The weather has been anything but

the latter is the only possible mode of
of travel except on foot or on horse
back. In going from the lake to Mid

village in a sleigh and then borrow a
wagon to finish up, and possibly break

Wonderful Power.

The power of imagination is anus.
ingly illustrated in the story told of
an old lady who had never heard the
celebrated violinist Paganini play,
and one day obtained permission to
attend rehearsal of one of his con.
certs.
1t SO happened that Paganini did
not take his violin with him to the
rehearsal that day, but borrowed
one from member of the orchestra,
and instead of playing as usual sim.
ply kept up kind of pizzicato ac.
compartment
After the rehearsal the old lady
went up to Mr.. Cooke, the musical
director, and said in burst OF en-.
thusiasm "Oh, dear, Mr.. Cooke,
what wonderful man be is! l de-
Glare l never knew what music was
capable of till this morning.
Indeed, madam, he is truly
marvellous man, assented Mr.. Cooke
with a smile, but this morning you
are indebted rather to your imagi-
nation than your ears for the delight
you have had, for Paganini has not
really played at all. He has not even
touched bow
We'll, said the old lady, after a
moments astounded silence, recov-
ering herself, then all I can say is
he's even more remarkable than I
thought he was. For if he can affect
me in such manner without play
ing, what should l do, how should
J. feel, when he really did play?"-

The Snipe's Bill.

The bill of the snipe is provided
with nerve running down to the
tip and then distributing itself over
the end of the beak. This is the on
ly instance of this kind among birds
and is a singular case of the care of
nature in providing for her crea-
lures. The snipe seeks for his prey
in mud and water, where he cannot
see, and it is believed that the nerve
advises him of the presence of food
when his eyes give him no informa-
ton.

YOUNG MEN AS CITIZENS.
\ Citizen Has No Right to He NegIeetfui
OF the Community's Welfare.


of the Community's Welfare.
The Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst,
D. d.. treats of 'The Young Man as
q Citizen" in The Ladies' Home
Journal. In defining the duties of
citizenship he says: IA citizen has
no more right to be neglectful of the
interests of the civic whole in which
he Is member than a parent or
child has to be neglectful of the in
terests of the domestic whole in
which he is a member. There is
the same quality of un- Christian
disregard involved in both cases,
and whether man lets his state or
city shift for itself oEwhether he
let's his family shift for itself in
the one instance as we'll as in the
other he is false to his corporate
duty and is a despicable shirk.
"The doctrine just enunoiated
needs to be preached and pushed.
A great deal of our political misery
is due to the fact that men who are
fairly faithful in most of the rela.
tions in which they are placed do
not hesitate and are not ashamed to
be drones and renegades in their re.
lations to the town or nation that
they belong to. They would oonsid-
er themselves reprobates were they
to allow neighbor to suffer abuse
without an attempt at intervention,
but would see their entire CITY. with
all its machinery of government, 90
to the dogs and the harpies without
one definite effort at rescue or one
distinct thought that such inaction
was wicked and inhuman. Nothing
will correct this evil but the crea-
tion OF sentiment so energetic and
pervasive that decent people will
not have the oowardly audacity to
neglect the primary duties that per-
tain to them in their civic capacity.
Citizens will attend the primaries,
register and vote when the preva.
lent sentiment Of attachment to our
institutions is so pronounced and
compelling that failure to discharge
the functions of citizen will be
branded as contemplate.
Patriotism has come rather gen.
orally to be interpreted as willing.
ness to fight and die for ones ooun-

swers very well for a definition of
patriotism during times of war, but
is generally deficient in that it al

Of peace. We should consider that a

sions when she was threatened by
ruffians. A husbands love has its
sphere of service at all times and
in all situations. So has patriotism.
Shooting our national enemies is on

matter. What our country needs
most is men who will love her and
NOT die for her. but live for her

Everybody is now as happy as can
be, but Santa Claus has not Gnloaded

getting weary, so he calls on Mrs. Nc

Aidon Bened1ct's play of .fFabio
Romani'' is a strong production of more
than ordinary strength and one which
cannot be too lavishly praised 1t is a
melo drama with sense and consistency
as well as undeniab BILE power and un-
tagging interests. The play is spien-
didly set. Mr.. Aidon Benedict and
Miss Olive West have an opportunity
to display their fullest ability:the other
roles are adequately sustained giving
that help to make the whole one of the
most interesting plays on the road
The promised realism comes at the end
OF the drama in the earthquake scene.
The last commences in the mauselum
which occupied the entire stage. At
the climax of the subterrauean como
ton the whole tomb sinks out of
sight, and revealed dwellings falling in
ruins, the earth rocking and rent with
fiery issures, while Mt Vesuvius in
the background belched forth huge
columns of fire and smoke, and poured
req streams of lava on the city of
Naples at its foot. Between the second
and third acts, Miss Grace Hunter will
do her clever fire dance" with its
color effects. These effects are not
simply scenic, but are associated with
the artist. They are beautiful pictures
not copies, but originals. They re-
produce themselves on the brain, and
we hang them in the halls of memory.

He was against tying up the property
Of citizens in litigation.
Mr.. Clifford could not see where the
philosophy of the opposition to the
water bonds came in, as they had been
the means of saving to citizens thou
sands of dollars per annum in water
rates. The deliquent tax payers were
costing the other tax payers at least
$1,000 per year in deprecated scrip.
Judge Coldwell moved that every
deliquent tax payer who could pay
his taxes by January 81, 1897, be allow
ed ten per cent off: and those who pay
by February %, be allowed eight per
cent off. He favored giving the dis
count to the tax payer instead of
lawyer. Mr. Patterson agreed with
him that the water bonds were IL
legal. Mr. Whitmore said any such
measure would encourage people not
to pay their taxes until they were Of
fered discount.

tabled and the original resolution was
