The Audit Act was again taken up
for consideration. The section on
advertising was again the bone Of con-
tention. Rep. Robertson said the
Government system of advertising was
all wrong. There should be one Off
cial organ for the publication Of all
Government matters. AS it was now,
advertisements were put, sometimes in
one paper and sometimes in another.
People were in a constant muddle as
to where to find what they wanted.
BY giving all advertisements to one
paper, the Government would spend
about half of what they do now and
besides that, people would know just
where to look.
After much discussion, the section
was passed with an amendment con-
ferring the power of advertising on
the Auditor-GeneraI who will choose
what paper or papers he deems best.
The reading of the bill was almost
completed when the motion to adjourn
was made and carried, this at 11:5C

gerous that he did not trust any
of the servants to take her
food, but attended her constantly him
self. And singularly enough, with him
she was always gentle and pliable She
never yielded to one of her paroxysms
in his presence. II was pitiful to see
how her wan face would light up at
his coming, and her great eyes lose
their restless brilliancy and grow soft
and almost tender. She talked to him
confidingly. as little child might; al
ways of things long past. incidents con-
nected with her childhood. She told
him plaintive stories Of the brooks she
had played beside, the birds nests she
had found and the nice books she had
read. She used TO beg for flowers, and
he brought them to her in lavish pro-
fusion, and she would twine the red
roses and the white lilies in her black
hair, and fasten knots Of them upon her
bosom. All memory Of the dark two
years Just past seemed to have fed from
her; she never alluded to any past save
that which crowned the years of her
childhood But IL stranger ventured
into her presence, then all was changed
II was frightful TO see her Her eyes
became like livid Goals, her fair face
purpled. her pale lips were drawn away
from the sharp. white teeth, and she
took on all the form Of an infurate

Before the great mirror, dressed In
the bridal robe of the dead Marina, her

faded orange flowers, stood lmogene.
Her dress left her neck and arms bare,
and they literally blazed with jewels;
the diamonds that for years had been
the pride of the Trenholmes. Her
cheeks were crimson with strange ex-
element, her eyes blazed like stars.
All around her she had piled everything
OF combustible nature that the room
contained, and she was surrounded by
smoke and flame. Even as he looked,
her light dress was mass of fire. He
sprang forward, but she waved him
back.

my bridal day, See. the flames are my

He rushed toward her, tearing away
the blazing obstacles that interviewed
between them, but even as he laid his
hand upon her, she fell forward into
the surging sea OF fire, and then the
smoke and flame closed over every
thing
Ralph's loud cry of horror brought
the servants to the spot, and the flames
were stayed: but when they lifted I'M
ogene up, she was past all aid. In this
world she would never suffer more.
They buried her in the old graveyard
by the sea, and with her they buried
her great crime. 1t was never after

The Postal stan and the Cats.

The cats are invariably treated with
great kindness by the postal staff.
Kittens are born in all sorts Of odd cor
ners, even occasionally under a desk
or table in the sorting Office. One cat
has successfully reared during the
present year family of six in the regis
tered letter department, but this, OF
course, is exceptional. They are gen.
orally born in the kitchens, as there
are plenty of old wornout coats about
which makes a comfortable bed. AS
soon as they are old enough some one
requiring cat takes one home to the
domestic hearth. There is often keen
struggle for their possession and a
man will feed both mother and kitten
on milk and watch them with anxious
eye, only to find in the end that he is a

THE JOUR DIES Morris IN PARIS.
Ii Costs $4,000 "A Month for Flowers
for Young Macksy's Tomb.
(The end.)


Winter has come upon Paris in its
most unpleasant form-that Of icy driz-
zle. 1t interfered on Sunday with pill
grimages to the cemeteries, says a cor
respondent Of the London Daily News
Tens of thousands wended their way
there in the morning before the rain
began to fall. The graves were less
richly decorated with flowers than
usual. This season chrysanthemums
are more than twice the price they
interfered with the growth of these
flowers. The intramural cemeteries
are the most adorned. A perpetual
grave of two square yards now costs
6 AZ, and one of ten yards ESQ. Rich
people only can lie there, and nobody
is sure that they will not be disturbed.
The city has a right to run a new thor
oughfare across cemetery without
giving compensation, but it must bear
the expense of transporting the re-
mains and rebuilding the tombs. The
tomb of Marie Bashkirtsheff at Passy
was one OF the sights OF the day, orna-
mented with white chrysanthemums
that looked soft as falling snowfiakes.
M. Theirs tomb, which is also that of
Nine. Theirs and her mother, was re-
markable for its wealth Of fresh roses.
Nine Dosne devotes her time and
much of her fortune to a rose garden
and greenhouses TO keep this grave per-
petually covered with flowers, but she
is most lavish on the Jour des Morris.
The coffin Of the late Mr.. J. w. Mack
ay, now lying in a vault Of st. Angus
tins church, was not to be seen. II
will be transported to Greenwood GENE
terry, United States, when Mrs. Mackay
has recovered strength enough to at
tend the second funeral. Meanwhile a
florist contracts to keep the vault deco
rated with flowers at the cost of G. 900
month. The family, on their side,
constantly send choice flowers.
