BREAKS BY CONGRESS-
Peculiar Mistakes Due to Tremen-
dous Amount of Work Transacted
.IttSf Refore Advancement

In the hurry and hustle of "get
away" day in Congress, a few errors
slipped in TO upset the calculations of
party leaders. One of these was the
signing of the agricultural appropri-
alton bill by the President before that
measure contained the signature of the
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives. OF course this oversight was
corrected, but the question then arose
as to the Importance of having the bill
signed by the Speaker and the Vice
President. Their signatures merely
certify that the bill has passed their
respective houses. the important fact
being that they have been passed by
the House and Senate. For this rea-
son it is not regarded as being abso-
lutely indispensable that a bill should
be signed by the presiding officer of
the House. All that is necessary is TO
establish the fact that it has been so
passed.
Another "break" was the presiden-
tial approval of the sundry civil bill
containing an item appropriating
$3,000000 for a site for Il new de-
partmental building in Washington.
This item had been dropped out of the
bill in conference but the enrolment
clerks failed to notice the omission
and so included this item in the copy
of the bill laid before the President for
his signature. When the error was
discovered, resolution was adopted
by both houses of Congress repeating
the feature of the bill making the
$3,000.000 appropriation.
1t is not strange that these mis-
takes occur. as all of the employees of
both the Senate and House during the
last few days OF Congress have an
enormous amount of work showed upon
them, so that when Congress actually
adjourns many of them are ready to
take to their beds for several days in
order to recuperate.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
Northern Sister Would Like Such
Arrangements; But is Waiting
Move by This Country.

A letter from Ottawa, Canada,
states that the question of reciprocrity
between Canada and the Unite
States is by no means deau, as was
clearly shown by the recent debate on
the Canadian budget in number of
| speeches, which, while they admitted
that the United States did not appear
to care for reciprocity, IL would ii it
could be brought about on mutually
advantageous terms, oe a good thing
for both sides of the line. Many of
the crown ministers and even Sir VIII
frid Laurier himself, the premier, and
described in England as the foremost
statesman in the British Empire, are
favorable to Canadian-Americar re-
ciprocity, if it can be had. Sir
Richard Cartwright, minister of trade
and commerce. said recen,-y that there
could be no better British policy than
to do everything possible to encourage
good relations with the United States.
Senator Lougheed, the conservative
leader i'm the Senate, stated that he
thought no higher work could be found
by King Edward than to promote the
good relations of the two peoples, and
bind more closely together the two
Anglo-SaXon nations. He knew no
happier way of strengt .ening the bond
between the Anglo-Saxon peoples on
the North American Continent than
for the King and Queen to visit the
shores of North America at the pres
ent time.
If reciprocity is not visibly to the
front to-day 1t is because public
opinion in Canada reg rds reciprocity
as unattainable and the position of
the anti-reciprocity men who are for
the moment supreme, as unassailable.
Hence, and for no other reaeon, re-
ciprocity sentiment is put on the shelf
until called for again, and an ostenta-
tious appearance of indifference Is
manifested in Canada which will be
stiffiy maintained as long as the
United States government makes no
forward movement that public opinion
in the Dominion can accept as sincere
and based on a spirit of reasonableness
and fair play.
To those who are able to read be-
tween the lines, the announcement of
the finance minister that the changes
to be made in the Canadian tariff,
when revision takes pace next session.
must depend upon such new conditions
as may have occurred. is obviously
meant for the people at Washington
who stand in the way of reciprocity,
and those In London who have blocked
mutual preference between the
mother country and Canada. 1t is a
warning and may mean much, or little,
as circumstances or conditions dictate.

bouche" to be presented to a lady.
There is also, it is said, demand for
sugared rose petals, which is being
catered to by some enterprising artists
in sugar. 1t can hardly be pretended
that flowers made into sweets are of
any medicinal efficacy, though damask
rose leaves have long held a recog-
nized place in the materia medica.
Whether the violet has any thera-
peutic qualities does not appear,
though the leaves (not the fiower)
have just now some reputation-out-
side the medical faculty-as a cure
for cancer. The best that can be
hoped for, if flowers are to be eaten
as well as to be seen and smelled, is
that they may in all cases prove to be
innocuOus. 1t is nice question
whether the perfume is always a safe
guide
Perhaps the modern craze Is, after
all, only a form of luxury. A candied
violet or a dish of rose leaves cum
ningly prepared for the tea table could
not possibly enter into the category of
cheap sweets for the millions. and it
is understood that the sugar trust is
not interested

rather plain.
Figures like these, however, al
though ordinarily impressive and con
vincing, did not attract so much at
tention in the House, because the
members were so absorbed in the prac-

On the tables where Mr.. Mann, ably

weights and skillful dropping of pack

in great many cases the public paid
full price for an abnormal amount of
