Article 26 of the Constitution pro.
vides that members shall be allowed,
in addition to $4 per day, their actual
travelling expenses
GOING TO AND COMING FROM
the seat of government and it shall not
exceed $50 each way.
Messrs. Pipes and LaWton received
no pay. Mr.. Pipes, according 10. the
terms Of the lease Of a small road in
which he is interested, owned by him
and which is leased to the Mississippi
Valley Railroad, is entitled to an an
mail pass over the Mississippi Valley
route, saping him the expense of COM
ing to and returning from the capital.
Mr.. Lawton refused to make any
| charge for travelling expenses, and yet
he does not hold free pass.
IL is claimed by personssin q position
to know that in many cases the
amounts charged are double, and in
many instances triple of what they
could possibly be-.
When the bill making the appropria-
ton to defray the expenses of the Gen
eral Assembly was up for consideration
Mr.. Dreyfous (Orleans) offered an
amendment providing that each mem
| Der make affidavit as to actual travel
ing expense incurred, which amend
ment was laughed at and voted down.
He claims that had he not attempted
to offer this amendment that the char
ges would have been even greater than
they are.
Messrs. Franklin and Warren, In adj
dition to their per diem of $40 and
travelling expenses, 800 each, received
$50 each as ministers, having prayed
twice during the session. These mem
bers each received $3.50 for the session.
Before final adjournment of the
House last night, a duplicate copy OF
the above list was handed up by Mr..
Cade, chairman of the committee on
contingent expenses, and at his request
was ordered printed in the journal.
Tic will be observed that in none of
the instances mentioned above has any
allowance been made for free railroad
passes. The State
HAS BEEN CHARGED
in all eases except in the cases of Messrs
Pipes and Lawton, with full railway
fare. Either the railroads have been
extremely parsimonious as to passes,
Gil the members holding free passes. IL
auch there were, BY some strange lapse
Of memory, forget to give the State the
benefit of those passes.

Here is somethingaffrom the Detroit
Tribune that will be of interest to
housekeepers "One night some one
happened to leave his cake box-one of
those japanned tin Misunderstanding
open. Next morning about a pint of
reaches were found in the box. They
had been able to climb the outer sur.
face and get inside, but the interior
surface was too smooth for them to
scale, and they were corraled. Well,
that put an idea in my head. I went
to work next evening and steamed
some cake so that the insects could
smell it a long distance, and put it in a
box. Next morning / had about one
half peck of the vermin. | kept
the thing going for q week and captur-
ed every roach in the house."

Beauties Of Russia's Capital.

Whatever color there is in st. Peters
burg has the advantage of a clear at
nosphere. Nothing but wood is burned
in the stoves, and the air is as free
from smoke as that of Paris; the houses
are clean there is none of the CRIME
and dirt of London. The streets, also,
Notwithstanding the execrable pave
ment, are wonderfully well swept.
Every householder is bound to keep
the street clean before his own front,
and does il to a marvel. From a sani.
ary point Of view st. Petersburg is
anything but an ideal city. But for
street sweeping it takes the prize. The
colors of the houses differ greatly.
Some are white; others, including
many Of the palaces, a curious shade
of yellow; very few are red; the ma
jority are of the ordinary stucco gray.
1t is in the roof hal the color comes
in. In place of the red pantiles Of
Holland and the slate of London, st.
Petersburg covers its roofs with iron,
which it paints red, green, chocolate,
as the case may be. The effect is good.
In winter all this diversity of color is
lost beneath the universal pail OF
snow. From the roofs the rain is con

''Now, Flossie Myrtle" said Daisy,
very sternly, II have listened to quite
enough. / have tried, as you know,
TO be a good mother TO you always,
but if you will read fairy stories when
l am not watching, and get yourself
into a state of mind over things that
can't possibly be anything but dreams.

The idea of dolls having theatres, and
writing desks, and nursing bottles,
and silk s~tockingsl Why, my mamma
saws that when she was a little girl a
dollie was considered very well off in
deed if she had two dresses, and plain
cotton stockings were good enough
for the best"
Flossie began to cry as naturally as
if she had been made that way, and an
swered: Il don't suppose you know
all about dolls things. because you
haven't wei been in the city, and you
never saw them, but l haven't been
reading fairy stories. You never even
had a governess to teach me TO read.
They are all real things, and | did get
q letter from Alice, and she did tell
me all about what she had"
Now, Flossie Myrtle" said Daisy,
you will break my heart if you keep
on telling me stories like this, If you
never learned to read, how could you
know what Alice wrote in a letter. l
shall certainly punish you severely If
you do not tell me the truth imme-
diately."
Flossie cried harder than ever, and
Just then Daisy's nurse came into the
room with a night lamp. =,
What is the matter, Miss DaisyT"
she said, as if badly frightened. You
mustn't be walking around the room
in your night clothes. You will catch
q terrible cold. Why, bless my soul!
the child is walking in her sleep!
Oh, Miss Daisy. you mustn't-you
mustn't
Don't be foolish, nurse, said Daisy,
with great dignity. ''Elossie Myrtle
was not feeling well, and was walk
ing her up and down a little bit"
So they all wen. TO sleep again, but
in the morning, when Daisy wanted
FlosSie to tell her more about the
derful things she had told the night
before, FlosSie would not say a word.
SO Daisy asked Aunt Fanny about il,
for Aunt Fanny lived in the city and
knew all about the wonderful stores
where they keep nothing but children's
things, and the great toy stores and
fancy goods stores, where they keep
everything in the world. And Aunt
Fanny said that it was all true that
Flossie had told her.
Dolls nowadays" said Aunt Fanny,
''have almost everything that grown
ups have, and the things are made as
carefully and finished us well as if
they were made for real people to use.
They are TO be found in the great toy
stores and fancy stores, and there is
no doubt at all that if you wait till the
holidays Flossie will have a great
many Of them, because you are get
ting old enough to appreciate them,'
And when Daisy told Flossie this
she was positive that Flossie smiled
and lost the discontinued look she had
had for some days. But Flossie never
talked any more.-David A. Curtis.

AN OLD MAN GONE.

Old Captain jim Kealo, alias Cap
tain Semms, died Saturday morn
ing of old age. Old Jim was 80
years or more at the time of his
death. For so years lie was
schooner captain for Mr.. j. /. Dow
sett, and while in charge of vessels
no accident ever happened. Once
while his mate was bringing in the
schooner, and old Jim was snoring
in the cabin, the schooner tried a
short cut and jump over Diamond
head.
For the past years the venera-
BILE captain has been on a pension,
and every day he would hobble
over to Mr.. Nolte's for his tea or
coffee. Never could he be pur-
suaded to take white sugar in his
drink and would have none other than
Hawaiian brown sugar. The cap
tain could not read or write, but
had an excellent memory. When
loading a schooner, he always fol-
lowed the rule of the first, last, and
the last, first. He could tell some
interesting stories of early days and
was very fond of talking about reYp'
lutionary times when he was {
leader among the native schooner
captains.

Mr.. II. Beneke, of ST. Louis, U.

of that time in Honolulu or On this

famous volcano of Kilauea among
the sights seen. Mr.. Beneke is
booked to start for home by the
steamship Australia tomorrow. Al
though this gentleman has been but
few weeks in the country, he
has, by his genial disposition and
affable manner, created host of
friends, who are sorry for his de-
parture, and will miss him from
their social circle. 1t may be
added, that Mr.. Beneke represents
the Annheuser Busch Brewing Asso-
