ABSOLUTELY PURE
in THE SNOW.

Deep in snow the country road
Winds across the snowy hill,
All the fields with drifts are white,
And the fakes are falling still.
Ger the pinetree grim and old,
Like beggar in the cold,
Over ragged oaks that stand
Gaunt and gray on every hand,
Over elm-treeS bare and brown,
Still the snowh4kes futter down.
In the woods the little bIouklet
Trembles as the chill winds blow,
And the white birch shakes and shivers
ln the SNOW.
Pale and pure against the sky
Family CLEANS the village spirc,
Steadfast still through mondays sun,
Evening mist, or morning fire;
And the snowfakes slowly fall
In their whiteness over all,
Till the slender bending stems
And crystal fretwork fine
Covers every tangled vine.
Safely, sweetly, rest the dreamers
In the quiet town below,
In the silent town, safe folded
In the snow.
Restlessly the eager wind
Echoes like throbbing Lutte,
Till the willows in the hollow
Culver and are mute.
Under rifted clouds of gray,
With her troubles put away,
Now the old world lieth white
In the patient hush of night,
Not a dream of sorrow thrills
| Through the silence OF her hills.
God has touched her cloudy valleys,
flushed her countless tones of woe,
And with sweet forgiveness folds her
In the snow

An exchange says: We have Just
heard of a man who has some apples in
his cellar that were placed there over a
year ago and are still of fine flavor and
and as sound as bullets. His plan is
a simple one which can easily be prac-
ticed by ever producer of fruit. The
plan is to wrap each apple up separately
IN a piece of common newspaper, being
particular to have the fruit entirely
covered and prevent as far as possible
the fruit being exposed to the air.
They can then be put into a box or
barrel and stored in the cellar. All
the apples must be sound and free from
bruises, and the newspapers used must
be ones on which the subscription has
been paid in full. Otherwise the damp
ness resulting from what is due will
cause the fruit to spoil.

Henry NJ. Stanley. in an article on
the Development of Africa, " which is
to appear in the February Century,
recalls the fact that troubles with the
Beers in Southern Africa first induced
David Livingstone to travel to the
North, and so led the way to the open
ing of Equatorial Africa. Livingstone,
who was a missionary at Kolobeng, ac-
cused his Boer neighbors of cruelty to
the natives. They resented his inter
ference and threatened to drive him
from the country. He published their
misdeeds in the Cape newspapers, and
his house was burned in revenge. This
led to his leaving Southern Africa and
going to a region where he could fol-
low in peace his vocation as a mission
ary, unmOlested by the Boer farmers.

Cordial. 1t supplies food in an artificially
digested form and at the same time aids the
digestion of other foods in the stomach. In
other words, by the use of the Shaker Di-

Railroad Construction.

For eight years the mileage Of annual
railway construction In the United
States has been steadily decreasing
From nearly $4,000 miles Of track laid
In the wonderful year OF 1887 the totals
have gone down by thousands and hun
dreds, until 1905 touched the lowest
round for twenty years by adding only
1903 miles to our railway system. But
this does not mean that the demand
for railways il nearly supplied and
that construction will continue to do
crease. On the contrary, there Ia room,
and will be need for additions far great
err than the entire present mileage OF
the country. We have now something
over 1Si 900 miles OF road. To equal
Great Britain In Its ratio of railway
mileage to square miles We should have
n total Of 100000 miles; to equal tho
abundant supply of Illinois we must
have $50, 600 miles, while II Massac hu.
sets, with Its mile of railway to every
four square miles OF territory, be the
standard, the United States will even,
tually boast of ~. 900 miles OF lines.
That there Is much railway building
yet to he done the records prove be.
yOnd doubt. When It will be done
depends upon conditions yet to be de-
velOped. A considerable amount of
work IL already under way. During
the first three months of this year 25a
miles of track were laid on twenty
lines, and including these our hooks
already show sixty lines on which II
seems reasonably certain that 1850
miles of track will have been laid by
the end of 1896, with a possibility OF
much more. 1t all depends on the
times, not or the question of finding
room or demand for more railroads.
