That our american Forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
tion, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

CHAPTER XXvI.

The commencement of the following year
was passed, on the part of the Americans,
in making great preparations to bring the
war to close. New York was the point
that was threatened by the allied armies |;
and Washington. by exciting constant
apprehension for the safety Of that city,
preventing such re-enforcemehts from be-
ing sent to- CORVALLIS as would have en-
abled him to improve his success.
At length, as autumn approached, ev-
cry indication was given that the final
movement had arrived. The French
forces drew near to the royal lines pass
ing through the Neutral Ground, and
threatened an attack in the direction of
Kingsbridge, while large bodies Of Ameri-
cans were acting In concert. BY hover
ing around the British posts and draw
ing nigh in the Jerseys. they seemed to
threaten the royal forces from that quar-
ter also. Sir Henry Clinton rested se-
cprely within his lines and cautiously dis
regarded the solicitations of CORVALLIS
for succor.
1t was at the close of a stormy day in
the month Of September thatsa large as
semblage OF officers was collected near
the door Of building that was situated
in the heart Of the American troops, who
held the Jerseys. To one in particular

The Senate held a short session Thurs.
DAY. during which Senator Aldrich re-
ported his banking bin from the commit
tie on finance and announced he would
call the measure up for consideration on
Monday, Feb. 10. The urgent deficiency
appropriation bill was passed by the
House. The total amount carried by it 10
S233, ,664, ,450, or $4,000 less than as re-
ported by the committee. The largest
single reduction was that Of $30o,U00 in
the clothing fund of the army. When
the session was resumed only few pages
of the bill remained to be disposed of.
Included in these was a provision for
tie appointment of thirty-four additional
policemen for the new House Office build
ing. Chairman Tawney urged the pro-
vision because of the necessity for pro-
tecting such costly government property
and ''of guarding the reputation and hon.
or of the members" Mr.. Mann, Illinois,
opposed the provision, and 1t was stricken
out on point of order after considerable
discussion. ~ .#g,

The Senate was entertained Wednesday
by series of animated comments on the
method adopted by Secretary of .he
Treasury Cortelyou in placing before the
Senate his reply to the resolution calling
for information relative to the operations
of the Treasury Department in connec-
tion with the financial disturbance. The
Secretary had had the Introductory part
of his reply printed and copies of the
pamphlet were on the desks of all Sana-
ters, which was declared by Democratic
Senators to be without precedent. The
Senate devoted considerable time to pass
ing minor bills on the calendar The
need of an American merchant marine
as an auxiliary to the navy. formed the
principal topic of discussion in the House
of Representatives during the considera-
ton of the urgent deficiency appropria-
tion bill. The debate was participated in
by Mr.. Little6eld of Maine, who ques-
toned the legality of the provision of the
bill appropriating S1,0OO,00O to supply a
deficiency for coal for the navy caused
by the trapsfer of the battle ship feet
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He
criticised Congress for its failure to make
appropriations for a merchant marine.

The Senate was not in session FRIDAY.
Although the urgent deficiency bill was
technically up for consideration in the
House, not a word pertinent to the bill
was spoken. Under the privilege OF gen.
eral debate several members addressed
the House on a variety of subjects, but
the speech which attracted most attention
was criticism by Mr.. Hitchcock of Ne
braska of a political forecast by Gen.
Charles Fl. Grosvenor of Ohio. The de-
bate brought to their feet numerous Dem
ocrats, who sprang to the defense of Mr..
Bryan, swhiie Gen. Keifer of Ohio, sup
ported by several other Republicans, un-
dertook to refute all the arguments con-
! ccrning Mr.. Bryan's two campaigns. Ad-
journment was taken until Monday.
s@'~' -
Y Greatly to the surprise of every one the
subject of slavery was introduced in the
Senate Monday. Secretary TAFT was di-
rectly charged with having a knowledge
of slavery in the Philippine Islands. The
debate was made pertinent by the sections
of the bill revising the criminal code of
the United States, which provide penalties
for dealing in slaves. Mr.. Hale asserted
that such provisions should be stricken
out. Senator Hepburn declared that not
only is there immoral traffic in white
slaves. but that actual human slavery is
still maintained in the Philippine Islands.
The street railway systems OF the Dis
trict of Columbia and the financial ques-
tion occupied the time of the House of
Representatives. The latter subject was
discucsedsby Mr.. Fowler, chairman-of the
committee on banking and currency, in an
exhaustive speech, in which he opposed
bondsecured currency and the proposition
looking to the establishment of central
bank. ~& ..

The Senate Tuesday disposed of a large
number of minor bills on the calendar,
and resumed consideration of the bill to
revise the criminal code of the United
States. Senator Hepburn was anxious to
continue consideration of the code bill, of
which he is in charge, until more pro-
gress should be made, but adjournment
was taken. National politics, interna-
tional marriages and government expendi-
lures formed the themes of discussion in
the House. incidentally it was the long
est sitting of the House this session. The
urgent deficiency bill was up for consid-
GRAFTON, but in several instances it vas
ignored under, the license of general de-
bate. The presence of William j. Bryan
in the lobby of the House furnished in
spiration to Mr.. Wallace of Arkansas for

riages of American heiresses to titled for
signers were denounced by Mr.. McGavin
of Illinois.

ivory. But in India the elephant is used quite
entirely for hunting and working purposes.

India build their hives in a hanging position
the limbs of trees. Very often these drop down
close to the ground and the thick underbrush
hides them from view. 1t is infrequent in
cident of these hunts an elephant to calmly
walk into of these hives and scatter the busy
inmates in all directions, whereupon the bees
quickly recover and seek revenge upon the cum-

half my men and all my ivory rotting in some dead
Nv African swamp half dead with fever, swearing
that I'm done with the business for good And some
bright day, six months, even three, the smell
of the Jungle gets into nostrils the coughing
roar of a lions challenge-and that settles the
business Bsck go again, knowing precisely what
is coming-the sweating days and the chilling
nights the torments of insects and of thirst, the
risks and hardships, and the priyations. For once
Africa has laid her spell upon man, he's hers for
ever. He'll dream of her-of the parched and bis
tered veldts he's crossed under the blazing
light; Of the nights, those moonlit haunted nights
when he's watched beside runway, waiting for the
game down to drink and listened to the

The only iron foundry in Colombia,
South America, is at Bogota. 1t is
known as La Paradera and is operated
on small scale, native ores being
smelted, the iron being subsequently
remefted for casting purposes. There
are several commercial iron deposits
in the interior of the country, and one
ore body situated near the coast Of
the Caribbean sea is now being drilled
by American engineers.
