HOUSE WATCHED
THIS SESSION

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 10
Now that the holiday recess is over
and congress has gotten down to bust
ness with no further vacation periods
IN sight, one of the most interesting
situations in the history of the house
of representatives is gradually reveal
ing itself
Within few days it will be known
whether the :nsurgent republicans in
the lower house will make any serious
effort to change the ironclad rules of
that body at this session.
Never before, within the recollection
of the oldest member, has the floor of
the house been so closely watched
There is not second when two or
more republican leaders are not pres
ent to block any attempt to break
debate that might lead to unpleasant
consequences for the regulars Every
minute of time during each days pro-
ceedings is accounted for in advance
to Speaker Cannon and he knows be-
fore any member obtains the floor
what his purpose is.
An interesting feature of the situa-
ton is the series of annoyanceS to
which the insurgents have been sub
jected. They lost their places on every
important committee of the house after
their fight on Cannon and they are
being made to feel the weight of the
steam roller in other ways.
At the White House they are al
lowed to cool their heels for an in
definite time and are then informed
that the president really cannot see
them today. "Come again, next week.
or the week after, and maybe the
president will not be so busy Secre-
tary Carpenter informs them. Those
who are thus dealt with have a very
decided feeling that they have been

Then, too, it has been decided that

are particularly fond of coal, charcoai
and all kinds of ashes. Young pigs
by themselves that have never before
seen or tasted of coal will eat it like
candy when once they get at the coal
pile, or when some is fed to them IN
the pen. They will likewise eat coal
ashes and cinders with almost as good
appetite.
The pure mineral matter in coal
and ashes is what hogs want when
they eat them. A large drove of hogs
will clean up a ton of coal within
few DAYS and the amount of ashes
and cinders they will eat is very great
So strong is the appetite for mineral
matter and so much coal will they
eat when they are supplied with an
unlimited quantity that some feeders
are afraid that the animals will eat
too much for their good, but We have
never known hogs to be injured in the
least by eating all they wanted Of
either coal or ashes.
In feeding wood ashes, however, 1t
is not best to mix them with Stops, as
in that case the animals are likely
to take more than they naturally would
if the ashes were given by themselves.
Wood ashes are very alkaline and too
great quantities eaten by a hog Will
injure the stomach and intestines, de-
stroying the lining. 1t is we'll to mix
some salt with the ashes, but not too
much salt Salt and ashes are good
worm destroyer for swine, and the
mixture should be fed regularly and
frequently to both pigs and older hogs.
Slack and cheaper grades of soft
coal are as good for hog feeding as
the better grades. Charcoal can be
made by burning corncobs, covering
them with earth before they burn out

places that are filled by the president,
without consulting the insurgent mem
bers.
The most pointed intimation has
gone out from the White house that
until the insurgents get into line they
may hope in vain for the chance to
tap the barrel of federal patronage.
The president has given his sanction
tt this scheme of cutting off the per-
quisites of the insurgent members as
club to whip them into line, with the
explanation that he desires that his
program. of legislation shall not be
Ijeopardized by schism within the
ranks of the majority, wlen just few
derelictions might give the democrats
a chance to step in and do mean
things with that anti trust and railroad
regulation scheme.
Thus it is that census enumerators,
roStmasters, and other appointments
usually considered the private proper
ty of representatives are being filed
without consulting the insurgents. In
some cases, the fighters against the
rules are subjected to the humiliation
of having it reported in their districts
that their usefulness at Washington
is at an end, and that they cannot get
anything from the administration. All
this counts with the purely machine
vote.

What truly delightful thing is
really comfortable bed. And yet how
few housekeepers deem it necessary to
achieve a unique reputation on this
point.
1t is true that no two people hold ex-
actly the same ideas on the actual bed
making. but in spite of this every
housewife who prides herself on her
home should be guided by the same
care of beds and bedding.
The actual bedstead nowadays pre-
sents a problem as to shape and ma
terial. and where a few years ago
everyone invested in japanned iron
model, sometimes relieved with brass
ornaments, we now have the joy of
contemplating the contrasting charms
of every kind of wood, iron, brass,
nickel and plated metal.
There is a decided fascination about
these last mentioned bedsteads, and I
am certain that many brides would Sc
lect the electro plated bedstead in
preference to the one of brass, which
few years ago represented the sum
nit of their ambitions.
There is also very much to be said
in faVcr Of the wooden bedStead, pro-
vided it be selected to match the suite,
but whatever be the material chosen,
would strongly advise the purchase of
two single bedsteads in preference to
the double one. Nowadays, the GUS
tom of separate beds is decidedly
oenIza the common sense view of their
utility.
