Busy weele IN oonrren..

This week will prove very busy one
in Congress. It will mark, according to
general expectations, the end Of the dis
cussion on tho Railroad Rates bill. There
is among Republican Senators some dis
position to antagonize the compromise
provision for Judicial review Of the find
ings Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, but tho fact that this provision
is accepted by the conservative Senatorial
leaders on the one hand and byt the
President on the other renders Il virtually
certain that tho amendment will in the
end be accepted as a party measure, and
that IL will receive most if not all Of the
votes Of Republican Senators.
There is no agreement among Republi-
cans as 70 whether the bill shall be other
wise amended, and it is probable that
a day or two viii elapse before any policy
on that point can be determined. The
consideration Of the bill will proceed in
accordance with the unanimous agree
ment; the measure is being considered
section by section, and each section dis
posed Of in order.
Opinions differ as TO the length Of time
that may be required for the conclusion
Of the work on the bill, and estimates
vary all the way from Wednesday until
Saturday. The principal debate will be
on the question of court review.
The discussion Of the nomination of Mr..
Barnes, assistant secretary 10 the Presi-
dent, as postmaster Of the city Of WASH
ington, win also proceed when opportun-
ity offers.
The House will complete the Naval Ap-
preparation bill this week. If the foreign
aiairs committee can get the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill ready in
time action also may be taken on the
measure.
The reading Of the Naval bill is ex-
pected 70 occupy the House today We'd
nesday and possibly Thursday. Should
there be any unoccupied time, however.
there are two special orders already on
the calendar and the Immigration bin is
TO constitute the third il the present plan
succeeds to give it that status by the
passage Of d resolution Pure food
legislation has the right Of way after ap-
preparation bills and next the bill creating
a uniform system Of naturalization.
Night sessions are contemplated 10 get
through tho voluminous codihcation Of
the criminal laws which is pending. but
no special order to this end has as yet
been adopted.
With the Naval and Diplomatic bills
out of the way there remain but two Of the
annual appropriation bills to be formu.
lated and passed These are the Sundry
Civil, which viii be ont Of committee tho
middle Of May, and the General Deficiency
which is always the last, and calculated
to carry the odds and ends Of the none,
necessities of the government.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT TONICS.

Their Value Discussed When TO Take a
Tonic-lhe Kind TO Take aud What to

The word "tonicn covers a multitude of

down to iron pills. Those who take their
whisky straight are to be commended for
one thing; namely, their frankness. They
eheeriully admit that they take alcoholic
beverages and do not masquerade behind

which the country is flooded and which
are called tonics. The average "Tonio. %

almost all her questions concerning
the period OF his runaway absences:
she appeared to know and to under
stand everything which had happened
since his return to town. He had not,
in his turn, reached the point where he
would begin TO question her: he was
too breathless in his consciousness of
the marvellous present hour. She had
told him OF the death of sRoger Tabor
the year before. Poor man. she said,
gently, ..hc lived to see how the other

Eugene. He appeals to me even more

At this she glanced quickly up at

fastened the time emphatically, swing

She shook her head.

Eugene, leaning toward her.
