FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

From twenty-year-old mulberry tree 21S pounds of leaves have been picked in year.
 String beans may be obtained during the entire summer by planting once month for successive supplies.
 Some trees are much more unfavor- able to the growth of plants beneath them than are others. The worst are the yew and the ash.
 Whenever water Is given to pot plants enough should be used thor oughly to wet the soil around the roots. Mere sprinklirg of the surface does lit tie good.
 The next time you have bouquet of flowers to keep add very little caEi- phor to the water in the vase and sec how much longer its freshness will be retained.
 One of the most satisfactory plants for house culture is the yellow Oxalis. It will blossom freely if given sun and water. and its bronze brown foliage sets off its pretty yellow bloom rarely.

TELEPHONE ON THE LOCOMOTIVE.

The cause of nearly all the train
 wrecks on the railway lines of the country Is the severlng of all connec- ton between the train crew and dis patcher, while the trains are in mo- tion, and, while the automatic signal apparatus now in operation on some of the roads has done much to insure the safety of railway travel, there Is no doubt that the telephone recently patented by Ava D. Jones, of Louis vile, Ky, would still further mini- mize the loss caused by these accl- dents. This inventor claims to have solved the difficulty of maintaining q contact through the trolley device run ming on the telephone wire which par allels the railway line. and 1t will be interesting to note his method of over- coming what has hitherto been consid- cred an almost insurmountable obsta- cle to the use of locomotive tele. phone.

Peppermint For SIecplessuess.

This is very sim. pie cure. and 1t will not bring forth from the organs of professional opin ion any declaration. of unsafeness. It is added that mixture of spirits of chloroform and peppermint water giv- en in hot water to the victim of insom- nia will produce sleep. but perhaps in the case of the admxture of chloro- form water may claim decided share in relieving tue trouble.

marks these bills were passed: Appro- priating $l35,000 to compensate the old Point Comfort Development com pany for the destruction and removal of the Hygeia hotel from the goverr- ment reservation, old Point Comfort, Va.; resolution granting to the New York and New Jersey Railroad com pany the right to construct and operate r an underground railroad under land owned by the United States in New York. The senate at 4 10 o'clock went into executive session and at 40 ad- journed.
 Bills were passed to authorize the president to appoint and retire William Mccarthy Little as captain in the navy; to grant an American register to the steamer Beaumont to construct lighthouse and fog signal station at Burdette's island, Washington to issue patent to certain lands to Buffalo, Wyo.; to grant the Central Arizona company right of way through the San Francisco mountain reserve and extend the coal lands laws to the dis trict of Alaska.
 A bill to open to settlement 50,000 acres in the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache reservation was defeated-35 to 32.
 TUESDAY.
 At caucus of Republican senators it was decided to continue considera- tion of the Panama canal treaty in ex- ecutiye session until the measure was disposed of. This was agreed to with out question by the supporters of the statehood bill, it being understood that their favorite is not to use it's ad- vantageous position in the order of business.
 While Mir. Depew was continuing his speech in the senate in opposition to the statehood bill, MT. Teller de- clared that himself and the country had been insulted by some of Mir. De- pew's references to the unequal repre- sentation in the senate. MT. ,Depew replied briefly and the matter was dropped.
 The house began consideration of the navel appropriation bill under the operation of rule which made the new legislation relative to the in- crease of the p rsonnel of the navy and the naval academy in order.
 MT. Littlefeld of Maine and Mir. Sulzer of New York had an interesting clash before the naval Jill was taken up, the former charging the latter with having perverted the record.
 WEDNESDAY.
 After listening in executive session, for three hours to MT. Morgan's con- tinuation of his speech in opposition to the Panama canal treaty, vote was taken on his motion foran inquiry into the credentials of Senor Herran, Colombia's representative in negotiat- ing the treaty. The result was the motion was defeated by vote of l3 to 39.
 Amongst batch of nominations sent to the senate were those of Inspector General Breckenridge and Quartermas- ter General Lndington to~be major generals and at once to go on the re. fired list. General Breckenridge would not have retired under ordinary condi- tions until 1906, but he takes the sop of promotion and retres three years sooner.

it seems, continue longer to direct 1t.
 THURSDAY
 After having been amended in sev- eral important particulars, the naval appropriation bill passed the house. Among other things it provides that in the event of the combination of bidders, the secretary of tlie navy may order vessels constructed in government yards. That official is also given dis cretionary power to expend $500, ,O00 in the construction of submarine torpedo boats. The sum of $l0,00O, ,O00 is ap- propriated for "domestic' armor, al- though it was objected to by Mir. Gaines, a Tennessee Democrat, who remarked, addressing the Republican side: "This is Che foulest trust you ever pressed to your bosoms."
 From what occurred in the senate executive session it would appear that Mir. Quay has joined forces with Mir. Morgan in opposing the Panama canal treaty. The Pennsylvania senator an- ticipates an extra session, and tine pres- ident informed number of visitors at tl.e White House that he should call one.
 The president sent the name of Judge William R. Day to the senate as asso- cate justice of the supreme court in place of Justice Shiras, resigned. He a so nominated John K. Richards, at present solicitor general, to succeed Judge Day on the circuit bench.
 FRIDAY.
 Another day was spent by the senate in executive session. discussing the Panama canal treaty. The so-called administration senators are thoroughly alarmed at the outlook for the treaty and are willing to hold out the olive branch and make almost any sort of compromise except permit a vote on the statehood bill. The friends of the latter measure keep bold front and express confidence in their ultimate successor an extra session. The state- hood leaders appear to be perfectly willing to accept the responsibility for this outcome.
 The house passed the Notifications appropriation bill, adopted the confer ence reports on the bill for the protec tion of the president and on the legis- lative, executive and judicial bill, and then spent three hours wrangling over the Fowler currency bill, finally ad- journing without taking any definite action upon it.
 Some time ago resolution provid- ing that Rear Admiral Schley, retired, should be given the pay and allowance of rear admiral on the active list was passed by the senate. When it came up in the house yesterday it was tabled.
 SATURDAY.
 The statehood compromise, which is expected to unlock the present tangle ill the senate and remove the blockade proposes to admit two states, one to be Oklahoma, according to its present boundaries, with proviso that Indian territory shall be added to Oklahoma in 1906, when the treaty obligations with the Indians will not be in the way. The other state is to be composed of New Mexico and Arizona under the name ot Montezuma, with proviso that when the present terl itory of Ari- zona has population of 900, ,000 people it shall become separate state, pro- vided that the people of the territory affected, vote in favor of being divided from New Mexico.
