One secret of the willow's marvelous tenacity of life is to be found, perhaps in the fact that it sends its roots a long way in search of moisture. It was dis covered, after an important aqueduct had caved in, that its walls were crack ed and filled for many feet with roots.

The son of Count Tolstoi, who is now in Paris, has been questioned as to his father's book on the Franco-Russian fetes, which has been announced for publication.

This is to be the general theme of the new book. The ice water drinker is just as much f a "fiend" as the morphine eater. In many cases the habit of the former is just as strong as that of the latter, and just as hard to break. It has been frequently demonstrated that the drink ing of ice water is an acquired habit, and not one that comes naturally. Give an infant ice water and you will notice by Its action that the drink is very dis tasteful. It usually has the same effect upon an Idian or upon any person not accustomed to it. Besides, it is very unhealthy, and any person who can avoid drinking ice water should do so. Although the match (has long since supplanted the tinder box, thousands of the antiquated light producers are still made. Adventurers often take a flint end tintler box with them on trips, knowing from experience that if slower than a match it is certainly surer, and in addition to the demand this creates, there are back country regions in Eu rope where the match is comparatively unknown, even now. Then again the white man with his usual ultrosensi tiveness does not see any harm in ship ping tinder boxes, and even the oldest kinds of gun flints to the savages of Africa, who derive sincere delight from using them, especially as the traders are careful to explain that the one is an improvement on the match and the other a great stride toward perfection in firearms. *j- i AROUND THE GLOBE DIGEST OF THE TETIYS FROM AMi PARTS OF THE WORIittt AH Important Occurrences of the Past Wrels, Boiled Down and Arr nnged for Rapid Heading, From Home and Abroad.

WORK OF CONGRESS RESUME OF PROSEEDINGS OF TBQ SEiVATE AND HOUSE. Condensed Record of the Important Transactions of Our National lia^v makeri-The Work Done in Both Branches. Washington, April 28. This was a field day in the senate. There was ma- nouTering, marching, clashing and rapid firing. The bugle notes of defiance had sounded on both sides. Hostilities did not actually begin, but it was apparent that there was no intention that they should begin. There was counter march ins, retreats, and a quick reforming of lines, leaving the contending armies with in the same fortifications and camping on the same grounds as before. Mr. Aldrich demanded that Mr. Harris (Tenn.) speak for the Democratic side and say whether or not the Democrats would vote to-day on the tariff bill as it now stood. All eyes centered upon the sturdy white haired senator from Tennessee, but he did not reply. There were hur ried consultations j-nd then Mr. Harris made a proposition to vote on the senate bill, and followed it up with a request for unanimous consent for such a vote. It wos at once apparent that Mr. Aldx'i^h ("id not intend to accept this offer. Sev o*al Republicans objected to the un mi nims consent, and Mr. Aldrich, with t,cwe difficulty, received recognition. He e-plcined that while he had offered to vote on the house bill, he had only asked the Democratic senators if they would vote on the senate bill. Further than this he made the proposition to the sn v\e and not to the Demociatic caucus, which he intimated had been h'ld since Ins in ope ltion had been made. He was act used ot backing down end quibbling, ond Senator Win re of California inti lrated lhar he had been bluffing and had been "called," and also said" that the tifitor fioin Rhode Island would prob Mj undei stand the term. The senate and spectators knew, and an audible di irons* ntion followed the sally. Mr. .i :ch pwdentlj knew what was meant .il leplied bj sajmg that it was not common in places where the words weie applicable to allow the adversary two hours to look o\er his hand before mak lrg the tall, end that was what the Demociatic senators had done. Senator Tellei stated his objections to a vote in v'gorc.is terms, and in rn allusion to the compromise tariff bill brought out a Msruious denial bj Senator Yooihees that an such bill was existence. But the m11rest in the battle had disappeared, thi bugle sounded refloat, and the most dra matic incident of the senate tariff de bate closed Wash.ngton, April 30.The Democrat ic senatois who have been engaged in niepaiiiiar a tariff compiomise considered the suarar duty especially to-day and de idod. besides faxing a tariff of 40 per cent ad valorem on all sugar, to impose a further duty of 1 of a cent on sugar liitpoited from countries paying a bounty to Migai piod^eer This last provision is supposed to be aimed especially at Ceimanv. here a bounty is paid on beet surar It has been decided also to shall take effect until Jan. 1, 1895, which wi'l insure the bounty under the Mc Kjiilej IJW for this season's crop. It is undei stood that these two provisions have been inserted in response to the earnest solicitations of the Louisiana senators. The senate to day resumed con s-deration of the tariff bill. There has as jet been no indication that a time will be agreed upon when a vote shall be taken. In the house the army appropriation bil was taken np. Washington, May 1. -Senator Harris, nho is in chaige of the tanff bill, lost patience to-daj at the way in which prepress was impeded by Senator Hale the morning ho ir. As on several pro ceeding dajs Mr. Hale objected to giving waj* for special measures in the morning hour Finally Mr. Harris abruptly moved that the senate proceed with the coi sideratien of the tariff bill. The feel nig between senators on both sides is growing bitter, and there were several severe passages at arms during the day. The house went into committoe of the whole to consider the army appropria tion bill. Mi. Outhwaite offe-ed a com ittee .'mendment that no appointment ol assistant adjutant geueial with rank of major should be made until the num ber ot officers in that grade had been I educed below four, and that hereafter theie should be onlj fou.: officers in said grade, and that future promotions adjutant generals, paymasters and small er branches should be filled from the next lower grades. The next amendment was agreed to bj* a vote of 49 to 3S. Mr. Pickler (Rep., S. D.) offered an amend ment that no officer of the army should be detailed to act as Indian agent unless the president should consider it best to do so. The chairman ruled the amend ment out on a point of order. Washington, May 2.The senate and house adjourned almost as soon as their sessions began, out of respect 10 Senator Stockbridge's memory. Thtat the rank and file of the Demo cratic party in the senate is becoming cxaspeiated at the delay of consideration of the tariff bill was shown yesterday by a circular in favor of closure of de bate. The paper was prepared by Sen ator George, and was quietly circulated during the afternoon, being handed only to the most influential senators. It was not signed by all to whom it was present ed, some of the senators expressing the opinion that it was too early to attempt a closure, and others declining on prin ciple. The paper recites that it has be ceme apparent that the Republican oppo nents of the tariff are determined to re sort to filibustering to prevent the proper consideration and passage of the bill, and commits the signers to a simple declaration in favor of closure. It makes no 'pecification as to how the change shall be brought about, whether through the presiding officer or the committee on rules, leaving that point, as well as that as to whether it shall be a modified or an absolute closure, to be decided later- Spreading Mornionism in South Seis San Francisco, May 2.A band of enthusiastic Mormon missionaries have arrived here from various parts of Utah.

Prom the start the men came together hard, and during the twenty-five minutes which Moore was al lowed to fight the pace was continuous. The fight was a good one, although it was apparent fiom tne outset that Creedon was too strong for the St. Paul boy. Moore landed plenty of goqd ones, but Creedon was nc worried. Moore secured first blood from the cheek in the third rctnd. Creedon played for the stomach. Moore was very tired after the fifth round, and at the end of the sixth his right eye was closed. As the seventh opened it was plainraitin to be seena that Cree don wras fiddling, o\tend the time when the suear schedule crowd of 100 men battered ia the front for knock-ou- blow. Moore was vicious and tried to land his right with a quietus, but failed. In the eighth Creedon pushed Moore all over the ropes, jabbing him, and at the close found the spot and felled Moore to his side with a short-arm right. Time saved him. The ninth was Moore's Waterloo. Moore came up strong and rushed Dan, who promptly felled him again. Moore half-ducked, and Dan gave a short upper-cut with the left on the point of the jaw. Moore went down on his side and as the fatal ten was counted rolled over on his back and spread out his hands, defeated. Salo.ii Wrecked.
