From the comparatively deserted ap- pearance of the hotel Hobbies in Wash ington the inexperienced might be led to believe there was nothing doing, says our Washington correspondent On the contrary are experiencing "the calm before the storm" and ere long the latter will break and Washington will see the liveliest session since the civil war It Is the very tenseness of the duietude prevailing which justifies the prediction. A meeting of a town council might have attracted as much attention locally as the opening of congress. This is unnatural, almost uncanny, and can be explained only on the ground that there are sub-surfaee workings of which the public knows little or nothing. Without going into the subject in detail, glimpse can be given by the lifting of the corner of the veil. Congress is here for business this trip; to attend 10 that business
 
 carefully and conservatively. and to get away promptly is the desired end of the statesmen on the hill. There fore there is no time for fooling, for hot-air speeches, political maneuvers. A compact minority skillfully guided by shrewd leader like Williams of Mississippi may cause an unwieldy majority like that behind Speaker Can non a great deal Of trouble. and the latter recognizes this fact. COnsC quently the edict has gone forth that it is to be business fro mthe fall of the flag. and any straying from the reser- avtion will be severely punished. We are therefore of in an orderly and decorous manner, but without a ripple of excitement.

Army and naval officers. as well as
 others, who attended the recent foot ball game at Princeton between the
 military and naval academy teams are loud in their condemnation of the ser vice given by the Pennsylvania rail road on that occasiOn. and it is ex- tremely improbable that future games between these academies will be played on Princeton field. As a matter Of fact the arrangement to have the game played at Princeton was largely in the nature of mOney-making scheme. as it necessitated a journey on the part of almost everyone who wished to be present. and there were also opportunities to sell a great many meals. sandwiches. etc. Ii is said the Pennsylvania railroad spent s3O.0OO laying an extra track from Princeton Junction and putting in terminal side tracks to haul the trains. all of which it expected to recoup itself for from this one game. The army special did not reach West Point until midnight. being delayed over an hour at Prince ton and for ait least the same time at Jersey CIty. It is hoped the next game vin be played either at wash inEton CT Philadelphia.

Every mother POSSESSES Information

Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result

ignorance of natures mysterious and
