to their task of adjusting differences
and framing tariff compromises. They
are neither saying nor thinking spiteful
things about the White House and the
White House ia not saying or thinking
spiteful things about them. The Re-
publicans, who believe in protection
and enough Of 1t to keep out the COM
mercial invader dominate the commit
tee and they propose to keep the bill
on high protection lines. as far as, in
their Judgment, it is just and fair to
keep it so.
The cutlery of free traders that this is
unjust to the consumer and that the
Dinglcy law is being re-enacted or
even raised goes on. but it is not af-
fecting the programme in the confer
encc. The Republican conferees, in the
main. say this cry is prejudiced and
unjust, that the majority must take
the responsibility and if there be criti-
cisn the Republican party will meet It
when the time comes to appeal to the
people. They expect that when the bill
is completed and fully analysed it will
give general satisfaction to the people.
Once the President starts to analyze it

platforms in it's behalf, the leaders
think the country will begin to see the
wisdom IF the work they have done.
AND while there is much conjecture
about what the conferees will do with
the contentious in the bill it is not diff
cult to understand that there will be a
halving of differences between Senate
and House and most of these can be
pretty we'll forecasted. The President
has already agreed that the corpora
ton tax. over which there is great
hue and cry, should be reduced to l per
cent. and that there shall be no tax
upon holding companies. He takes a
personal interest in that provision
above all others because he lays claim
to some personal credit for its appear
ance in the tariff law. He will be sat
isfied with the compromises on the big
contentious in the schedules and the
conferees are already saying that such
compromises are in prospect.
Governor Burleigh has had a person.
al interview with several officials at
the postofiice department and has very
earnestly recommended that the city
mail carrier service which was inau-
gurated at HalloWell in February, be
further extended. The Governor has
been in correspondence with the de-
partment relative to the matter and
the outlook now is that his recommen-
dation will be favOrably considered.

A Good Enough Excuse.

A memorable instance of pres
ence of mind was the adventure of
a certain Desaugiers at the time Of
a popular uprising in Paris, when
the people took possession of the
Tuileries. The hero Of the incident
sagely acted upon the theory that
a poor excuse is better than none
and sometimes better than better
one would be.
He vas an inquisitive person,
and, regardless of the danger, he
FASTENED to the Tuileries at mid
night TO see what was going on.
At the gate he was stopped by two
revolut onists of ominous appear
ance. "Why do you not wear a
cockadc, citizen? Where is your
cockadc ?" they asked.
A mob gathered about him and
demanded fercely, "Citizen, where
is your cockade?"
Desaugiers took off his hat, turn
ed it around and around, looked at
it on all sides and then said in a
tone of mild surprise:
"Citizens, it is strange, very
strange! | must have left it on my
nightcap."

MERELY AN EYE WASH.
Tho Chemical View Of Tears Differs
From the Poetieal View.

Tears have their functional duty
to accomplish, like every other
fluid of the body, and the Nchrymal
gland is not placed behind the eye
simply to fill space or to give eX-
preston to emotion.
The chemical properties Of tears
consist Of phosphate of lime and
soda, making them very salty, but
never bitter. Their action on the
eye is very beneficial, and hero con-
sists their prescribed duty of the
body, washing thoroughly that SEN
sitive organ, which allows no for
cign fluid to do the same work.
Nothing cleanscs the eye like IA
good salty shower bath, and med
zeal art has followed natures law
in this respect, advocating the in
vigorating solution for any distress
cd condition of the optics. Tears
do not weaken the sight, but inn
prove it. They act as tonic on
the muscular vision. keeping the
eye soft and limpd, and it will he
noticed that women in whose eyes
sympathetic tears gather quickly
have brighter, tcndcrcr orbs than
others. Wien the pupils are hard
and cold the world attributes it to
ones disposition, which is Il mere
figure of speech implying the lack
of balmy tears that are TO the cor
nca wha. salvc is to the skin or
nourishmcnt TO the blood
The reason some women weep
more easily than others and all
more readily than the sterner sex
has not its difference in the
strength Of the tear gland, but in
the possession of a more delicate
nerve svetcm. The nerve fbcrs
about the glands yihrotc more east
ly, causing a downPour from the
watcry sac Men are not nearly SO
sensitive to emotion. Their sym
pathetic nature-that tcrni is used
in a medical scnsc--is less dcvel-
opcd, and the eye gland is therefore
protected from shocks. Consc-
quently a man should thank the
formation of his nerve nature when
he contcmptuously scorns tears as
a woman's practice. Between man
and monkey there is this essential
difference of tears-an ape cannot
weep, not so much because its emo
tionat powers are undeveloped as
the fact that the lachrymal gland
was omitted in his optical makeup.
