BE Rim, Germany, Dec. 22.-In the

which hung on the wall, and say:
"Blessed mann'
SO singular was it that t0ddiing
yOungster of five summers should call
the man of iron blessed" inquired as
to the cause, and was told that for
twenty years Prince Bismarck has sup
piled this hospital, and all others of
this kind in Germany, with kittens for
the children and cats for the mice, free
of cost. In fact, that in the suburbs of
the city the chancellor maintained a
large feline breeding house, which was
one of the prldes Of his life.

L0! and. behold. each cat spoken TO sat
upon its launches, elevated its head,
and, with distended mouth, and quite
correctly as TO time, sang the "Marseil-

When they had finished, Bismarck
looKed at me with his big grave eyes
and remarked:

is a France somewhere"
"What will you do on Christmas" l
yentured to ask.
A map of Europe was painted on the
ceiling of the cattery. TO that small
portion of it known as Bulgaria the
chancellor pointed.
II shall give that to my good friend,
the ear, but he must get Constantine

''And when you have done that?" l
tlmldly continued.

this terrific man and joker with can

a grape from every vineyard on the
Rhine has been pressed, and that as it

PROSPERITY IN TRADE.

In my opinion the jobbing trade OF
st. Paul has increased Is per cent over
that of last year. l know in the case OF
our own firm that for the eleven months
past of 1855 the total amount of our
transactions amounted to within $500
odd dollars as much as it was Tor the
entire twelve months of 1887. Such an
increase of business has probably not
been kept up in all lines, but it has
been a good year, and the st. Paul job
bers have enjoyed an enviable degree
of prosperity. The opening of the
Sault Ste. Marie road has given them
greater advantages in the transporta
ton of their stocks from the East. and
the lake connections have remained as
valuable as in the past. The prospects
for next years trade are very good.

women workers on the Continent.

A sad effect of the increased ornaments
of continental Europe is to be found in
the scarcity of farm hands to prepare and
handle the crops. The consequence is
that the field work is mostly done now by
women, lads and old men. The cultiva-
ton of flowers, vines and small fruit is
healthy occupation for woman. but the
blowing and reaping are too onerous, and
the German woman Of the lower classes
shows, by increased physical defects. the
heavy drain made on her constitution by
this severe labor. Women in Germany
are also employed in other outside work
Mecklenburg-of all the German states
the one least suspected Of such a move,
ment-has recently begun to employ
women as road tenders on the Friedrich.
Franz railway. Since April ] q number OF
women have been enrolled In the service
at 100 marks per annum. Many of these
are the wives Of the men now In service,
who are to relieve their husbands. The
uniform of this female corps consists OF a
badge on the arm in the national colors
(blue, yellow and red) and q dark blue
bandanna around the head. The stipend
is of miserable quantity, amounting to
but $50 year, or less than 81 week
for important services that require uncsas-

A Chinese Religious Sect.

Playing such an important part as they

superstition. There are in China quite a

from eating duck. and regard their duck
devouring neighbors as wanting in rever-
ence. They are tho followers and wor.

whose mother was cured Of scme dread

brought her herbs in its bill every day
until she recovered health. Out Of graft.

son under strict injunctions never to eat
duck. He became the patron of ducks.
