THE FADED YEAR.

Eeep who will the faded year,
have weaned mine eyes from weeping.
Drop not for the dead n tear;
Love her-she is only sleeping.
And when storms of wild unrest
Der the frosted fields come sweeping
Weep not; meath her snowy vest
Nature gathers strength from sleeping.
Rnst and labor; pleasure, pain,
Hunger, feeling, t.rirstin thinking,
Ebb and 1ow, and loss an u,
Love and hatred, dream ing, thinking,
Each for each exists, and all
Bind one secret mystic tcther,
And each IS best as each lnay f-n
For you and me and al together
Then clothe thee or in foTi1 vest,
Thou changcful year, or ia livery sober,
Thy present wear shall please me best
Or rosy June or brown October
And when loud tempests spur their race
Ill know and have no cause for weeping;
They brush the dust from off thy face
To make theo wake more fair from sleep'ul

ARCTIC pIscoMFoRTS.
According to Dr. hansen Thirst Is the
Leading One.
And she believed him.

DR.. hansen, who has just returned
from an arctic journey, says that the
thirst induced by the irksome labor
of sledge-hauling is the severest dis
comfort to the explorer, says an ex-
change. Though the polar world Is
covered with frozen water there is none
for drinking purposes save that wnlch
is thawed and on the march 1T is al
most impossible to thaw it. Other eX-
plorers complain bitterly OF the ef-
fects of the wind and sun. 1t Is we'll
known that a very low degree OF cold
can be borne without discomfort so
long as the air is still, but the moment
it gets into motion it strikes the skin
like the blast of a furnace. Its effects
have often been described as precisely
similar to those of burn. The sun,
when it is visible, is hot, and peels
and blisters the skin, making 1t in
finitely more sensitive to the attack Of
the wind. Others, again, say that the
warm, relaxing damp of the polar sum-
mer, with all the diseases that it
brings, is infinitely worse than. the in
tense cold of winter; but, perhaps, af-
ter ALL the greatest evil and misery
which confront the polar explorer
spring from the fearful depression
mental and physical, of the long nights
of 1900 and 5000 hours of gloom and
semi-darkness. Under it's influence
men seem to suffer like plants de-
prived of sunlight. A week or so will
often completely change their charac-
tiers, and the enforced idleness univer-
sal gloom and bitter cold combined re-
duce life to its lowest terms and make
it so miserable that many have found
refuge from it in insanity or suicide.

sorrow.
"Oh, woman! without an atom OF
faith" Then he put his hand in his
pocket and produced the photograph.
oh! Darling! Forgive me! You had
my picture. The old thing taken be-
fore we were engaged! Why, | didn't

The restored confidence made her
pretty blue eyes swim in fearful JOY.
She put her arms around him, asking
his pardon, caressing even his coat col
lar.

UNITED STATES WINS.
Great Britain Agrees Ia Arbitrate the
Venezuelan boundary Dispute.

The arbitration of the Venezuelan
dispute is settled fact. All arrange.
ments have been completed at Wash.
ington and all details Of the arbitra,
ton treaty between the United States
and Great Britain are arranged.
The terms were cabled To London
and have been accepted. The
treaty covers Venezuela only.
and does not include "A general treaty
of general arbitration between the
United States and Great Britain, but
opens the way for future negotiations
to that end.
The king OF Sweden and Norway,
Oscar III, has been chosen by the treaty
as the fifth and final arbitrator The
other four are to be designated two by
the lord chief justice of England and
two by the chief justice of the United
States. Venezuela will not be directly
represented on the comission.
An essential feature of the treaty is
that so years actual possession is to
constitute title. With this limitation
as to the settled districts the entire
sweep of Venezuelan boundary is
placed in the hands of the court of ar
bitration. The treaty was concluded
in Washington at the British embassy,
Sir Julian Pagncefote representing her
Brittanic majesty, and Secretary
Olney the United States.

ditions of the human family, and to
feel sympathy for the savage and de-
graded races of far-off lands as well as
for the poor ard ignorant of more civil
lied nations.
The business of the committee is
stupendous, including the disburse-
ment of good sized fortune TO the
various branches of mission work and
the laying Of plans for raising another
fortune to be put out the next year
The report OF the treasurer showed the
cash receipts to be Sl,22l, 25s. Is, gain

ing balance of S51,14l.02. This bal
ance applied to the indebtedness leaves
total of Sls7, DAB, which the mis-
sion committee owes its creditors
After lengthy discussion which showed
that the men of God were good tinan-
ciers is was voted to place the appro-
priations for next year at 81 ,12l 900
Platform meetings for the general
public were held each evening and the
bishops were distributed among the

No Chinese noert-Gardens in New yorl


There is one feature of New York
amusements that is wholly unknown to
the Chinaman and that is the con-
cert-garden. To congregate in a pub
lie place TO drink intoxicating bever-
ages, listen to sensuous music, and
watch vulgar displays of the human
figure; to be waited upon by young
women of more than questionable char
aeter; to take part in profane and OBJ
scene talk; all this is beneath the dig
nifty of a Chinaman, and nowhere in
the Chinese quarter, from beginning
to end, can such a place be found. But
they are found on the Bowery, and
Germans, Irishmen, Italians, and Jews
fill the places to the doors.--"The Chi
