ing the other, forgot herself for awhile.
Mary opened her arms dumbly and
Rose fell on her knees by her side; both
wept bitterly.
Robert had added some last touches
to the pretty room he had prepared with
such loving industry for the broken
hearted girl below. A bunch OF roses
glowed on the dressing table. He had
nailed red border round his favorite
text, taken, as Rose had observed to
him, from funeral psalm, Lord, Thou
hast been our dwelling place" The
useless wedding ring lay glittering in a
sunbeam on the table, the wedding
clothes still lay folded at the foot of the
bed, on which Robert lay dead on his
marriage morning: while the song Of
the mighty sea, his first love, surged in
hushed triumph round his pillow, an
epithalamium, lullaby and dirge in
one.

The International Postal Congress.

The International Postal Congress,
now in session at Washington. has in
the past twenty-three years accom-
plished much in demonstrating the adj
vantages of international methods for
conducting certain kinds of business.
1t will be remembered that the legiti-
mate demands upon our postal facili-
ties were. more than anything else the
means of bringing about practical civil
service reform. The more that bust
ness relied upon the mails, the greater
the demand for business management,
and whenever it appeared that man
agement in the interests of politics was
not in the interests of business there
was a protest that demanded and re-
attention. Largely for the same
reason the need of international facili-
ties superior to those then in existence
was needed. Today a United States
stamp will take a letter to Hong Kong.
The representatives of all civilized
countries have been in attendance
All civilized countries. excepting China,
Corea, and the Orange Free State. have
sent delegates to this congress, the
of which are held with much
formality. This union had its origin in
a suggestion made by Postmaster Gen
far wit n
other nations to consider the simplifi-
cation and uniformity Of postal ar
rangemonts. The success that has at
tended it leaves little doubt but that
before many years an international!
medium of exchange will be had in re-
Spouse to demands similar to those
which resulted In the International Pos
tai Union.
