Etcept'onal industry baa marked the course of events at the capitol during the past week and a gratifying amount of legitUtion baa been, disposed of. As soon si tbe ship subsidy bill was out of th way, it having passed tbe senate on Monday afternoon, that chamber turned Kb attention to the bill for tbe protection of the pretident. Although favored by the large majority of the senalora (here were a number who objected to the provisions of the bill on the ground that they were too (weeping and that they j might be made, in time of political ex citement, the means of persecution. Senator Hoar, however, proved ob durate and contended that in these days of enlixhtened public opinion and i- markably equitable courts, the fear ex pressed were groundless. He refused to accept any of the amendments offered and on Friday the bill passed. Tbe measure provides the death penalty for assault on the president, vice president or any member ol the cabinet, or the sovereign or chief magistrate of any foreign country who may be in United Stated territory. It luitlier provides that any person who shall instigate, advise or counsel the killing of any of the oluVials named shall be liable to Imprisonment lor a term not to exceed twenty years On Friday the senate passed the war revenue repeal bill aent up from the house. The only change from the house measure consisted in permitting the tax on "bucket shops" to remain intact. On Friday evening the senate adjourned until Ibis noon when tbe oleomargarine bill will be taken up. The entire week in I lie house has been devoted to the consideration of the river and harbor appropriation bill On Friday the bill passed without division. It carries a total appropria tion of tOO.Gtm.SG?. Saturday was de voted to the private calender. The testimony of Dr. Wiley before the house coin ni itteo on interstate and foreign commerce, apropos of the pare food bill, is attracting much interest. The doctor, who is the chief of the b'ireau of chemistry of the department of agriculture, presented lor the Inspection ol the committee a large number of sample of adulterated foods. Among them were fruit butlers hearing di Ho rent labels but all identical- 'y the same article. They ware made of the refuse of evaporated apples and glucose. Sample jnr of preserved strawberries coutsined glucose, aniline dyes, and shout twelve strawberries to the jr and other fruits were in the same proportion. llp.utilully green French bears were colored by the use of copper. Canned peas were shopworn and wormeaten, dried peas saturated with waler. There were also shown tlarels and port wines which contained no grape juice but were made trotn fnimented glucose, dyes, etc. Numerous food products contained borax, bentoic acid, coal tar dyes, and other ingredient' mi st injurious to delicate or immature stomachs, Dr. Wiley' testimony pro duced a great impression on Ins hearers and will probably result In the passage ol one of the pure lood bills. On Thursday, the senate committee on military affairs called Ucnera! Miles before it to testily as to the, expediency of passing th army reorganization bill of which Secretary Root is practically the author. The general severely con demned the measure and even threat ened to resign it it became a law. Home of the general's statements cast rcflec' lions on the administrall a and at Fri day's cabinet meeting the advisability of reprimanding the geueral or of iin mediately retiring him wat discussed hut no action taken, (tending the pub liiation ol bis testimony by the coin inittee. That liny such sction will be taken, however, is not likely as it would be opposed by the senators, who argue that ii a nhordinale is punished by th president for testimony given lwlore congressi onal committee, such conimilee will, in the future, be unable to secure from such subordinate reliable informa tion in regard to the wurkings of the executive departmenl. In a previous letter I quoted a repub lican representative who is an ardent champion of reform ill the consular aer vice.nd 1 have been aisured by Sena tor Lode of hi interest in this move merit, he having introduced a bill pro viding lor sii.:h relorin and having secured its report to the senate, Repre sentative John J. Feeler, one of the new members elected to the filty-teventh congress and, I believe the youngest member ol the house, is also deeply interested in this movement. "I do nol know how many democrat are faver able to the reform," raid Mr. Feely, when I aked him his views one day I asl week, "but 1 do not know that every democrat and republican, entirely irre speciiva of party line, ought to favor it ami to take a personal interest in FAT AND LEAN That is, babies: fat, they are happy and safe; lean, they are neither happy nor safe. Apart from being entirely healthy or not quite well, a fat one has much reserve of vital strength to resist any sudden attack, while the lean one has little or no reserve. The way to be fat and well is Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil. A little: only a little. Net any, if healthy and plump already; "let well enough alone. W'H nd ytm t trttW to try If 70m lilt. SCUT! iOWNE, 4 fcul m, Krw York securing the reorganisation of the aer-1 vice along line that are creditable to the country. It teems a ltd commentary on the business sagacity ol congress that it should assume that men who are appointed solely because of their politi cal influence and who realise that they have no ground for supposing '.that the most faithful service will secure to them any permanency of office, should be capable ol furthering the interest ot the country to the lam extent as a man (elected for hi ability and knowing that the permanency ol bis tenure de pended upon the efficiency of his service. "The present time is particularly fitting for tbe agilatioa of this reform. Tbe country is reaching out for the markets ol tbe world and tbe most capable men we can find should be sent into foreign countries as the advance agents of American commerce. Our products can by their quality and cheap uess command the respect of foreign nations, but their merits must be made known. It has been said that American consuls are too often drummers. That is true in a sense. Unfortunately they are too often drummers for certain bouses but what we need is men who, In the broadest sense, will be drummers (or every American industry; who will be on the alert for svery demand, anticipating it and advising American manufacturers beforehand so that they may be ready to supply the market. To do this and do it with any degree of efficiency our coisul should b intel ligent, alert and capable of speaking tin language of th country to which they are sent."

Subsequently he went to the i'hllipplnes and became a cor poral, and then a lieutenant of vol unteers.

I'rifortunately for the young man'a ambition, he waa burdened with two deformed toes. Oil this the army surgeon debarred him.

R.intkwo.ya. On Sunday, John It. Harvey's team took time by the forelock and bolted out of tbe livery stable just after being attached to the hack, without waiting for a driver. They reached Front street without calamity and made a charge on the Williams restaurant building at the corner ol Fouitb, but collided with the hydrant whichiwung them into tho street again. At the first vacant lot beyond, they jumped the side walk, breaking loote Iroin tbe buggy They were here stopped by a tree against ffbicli the nockyoke was broken, the shock whirling them around facing the other way, when they were quickly secured. On Monday, the Williams stage team indulged in a season of excitement. One of the horses was practising gym nastics while being driven from the barn to tbe post office at one o'clock and a trace became unfastened, letting the tongue drop to the ground. The team became immediately unmanageable and as the vehicle was rudderless, the situa tion was a critical one for the driver, Mr. Knox. They racol across the street and turned into the alley at the While House grocery. Mr. Knox jumped or was thrown out, escaping with a few bruises. The vehicle was left in the entrance of the alley, completely in verted, wheels in the air. The horses bioke loose from one another; one of them was caught soon after being re leased from his mate, while the other took a long run before being captured. The tongue of Hie vehicle was splintered to fragments and the wheels were badly rai ked and damaged. To School Officer of Josephine County.

After the Introduction of printing-, certain book were spoken ot a codlce (or llbrl Impress!), printed books, to dis tinguish them from codices manu scriptl.

It Is, however. Interesting a well a very curious to hold In one' hands the parchment or hulf-decnyed paper on which the hand of some great scholar, . long since dead, traced the story of hi tiny, or wrote a poem which live even now. Would you not like to own, for Instance, the manuscript of Virgil's Acneid, or of Dante's "Divine Comedy," written by their own hand? You would be a very rich young peron If you did; but; . of course, the real original of the long ago writer are vory difficult, in fact Impossible, to find. Probably they do not exist, and certainly If they ex ist, no on knows whore they are. PATHOLOGICAL DREAMERS.
