The choice of st. Louis as the place
for holding the next Republican ma
tional convention is the wisest outcome
of the contest, and will doubtless meet
with general approval. OF the four
cities seriously considered it has most in
its favor. San Francisco is SO far dis
tant from the home of the majority OF
the delegates as to render it unsuitable;
Pittsburg had good arguments to sup
port its claims. but it's hotel accommo-
dations are probably insufficient, and 1t
is less central than st. Louis; Chicago
injured its reputation as convention
city by the partisan course of its news
papers and its local politicians in 1888.
St. Louis is central, easily accessible, is
amply supplied with hotels, and will
provide a convention hall Of good size.
Missouri has no candidates of its own,
and is free from such entangling al
liances as would give any candidate
whose name is likely to be presented
the undue advantage of local influence.
Moreover, st. Louis deserves this token
Of appreciation for it's great advance In
Republicanism. AS return compli-
ment for giving 1t the convention the
State should come up and be counted in
the Republican list next year.

JOHN HUNTER, the famous anatomist,
once said that the feminine love of con-
versation was consequence of a pecul-
iarity in brain tissue.
AS ARTISTS, women have shown more
taste than originality. They paint
landscapes and portraits beautifully,
but rarely achieve great pictures.
THE brain of woman is absolutely
smaller than that of man, but is stated
to be somewhat larger in proportion to
the weight of the body.
A WOMAN with military nose and
prominent chin is certain to make her
mark. All female society leaders have
had such facial peculiarities.

Shining down on the rlngets' sheen,
She is standing somewhere-she shall honor,
She that wait for, my queen, my queen.
Whether her hair be golden or raven,
Whether her eyes be hazel or blue,
] know not now, but twill be engraven
Some day hence as my loveliest hue
Many girl have loved for minute,
Worshiped many face have seen:
Ever and aye there was something in It,
Some thing that could not be hers, my queen!

She that love NAV be fairy light;

Whatever she does 1t will then be right
She may be humble or proud. my lady,
Or that sweet calm that is just between'
And whenever she comes she will find me ready
To do her homage, my queen, my queen!
But she must be courteous, she must be holy,
Pure In her spirit, this maiden love-;
Whether her birth be noble or lowly,

But Ill give my heart to my lady's keeping
And ever her strength on mine shall lean;
And the stars mayfall, and the saints be weep

Ere cease to love her. my queen, my queen!

cut the cord, and thrust his walking
stick into one as helve, resolved to
defend himself to the last. At this in
slant he espied among the thick, up
heaved ice cakes two great fragments
leaning against each other in such a
way as to form roof with something
like a small room underneath. Here he
saw his only chance. Springing within,
be used the ak to chip off other frag-
ments with which to close up the en-
trance, and almost quicker than it can
be told had thus constructed sort OF
fort, which he believed would with
stand the attack of the wolves. AT
nightfall the weather had become cold
err, and he knew that within few min
utes the damp pieces of ice would be
firmly cemented together.
Hardly had he lifted the last piece to
its place, when the pack came rushing
about him, swapping and snarling, but
at first not testing the strength of his
entrenchment. When soon they began
to spring against it and snap at the
corners of the ice, the frost had done
its work, and they could not loosen his
hastily built wall. Through narrow
crevices he could look out at them, and
at one time counted sixteen grouped
together in council. As the cold in
creased he had to keep in motion in
order not to freeze, and any extra
action on his part increased the fierce
ness of the wolves. At times they
would gather in circle around him,
and, after shifting at him eagerly, set
mp doleful bowling, as if deploring
the excellent supper they had lost.
Ere long one of them found an open
ing large enough to admit its head; but
Frank was on the alert and gave Il
such a blow with an ak as to kill it.
Soon another tried the same thing,
and met with the same reception,
withdrawing and whirling round
several times and then dropping dead
with a broken skull. One smaller than
the rest attempted to enter, and, re

ceiving the fatal blow, crawted, IN ita
dying agony, completely into the iu-
closure, and lay dead at Franks feet.
For this he was not sorry, for his feet
were bitterly cold, and even the warm
carcass of the animal served to relieve
them.
Toward morning, as the change OF
weather continued and the waters OF
the river began to diminish, there was
suddenly prodigious crack and crash
Of the ice-bridge, and the whole mass
settled several inches. At this the
wolves took alarm, and in an instant
fled. Perhaps they might have re-
turned had not the cracking Of the ice
repeated frequently. At length Frank
became alarmed for his safety, lest the
ice should break up in the current,
and, bringing his ak to bear, soon burst
his way out and fed to shore. But,
not seeing the ice crumble, he ventured
back to obtain the other ak, and then
fastened home to his employer. Dur
ing the day he skinned the wolves, and
within fortnight pocketed the bounty
money, amounting in all to about one
hundred and fifty dollars. With the
money he made the first payment on
large farm, which he long lived to
cultivate and enjoy, and under the sod
of which he found quiet grave.-N.

COMMON EXPRESSIONS.

THE expression to "rain cats and
dogs" indicating severe shower, is
found in Dean Swift. 1t is supposed to
be of proverbial origin, and much older
than his time.
"FIAsco" means bottle or flask.
When the italian glassblowers detect
ed flaws in the vase they were blowing
they made an ordinary bottle OF the
failure, and hence the name.
"FAMILIARrTY breeds contempt" is a
proverb found in one form or another
in every English and Asiatic language
having literature. Its earliest form
Is believed to be the Sanskrit.
To TURN the cold shoulder" is prob
ably very ancient proverb. It first
appears in literary form in SCOTS
"Antiquary," where 1t is used with
exactly the significance attached to it
at present. !.
ssNEvER less alone than when alone"
has been traced from one author to an
other, and many claims have been
made to it's first employment. No
earlier use can be found of 1t, however,
than by Cicero.
THE phrase almighty dollar" was
first used, SO far as known, by Wash
ington Irving. 1t has since passed into
general employment to indicate the
worship of wealth, both in this country
and in england.

Good Advice.

There is story of one of the royal
grandsons, when an English MILDLY,
saying, reprovingly, to his brother as
"God Save the Queen" was being sung:
"Come! why don't you sing God save
your grandmother" The following
incident, told by an English paper, fur
nishes a worthy parallel:

suffers from impaired vision. He re-
Gently held reception. At length a
guest approached, and said:

mother wishes to be kindly remem
bered to YOU"
"Ah," said the bishop, "that is very
good of her. And how is the dear old
soul? Nothing like good old niotherl
Be sure to take care of your old
mother. Good morning"
The bishop did not know who his
visitor was, and said to his footman:

The word edgar" is believed to
come from the Spanish cigarra, mean
ing grasshopper; and at first the sig
nificance and propriety of the term
seem questionable. But in Spanish a
garden was cigarral, or the place
where the grasshopper sang. Tobacco
was usually grown in q cigarral, and
when the leaves were rolled up and
brought to guest the host, specially
to recommend the product, was careful
to state that it was grown in his own
ciQarral. Thus the word which means
grasshopper came, in a modified form,
to be applied to the habitat of the
grasshopper, and finally to'the cigar,
whose material was grown there.
