THE RElCHSTAG.
Interesting Sketch of Germany's Rep.
resentative LawmakinR Boiy.

The political complexion of the law
making body of the German Empire is
as varied as the rainbow. The differ
ent parties are so numerous that at
times it is difficult matter to identify
them. There are 359 members of the
Reichstag and at present they are di-
vided as follows: 5S Conservatives. 81
Imperialists, 100 Centrists, 40 National
Liberals, IA Radical Unionists and
Richterites Radicals, % Freisinnige
Nolkspartei Richterites. IS Social Re-
formers, 10 Poles II Deutsche Volks-
partei, 4S Socialists, 80 Independents,
including Guelphs, 3 Bavarian peas
ant party and two seats vacant.
The hall in which the Reichstag
meets does not give one the impression
of being extraordinarily large. although
looking down from the galleries it
seems very deep room. Its acoustic
properties, however, would only be ex-
cusable in a very large hall. The walls
are much higher, the galleries are fur
ther from the floor. the Presidents

members, and, altogether, this one hall
Is on bigger scale than the CORE
spending halls of Congress. Like so
many public halls in Germany, it is
characterized by an absence of proper
ventilation. The Germans, who are
implacable foes to fresh air. do not ap-
pear to notice this deficiency, which
sometimes forces even the most enthu-
siastic American to depart earlier than
he would otherwise desire.
The President of the Reichstag sits
at table raised above the floor of the
house. in high-backed chair, ON which
the Prussian eagle figures very promi-
nently. Just below the Presidents ta-
BILE is another one, where several Min
listers sit. usually those at the head of
the department which is concerned in
the question being discussed Mt tba
time in the Reichstag. Within this
charmed circle sit the stenographers
whose work goes down those stems to
the outside world. On the level with

When Cain Killed Abel.

There Is a very general miscOnCep
tion of well-known passage in the
Book of Genesis with regard to Gains
place of abode after he had killed his
brother Abel. The expression reads
Gain went out from the presence Of
the Lord and dwelt in the land Of
Nod,' but learned commentators eI
press the opinion that this should read
land, Nod the proposition being uR
necessary. The word Nod is said 10
mean a wanderer, and. if Biblical stu
dents are to be trusted in this matter,
the passage means Cain went out and
dWelt in the land a wanderer or exile
from his people, the presumption belng
that he was obliged to keep away from
his immediate family for fear of theI
vengeance, an additional precautiOH
for his safety being indicated by th'
fact that mark was placed upon him

where the view was clear for nearly a
mile. she shut off the steam and grad
ually the locomotive stopped.
Jessie looked up at the steam gauge.
rhe pointer indicated only 100 pounds
pressure. Keeping close watch on
the track ahead. the intrepid girl left
the throttle and. opening the tire-box
door, replenished the fire. Just as the
last scoopful of coal was thrown in
around the curve into view, and, start
ing the engine back. the girl watched
closely for chance TO catch the now
rapidly moving train.
Down the heavy grade vent engine
and ears, the distance between them
rapidly growing shorter. On little
piece of straight track, little over Il
mile from the dangerous bridge, Jes-
sic decided to take the last desperate
chance, and as the engine reached the
desired point. only few feet ahead of
the flying ore cars, the girl gave the
engine Il light touch of the airbralie
and then. with mighty impact, the
heavy train struck the engine, then the
arbrake lever was sent to the "emer-
gency notch" but so great was the
speed OF the train that even that did
htt little to slacken the speed and that
awful curve at the bridge was-almost
in sight.
Jesse almost lost her nerve as she
thought Of that deadly place. She
knew the big engine would never
round it at its presel-. rate of speed.
Suddenly the escape valve of the en-
ginc opened with mighty roar, tell
ing her the powerful machine was
straining and quivering under the
pr 'SSule of nearly POO pounds of steam,
aud then Il favorite axiom of her fa-
theirs came to mind: III air won't
hold 'em, give 'em steam"
one supreme effort of the strong
young arms and the reverse lever of
the black giant was thrown over, the
sand pipes were opened and with
steady hand Jessie opened the throt-
tlc. throwing Il mighty force against
the heavy train.
Now the speed of the train material

knew that no power on earth could
stop that heavy train in time to avert

them. \ brown hand reached for the
whistle cord, and in n second more the
deep valley was resounding to the
