The New York Nal and cypress is OF
the opinion that very few people have
any idea Of the manner IN which the de-
velopment Of the commerce on our great
lakes keeps pace with the extention Of
trunk line railroads. The Census Bureau
have issued . second bulletin On lake
transportation, which places the number
ri vessels engaged on the lakes at 1854,
with i gross tonnage Of 924 ,472. j net
tonnage Of 780,119, and estimated carsy-
capacity Of 1,354,72I tons and a egsn-I
merciai valuation Of SIS, sos, 100. This
il 4 marvellous showing, not only for the
lake traffic, but for the development Of
the region beyond Che lakes which has
stimulated the lake commerce.

There is one thing that has kept pace
with the ascending buildings, asserts the
New York Tribune. It takes you less
time to reach the eleventh story Of a new
structure nowadays than it took to reach
the third floor a few years ago. When
you step into an elevator in q modern
building, you feel as if you we're flashed
shrough space. You are no sooner in
the car than you hear the monotonous
stninth,' = Or sstenth,n or eleventh of
the elevator boy. You find yourself over
q great city hardly realizing how you got
there 80 the Inconvenience of having an
Office IN mid-air is reduced to point
scarcely worth considering.

AFTERGLOw.
After the suns last ray

After the suns last ray
Has left the mountain crest,
Taking the golden day
Tolands of the waiting West;
After the darkness falls
Swift on the parting hour.
After the night enthralls
Vine-laced lane and tower;
Like Pushes Of early dawn
With rose-tints permeate,
Up from the glory gone,
Springs glory ~re-create,
Over the realms of cloud,
Over the earth below,
And night holds back her shroud,
In the splendor of afterglow.
After the light of love
Fades in hopeless night,
A glory from above
Fills the heart with after-light.
And when a life's bright ray
Leayeth itsloved in wos,
The hearts it loved find day
In its beautiful afterglow.

it we're half as hard TO eat it as it is to
make it, there would be a less number
of comfortable dentists in St. Paul. Yet
it is a good thing, perhaps, that so MANY
tons Of candies are eaten. for it gives
employment to great many people,
and 1t gives fees TO dentists and doctors.
There is nothing reconcile about the
manufacture, although the skilled con-
fectiOner guards the mOdus Operandi

profound secret. But it does require a
great deal of skill and experience 10
succeed 4 little careIessness or indif-
ference would ruin a whole batch. and
the profits of weeks industry would
be diSslpated. Some confectioners are
artists. but more are inadvertently
cruel satirists. The former build images
that are really delight. while the lat
ter produce crude limitations that are
so very ridiculous that they are humor-
Gus. But they all please the eye of the
Juvenile, and they are all favored to the
palate Of the little ones.
The fayOrite sweet among the ladies
Is the chocolate cream. 1t is dream of
delight, and its appearance might easily
influence one TO believe 1t grew on some
delicious vine in paradise. but it comes
from precisely the same source as do the
less pretentiOus and less delectable
tatfy products. And there is silent
but recognized ethics respecting the
proper sort of candy 10 eat. aud polite
girls are seldom seen buying
bOnbOns now, although a couple
of decades ago bonbons were
considered the proper thing. Gum
drops have also been relocated to the
past. The varieties most in vogue IN
st. Paul are chocolate creams, marsh
mallows, caramelS. The cOnfectioners
also dispose of a great deal of crystal
LIKED fruits, rose leaves. buttercups,
iujube paste and the more common
sorts, such as lemon drops and stick
candy. But for Christmas uses the
mixed candies are considered the proper
thing.

of the candymaker proves a very in
teresting pastime. When this individ-
