Reciprocity and Revision.

4U.
Reciprocity and Revision.
The new congress will be called to
pass the reciprocity agreement, which
is not expected to reach vote in the
present senate, but the Democrats
have decided, in addition to passing
this agreement, to revise the wool,
lumber, steel, and food products sche-
dulles of the present law and forward
this revision to the senate for action.
Hundreds of New Faces.
A CHEEKY, hopeful throng Of indi-
viduals, gripsacks in hand, and with
hotel and boarding house addresses in
their minds, will come trooping into
Washington during March to furnish
the capital the always interesting pro-
cession of new faces. All in the space
of a few days new leaders will come
into power, and fresh from the great
country at large, the newly-elected
statesmen will assume their duties.
President Taft will turn on the cur
rent, and legislative wheels will re-
sumo their grind.
UDle Joe on the Floor.
Merely hastened by few months in
its convening, the new congress will
settle itself and start forward. The
political upheaval of last November,
when a Republican majority of 40 in
the house was changed to Demo-
cratic majority of 81, will witness it's
consummation In the senate there
will be on the Democratic side total
of fl members, as against the pres
ent strength of %. In the house "Un-
.ele Joe" Cannon will occupy regular
zseat on the floor and gaze upward to
@seek recognition OF Champ Clark as
speaker, just as he used to do in the
days of Henderson, Crisp, Reed, and
all the old monarchs of the gavel. Mr.
CLARK will, for the first time, WELD the
speakers mallet, with Oscar Under
wood, Of Alabama, as the party man
ager on the floor The important re-
ports from the ways and means COM
mittee will come into the house by
another door, and the secret confer
ence of leaders will be held in an
other cloakroom.
Democratic Plans Arranged.
The Democrats of the next house
will enter the extra session with many
of their reorganization plans fully
sha ped and ready for application. Tn
like the stirring times of the Demo-
cratic ascent TO power in the Fifty
second congress, 20 years ago, after
the Republican cataclysm following
the passage Of the Mckinley tariff bill,
there will be no speakershin Wrangle.
In caucus last month the Democrats
voted the gayel to Champ Clark, OF
Missouri, and selected their share OF
the committee which is to take in
regard 10 tariff revision. There will
be complete absence Of the turmoil
which surrounded the choice OF Crisp

A GLIMPSE OF YOURSELF.
Get It by Reading a Cosby Letter
You Wrvte Years Aoo.

Set u by neaoin0 SoSeipy IoStor
You Wrste Years Ago.
There Is nothing more interesting,
than to come across unexpectedly an
intimate and gossipy letter that one
wrote oneself ten or fifteen years ago.
IN reading such Il letter one Is looking
ut oneself from the outside. The proc
esq Is good deal like looking out Of
the window and seeing oneself so past
in the crowd. The strange part of the
matter is that In reading such docu-
ment one is generally filed with sort
Of pity for the fellow who wrote it.
He seems to have been rather uncer-
tain Of himself. He CROPPED for his
facts and his IDEAS. Evidently he did
not know much. He was merely an
imperfect adumbration of the admira-
BILE person who is uow~OverlOoking his
correspondence. Ell? That Ia the first
impression. But presently one feels
differently about it. Those half baked
opinions may now have hardened into
dogmas We may now be cOcksure
Of what once we only surmised. But
who is so hOpelessly wrong as the
cocksure man? If the person one
was fifteen years ago could cOntem-
plate effectively the person one is
now perhaps he would pity the pur-
blind dogmatist more than We pity the
cropping experimentalist. - New York

THE OLD TIME DOCTOR.
His Hardships Were Many, and His
Rewards Were Not Great.

His Hardships Were Many, and His
Rewards Were Not Great.
The strongest impression gained In
reading of the experience s Of old time
physicians is of their boldness and dar-
Ing. Most of them were by necessity
surgeons as we'll as doctors Of medi.
cine. Isolated often from other mem-
bers Of their profession and obliged to
bear the entire responsibility Of the
welfare Of their patients, they learned
to rely upon themselves and to take
chances that would make the general
practitioner shudder In these days OF
many specialists and wide division of
labor. Perhaps none ever undertook
: surgical operations who had NO train
ing In that line, but with no hospitals
within reach, with few instruments
and with the modern antiseptics and
nursing systems undreamed Of, they
ventured to use the knife in critical
cases and. ss 1t appears. with a large
measure Of success.
They were faithful, hardworking
servants Of the public in the early day.
They Travelled by horseback over trails
that took them through forests and
swamps and across streams. Their
1eld OF practice often included a large
territory. and they were necessarily out
In all sorts Of weather and encoun-
tered hardships Of various kinds. Nor
were the rewards great. Few Of those
old time doctors accumulated wealth,
some Of them not even competence
for old age. But 1t Is easy to see that
they were force IN the community
and had much to do with the general
development of the acknowledgements

The Curious Vegetable Caterpillar Of
New Zealand.
Among the many strange grOwths.

to be found In New Zealand the vege-
table caterpillar readily ranks among
the foremost. This caterpillar Is sew
eral inches in length. is hairless and
does NOT differ essentially In appear
ance from some OF the caterpillars OF
our own land.
Its claim to distinction lies in the
fact that when 1t gets ready to die 1t
digs a hole for itself in the earth and
completely buries itself. Later slen-
der green shoot springs from the spot.
This bears two or more leaves near its
top.
Upon investigation it is found that
the green shoot springs from the head
of the dead caterpillar. and further in
vestigation develops the fact that the
body OF the caterpillar is filed with
roots.
The form is retained without change.
and the roots do not pierce through
the skin or enter the ground. When
dug up this dead yet living freak pre-
sents most odd appearance. for the

pillar are distinctly seen. yet from the
