postal savings roy, The ardent hope
of the regular republicans is 10 limit all
amendments on the postal savings bill
to those reported from the committee
on post offices where the bill was made
up. Ii this can be done it will he but
a matter OF II fey days before the bill
can be put through tie House.
The House committee on rules today
sent into the House rule that no
amendments be considered by House
on the pos1als savings bank bill except
one by the minority 10 substitute the
entire minority bill for the pending bill.
General debate on the bill is limited.
by the order, TO eight hours and after Il
vote on the minority amendment no
motion shall be in order except one 10
recommit the bill. Failing this the
bill is to come up for passage. This
would limit consideration of the bill TO
one day. The rule is sure 10 be fought
bitterely by the insurgents. The lnsur-
gents, despite the excitement of the
railroad bill fight. arc engaged over the
rule. By granting the minority the
chance to substitute their bill the ma
jority seems to have insured their sup
port OF the gag rule. :" This arrange
ment absolutely cuts the insurgents OH
from amendments and does not even
give them much chance 10 talk.
The minority members OF the House
committee on postotfice and post road.
with the exception of Mr.. Moon, today
filed report Directing to the postal
savings banks bill as reported out Of
the republican caucus. Almost the
entire report of tie minority is devoted
to criticism against the provision in the

Habits of Seals.

The habits Of seals are very interest
Ing. The very young seal Is helpless
in the water until he is taught By his
mother to swim. She takes him into
the water daily on her fin and dumps
him in and when he gets tired or
laundering about places him on her
fin again and returns to her camp.
When the young seals are we'll grown
they suddenly disappear with their
mothers and the bull seals. NO one
knows where they go, and their return
is equally as sudden as their departure
The bulls are the first to put III an
appearance at the camping ground.
When they arrive they commence at
once to prepare camp for their mates,
which they stake off and for which
they fight until they die. In the mean-
time the female seals remain quite q
distance from land, floating lazily on
the water and seemingly having a
good time.

Auntino TruffIes as Sport.

Quite apart from the interest OF
fungi to the naturalist the temptation
cannot here be resisted to refer to
method of procuring one kind Of fun
gus, which might take rank among the
minor sports. This is the fashion,
originating in France, of procuring the
truffle By the aid Of swine and hounds.
More i'll assorted sporting companions
can hardly be imagined. The trut1le
grows underground. Pigs are paruc-
ularly fond of these delicacies and,
guided by the scent, Will discover
them by roofing in the earth. After
the discovery Of the trutfles the dogs
are employed to beat back the pigs
and prevent them from deTouring the
spoil. And every quality dear to the
sportsman Of skill and judgment Is
needed to control and obtain the de-
sired result from the efforts OF q herd
of swine and pack of hounds.-Lon-
don Outlook.

Jfmmy's Recitation.
Jimmy Is one Of the most enthusias-
tic members Of his Sunday school. he
Is usually very quiet, but when, soon
after he Joined. a storm prevented
many members Of his class from COM
ing to take their parts in a long
planned entertainment Jimmy could
not endure in silence the distress OF his
teacher.
"Hi can speak q piece" he said bash
fully.
ooh, can you? What is it about"
"Bout the beasts that went with
Noah"
"Well, said the distracted teicher. II
haven't time to hear 1t noi@, but l
think it ought to help fill up. Thank
you, Jimmy"
When Jimmy's name was called the
small man mounted the platform, put
his hands in his pockets and proudly
and loudly spouted the following:
The helix and the helephant hentered the
bark
When the helephant hopened the bail.
The helix hasked the helephant, WHATS
to heat?"
Said the helephant, LAY Is hail."
The helix and the helephant hate the 'ay;
Said the helix, with q heloquent sigh.

CoYote and Jack Rabbit.

The speed of the jack rabbit has al
ways been proverbial among western
men, like the speed Of a coyote. In
straightaway race it is claimed that
the jack rabbit can distance the coyote,
but he usually falls victim to the
coyotes superior Intelligence. The ia
vorite coyote method for catching jack
rabbits is for one Of the animals to
start jack and attend to the work OF
keeping the victim on the run, While
the other coyote sits down, patiently
awaiting the arrival OF his dinner
The jack rabbit when he has q free
range will run in circles, and the
COYOTES cleverly count on this habit,
Before long tie rabbit will arrive at
the place from which he started, and
there coyote No. 2, fresh and ready
for a short sprint, will swoop down
upon him and then divide the meal
with the coyote that hns done the ac-
tuaI chasing.-New York Press.

Ant Eaters.

Ant eaters are in the curious posi-
ton Of being practically unable to open
their mouths. 1t may almost be said,
indeed, that they have no mouths TO
open. There is just small, round
orifice at the end of the snout, through
which about two feet Of Worml1ke
tongue can wrlggle out, and as this
tongue is bathed with liquid glue in
stead Of saliva every ant which 1t
touches adheres to it, and the animal
licks the insects up by hundreds at
time.
