CALLING THE ANGELS IN.

Past National President Lizabeth A. Turne,
avors us with an old poem, preserved among
Ter treasures, which will tie appreciated by the
usy workers of the Wolnan's Relief Corps
yerywhere. How many angels we might all
all in, did we always remember the divine
Injunction: " Be- not forgetful to entertain
trangers, for some have thereby entertained
ngels unawares."
We mean to slacken this feverish pace,
That is wearing our very souls away
And grant 10 our loaded hearts hush
That is only enough 10 let them hear
The footsteps of angels drawing near.
We mean to do IL. O. never doubt,
When the burden of day time brawl is DER,
Well sit and muse while the stars come out,
AS the patriarchs sat ut the open door
or their tents, with a bomeward- gazing eye,
And watch for the angels passing by.
We see them afar at high noontide.
When fierceIy the worlds hot hashings beat.
Yet never have hidden them turn aside
And tarry awhile in converse sweet
Nor prayed them to halow the cheer we spread
To drink of our wine and break our bread
We promise our hearts that when the stress
OF the life-work reaches the longed- for close
When the weight we groan with binders less
We'll loosen our thoughts to sucl, repose
As Danish cares disturbing din,
And then-we'il let the angels in.
The day That we dreamed of comes at last
When. tired of every mocking guest
And brOlS gen in spirit and shoru in strength.
We drop, indeed. at the door of rest,
And whit and watch as the day wanes on,
But the angels we meant to call are gone.

EIGHTEEN THOUSAND WOMEN.

The Society of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution is only six years old "going on
seven." Before the Summer of 1890 the women
who were interested in patriotic association
to perpetuate the memories Of our great strug-
gle for freedom were desirous of joining the
Society of the Sons of the American Revolu.
tion, and many were honorary members. But
in April of 1890 the Sons voted against their
admission to full membership, and this reused
the women TO start out for themselves. In
July Mrs. Lockwood, in newspaper article on
the patriotism of Hannah Arnett, a Revolu-
tionary heroine, protested against the "One-
sided patriotism of the "Sons." In the fol-
lowing October IL women pledged themselves
to Society To perpetuate the memory aud
spirit of the men and women of the Revolution
ary period" Of these IL women four-Mrs.
Lockwood, Miss Deshs. Mrs. Waiwortb, and
Miss Eugenia Washington "a grand-niece of
Gen. Washington)-were recognized in this
last Continental Congress rs founders, and were
awarded gold medals. of which they may we'll
be proud. A Society of 1s, 900 energetic, enthus-
astic women can surely leaven the lump of our
people with patriotism, especially as the lump
seems to be already disposed toward love of our
country, its flag, history. and its laws, despite
the fact that our shores are crowded with i'm
migrants ignorant of our history and Con-

A Palace of Silver.
TCI;.ooo Tin, ,o U,rog<J I


Edward Rosewater, Chief of the Bureau
of Publicity and Promotion of the Trans
Mississippi Exposition, 10 be held in Omaha
from June to November, 1893, acting for
the Exposition Directors, yesterday approved
and accepted the plans Of Architect S. S.
Beman, of Chicago, for silver palace.
This palace is to be the most imposing
feature of the Exposition, and the central
figure in portion of the grounds to be
called El Dorado.
The bnilding is to be 400 square feet,
surmounted with mammoth ornamental
towers, and the entire structure will be
covered with rolled silver, which will reflect
the dazzling glories of the rising and setting
sun. The silver to be used in its external
covering will be contributed by the miners
of the great West. Over 100000 square
feet Of external surface will be covered by
the precious metal.
1t will be arranged in the form of
square, with open arcades and loggias Mt
each story, similar to the Venetian palace.
The corners will be adorned with octaponal
towers, terminating with spires and pin
nacles covered with the shining metal.
The crowning glory of the palace will be
the central lantern, or spire, which is oc-
tagonal in form, $50 feet high and 100 feet
in circumference. The roof of the lantern
will be of glass. Wide avenues will
traverse the ground floor, at the intersection
of which elevators will ascend to the roof.
The interior OF the building will be devoted
to a perfect and practical exemplifcation of
the uses Of silver from the mine to its most
intricate and artistic adaptation to the
beautiful in art and the indestructible in
science.
The contributions Of silver will be In tho

The Gains of a Century.

The Nation has grown since Washington's
day. For instance, in 1890, the first full
year Of his Administration. there were
10 postoffices in the United States. Now
there are more than 10000, and the revenue
of the Postofiice Department is two thou
sand times as great as it was then. Scores
of unfamiliar facts like these, together
with many curious anecdotes of "old
times,h are brought out in an article on the
Eariy Days OF the American Postofiice

course, the usual editorial features are
found in the same number, and there are
many attractive stories, poems and sketches,
by Louise Chandler Moulton, Sophie Swett,
Hayden Carruth. Charles L. Lnmmis and
Others. Especially appropriate to the season
is charming engraving, When George
Washington was Young, by Frank T..
Merrill and the colored cover, designed by
the well-known Boston artist, Sears Gal
lagher, shows the Father of his Country
arrayed IN Continental buff and blue.

The last phrase means merely that she shall
be acceptable socially; that is, in the habit Of

righteous life" There is requirement. that
every applicant shall hare her papers signed

is a reality. II. B. Smith, cashier Of the

Flora. He has perhaps five hundred
trees which he has collected from par
terres in various cities Of the United
