butter, coffee and white bread do

In Europe there are millions upon

these things only ut rare intervals.

The total abstinence party advo-
Gates ought to profit by the following
from one of the pastors in Philadel-
phia:
AT stations, seemingly, centres
where liquor was sold and where
drunkenness was common on Sun
days, / find the saloons tightly closed,
either because of vigilant police su-
pervision or deprivation of license.
On all trains women and children
and family travel in peace to pleasant
places in the several parks, undis-
turbed by the drunken crowds that
formerly crowded places of resort in
the suburbs of Phila. High License
is not "delusion and snare" but
pleasant reality, though heretofore
follower of the Prohibition party,
it seems to me, from personal obser-
vation that the Republican party,as
the originator of high license, deser-
yes and should receive the earnest
support of Prohibitionists, instead
of their opposition.

A Parrot That Prays,

Philadelphia Inquirer.
A family living on Reed street, above
Fourth, are the owners of a pretty poll
parrot that has already conclusively
shown the evidence of early religious
training. The bird is an unusually
bright one, and it salutes the members
of the family every morning with reg
ularity that is as interesting as it is re-
markable.- st. Alphonsus' German
Catholic church. Oh the southwest cor
ner of Fourth and Reed streets, is pro-
vided with set of chimes which, be-
sides ringing on every Sunday and holy
day, ring out the "Angelus' eyery
evening. This is for the purpose of re-
minding piOus Catholics who live within
the sound of the bells of a little
prayer that is to be recited at that time
of the day. Recently one of the little
girls of the house began to call the at
tentiOn of the parrot to the ringing of
the chimes. The bird was a careful
observer and attentively watched the
little one recite the prayer. Suddenly,
one evening, as the bell rang out, the
parrot jumped from his perch to the
bottom of its cage, and assuming a rev.
erent position. bowed its head and
mulnbled the first few words of the
prayer. Since that time. it is claimed,
the parrot is as regular and attentive to
It's daily prayers as any member of the
family.

Talk With Dealers.

Stone and Morton-There is but lit
tie to say about the market, different
from what has already been said many
times over. Trade is comparatively
quiet, generally speaking, and what is
done is generally confined tly to the
older real estate dealers who have been
long in the business. These have their
old customers, who naturally go to
them to get their business trans
acted. The result is that notwith-
standing the market is not what might
be called active, those that have been in
the business for long time are for the
most of the time occupied. The inquiry
still continues largely for business
property, and for that located in what Is
known as the Midway district. We are
selling something every day, and prices
still continue to keep up strong and firm.
Bacon Il Coleman-We are doing fully
as much business as we expected to do
firm, with fair inquiry. Some money
from the East still continues to come in
for Investment, and by the time the
spring opens it will come still more
freely.
Camden & Sweeney-While there Is
no marked activity in the market, trade
is fair and the condition of the market
splendid.
Michaud & Michaud-We are having
inquiries right along steadily. BY spring
everything will be all right.
w. E. Notwithstanding the
talk there is great deal of activity in
the market, while prices remain firm
and strong.

little change IN the market. Prices are

THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
What the Reputed Sight of it
Looks Like at the Present Time.

Looks Like at the Present Time.
TEomiS j. Hurley, formerly resi-
dent "a Baltimore, but now residing at
TruXillo, Honduras,in Central America,
is a vice president and general manager
of the great Aguan Canal and Banking
company, also land commissioner IN that
country, says the Baltimore American.
Honduras is the first country In
Central America south of Guatemala"
he said recently, land comprises about
10000 square miles, with a population
of about 100000 people. The inhabit-
ants are principally of the Indian or
aboriginal type, with about $4,000 who
are pure Castilians and who control the
trade of the country. The government
is republican in form, based on consti-
tuition promulgated in November, 1865.
1.-The language of all the country south
of Texas is Spanish, and to show you
what bright statesmen we have / would
state that here are about 75,000,000 peo-
pie, all told, who speak only Spanish on
our same continent and hemisphere.
Yet we teach German and other lam
guages in our public schools, for which
the taxpayers pay. and do not hardly
teach the geography of our country. The
result is that American corporations are
their business because of their knOWl-
edge of the language. Yet these same
Spaniards are teaching English in their
schools. The United States people are
eating themselves up on close cOmpeti-
ton. Yet here are enormous markets
at their doors and they let the $3.50, 000.000
trade year pass to Europe. The Span
iardS wonder why the Americans are
called smart. They do not think
them so.
'"The average South and Central
American does not fear American dip
lomacy. In other words, it is claimed
sent an insult. In marked con-
Nast to that is Great Britain; they fear
the British consuls. Many Americans
are getting rich in the mines, but the
Great business is fruit. Bananas pay
500 per acre and commence giving re-
turns the first year. Other things in
Ike proportion. Lands are not taxed
and living is cheap. Cocoanuts and
rubber are slow of growth, returning
Eefops on the sixth to the seventh year,
but then the income is enormous, being
about $3.50 per acre for fifty years with
out replanting. 1t was Honduras sugar
Orleans exhibition. Then there are
coffee, chocolate two crops a year,,
oranges, lemons, pineapples, and all the
stuff peculiar to tropical climate.
Honduras is called the Garden of
Eden because the department of Olan-
cho is popularity claimed by tradition to
be that place. l went through it on
horseback, and from the millions of
birds-over 400 varities, it is claimed
and the profusion of flowers, from the
rose to the orchid, all tropical fruits,
come to the conclusion that perhaps
Adam and Eve had farmed it there. TO
me it is the most beautiful spot in the
world"

LOVES PASSION.

Kiss me, sweet love; let me but press
To mine those sweet red lips of thine;
Let me but feel thy fond caress
And hold thee in these arms of mine.
Let lips meet lips, and eyes meet eyes.
Let heart be raptured, warmed by heart;
Kiss me, be this our paradise,
God knows what comes when we two part.
Ny soul is touched by consuming fire,
Flamed into life by your passionate kiss.
Turn away your eyes! let them look higher
Than to tempt a soul with dream like this
Take away your lips! else the made desire
To hold you fore or i'll infinite bliss
To claim YOU fore'er as my dearest prize, ~
Takes hold of me. =

Giving kisses for sweet Loves sake,

Rice Street and vicinity.

The $500" road promises to have a
station built on block 2, Merrill's subdi-
vision of Rice Street Villas, in Febru-
airy, when it is expected trains will be
running into st. Paul. The street cars
are already running as far as Maryland
street, within three blocks of the North
elm Pacific station, and are expected to
run to Como and PhaIen avenue as
soon as Rice street is graded to that
point, Which, 1t is expected, will be done
In the spring. An order has already
passed the council looking to this work.
The preliminary steps have been taken
to widen Como and Phalen avenue to a
width of 100 feet, making one of Mr..
Van Sykes bOulevards between Como
Park and Phalen Park, and passing
through Rice Street Villas at right an
giles with Rice street. The Rice Street
Villa proprietors have about 1000
lots plated on both sides of Rice
street at the North Pacific station.
They are making an effort to locate 100
families on the plat next summer. They
have sold about twenty-five lots to pur-
chaSerS on easy payments who have
given notice that they want lumber fur
nished to build with in the spring, and
as the scheme gives purchasers house
with from five to eight rooms, on pay
HlelltS almost equal 10 rent, IL is eX-
pected that the scheme will succeed in
building up an important settlement at
this point. Rice street is a ten-mile
thOroughfare, draining Rose, Little Can
ada, White Bear and Mounds View
townships. 1t was graded by j. J. Hill
to his farm several years ago at a cost
of S15, 900. Since then the city has mac
adamiZed it as far out as Front street
and recently paved it with cedar blocks
this side of the Manitoba railroad cross
ing. Street cars and railroad extensions
have been added, so that to-day there
are business houses and blocks away
out beyond the cemetery, where the ter
ritOry was wilderness and much of it
a swamp fifteen years ago. The great
changes OF the past will probably be not
greater than the future will show in this
hitherto neglected district, where prop
erty is still lower than anywhere else in
the suburbs by One-half or more.

the sidewalk to speak to gentleman
friend. Suddenly she turned deathly
pale and clutched her friend by the
arms With the hold of a drowning man.
''Save me! save mel" she cried.
Her friend, who is an old Californian,
was so taken aback that for a second
he did not know what to say. In the
meantime the Eastern lady, still cling
ing to him, but somewhat treasured at
his GOODNESS Historically cried:
'sIt's an earthquake, isn't it?"
The Californian then explained that
the oscillations were to be accounted
for by the fact that they were just then
standing on weighing machine, which
formed part of the sidewalk. The lady
blushingly asked him not to tell a soul
about it. 1t was too good joke to be
hidden under bushel.

says by his actions that he is unstable;
that he often loses his temper; that lie
