Senator Allen objected to present consideration, saying that he thought that more time ought to be taken by the Senate in view of the charges made. He said he did not desire to cause any great delay. Senators Hoar and Teller replied, taking a Position fur prompt action. REPRESENTATIVES.

W. Clement in Maryland Medical Record. Raies does exist in Maryland, and it ex- ists to a much greater extent than was fermerly supposed. Since I became the state veterinarian I have seen several out- breaks of the disease in cattle bitten by rabid dogs. It is not dn imaginary disease by any means. It is not an hysterical dis- €ase, brought on by fear from having been bitten by an animal supposed to be mad. It is a definite, real disease, and the sooner the public are made aware of it the better it will be for the public and the better it BON [IARCHE. 8 8 -1 huge lot Black Chev- jot Reefer Coats, made in the latest styles-- notch collars =-- at the most remarkable $] -59 price of = = = = = Children’s Reefers, 4 to 12 years, in plain and novelty cloths, large sailor collars, plain and braid trimmed, tight and empire back. $ 1 -98 Worth up to $4.

A minister once told me an amusing ey, of how a young man was called to preac' by one of these ‘distorted sounds. He did not feel quite sure of his call, so he submitted his case to what he thought would be a cru- cial test. He lived ina country of high hills and sinuous valleys. He betook himself to the fields, far away from human habitation, and here he prayed that if the Lord want- ed him to preach He would give him an audible sign of no uncertain sound. His prayer was answered in the pease as soon as uttered, in a mos - aaa and astonishing way. There came to his ears a most unearthly sound, unlike anything that had ever come within his ex- perience, and he went home with - ae conviction respecting his duty as a srt minister of the Gospel. Upon bah es tion it was found that over in one 0! a valleys there was quietly grazing ones those long-eared, four-footed animals so r their wonderful vocal powers. the animal—whether in Ce = io prayer or not, no one knows—spoke a hills as only such animals can.

From the London Engineer. Recent orders for new vessels sent from Japan to English shipbuilders have pro- vided for the supply of duplicate plans, working details, &c., which have enabled “the Jap at home” to set about the con- struction of ships on the latest British principles, and in accordance with the best British methods. Under the manage- ment of a thoroughly trained British ship- builder, and with plans supplied by a Clyde firm of shipbuilders, work has been pro- ceeding for some time on a 6,200-ton steam- er for the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, and this vessel is expected to be ready for launch- ing from tae shipyard at Nagasaki early next month. So well satisfied are the Japanese with the progress that has been made that material has now been ordered in England for a second vessel of the same type and dimensions, for the same owners. Two other steamers of between 2,000 and 3,000 tons are in progress of construction at Nagasaki. The larger vessels are being built to Lioyd’s highest requirements, so that the Japanese seem to be well started on a career of ocean steamship building. Purchases of machine tools of the highest class were made some time ago m England for the Nagasaki yard, and at the present time an engineering emissary from Japan is in England making inquiries and selec- tions of tools for a new shipyard at Kobe, which, after Yokohama, is the most im- portant of Japanese ports. The purchas- ing officials in both instances are Japanese engineers, trained under Dr. Henry Dyer of Glasgow, while that gentleman was principal of the engineering college at ‘Tokio, and Dr. Dyer, it may be added, haz been deputed to select a naval architect with a British training to take service in Japan, under the government, et a hand- some salary. A REMARKABLE YARN, Uncle Bill Hammond's A-Mousing. From the New York Werld. Uncle Bill Hammcnd, who keeps a big kennel over at Eldred, four miles from Sho- hola, in Sullivan county, is as well known for his stories as for his prowess as a hunter and fisher. This is his latest, told in the Shohola Glen Hotel a few days ago: “Y'know Lem Wilkins’ barn over to Round Pond? Well, me an’ Fred Freeman went over there last Thursday to, fish through the ice. Fred went out to chop some holes to fish through, an’ I began to git the tip-ups ready. While I was fixin’ ‘er I saw suthin’ go flip, flop, flip, flop along the ground between the barn an’ the pona. I thought it might be a squirl with a broken teg or suthin’ an’ went closter. An’ what d’yer think it waz? Nuthin’ but Bass Went ; 2 hig black bass. “Blame me if I wasn’t so surprised that I jest stood an’ looked at it till it flopped square into an airhole in the pond. I turn- ed back to the tip-ups, an’ if I didn’t see two others doin’ the same trick! “Yes, sir, there they was a-flippin’ an’ a-floppin’ their way between the barn an’ the pond. I hollered to Fred, an’ while he wuz comin’ I counted four more doin’ the same trick. We was so surprised that we jest watched ‘em flip an’ flop till they all got into the pond. “Pike bit pretty good an’ our bait ran out. When pike is good an’ hungry they'll bite at anything shiny. So we just ripped a bass open to get the white of his belly. An’ what d’yer think we found in that bass’ belly? Couldn’t guess in a hundred guess- es. A mouse! Yes, sir, a mouse! How'd it git there? “Well, sir, that set us t’ thinkin’ an’ put- tin’ two an’ two together. We ripped the other bass we’d caught open, an’ three of the four hed mice in their bellies. Yes, sir, an’ they wuzn't digested. Fred, he said: ‘I'll bet those fish was up to the barn fer them mice. An’ they was. That’s the only way they could git ’em. The bass jest flopped their way up, ketched the mice an’ flopped hack again.” : —_ +e+___ Secrets of Life Insurance. From Leslie's Weekly. For many years after Hfe insurance com- panies were started no surrender values whatever were given on policies that were given up, but the entire value of such policies was forfeited for the benefit of those who kept their contracts in force. This was a great hardship to holders of Policies who could not continue to pay the premiums and who were thus obliged to abandon them. Now all of these old-time insurance companies are obliged by law to give a certain return to the insured if he abandons his policy after the expiration of two or three years. Some companies have gone to the other extreme, and have of- fered liberal returns to those who sur- render their policies. Others issue what are called “‘tontine policies,” that promise the entire reserve and a @umulated profits to all who keep their policies in force to the end of a certain period—say, ten, fif- teen or twenty years. Insurance agents have a way of figuring up what they think one ought to receive for his policy on its surrender, but no agent will ever make an absolute written agreement as to the sur- render value of a policy beyond an amount guaranteed by the company. This guaran- tee is always a moderate one—much less than what the agents calculate it should be. Fortunately, the law steps in to regu- Jate some of these matters, and under its compulsion even an insurance agent is obliged to tell the truth or take the conse- quences. If a person desires to invest his money in a life insurance policy whieh shall guarantee the payment of a certain amount in case of his death, and which in case of his survival for ten, fifteen or twenty years shall return to him all that be has paid in for life insurance, with in- terest added to the same, he must expect to pay a higher price than he would if he simply paid for a-policy that guaranteed a certain death payment. The cash surrender value, therefore, means a value which the policy has not only at the death of the Person, but at any time when he may choose to give up his policy and ask the company to make him some return of the cash which he has paid in for his annual premiums. ——__+0+—__—- Beaver im Europe.
