ANOTHER NEaLnOrED sInrHDAy.

ANOFhBM NEsfLEIfED otHFnDAt.
 We can't say how 1t was with the Scotch of this country, but the gem erai public doubtless forgot that last Monday was the bIrthdAy of Robert Burns. one of the finest lyric poets Of his time. He was born January 2s. i7ss. and though century and a half have passed since his eyes first opened on the world hts poems and songs are as popular now as ever. He was essentially the poet of the people, for he was one of them. and delighted to write Of the humble lives of those among whom he was born and reared. In the words Of The Kansas City Jour nal. however:
 No None can thoroughly understand matched palace at Ayr. and on the mausoleum. at Dumfries where Burns scotch isssis. Jears,- and where he and Mary piighted their troth across the brook; and, above all. no one can not stood In the. ereenock churchyar ling ring star of purest ray serene, sSt sFG@ tSs Ps Ss Gf her rspos S thorough understanding. by any means, but at least q new ilumina- shs " oss sasS s s sssnns 0e of R ssy storied. paths. the lover of Burns must sd eesa eojnpe UP up the sss of fnS his tme as best he can. before he can arrive at anything like ah adequate. or accu- aaS asbieseements this son who has endeared iiimseif to the universal heart of the world
 II may be that one cannot thor oushiy understand Burns who has not become familiar with the local eviron- ments In which he lived and wrote. but none the less is he loved. As The Man chester Union expresses it. 'the poet of Alloway sang of and for the common people of any and all times. He knew from experience the life of the labor ing poor. He had sympathetic un- derstanding of their condition. and an honest admiration for their virtues. The human element is intensely pres ent In his songs. and for this the world Spves them. Farm and factory and mine, pioneer settlement and crowded metropoiis--wherever men and women are accustomed to hard toll and severity ip the struggle for existence. Burns is the poet who Is most generally known. and who holds the place nearest the peoples heart. The story os his life is familiar one. and he is loved even for his very. frsiIties. He has a song for every mood. He laughs with those who, laugh. and mourns with those who mourn. He does not, like Shakes peare. ocsthe and Milton. command awe and reverence: but he does com- mand that which is not accorded to any one of those three--genuine. hu- man love-

sExpuneinx'' speeches.

Washington Corespondencs of Brooklyn Eagle.
 The. business of expuneing object Iynsble remarks from the consressionaif Tsscord Is much like the process, of the ostrich In hiding Its head In the sand. About the only good served by this proceeding is Q give additional emphasis and proninence 10 the offensive phraseoiogy in the permanent records of the proceedings of Consress.
 This point was raised by Champ Clark. Representative Fitzgerald and other mem bers of the House durinE the sqtiaeble which took place to rule out of the Record the speech of Mr. Wfliett- The Dcmocrhts insisted that the objectionable words should be included in the resolution of fnvestga- ton. and when they were overruied on this point they made It clear that the whole process of expunging remarks ls sonothing of farcs. A speech which ts deemed a violation of the privileges of debate may be in the journal of the proceedings of the day it was delivered. but. of course, 1t will figure in all the discussion Incident to ex- punging it and thereby usually atfains more prominence than the original record.
 When the committee appointed by speak. CT Cannon to investigate the Wiiieft speech reports to the House it win bring In . long resolution setting forth that the Long sl. and member has violated the privileges ef speech should be wiped from. the record Then 1t will cite the objectionable portions to. prove the violation of priviiess. The matter will be talked over more or less extensively. so that sections of the speech which excited, disapproval will be dlstribut- ed over several pages of the Record. Then the House will take a vote and order the speech eliminated. but t will be there just the same.

PRESSED HARD
coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the In
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring. they
are glad to lend their testimony for
! the benefit OF Others
A superintendent Of public schools
In one Of the southern states says;
my mother, since her early child
hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained OF
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
"Some time ago I was making an OFF,
cial visit to a distant part Of the coun-
try and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the place. / noticed a
somewhat peculiar favour Of the cor
fee, and asked him concerning a. He
replied that it was Postum.
II was so pleased with It, that after
the meal was over, / bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were SO well pleased
with 1t. that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
II had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time. she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use. and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach: that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she vas as well
and hearty as The rest OF us.

gree as in the case OF my mother. as
