Washington. Jan. %. - Greatly to
the surprise of every one, the subject
of slavery was introduced in the sen.
ate yesterday. Secretary Taft was di.
rectly charged with having a knowl
edge of slavery in the islands. The
debate was made pertinent by the
sections Of the bill revising the crimi-
nal code of the United States, which
provides penalties for dealing In
slaves.
Mr.. Hale asserted that such provi
sicns should be stricken out, as he
regarded slavery as obsolete in the
United states and he could see no
reason for referring to it.. Senator
Hepburn. in charge of the bill, de.
clarei that not only is there immoral
traffic in white slaves, but that coolie
'abor in the form of practical slavery
loes exist, and added that actual hu.
nan slavery is still maintained in the
philippine islands.
Mr.. Lodge made an attempt to dis.
prove the charge of slavery in the isl.
an9s.
At 1850 p. M. the senate adjourned.
The street railway systems of the
District of Columbia and the financial
question occupied the time Of the
house of representatives yesterday.

Washington. Jan. 20. - The senate
disposed of large number of minor
bills on the calendar and resumed
consideration of the bill to revise the
constitution of the United States. Ad-
iournment was taken at 4:1G p. m.
National politics, international mar
riages and government expenditures
formed the themes of discussion in
the house of representatives yester-
day. Incidentally it was the longest
sitting of the house this session. The
urgent deficiency bill was up for con-
sideration, but in several instances it
was ignored under the license of gen.
eral debate.

Curious Traditions
about the Ancient Symbol

Back Through Centuries.

r<HERE were eggs long before hens had be-

were hatched from eggs-in myth-long
before fowls had developed the maternal instinct
Many centuries before the first Easter the egg
was associated in mems minds with certain sea
sons and with hoary traditions There are few
objects about which cling such antique myths
In ancient mythology it was believed that the
world itself sprang from the egg. Before Zorro
aster was born the Persians presented eggs to one
another at the time of the year corresponding to
our Easter. So did the Romans before the gods
oracled of Caesar; so did the Franks before the
story Of the cross reached their forest homes.
Most ancient symbol of life, the egg recalls
many interesting legends The humble hen may
