ST. LOUIS DEPOT.
Opening of Magnificent Structure-Cost
Between S6,OOO,OOO and 81 100000.

Between $6,OOO,OOO and 81 100000.
ST. Louis, Sept IA committee of
citizens and the executive committee
of the Terminal Railroad association,
of st. Louis, have adopted an appropri-
ate programme for the exercises to at
tend the formal opening of the magnif-
icent new st. Louis union station Sat-
urday. Prominent officials of many of
the railroads entering st. Louis have ar
rived in the city during the last few days
to make arrangements with the Termi-
nal Railroad association, of st. Louis,
providing for the use of the st. Louis
Union station and its terminals by
their respective lines with general
Offices in this city, have negotiated
with the Terminal association for
the use of the new station. 1t is
said that the station represents an out
lay of between 100000 and 81, 900,
600, and that those who own con-
trolling interest propose that this in
vestment shall earn at least 10 per
cent per year. They calculate upon
recovering per cent. of this amount
from interested lines in rentals for
the use of the station, and the re-
naming per cent from express
companies and the letting of the de-
sirabl privileges in the station
proper. The rental by railroad COM
panies will be based upon the extent
to which they use the station and its
terminals.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1t is estimated by
Joseph Greenhut, statistician of the
health department, that three-fourths
of the working people who were
out of employment year ago
are now earning wages. The idle
wage workers in this city last
September, according to Greenhut,
were not less than 100000 The de-
preston following the boom of May
and June, 1898, continued until recent
ly. A steady return of workingmen
and women to their regular vocations
has since been noticeable, and now, as
Greenhut believes, not more than 25,-
600 Of the 100000 are out of work.

PERMANENT EMBASSY.
The Pope Establishes One in the United
States.

The Pope Establishes One in the United
States.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Statements
have been published from time to time
in the United States and abroad in re-
lation to the establishment in this
country of a permanent legation rep
resenting the church of Rome in mat
ters ecclesiastic, but official confirma-
tion of them up to this time has never
been obtained.
Some days ago Pope Leo notified
Archbishop Satolli, the apostolic dele
gate here, that it was deemed best for
the interests of the church that an am
bassador of the holy father should per-
manently reside in the United States,
and Mgr. Satolli was given to under
stand that he would be kept as resi-
dent apostolic delegate. Up to the
present time no information to the
contrary has been sent to him from the
vatican.
A reporter for the United Press
called at the legation Friday to inquire
concerning the report from Rome that
at the end of this year Mgr. Satolli
would return to the vatican at the re-
quest of the pope. After short con-
sultation with Mgr. Satolli, DR.. Papi,
his secretary, made the statement that
the delegate had not yet been advised
by the pope as to the matter, and, in
view of that, did not believe the report
was true.
Said DIR. Pap;: whether Mgr. Sa-
tolli be recalled or not, some one will
be maintained here in the office he
now occupies. This is now psyma-
nent legation, which represents Pope
Leo in church the same as the en-
bassy of Italy here represents the po-
litical government in diplomatic mat
ters."
After making this important declar-
alton DIR. Papi refused to discuss the
matter further. In view of the salts
factory manner in which the differ
ences in the Catholic church in this
country have been settled by Mgr. Sa-
tolli, and of the good feeling that gen
orally prevails within the church, it is
the opinion here that Mgr. Satolli will
not be recalled.

Why Children Hang Their Stockings.

The custom of hanging stockings
on Christmas eve, like that Of prepar-
ing the Christmas tree, is derived from
the Germans, who have a fable that
while the stockings of good children
are filled with toys and sweetmeats by
Kris Kringle-a corruption of Christ
kindlin, or Christ Child those Of
bad ones receive nothing but small
rod or switch, which is placed in them
by another parsonage, known as
Pelsnichol, literally Nicholas with fur,
meaning St. Nicholas dressed in fur.
1t is a rare sight on Christmas morning
in a German household to see the
expressions of abject misery and broken
heartedness on the face of some poor
little wight who, having been dis
obedient or otherwise naughty on
Christmas eve, finds in his stocking
only small birch rod, while the
hosiery of his brothers and sisters is
filed with bonbons and playthings.
The dread of getting the rod from old
Pelsnichol on Christmas keeps many a
German child in order throughout the
entire year.

The Birth of Christ.

The observance of the 18TH OF De-
cember as the birth of our Saviour is
ascribed to julius, bishop of Rome, A.
D. 537-52. The Eastern church had
previously observed the 9th of January
in Commemoration both of the baptism
and the birth of Christ. The exact
date Of Christ's birth appears not to
have been known in the early church
and can not now be determined.
Between the middle of December and
the middle of February there is
generally in Palestine an interval Of
comparatively dry weather, preceded
and followed by the early and later
rain. Thus there might have been
shepherds on the plain of Bethlehem
watching their nocks at night.

AT THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR.
A Time to Seriously Think of Our
Faults, Failures and Mistakes.
lOhiO Farmer,I

The close of the year is always a
time for serious thought and reflection.
The past crowds upon US at such a
time with far more than usual intensity
and especially forces upon our atten-
ton our faults, failures and mistakes.
Let US look them squarely in the face
and profit by them. The wise man
always does this, but the fool never.
The latter goes on committing the
same follies and making the same mis-
takes, never profting by his experience,
to say nothing of the experience of
Others. Every man makes mistakes.
1t may not be his fault the first time,
but it is if he makes the same mistakes
a second time. We believe that the
secret of success with those who sue
coed, and the cause of failure with
those who fail, will be found largely in
the ability and disposition to study the
causes of both success and failure, not
only in ones own experience but in
that OF others. The farmer now has
leisure to review the operations of the
year, and he should do it candidly
and critically. Make a complete
analysis of every important operation.
Find the weak places in it and trace
them to their origin. Nothing will
prepare one SO. thoroughly for the
operations of the year to come as this
kind of searching investigation.
And while we are about this bust
ness we should look just as carefully
into our record Of moral responsibility.
We should be far more anxious to i'm
prove character, mind and morals than
to improve our farms. Serious study
of our weak points and Of means to
strengthen is very profitable business
at any TINE, and if pursued assid-
uously will strengthen and develop all
that is good and admirable..in our
natures, and make: us. better, stronger,
noble men and women as the>years go
by. And. tie time will come@:in the

Origin of Christmas Greens.

The custom of decorating churches
and houses with evergreens, branches
and flowers is of very early date. The
Jews us>I them at their feast of taber-
naCles and the heathens in several of
their ceremonies, and they were
adopted by the Christians. Christ
permitted branches to be used as a
token OF rejoicing upon his triumphal
entry into jerusalem. 1t was natural,
therefore, that at Christmas time, When
his birth was celebrated, this symbol
of rejoicing should be resorted to-.
Some of the early councils, however,
considering that the practice somewhat
savored of paganism, endeavored to
abolish it, and at one time it was
enacted that it was not lawful to begirt
or adorn houses with laurel or green
boughs.

WONDER WHAT I'LL GET?

Wonder what I'm going to get?
This is what begins to fret
All the little girls and boys,
When they think of Christmas toys.
Long before the day is near
We are always sure to hear,
From each happy household pet
Wonder what I'm going to get?"
Hangs around the house all day;
Doesn't seem to want to play,
Writes, with dirty little paws,
Begging notes to Santa Claus
Hangs his stockings on chair
Sos to find the biggest pair
BY this question always met
Wonder what I'm going to get ??'
Christmas day is here at last
All our troubles now are past.
Santa Claus came down last night,
Spreading round him fresh delight,
With twinkle in his eye,
There" said he, /" sleep on, young fry,
No more by the thought beset,
AS to what you're going to get
Up the chimney quick he goes,
Softly rubS his ruddy nose;
Y ct methinks | hear him sigh
AS he mods last gOod-by,
And methinks hear him say
Ere he vanishes away
Say with just the least regret
Wonder what Pm going to get?"
