IT WAS QUICKLY DISPOSED OF The Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill Wnft Completed and l'aed Iurluc the. Day .' Washington-, April 25. The tariff question made its appearance unex pectedly in the senate today, and for a time it looked aa though the routine of considering appropriation bills would give way to a general tariff debate. Sherman endeavored to secure action on the bill relating to fruit brandies and alcohol used in the arts. Chandler gave warning, however, that if the bill was taken np it would involve a debate on tbe entire tariff question. Piatt went farther by stating that if this correction of the revenue laws was attempted, he would urge that the entire Wilson law be repealed and the former McKinley law revived. After these announce ments, the vote on Sherman's motion to. proceed was followed with great in terest, resulting in the defeat of the mo tion 22 to 27. . - The sundry civil appropriation bill was completed and passed during the day. As it passed the bouse, it carried about $30,000,000 ; as reported to the senate, it reached $35,000,000, and with amendments added today, the total was raised to $37,000,000. Ready for the Senate.

It is said that a dog in Milliken, . Mich., possesses and uses daily a full set of artificial teeth. The dog is very old, and it is a family pet. When it lost its teeth recently its owner, according1 to the story, had the local dentist make the animal a full set of teeth, and they ore said to be a perfect working suc cess. , 'The old notion that southern wom en are. langnid, feeble folk ought to be dispelled by the act of four women in a suburb of Macon, Ga. A house took fire during the night arid the neighbors gathered to help the inmates in saving their effects. Four women earned a large upright piano from the parlor all the way out into the middle of the street unassisted. A fox and a hunter together stalked a partridge near Tyson, Vt., the other day, but each unknown to the other. The bird alighted in an apple tree be hind the Darn, and the hunter tiptoed around one side of the barn and brought the bird down. But as the, bird dropped the fox, coming round the other side of the barn, seized it and was off with his dinner before the hunter could appre ciate what had happened. The tail of the crawfish serves that animal as an oar. By a peculiar jerk of the tail the animal can retire from a dangerous object with almost incredi ble swiftness. The tail is much more effective in moving the animal back ward than forward, a singular instance of adaptation to its situation, for by means of its tail it can withdraw into its hole with such swiftness as in an instant to place it out of danger, t ' The latest story of' a wonderful gold find in Alaska is of a lake whose bed is literally paved deep with gold dust. The lake is 1,000 yards long, 400 . yards wide and 150 feet deep. It is fed by water from a glacier, and its only outlet is a little stream two feet deep, but of incredible swiftness. The assay of the sand which a sea captain brought to Seattle recently showed $8 to $10 a cubic yard, and on this basis a man alone could take out $10,000 a year. The big white moose recently shot in the Maine woods by a Mr. Sargent, of Grafton, has greatly interested natural ists as well as sportsmen. It is the only white moose ever seen in Maine, and very few have ever been heard of else where. The naturalists, say it is, of course, not strange that there should lie an albino jiioose, resulting from a freak of natu re, as white deer and other albino game animals are not uncom mon. But white moose are a great rarity, , '. ! ; - Uoubted the Bill. One of the principal men in the bureau of printing and engraving had a some what peculiar experience in New York recently. He had occasion to visit the metropo lis on business, and. after a stay of sev eral days at one of the chief hotels he called for his bill. When "it was given him he tendered in payment a brand new $20 silT-er certificate. The clerk looked at it for a moment and then passed it back. "What is the matter?" said the offi cial. "I can't take that," replied tbe clerk. "I don't think it's good." ''Not good!" exclaimed the official. "Not good! Why, man, I know it's good. I made it myself." ' . "Yes," said the clerk, "that's iust what I thought." Washington Post. Simply Follow Custom. - Farmer.? in Mexico use oxen one color in. the mcnruBg and of another color in the afternoon.
