The situation Growing Desperate.

NEW ORLEANS, April - A TimeS-Dem-
ocrdt Morgan City special says that the sit
uation there is fast becoming desperate.
The water continues to rise steadily, and
the current through the streets Of Morgan
City is at leastfi five miles an hour. In many
places it is difficult TO manage the boats.
Large schooners are now anchored on Sec
ond street. The water from the swamps is
coming in through the rear Of the city in a
perfect torrent. Everybody that can get
away is doing so. The Merier took over
one hundred to-day. She went to Plaque
mine to connect with the New Orleans Pa
cific road.

A Catholic Church Burned.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, April AT 1915 this
morning an alarm sounded for fire. which
was discovered in the roof above the altar
OF st. Xavier's Roman Catholic church, on
Sycamore street. Everything OF CON-
bustibe nature about the building was
burned, and only the walls and tower re-
main standing this morning. and they are
badly shattered. The church belonged to
the Society OF Jesuits. The building and
contents cost nearly S150.OO0; insurance
about $4,000. How the fire started is a
matter OF conjecture.

Labor Excitement i'm Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, April 7.-Considerable ex-
element was created here this morning by
the fact that the workmen in factories
which do not employ union men received
anonymous communications which bore a
rough engraving OF "skull and cross
bones" and over the representation the
word "scab." The communications are
considered as threats Of bodily harm to
non-union men.

ARCTIC EXPLORATION.
Arctic exploration is not a ne

Arctic exploration is not a new
thing. 1t began with Sebastian
Cabot, who discovered Newfound-
land and landed at Labrador. Henry
Hudson found and gave his name to
the great bay which is one of the
most striking features of British
America. There mutinous crew
put him in an open boat with a few
faithful adherents and left him to his
fate. Vitus Behring, the Danish ex-
plorer, who found that Kamschatka
did not connect with Japan, succeed
ed, one hundred and forty years ago,
in pushing his ship through the straits
that bear his name but his vessel
was wrecked, and he died on desc
late island. Captain Cook reached
these straits thirty-three years after
ward; but was forced back by the
ice, to die on the Sandwich Islands.
Ross and Perry made few discover
les but at terrible expense of suf-
fering and risk of life. The story of
Sir John Franklin is familiar house
hold tale-how he set out in the
Eerebus and the Terror with 1873
picked men, and all persisted; and.
eight expeditions were sent out to
find and relieve him at great cost but
no returns. The Grinnell expedition
sent out by Henry Grinnel and
George Peobody, in 1858, under the
heroic Kane, was more than its pre-
decessors, and brought back the ac-
counts of the Open Polar Sea which
have stimulated the ambition and
curiosity of hundreds of navigators
since. But though Kane lived to re-
turn, he died of the effects of the eX-
posure. Sir Hugh Willoughby and
his crew starved to death, and Bar
entz, the Dutch explorer, perished
in the same way. These are only a
small fraction of the human sacri-
fees to the Arctic idol whose icy al
tars are covered with the debris of
wrecked ships and the bleached bones
of brave and devoted men sent up
into the jaws of destruction to dis
cover nothing. The Arctic Ocean
has nothing of interest to disclose to
science, nothing of value to contrib
ute to mankind. One county in
England or New York is of more in
terest to the intelligence of the race
and of more worth to the future of
mankind than the whole Arctic zone.
Another expedition into its icy desc
lation, along the track marked by the
hulks of lost ships and the skulls of
sacrificed explorers, would be a mere
exhibition Of foolhardiness and ought
to be universally deprecated .-Neot
York Star.

MARY is poorly" said the voice.
ooh, Mrs. Cullen, what a pity it is
that flirting young minister came
down to the Vale of Cruix. 1 don't
know what Mrs. Stevenson was about
to let him do as be did We all
thought he was courting Mary. She
did, poor child. She just loved him
dearly. And the day before he went
away he told her he was engaged to
a girl in Glasgow. I'm afraid he has
broken her heart. She told me all
about it. 'Oh, Aunt Russell, said
she, i know l ought to be ashamed,
but can't help it. He seemed to
like me so. / hope / shall die of

let her see it, meaning to marry me.

attempt and let me take her to my
heart. To-day l am pastor of the

THE OTHER WORLD.

1t lies around us like cloud
world we do not see;
Yet the sweet closing of an eye
May bring us there to be.
It's gentle breezes fan our cheek,
Amid our worldly cares;
It's gentle voices whisper love,
And mingle with our prayers.
Sweet hearts around rs throb and beat,
Sweet helping hands are stirred,
And palpitates the veil between
With breathings almost heard.
The silence awful, sweet and calm
They have no power to break;
For mortal words are not for them
To utter or partake.
So thin. so soft, so sweet they glide,
So near to press they seem
They seem to lull us to our rest,
And melt into our dream.
And in the hush of rest they bring,
'Tis easy now to see
How lovely and how sweet pass
The hour of death may be
To close the eye and close the ear,
Wrapped in trance of bliss,
And. gently drawn in loving arms,
To swoon from that-to this.
Scarce knowing If we wake or sleep,
Scarce knowing where we are,
To feel all evil sink away,
All sorrow and all care.
Sweet souls around us I! watch US still,
Press nearer to our side.
Into our Thoughts, into our prayers,
With gentle helpings glide.
Let death between us be as naught-
A dried and vanished stream;
Your joy be the reality.
Our suffering life the dream.
Harriet Beecher St0av
