l'he Home of the First Woman

I make garden. inlay the paths
with mountain moss, and l border them
with pearls from Ceylon and diamond
from Golconda, writes T. De Witt Tai
mage in the LddieS' Home Journal. Here
and there are fountains tossing in the sun
light and ponds that ripple under the
padding of the swans. l gather lilies
from the Amazon and orange groves from
the tropics and tanarindS from Goyaz
There are woodbine and honeysuckle
climbing over the wall and starred SPAN
iels spraying themselves on the grass.
invite amid these trees the larks and the
brown thrushes and the robins and all
the brightest birds of heaven, and they
stir the air with infinite chirp and carol.
And yet the place is a desert filled with
darkness and death as compared with the
residence of the woman OF nv story.
Never since has such skies looked down
through such leaves into such waters
Never has river wave had such curve and
sheen and bank as adorned the PiSon the
Havilah, the Gihon and the Hiddakel.

no slug to gnaw the root! What atmos-
phere, with no frost to chill and with no
heat to consume! Bright colors tangled
in grass; perfume in air; music in the

Right there, under bower of leaf and
vine and shrub, occurred the first mar
rage. Adam took the hand of this i'm
maculate daughter OF God and pro-
nounced the ceremony when he said:
bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh"
In the midst of that exquisite park for
hidden tree stood. Eve sauntering out
one day alone looks up at the tree and
sees the beautiful fruit. and wonders if it
is sweet, and wonders if it is sour, and
standing there, says: Il think l will lust
put my hand upon the fruit; it will do no
damage to the tree. l will not take the
fruit to eat, but L will just take it down
to examine it," She examined the fruit.
She said: II do not think there can be
any harm in my just breaking the rind
of it." She put the fruit in her teeth: she
tasted she invited Adam also to taste it.
The door of the world opened and the
monster Sin entered. The heavens
gathered blackness; the winds sighed on
the bosom of the hills; beasts that before
were harmless and full of play put forth
claw and sting and tooth and tusk; birds
whetted their beaks for prey; clouds
trooped in the sky; sharp thorns show I'D
through the soft grass; hastings came on
the leaves. All the chords of that great
harmony were snapped.

THE WHISKY TRUST.

recommendations of the House In
vestigating Committee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The Judiciary
Committee of the House adopted the re-
port of the subcommittee investigating
the whisky trust. The report recon-
mends that the duty on imported liquors
be reduced from 81 so to 81 per gallon,
and that the tariff on all goods be re-
duced whenever found that they were be-
ing influenced by trust or combination.
1t also recommended that recufying es-
Establishments be made subject to Gov
ernmental supervision, and all COM
pounded goods be stamped to show the
components. The Republicans in the
committee object to the tariff feature of
the report, and will file minority report
on that point. They deny that the Dis
tilling and Collaborating Company, a
whisky trust, so-called, is trust.

New York buys more lace than any
other city in the world, and there are said
to be scores of New York ladies whose col
lections of lace vary in value from So
900 to $4,000. The Vanderbilts possess
laces which rival the Prussian and Aus
trian crown laces, and are valued at $780,

that cost $4,000, and another was recently
sold to an American lady Tor So. GOO.

tax in operation, and that a majority OF
all sheep in the State were not subject to
such tax. He suggested that the bill be
submitted independently and let its mer-
its be fought out upon the floor of the two
houses. Let them offer the bill as an
amendment, but do not allow them to
endanger the passage of the bill by in
cooperating the principle of the sheep
bill in it." was his argument.
Committeeman Mordecai favored the
adoption OF the principle into the county
government bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Representa-

January 10th, reciting that war claims to
the amount of million dollars are pend
ing before the departments, and it is
charged many doubtful claims are being
allowed, and calling for a report.
Secretary Foster of the Treasury De-

Congress a reply to the resolution, setting
forth the total claims pending in his de-
partment, including the direct tax and
cotton tax, to the amount of STA, S2l 200,
less 100000, the estimated amount al
lowed by Congress. He recommends
that the so-called Bowman Act, which al
lows such claims to be referred to the
Court of Claims for adjustication, be re-
pealed.

WORK IN CONGRESS.

Republicans Twice Defeated on a Mo-
ton TO Go Into Executive Session.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-In the Senate
to-day the naval appropriation bill was
the first business taken up. The first
amendment which elected discussion was
one appropriating 100000 for expenses
Of an international rendezvous and re-
view. After considerable discussion the
appropriation was agreed to, with the
words ''or so much thereof as may be
necessary" added to it. The whole amend
ment was then agreed to, as was also the
next amendment appropriating So, 800 for
army expenses incident to the naval re-
view.
The amendment for the construction of
four light-draft protected gunboats Gn-
stead of one as provided for in the bill)
was agreed to without question.
Squire moved to increase the appro-
priation for dry dock at Puget Sound
from S225,O00 to 100000. Agreed to.
The bill then passed.
Sherman moved to go into executive
session. The yeas and nays were de-
manded on the Democratic side and the
motion was disagreed to-yeas q, nays
pa strict party vote. The result seemed
a surprise to the Republican Senators,
several of whom went to the Clerks desk
TO examine the roll-call, where they
found their side defeated simply because
some Senators had not voted and were
not paired.
The Senate then took up the House
bill regulating the sale of intoxicating
liquors in the District Of Columbia. 1t
passed. Yeas Il, nays 10.
a second motion was then made to 90
into executive session, aud for a second
time the motion was defeated. Yeas 30,
nays 30. The Democratic vote in the
negative was a compact one, and there
was but one detection on the Republican
side, Stewart of Nevada. The two Popu-
lists, however, Kyle and PETER, voted
with the Democrats.
The agricultural bill was taken up and
passed, with a few unimportant amend
ments.
Adjourned.
IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-After agreeing
to the conference report on the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill the
House proceeded to the Alabama con-
tested election case of McDuffie VS.. Tur-
pin, the majority report being in favor of
Turpin, the sitting member.
After debate of some length Turpin, the
sitting member, was declared entitled to
the seat.
On motion of Springer a bill was
passed without the slightest opposition
providing that after July l, 1898, pig tin
be exempt from duty. On motion of Stone
of Pennsylvania, the bill was passed es-
tablishing standard gauge for sheet and
plate iron and steel.
An amendment was adopted, on motion
of Springer, providing that nothing in
the bill be construed to increase the duty
on any imported article.
Unfinished business was then taken
up, on a motion by Breckenridge of
Arkansas to suspend the rules and pass
the bill for the relief of William Brown.
No quorum voting, the House adjourned.
