discovered his love. 1t is often adversity
that tries our true character, and if borne
with patience and hope, will assist us to
reign more brilliantly IN the future. Like
the rough mantle which for time en-
shrouds the beautiful Princess, it can only
affect the outward appearances, and does
not alter, though it may conceal the
beauty Of the genuine mind within.
We may not all be Princes OR Princesses
in worldly estimation, but as the song
writer said three centuries back: ssMy
mind to me 1. kingdom is" at moment
when the dark clouds OF adversely hung
lowest over him, so may we also rejoice
III the possession of a contented mind,
which is itself kingdom of no mean pre-
tensions 70 assume the airs and
graces, too, of position to which we have
no claim, brings down ridicule on our
heads. 1t is far better, however ambi-
tious we may be for higher places, to carry
ourselves with dignity and grace in the
place Providence has chosen for u.s. being
ready also for any elevation which may
come in our way. Aud while we look
through the rosy glass of romance at the
Royal pair, we may think of the motto
impressed on their mind after all their
trials, that ssit is better to be honest in q
dirty coat, than exist rascal in royal

The marqui. ana the Monkey

A nobleman had favorite monkey, a
large orang-outang, which you know is
the largest species OF monkey except the
gorilla. This monkey was very much at
tached to his master and to the baby,
who was the pet of the whole family.
One day suddenly a fire broke out in
the house, and everybody was running
here and there to put it out, while the
little boy in his nursery was almost for
gotten. and when they thought of him
the staircase was all in flames. What
could be done?
AS they were looking up and wonder
ing. a large hairy hand aud arm opened
the window, and presently the monkey
appeared with the baby in his arms, and
carefully climbed down over the porch
and brought the bab y safely TO his nurse.
Nobody else could have done it, for a
man cannot climb like a monkey and is
not nearly SO strong. You may imagine
how the faithful creature was praised AND
petted after that. This is true story,
and the child who was saved was the
young Marquis Of Kildare-[Children'

Rugs in Bed Rooals.

Rugs in bed rooms, III summer, make
the cleaning easy. In a few hours the
rugs can be gathered up and thrown on
the grass, hung Oh the line, busted and
the rooms swept and mopped quickly; the
sweeping and mopping altogether not
taking more than one-half hour to a room.
Then the full carpets can go down late in
the fall, unless the house is very warm or
there are double floors. There are so many
ways in which time may be saved; to a
busy and overworked woman more leisure
may be one of many things-recreation
health or social life.-(Phil. Call.

HYMN FOR ST. PATRICKs DAY.

All praise to st. Patrick, who brought to oul
@a mountains.
The gift of Gods faith, the sweet light of his
love;
All praise to the Shepherd who showed us the
fountains
That rise in the heart of the Saviour above.
Forhundreds of years, in smiles and in tears,
Our Saint hath been with us, our shield and
our stay
All else may have gone st. Patrick alone,
He hath been to us light when earth 's,lights
were all set.
For the glcries Of faith they can never decay
And the bes. of our elories is bright with us
yet,
. In the faith and the feast of St. Patrick Day.
CHORUS.
Hail! Glorious Apostle! dear Saint OF our Isle!
Onus thy poor children, bestow sweet smile!
And now, thou art high in the mansion above,
OnErin's green valleys look down in thy love.
Thy people, now exiles on many a shore
With the banners and cross they glory to bear;
Shall love and revere thee till time be no
Hail! Glorious Apostle! dear Saint Of our Isle!
And'our hearts shall yet burn, wheresoever we
roam,
For God ST. Patrick and our native home.
There is not a Saint in the bright Courts of
Heaven
More faithful than he to the land OF his
choice;
Oh! well may the ton to whom he has given
In this feast OF their sire and apostle rejoice.
In glory above, true to mis- love,
He keeps the false faith from his children
away;
The dark. false faith, far worse than death,
Oh, he drives it far off from the green sunny
shore,
Like the reptiles which fed from his curse in
dismay;
And Erin, when errors proud triumph is o er,
Will still be found Keeping st. Patricks Day.
Chorus-EIail, etc.
Then what shall we do for thee, Heavcn-sent
Father?
What shall the proof of our loyalty be?
BY ali that is dear to our hearts, we would
rather
Be murtyr'd sweet Saint than bring shame
on thee!
But Oh; he will take the promise we make
So to live. that our lives by Gods help may
display
The light that he bore 10 Erin's shore.
Yes Father of Ireland. no child wilt thou own,
Whose life is not lighted by grace on its way;
For they are true Irish. Oh yes, they alone,
Whose hearts are all true on St. Patrick S Day.

LONDON, Nov. ia war OF customs tariffs
between Switzerland and Germany is immi-
nent. The federal council recently pesed
negotiations with a view to a revision OF the
existing commercial treaty with Germany and
the latter government formally consented to

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. l6.-Secretary
Manning intends to break up the abuses OF
the substitute system in his department, un.
der which heretofore employees who were sick
were permitted to put on substitutes to Ill
their places. The system is said to have been
greatly abused by employees in good health
supplying substitutes who received only a por-
ton Of the salary OF the position, usually one
half OF 1t; the other half going to the regular
employees. An order for clerks who are rep
resented by substitutes to return to their
desks goes into effect tomorrow. There were
to-day about seventy-ive substitutes at work
in the department. The order will probably
not be enforced with a severity that amounts
to cruelty, but the cases will have to be un
doubted merit where exceptions are made.

THE BLIZZARD.
A Flu Gus Snow Storm. Severe as Far
Reachi g,
Binding Winds and Snow Drifts the
Tenor of Every Telegram from
the Northwest.
IN SIOUX CITY.

Inc snow that began failing M0nday eve.
ming, and the high wind that followed early
Tuesday morning, continued with undated
fury all through Tuesday night and all day
Wednesday. The streets are filled with drifts
from two to eight feet deep, and until the
storm ceases 1t Is useless to make an epdeavor
to clear away more than a pathway TO the
business places and residences. Business in
the city was practically suspended. The con
dition OF the streets was such that no traffic
could be carried on, ii being utterly impossi.
bic for teams to get through the drifts.
1t is very seldom that so early in the winter
a storm comes that completely blocks railroad
traffic on all the lines. Such. however, is the
case in the present instance. After daylight
Wednesday not a wheel turned on any Of the
lines centering in Sioux City. The snow fell
so fast and drifted so furiously that 1t was ut.
tcrly impossible to make any Roadway what.
ever, aud everything was abandoned.
Canton, Oak, on Wednesday sends word
that the worst blizzard known for years is
now raging throughout South Dakota. People
were prepared for It, however, and no damage
is reported or loss Of life or stock. All trains
on the Milwaukee system In Dakota are aband-
oned. A passenger train with 100 passengers
on board Is showed In eleven miles west Of
Canton, where 1t has been stuck since Tues
day night.
In st. Paul snow began falling early Tues.
day morning and continued all day, though
the fall was light. After midnight Tuesday
night, however, a genuine blizzard set In, and
Wednesday morning people found the streets
and sidewalks badly blocked so that travel
was next o impossible.
Omaha intimates that the snow storm which
began Tuesday forenoon continued all day
and night and is still In progress Wednesday
afternoon. About a foot OF snow has fallen.
1t has been blowing a blizzard since early
Wednesday morning and every railroad is
more or less blockaded. The only trains that
arrived Wednesday were the Chicago and
Rock Island and Kansas City trains. No
other trains In or out, all being entirely sus-
pended. The storm Is general throughout
Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming.
