THE LAND OF SILENCE.

"Twixt the shining sleeps Of fjoyance
And the death-clear lake ofruth
a low land lies-a wonderful land
That knows not age nor youth.
Roses! rosesi roses! nnear. afar, they blow,
All rarely pale, all richly red,
All white as the driven snow.
Red blooms for the lips of loving,
And pale for the lips that sigh,
And shining white for the honest lips
Unstained with coward lie.
For they blow in the land of silence
That lies by the lake of ruth,
And the soul that plucks shall walk unvexed
In the fair green meads of truth.

A quaint conceit in card cases is that
of the lizard skin case in the lizards
green color, with a small lizard of gold
and diamonds writhing across one corner
of the cover. All the bowknots and true
lovers knots and hearts are still used as
the corner decoration of the card case.
Fleur de lys in silver or gold are sprink-
led across the corners or over the whole
surface Of the case, which is corded at
the edge with silver, according to the
fashion introduced last year.

Rearing of Canaries.

Generally the male canary is good
parent and helps the hen to feed and even
brood the young. When this disposition
of the bird exists, the pair are left to-
gether, when the cock, on the Matching
of young bird, will go to the food and
carry some of it in his bill and give it to
the young one. But as q rule it is best
to be on the safe side and remove o the
male bird as soon as the hen has begun
to take to the nest. There are several
useful little and cheap books on the sub
iect of rearing these little pets that may
be procured of the dealers.-[ New York

The First Red Hat.

The red hat was first bestowed upon
cardinals by Leo lV at the Council of
Lyons in 1915. 1t is probable that as
red was in the middle ages royal color,
worn only by kings and members of
royal families, hats and gowns of this
color were bestowed on cardinals to indi-
cate that thenceforth they would rank
with kings and princes. A cardinal is
popularly styled prince of the church,
and in medieval times the Pope's legate
often took precedence even Of royalty.

A REFORM which removes one of the
most shocking practices of the Dark
Ages has just been brought about
through circular sent to all the
Governors in Finland, declaring the
auction of paupers and lunatics to be il
legal. Up till now parishes have not

fox, which, il il lives to DO City years
old having been chased by n dog, trans
forms himself into . beautiful woman
This same fox, il he lives to the age
Of enc hundred years, gains some
new powers among which Ii
that Of becoming wonderful
wizard. When he reaches the
age Of one Thousand years he becomes
q celestial fox with nine golden colored
tails and has the power of going TO
Heaven whenever he chooses They
also believe in . multitude Of animals
distinguished mainly by their monstrous
sias or by the multiplication of their
numbers. Among these are scrpants
eight hundred feet long and big enough
to swallow an elephant; foxes with
eight legs; monkeys with four ears;
fishes with ten heads attached to one
body, the flesh Of which is a cure for
boils. They also believe in the exis
tsnee OF crane which, after it has
reached the age Of six hundred years,
has no need of any sustenance except
water. Their mythical dragon has the
hoad OF a camel, the horns Of deer,
the syss OF demon, the ears of an OK,

He Thinks the Fifty-firss Congress yio-
lated It's Pledges.
AT recent meeting in Boston. ex-
governor Ames gave caustic criticism
OF the Mckinley tariff. His speech ex-
cited great alarm in the ranks of the
American Protective Tariff league, and
Its secretary wrote letter to the ex-
governor asking for an explicit state
ment of his views. He has replied in a
very long letter, of which this is the
pith:
In the presidential campaign of 1888
the Republican party met the tariff
issue by the assertion that it intended,
II successful, to reduce the surplus in
the United States treasury and reduce
the revenue of the government by re-
ducing the tariff on imports all along
the line, but in such way as to preserve
and encourage the manufactures of the
country. 1t claimed that this reduction
should be made by the friends of pro-
lection and not by its enemies; other
wise the interests to be effected would
suffer
On the issue thus presented we elected
Republican president and Republic
an house of representatives. But our
pledge was not kept in its entirety, as it
should have been. Instead of reducing
the tariff duties all along the line, we
raised them on many manufactured
goods that had adequate protection. |
am republican and protectionist, and
believe that our revenue law should be
so adjusted rs to give ample protection
to manufactures, so rs to insure good
wages to the workman and fair profit to
the employer.
But l do not believe in making the
rate of duties SO high as to exclude for
elgn goods and give manufacturer phe-
nomenal profits, and thereby so over
stimulate domestic production as to end
IN rulnous competition or to cause that
reaction which tends to the abolition of
all protective laws, which already has
so many advocates. | am convinced
that the tariff of 1888 was in many in
stances too high, and that the tariff of
1890 IN some of its provisions is still
more burdensome than was that which
1t succeeded. This is the error in legis-
latlon which | wish to point out, to
which more than orce called attention
while the measure wac under considera-
ton IN the congress, and which believe
dld more to defeat the Republican party
IN 1890 through consequent reaction
than any other act of congress during a
quarter of a century.
