What t!so Lord Coutden't ID,

New IOrK IrIOune.
Here is an old anecdote, very familiar
many years ago, and old enough to be new
to many of this generation, which was re-
gular Thanksgiving night standby. No
gathering about the fire ever separated
without it being tod. 1t ran somthing in
this way: new railway had been opened
through bleak and unsettled section of
country, and had been in operation only a
short time when heavy snow began fall
ing and soon completely blockaded the
road, stopping the train with its single
passenger car far from any place OF nabi-
tatiOn. There were a dozen or more travel
ers, but as the prospect of relief within q
few hours was good they were taking the
unpleasant situation calmly. Among them
was tail, lank, Ley preacher, whose coun-
tenance was chiefly remarkable for prefer
naturally large mouth. Soon after the
train came TO q staudstiii he arose at the
forward end of the car, and with his bland
est professional smile began: Now breth-
rem and sisters, we've got to stay, here shut
up together for al hour Or two SO let us
make the best OF it. l say brethren and
sisters-a;n't that so? WeeFeall Christians,
amt we? OF course we are. Now let rs
have a little experience meeting hero.
Why not? We all love the Lord, don't we?
OF course we 90. Well, les talk about Him a
little. To begin with, we all believe there's
nothing the Lord couldn't DO if he wanted
to-We ali believe that don't we!' At this
point a green-looking countryman, who
had been watching the smiling speaker
with close interest, startled him by saying:
WAL. now, dunno bout that. think I
know one thing the Lord coulden't do"
ooh! do you?" exclaimed the preacher
with great delight do you indeed! Well,
Let us hear it. Speak up loud and let us all
her what it is the Lord coulden't do"
"Naal," said the country:nan with great
deliberation. ''He couldn't ha' made your
mouth amy bigger onless he'd ha' sot your
ears back" That ended the conference

tor thousands or tourists from all parts of
the world who will flock to this, the great
est of the worlds wonderlands. The river
here dashes down from its mountain elti-
tudes at descent of fifteen or twenty feet
to the mile; the water is cold, clear as crys-
tai land we'll stocked with the finest of trout.
Before the town was laid out, it is stated,
there were LOGO people living upon the
site In tents and other temporary structures
awaiting an opportunity to locate. 1t is
estimated that there Will be at least 5000
people upon the ground in the early spring.
The company are planning round houses,
machine and repair shops, station build
ings, etc., on a large and liberal scale.
Three hundred acres have beeu reserved
by the company for its own uses. It is IN
hmated that blast furnaces, rolling mills,
ETC., will be the things of the near future.
The happy combination of agricultural,
grazing and timber lands, iron, coal, lime
stone, gold, silver and placer mines; the
travel to and from the National park; the
shops, furnaces, mills and foundries noe
essary to meet the demands of this colos-
sal enterprise; the charming scenery and
the healthful atmosphere, all conspire to
point to this as one of the future large
cities of the ''new Northwest" The road
is now completed to Livingston, and rega-
lar trains will soon commence running to
that point. Work is being pushed with the
utmost vigor upon the tunnels, and few
months hence we shall witness the compile
ton of the third and the greatest of our
transcontlnental lines. Its effect upon the
fortunes of the Northwest will therefore
soon become matter of common obser-
walton and experience. The question is
whether we shall be ready to meet the de-
mands which will be made upon us for our
just proportion of the business that will
knock at our doors.

Wearing Mourning.

No male mind can appreciate the great
responsibility of beino a widow - laps.
None DuT WIDOWS wear Grape lavishly,
for even when mourning is assumed for
father or mother single bands of Grape
laid on other goods are sufficient, while
some persons are satisfied with unob-
truslve self-trimmings. Entire costumes
OF Grape over silk used to be common
Tor all degrees of bereavement, but the
highest usage is now against it for all
except widows. Grape is the easiest to
rumple, the quickest to show dust. and
altogether the hardest of fabrics to wear
neatly. When clad in it you never feel
quite safe, and cannot hope at any time
to experience the sweet consolation Of
knowing beyond doubt that Won are
really and truly well dressed. AS to ex-
pense, mourning brings sorrow to the
pocket book, because common material
in black betrays itself at a glance. Cot
ton can not by any art now known to the
dyer be made to take on perfect luster-
less black. Therefore, satisfactory
mourning goods must be fine linen or
silk. Bombazlne, cashmere, Henrietta
cloth, the new Irish poplin, Grape cloth,
serge, chudda cloth, serged faced satin.
dull brocade, grenadine, tulle, crepe du

Extraordinary impeachment of Speech.

Mr. Edwin Cowles, editor of the Cleve-
land Leader, in consequence of charges
of low character which were publicly
made against him as the cause of an i'm
pediment in his speech, published state
ment under his own name as to the
nature of his affliction, and to say the
least, it is strangely remarkable. He
says
speech is most extraordinary one, and
l am Informed that there is not similar
case on record. The peculiarly of my
deafness is akin to that of color blindness.
There are certain sounds I never hear.

second nature for me when I discovered
the existence of those sounds, to speak
without making them, and withal not
hearing them when [ do make them, it
can be seen why labor in my articula-
ton. In listening to conversation I am
governed by the sense of the remarks,
and by the motion Of the lips in order to
understand what is said. Inever in my
life heard the music of the birds, and I

may fill this room with canary birds and
all may sing at once, and not a note

wings futter; the upper notes of violin,
piano or other musical instruments /

notes below the seventh octave. I can

policeman and have seen him blow his
whistle which could be heard half mile
away, and yet would not hear the least

HYCienic Value of Mirth.

But, aside from all this, mirth has an
hygienic value that can hardly be over
rated while our social life remains what
the slavery Of vices and dogmas has
made it. Joy has been called the sun
shine of the heart, yet the same sun that
calls forth the flowers of plant is also
needed to expand its leaves and ripen its
fruits and without the stimulus of ex-
hilarating pastimes perfect bodily health
is as impossible as moral and mental
vigor. And, as sure as succession of
uniform crops will exhaust the best soil,
the daily repetition of a monotonous oc-
cupation will wear out the best man.
Body and mind require an occasional
change of employment, or else liberal
supply of fertilizing recreations. and
this requirement is factor whose ornis-
sion often foils the arithmetic OF our po-
htical economist.
To the creatures of the wilderness af-
fiction comes generally in the form of
impending danger-famine or persistent
persecution; and under such circumstan-
ces the notifications of the vital pro-
cess seem to operate against its long con-
tinuance well-wishing nature sees her
purpose defeated, and the vital energy
flags, the sap of life runs to seed. On
the same principle an existance of joy
less drudgery seems to drain the springs
of health, even at an age when they can
draw upon the largest inner resources !;
hope, too often baffied, at last withdraws
her aid the tongue may be attuned to
canting hymns of consolation, but the
heart cannot be deceived, and with its
sinking pulse the strength of life Gibbs
away. Nine-tenths of our city children
are literally starving for lack of recre-
alton not the means of life, but it's OBJ
ject, civilization has defrauded them of :;
they feel want which bread can only
aggravate, for only hunger helps them
to forget the misery Of ennui. Their
pallor is the sallow hue of cellar plant;
they would be healthier if they were
happier. I would undertake to cure q
sickly child with fun and rye-bread
sooner than with tidbits and tedium. -
