THE HOUSE OF LIFE.

The house of life all empty is,
 It's doors and windows lie apart; No sounds stir in it's passages,
 No whisper moves within it's heart Here rests a vase with empty cup, And wonder on the floors wide space A flower that Love had lifted up
 To be the spirit of the place. The singing birds are hushed or flown, All scents and fragrances are fled, And like grim statues made of stone The pillars of the empty bed. Scarce in the breeze the curtains sway, Sadly the lonely fuChsia blooms. Love-Love was buried yesterday, And there remain these empty
 rooms.

THE BUDGET SYSTEM.

The House committee on a budget system has approved of a bill which, it is hoped, will do much toward remedying the present practice of Congress and bureau authorities con- nected with the government, of spend ing money indscrminately, with lit tie thought beyond the possibility of benefit to their own particular insti- tuition. It provides for the auditing of account by committee on budget, for a system of balancing the com parative worth of certain projects against the benefit of others. It is business proposition, purely and sim ply, which has a great deal to recom- mend it.
 The bureau would search the appro- priations and consider all of the re- quests, eliminate Implications, and after a total has been arrived at, will submit the whole busin ess to Congress with an estimate of the receipts for the fiscal year. A single committee, of thirty-five members will be formed from Congress to pass on appropria- tions instead of each committee acting upon it's own, and there will be no more of the practice of tacking on rid ers carrying appropria to cer- tain bills.
 All of this is a step in the right di- rection It is time that something of the sort was done. Of course, it is not certain that the project will meet with favor and be passed by Congress, but there has been so much agitation in favor of a budget control of govern ment finances that it is doubtful whether the legislators may ignore the 1 demand.
