SENATE STANDS PAT
ON ITS MEAT BILL
Demands That Packers Pay
Cost for All Inspec-
ton.

The agricultural appropriation bin. TO
which the meat inspection measure is
a rider. came from the House and was
taken up in the Senate yesterday for
discussion Senator Proctor called It
up. and Senator Bailey proceeded to an
argument that Il is unconstitutional.
The Federal Government. he said. has no
right to impose it's inspection on manu.
featuring plants as TO their products
which are intended for interstate COM
merce. 1t has. however, power to pro-
vide that products not subjected to a
certain inspection. or measuring up to
a certain standard. shall not be admit
ted to interstate commerce, and this
ought to be the form Of the bill
During the consideration of the sub
tect Mr. Warren of Wyoming gave
some interesting figures in the growth
of governmental expenditures in the
past decade. He was urging the Gov
ernment to pay the cost of beef inspec-
ton, declaring that If the cost was as
sessed against the packers the burden
would fail upon the stock raisers.
Hr. Nelson of Minnesota declared that
the farmers of the country and the con-
sumers of meat wanted the cost of in
spection paid by the packers.
The Senate finally voted to insist on
it's measure and to ask conference.
Senators Proctor. Hansbrough, and
Simmons were named as conferees.
Among the bills passed We're the fol-
lowing: Leasing Government lands to
the Agricultural College in Montana:
providing bronze medals for veterans
of the Spanish-American war and for
Philippine service; providing terms of
circuit and district courts at Big Stone
Cap. Va; prohibiting the killing of wild
birds and wild animals in the District
of Columbia: providing for the protec-
ton Of birds and eggs on all Govern
ment breeding grounds except the
Black Hill Forest Reserve in South Da-
kota.
Mr.. Carter presented an order for the
printing of 25.OO0 copies of that portion
of the Statehood bill relating to Okla
homa. Objection was made to defray-
ing the expense out of the contingent
fund of the Senate. A joint resolution
providing for the printing will be intrS-
duced later

In the twelfth century not less than
brteen epidemics of disease and many
famines carried of the people Of Eng
land. The thirteenth century saw
twenty plaques and nineteen famines,
while the fourteenth had a black rec
ord Of disease. In 1348 the BLACK
plague" or "black DEATH" which was
brought into the country from the
east. caused the death Of 100000 per
sons In London alone, while in Europe
altogether 25,OOO,0OO people fell vic
tins to its ravages. In 14S5 the
"sweatlng sickness" appeared In Eng
land, causing great destruction Of hui
man life. 1t reappeared at various in
tervals for a century thereafter. The
last terrible visitation Of the plague
In England was I'm 16Gi-GG, by which
100000 lives were lost In London alone.
This epidemic was followed by the
great fire Of 1866, which destroyed lG,.
coo houses, including all the most
densely populated portions Of the city.
The rebuilding Of London with some
regard to sanitary laws appears to
have put the first check on the epldem-
&c diseases that had previously devas'
tated its population.

Youthfulness is a quality very difficult
TO describe. As often as not it pro
ceeds from the mind rather than from
appearance and one often feels with
middle aged and elderly people that
they are In reality far more youthful In
IDEAS, in the keenness Of their enjoy
ment and In their fresh outlook than
many of ones acquaintances who In
point Of years are mere girls. 1t is
said that every age has its compensa'
lions, and undoubtedly there are many
mothers of families and grandmothers,
too, who own to an enjoyment and zest
for life equal to those experienced In
early yeats. Youthfulness is temper
ament and the capacity for taking the
simple goods that are to be found In
existence rather than in waiting for su-
perlatlve joys which may never arrive,
says Woman's Life The bored person
OF either sex is invariably wearisome

sense OF enjoyment adds to the well
being of others a thousandfold.

When 1t is necessary to relieve ones
thirst abroad, If the cup be filled quite
full and placed to the mouth in such
a way that the rim will be about half
an inch below the under lip, one can
drink from the surface Of the water.
In this way no part of the vessel, to
which some particles Of poisonous mat
ter may still be clinging, Will touch the
delicate skin Of the lip. 1t is hardly
necessary to add that the water which
adheres to the mouth and below the
lips should be removed by a handker-
chief and not by the tongue.
