The senate is a very deliberate
body and very long on discussion. In
reading the Congressional Record a
few days Ago we discovered to what
length debate is carried on over the
addition Of d word. The pure food
bill was the subject under discussion,
aud the word %''added.n whether it
should be added to or left off a por-
ton of the bill, took five pages of the
Record to tell in running debate If it
should become a part of a sentence.
1t is no wonder that it takes the
senate some time to do anything
when so much time is consumed over
what seemed to be a matter that
ought to have been settled without
so long a debate.

The Fur Trade.


Thu fur trade Of North America has
always been largely conducted on the
principle of barter, writes Duncan
Macarthur in the New England Mag
azine. The transactions with the In
dams are carried ON in a very simple
manner When a hunter brings In his
collection of furs to any trading post,
which he usually does twice a year, in
October and March, be is taken to the
trading room, where the official in
charge carefully examines, CLASHES
and values each skin, and when the
whole pack is gone over he hands the
Indian a number of tallies, or small
pieces of wood or metal, each repre-
senting the value of a made beaver"
and the whole representing the value
of he entire catch. The Indian then
proceeds to the storeroom and selects
such articles as he reQuirestblankets,
capots. guns, knives, tea, tobacco, ETC.
In payment for which he hands back
his tallies until they are all gone and
bis purchasing powers are exhausted.
He then departs, another hunter takes
his place and is dealt with in a similar
manner, aud so on until all the furs
In possession of the whole band Of In
dams have passed into the hands OF the
trader. Formerly 1t was customary to
give a good hunter a dram" and some
small presents in appreciation Of his
Industry.

Fourteenth C~entury I'M.

In the fourteenth century people
lived in mud huts, with a rough door
and no chimney. 1t was not till a cen
fury later that the erection of a Chin
ney was considered more than an in
diligence in luxury, a fire commonly
being built against the mud plastered
wall of the hut and the smoke escap-
Ing through the roof. All furniture
was OF wood. Most persons slept on
straw pallets, with a log Of wood for
a pillow. Even the nobility had no
glass in the windows during this time.
Cleanliness was not IL characteristic OF
the people, and Thomas a'Becket was
considered more than necessarily nice
because he had the floor of his house
strewn with fresh straw each day.

Driakins Hot water.

There are four classes Of persons
who should not drink large quantities
of hot water: First, people who have
irritability Of the heart. Hot water
will cause palpitation of the heart in
such cases. Second. persons with d.
lated stomachs. Third, persons at
licted With sour stomachs. Fourth,
persons who have %orene of the stom-
ech or pain induced by light pressure.
These rules are not for those who take
hot water simply to relieve thirst, but
as IL means Of washing out the stom-
ach. Hot water will relieve thirst bet
ter than cold water and for that pur-
pose is not to be condemned. But hot
water Is an excitant and in cases In
which Irritation of the stomach exists
should be avoided.

jected into the railway rate bill.
Some Of the republican opponents OF
the Hepburn bill In the senate have
given the leadership to Tillman 10
usbing the bill In that chamber.
Senator Aldrich, OF those rcpu5-

declared that, as the Hepburn meas
ure vas reported to the senate by
democratic votes, it was only right
that q democrat should be allowed to
take the precedence in championing
u. Possibly the Rhode island n
tor thinks that he has thus ~assailed
the president and Speaker Cannon,
and humiliates Senator Dolliver, OF
Iowa, who ought to have the honor
OF leadership In pressing the bill
through his chamber. Possibly also
he imaRines that by giving charge Of
the bill to democrat he may put
politics into 1t, discredit it. ana
turn enough wayerlng republicans
against It to defeat it. II these +
M. Aldrich's ideas ne will quickly
lind that he is mistaken. Neither
the p~resident nor the house OF repre-
%sentatives which passed the bill by a
substantially unanimous vote will be
embarrassed ty the trick which has
placed Senator Tillman at the front
In the championship OF the measure.
Senator Dolllver cares nothing for
the slight which has been placed
upon him BY taking out Of his hands
the honor Of reporting the bill. The
Iowa senator has all along been fav-
Orable to the measure which passed
tlle house. He was In thorough &C
cord with the president and Speaker
Cannon on this measure. The SCUM
Try knows this, and no attempt to
take away from him this credit can
succeed. He will support the bill as
earnestly and as effectively under
Tlllman's leadership as he would have
done IL he had been put In control
OF that measures fortune. This he
has said In language which is not
calculated to give any aid and com
fort to his republican opponents.
