Capltol Habits.

They have some very bad habits at
Washington. One of them is custom
for the employees in the house wing of the
capitol to carry off everything in the shape
of furniture and fixtures from the com
mittee-rooms at the close Of congress. 4
clerk of one of the house committees re-
Gently appointed found that the room Of
his committee had been stripped of nearly
everything that could be carried off. 1t
takes about $4,000 year to reft the de-
spoiled committee-rooms with the neces'
sary furniture. These wreckers of the
capitol find it profitable to administer on
the residuum of an extravagaDt congress,
From the Both of June last to the 1st OF
December the clerk Of the house paid out
$685. for pocket-books and card-cases,
and 81 ,573 for gold pens and pencils tC
replace those that had been stolen
Another indefensible practice that has
no other warrant than precedent is that Of
furnishing members with pocket-knives
gold pens, street-car tickets and carriages
at the public expense-a habit that costs
about 800, 900 year. Each member has
the choice of drawing 1925 worth of sta
tionery Ia term which includes paper pens
pencils, WRISTBANDS, pocket-books, knives
&c., per annum. or the money in place o
it; but the rule is said to be for member!
to draw all the stationery they need ant
the money too

THE CUNARD LINE,
pany-- Magnitude and Importance OF
It's Fleet--Its perfect Management.

A recent issue OF the London Times con-
tains an interesting history of the Cunard
Steamship company from the time when
Messrs, Cunard, Burns & McIver first dis
patched the Britannia from Liverpool to
Boston, July 4, 1910. She arrived in
fourteen days, which is only three days
longer than the steamers of this line usual
ly occupy in making the distance now.
She was received with salutes, and Mr..
Cunard, who came out in her, was enter
tanned with banquet. For seven years
the Britannia, Acadia. Columbia and
Caledonia, reinforced by two others of in
creased dimensions and power-the Hi
hernia and Cambria, each of ,423 tons
were sufficient for the fulflment of the
mail contracts and for the demands of the
increasing traffic both in passengers and
cargo. Then the British government
called upon the company to double the
number of its sailings. and four new yes
sels--the America, the Canada, the Niagara
and the Europa-were added early in
lS48. These ranged from 1900 tons to
1900 tons burden, and from 600 to 700
horse power, and they were followed in
1850 by the Asia and the Africa, each 2.
227 tons and Of 750 horse power. These
