UNDER THE SNOW.

Under the snow the flowers are sleeping, Wrapped snugly up in ther coyerlet warm, Vainly above them the wild winds are sweep
 ing,
 Vain the rude threats of the tempest and
 storm;
 Dropped are their dresses of emerald bright
 ness,
 Doffed their bright mantles, the summer
 times bring, Sweetly they rest meath the sheltering white
 ness, ks Waiting the call of the zephyrs of spring Under the snow the brooklets are flowing, Murmuring ever in soft mufaed tones, Steadily on to the great ocean going, lce-bound and jostled Der rootlets and Gone have the flowers which blhshed at their
 coming,
 Gone the glad birds that delighted the way, Blindly they grope through their dark chan
 nels, humming
 Plaintive appeals for the sunlight of day. Under the snow, and under the flowers, Down where the tireless rivuIets glide, Slumber in silence those loved ones of ours, Waiting for us to lie down by their side; Closed are the eyes which once thrilled us
 with pleasure, Mute the pale lips we have fervently pressed, Folded the hands-they have finished their
 labor,
 Journeyings are ended, the weary feet rest. Under the snow-O wonderful slumber! Parents and children in peaceful repose, Brothers and sisters, and friends without
 number
 Waiting some signal, which God only knows. Wonderful shelter the sleepers are sharing, Fashioned far up on the looms of the sky, White as the raiment the angels are wearing, Pure as the home of the blessed on high Monson, February 14. N.

Crab Q instantly released the chain it had held, and in a moment the great cylinder hung almost perpendicularly from one chain. But only for mo- ment. The nippers of Crab R still firmly held the chain, and the tremendous lev craze exerted by the falling of one end of the cylinder wrenched it from the rigidly held end of its chain; and in flash, the enormous stern guard of the Llangeron sunk, end foremost, to the bottom of the channel
 In ten minutes afterward the Llanga- ron, rudderless, and with the blades of her propellers shivered and crushed, was slowly turning her starboard to the wind and the sea and beginning to roll like a log of 5000 tons. .....
 Besides the Llangaron three ironclads were now drifting broadside to the sea. But there was no time to succor disabled vessels, for the rest of the fleet was com ing on and there was great work for the crabs.
 Against these enemies, swift of motion and sudden in action, the torpedo boats found 1t almost impossible to operate, for the British ships and the crabs were so rapidly nearing each other that torpedo sent out against an enemy was more than likely to run against the hull of a friend. Each crab sped at the top of its speed for ship, not only to attack, but also to pro tect itself.
 Once only did the crabs give the tor pedo boats chance. A mile or two north of the scene of action large cruiser was making her way rapidly toward the

Tho Catholic Church and tho Public Schools.
Bishop Foley, OF Detroit, one Of the
brightes: and most popular men in the
Roman Catholic Church, is thus quoted
on the public school question:
Ibelieve in the State providing educa.
tional facilities for It's citizens, and be-
lieye that the public schools should be
non.seCtarian. Stctarianism should not
be allowed TO enter into either politics
or public schools. When l vote / vote

ter fitted for the place in question than
the latter. l do not approve, however,
OF the maintenance OF schools for the

Bishop Foley's utterance is notable
because it comes from one OF the most
devoted OF Catholics and is in strong op.
position to the ground usually taken by
clergymen of his church. The senti-
ment OF John Foley, an American citi.

nor. Mr.. Wilson and tho Democratic
party are to profit by the Democratic
party's violation OF the Constitution.
The court says 1t is not called on to de-
eide whether the Legislature was right
or wrong, yet 1t does say that the action
Of the Legislature, in view Of the cir.
cumstances, was not unreasonable. The
circumstances as rccitcd by the court are
tho change Of the day OF election from
October to November, thus leaving
scant time to try and determine a con.
test. That is to say, defective statute
or tho failure Of the Legislature to legis.
late on particular subject justlfles tho
Legislature in multiplying provision OF
the Constitution covering that subject.
The courts argument on this point is not
conclusive or convincing.
Suppose the time OF the election had
not been changed; suppose contest
had arisen for the office Of Governor;
and suppose that contest had not been
determined before the fourth ofMarch--
what would have happened then2
How can u Constitution or Legislature
forcsce the length Of time that will be
