THE SAND STORMS OF THE GREAT
AMERICAN DESERT

AS would be inferred from its tenn
perature, the desert is land of fear
full winds. When that volume of hot
air rises by its own lightness, other air
from the surrounding world must rush
in to take its place and as the new
ocean of atmosphere, greater than the
Mediterranean, pours in enor-
NOUS waves into its desert bed,
such winds result as few in fer
tile lands ever dreamed of. The
Arabian simoOm is not deadlier
than the sand-storm of the Colorado
Desert las the lower half of this region
is generally called). Express trains
cannot make head against it-nay.
sometimes they are even blown from
the track Upon the crests OF some
of the ranges are hundreds Of acres
buried deep in the fine, white sand
that those fearful gales scoop up by
carloads from the plain and lift on
high to fling upon the scowling peaks
thousands of feet above. There are
no snowdTifts to blockade trains
there but it is frequently necessary
to shovel through more troublesome
drifts of sand Man or beast caught
in one of those sand-laden tempests
has little chance of escape. The man
who will lie with his head tightly
wrapped in coat or blanket and stifie
there until the fury of the storm is
spent, may survive but woe to the
poor brute whose swift feet cannot
bear it betimes to a place of refuge.
There is no facing or breathing that
atmosphere of alkaline sand, whose
Eghtest Whit inflames eyes, nose, and
throat almost past endurance.

Mrs. Gregg had one of the prettiest
weddings that ever took place in the
Massachusetts, town in which she
lives. But there was an odd incident
of the occasion which a few of her
friends who are in the secret recall
with much amusement. Although a
lady of quiet taste, Mrs. Gregg wore
something which certainly no bride
ever wore before.
Her wedding present from her old
friend DIR. Jameson was an exquisite
affair of lace, embroidery and white
satin ribbon, which he had brought
from Paris. 1t came just as the we'd
ding party were starting for the
church.
"What lovely bag ~ exclaimed the
bride 81 am going to wear it. That
will please dear DIR. Jameson :" and
slipping the white satin strings over
her arm she thought no more of it
until after the ceremony.
'That is a beautiful bag, and so
odd" II never saw a bag like it. The
material is so beautiful" commented
some of her friends.
81 suppose the style is new" replied
Mrs. Gregg. 'Dr. Jameson brought
it to HE from Paris. / am delighted
with it."
did you put anything in it ?'' ask
ed DR.. Jameson, who had been listen
ing to this conversation with a smile
that was suspiciously near a laugh.
NO" replied Mrs. Gregg; I'll put my
handkerchief in. What-why-why
there's no bottom in it. What is it,
DIR. Jameson ~
WELL" replied DIR. Jameson, 81
bought it for a lamp shade ~
And it was a lamp shade, edged with
lace and drawn up at the top with
white satin ribbon.

THE ROSE OF GORE.

The story of the "Red Rose of
Gorze," as charming as it is true, is
often told by Germans to illustrate
the touching loyalty of a subject and
the grateful remembrance and appre-
citation of his sovereign. In August,
1870, German officer was lying
wounded in the house of a French
family, near the little town of Gorze
in Lorraine. He had received six
wounds in the battle of Mars-ia-Tour,
five of them as he lay on the ground,
while the fight surged around him :;
and he was scarcely expected to re-
cover. The French family in whose
house he was quartered nursed their
wounded enemy with much kindness
and skill.
One morning the officer found placed
in glass by his bedside a beautiful
red rose, just opening, which the
daughter of the house had brought
in from the garden while he slept. Its
scent and beauty were refreshing to
the sick man, but instead of keeping
it, he sent his soldier-servant at once
with it to Gore, where the King Of
Prussia's headquarters were, and told
him to give that rose to the King, with
the message that one of his wounded
OluCGTS IiStu scIll IL W HllIl. iiC mig
put the rose in his buttonhole and in
quired the name of the officer. Cap
tain Won Zedwitz, red Regiment Of the
Line" was the reply.
When Captain Won Zedwit8 was suf-
ficiently recovered to be removed to
Berlin he found that his rose had be-
came famous, for showers of roses
red roses-were sent to him from all
sides, so that his rooms were full of
them In March of the next year, six
months after the original rose had
faded, IedwitZ had occasion to ask an
audience of the Emperor King. He
was received most graciously, and at
the Emperor's request told the story
of the battle of Mars-la-Tour. Then,
to Captain Zedwitz's surprise, the
Emperor spoke of the rose which had
been sent to him at Gore, and again
thanked the officer for it.
AS Zedwitz was leaving the Emper-
or, he met the Crown Prince, who in
his conversation, also recalled the rose
with smile Even then Captain Won
Zedwitz had not heard the last of his
famous rose, for on the following
Christmas he had the pleasure of re-
ceiving an autograph letter from the
Emperor enclosing an emblematical
picture-a stone bearing the date
August 10, 1870, Gore partly covered
by the tricolor of the Confederation, a
Prussian infantry helmet with oak
wreath below, and the Iron Cross with
ribbon. A rose in dull silver was in
troduced in the gold frame.

"NOT MADE WITH HANDS,"

Youths Companion.
Farmers wives in the middle States,
descended from the Pennsylvania
Dutch, are noted for the excessive
neatness of their housekeeping. 1t is
said to be not an unusual thing for
one of these matrons, when she feels
her last hour approaching, to make a
tour of the house, seeing with her own
eyes that every room is swept, busted
and garnished for the eyes of stran
gers who may come to the funeral.
A housewife who died lately in New
England is said to have added econ
me out in the Kitchen" she whispered
with her last breath. 1.-THE bearers
would muddy the parlor carpet"
Cleanliness is undoubtedly a close
attendant upon godliness, but many
good women in their love for the one,
are in danger of installing it for the
other.
1t is a good and creditable thing to
have well-swept carpets and rooms so
dainty that no fly, spider or speck of
dust is ever to be found in them but
if the housekeeper obtain these things
by the loss of her temper, if they rob
her of her time for recreation, for
reading and for prayer, she has sold
her birthright for very poor mess of
pottage.
1t is the custom with these Pennsyl
vania mothers to give to their daugh-
tiers, while still children, room to
clean every day, in order that they
may early learn how to sweep, dust,
wash windows, and in a thousand
ways wage warfare against dust,
warfare which is expected to last all
through their lives.
Every careful mother, of whatever
rank or race, is DESTROYS that her
daughter shall be q good housekeep-
er if she does not actually clean her
dwelling with her own hands, she
must know how to direct others
But how many girls remember that
to each one of them has been given a
dwelling, which is entrusted to her eX-
elusive care, and which no one but
herself can cleanse or keep in order?
1t matters little whose hands sweep
or dust the room in which she sleeps
and eats. But that inner chamber in
which the soul dwells she alone can
keep in order.
Does she examine it every morning,
to sweep out the vulgarity, the malice,
the indolent Indifference to God and
HIS truth which she may IND there ?
She is watchful through the day to
keep all filthiness and poisonous infec-
ton from her parlor and chambers.
Does she shut out as carefully all I'M
cleanness and contagion from that hid
den place within?
She does not open her house at night
for noxious insects and foul birds to
harbor in it. Does she thrust out
l. III, Il IL, -,
and gossip, with their malignant
sting, from that most secret chamber
She may live in a hut or a palace.
But that place in which her soul
dwells is unseen by mortal eye. 1t is
her work to keep it clean and pure as
long as life lasts. When her body is
carried out dead her neighbors will
enter and see her earthly house. But
God alone, looking upon that secret
dwelling, will judge what her soul and
life have been.

TOMORROW.


strength for to-day is all that we need,
As there never will be tomorrow;
For tomorrow will prove but another day
With its measures of joy and sorrow.
Then why forecast the trials of life
With such sad and grave persistence,
And wait and watch for a crowd of ills
That as yet have no existence?
Strength for to-day what precious boon
For earnest souls who labor,
For the willing hands that minister
To the needy friend or neighbor-
Strength for to-day, that the weary hearts
In the battle for right may quail not,
And the eyes bedimmed by bitter tears
In their search for light may fail not.
Strength for to-day on the down-hill track
For the travellers near the valley,
That up, far up on the other side,
Ere long they may safely rally.
Strength for to-day that our precious youth
May happily shun temptation,
And build from the rise to the set of the SUI
On q strong and sure foundation.
Strength for to-day in house and home,
To practice forebearance sweetly;
To scatter kind words and loving deeds,
Still trusting in God completely"
