STRENGTH FOR TO-DAY.

Strength for to- day is all that we need.
AZ there never win be q Tomorrow.
For tomorrow will prove but another dav.
With its measures Of joy and sorrow.
Strength for to-day-what precious hoon
For the earnest souls who labor.
For the willing hands that minister
To the needy friend or neiehbors
Strength for to-day--thst the weary hearts
In the battle Of life may quail not:
And the eyes bedimmed with bitter tears.
In their search for light may fail not.
strength for to-day, On the downhill track,
For the travellers near the valley,
Inat up lar up on the other side,
Aro long they may safely rally.
strength for to-day-that our precious youth
May happily shun temptation,
And build from ihe rise to the set OF the sun
On strong and sure founnatlop.
Strength for TO day-in house ana nome
To practice forbe france sweetiy-
To scatter Kind words and loving deeds,
Still trusting in God completely.

Rufus ChOate.s Fence.

suppose that the story about Rufus
Choate's handwriting has been told often.
1t seems that Mr.. Choatc wanted new
fence around the home lot. So he called
in his carpenter and had talk with him
about the work, and the next time he
went to Boston he got his architect to
make rough sketch of the work, show
ing his idea OF how he desired the fence
to be built. On the day appointed for
the work 10 begin Mr.. Choate was sum-
mOned away. just rs he was about to
start the carpenter appeared and Mr..
Chuate pulled the plan out of his vest
pocket. hurriedly deliver ed it, and drove
Off to catch the train.
Returning after an absence of two
weeks. on approaching his house he was
Tiled with amazement and led to doubt
where he lived; his home lot was sur
rounded by zig-zag fence of most extra
carpenter pounding Justify away, he felt
reassured as to the identity of the place,
but most puzzled by the marvellous
fence.
"Hellor' he shouted, "what are you
'doing?" ts 4 AG
':DOin'!" said the carpenter, smashing
d tchpcHiiy Hdu Will ohC Uio", We lO
dom some pooty tall work. We've
slung the fence together in little bit less
time than any similar slingin' was ever
done i'm the commonwealth OF Massachu-
sets! We're two days ahead OF contract
time now"
But for heavens sake what sort of a
fence is that?'' Tte.-s
Don't know. Thought when you gil
me the plan it was the damndest fence
ever heard ofsbutsI supposed you knew
what you wanted"
''Plan ~ said RUFUS. ''plan? Let De
see the plan," and when the carpenter
handed it over the fence, Mr.. ChOate re-
allied that in his haste he had felt in the
wrong pocket and handed him not the
plan, but note in hissOwn handwlit-
ing.

Sour Milk JeWelry.

A new industry has been started In
Massachusetts. 1t isIno less than themanu-
facture of jewelry out of sour milk. inns
seems strange anomaly, but it is fact:
The milk comes in the shape of curd
from the butter and cheese making
counties i'm New York, and looks upon
;ts arrival n great deal like popped corn,
Int before it leaves the shop it undergoes
wonderful change, and receives the

making ir up is carefully guarded, but it
- aarta;n that it has to be heated very
hot during which coloring matter is in
reduced followed by very heavy pres,
sure u Some of it is colored black and
called jet. while some appears as cellulold :
II makes very handsome jewelry, and is
made into all kinds and styles known to
the trade.

Evangeline enriched with the spoils of a
hundred operas and powdered with puns as old
as the trilobites, has captured the public fancy
as no play can. Its life and merriment, rapid
ity of action and richness of color, lively
choruses and poor jokes have won for it favor
beyond its merit With large audience a
joke has to be very poor to be relished, and
the jests of Evangeline seem to satisfy a popu-
lar want.
Last night the extravaganza drew large
and enthusiastic house. Its specialties the
heifer dance, the whale fishing and others, are
as amusing as ever. but the cast has not been
beoefted by the changes. With the withdraw
al of the original Gabriel much of the grace
went out of the piece. The new "Evangeine"
too is certainly no improvement on the heroine
of the previous visit. and much inferior to the
maid of Arcade as personated when the extra
vaganza was first given. But Gle Blanc is
better done than before, and that uneasy heart
of his is still source of much amusement to
an audience. Harry Josephs as Catherine"
is as absurdly funny as ever. The brightest
thing in the play now, as before, is Hunters
Lone Fisherman" who fortunately is mute
and can perDetrate no puns. The performance
will be repeated this and tomorrow evenings
and at the matinee tomorrow. The limitations
of actors by Mr.. Goodwin were not given as
announced by the management They must

FROM THE BLACK HILLS John e. Craig,
Belfaster, who has been prospecting for some
time past, at the Black Hills. writes home
most doleful accounts of matters and things in
that locality. He says there are but few claims
that pay the expense of wor king, and these, at
the best, pay only moderate wages. The chief
ambition of those who have been there the
longest. is to obtain money enough to get
further east. The society is very low, being
made up from the dregs of the large Cities and
consequently, immortality reigns supreme.
There is constant fear that the Indians may
become troublesome, though of late. no out
breaks have occurred from that cause Small

preferable to the former. Mr.. Craig says that
the only men who make money are the
