Washington. April 1s.-The bill
relating to the liability OF common
carriers by railroads passed by the
House OF Representatives on April s
was passed by the Senate without
amendment and without division.
The Senate bill on the subject was
not confined to railroads, but covered
all forms OF common carriers. and Sem
ator Dolliver, who had reported It
from the committee on education and
labor, sought to substitute 1t for the
House bill. The motion was defeated.
Numerous amendments were offered.
to the bill, but all were voted down.
As passed the bill is expected to meet
the objections of the United States
supreme court to the common carrier
liability law of 1906 decided to be UNI
constitutional by the court.
No "contributory Negligence"
The bill abolishes the strict COM
mon law liability which bars a re-
covery for personal injury or death OF
gence Of a fellow servant. 1t also re-
lakes the common law rule which
makes contributory negligence a de-
Tense to claims for such injuries and
permits an employee to recover for an
injury caused by. the negligence OF a
~co-employe.
The bill does not bar ecove even
though the injured one contributed by
his own negligence to the injury. The
amount of the recovery is diminished
in the same degree that the negligence
of the injured one contributed to The
injury.
During the discussion of the meas
ura there We're extended references to
campaign contributions by railroad
men, and especially to the Hartman
contribution to the republican am
paign fun of 1904.
Senate Bill Tabled.
Because the Senate bill did not spec
ify the cause for the injury or death
of the employee, Senator Nelson, of
be pronounced unconstitutional. The
bill would make the company liable
for injury or death whether 1t related
to the service or not.
BY Il vote of 36 to Fl a motion by
Senator Dolliyer to substitute the Sem
ate for the House bill was laid on
the table.
Senator Carter made a strong plea
that the Senate should confine this leg
fslation to railroads., as was done by
the House bill, and should not enter
upon the ancient field of commerce on
~shlpboard, as might be contemplated
by the Senate bill.
amend the House bill by inserting the
words, "All questions of fact relating
to negligence shall be for the Jury to
determine" was defeated after Sen
ator Dolliver said it was intended to
be a suggestion to judges that they
were to leave the questions OF fact to
juries and not invade their province,
as he said had become the practice Of
some Judges who undertake to instruct
jurieS In that respect"

To Preserve Snap Beans.

While the Bulgarians have produced
no specially noted Gordon bleus, they
are people OF faculty" and know
how TO make the most of their some
what meager food supplies. In the
cooking Of beans, fresh or dried. they
can even give points to Bostonian.
They have unique way OF putting
up snap beans for winters use, easy
and excellent as TO results The beans
are picked when just tender, "snappy"
age. are washed clean. strung and
broken into inch pieces as though
ready for cooking. Now the housewife
threads a coarse needle with strong
thread, and in a jiffy strings the pieces
OF broken beans on the thread As
soon as a generous loop is made II is
hung in the sunshine TO dry.
When perfectly dry II is laid away
from the dust until ready for use.
Then take as many as desired. soak
in lukewarm water several hours. and
cook the same as fresh beans.

Baths Of Lemonade,

The very latest thing in Paris is the
lemonade bath. 1t is supposed to be
cooling, refreshing and beneficial.
A pretty Partisan actress has instl
tuted the fashion Of letting her friends
see her take lemonade plunge. In a
charming directoire bathing dress,
with her hair tied up in yellow rib
bons. she sat and received her guests
in white tub draped with yellow and
filled with lemonade, with pieces of
lemon peel foaing about on the sur
face.
A glass OF iced lemonade was given
TO each guest, and for those who
would join in the novelty lemonade
baths were arranged and directoire
bathing dresses provided.
1t is scarcely likely that this form
of the bath will ever become really
popular, but as an advertising scheme
for young actress 1t is certainly far
better than lost jewels.-New York

FIRST PORTRAIT OF oPIE's.
Accepted Beating in Order to In.
sure Its Success.

John Opie, the English painter, is
described as man of humble origin,
VINO achieved success wholly by his
own genius and perseverance. The
story of his first effort In that line of
art which srterward brought him fame
he related 10 Coke, first earl of Leices,
ter of Holkham, as follows:
When small boy of ten or twelve
he was left at home one Sunday after.
noon with his father. while his moth
er went to church. The father estab-
lished himself in the parlor with his
Bible, and told the boy to be quiet
and amuse himself
Young Opie, who had procured some
paints, took up a position unobserved
in the kitchen, directly opposite the
parlor door. Very quietly he drew a
portrait Of the old man bending over
his Bible, until he had finished every
thing except the head, when he began
running backward and forward to
study his fathers face.
The old gentleman grew very angry
at these apparently senseless Interrupt
uons and threatened TO punish his
son If they continued.
This was exactly what the boy want.
ed, as he wished TO paint his fathers
eye lii up and sparkling with anger.
So he continued his irritating behav-
Tor until It met with the desired re-
suit, and his father, Justly wrathful,
administered a sound thrashing.
This achieved, the boy resumed his
task eagerly, and transferred to his
picture the expression which he had
just seen upon the face OF his indig-
nant parent.
When his mother returned from
church, he placed the picture tri.
umphanuy before her: but although
astonished and delighted with II, she
thought II her duty to scold her son
severely for painting on a Sunday
Young Opie, however, cared no more
for the scolding than for the beating
he had received in accomplishing his
work, and only hugged his mother de
ightedly in his excitement at its sue,
cess.
His father coming into the room at
this juncture. and spying the portrait
OF himself. was so surprised and
pleased at II that he told the mother
not tc scold the boy any more
Subsequently, whenever the picture
was shown. he used TO tell with great
relish the story OF young Opie's plucky
acceptance Of beating in order to in
sure its success.-Youth' Companion
