Horace, in speaking of the quar-
rles under the Esquiline Hill says
"they were the common sepulchre
of the miserable plebeians," show
ing that even then they were used
as burial places.
Mummies are sometime envelop-
ed in 1000 yards of bandages. Often
the face is covered with thick gold
leaf, and eyes of colored enamel
are inserted, to give a life-like APP
pearance.
The catacombs of Naples are in
a hill behind the town, and form
an extensive series of excavations.
They are in three tiers or stories,
which communicate with each
other by flights Of steps.
In both Greece and Italy it was
anciently considered religious
duty to bury body cast on shore
by the sea. If proper tools were
not at hand, the corpse was hidden
from view by sand.
Hebrew cemeteries were always
situated without the walls Of the
towns, the, presence of the dead
being supposed to cause pollution.
This popularity is noticeable also
among the ancient Greeks.
According to Thucydides, Peric-
les delivered very eloquent ora
ton at the obsequies Of those who
fell at the commencement Of the
Peloponnesian war.
The ancient Hebrews generally
buried their dead, though occasion
al incineratiOns took place, it is
supposed, in conformity with the
customs of surrounding nations.

THE OFFICIAL LIST.
Makeup OF Fiity-iourth Congress Not
Yet Made Known.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.--An erroneous
impression has gone out that the clerk OF
the House OF Representatives has pre-
pared an official list of the members OF
the Fifty fourth Congress. This ne has not
done and would not be able TO do if SO
disposed, for the reason that the official
returns have so far been received from
only two of the 356, those being the
two Oregon districts. 1t is not
expected that certificates OF elec-
fions will in any large number
be placed with the clerk before the con-
vening OF short session and the probabili-
ties arc that all the certificates will not be
on file for some tire after date. But even
AZ certificates should be filed reporting all
the districts of the entire county
the clerk would not in this instance, prou-
ably, be disposed 90 issue an official roll
call of the next Congress before theexpira-
tion OF the present. An official in
the clerks Office today expressed
the opinion that the completion of this
list would be delayed until the fourth OF
March as a matter OF precaution and he
gave as a reason for this caution the pos
sibility OF error or OF complications.
