r- _. L The Resurrection Plant. What is known as the rose of Jericho is possibly the most curious specimen of plant life. The rose of Jericho is said to be brought from the valley of the river of that name and to be* the resurrection plant named in the Bible. When received the plant is simply a bundle of dried, withered and worthless sticks tightly pressed together. If placed in a glass of water the branches will expand, buds and leaves start and the whole plant grows. The Mexican resurrection plant is the fluffy, fern-like variety often noticed in florists' windows, and is a favorite with children, as it quickly expands from a hard ball to a beautiful metallic green plant. The experiment can be repeated many times. There is only one variety of resurrection plants which blossoms. All varieties may be kept indefinitely and the strength seemingly never exhausts it- I self. Manners easily and rapidly mature Into morals.—Horace Mann.

A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes j shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. Read the label. If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish feelings at first.

HOW THE CASH WENT. THE FINANCIAL LEGISLATION OF CONGRESS REVIEWED. 1 1 Mr. Cannon Says the Appropriations AVer# Small and Economical, While Mr. Sayres Says They Were Enormous and Profligate. As Viewed by Both Sides. Chairman Cannon, of the House Appropriations Committee, and ex-Chairman Sayres Thursday made public a joint statement concerning the expenditures authorized by this Congress, discussing them from the Republican and Democratic standpoints respectively The total appropriations for the session, including permanent annual appropriations, is $515,759,820.49. Mr. Cannon’s statement begins: “The appropriations charged to this session include $119,054,100 under the! permanent laws, of which amount $50,000,000 is for sinking fund and $30,500,- 1 000 for interest on public debts, or $3,- ; 855,614.40 more than was included at the J last session of Congress in the statements of appropriations, and is on account of the increase of $162,315,400 in the bonded ; indebtedness of the country by the present administration up to February, 1895, the j interest and sinking fund charge on ac- ' count of the later bond issue of SIOO,- | 000,000 iii February, ISOti, amounting to $4,400,000. not being included in the esti- ! mates of permanent appropriations. Increase in Public Debt. I “The increase in the principal and in- [ terest bearing debt of the country under ; the present administration amounts to ‘ $262,315,400, which entails annual inter- 1 est charge of $1 1. 192.016, rind to meet the sinking fund obligations the further sum

of $2,623,154. “During the administration of Mr. Har । risen the principal of the interest beating debt was reduced $258,192.1100 and the annua! interest charges $10,327,716. “Tite regular annual bills, including deficiencies, as passed by the House made a 1 reduction in the total estimates submit- < ted by the executive of s2<>,OS3 191 G7; I

Mr. Snyrcs' Mutetuent. Mr. Sayres, in his smi.-menf, .ay< <.f the total appropriations f c toe si s’.on: “This sum exceeds the appropriations made during the last session of the Fifty- i third Congress by $1x,77»1,299 S 3. and those ot the first regular session . f that Congress by $23,02W13*>.4t>. It is le-s than the appropriations by tl.v see..nd session of the Fifty-se.-m l C.mgros> by only $3,744,538.72, although nt the latter session $39,302,49 l.x, > more . appropriated for pensions than at this session. It is more than those by the first session of the Fifty-tirst Congress by $21.3i>3.571.84, and $25,4*>4,04('.50 less than the appropriations at the second session of the Fifty-tirst. “The Senate, organized this session by a combination of Republican and Populist votes, placing the control of committees in the bands of Republicans, by its ; amendments to appropriation bills as they passed the House, propose ! to im A ase tiie total 822,02!*,442.30. By cmferenct s between the two Houses this aggregate Increase was reduced to $12,2X3.81,8.24. “The appropriations made at the second i session of the Fifty-first Congress exceed- ! ed those made at the first session of the same Congress by $46,767,612.64, or nearly 10 per cent. If the same proportionate increase should be made at the next session, then the appropriations will not be less than ssl*s.ooo,o<*<*.'’ Contracts authorized by this session he estimates as follows: Rivers and harbors. $59,616,404: public 1 buildings, lighthouses and revenue cutters,

$1,406,000; defenses armament, sfr 195,076; new warships, $12,900,bu0; District of Columbia, $125,000. Total, s7»r 241,480. , . He says that the total expenditures * one fiscal year have never been so grea except during the civil war and excee the assessed valuation of property in aw one of the South Atlantic States. In conclusion Mr. Sayres says: . “If the present Congress had rigidly refused authority for additional contracts and had appropriated only to meet the ho mediate or fiscal year requirements unde existing ones, the next Congress and a ministration would have been iu a position to largely reduce appropriations and expenditures, and the administration of tbs government could easily have returned tv an economical method of expenditure. This, however, has not been done, and the majority in Congress must be held responsible for this grave dereliction iu pu lie duty.” THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION. Three Men XX ho Are Candidates for the Honor. With the Republican nomination dis- ! posed of, the attention of the country wid be directed toward Chicago, where th? Democratic convention will meet July < to place in nomination candidates lot President and Vice-President and adopt a platform. Who the nominees will be is a matter of conjecture, but. a pie. s ' spondent says, there is no longer u . doubt that the platform will u?c:are for the free coinage of silver. Ihe silver < e ment will control the gathering nnd : doubtless dictate the nomination, n hetb- , or they select an out-and-out silver man ' for President or take a milder one solid siher with a gold lining—-will depend upon circumstances that cannot la- foreseen. The present probabilities favor Horace Boies, of lowa, but there are other strong candidates, such as William R. Morrison

of Illinois, Richard Park Blnnd of Missouri. James E. Campbell of Ohio, Claude Matthews of Indiana, and Benjamin R. Tillman of South Carolina. All of these are too well known to require even a brief biography. Mr. Campbell is the distinguished ex Governor of Ohio, who defeated Foraker and was himself defeated by McKinley ami Bushnell.
