a large attendance Of democrats.
Each member found upon his desk a
printed copy OF the proposed bill show
ing the duties on wool and woolen
goods, comparing them with the duties in
the present law. and with the duties in
former democratic tariff bills. also carry
ing a statement of the revenues pro-
duced by the wool tarin.
AS soon as the roll was called Chair
man Underwood was recognised, his ap.
pearance being greeted with hearty
granted unlimited time in which to ex-
plain the work Of his committee, ana
started in on his speech, taking up the
proposed reductions item by item.
These he explained in great detail. an
swering questions as they were proposed
by members who desired to be enlightz
ened upon the various features.
The caucus opened with the advocates
of duty on raw wool In high hope OF
commanding a two-thirds majority for
their proposed duty Of 20 per cent ad va
loren on raw WOOL The present equiva-
lent duty Is 44.81 per cent ad valorem.
The alternative proposition 10 to remove
all duties from raw wool. this being the
plan Of William J. Bryan, becked by
n .r1ber of democrats from eastern states.
Mr. Underwood explained to the caucus
that under the present law the imports
for the year ending June 80. 1870 were
$47, ,6S7, ,283, bringing in revenue OF $21.-

FAVORS APPROPRIATION
FOR milk LABORATORY
Representative Berger Will
Work for Bill Authorizing
Transfer to District.

Representative Victor I. Berger the
socialist member of the House from Wis
consin, will work for the passage Of the
Sulzer bill authorizing the District Of CO.
lumbia to take over the Straus milk lab
oratory, and appropriating $4,000 for that
purpose.
LAS a general proposition" Mr.. Berger
said today. II am In favor Of holding the
District of Columbia down as far as ap-
propriations are concerned, for 4 do not
believe that the poor people Of New York.
Chicago st. Louis and other cities should
Belmont and other wealthy men who
make their homes in Washington could
letter afford to pay.
Why Berger Favors Bill.
But I am in favor Of this bill permit
ting the District to take over the Straus
milk laboratory, not only from humani-
tartan point of view and as a socialist.
but also looking at it from a purely busi-
ness point Of view. We spend millions
Ss dollars learning how best to care for
%oung pigs, horses, sheep and other
kinds of animals We have a great
bureau of animal industry in the De-
partment of Agriculture to do that work.
Why should we not have In Washington
bureau to teach mothers how to care
for babies?
The amount asked. $4,000. Is ridicu-
lously small when the good that may be
done IL taken into consideration. Say
that q horse is worth $500. / believe that
young American is worth 100 horses,
or $4,000 and he would be cheap at that.
IL only 200 babies are saved each year
in Washington by the continuation OF
this milk laboratory q great work will
have been done. Also the lessons learned
from the laboratory in regard to the
proper food for babies and their care win
be Of inestimable value, not only to the
mothers in Washington. but TO those In
every city in the Union
Appropriation Urged.
An eloquent appeal for favorable re-
port on the bill which passed the Senate
May 16. authorizing the acceptance by
the federal government Of the Nathan

GOOD WORK WELL SUPPORTED
People Are Liberal In Their Contriku-
tions to Young Mems Christian
Associations.

This year Young Mems Christian as
sociat1ons are likely, it is said, to
break all records in amount of money
raised for new buildings. The success
at Philadelphia, when $1,000 900 was
secured in twelve days, has given slim
ulus both to Young Mems and Young
Women's associations. Added to it
was the 100000 campaign for build
ings in foreign capitals. Brooklyn
women, with the aid of a few men,
have just secured $415,O00; Atlanta
men, 100000; Reading, $217,OOO;
Elyria, Ohio, $4,000, where the COM
mittee asked for but 100000; Charles
ton, S. c., $150,0O0; Raleigh, N. c.,
$4,000; Walla Walla, Wash, $4,000,
and Ishpeming, Mich, $22,50O. Associ-
alton leaders say three things help
them in getting these large sums:
Christian unity, a short and public ap-
peal. and real results accomplished in
buildings already erected.

Bella leaned back and vawned

Bella leaned back and yawned.
James, shall l go?" she asked
amiably.
Nonsense" Jim said, pulling him
self together as best he could. Look
here. Aunt Selma, you know she can't
go out, and what's more, don't
want her to co.
"You-what?" Aunt Selma screech-
ed, taking step forward You have
the audacity to say such a thing to
mel"
Bella leaned over and gave the
fire log a punch.
II was Just saying that he shouldn't
say such things to me, either" she
remarked pleasantly. I'm afraid
you'll take cold, Miss Caruthers.
Wouldn't you like hot sherry f1ip?"
Aunt Selma gasped. Then she sat
down heavily on one of the carved
teakwood chairs.
"He said he loved you; l heard
him. she said weakly. "He-he was
going to put his arm around you!"
Habit" Jim put in, trying to smile.
"You see, Aunt Selma, it's-well, it's
habit got into some time ago, and
I-my arm does 1t without my think
ing about It,"
Habit" Aunt Selma repeated,
her voice thick with passion. Then
she turned to me. go to your room
at once!" she said in her most awful
tone. go to your room and leave
this-this shocking affair to me-"
But If she had reached her limit, so
had I. II Jim chose to ruin himself,
1t was not my fault. Any one with
common sense would have known at
least to close the door before he
went down on his knees, no matter to
whom. So when Aunt Selma turned
on me and pointed in the direction of
the staircase, l did not move.
II am perfectly wide awake" l said
coldly. Il shall go to bed when I
am entirely ready. and not before.
And as for Jim's conduct, l do not
know much about the conventions In
such cases, but If he wishes to en-
brace Miss Knowles, and she wants
him to, the situation Is interesting,
but hardly novel,"
Aunt Selma rose slowly and drew
the folds of her dressing gown around
her, away from the contamination of
my touch.

trously at Bella. AS for her, quite
suddenly she had dropped her mask
of Indifference. Her face was strain
ed and anxious, and there were deep
circles l had not seen before, under
her eyes. And it was Bella who final
ally threw herself into the breach
the family breach
''It is all my fault, Miss Caruthers,"
she said stepping between Aunt Sc
lima and myself 'I have been a blind
and wicked woman, and l have almost
wrecked two lives"
Two! What of mine? :.
You see," she struggled on, against
the CLINT in Aunt Selina's eyes. Il
did not realize how much l cared, un-
til it was too late. I did SO many
things that were cruel and wrong
OH Jim, JIM! !"
She turned and buried her head on
his shoulder and cried; real tears.
I could hardly believe that it was
Bella. And Jim put both his arms
around her and almost cried, too, and
looked nauseatingly happy with the
eye he turned to Bella, and scared to
death out of the one he kept on Aunt
Selma.
She turned on me, as of course l
knew she would.
That" she said, pointing at Jim
and Bella, that shameful picture is
due to your own Indifference. l am
not blind: I have seen how you re-
jected all his loving advances" Bella
drew away from, Jim, but he jerked
her back. eff anything in the world
would reconcile me to divorce, it is
this unbelievable situation. James,
are you shameless?"
But James was and didn't care who
knew it. And as there was nothing
else to do, and no one else to do it,
l stood very straight against the door
frame, and told the whole miserable
story from the very beginning. l told
! how Dal and Jim had persuaded me,
and how l had weakened and found it
was too late, and how Bella had come
! in that night, when she had no busi-
ness to come, and had sat down in the
| basement kitchen on my hands and

My sense of injury grew on me. I
made it perfectly clear that 1 hated
them ALL and that when people got
divorces they ought to know their
own minds and stay divorced. And at
that great light broke on Aunt Sc
lima who hadn't understood until that
minute.
In view of her principles, she might
have been expected to turn on Jim
and Bella, and disinherit them, and
cast them out, figuratively, with the
flaming sword of her tongue. But she
did not! She turned on me In the

CRIMINAL NEGLECT
OF SKIN AND HAIR
memory!

Cuticura Soap and Ointment do so
much for poor compilations, red,
rough hands, and dry, thin and fall
ing hair, and cost so little that it is
almost criminal not to use them.
Think Of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause Of flguration-physical be-
cause of pain. Think Of the pleasure
of clear skin, soft white hands and
good hair. These blessings are often
only a matter of a little thoughtful,
timely care, viz.:-warm baths with
Cuticura Soap, assisted when neces-
sary by gentle anointings with Cuti-

the hose and did the housework when
necessary and sat up patiently and
waited for hubby's return. A useful
person certainly-one to love, to hon
or and obey.

hibited in museums.
