privileges on New Years eve, at which

has in any way offended the tylwyth teg
during the now dying year. Let such a
mother watch carefully and increasingly

French Canadian Jour de Ian.

A child prostrate before its father ask
ing for his blessing on New Year g
morning. This is typical custom
among the French Canadians Of the
province Of Quebec, and undoubtedly
retained by French Canadians now resi-
dent In New England and other parts Of
this republic. The head Of the family
rises early New Years morning, renews
the fire on the hearth and in the stoves,
and, seating himself in an armchair
within the shadows Of the Yule log,
watches the embers and awaits the first
of his offspring to ask for the paternal
blessing on the glorious "jour de Ian. "

High in the belfry is tolling his knell
From tho phantom rim Of magic bell.
And the world Is swayed by its mystic chime.
For earth is the ponderous tongue that swings
In the tower Of time The cathedral dim

The chimes are the passions that sway men g

That tempt and inspire them. The thought,

Washington Letter

FROM OUR REGULAR CoRPEsroNDENT
WASHINGTON, D. c., December 3Otn, 1895.
Those who said that President Cleve
lands message, which prevented the
usual Christmas recess of Congress, was
not sent in with the expectation Of get
ting assistance from Congress, but was
merely the forerunner of another issue,
are inclined by the latest developments
to say, II told you so,' while the aver
age member of both House and Senate
is inclined to say words that would be
out of place in family newspaper.
Although it is regarded as practically
certain that the bill authoriz ing the ls-
sue Of per cent coin bonds, which was
gotten through the House by Il small
majority after the most vigorous use Of
the party whip forty.seven republicans
voted against it by Speaker Reed and
his lieutenants, cannot pass the Senate,
President Cleveland isn't going to wait
to find out, but is going ahead with an
other bond issue under the old law,and
apprehending that Congress may be
mad enough torepeal that law he is 90
ing to make the issue startlingly large
one. And, as though to add to the ex.
isting hard feelings between the execu-
tive and legislative branches of the gov
ernment, it is hinted that the President
had arranged with the bankers syndi-
cate for another issue Of bonds before
he sent that financial message to Cong
ress.
Jingoism having had an inning it is
now the turn of peaceful arbitration to
come to the front Representative Bar,
rett, of Massachusetts, the same young
man who created sensation at the be-
ginning of the session by offering a res
olution to impeach Ambassador Bayard
has introduced a]oint resolution author
izing the President to arrange a con-
ference between the United States and
those nations possessing territory on the
American Continent for the settlement
of all boundary disputes.
The bill for the establishment OF the
University Of United States, at Wash
ington, which has in one or another
shape been before every Congress for
some years past, has been introduced
in both House and Senate again. 1t
may be that this bill may get through,
inasmuch it only appropriates a small
sum of money, to enable the regents
of the proposed University to organize
and authorizes them to receive gifts of
land and money from friends of the
University. It is probable that there
will eventually be such an institution
as the University of the United States,
but if there is it will be established and
maintained by Congressional appropri-
alton and not by donations from indi-
viduals.
Senator Butler of N. c., wants the
Constitution amended so as to meet the
objections of majority of the U. S.
Supreme Court to the legality Of Fed
eral income tax, and he has introduced
a joint resolution providing for an
amendment to the constitution that will
accomplish that purposs.
The Senate has completed the reor-
ganization of it's committees, but it is
not likely to do much else until next
week.

WATCHING THE OLD YEAR OUT.

The Custom Once Common In New Emf
land Has Nearly Passed Away.
An old fashioned "watoh night in
New England or the middle states was
until recently one of the institutions OF
this country. The keen, frosty air OF the
early evening bore upon its crystalline
and twinkling depths the sound OF nu'
merous strings of sleighbells converging
ot the church. The we'll loaded cutters
and tho crowded sleighs Missed through
the creaking SNOW, that stamped OH
with loud emphasis at the porch door,
announced the arrival Of each load. The
interior of the church, heated to almost
a point of discomfort by big stoves, still
retains the decorations put up when the
Christmas tree did service before its re-
moyal Tho usual chatter and gossip
soon subside. A solemn hush falls over
the assembly, and when the first hymn
is given out it is sung with more hearty
uplift of tone than usual. The prayer IS
more fervent than usual, and the an
them that follows it is more like dirge.
Tho young elder, who Is present,
breaches an address, the tones OF which
fall Oh all hearts with a sadness that be-
gets repentance. No such theme as this
finds expression at any other portion OF
the year, "We all do fade as leaf, -
and then he closes with Longfellow's
mournful words:
Howl, howl, and from the forest
Strip the red leaves away.
Would the sins that thou abhorest,
O soul, could thus decay
And be swept awayl
Kyrie elcison! Christie eleison!
More singing, more prayers, all instinct
with earnestness, and then a shrill
voiced girl recites Prentice's dying
Year."
'Tis midnights holy hour. etc

comes a breathless waiting, and the bell

Do You Want to Stop Tobacco

You can be Cured While Using Ii.
The habit of using tobacco grows on man
until grave diseased conditions are produced.
Tobacco causes cancer of the mouth and stom'

wasting of the optic nerve, resulting in
impairment of vision, even to the extent of
blindness, dizziness, or vertigo, tobacco asth-

fatal heart disease. 1t also causes loss of
vitality.

denly is too severe shock to the system, as
tobacco-to an inveterate user, becomes a
stimulant that his system continually crayes.

The suggestion seemed to escape the
physician, but it came like a blow to
me. Margaret's sudden and deep sleep
might furnish the explanation of the
entire mystery. Hilton sat next to
Margaret at the table He might have
drugged her food. This necessitated
the superstition tina. he knew that She

not impossible that he should have

might have caused her to inhale some

Cancer
Can be Cured.

1t is very often that the most insig-
niticant symptoms are forerunners of
the most violent disease. There is
not a more destr uctive disease than
Cancer, and in a majority of cases it
