Reply Made to RaineY.

Washington, January FLA reply to the speech delivered in the House yesterday by Representative Rainey of Illinois upon the Panama canal was made today by Representative Weeks of Massachusetts. MT. Weeks confined his remarks to Mr. Rainey's reference to the purchase of the Shawmut and Trement by the government for use by the isthmian canal commission. He declared that If the other statements in MT. Rainey's speech were no more correct than those regarding the pur- chase of the two vessels, the entire speech should be referred to the realms of fancy" He said there had been no secrecy about the transaction and strong ly resented any reflection on the integrity of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts.
 MT. Rainey declared MT. Weeks had not protested too much.' Mir Rainey re- peated his statement made yesterday, that through amendments by Senator Lodge the isthmian canal commission was com- pelled to take two ships they did not want, and that the ships in question be- longed to Senator Lodges constituents Now, with his knowledge of our mer- chant marine,' he exclaimed, Tt Is i'm possible for me to reach the conclusion that those two ships and no other two ships in all the world could be bought under his amendments"
 MT. Rainey held up to view the amend ments referred to and commenced to dis cuss them, when he was halted by the chair with the statement that he could not discuss proceedings in the Senate.
 MT. Raney later revived the subject. He declared that if the United States wanted to build the canal it should not be made the dumping ground for any thing anybody does not need any longer and wants to sell"
 Mir. Weeks replied that the ships had been sold by the Boston Steamship com pany for 50 cents on the dollar of their value, and said that If what Mir. Raine. had said was true they could under the Lodge amendments, be turned over al once to the navy serviceable colliers

Winged Burglars.

Buchner In his Psychic Life of
Animals speaks OF thievish bees
which, In order 10 save themselves the
trouble OF working. attack well
stocked hives I'm masses, kill the SEN
tinels and the inhabitants, rob the
hives and carry Off the provisions.
After repeated enterprises Of this de-
scription they acquire taste for rob-
berry and violence. They recruit whole
companies, which get more and more
numerous, and finally they form reg
ular colonies OF brlgand bees. But IL
is a still more curious fact that these
brigand bees can be produced arti-
ficially by giving working bees a mix
ture OF honey and brandy to drink.
The bees soon acquire taste for this
beverage, which has the same dlsas-
trous effect upon them as upon men.
They become III disposed and irritable
and lose all desire for work, and final.
ly, when they begin to feel hungry,
they attack and plunder the well sup
piled hives.

One Reason.

There may be two reasons for n
thing, both equally true, and 1t may
be che height Of folly to attribute the
effect to both. A gentleman TO whom
art was a strange thing asked friend
to whom the ways OF It's votaries were
more familiar:
"Why does Conneray stand Off and
half shut his eyes when he looks at
the pictures he is paintingi was I'm
his studio the other day, and he made
me do It too"
That's simply explained" replied
the other. "Dld you ever try to look
at them near TO, with your eyes wide
openI Well, don't. You can't stand
it."-Youth's Companion.

DIFFERENT STYLES.
How Meredith and Browning Might
Oeseribs the Same incident.

How Meredith and Browning Might
Describe the Same Incident.
II Browning and George Meredith
were describing the same act they
might both be obscure, but their OBJ
scurities would be entirely different
Suppose for instance. they were de-
scrihing even SO prosaic and material
an act as man Icing knocked down
stairs by another man 10 whom he
lad given the lie. Merediths descrip.
tion would refer 10 something which
an ordinary observer would not see or
ar least could not describe. Ii might
be sudden sense OF anarchy in the
brain Of the assaulter or stupefac-
tion and stunned serenity In that OF
the object OF the assault.
He might write: "Wainwood's mon
vary In veracity' brought the baronet's
arm up. He felt the doors OF his brain
burst and Wainwood n swift rushing
Of himself through air, accompanied
with clarity as OF the annihilated."
Meredith. In other words, would
speak queerly because he was describ-
ing queer mental experiences. But
Browning might simply be describing
the material incident OF the man being
knocked downstairs, and his descrip-
tion would run:
What then7 "You lie" and doormat be-

kind OF insane swiftness.-Gilbert Il.
