BRIEF SESSION OF HOUSE.

Washington, December 21.-when the
House met today there were less than one
hundred members on the floor. A ma
jority OF the members already had de-
parted for their homes to spend the holi-
day reosss. The chaplain in his invoca-
tion referred tenderly to the death Of
Mrs. Frye, wife OF Senator Frye, and Of
Representative Wise Of VIRGINIA.
After the approval of the journal some
routine business was transacted by unan-
imous consent.
Mr.. Jones OF Virginia then announced
the death of Representative Wise and
offered the customary rssol 1tions which
were adopted. The Speaker appointed a
committee 10 Sc Fenteen to attend the
funeral.
Then at ~ 30, as further mark OF re-
spect to the memory of the deceased, the
House adjourned until January 3, 1901.

Basic, Switzerland, December IL,
One of the most agreeable routes to
Italy is that through the Austrian Tyrol
and the Bremen Pass, since this is free
from the nervous tension experienced
among the snow-orowned heights of the
st, Gotthard. Life is almost wholly
primeval In this mountain region, not
only In its environment OF Tyrolean
ohalsts and simpls country folk engaged
In the ever-continued struggle for exis-
tenos, but all this outside influences par.
take of the same inartihciaI simplicity.
OF the two express trains on this route
one stops at almost every station and the
conductors on them fesl obliged to so-
count for every passenger. remember
one elderly gentleman who taxed the
patience OF the travellers by lingering at
one of the stations over his soup and
extra glass of beer until everyone won
dsred what explosion or terrible accident
had happened along the line. But the
conductor finally appeared, mumhllng
something about the atfalr bsing "ool-
IossaI,'' but at the same time carrying
the old gentleman valiss and escorting
him to his compartments, Immediately
after signaling the train to start, At
Botzen, a railroad-centre, the same con-
duotor was around hunting up lady
who had surreptitiousiy alighted at
Franzsnsfeste, when he thought she was
booked for the TyIolean resort OF Brixen.
This Brsnner Pass was the old route OF
the German emperors who. often went
over 1t with large armies, on the way to
Rome, to be crowned; and the clefts Of
the mountains were the former favorite
haunts of the hunted down, in the days
when revolts and insuurrections were the
rule, and well-ordered governments were
only dreams In the brain OF the fanatic.

* of a very lucky
~ Young Man who
won an income for
life for one mo-
ment's thought !

Some months ago, 1t will be remem-
bersd, we advertised widely for name
for the magazine we were about to pub
lIsh. IL was a little thing TO give, but
much to receive A moments thought,
perhaps, would do It, vet the result was
OF such Importance to us that we prepared
to award as q prize nothing more nor less
than five dollars q week for life, or an
annuity OF two hundred and fifty dollars.
This offer, when first BROUGHT to the
public.s attention through the columns
of all leading napers in the country, was
received with considerable incredullty.
The man at your right sneered, while
the one to your Left smiled Neither said,
"It's straight enough" both said, bet

thsy did net know our way of doing
things. A trlfle unusual par
haps, but SUCCESS today means just that,
with the additional trait Of taking the
situation boldly by the throat.
Those, however, who entered the oon-
test were courteous enough to give US the
benefit OF their doubt. one of them giving

difference that came about Saturday,
May s, when our representative called on
this man, MIR. Arthur W. Madden, at his
home in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, and
presented MIN with certified check for
the above amount.
The ingenuity Of man is conc sdedly
well nigh Infinite, but probably never
more SO than when he deliberately tries
to put something into name. There
were names sent us that would have

still greater liberties with the English

some of the combinations into which
they were worked being fearrully and
