HSE J-' '■ ■' Mr. Nicholson Temperance Bill Gets Through by a Vote of 75 to 20. SENATE WILL NOW TAKE IT. Home Also P«ue<l the Mortgage Exemntlon Blit — Senate P**MH the Stuart Election Expenaea Bill and BepapU Objectionable Section In Co-Kinpioye*« Liability Act—Review of Proceeding*. Indianapolis, Feb. 27. — Yesterday was an important day in legislative work. The Nicholson bill, after its long androcky road, passed the house by a tremendously big vote and an effort was made to hustle it through the senate under a suspension of the rules, but this failed also by an overwhelming vote, and the bill went to the committee on temperance, which is decidedly unfriendly to it. The house passed tbe Newhouse mortgage exemption bill, ; notwithstanding the fact that many ! members-protested against it as an ex- ■ tremely dangerous bit of experiment al j legislation. The house also passed the bill to establish a superior court to sit in Hamraodd, Valparaiso and Michigan City. The senate passed a number of bills and among them were two important measures, one repealing the section in the co-employes' liability act which was so obnoxious to the labor interests, and another the Stewart elect ion expenses bill. It also passed Senator Barnes’ bill for the suppression of sensational literature. Tbe Nicholson Bill PasMe*. At 10:30 o’clock the famous Nicholson bill came up on third reading as a special order. It was discovered that the bill had not yet been engrossed. Mr. Robinson moved the suspension of the rules that the bill be considered engross'd and put upon its passage. Upon this he demanded the previous question and under its operation the 1411 was engrossed and put upon its passage. On this the previous question was demanded by Mr. Leedy. When the rollcall was finished the bill had passed the house by the overwhelming vote of 75 to 20. There was prolonged applause when the vote* was announced and there was a rush from the galleries anti lobbies. The Newhouse mortgage exemption i bill was taken up during the afternoon : and the author moved to recommit to I the author with instructions to strike ! out the emergency clause and his motion carried. The bill then passed by a vote of 74 to .18. The Lake, Porter and Laporte superior court, bill came up on third reading and was passed. ;Mr. Loring’s bill, postponing the time for the employment of teachers by townsnip trustees until after the new trustees take office, also passed. Senate Proceedings. The senate spent nearly the 'wholA of the morning on second readings of bills, the only one of importance that was engrossed being Senator Shively's bill to cut off the attorney general’s 12 per cent fee on the collection o( school funds. In the afternoon bills were taken up on third reading and a number were passed. The only one that caused much argument was Senator Stuart’s bill on election expenses. This provides that every candidate for office shall give an accurate account of the expenses incurred in his canvass. The bill introduced by Senator Wishard repealing section 2 of the co-employe liability act passed without argument. Senator Barnes’ bill to suppress obscene and sensational literature was also passed. There was quite a stir in the senate when the chair announced that the Nicholson bill had been brought over and had the clerk read it by title. Senator McLean asked that in the name of morality the bill be passed without refi erence to a committee, aiid Senator j Wray moved the suspension of the eon-, i stitutional rules in order to push the bill through. This motion was defeated by an almost unanimous vote and the bill was referred to the temperance committee. After listening to a few more bills on second reading the senate adjourned.

Imbecile Children and How They Are l:n---proved Mentally. The education of the imbecile is one . requiring an infinite number Os repeti- i tions of a message, which at the outset must be unusually Sharp and clear and nnconfusing. If it is the sight and hearing which are to be improved, the pupil is placed in a dark room, ami into its ' darkness a single ray of bright light is ! admitted. Ami when this startling and ■ antithetical phenoim non has caught anti i rivetedJhe child’s attmtion, by repetition, a slide is passed through the beam ■ of light, with sharply defined forms 1 painted or engraved upon it—simple forms, too, such as tint- square or triangle or stat. Then the names of. these figures tire clearly and distinctly and repeatedly pronounced, the name sounded each time the object is exhibited. This is an example of the necessities of mi extretne case—a veiy apathetic and unobservant child. Fsually it will be sufficient to exhibit objects by lifting them from the table and simultaneously telling their names. This must be done . over and over again- until the nerve fibers and brain cells are stimulated into readier action and developed into fuller and more perfect performances of normal functions. The imbecile child’s brain is improved in the same way ns ’the biceps muscles are more and more enlarged. This is done by the repeated use of small dumbbells at first and then by the gradual substitution of heavier and weights. The tenare-ofrframan life is so short that all that can be done for such extreme types is to enthrone the disenthroned moral sense. It would require an eternity to tone up the five physical senses. Nervous idiots are much 1 ire promising pupils and show remark;.'do mental improvement in a short time. But the physical senses are always improved with the improvement of the moral sense. A child who has been taught how not to be.an animal indoors will have more appreciation of Color, and a child who has learned not to cry and scream on the slightest pretext will have a far better regulated sense of touch, smell and hearing.—New York Advertiser.

Hom** DveincWith establishments for dyeing and cleaning in where old things are made to look like new, it may seem unnecessary to give direc- ; tions as to how it may be done at home. But time just now is the only i stock in trade of many to whom the ; small economies have hitherto bedn unknown, and there must be more i making over of old garments than ever before, while the desire to be well dressed remains as strong as ever. Rip the garment to be dyed carefully iu i pieces, pick out all the thread and ' wash in soup suds, rinse well and see above all c-Ise that the grease spctS [ have all been removed; then press the goods and weigh them; any reliable idye package has on it the amount of I goods it will dye, and do not try to ■ make it do more' or less, for. herein , lies the success of the dyeing. Let the dye dissolve over night, and in the morning strain twice through a j piece of cheese cloth. Then pear on ! the required amount of water, hot or boiling according to directions given with the dye. Use for dyeing a new tin or a common stone crock. Boil the garments in this until the i desired color is obtained, stirring with | sticks, then lift, them into rffi.se water ; hmi rinse three times. Hang up the i goods to drip.dry. do- not., wring thSm. I then press when nearly dry- until I,every particle of dampness has disapI pdared. I Prepare the amount c£ dye necessary to do over the garmenVail at once, oven if it is necessary to use two utensils, and if two'are used'Tie sure that the goods boil the same time, in each , tin exactly, . Experiment at first with an oM garment. then if the success attainer?justify furt thing better, but be sure and go -newly and safely, f; e.. according to.direcr tions given above \ 'Mth’-fft uto for Beer .
