The amendment, championed by Representative Raker of California, and other Pacific coast congressmen, does not mention the Japanese by name, but raises the immigration bars against them in broad, generous terms under the name of "Asiatics."

Admiral Dewey declared that the Naval Board had not recommended Norfolk as the site for a 1700-foot drydock, but that naval experts fa vored the Philadelphia yard. Senator Oliver submitted to the Senate memorials and petitions from Philadelphia organizations protest ing against the currency bill and the income tax. Democratic Senators expressed some concern over the failure to fix a time to vote on the currency bill, but were still "hopeful that it would be adopted next week. President Wilson's speech at Gettysburg on the Fourth of July has been translated into Spanish by the Minister from Paraguay for cir culaton among his people. Senator Oliver, of Pennsylvania, returned from Europe and made em phatic denial of the story that he had broken with Senator Penrose, whose re-election he said he favored.

He Money Hidden by a Miser. .More monev has been found on the Georgo Carncrosa farm about five miles west of the vlllnge of Earlville, Chenango county M. Foster, who now owns the place, while remodel ing the stables in the barn several days ago, found secreted in the base of one of the stanchions a tin can containing over $50 in silver coins. The dates on the coins were in the '70's, showing that in all probability they had been hidden for more than 30 years. It was some 10 or 12 years ago that George Carncross, an old miser, was found dead in the house on his farm. After his death a fortune was found hidden in out of the way places about the house and barn. Some $1,700 was found hid den in an old rubber boot which was hanging from a rafter in the attic, and in tin cans and old receptacles about the cupboard. In all $17,000 was found, which was adjusted in County Court and the money turned over to Carncross' sister, whose home Is in Wampsvllle. uil!!;iliiiijv 1 11,1 IB m II flUVKiTl. .

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY SAVORY COOKING. "I will say that on my recent visit I found the cooking in the hotels and restaurants throughout Scandinavia to be excellent," said Luis Jackson of the Erie railroad. "In the hotels of the largo and small cities of Scan dinavia considerable attention is paid to the preparation of food, though the table d'hote Is generally restrict ed to a few things. It is well known that the cooking in the great Ameri can hotels is as good as anywhere In the world, but It is an admitted fact, that the cooking in the hotels of our small towns, such as Canaryvllle, Podunk, and Itabbltt Center, is poor and unsavory. The trouble being that in 'making up their bills of fare they endeavor to imitate in length those of the hotels in large cities, with .the result that good cooking is sacrificed to an Indifferently cooked variety. "Preliminary to the dinner in Scandinavia, especially in Norway and Sweden, one partakes of the ap petizers (hors-d oeuvre) on the smorgasbord. These consist ,of .a variety of dishes, ham, smoked sausages, smoked salmon, sardines, sardells, a variety of cheeses, rad ishes, cucumber salad arid pickles, with bread and butter. After this a dinner of regular courses is Eerved. A great Scandinavian Institution is the sandwich, sold at restaurants, railway stations, etc. Thl3 consists of one slice of bread with meat or cheese on It. They do not put a sllca of bread on top as we do. The oread is the smallest part of it. The smok ed, sausage, in every variety, or ham, overlaps the 'bread. These sand wiches cost from four cents up :n our money. They are small and one can eat several of them, but they will, I think, take first pfizo in com petition with any sandwiches frovn other parts. At the railway stations and in the restaurants of small pleas ure steamers, one of the most popu lar dishes is beefsteak and onions. The beefsteak, however, Is not to be compared with our steak. It Is fried instead of broiled, and is merely a thin slice of beef, but it is covered with a thick layer of well fried onions. As I said, everything is sav orily cooked. - MENNER CO.

At this joyful Yuletido season, every heart is full of cheer, Peace and good will toward all man kind 'Tis the best time of all the year, The children's eyes are sparkling Their cheeks are all aglow, Theyv are expecting dear old Santa, With a lot of gifts you know. Why is the world so full of gladness? Can anybody tell? Tell again the sweet old story, while our hearts with rapture swell. How our Father up in glory, His love for us will nevfcr cease Sena a Saviour down from heaven, Sent His Son the Prince of Peace. How in the little town of Bethlehem, the lowly Christ, our Lord, was born, A wondrous gift to tne world was given, on that first Christmas morn. The kings of earth gave Him no wel come, In no royal cradle did He lay, But Instead a humble stable In a manger filled with hay. To the faithful shepherds watching, glad tidings came that night, When over the plain and hillside, they saw a marvelous light. A voice was then heard speaking in accents sweet and clear, Telling oi God's great goodness, And bidding them not to fear. Long had they waited for the Mes siah; think how glad they must nave been, When they heard the Angels singing Peace on earth good will toward men! For the whole host of heaven came to tell the story Melodious anthems filled the air, to Uod gave they the glory. Hastened were the shepherds' foot steps to where the star's bright 'ray, Seemed to beckon to them and clear ly show the way. Still from heaven a light Is shining, uod s word tnat all might see As they sought and found Jesus, even so may we. Christ's love so great and terider, sun sneas its guiding rays. Let us like the lowly shepherds offer up our ardent praise. Mabel S. Dexter, Milanvillo, Pa. The possibilities of profitable farm ing have again been shown by the Long Island cauliflower growers, who will realize some $300,000 on this year s crop. This result has been made possi ble not by improvements in growing the vegetables merely, but by a line and carefully managed system of marketing. The association has sent 374 refrigerator cars out of River- head, and will send fifty more before the season closes, in addition to big shipments to New York and Brook lyn in ordinary cars. The crop has thus been distributed among four teen outside cities, thus preventing v glut in any one market and main taining a high level of prices. That Is the sort of work which ought to be done for farmers all over the country by commercial agencies. But so far as the middlemen have done it heretofore they have been looking out for their own pockets chiefly and the farmers had to take what was left, a process which has discouraged raising vegetables for One Piece Dresses, Velvet Gowns, Messaline Silk Dresses, Charmeuse Draped Dresses, Chiffon and Marquisette, Wool Poplin and Serge Dresses, White Wash Voile Dresses, Children's Coats, Infants' Capes, Infants' Knit Sacques, Misses Gloves and Mits, Men's and Ladies' MENNER & C0S I Bath Robes. 1 STORES I city markets. Now that the Suffolk county farmers have shown that they can both raise and market crops, combinations ought to he made with distributing agencies in the cities which will do the work for a fair profit. At present prices there Is money enough In farm produce for a living profit for both farmers and middlemen. But if middlemen re fuse to "play fair" in the matter, Cuffolk farmers, have s- - that they can handle both ends of the business, and thus reap both profits.
