THE SENATE.
In the senate, Friday, the electoral
certificates for the electors for president
of the states of New York aud South
Carolina was presented and placed on
file. Mr. Sherman, from the committee
on foreign relations, reported back the
senate bill introduced by him December
20th, to extend to the North Pacific
ocean the provisions of the statutes for
the protection of fur seals and other fur
bearing animals, and after a brief expla¬
nation the bill passed. The certificate of
the governor of Louisiana, of his ap¬
pointment of Doneison Coff-ry to fill the
vacancy in the senate caused by the death
of S' nator Gibson, was presented and
plac*d on file. The McGarrahan bill was
under consideration for half an hour, and
after a speech against it by Mr. Mills, it
went over till Monday. At 2 o’clock the
anti option bill was taken up, the pend¬
ing question being an amendment
offered by Mr. White, of Lou-
isiana, to strike out the last proviso
in section 2. The proviso is that “such
contract or agreement shall not be made,
settled for by delivery or settlement of
difference or by any other mode of per¬
formance or settlement in or upon any
board of trade,” etc. This was rejected—
yeas, 15; nays, 42. So the proviso is re¬
tained in the bill. Mr. Vilas moved to
amend the second Bection by adding the
words, “and does not in good faith in¬
tend to purchase aud deliver articles con¬
tracted to be sold and delivered accord¬
ing to the terms and requirements of
such contracts.” Ho said that the pur-
poso of the amendment was to distinguish
legitimate transactions from gambling
operations. Debate on this amendment
occupied the remainder of the day’s ses¬
sion, and, without action upon it, went
over.
In the senate. Saturday, Mr. Coffery,ap¬
pointed by the governor of Louisiana to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
the late Senator Gibson, was introduced
by his colleague, Mr White, aDd took
the oath of office. Mr. Wolcott offered
a resolution it s'ructing the committee on
foreign relations to inquire what were
the sums that have been expended in and
about the construction of the N caragua
eaual since the last account was rendered.
The resolution was laid over till Monday.
The resolution < ffered Friday by
Mr. Morgan, instructing the com¬
mittee on commerce to inquire and re¬
port ihe advantages, if any, that would
accrue the to production industries, etc., by
Nicaragua ship canal, was taken up,
and Mr.. Morgan addressed the senate
upon it. At the conclusion of Mr. Mor¬
gan’s speech the anti-option bill came up
as a special order, but—in antagonism to
it—Mr. Wolcott moved to proceed to the
consideration of the first bill on the cal¬
endar. A vote showed no quorum. Mr.
S*h< rmau asked unanimous consent to
have the vote on the anti-option bill tak
en Wednesday, At 2:50 o’clock ihe
senate went into executive session
and soon afterwaids adjourned till Mon¬
day.
In the senate, Monday, Mr. Morrill, of
Vermont, addressed the senate in an ar-
gument against the McGarrahan bill.
Alluding to John Randolph Tucker as
having made an adverse report on the
claim, he expnssed the hope that the
rumor that Mr. Tucker would be Mr
Cleveland’s attorney general would prove
true.
In the senate, Tuesday, after the pass¬
age of several unimportant bills and af¬
ter the second installment of Mr. Ptffer’s
argument in favor of constitutional
amendment limiting presidsntial office to
one term, the McGaiahan bill was taken
up and an argement made by Wilson (re¬
publican, Iowa.) affirmative The bill was defeated
by a vote of 29 to 18 nega¬
tives. The senate has passed the bill au¬
thorizing payment to the state of Virginia
of the appropriation under the direct tax
refunding act, up till the adjournment of
the next legislature. The anti-option bill
was taken up, Mr. Hoar resumed argu¬
ment against it on the ground of its un¬
constitutionality. Further arguments
against the unconstitutionality of the
anti-option bill were made by Messrs.
Gray, Vest and Platt, the last named de¬
claring that he had not heretofore taken
any part in the discussion because he had
not believed it possib e for the senate to
entertain the principles which underly
the bill. Mr. Platt yielded to so many
interruptions ish his that he was unable to fin¬
argument. The senate, at 5:10
o’clock p. in., went into executive ses¬
sion and soon afterwards adjourned.
THE HOUSE.
In the house, Friday, on rnotiou of Mr.
Culberson, of Texas, Tuesday was sub¬
stituted for Saturday for the considera¬
tion of bills reported by the committee
on judiciary. Mr. Richardson, from the
committee on printing,reported a concur¬
rent resolution of the printing of 60,000
copies of the report of the agricultural
department, on the sheep industry and on
diseases of cattle for d stribution by the
senators and representatives. The reso¬
lution was agreed to, but it will be some
weeks before copies of the work will be
ready for distribution. Saturday was
assigned for the consideration of meas¬
ures called up by the committee on Indi¬
an affairs. Mr. Beltshoover moved that
the house go into committee of the whole
for the consideration of the private cal¬
endar which was agreed to. The first
bill on the calendar was one for the
relief of Hiram Johnson and others,
and the n publicans resorted to their fili¬
bustering tactics and left the house wu h
out a quorum. Alter a couple of hours
consumed in a vain attempt to secure a
quorum to vote upon, tbe democrats be¬
came itritated. and uuderthe lead of Mr.
Euloe. champ on of the Johnson measure,
atteuiped ifft to force an adjournment The
et of this would be to vacate the night
sesrion for the consideration of private
pension bibs. Tbe r* public »ns then
came to the f>rc, and with the help of
s> me democrats defeated the motion to
adjourn—yeas 74, mvs 128. Ihe house
then at 4:39 o’cl ck, took a recess until
8 ° c < *ok. the even o<? session to be f«.r
P r i Ta t e pension bills.
Tbe me ting hour of the hou?e Satur¬
day was devoted to consideration of the
bill to promote tbe efficiency of tbe mi-
Mtia. No action wa« tak^n, and the
bill resumed its place upon the calendar.
The floor w s then »cc rdtd to the com¬
mittee on Indian affairs. The first bill
ceHed up was one appropriating $8,595,-
°0° to ra ify and confirm an agreement
with the Cherokee narion. The agree-
ment for which this appropriation is a
consideration provides for ihe cession by
the Cherok* e Indians of Cherokee outl. t
which contains about 8,000,000 acres.
The bill was discussed by Mes-rs. Peel

ed till
The house was engaged Monday in the
discussion of a resolution calling on the
various executive departments having the
matter in charge for the statement of the
amount of southern war claims allowed
and disallowed by them.
In the house, Tuesday, Mr. Catcbings,
from the committee on rules, reported the fol¬ to
the house a resolution making
lowing assignments of business: Wed¬
nesday, measures from the committee on
immigrations; Thursday and Saturday,
me isures from the committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce; Saturday
and Wednesday of next week, the bank-
ruptcy but. A ioptcU. iuc rcao.ui.ou
agreed to making provision for a joint
meeting of the two houses of congress oa
Wednesday, February 8th, to count the
electoral vote. A cr ill was pas-
8*d authorizing th ci> construction
of a bridge across the Cahaba
river in Tuscaloosa county, Ala. The
floor was then accorded to the committee
on the judiciary. Mr. Oates called up
the senate bill to provide for the punish-
ment of offenders on the high seas. The
bill was pnssed. The next bill called up
was one amending the states so as to re-
quire United States district attorneys,
marshals and clerks in their semi-annual
returns to the attorney general, to in-
clude the return of all equalization fees,

capital gossip.
The senate finance committee, on Tues¬
day, reported a bill to repeal the Sher¬
man act.
The hou=e naval committeo, on Tues-
day, ordered that a favorable report be
made on the bill providing for the pur-
chase of additional land adjoining the
naval station at Port Royal, S. C., cost
not to exceed $10,000.
.JtS was m. passed „ xt # f by ii the l a house, \xr l * was r ” lr< sent f over b '"
to the senate Friday and was, under the
the District of Columbia.
An . old bill under occupied
a new name
considernble attention in the house Mon-
< ay. formerly it was known as the Ar-
kansas swamp lands bill; now it is inti-
tied “a bill to finally adjust and settle
the claims of Arkansas and other states
under the swamp land grant and for
other purposes.”
The appropriation committee has not
yet settled ihe pension problem that con-
fronts it. Commissioner Raura and As-
sistant Secretary Busey have been exam-
ined, and the commission is nearly con¬
vinced that it will have to appropriate
the full amount estimated for next year—
$178,000,000.
The failure of the McGarrahan bill to
receive the necessary two-thirds vote in
the senate to pass it, over tho president’s
veto was a source of surprise 10 a large
number of people aud of disappointment
to a yet larger number. r Jhe bill re-
ceived the vote of the majority of the
senators, but liked several of the con-
stitutional two-thirds.
The reports received from the navy de-
par ment from the government inspector
at Carnegie steel works at Homestead,
Pa., shows that the armor plate manufac-
tured there for the new naval vessels is
quite ns good as any turned out by the
establishment before the lockout of last
summer. The plate has stood all the se-
vere tests prescribed and tho men are
working night and day to till the con-
tracts.
The passage by the house of the bill
to elect senators bv the people is a just
concession which democracy makes to
the dimands of the fanning classes.
Should the bill pass the senate and be¬
come a law it would give the democrats
additional senators from Connecticut^
Iowra, Massachusetts and perhaps other
states when the legislature does not
show the political complexion chiefly of the en¬
tire state. For this reason the
republican senate will never let the bill
go through.
The Nicaragua Canal Qoestion.
Mr. Morgan introduced in the senate,
Friday, the following resolution : “Re-
solved, That the c mmittee on commerce
is instructed to inquire and report to the
senate the advantages, if any, that will
accrue and to productions, industries, coast-
wise foreign commerce, immigration
and other interests of the United States
by means of additional facilities of trans-
portation and reduction of cost thereof

After the Whiskey Trnst.
Representative Burrows, of Michigan,
has begun an active onslaught on the
whiskey wmsKty trust irust. On un r Friday riaayne he introduced introduced
in the nouse a long preamble and resoiu-
tion reciting the newspaper charge that
the trust is making spirits, high wines
and alcohol for use as beverages *,rust'is by the
use of adulterants; ,bat the i„
conspiracy with the rectifiers to that end;
that adulteration is effected bv the use of
poisonous drugs, of which fai t retailer*
»ad consumers are in ignorance;...at the
spirit of (he reetifi rs law is thus vio-
lated ; that the United States revenue is
thus d- frauded by the diminution of im-
po.tance; that nctihers are obliged to
consume only the ] roduct of the trust
under heavy penalties; that such con¬
tracts are in restraint of commerce be¬
tween the stales, wherefore it is resolved
th <t a special commi tee of five members
of the house be appointed to fully inves-
tigate and report upon the subject, and
especially what persons are connected
with the trust.

PAPER IN MONEY MAKING.
Where Uncle Sam Gets the Supply for
the Currency.
The Berkshire Hills, or, to be particu
lar, that portion of the hills in ana about
Pittsfield, enjoy the distinction of being
the place of manufacture of all the paper
used in making the Government’s legal
tender, a distinction which it has con¬
tinued to enjoy uninterruptedly by ever the
since the issue of paper money
Government began. It is also worthy of
note that the same mills turn out a very
large portion of the paper which subse¬
quently becomes the currency of Canada.
Furthermore—the average Berkshire pa¬
triot will not permit you to escape with¬
hills out hearing silk the whole mill wherein story—these made same
have a is all
the tiny particles of silk thread which
cover the surface of the completed note.
So that, on the whole, this part of Mas
sachusetts may well lay claim to a m^no
poly of the moneymaking industry.
When the paper of which the bills are
made leaves the machine it is cut into
sheets 8 1-4 inches wide by 13 1-2 inches
long, each sheet containing four notes;
175,000 pounds is the average amount
which the Government requires every
year. The silk threads of various colors
which cover the surface of the note are
each three-eighths of an inch long. They
arc made just like ordinary silk thread,
except that they are not twisted as much
as the ordinary a. tide.
Col. Brown, the Government Inspector,
who looks after the work at the Berkshire
mills, says that the use of these silk
threads has greatly diminished the Gov¬
ernment’s losses by counterfeiting, those
losses being notv very small, owing to the
fact that the arrangement of the distribu¬
tion of the thread is altered with each
new r issue of notes. Those who handle
the notes, having been notified of each
change, arc easily enabled to detect
counterfeits, something they were not
able to do prior to 1865, when plain pa¬
per was used.
John Chinaman and His Children.
As a father John idolizes his boys, but
feels keenly the disgrace brought by the
advent of a daughter. He does not con-
rider her worthy of a name, but calls her
No. 1, 2 or 3, as the case may be. He ig¬
nores her entirely in telling the number
of his children, counting only the boys.
He considers her without mind or soul,
and denies her ilie privilege of an educa¬
tion which her brotoer receives. As she
grows up she is a slave in her own and
her husband’s house, and not until she is
old dots she receive love or revereuce.
If a child is taken sick, both John and
his wife think the soul has wandered
away, and steps are taken to recall it.
The mother ca Is at the open door, “Soul,
come home!” The fa her goes out to
seek it, usually searching about the near¬
est bridge, st his cry of “Coming,com¬
ing !” the mother looks carefully about
her floor and secures the first thing of
life she sees. This may be a flea or bee¬
tle, or other insect, but it is supposed to
have within it the m : ssmir spirit. It
is wrapt ed uo and joyfully placed
u dar the pillow of the sick one,
who is now expected to recover forth¬
with. If death comes in-t^ad, the child
is buried summarily and with scant c» re-
mony. John considers his own coffin
one of the most valm d and most neces¬
sary pieces of furniture lor his best room,
and his highest ambition is to have an
elabo ate funeral, He and the older
m mb is of bis household have this am¬
bition gratified in proportion to their
wealth and the number of their descend¬
ants.—St. Nicholas.
Millet for Cows.
One of the best grasses for the dairy
cow in winter is millet, and bay that is
properly cut and cured from this grass
form* a grand food for the animal during
the winter. Probably the best grade of
clover bay is superior for the cows; but
there is no comparison in the labor and

How to Preserve the Teeth.
The following directions for the care
of the teeth have been issued by the
me deal committee of the National Den¬
tal hospital, London.
1. The teeth should be cleaned at least
once the a day, the best time being night,
last thing. For thU purpose use a
soft brush, on which take a little soap,
and then some prepared chalk, brushing
up and across. There is rarely any ob¬
jection to the friction causing the gum
to bleed slightly.
2. Avoid all rough usage of the teeth,
such as cracking nuts, biiing thread,
etc., as by so doing even good, sound
teeth may be injured.
3. When dec-iy is at first observed,
advice should at once be sought. It is
the stopping in a small hole that is of
the greatest service, though not infre¬
quently a large filling preserves the tooth
tor years.
4. It is of the greatest importance that
children four yenrs and upward sbou d
have their teeth frequently examined by

How Swiss Children Go to Sleep.
The Swiss people are very artistic in
their tastes, and even the poorest Swiss
is neat and tasteful in his home life.
Many of the ways of the Swiss are as
pretty as their fanciful ideas of building
bouses. A Swiss mother believes that
her child will have bad dreams unless it
is crooned to sleep. And so, bending
low over the drowsy little one’s coucb,
sbe sings soothing songs of green pas¬
tures and still waters until the little
child has breathed itself peacefully into
the land of Nod.—New York Ledger.
Probably in this the largest is the directory New York pub¬
lished country

Royal Baking Powder.
THE GOVERNMENT TESTS
ESTABLISH ITS ABSOLUTE SUPERIORITY.
(Data frotn the latest Official U. S. Government Report on Baking
Powders , Department of Agriculture, Bulletin ij, page J99.)
Royal is placed first of the cream of tartar
powders, actual strength. 160.6 cubic inches of
leavening gas per ounce of powder.
Every other powder tested exhibited a much
lower strength than the Royal, the average
being 33 per cent. less.
Every other powder likewise showed the
presence of alum or sulphuric acid.
The claim that this report shows any other powder of su¬
perior strength or purity has been denounced as a falsehood
by the Government officers who made the tests.
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul¬
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Wayside Pick-Ups.
New York has the greatest number of
newspaper-—namely, 1,958, Nevada the
least—namely, 25.
In Bohemia there are 100 societies
and clubs, which have for their object
the advancement of tho cause of
woman.
Iu Sitka when the Indian wife has lost
her husband by death she goes into
mourning by painting the upper half of
her face in deep black.
In Germany aluminium cravats are now
on sale. They are advertised as feather
light, silver white wash goods that will
wear forever.
England imports annually about 50,-
000 tons of palm oil, but is considered
that this is a very small amount compared
with what might be the case were the
enormous supplies fully or even moder¬
ately realized.
Without opening a single additional
seam there is probably enough coal in
view in New South Wales to enable 100,-
000,000 tons to be put out annually for
seme years to come. This amount is
more than double the present produc¬
tion.
Much research and investigation the war¬
