Kelley of Pennsylvania in favor of bills per- taining to the administration of the tax laws, tho House went into Committee of the Whole the post office appropriation bill MT. Robinson, of Massachs setts, made strong speech asking for the continua- tion of fast mails and showing the value of them all sections where they have been given thus far.
 MT. Bingham replied briefly saying that if enough could be given to carry the mails at forty miles hour in all sections it would be then proper to tnue it. He then proceeded to speak in support of the section of the bill reducing letter postage to two cents.
 MT. Bingham spoke over an hour in favor of duced postage, arguing that while the proposed change would temporarily reduce the income about eight millions, there ground for the belief the increased volume of correspondence would soon bring the receipts to lhe old figure. He also cited the fact that the receipts of the Postofice depart ment were now considerably more than the expenses.
 NIT. Flower, of New York; seized the occasion of fered by the general debate the bill to make if teen minutes speech in favor of his constitutional amendment giving the President the right to veto any part of bill without affecting any other part thereof.
 Mr. Reagan, of Texas, ex-Postmaster General of the Confeeracy opposed the reduced letter postage, ing the postal card offers cheap postage and the three cent rate letters soYld not be lessed at present.
 MT Cox offered an amendment providing that - paid letters shall be forwarded to their desti ination the postage to be paid on delivery.

GwendOlen Mahaffy Gives George W

nOAal

GwendOlen MahaRy Gives George w
simpson an Answer 10 His Pro-
Chicago Tribune.
Can you not answer me, Gwen
dolen ?"
Up from the meadowsthe soft breezes
of perfect June evening were waiting
the faint perfume of the cowslip, and
as George w. Simpson and Gwendolen
Mahaffy stood near the gate both felt
that a crisis in their lives had arrived
"a moment had come which would
in the misty future that stretched away
before him, like one Of William M.
Evarts' letters, be either bright beacon
of nope and joy to look hack upon with
gladness or a desolate landmark like the
lightning-riven trees that one never
beholds without a feeling of sadness.
Secure III the consciousness of his own
merit-that sterling merit which always
lies in strong arm, clear brain and
large feet-and yet with modest diff
dence concerning his own worth, the
young man stood there in the gloam.
ing, with a half-reluctaat, caton-the-
back-fence expression that lent an
added beauty to his pure young face
and made more pleadingly tender the
earnest, father-is- comig-up-the-front-
steps look with which he regarded the
beautiful girl who stood by his side.
He had asked her to be his wife-to
leave parents, sisters, blothers and all
the endearing influences of happy,
Christian home where two girls are
kept and go out with him into the wide
world as helpmeet ard mpanion.
He had told in fervid sentences of the
great love he bore her-a love that
would ever be the guiding star of his
life, he said, cheering him when the
black clouds of adversely and despair
hung heavily in the horizon of his
hopes and without which. his whole
existence would be one arid, trackless
waste on which lay the whited skele-
tons of Ambition and Hope-gastly
remnants of life whose final wreck
If the happiness which it might have
held had love not flown away with
knocking laugh when pleaded with SO
passionately.
When it came to Ornamental lying,
two rows of huting up the back, George
took first money.
Gwendolen had stood in graceful
poise as he spoke, one ear thrown
slightly forward, and her right foot
covering the door-mat and, now that
he had finished, was looking down in
maiden shyness, while The rosy bushes
that chased each other under her
dazzling complexion would have told,
if anybody could have seen them, of
the emotions that were agitating her
young soul. But no words came from
her lips-those rosy-ripe portals that
opened with such languid grace when
there was pie in the nouse-and George
began to fear that perhaps he had talk
ed her to sleep. Presently, however,
she drew quite close to him, put her
hand in his, and, resting her cheek
upon his shoulder, sac said: eyes,
George, will marry you"
''But when?' asked the young man,
horrible fear that his bluff was to be
called chilling his very blood.
II will marry you repeated Gwen
dolen, "when a bicyclerider is elected
President"
Turning away to hide his emotion,
George mttered in a low, piratical tone:
''Thank heaven, am SAFE"

dow Animals Live in Winter.

Our readers know that there are two
kinds of respiratory apparatus-lungs
which inhale air, abstract oxygen from
it, and give in return chiefly carbonic
acid; and giils, which absorb the oxygen
dissolved in water, and also give off
chiefly carbonic acid, which is more
readily dissolved in water than the
oxygen.
The former apparatus is possessed
by mammals, birds, etc., the latter by
fishes; and as lungs are incapable OF
taking oxygen out of water, and gills
can not take it rom the air, or, in
other words, as lungs can not breathe
water, and gilIs cannot take it from the
air, animals with lungs are drowned in
water, while fish are drowned in the
air.
A small number of amphibious an
finals, however, possess both lungs and
gills, and can therefore breathe either
air or water, and thus live in
both.
1t has been, however, observed that
muskrats and other swimming animals
with lungs, could travel considerable
distance under ice without reaching
any breathing hole on the surface, and
