Measure to Senate Without
Any Recommendation.

The Canadian reciprocity bill was act
ed upon today by the Senate finance COM
mittee and will be reported Tuesday
without recommendation. The Root
amendment to the print paper and wood
pulp provision was adopted by the COM
mittee by vote of to 6.
An attempt to authorize an unfavorable
report resulted in tie vote and another
tie marked the effort to report without
Recommendation before that result was
accomplished.
The votes on the measure were a sur
prise to members of the Senate. 1t had
been generally believed that the finance
committee would shift responsibility to
the Senate, leaving the real fight to be
waged on the floor. AT the last moment
the opposition In the committee seemed
to solldify.

The committee met In executive session
today. and Immediately proceeded to vote
on amendments. The first modification
offered was by Senator Nelson OF Mime
sofa, which would have reduced instead
Of removing duties on live stock and farm
products. This was defeated without a
roll call. and the same fate was meted
out to the House free list bill. The lat
ter provision was formally offered by
Senator Bailey, and received only his vote
and those Of Mr.. Simmons and Mr.. Kern.
An amendment by Mr.. Simmons to in
clude flour and meats in the free list also
was voted down.
The Root amendment requiring the ad-
mission OF American wood pulp and pa

vote stood g to 8. and on the succeeding
motion for an unfavorable report there
was q tie OF to Z.
The same result at nrst followed a mo-
ton for report without recommended
tion, but Senators Gallinger. Bailey and
Simmons. who at first cast their ballots
In the negative. ultimately changed and
thus allowed the bill to go to the Senate
without recommendation whatever by a
vote OF 10 to 4. Senator johnson of
Maine was absent.
Senator Williams Of Mississippi then
moved that Chairman Penrose be aY-
thorized to report the bill at today's ses-
sion of the Senate. but the motion re-
ceived only the votes OF Messrs. Will
uams. Stone and Kern. Several minority
reports are expected, and as 1t was de-
sired that they should be presented with
the majority report 1t was decided to
postpone until Tuesday the presentation
Of any Of them.

The Wonderful Bible.

The Bible is not book. 1t is a Ii.
brary of sc different books, written
in it's present form by 40 or so diff
ferent writer's, but contributed to by
many more. Its earliest book-the
Book of the Covenant, containing
the present book of Exodus-was
written ten or twelve centuries before
Christ, the Gospel of John, one OF
the latest, was written at the close
of the first or the beginning of the
second century after Christ. Thus
for not less than 1000 or 1,2OO
years was this library in process OF
formation. 1t contains all that is
best in the literature OF an ancient
people which has survived the wrecks
of time. In it are found history, BIZ
ography, law, both political and &C.
clesiastical; fiction, poetry, drama,
political ethics, practical theology.
Art, music and science are conspicu-
ously absent, as is philosophy, ex-
cept in the latter portion of the New
Testament, where it is philosophy
used for practical purposes and ap.
piled to practical problems.-Lyman
Abbott in Outlook.

Hints to the Beauty Seekers.

When the warm sunshine lures one
out of doors these hot days there
is liable to be a surprise, when, upon
the return, the mirror disclOses a
healthy crop of freckles the warm
wind and sunshine have scattered
over the face. Freckles are not al
ways a disfiguring mark; in fact. they
are regarded by some as being dis
tinctly chic and individual, especially
when a retrousse nose and flashing
eye are the background. But the ma
jorlty of women view their coming
with alarm and search their beauty
book for a quick remedy.
A benZoin and hazel lotion, COM
posed of Is drops of tincture OF ben
zoin, 15 drops of hamamelis water
and l ounce of orange flower water is
often effective. If the skin is rough
or inclined to peel q good cream is
made of 4 dr.. of tincture of benzoin,
| dr.. of fluid extract of hamamelis,
20 or. of zinc oxide, l DIR. OF glycerine
or bOric acid and l OF. of rose water.
Still another remedy is salycilic acid
5 gr., borax 10 gr. and water | OF.
All of these remedies are for the
periodical freckles due to weather
conditions. They are discolorations
on the surface of the skin and yield
readily to treatment.
For the deeper or permanent varie-
ty peroxide OF hydrogen in a solu-
tion three times as strong as that
used for bleaching the hair Is the
only certain cure. Hydrogen perox.
ide is explosive and should be used
only under the instructions OF a med

They Didn't Smell Like Penitents.

A typical old-time "circuit rider, "
who died recently in Alabama, will
long be remembered by his flock for
the familiarity with which he ad-
dressed the Lord in prayer.
1t is said that On one occasion he
had been preaching in a log meeting
house in the pine woods of North
Alabama. There we're several young
fellows on hand who had been cele-
brating by patronizing a still near
by. After a long, fiery sermon, the
preacher made a call for mourners,
and soon the rude altar was filled
mostly by the aforementioned
young fellows. The old man looked
them over for q moment, and with
keen intuition felt that it was a
clark" on the boys part, but he
knelt to pray,
ooh, Lord" he began, ''here's a
crowd OF young fellows kneelin round
your altar. They've been cussin'
and swearin' and drinkin' their time
away in riotous living; but they've
come up here seemingly penitent.
They look like penitents, Lord, and
l hope they are. They weep like pen
itents, Lord, and / hope you'll for.

Can Your Fruit and Vegetables.

The Charlotte Chronicle points out
in the following way the advantages
there are in canning fruit and vege-
tables at home and also the econo-
my there is in the home canning pro-
cess: "We would be afraid to attempt
to say, but at a rough guess, the
South raises fruits and vegetables
enough to feed the United States for
o period of at least four months
through which these fruits and vege-
tables largely grow. If the surplus
only we're canned and properly put
upon the market, it would yield a
great income for these products OF
The soil. But, as matter OF fact,
not enough of these Southern prod
ucts are canned to supply the home
markets. Vast sums of money are
sent out of the different Southern
States annually to buy canned goods
which are put up in the North. The
right beginning is for each farmer to
get home canning outfit and go TO
work. After supplying the home
and then selling the surplus, it will
be time enough to look up the big
canning factory business. They say
that in Catawba county, emitting
what is done in the kitchens, there
are fifty home canning outfits which
operate each year. The consequence
is, we are told, that the importation
of canned goods has been enormous
/ ly reduced and the home merchants
are now looking to the homemade
goods for their supply for the sea-
son. What is the use OF sending
money to the North to buy goods
that can be beteer raised and as vel
canned at home? The soil and the
climate are both here in the South
favorable to a splendid business OF
magnificent production OF vegeta
! bles and fruits.

Evens up With the Old lien.

The Newton Enterprise tells how a
young doctor in Catawba got even
with an old hen for eating up the
corn that he had planted. The doc
tor planted a few rows of very val
liable roasting ear corn in his gar
den. When he had finished planting
it he discovered to his horror a hen
had followed him taking the corn
row by row and had completely
swiped the corn. He caught that
hen and with his pocket knife made
an incision in her craw, removed the
corn, replanted it and with a needle
and thread, sewed up the incision
made by the knife, and now both the
hen and the corn are doing nicely.

A Mammoth Apple Tree.

Wilkes county claims to have the
biggest apple tree in the world. The
Wilkes Patriot says that Messrs. j.
B. and II. W. Horton discovered an
old apple tree some days ago, on
the Newton Gentry farm, in Traphill
township, which they believe to be
the largest apple tree in the world.
The tree, at its base, is 16 feet and 5
inches in circumference Eight feet
above the ground, at the first limbs,
the tree is II feet and 5 inches in cir
cumference. This would make it, at
the base, something over . feet in di-
ameter. At one time the limbs ex-
tended for 80 feet on all sides, but a
heavy sleet broke them off some
years ago, and now it has a growth
of new and vigorous limbs. Specu
lation can only guess the age OF the
tree, though it is known to be more
than 100 years old. The tree bears
almost every year, a large crop o
splendidly favored, good keeping
apples. A single crop has frequenti,
been estimated at near fifty bushels

Work Brings Happiness.

Lives there the man who has not
sighed for leisure? And lives there
the man, who, in his more sober mo-
ments, has not been honestly glad
that he must work? Human nature,
which sweetens under toll, sours in
leisure. And it is by no means sure
that the fall from innocence which
first brought work into the world,
land all our woe," was not bringing
salvation disguised as labor. Faith
fulness will dignity and beautify even
drudgery; no matter what the work
is. provided that it is honest, if it is
done we'll, it commands our infinite
respect. Besides, if we did not all
have to work so hard to keep alive,
the iails would have standing room

President Diaz Beats an Ignomi-
nous Retreat.

Parfrio DiaZ, for whom during
the past thirty years all Mexico has
stood aside, early on last Friday
morning, under cover of darkness
and with hat in hand, SO to speak,
silently and secretly stole away from
the Mexican capital perhaps never to
return. Only a few friends whom he
dared to trust, followed him to the
station at 2 o'clock in the morning,
shortly after the noisy celebration
over his resignation had partly
quieted down. Diaz was bound for
Vera Cruz to take the ship for Spain.
In the distance he could hear the
voices of few of the more enthusi-
astic citizens who were still acclaim
ing to the new President, Francisco
Leon De La Brara, shouting "Viva
Madero.i'
So carefully we're the arrangements
made for the abdicated President's g
escape that the news did not trans
pire until late Friday afternoon. Sc
crecy was due less to apprehension
OF a popular outburst than a desire
to reach Vera Cruz, before Maraduers
along the route could learn of the
trip. Travel between Mexico City
and Vera Cruz is over the Mexican
Railroad, astandard guage line with
modern equipment. Rails along the
route, however, frequently have
been removed OF late by bandits,
who were determined that Diaz, for
reasons best known to themselves
should not leave the capital.
They are reported to have har.
bored the idea that Dlaz would fol-
tow the precedent Of other Latin.
American presidents and carry the
| National funds with him.
There is also a narrow guage rail
road to the coast. Taking it fol
granted that Diaz would take the
moro luxurious route the bandits did
not molest the narrow guage road
For this reason it was chosen by
Diaz for his trip.
The Inauguration OF De La Barra
as provisional president OF the Mexi
can Republic took place Friday, and
the reins of government at once
passed into entirely new hands.
