[Special Correspondence.]

WASHINGTON, NOV. 29.—Outside the capital the air is balmy and sweet inside it is redolent of varnish and torpen tine. Painters have brightened the walls and armies of scrubwomen have polished the floors and vigorously yielded their brooms.

While wandering forlornly about the other day, aliasing sorely the hum of the congressional hive, the bursts of oratory, the rapping of the speaker's gavel, I espied, stowed snugly away in a far corner of a committee room, a lone senator whose name I am not allowed to mention. He had a Congressional Record in his lap, in which, as he saw mo approaching, he pretended to bo deeply absorbed- Had it been almost any other book I might have credited him with being sincere, but this was too great a tax upon human credulity—and ho knew it. He extended his hand, and, making the best of a bad situation, invited me to a seat beside him. "Yon have come to interview me, I suppose?" he said in a discouraging tone. "That is exactly what I wish to do," I replied. "I came here with the intention of extracting information from somebody, but, to tell the truth, I had not anticipated such good fortune as to meet with"— "There, there that will do," he rejoined wearily. "What is it you want?" "Well, not much, nothing that you cannot tell me offhand, I am sure only to be informed, for the benefit of our readers, as to what congress will do the coming session. There has been a deal of speculation about its prospective doings, but what we desire is something authoritative and at first hand from an activo participant in debate, from some one, like yourself, in touch with the president and with the people." "That's a modest requost," he said dryly. "Yes that's why I make it. Modesty is my most eminent virtue." "Indeed 1 Woll, if you have one other virtue and will exercise it I will undertake to gratify your curiosity." "And that?" "Discretion." "Why, certainly! I forgot to mention that discretion is my strong point." "Very woll. In the first place, what do you couKider the foremost questions today in which the people at large are most interested?"

The Cuban Problem.

"I think, senator, that Cuban belligerency—tho question of its recognition by our government—touches tho people most nearly on their sentimental and sympathetic side next to that the annexation of Hawaii." J* "Exactly, my friend, and those "will be tho two great problems which we shall first attempt to solve—how to do justice to Cuba without offeuding tbo mother country, Spain, and how to right a wrong without inuurring the vengt'nnce of the wrongdoer. There is no doubt at all as to the justice of Cuba's cause. 1 do uot doubt either that it will ultimately win. It Is a question more of abstract sympathy and of principle than of concrete advantage to us. Not for worlds would wo attempt tho annexation of Cuba, oven if it were practicable. It is the spectacle of that brave handful of patriots battling against foarful odds, resisting aggression and wrong as did our Revolutionary forefathers. Without a particle of hatred toward Spain? without tho remotest desire for tho acquisition of Cubit, still our sympathies aro most decidedly with the struggling young republic. But, aguiu, wo must not allow our inclinations merely to plunge us into a war, the isauo of which no one can doubt would be favorable to us, but the oostof which in blood and treasure would be incalculable, "As legislators who will bo held strictly responsible for any disaster that our deeds might bring upon the country, we cannot forget this fact nor allow the clamor of the unthinking multitude to hurry us into a declaration that might lead to war. The senate, as you know, has practically passed a recognition of belligerency, so far as an expression of its opinion gees. In the house the matter is in the hands of Hitt, with Speaker Reed sitting on the safety valve. I think, without expressing an opinion at all derogatory to any one, that ultimately this question will be precipitated as an expediency, and then there will be a general scramble as to who shall have the honor of fathering it, But, in some shape or other, It will come before both bouses, and there is every indication that it will be settled for good and all.

Hawaiian Annexation.

"As to Hawaii, there are no two opinions as to the popularity of the annexation idea. The chief objection urged against it is the distance of the Hawaiian Islands from our coast. Depend upon it that unless all signs fail the annexation of Hawaii is a foregone conclusion. Some will urge that, while we may not annex those islands ourselves, still we will do all we can to prevent

and to hold what we want and need, then we are not strong enough and hold enough to stand in the way of other nations doing KX "Now, one of the first things to be attended to after Cuba and Hawaii art ditpooed of will be Senator Lodge's pet •obeme for the purchase of the Danish West Indian i^and* They are for aala, but iMi the old kin* still living whose

any other nation from doing so. But "Our railroads? Well, they are doing that silly dog in the manger policy will 1 pretty well at present. Yea, the 'little not work in this age of enlightened joker' &i the tariff bill which was insentiment. If we as a nation are not tended^tc prove corrective of the Gamstrong enough and bold enough to take dian Pacific somehow miscarried. Bet,

royal sensibilities were so rudely treated by us yjars ago it will be a delicate subject to negotiate. But he needs money badly, even though he is the father of England's prospective queen, and if we go to him with the cash in hand be will surely swallow bis dignity, hand over the islands and turn the cash into his coffers. "Here again, as with Hawaii, comes the necessity of buying at once, for it is well known tbat Germany desires fhese islands mightily, and if we do not soon complete our purchase she will doubtless acquire them. And there is no real reason why she should not except that rather mythical Monroe doctrine which commits us to resist any further acquisition by any European power of American possessions. "So much for foreign relations. While we are at peace just now with all the world, there is yet the definition of the Monroe doctrine which may involve us in trouble. But our duty now is to extend onr commercial relations and strengthen our merchant marine. As an auxiliary to our navy, most important in time of peace and absolutely necessary to its effectiveness in wartime, is this school for sailors, the marine merchant service, which has the advantage of being self supporting and self operating.

Reciprocity.

"Do you see my drift? Well, what I mean is reciprocity. On the north we have Crfnada, selfish and grasping on the south the West Indies and the vast continent of Sonth America, with its 40,000,000 inhabitants, producing few manufactured goods and insatiate for trade east and west we have Europe, Africa and Asia. I cannot enter into a discussion of the merits of reciprocity, but it is a fact we have established, to onr sorrow and regret, that the lack of it—or rather its abolishment—has oper ated to our loss and disaster, commercially speaking.

In a nutshell the case is this: We have what all the world needs, especially of raw products and many manufactures. We are absolutely independent and self supporting. We can do without the products of almost all other countries, but they cannot do without ours. Especially is this true of the West Indies and Sonth America, which produce only within a restricted range. With reciprocity, then, we hold the balance of power, for we can say, 'Give us your trade or we will deny you ours.' We have an advantage impossible to estimate. Reciprocity is free trade with a string to it, and we hold the string! "Related questions to this are, first, the preservation of the seal herds in the Bering sea, the definition of the boundary line between Alaska and the British possessions in the northwest, the restricting of immigration and bimetallism. Regarding the seal question, it looks to me as if Canada and Great Britain were imposing upon onr good nature mightily to interfere in this matter at all. In the first place the seals are practically our own property, but Great Britain steps in with a proposition for us to divide it with her little protege, Canada, who, by the way, derives- four times the revenue from the seal .herds that we do—gets four times tho revenue from our own seals that wo do gurselves I Now, this is not a question of sentiment, but of selfishness, and no other nation can accuse us of improper conduct if we authorize the killing of the entire pack outright. That, to my mind, is the most equitable solution of the problem. "As to immigration, the lines will probably be drawn tightly about the prospective citizen from foreign parts. Further than this I do not wish to be quoted. Only this: When our system is congested, we usually take a rest—and take a pill. We certainly do need a rest, and the immigrant—well, it looks as though ho might get the pill.

Finance.

"Financial legislation, the currency question? That depends upon the conntry at largo more than upon individual preference. As conditions are at present we are superabundantly rich in money. We are about to receive the pay for our great crops, and in gold. The balance of trade is now in our favor. For many years Europe has been paying for onr crops in our own securities. But now she is banding over the cash and wishes she had those securities back. Yes, there may be financial legislation, but upon what lines I cannot now predict. In fact, I would rather not express an opinion. But there is one related tipc yon should not overlook in the nature of experimental legislation, and that is something entirely novel, even as an idea. I refer to the proposed establishment of the postal savings bank system. A bill for its establishment, I am assured on good authority, will be intro duced in the simplest possible form, containing, including the enacting clause, less than 300 words. This bill will be presented by the junior senator from

Illinois, Mr. Mason^ who created such a sensation last spring by his bel-

ligerency speech on Cuba, it will limit proposed dbposits to $250 and interest to 2 or 8 p*?r cent also provide for the safe investment of the vast amount of capital that will undoubtedly flow into governmental coffers from this source. "Will there be further tariff legislation? Not of a nature calculated to disturb the business of the country in the slightest degree. But no work of that sort has ever reached perfection at first, and I suppose the enemies of the bill will rasp ft a bit and the friends will wish to polish it up a little.

no matter, the intent was good enough. Somebody's backbone relaxed that was all! The coming session Is to be a business one. Domestic matters, such as public buildings, river and harbor bilte. farmtry nrams, civil service—a sab Jec* painful to contemplate—will surely receive attention. One thing, however, do not forget—God helps tbews who ln-ip

Sin of the Brain.

The British Association For the Advancement of Science at its annual meeting took np among other things the study of the structure of human beings. It comments on the manner in which the human anatomy is put together in order to give grace and freedom of action. These peculiarities are to a great extent wanting in the lower animals. The marked superiority of the hand over the fore paw of any creature is dwelt upon. The brain comes in for special study. It is said that the brains of boys weigh more at their birth than those of girls and that men of great intellectual power have brains that weigh 55 or 60 ounces, while brains of imbeciles may not weigh over iJO ounces. While this may be and probably is trne, the question arises as to whether quantity is the thing to be sought after in the brain. Many of our intellectual giants have been exceedingly small men, with heads that could by no possibility contain a 60 ounce brain.

We live far above the level where power, ability and greatness can be measured with a pocket rule, a tapeline or a pair of scales. Quality so far outranks quantity that it is not to be mentioned in the same connection. By ingenuity, deftness and forethenght a man may perform prodigies of labor without the exercise of as much muscle as other men would employ in doing a tithe of the work. It would be interesting if the British association would give us the exact size, weight, etc., of the brains of noted individuals by name. Generaliza tion is very well, but there area great many thinking persons who would like to know bow many men have brains that weigh 60 ounces.—New York Ledger.

Pullman's Giant Passenger. There was one story of his career that Mr. Pullman used to tell with manifest delight.

One night, going out of Chicago, a long, lean, ugly man, with a wart on his cheek, came into the depot. He paid George M. Pullman 50 cents, and half a berth was assigned him. Then he kicked off his boots, which were of sur prising length, turned into the berth, and, having an easy conscience, was sleeping like a healthy baby before the car left the depot. Along came another passenger and paid his 50 cents. In two minutes he was back at George Pullman vM "There a man ill that be^th of mine, said he hotly, "and he's about ten feet high. How am I going to sleep there, I'd like to know? Go and look at him."

In went Pullman—mad too. The tall, lank man's knees were under his chin, his arms were stretched across the bed, and his feet were stored com fortably—for him. Pullman shook him until he awoke, and then told him if he wanted the whole berth he would have to pay $1. "My dear sir," said the tall man, contract is a contract. I have paid you 50 cents for half this berth, and, as fou see, I am occupying it. There's the other half," pointing to a strip about fix inches wide. "Sell tliat and don't disturb me again." And, so saying, the man with a wart on his face went to sleep again. He was Abraham Linaoln.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

"I have it on the authority of William Dean Howells and other eminent Bostonians that there is in the capital of Massachusetts a certain clergyman of widespread fame who, unknown to the world at large, is a Romany. Every summer this reverend gentleman cannot resist joining some gypsy band and roaming from place to place as his kindred have done since within the memory of man. Little do the good man's congregation dream that, while they picture him as sedately journeying abroad, he is sitting beside gypsy campfires and chattering the wild Romany tongue, to all intents and purposes a vagrant. But, as Mr. Howells pointed out, none ever heard it said that this preacher preached any the worse for his wild, free life ov road and prairie. Indeed the increased vigor aud eloquence of his sermons immediately after each successive annual 'vacation* have long been matters of comment .in Boston." Washington Star.

In a Few Rare Cases Only,

"Apart frd— well known use," said a doctor, "chloroform has been discovered to possess a virtue which was hardly expected of it. "It has been observed in a few rare cases that after an operation under chloroform on a child of weak intellect there has been a general sharpening up of its wits and signs of increased intelligence which was not merely transient

Insensibility of the brain is, of gpcurse, induced by the ansesthetic, and with the return of consciousness parts of the brain which have hitherto been dormant or not sufficiently active share in the general awakening, having received from the reaction some stimulus which was the germ of greater and permanent activity."—Strand Magazine.

.,,r «A Thirst "ITor Knowledge

The country clergyman was nailing a refractory creeper to a piece of trellis work near his front gate when he noticed that a small boy stopped aud watched him with great attention. "Well, my young friend," he said* pleased to see the interest he excited, "are you looking out for a hint or two on gardening?" "No," said the youth, "I be waiting to see what a parson do say when he hammers his thoomb."— Cincinnati Enquirer.

The CharmTftf the Poppies.

Very ancient is the history of the popy. It was wreathed with the lotus in igyptand twined with thyme and parsBy in Greece. It was also one of the lowers dedicated to Venus, and the ritches who wrought their spells and

Buttered

their incantations on the

aountain tops cast into their brew the iorned leaves. It was early recognized that the popsy in its simplest fcrm is one of the tost decorative of flowers. Its simplest 0rm is, of course, the wild flower of bur petals. It is treated decoratively in (number of ways,.either as a flat deign of the lifted cup or as a convenional representation of the four petals ncircling the receptacle or as the stem tpholding the domelike and sometimes trongly ridged Seed pod but, after all, he most marvelous artistic suggestions tre found in the sharply outlined leaves vhich rise to slender Gothic points. Phese serve as models of leaf design and rere carved boldly and delicately in the tone of ancient cathedrals.

There is always something artificial the appearance of the cultivated poplies. They lack the stability or reality md ever suggest the gypsy masqneradng as the princess.

Poppies, with very few exceptions, ire not in the least difficult to grow. Seed sown in the fall or spring will iroduce plants that flower all summer. Chey do not demand an enriched soil ind profuse watering, but grow in an ndependent, careless fashion that is a •elief after an experience of the exacion of some plants.—Nancy M. Waddle

A Domestic Echo.

An east end man went down town in a Euclid motor a few days ago, and by the time the car reached Dunham avenue he was fast asleep. The conductor came af his fare, but the oitirau was oblivion of the fact The conductor reached forward and shook him. The citizen swayed slightly, but he didn't wake up. Then the conductor reached forward again and gave the sleeper a violent push. The latter merely shook himself and then growled in a distinctly audible voice: "Quit your pushing 1 There's plenty of room on your dde.

The laugh that followed woke him up.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Swiss Glaciers.

Who owns the glaciers and moraines of Switzerland—the state, the cantons or the townships? As no grass grows on them no one seems heretofore to have ciSred who owns them, but by a recent decision in the Canton Valais they be long to the communities within ivhose limits they lie.

Lavender is still used in English lin en closets, but the supply is unreasoned with extinction. The growers in tho village of Eitchin, one of the chief centers of the lavender industry, assert that owing to a succession of bad seasons the plant is dying out there, and that, mora over, they cannot compete with foreign imitations of lavender water.

A World of Good.

"I have taken several bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla and it has done me a world of good. My ailments were backache, and in fact, I ached all over. Hood's Sarsaparilla completely cured me. My brother has taken Hood's Sarsaparilla with benefit." MRS. MARTHA LLOYD, Rosedale, Indiana.
