BREAKS By CONGRESS-
Peculiar Mistakes Due to Tremen-
dous Amount of Work Transacted
just Before Adjournment.

1850 G<A1A@ AANIV1A
In the hurry and hustle of "get
away" day in Congress, 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 1t 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 1t has been so
passed.
Another "break" was the presiden-
hal approval Of the sundry civil bill
containing an item appropriating
$3,000,000 for a site for a 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
$3,0000O0 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.

clared the Countess and this with a
succession of spirited assertions she
made were Justify cheered by the la
boring men.
The Countess of Warwick is one Of
England's most famous women. Be-
fore the succession of her husband to
the earldom she was Lady Brooke and
gained the nickname of "Babbling
Brooke" for having told some t. ngs
In connection with the famous bac-
carat party at Tranby Croft which
proved one of the most sensational
news stories of the year. The Prince
of Wales, now King Edward VII, was
a member of the party and a subse-
quent witness in the case.

CHICKEN GROWTH.
In the past few years the Countess
Of Warwick has devoted nearly her
entire time to phiIanthropic and char

and lace store but the venture proved
unsuccessful Later she founded a
school and dairy work and poultry

crippled children and a technical

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
Northern Sister Would Like Such
Arrangement; But Is Waiting
Move by This Country.


A letter from Ottawa, Canada,
states that the question of reciprocity
between Canada and the Unite.
States is by no means dead, as was
clearly shown by the recent debate on
the Canadian budget in a number of
speeches, which, while they admitted
that the United States did not appear
to care for reciprocity, it would if it
could be brought about on mutually
advantageous terms, Oe good thing
for both sides of the line. Many of
the crown ministers and even Sir Will
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 recenl.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 in 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 it 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 reason, 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
stiffly 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.

Share Business Troubles with Your Wife
BY POLLY PENN.

There is man whose attention I
want to, catch today. May the fates
guide him to this humble sketch and
may he read straight on to the end and
take it hometsto his own heart!
He is that mistaken individual who
cherishes his business affairs as sa-
cred mystery, to ;be most iealously
guarded within the PRECINCTS of, his of
fee. He, never confdes them to his
wife. b It is not that he doubts her
integrity or her affection. Or, at least,
he did not doubt them when he: had
time to think of those things at all.
He would scorna the suggestion that he
married her merely to pet, or to cook
his dinner and darn his socks. Once
but whisper it softly!-he had roman
tic notions that they two were to make
life happier for each other.
Yet this same man comes home from
his office, his factory, his shop, or wher-
ever he earns his daily bread-and hers
also-with heavy heart and a gloomy
face He makes a feeble effort to con
|ceal his care, and succeeds so poorly
that woman must needs be blind and
deaf not to detect his hidden worri-
ment. Or, if he be a brute, he snaps
at her sayagely; for this is his brave
ana truly masculine way Of shielding
her from his troubles!
he can scarcely eat the dinner. or
supper, or whatever they. call it in
their home. IS, ~
fare you ill9'' is her anxious query.
No,' he says, abstractedly. He
makes a valiant effort to appear raw
enous and fails dismally.
Again she essays, with some timidi-
ty, Isn't it righta I tried to have
what you liked tonight
tits all right. [ IN not hungry.,'
he answers, shortly, and pushes his
plate aside.
All evening he is gloomy and thought
ful. Furtively she watches him, her
heart getting heavier and heavier. But
she says less and less to him. for she
speedily discovers. by. the increasing
curtness of his brief replies that he. de-
sires to be left alone.
This goes on night after night until,
by and by, being but woman, she also
becomes irritable. He is late coming
home, and preserves a majestic silence
concerning the cause. She knows the

that hes hasgt terrible, mysterious secrets

it is understood that they will remain
for the winter, and, in fact, indefinitely.
The ultra smart set at ST. Peters
burg, to which the .Cantacnzones be-
ony in Paris since the political troubles
became so acute, and a large number
of these fashionable Russian families
have taken hotels or apartments for
six months or a year. The imperial
court Of the car and czarina promise
to be exceedingly dull during the coming
season, and SO they have focked to
Paris, where they can continue their
round Of gayety undisturbed. Il
The Cantacuzenes are as. much at
home in Paris as they are in st. Peters
burg: The old princess, mother Of Ju.
liza Grants husband, was "a Trenchwo-
beauty of good st. German stock. She
brought her husband a comfortable
dover and Sdutifully embraced the re-
igion and the customs of Russia, but
has carefully kept up her connections
with France. In ST? Petersburg she
lives in the same house with her son
Michael, but occupied one floor with.
Her5 separate establishment ana that IS

Julia Dent Grant met her husband
in Paris when she was chaperoned hsre
by her aunt, Mrs. Potter Palmer, who
occupies rather an exalted position in
Paris.
Princes and princesDes in Russia are
as thick as mosquitoes in New Jersey,
but the Russian court is most excll-
sive, and the hereditary court priv
ileges which 60 with old titles in Eng
land, Austria and Spain are; unknown
in Russia.
Julia Grant as Princess Cantacuzene
has Ec position at court except the one:
the czanna pleases to bestowsupon her
as the wife of a fashionable young
gral dsman of good family.
The young Prince Cantacuzene, her
hurband, is good looking and friend
Of the Vladimir family, in the same
regiment with the Grand Duke Boris.
The Cantacuzenes are generally in.
cluded in the exclusive little dances
which, the Grand Duchess Vladimir
gives during the winter, attendance at
which carries such prestige that tnoy
are the goal Of every social climber.
The young Princess Cantacuzene IS

He is thoughtless Of her. he is sell

does not trust her; he seems to find

dislike her now as much as she once
was foolish enough to believe he liked
her. So she reasons. And who is there
to tell her that not one of these things
is true-that her husband is weighed
down by some serious business trouble,
which preys upon him day and night
and has transformed him into horrid

pen, dear man, that person of your
intelligence should have married a

But you wrong her. She will uIi-
derstand. She will understand just so

come back to her face. For it is given
woman to understand the just proper
ton of things so well that she knows
it is better anything on earth should
happen rather than that you two should
lose your love for each other.
She will understand so well that she
will be patient when you come home
late, and cross. She will try to smooth
the wrinkles from your brow and from
your life. And if you really care for
her-as. of course, you do-she will
have the power to inspire you with
some of her own wemanly trust and
courage.
Does not man know that when he
bereaves a .woman's heart of her trust
in his love he has robbed her of her

her back that, and she can do for you
