Boreas redoubled his efforts last night, playing
ahvely tattoo about houses, where blinds, doors
or windows were 1T all loose. This morning,
although he had been blowing very steadily for
thirty-six hours or more, he appeared not a bit
ous OF breath. Clerks and others, when they made
their appearance on the street. had to face an icy
blast. As the day wore on there ives little aba;e-
ment either In the force or iciness OF the wind.
Although some trains arrived last night, and tele-
graph communication was opened To some points,
the city was almost as completely cut off to-day
from the outside world as yesterday. The
work done yesterday in the way OF repairing the
dlsnantled telegraph wires leading to the city and
clearing the wind-strewn railroads was, to large
extent, undone by the high wind last night. In
the city, TOO, In many cases, the repairs made to
wires yesterday will have to he done over again.
20 the capital continued to-day in state Of siege,
Deieaguered by the elements and almost COM
pletely cut on from communication with other
cities.

Studies for Spare Moments.

Itiis plainly impossible to learn every
thing that deserves to be learned. and,
on;the other hand. to give up in despair
and let all study go by the board is, Of
course. both foolish and wicked. The
first thing is to select the three or four
branches most congenial TO ones disposi
tion and capacity, and ser ones self to
master them thoroughly. The next thing
is. as Emerson says. to sslop off decisively
ones miscellaneous activities. Three or
four subjects of study are better than one
alone, because o. devotion to one promotes
narrowness Of view and wrong per
spective Ono o. these subjects will be.
naturally, the main subjecs-the mans

be entirely distinct and different.
