an THE WAY 10 zWo BtLEIoss,

There was a rather loud and extern
sive howl when ''the billion-dollar con-
sress' made itself known. But there
isn't any bowling of any account now
when there Is a billion-and-a half dollar
congress, The total appropriations of
the last session were $SlS,47S,s14. Add
to this the appropriations of the first
session, $751;, 172.s75, and we have a to-
tai for the Fifty-eighth congress of ST.
599,651 ,2S9,3 The appropriations of the
F'ifty-eighth congress exceed by $751;
4SS,652 those of the Fifty-fifth. though
the latter had to provide for the ex-
traordinary expenses of the Spanish
American war. The just adjourned
congress had to provide for the pur-
chase of the Panama Canal rights and
also the first incidental running ex-
penses of that enterprise. But, aside
from that, the sums voted during the
past two years have been for only the
normal cost of government mainte-
nance in a time of peace. In fact, they
hardly provide for that maintenance
on a proper scale, as money has been
refused for some really needed river
and harbor improvements and public
buildings, while only a part of the legit-
imately required new naval eonstrue-
ton has been ordered,
The talk is that the appropriations
exceed the estimated revenue for 1905
by $92,ssSS99, but even if that turns
out to be so it wont amount to any,
thing. We are rich, and if We want a
two-billion- dollar congress we can af-
ford one. They do say that one United
States citizen alone is worth a billion.

Oh, the broad and beauteous valley.

Oh, the dear old country roadway,
with the naples in O. row!Et
All, the scene that comes before me,
through what misty tears ] view
That picture of the homeland, tho
land Of long ago. Il
IT'S the still and golden twilight, there's
a sheen along the daisies;
The birds are winging .homeward
through mS.,g the softened summer
The bees have hushed their humming In
the clover's fragrant nlazes---
All, me. that only memory can bring
this back Tonight
Adown the lanes of autumn the faded
leaves are flying;
When the SHOWS were white and
sparkling on along the hill;
Across the evening shadows, where the
T. hearth's low blaze Ia dying,
see the old.time faces, loye-lit, be-
fore me still,
Along the chords of fancy. cadence
sweet is ringing;
The eare-free, Joyous voices. the
voices of the bells;
What dreams of days forgotten their
mystic tones are bringing!
When the SHOWS were white and
sparkling on the dear familiar
dells. =
All the deep and ceaselesss yearning of
the heart, that long remembers,
The old days that are sleeping in the
valleys of the past; :. ~ r.
That ever feels the glowing of the
mornings vanished emhers.

THE AUDUBON socIETY-PART n
ITS HISTORY.

1t is now more than nineteen years
since the original Audubon Society was
formed. Even as early as 1885, Forest
and Stream was calling attention Of
the people to the fact that myriads Of
swallows and other small birds were
being killed to supply the milliners
with material for head decoration, and
urging the necessity for bird protection
in America. During the next two
years. this subject received the close
attention it deserved. from many mem
bers of the newly organized American
0rnithOlogoists' Union, and others now
famous in one department of natural
history or another. Among these men
were the late DIR. Elliott Coues. DR.. C.
Hart Merriam, DR.. George B, Grinnell
William Brewster, Eugene p. BicknelI.
William butcher, DR.. A. X. Fisher. DR..
]. A. Allen, George B. Sennett, Frank
NJ Chapman, Montague Chamberlain.
Col N. S. Goss and others. These men
met frequently, and did let of good,
hard work, collecting data concerning
the slaughter of birds, framing laws for
their protection, writing strong articles,
securing appropriations from Congress
to further the cause of bird protection,
and in score of ways awakening an
interest in the feathered population,
which they found to be so rapidly de-
creasing.
George Bird Grinnell, editor Of For
est and Stream, was among the most
active, and the columns OF his paper
were open, as indeed they are to this
day, to writers able to preach the gos-
pei of the preservation of birds, To
the untiring efforts of this publication
was due in no small measure such
success as attended the early efforts to
prevent the slaughter of birds for mer-
camille purposes. On February II,
1886. it published an editorial entitled
1.-THE Audubon Society," one paragraph
of which ran as follows;
I'VE propose the formation Of an
association for the protection of Wild
birds and their eggs, which shall be
called The Audubon Society. Its mem
hership is to be free to every one who
is willing to lend a helping hand in
forwarding the objects for which It is
formed. These objects shall be to pre-
vent, so far as possible, ~ the killing
of any wild birds not used for food; {2)
the destruction Of nests or eggs of any
wild bird, and (s) the wearing Of feath-
ers as ornaments or trimming for
dress" 5eI
The wide-reaching effects OF this
editorial seconded. ais it was, BY the
efforts of many such men as I have
mentioned above. are now well known.
Members fiocked to the standard, and

more than ten thousand members. The

The United States has many things
which it didn't have a few years ago.
and it is going to have more. Among
them will be leper colony in Hawaii,
Congress passed a bill for this purpose
at it's recent session, and negotiations
have already been begun with the Ha-
waiian government for the cession to
the United States Of one square mile
of territory on Melokai island, within
the leper settlement there. After the
land has been turned over to this gov
eminent the erection of the necessary
buildings, cottages, hospitals, labora-
tories and residences for the scientific
investigation of the treatment of iep-
rosy will be begun. DR.. Wyman has
mapped out a general plan Of proceed
ure. 1t is his intention to limit the
number of patients to be received for
treatment at any one time to forty,
They will be taken from the lener col
ony, and the government will be given
complete control over them In each
case there win be a well-defined scheme
of experimentation marked out with re-
gard to remedies and general treat
ment. General Wyman says that the
Hawaiian government and the territo-
rial Board of Health are both cooper
ating with the United States in this
movement, which he thinks will be of
the utmost Importance, He says that
it has been determined that leprosy can
be cured, and the disease germ has
been discovered. This is about as far
as Investigators have gone, but it is
hoped that exact information will be
developed in the Hawaiian leprosa-
rum. -
The Hawaiian government health au-
thorities have exhausted their, financial
resources and a good deal of energy in
enforcing laws for the suppression and
treatment of leprosy. Fer instance. the
laws now require them to separate any
leper found in the islands, take him or
her from the family and segregate the
patient in the leper colony on the ISL
and of Molokai, OF course, the relaov-
al process always is fought with all the
influence that the patient and his
friends can exert, and it is very pain
full for the authorities to enforce the
laws. When the government takes hold
of the matter these officials will be
able to tell patients that the United
States has set to work to treat the
disease and find a remedy for it. 1t is
thought that this argument will case
the situation materially. The United
States has undertaken a systematic
and continuous investigation Of this
dreaded disease, its treatment and cure,
such as has never before been attempt
ed by any other government

THE 30 Eks, PEoPLEsS UNION.

Correspondents of the London news
papers writing from johannesburg di-
rect attention to the rather striking
similarity between the newly organized
Peoples Union in the Transvaal and
the Afrikander Bond of the old days.
The former political organization came
into existence in Pretoria last Janu-
airy. 1T is said that at one time there
was an animated controversy among
it's authors regarding its title, one or
more wishing boldly to proclaim its
connection with the Afrikander Bond
Of Cape Colony while others favored
name less compromising. The latter
prevailed, but in order to leave no
room for doubt concerning the lines on
which it has been modelled, the Peo-
pies Union has practically adopted the
organization of the Bond. In both the
unit is the ward" above this is the
district committee, while the supreme

enunciated any special line of policy
beyond the statement contained in the
farst-statute, which reads; 1.-THE object
of the association is to bring about the
harmony and mutual cooperation of the
people of the Transvaal, and to adj
vance the general prosperity and prog
ress of the country and people" The
statutes Of the Peoples Union, how
ever, correspond very closely with
those of the Afrikander Bond. 1t is

When that massive pile of ugliness
in Fifth avenue is finished and Senator
Clark takes up his residence there. his
young wife will have the most lux

excel in its appointments the most
sumptuous baths of the early Romans,
and beside it the bath of the modern
Oriental-which is good deal more
of fable than fact-will pale into
insignificance. Onyx. alabaster and
the finest marble ever uuarried enter
into its construction. There are show
ers and needles and plunges. and the
water will be filtered and will be as
pure and clear as crystal.
But the one novelty Mrs. Clark will
possess which evens Caesar did not en-
joy will be an ingenious arrangement
of tiny faucets from which rare per-
fumes may be drawn and the water i'm
pregnated with their sensuous odors.
She may bathe in softened water
which eXhales the scent of the gera-

The idea is a new one, and it is the
invention of Pittsburg genius who
got carte blanche to design the most
