And Jordan's stream runs low,
Their riches, all mankind may share.
Still have their endless flow

Glowed for remotest ages, when

OF "peace on earth, good will to men"
Its golden glories still abide
In love to all each Christmastide.
Judea's hills are bleak and bare
And Jordan's stream runs low,
But east and west in every air
Their incens, breezes blow,
Outpoured for all with bounteous hand
From heavens full storehouse then,
A golden text for every land
OF "pea"e On cath, good will TO meA, )
At once their hope THAR Joy, their pride.

Judea's hills are bleak and bare
And Jordans st:ea n runs low,
But lands more best and skies more fair,
Waves that as sweetly flow,

The train had started of. A young
man rushed breathlessly into the depot.
"Got left, did youf' said the ticket
seller.
"Of course got left" he responded.
Then some one said he could 20 across
the bridge and catch the train, and en-.
other told him when the next train would
go. and various suggestions were made.
The chap looked at the disappearing
train a few seconds, when some one
asked:
where were you going9"
Then the wicked fellow said: ooh,
wasn't going IN that train. My wife's
mother is on that train, and I wanted to
kiss her before she left"

WOmnu's IIarlsiliDS,

Since the Song of the Shirt" at
least, the hardships of sewing women
have not ceased to be q matter of senti-
ment and of frequent practical efforts
for alienation. But it is doubted it, in
the long run, their condition is better
than it was when Hood sang his song.
In modern days the makers of overalls
have been cited as perhaps the most
pitifully oppressed, but, from what APP
pears from time to time, there doesn't
seem to be a great deal to choose from
among the whole range of work. That
of making cravats, the New York
World says, affords as many sad fea-
lures as any. 1t is something OF an
art, or, at least, matter of skill.
There are many things about the work
that have to be taught. In about a
week. an intelligent woman can learn
all there is to know; after that it is a
question of natu al aptitude and prac-
tice. There are places where this teach
ing is made regular business-schools
they might be called. The learner
pays S.. She is kept from three to
five weeks at tho work-doing useful
Misunderstanding to take good deal
of chaff along with the few grains Of
wheat. At the end of that time, hav-
ing spent the last week really in cravat
making, her tuition is ended. She gets
nothing for her labor, and the teacher
takes all her work and sells it. Girls
coming to learn this business are told
they can make from SO to SIP. In
reality they make about one-third of
those sums. In applying for work at
an establishment the girl has to make
a sample in the presence of the pro
prietor. She has to make it from ma
terial furnished by him, and he keeps
the completed article, whether he
gives her q job CT not. In the course
of year these samples number great
many, and the establishment is just
that much ahead-having "sweated"
the labor for them. The work is gen.
orally taken home. When returned,
if one cravat differs the least little bit
from the others, it has to be rec:ihed,
and no pay is allowed for any work
until it is done. She has to take her
turn in waiting for the examination OF
| her work at her own expense.
One woman tells the World reporter
that she stood in line one day from .
O'Clock in the morning until B o'clock
| in the afternoon before she got to the
| forewoman and had her work examin-

On an average, each inhabitant OF
London consumes each year thirtytwo
times as much fish as each inhabitant
of Berlin, and Paris consumes more
fish than the whole of the German
Empire. Efforts are now being made
to popularize the eating of fish in Ger
many. To bring this about, a German
paper suggests that the fish be made
into sausages.

The most dangerous whirlpool on
the New England coast is that nea,
Deer Island Point, opposite PASSPORT,
an Pas 'amaquoddy Bay. At times,
when the tide backs UP against strong
wind, great roaring is heard; the
whirlpool, fully an acre in extent,
swells up to the height of twenty feet,
like great hill of yeast; then, falling
back, forms deep, black, internal
looking bowl. The fishermen in the
neighborhood shun the whirlpool as
they would the sulphurous pit.

LOUISE MICHEL, who has been re-
Gently liberated from prison, has been
before the Paris authorities once more.
While the "citizeness" was declaiming
the other night four individuals were
admitted into the coulisses of the lee
tire hall and were peremptorily order
ed out bv Citizen" Henon. The men
protested but retired grumbling. At
the end of the conference" or lecture,
there was free fight, in which the
brave Louise took a conspicuous part.
One young "citizeness" was stabbed by
poniard, but put her antagonist to
flight by drawing her revolver and
firing several shots through the ceiling,
delic:ously oblivious of the danger OF
the people who were living overhead.
IMITATION amber has largely taken
the place of real amber in the manu-
facture of pipes. This is the last in
formation from the Konigsburg coast,
where amber has, time out of mind,
been sought by dragging at Schwart-
Zort, and by mining for the last twenty
years at Palmnicken. The company
pay 100000 marks (about $500, 900
to the German Government for the
right of mining for amber. The mines
produce 5000 cwt. year, and large
pieces fetch $50 per kilogram as taken
from the mine. The largest manufac
ture of pipes with mouth pieces of am
Der is at Vienna, and there the shan
article is very much used. In the
mines at Palmnicken about 1000 men
are constantly employed.

sight" with which some Of his family
are related to have been gifted. Gen
Garfeld's father died just before the
son was years old. Yet for long
time Gen. Garfield says he retained q
distinct and lively recollection of his
father. One day about six months
after his fathers death, as others fl,
the time, the boy, as Gen. Garfield
many times related in after life, was al
play alone near the cabin when his
father came up to him smiling, and il
his then well-remembered way and
ordinary dress spoke to him cheerily
called him "My son" or "my child" anG
laid his hand endearingly on his head
The child, in his eager Joy at his
fathers return, ran into the house, call
ng his mother in his piping, loud,
childish tones to come out, saying,
Father has come back" The boy i'm
mediately turned back to where he had
left, as he supposed, his father the
instant before, only to find vacancy and
silence. At not finding him he was ut
terly overcome, and cried with the
abandon of heart-broken child. His
mother has often related the incident

CROPS DRYING UP.
Effect of the Drought on the Fege-
table Farms

tdOlC II
New vegetables are coming in gradu-
ally, but there are a good many that
ought TO be on the market that have not
yet put in an appearance. This is due to
the long continued drought The question
of rain is getting to be a serious one with
the truck farmers, and unless 1t comes
very shortly and in considerable Quanti-
ties their prospect for fall crop Will be
very poor. While the ground is so dry
seed viii not come up, and young plants
that are put out will barely live and do
not grow at all.
leading truck raiser said yesterday
that he has been in the business num-
Der of years, but that he has never known
the time when rain was so badly needed
as 1t is now. "My crops are doing moth
ing at ALL he said. 81 can't get anything
up, and l have to constantly water my
young plants to keep them alive. Even
with this care they are wllted and dried
up, and look as though they would soon
die. If we don't have rain very soon our
crops VIII be a failure sure"
This about expresses the condition of
all the truckers. All are complaining
about the dry weather, and say that their
crops are doing virtually nothing for the
want otrain. This necessarily affects the
market, but in spite of it purchasers for
to-day succeeded in getting their baskets
well tlled yesterday afternoon.
New Deets, the first Of the season, were
in yesterday and sold readily at 10c.
bunch. Artichokes have not been in
many days. They find plenty of purchas-
ers at DC. quart. Caullfower of good
size and fine quality is becoming plenti-
full. 1t sells well at from 10c. TO 25c. a
head. Ounces are beginning to come in
and sell at l5c. quart or 81 30 a crate.
New Irish potatoes are quite popular
and find ready sale at sc. and 10c. a quart.
Carrots, turnlps, lettuce and radisnes
are plentiful at &c. a bunch. Snap
beans sell well at &c. a quart. Besides
these the market is we'll supplied with
Northern vegetables, and buyers had but
little difficulty yesterday in getting up
the material for a good dinner to-day.

The attractions this week are Milton
and Dollie Mobiles in "The Ph9nix''
and "Love and Law" on Tuesday
and Wednesday nights, and Mi
chael Strogoff' on Friday and Saturday
nights. The amusement public does
not need an introduction 10 Milton
MOBILES or to his plays. He is one Of the
actors who always draws we'll because OF
his ability. In his way, somewhat
unique, to be sure, Mr.. Mobiles is one of
the cleverest men upon the stage, and has
turned his talents into a groove in
the direction OF fortune by methods it is
certainly not necessary to condemn.
Bright, intelligent, shrewd, capable of
delicate flights of tancy and matter OF real
literary worth, he has ever Kept an eve
upon the practical side of his profession,
and has written for profit, if not az all
times Tor critical appreciation. "LoYe and
Law" must be ndmitted into the list OF
strong, effective andeXciting plays. "The
Phoenix" has been seen by almost every
theatre-g0er In the country, and ID is as
popular now as when il was hrst pro-
duced. The sale or seats for Mobiles en-
gagement will begin tomorrow.
