The wet weather

For those who see the hand of Prov
idence in daily events the signs are
portentiOus. The Daily News called
attention some days ago to the fact
that the present wet weather is not an
altogether an ill wind. The suggestion
was thrown out that the wet weather
was an embargo laid upon the farmers
OF North Dakota by all-wise Nature to
prevent them rushing their wheat into
the markets Of the world at the COM
paratively low price Of Is or 80 cents a
bushel. The crop condition Of Euro
pean countries insures an urgent and
steady demand for all our surplus
wheat at high prices, provided North
Dakota does not pour out her grain in
such quantities as to depress prices and
give Europeans an opportunity to lay
IN full supply of grain at the present
low prices. The wet weather, by de-
laying threshing has prevented q de-
preston Of prices; as less than one
tenth Of the entire crop Of the state has
been marketed. s3s s5
And this blockade by the weather to
prevent wheat going to European eoun
tries ~ the present low prices, is ably
ssconded ~ the recent steamship acci-
dent in.t tho 500 Canal. BY which all for
eign commerce from the Northwest is

IAN AMERICAN TOWER.

25,OO0 people will be Accommodated in
the tower at one time and two of the
many elevators are to start from the
ground and run more than 1 900 feet up
without change or stop, directly to the
lookout landing. The width of level is
40 feet in each direction. He thinks
that the earnings capacity will be nearly
four times that of Eiffel. After long
and careful study designs have been
completed by Geo. S. S. Morrison, Of
this city. The actual cost is estimated
at 81 ,5OU,000. The cost of the Eiffel
tower was little less than s1,7OO, 900.
The difference is in the greater simpli-
city Of design in the American tower
and the size of standard and merchant
abe sizes of steel that are to be used.

A CHRISTMAS GLEE.
Come. haste. let us seek IL.

Come, haste, let US seek it.
The dear Christmas holly
Its crimson lights CLEAN brightly forth from
the snow;
See it reach out its bonnie green boughs as
an Offering
A rare Yuletide gift on its friends to bestowl
Go seek it, we children,
The dear Christmas holly
Seek it first for the home shrine with swift,
loving hands;
Bring its sheen and its glow to the place
made most sacred
BY tears and by joys throughout kingdoms and
lands.
Go seek it, ye yeomen,
The brave Christmas holly
Make forest of emerald and red in the kirk
Bring the rarest of sprays for the altar-and
to it
Come, worshipers, all-be We Christian or Turk.
Go seek it, We skeptic,
The dear Christmas holly
AS you clasp this bright emblem of Yuletide
-forsake
Your scorn of the truth and your grim spec
ulations,
And of the deep JOY of the Yuletide partake.
So gather it, good folk,
The dear Christmas holly
Let it glow from the altar, and shine at the
feast
May the glory and love of the Christ child
surround us
AS shown the light down from his star in the
east.
