Three of the greatest books In the world have narrowly escaped destruc tion, the "Aeneld of Virgil." the works of Aristotle and the great body of Jew ish tradition represented by the "Tal mud." It Is recorded that Virgil on his death bed sought to burn the only copy of the "Aeneld," as he had not revised It, and when be was foiled In this he ordered his executors, Varro and Tucca, not to give It to the world, direction which was disregarded by order of the Emperor Augustus. The works of Aristotle suffered from neg lect. Tbey lay many years burled in a cellar, and when, by mere accident, they were at last unearthed, they were so damaged by damp and dirt that In many passages they are hopelessly cor-' rupt How great would have been the loss of this work to the human race cay be judged from the fact that everything that was known In the mid dle ages of the arts and sciences was derived directly from these writings. The "Talmud" nearly became extinct through persecution. The possession of the "Talmud," by a long series of edicts, extending over many centuries, was made penal, and the book Itself was burned. No fewer than twenty four wagon loads of "Talmud" manu script were burned In France In 1244, Stray Stories.

Senator HcveridKc deliver a Ions oration on our duty in the Philippines, lie contends that the natives nre not fit ted for self-Rovernmctit. and that the islands arc the key to the open door of all the cast. Anions; the many bills introduced were: Uy Mr. Penrose Appropriating $.1,000,000 for the con struction of public roads in the United Slates, the money to be distributed nmoiifi the several states in proportion to the mileage of their roads, 11 y Mr. Fairbanks KxtcndiiiK the immigra tion, contract labor and Chinese exclu sion laws of the United States to the Hawaiian Islands. NINTH DAY. The Senate paid eloiuent tribute of respect and affection to the memory of the late Vice President Garrett A. Ito bart. Mr. I'rvc laid before the Senate the report of Secretary of Treasury (iaRe as to the depositories of revenue funds in various national banks. It was referred and ordered printed. Senator Allen introduced a bill in the Senate KrantiiiK a pension of $10 a month to every soldier and sailor who served in the civil war tvr three months or more. TF.NTII DAY. The report of the committee appoint ed to nominate the standing committees of the Senate presented its report, and, contrary to expectation, it was adopted by acclamation at once. Husbands de relict in duty to their families by failitiR to provide for their support, cither while living together or apart, nre, under the provisions of the bill introduced by Representative Adams, to be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. The penalty allixed for the guilty is a sentence at hard labor in some workhouse or coun ty jail, the court havitiR 110 discretion. Another bill affecting the marriage re lat ion by the same author makes de mentia for twenty years and insanity, with confinement in asylum for ten years, grounds for divorce. KI.KYF.NTH DAY. The House of Representative dodg ed a direct expression of sentiment on the resolution expressing sympathy for the Hoers. Mr. Ilrumbaugh made ait eloquent appeal for its adoption. The resolution of Senator Dodge providing for the printing and distribution of q, .100 sets of Howe's History of Ohio, calling for an expenditure of $14,000, was adopted. The F.lmer bill authoriz ing board of education to issue bonds in $.150,000 to complete two higli school buildings in Cleveland, was pass ed. There were again four or five witness es before the Senate committee to-dav in connection with the attack on the right of Senator Clark, of Montana, to his scat in the Senate. About the last of January the Philippine commission will submit their full report to the president. President Schurman was nt the White House Thursday to announce that pro gress was being made ami that before February the work of the committee will be completed. In the full report each commissioner will deal with a separate subject. It has been suggested in the Congress by both Senators and Repre sentatives that a joint committee of members might be named for that pur pose. It would be very popular and al so very expensive, but it is insisted that it would be a better way of preparing Congress for legislative action than the plan of making up a commission out side of Congress ami expecting mem bers of both Houses to read their report after it had been made in order to be come informed. House. TENTH DAY. An unusual amount of routine busi ness including the presentation of peti tions and introduction of bills was trans acted by the Senate. Among the bills introduced was one by Mr. Spooner (Wis.), provided in brief that when the insurrection in the Philippines shall have been suppressed, the government of the islands shall be vested in such person or citizens as the president may direct, until Congress shall direct how the islands shall be governed. ELEVENTH DAY. The Senate confirmed the following nominations: Frank H. Morris, of Ohio, to be auditor for the War department: W. W. Ilrown, of Pennsylvania, to be auditor for the Navy department. The interest in the Quay case is now wholly secondary to that manifested in the con test to unseat Senator W. A. Clark, of Montana, on charges of wholesale brib ery of the Legislature of that State. The House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, ordered a fa vorable report upon the Hcnburn bill foi the construction of the Nicaragua canal. Got Evan With the Government In the rank and file of the army no subject is more frcmiently commented upon than General Otis' extreme con scientiousness in matters of petty detail, says the Chicago Tribune. During an advance on the north line recently one company had to lie down at the side of the road for shelter from the well-directed volleys of the insurgents. One of the privates had dropped his haversack in the middle of the road away back, and, after the company had laid down, he calmly .stood up and walked down the road toward the lost haversack. He made a fine target for the insurgents and the bullets rattled around him pretty lively. "Here, come back here. O'Mallcy," yelled the Lieutenant of the company. "You'll be killed." "Well," replied O'Malley over his shoulder, "I might jest as well be killed as have General Otis a runnin' me up hill and down dale and comin' over to me house ivery mornin' and a savin", 'O'Malley, why don't you pay the Gov ernment for that haver.ack?' " Then he calmly walked on and got the lost piece of property and, as he came bark and sat down just in time to escape a volley of Mausers, he threw the haversack on the ground and said: "And when he docs come to-morrow mornin' to me house I'll say, 'Otis, me little man, you're dead wrong. I never lost no haveysack. There's yonr bloody old potato bag. Take it to the Govern ment with mc compliments.' " A three-mile liquor law forbids all rum selling within that distance of the Iowa v State Agricultural College, at Ames, and at the next Legislature an attempt will be made to afford the same protection to the State University, at Jowa City.

'."he annual report of the third as sistant postmaster general contains strong testimony In favor of the hon esty and efficiency of the postal service, writes William E. Curtis In the Chi cago Record. During the past fiscal year the postmasters of the United States and their assistants handled 1198,653,644, of Which S9ft.U21.384 was receipts from the sale of stamps, boxes, money orders, etc., and the balance was disbursed for various expenses. Of this enormous sum the entire loss to the government by burglary, fire, bad debts, embezzlement and all oth er forms of carelessness and dishon esty was only 119,358. I doubt If any private firm, bank or corporation, or any Institution In the world' that re ceives and disburses money, can show so good a record, and yet we keop talking about tho Inefficiency and cor ruption of the public- service and other evils of partisan appointments. It may bs said, too, that the customs collec tions and the business of tho Internal revenue olllce will show similar evi dence of honesty and efficiency In our public service. Vp In Ur..nlNDil.
