Washington, Feb. 1O-Discussing and
flibustering on an appropriation to al
low congressman clerks at $1,000 per
annum brought forward as an amend
ment to the legislative appropriate
bill retarded material progress on the
measures in the house to-day. 1t be-
ing evident that a vote on the propo-
sition was impossible to-day the bill
was laid aside and other business con-
sidered until adjournment.
The senators plowed through snow
drifts to get to the capitol. and the eff
feet Of the blizzard was shown by the
scant attendance in the gallaries. The
condition Of the Washington poor, re-
sulting' from the storm and intense
cold, induced Mr. Sherman Rep. o.
to introduce bill appropriating $1O,-
600, and making an Immediately avail
able fund for the relief of the poor
Formalities were dispensed with and
the bill was passed without opposition
or debate.

Tobacco's Divine" Qualities.

At the banquet which closed the fourth
national convention Of cigar manufacture
ers in New York few years ago Robert
q. Ingersoll eloquently extolled the virtues
of tobacco as follows
Now, then. it is delight to speak on
d subject every one understands. We all
understand the divine plant. | have loved
it all my life-since was l 0 years old. AT
that time man named Wyckotf, the
greatest liar [ ever met, gave me chew OF
this Cavendish pigtail. Strangely enough,
| liked it at once, and five minutes after
my first taste had plug of my own. [
use it now and defend its use against the
moral advice of parsons and the physical
advice of medical men.
Something in the human brain Graves
the leaf If you want to awaken the mind
of the savage, who has no clothes except
climate, increase his wants. Give him a
taste of tobacco. and he will hunt for iron
and dig for jewels and gold to get more Of
the plant.
There too much hypocrisy about the
use of tobacco. Thousands use it and lie
about it. want you to use it and defend
its use. because it adds something to the
value and happiness Of life. 1t spite of
the thunders Of the pulpit and the anathe-
mas of physicians, its use is increasing,
and that is because the brain of man
Graves it.
What would we do without it? Think
of waiting for train without tobacco !
Think of crouching in the deadly rifle pit
without tobacco What would those do
who add value to life by spanning the
world with the rainbows Of fancy without
tobacco? All use tobacco and are the bet
ter for it. Have the courage Of your hap
piness and defend its use,
There is another point | want to make.
Tobacco is a luxury. Let us cheaper all
luxuries. Labor pays all the tax in the
world. Then let labor reap some of the
benefit. Give the workingman tobacco as
cheap as possible The idea is to let the
Door devil work now and smoke in the
world to come. We want him to smoke
now. No luxury should be produced by
suffering. The men and women who make
cigars should be well paid hope you
manufacturers in these days Of trusts will
organize trust for the sole purpose Of
paying your working people well. Then
there will be an added flavor to every
cigar
Tobacco is and always will be an en-
blem of peace When tobacco tastes good
to man, he may be sure he is well. For
my part, | would rather 60 without corn
than without tobacco. Now. finally, let
me exhot you to make the best cigars yoa
can. Give us good goods.

CHRISTMAS CHIMES.

Charles LOtin HId,fth in DeIROreSt'S Mdqd=iHe.
What music floats upon the midnight air.
As sweet and solemn as an angels prayer?
What message to the world, of joy and peace?
What promise that the reign of wrong shall cease?
What word of hope to those that watch and weep?
What blessed balm to bid the work-worn sleep,
To soothe the sufferer ON his couch of pain
To cleanse the sin-sick spirit from its stain?
The mother kneeling by her dying child
Remembers how tho Holy Mother mild
Wept DER her Sacred Son in Palestine
The poor remember how the One divine
Had not place where TO lay his gentle head.
The wretched Magdaene recalls who said
To one like her, For loves sake be forgiven.
In evil haunts the chains of vice are riven
The oath is hushed, and the repentant tear
Dims eyes that have been dry for many year.
1t is the music OF the Christmas chimes,
That, like an anthem of the olden times
When men still lived who saw the Christ on earth
And heard the seraph choral at his birth,
Repeats the gracious promise yet again.
There shall be peace on earth, goodwill to men, :"

How and Why it Rains.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Rain is an accumulation of the tiny par
ticles of the vapor of the atmosphere into
drops. These drops, first small of size,
attract others of their kind and become
drops of such magnitude that they fall to
the earth because of their weight There
il a limit to the quantity Of water which
the air is capable of absorbing and retain
ing as invisible vapor. Warm air is able
to hold more than cold air Hence when
the air which is saturated with moisture
becomes cold for any reason whatever, it
can no longer retain its moisture. A por-
ton must, under such condition, accumu-
hate into drops. These fall to the earth
in the shape of rain

Singing again their sweet sweet song, old yet

With voices, tuned divinely, telling the wondrouS

Of the Virgin Mother mild, and her Babe. the King
ofGlory.
Listen listen to the angels that blessed night of
old
They filled the air with harmony from hea veny
harps of gold;
As to the watching shepherds they brought the It'd

which ushered in
The coming Of Christi, the Saviour. TO redeem the

A SONG OF CHRISTMAS MORN.

BIZ H. 4. FreemGH
Crisp crisp and cold the air and sparkling clear the
morning;
White lined the purple clouds and white the frost
ed leaves;
White sheeted sleep the fields. and icy fringe
adjoining,
Gems all the sleeted boughs and CLEANS along the
caves
(HOnk, honk), the slanting geese trail southwark
high o'erhead
Crack Crack The frozen walks reccho to the
tread.
And the bells hear how they clanG!
How they fill the air with dances.
How they ring ne'er they ring,
How they sing as ne'er they sang,
Sweet accorls and disSonances.
Hear their Christmas utterances!
Hear them call from out the Steeple:
Come We happy Christian people,
(Clang cling, and carols sing,
ding dong sing Christmas song.
For on this day beyond all other days,
All men are friends and friends are all sincere:
And hearty greetings framed in cordial phrazc
Cement anew the friendships ofthe year.
So sing the changing bells
And their iangling music swelS
And the old sweet story tells.
The sun climbs up and gilds the floating clouds.
And smiles upon the icy lakes and streams
And scatters diamonds DER their snowy shrouds,
And wakes the sleeping world from happy dreams.
Now shrieking sledges grinding through the streets,
Bear straining hampers chOked with Christmas
cheer,
And huge brown bundles, rich in Christmas treats,
What matter Christmas comes but once IL year.
And laughing children, tippeted and warm.
Assail each passer-by with cunning thrift:
And eager-yoiced they spring their shrill alarm,
And eager-handed claim their Christmas Gift
And the bellsare swinging, swinging.
And their Christmas carol ringing
(Clang, cling) they grandly sing.

TO INVESTORS:
8 Per Cent. Stock, Interest Pay
able January and July.

The Baltimore Building and Loan Asso-
citation issues Up Stock bearing per
cent interest, and pays it sem-annuaily, Janu-
airy and July.
This stock is backed by First Mortgages on
improved town and city property. at not over
80 per cent. of its appraised value.
Shares are 500 each, and are redeemable
ut the option of the holder any time upon
thirty day notice after six months from the
date of issue, at its face value.
This stock is better than the ordinary mort
gage, because borrowers from the Association
pay interest and part of the principal monthly.
so that if the Association should have to fore
close it would not have to get face value of
mortgage to make itself whole. Under or
binary mortgages interest is payable annually,
and mortgages often lose by the deterioration
of property when the mortgage is due.
Fielder c. Slinglutf, general counsel of the
Association, has $50, 900 invested in the paid
up stock of the Association for himself, his
family and clients, and as all the securities
pass through his hands before acceptance, his
knowledge of the affairs of the company are
intimate.

LET THE ANGELS RING THE
BELLS

By Rer J. Z. RdHIdn, u. H.
Let the angels ring the bells.
Christmas bells
They first brought the news from glory,
First proclaimed on earth the story;
Let the angels ring the bells
Brimming DER with mirth and gladness;
Tumbling turning round in madness;
Christmas bells! Christmas bells!
Telling that to shepherds told,
In their midnight hymn of old
That sweet tale once sung by Them:
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Let the children hear the bells,
Christmas bells
With their romping shouts and laughter
Each the other running after;
Let the children hear the bells
DO not dwell upon their foibles,
Let them be to them as jOy-bells,
Christmas bells! Christmas bells
As they catch them and glad listen,
See the light in their eyes glisten:
Give them gifts of toy or gem;
Christ was born in bethlehem
Let the aged hear the bells,
Christmas bells
Deaf and palsied, downward STOPPING.
sad and lone, round fireside grouping.
Let the aged hear the BELLS
They right well discern their meaning,
Mem'ries of their childhood cleaning:
Christmas bells. Christmas bells
They have heard them yearly ringing,
Nearer their translation bringing;
Sadly sweet the tale to them:
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Let all people hear the bells.
Christmas bells!
In the North, mid heather highlands,
In the South seas, mid spice islands,
Let all people hear the bells!
Hear how Jesus came, a stranger,
And lay cradled in a manager;
Christmas bells! Christmas bells
Woman born, that He might save them;
How His precious life He gave them;
In the tomb was laid for them
Christ once born in Bethlehem.
Let all creation hear the bells,
Christmas bells,
Cease her signing and her moaning.
Cease her travail and her groaning:
Let creation her the bells
Christ has brought hear mans redemption.
Christ has brought her sins exemption,
Christmas bells Christmas bells
Let her join them in their ringing;
Let her break forth into singing,
He her tide of woe shall stem
Christ once born in Bethlehem
