out a candle
suddenly placed within few feet OF
him. He will almost invariably miss

A JOKE ON CuLLoM.
He Started to Discuss the Panama
Canal Treaty in Open Session.

Washington, D. c., March 10.-Soon
after the senate met today, Cullom,
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, referred to the action of the
committee in passing a resolution call
ing on the secretary of state for a copy
in Spanish of the Panama canal treaty.
81 have it," said he, land 1 think it
proper to present it. 1t is the original
treaty signed by the parties in Spanish.
Culom had overlooked the fact that
the senate was in legislative session and
was proceeding to discuss the document
when Allison moved an executive session.
During the last congress Cuilonl was
very careful to see that the treaty was
not discussed except in executive session
and he showed signs of embarrassment
as he promptly acquiesced in the motion
to close the doors which was done eight
after coavening. Other SEN
ators enjoyed the joke at the expense OF
the Illinois senator.
When the senate went into executive
session Senator Morgan was not present
but soon came in with big roll OF
papers under his arms and when the
treaty was taken up proceeded to discuss
1t again, taking up and talking at length
upon the failure OF the copy sent to the
senate to embody the Spooner law as
provided for in the preamble to the
treaty

Mr.. Montoya opposed the bill and
said the duties of officers of the law
are prescribed under the present law
but the bill under consideration makes
these officers hounds and detectives,
for which purpose they We're not cleo
ted by the people in the sense this bill
contemplates. He referred to the
clause which authorizes the governor
to remove federal judges and said the
bill Is deficient in many respects.
Mr.. Pollard contended the bill does
not authorize the governor to remove
federal judges, but Mr.. Llewellyn dis
puted this statement. Mr. Turner re-
piled to Mr.. Llewelyn and held to his
opinion. Mr. Martin Sanchez and Mr..
Cristoval Sanchez spoke on the sub
ject. The committee then rose and,
without roll call, reported y. favor OF
killing the bill. On motion of Mr..
Bowie, the bill was tabled indefinitely.
On motion of Mr. Baca the bill was
nailed down.
The House then took recess until 2
o'clock.
