From Minnesota comes the story of a
remarkable religious work in a (pagan)
Chippewa village at the head of Vermil-
ion lake. Frank Porter, half-breed who
had been converted in Canada, began it
by reading the New Testament to them,
with simple explanations and fervent
prayers. Presently the chief, his wife
and daughters professed Christianity.
Then Porter sent for a half breed cousin
of his, Mrs Ellen Dempsey, who speedily
arrived on the scene with a supply of
Chippewa Testaments and (Methodist)
hymn books. Conversions multiplying,
the nearest Methodist clergyman was
summoned. On his first visit, he baptized
q Indians and many others are under in
struction for that sacrament. Even the
medicine man of the tribe has renounced
paganism and given his consent to the
burning OF the sacred drums, staffs and
images. "My power has faded away like
the strength of the dying moose, " he said
to Mrs Dempsey. s'The Great Spirit of
the pale face has spoken and my children
have listened to his words. They have
adopted the white mans religion, and L
believe it is good. [ am mourning the
death of my child, which buried but
week ago, and can not now join you, but
when the season of mourning has passed
|, too, will seek the religion of the pale
face"

The Forsakcn Farmhouse.

Against the wooded hills ii stands,
Ghost of a dead home, staring through
Its broken lights on wasted lands
Where old-time haryests grew.
UnplOughed, unsown, by scythe unshorn
The poor forsaken farm fields lie,
Once rich and rite with golden corn
And pale green breadths of rye.
OfhealthfuI herb AID flower bereft,
The garden plot no housewife Keeps;
Throug gh weeds and tangle only left,
The snake, its tenant. creeps.
The lilac spray. once blossom clad,
Sways bare before the empty rooms;
beside the roofiess porch sad,
Pathetic red rose blooms.
His track In mold and dust of drouth,
On floor and hearth, the squirrel leaves
And in the fireless chf!nney's mouth
His web the spider weaves.
The leaning barn about to fall
Resounds no more on huSl<ing ewes;
No cattle low in yard or stall,
No thresher beatshis sheaves.
So sad, so drear! 1t seems almost
Some haunting presence makes its sign
That down yon shS .la9y lane, some ghost
Might drive his 81 eetral kinel

because of the showers and lowering
skies of Friday and about 100 members of

the day, which, though breezy and lit

been built, the grass moved and swings
hung from the trees near the beach.
Boats were also provided for those who
wished to row. At about noon, the we'll
laden table was the chief attraction,
where plenty of substantial viands, with
cake, ice cream and peaches for dessert
were disposed of with evident relish, LEM

A curious discovery was made, the
other day,by workmen who were putting
in drain near wharf in upper Thames
street, London. This was a subterranean n
tunnel, about 40 yards long, beginning
about so feet from the river and running
in northerly direction. The ends had
been bricked up at some period much lat
er than the original construction and it is
surmised that the passage once provided
secret access to the river and was used
for purposes of political intrigue or
smuggling. The roof is arched and is
covered by stalactites- Above it stands
a house which is more than 800 years
old and is said to have been occupied by

II was greatly surprised,' brother
prelate told the st Louis Republics Mil
waukee correspondent, sat the change
that has taken place in Cardinal Gibbons
in the last year. He looks wan and pale
and moves about with none of the vim
and vigor that have been his noted char
acteristics. Since I last saw him, about
year ago, he has fallen away in flesh in
a manner that is simply astonishing. He
has never been strong man, and now
his friends are greatly distressed because
of his condition. I noticed that he spoke
as though each word uttered cost him
great effort. The cardinal admitted
that the Summer had been hard one
for him. He has been solicited to cast
aside his duties for little while and
take much needed rest, but has refused
to do so. He has said, however. that
after the golden jubilee exercises of
Archbishop Kenrick of st Louis, he will
take respite from work. Cardinal Glib
bons has often been spoken of as a prob
able successor of Pope Leo XIII, but 1
consider it more than likely that the
Pope will outlive the cardinal"

A clergyman in the province Of Kazen,
Russia, has written narrowing descrip-
tion of the sufferings of the unfortunate
peasants of that province, brought ON by
the failure of crops. Large numbers of
them, he says, are starving. Many have
been unable to obtain bread for weeks
and have been compelled to eat grass
and leaves. In one of the villages, con-
sisting of 140 houses, the clergyman
found 16 persons in terribly emaciated
condition, dying of starvation. Only 20
persons were found eating ordinary food
in quantity sufficient to keep them
alive. Visits made to a number of other
villages revealed a similar state of desti-
tuition and distress. In all of them, num-
bers of persons were found either dead
or dying from starvation.
