Since the first session of congress one week ago today ft largo amount of work has been accomplished con ?iilcr lug that this is tho first session of a new congress. No legislation of importance has been ao!uaPy en acted but a gratifying number of preliminary details bnve been dis posed of. On Tuesday the president's mes sage was rend in both bouses and met with the almost universal ap proval of the meml)ers, but two rec ommendations meeting with any op position from the republicans. Those are Colonel Roosevelt's adv -cacy of the inauguration of a federal irrigiition system and tils advice on the subject of reciprocity which is not concurred in by some of t lie members of bis party. As soon us the message bad been read and re ferred to the commit lee of the whole by the bouse that body adjourned until Friday. Before adjournment, however, a large number of bills were filed with the clerk, the total number ag gregating over two thousand. Among the bills which have been introduced are measures providing for Chinese exclusion, Hie enforce ment of the Diugley tariff schedules in the Philippines, a measure made necessry by the setting aside of the present tariff law as applied to the islands by n supreme court decision, numerous hills 'ntended to suppress anarchy and punish attempts on the life of the president, n bill provid ing a pension of $")00() per annum for Mrs. MoKinley, a bill providing for the reservation of 4,000,000 acres of forest land in the southern Appa lachian mountains to be known as the McKinloy national park, and numerous bills intended to remedy the evils attendant upon the forma tion of trusts. Probably the mostlmportant work in the house has been the nomina tion by Speaker Henderson of the ways and means committee, the ap propriations committee and the committee on enrolled bills. The ways and means committee Is com posed of Representatives Payne, Hopkins, Grosvenor, Russell, Steele, Tawuey, MoCall, Long, Babcock, Metcalfe, republicans, Richardson, Robertson, Swansnn, McClellan, Newlsnds and Cooper, democrats. This includes one more republican and one less democrat than former ly, Speaker Henderson believing that in view of the increased major ity in the house, the republicans were entitled to increased represen tation on this important committee. Immediately after the appoint ment of the committee it met in the capitol to discuss the Philippine tar iff situation and another meeting was held on Saturday. No time will be lost in reporting a bill which will meet with the approval of a majority of both the house and sea ate. It is the hope of Speaker Hen c'erson and Chairman Payne that this necessary legislation may be en acted before the holiday adjourn ment. Senator Lodge introduced a bill into the tenate providing for the application of the Dingley bid to the Philippines, but as all revenue legis lation should originate in the house, it is probable that the senator's bill will give way to that reported by the ways and means committee. On Wednesday the somite receiv ed from the president the report of the Isthmian caiuil commission aud the liay-i'auucef jte treaty. The provisions of the treaty accorded with the predictions made in those letters. It cl!s for no compensa tion to Great Britain in return for the abrogation of the Clayton-Bui wer treaty and leaves the United States the scla master of the canal with the right to fortify or other wise protect it and requires the sim ple pledge, that the canal shall be maintained as a neutral waterway. The convention was immediately re ferred to the committee on foreign relations and Friday that committee unanimously voted to recommend it for ratification. Senator Burrows tells me that he believes the meas ure will receive the voto of every repu'u'ioau senator and a suf.k'ieiit numb, r of d.sui icratio votes to in jure its ptr-r-: g. Senator Jones, the democrat:'! leader, d -s not believe that there will be any formal iqpo ft:. Ml by l ho democratic leaders. The l.-.thmhin canal commission f.iVois tl.u N iearag uan route, the cor.t i.f which It. e-.tlumt'-.s at 1 fc',1, i I ' .', Tills en luil w ill lunetobe i v .'.li l '(ls Itiid wi'.l be without harbor facilities a cither end. It Is estimated that it can brf completed in elaht years and the total length would be 1SII miles. The cost of completing tho Panama canal is placed nt tM4,3:S3,:ir8 and the amount required to purchase the canal from the French company $1011,141,000, although the conimis sion values the work done at. only 110,000,000. In favor of the Panama route it may be said that, it. would be a sea level canal, only forty-nine miles long, that it has harbors nt each end and that it would cost 1,300,000 per annum Ies to operate than the Niearagiian canal. The commission unqualifiedly recom mends tha Nicaragitan route and Senator Morgan has already intro duced his bill providing for in construction. In view of the fact that at the ex plration of fifty years the original cost of the Nicaragiiiin route plus the increased cost of maintenance for that- period will have equalled the total cost of the Panama route if it were chosen and that subse quent to that time the United States would bo relieved of an annual ex pense of 113,000,000; that vessels would find a harbor at either end of the canal aud that the time consum ed in traversing the Nicaragua!! canal will amount to thirty three hours as against twelve hoars for the Panama ciiial, it would seem difficult to understand the grounds on which the commission recom mends the former route. A further consideration should not be lost, sight of, however, and that is that the French oompauy holds out for a price approximately $70,000,(100 in excess of the amount at which the co.nmission values the work done. In view of this fact a reasonable surmise u that the com mission and congress intend to pro Coed with the preliminaries loosing to the construction of the Ninitrn guan canal with the hope that it may induce the French owners of the Panama route to listen to rea son and accept the commission's valuation of 140,000,000 on their plant. If they can be induced t j do this the total cost of the canal would not exeee 1, assuming that the com mission's estimates are correct, $189,000,000, aud an annual saving of $13, 000,000 would have been, ef fected.

In spite of the fact that the word '.'dyspepsia" means literally "bad cook," it will not be fair for many to lay the blame on the cook if they begin the Christmas Dinuor with little appetite and end it with dis tress or nausea. It may not be fair for any let us hope for the ske of the cook I The disease dyspepsia indicates a bad stomach, that is a weak stomach, rather than a bad cook, and for a weak stomach there is nothing else equal to Hood's Ssr sapanlla. It gives the stomach vigor and tone, cures dyspepsia, creates appetite, and makes eating the pleasure it should be. Saw Deith Nesx. "It often made my heart ocho," writes L. C.

He located at Portland, Pa., and soon by ener gy and skill established a lucrative practice. Failing health compelled him to relinquish business and some six weeks ago be came to bis former home. At first it was thought, that his malady might yield but as time elapsed the fond hopes of his par ents ami friends faded as lie daily grew weaker and it was seen that bis life was surely ebbing away. He was a most, estimable young man of decided talent and no doubt had his life bren spared would have had n prosperous and success ful career.

Miss Lloyd on Monday In her talk on hygiene in the schoolroom ad vised teachers to seo to the physical comfort as well as the mental ad vancement of the pupils. Discipline and the success of the schools de- ponds largely on the hygionio rules observod. She described the old fashioned school aud her experience in teaching and struggles to regu late the temperature of the room. She spoke of dress and of the man ner of eating and warned against carelessness in both. Tuesday morning during singing and devotional exercises the sun broke through the thick clouds pre saging a bright day and many ac oepted it as an omen of success lor the institute, in which certainly they were not mistaken. Miss Lloyd further elaborated her previ ous subject discussing temperance and declared the only safety to be in total abstinence. If boys wish good situations they must be sober as well as intelligent and must avoid bad companions. Large em ployers are fast refusing to accept men who drink. Her illustrations of the evil effects of drinking were exctdleut. Miss Partridge followed with a talk on language. She believes chil dren are more apt to use better language than their elders and si; id they had both fluency aud discrim ination and thought the former more important than correction A child of eight years uses from 800 to 1500 words and they si o dd be induced to talk and recite more in their own aud lens in the language of tho tea-jht r and text books. Tho committee on enrollment, Caroline Vicinus, Abbie Edwards, Arthur Kramer, Nettie Myers and Ella Westbrook, repotted as having fixed the fee nt tho usual sum of $1. Mrs. Byron W. Kinthen talked on calisthenics and siio pnvn the teachers a drill In a few of the sun- pie exercises. Prof. King then dis cussed rending. Ho thinks too many other studies are crowded in the reading class and .that more time should lie spent in studying the thought of the wrter. His humor- ons anecdotes and illustrations kept his hearers in a highly amused oon dition. Miss Partridge gave further sng. gestions on how to improve tho lan guage of oli'ldreu and Miss Lloyd spoke of the best, methods of teach ing physiology in the school giving several valu ibia hinti On the teach ing of this important and interest ing study. Mrs. King ilhutr.itcl tho pvopor method of walking, gave a series of calisthenio exorcisos and favored the teachers in a delightful manner with a solection from Wordsworth. The remaining time was occupied by Prof. King, -vho talked on liter ature. Wednesday morning's session was opened with singing and devotional exercises conducted by Rflv. Sween ey. Miss Lloyd then addressed the institute on the ovil effects of tobac co, especially cigarette smoking, and besought boys to abstain from a disgusting and obnoxious habit which stunted both physionl and mental growth. Miss Partridge then talked on writing. Sinoe a child must learn to write by writ ing, teach it. to write by teaching it to love to write. Practice makes perfect in all things, but the teach ing of science does not give the art. Do not discourage a child by too severejv criticising its work.' Cor recting the paper does not oorroot the error which does not lie In the paper but in theohild's idea. Teach the child to use better and purer language. Mrs, King then gave a series of exercises in physical cul ture and reoited "The Artist's Secret." Dr. King talked on the subject of "Eloontion." There are three modes of expressing ourselves, namely: Action, voice and words, and thore is both science and art in speaking. His witty remarks were pointed with valuable hints and exeroises in vocal training. In the afternoon Miss Lloyd answered questions propounded during the week and gave a short address on "The Possi bilities of Country Schools." She then having finished her work de parted. She uses plain language but is an instructive teacher and her remarks are replete with ster ling sance. Miss Partridge gave her ideas on writren language aud a new meth od of correcting children's papers, also suggestions on how to secure proper spelling, neatness and cor rectness in them. Dr. King con sutned the balance of the session with a talk on "The Light of Imag ination." PERSONALS Robinson Shepherd of Edgemere was in town Wednesday. Horace E.

Restoration to Life. .In drowning, strangulation, gns suffocation and tho like, the body Is in a healthy condition, death result ing from stoppage of respiration and heart action. The actual restoration of life by renewing breathing and the circulation of the blood, is now known to be possible. This has been demonstrated In Europe by a series of 100 experiments on dogs, in which 16 out, of 21 animals that had been killed by chloroform were brought back to life. The process consists in forcing air through a tube into the lungs at the usual breathing rate, and in opening the chest and squeezing the heart in imitation of the natural contractions. A Danish physician has reported a trial in the case of a man that had died under chloroform. The heart was reached through an opening cut in the chest wall, and was squeezed rhythmically for half an hour, air being at the same time forced into the lungs, and as a result respiration was set up and only an occasional compression was needed to keep the heart going. Life con tinued several hours, when breathing ceased and the patient was dead again. New Faint. Cerusine, the new oil paint substi tute of M.
