TolLiNe IN DARKNESS.

This world is quarry. We are
toiling alway in the darkness. We can
not see what good is ever to come out
Of our lonely. painful, obscure toll.
Yet some day our quarry work will be
manifested in the glory of heaven. We
are preparing materials now and here
for the temple Of the great King,
which in heaven Is slowly rising
through the ages. No noise of ham,
mer or ak is heard In all that won-
drous building, because the stones are
all shaped and polished and made en-
tirely ready for this world. We are
the stones, and the world is Gods
quarry. The stones for the temple
were cut out Of the great rock In the
dark underground cavern. They were
rough and shapeless. Then they were
dressed into form, and this required
great deal of cutting, hammering,
and chiseling. Without this stern,
sore work on the stones not one Of
them could ever have filled a place
In the temple. At last, when they
were ready, they were lifted out of the
dark quarry and carried up to the
mountain-top where the temple was
rising, and were laid in their place.
We are stones in the quarry as yet.
When we accepted Christ we were cut
from the great mass of rock. But we
were yet rough and unshapely, not fit
for heaven. Before we can be ready
for our place in the heavenly temple
we must be hewn and shaped. The
hammer must do its work, breaking
off the roughness. The ch!sel must be
used, carving and polishing our lives
into beauty. This work is done in the
many processes OF life. Every sinful
thing, every fault in our character, Is
a rough place in the stone, which
must be chiseled off. All the crooked
lines must be Strengthened. Our lives
must be cut and hewn until they con-
form to the perfect standard of divine
truth.
Quarry work is not always pleas
ant. II stones had hearts and sensi-
bilities they would sometimes cry out
in sore pain as they feel the hammer
strokes and the deep cutting Of the
chisel. Yet the workmen must not
heed their cries and withdraw his hand
or else they would at last be thrown
aside as worthless blocks, never to be
built into the place OF honor. We are
not stones; we have hearts and sensi-
bilities, and We do cry out ofttimes
as the hammer smites away the rough
ness OF our character. But we must
yield to the sore work and let it go on,
or we shall never have our place as
living stones in Christ's beautiful tenn
Pile. We must not vince Under the
sharp chiseling Of sorrow.-J. R Mil.

DOUBTFUL DAYS.
little love in doubtful days

A little love in doubtful days
A CLEAN of love-till more and moro
The impress of the loved ones ways
Crept in like sunlight at door,
And famed by kisses in still eyes
1t grew flame both pure and bright,
While slow the moon, above the leaves,
Sailed down blue spaces night by night
Until to eyes that blucr were
Than any reaches Of clear sky,
told my love; and knew by them
First knew her mine to live or die.
And here beside the coffin lid,
With light of love eclipsed in tears,
think of what the white hands did,
So long ago in doubtful years.
And what the parted lips then said,
Between their kisses, "You and
Will live beyond the dying bed,
For love, the true, can never die

ZOLA'S DEFIANCE.
THE FRENCH NOVELIST CHAMPIONS

One of the mos: talked about men

apostle of realism. And no wonder,
Tor has he not boldly come forward as
the champion of the convict Dreyfus
and charged the authorities, who con-
demned Dreyfrs to a traitors doom
with all manner of wrongdoing? Zola's
outspoken utterances have reused the
authorities to wrath, and they have
compelled him to defend himself in
open court.
What an amazing spectacle-a story
writer at bay before the highest mill
tary authorities of his country! Evil

Feather Lamp Shades.

The latest novelty In the way of
lamp shade is made out of the soft
smooth-lying under feathers taken
from the breast and head of large
birds. These shade are not intended
to screen the entire fame. They are
set on one side OF the glass globe
andare about as big as very
very full moon, or an oval moon,
If that shape is liked better. An
owl shade for reading lamp is
made of the gray and white mottled
feathers of the ordinary gray owl, and
is designed in the exact likeness of the
owls head. The short curved beak,
the prominent eyes. with their trimmed
circles, and the outstanding ears are all
reproduced. Such a shade costs $2.75.
One representing white OWLS head is
sold for so cents more, owing to the
scarcity of the white OWL
There are cheaper feather shades,
made from dyed feathers put together
in stereotyped patterns, and there are
rare and delicate shades contrived of
rich-tinted bird of paradise feathers,
and the blended hues that hint of the
peafowl's plumage. The sober grays
and pale browns and shaded wood
tints Of the hawk and the heron are
most sought for. but the bright colored
feathers make an effective shade for
drawing room lamp or for one used
in room requiring gay colors. Tiny
candle shades scarcely larger than a
sea shell and prettily curved are also
made of feathers. and the effect is also
novel and pretty In all cases the
back of the feather shade is covered
with silk Of neutral tint. These nov-
elites are neither heavy in weight nor
heavy to look at, and are rather re-
lief from the muffled and bordered,
gimped. and fluted paper and silk lamp
shades SO much used

Chances of Obtaining the Balance of
Power Upon Revival of Political
Interest in England.

Dublin, Dec. 20.-The leaderless and is
sueless condition of the liberal party in
England has led to great impatience
among Irish nationalists who see their
hopes and their cause at a standstill The
idea of united Irish party acting inde-
pendently of British parties gains sup
porters every day. Such a party would
not be long in forming were 1t not for
the rivalry of Irish leaders
Mr.. Redmond suggests a small commit
tee which shall be representative OF all
shades of nationalist opinion. Mr. Dill
lon, on the other hand favors large
meeting of members of the Irish nation
alist parties while Mr. Healy is holding
off and his present opinion is not availa-
BILE. A statement is often made that if
the Irish party had left Gladstone when
he did not dissolve Parliament on the re-
lection of the home rule bill of 1893, they
than they are now.
1t was only Gladstone's personality
that held together such unsympathizing
elements as Irishmen. Scottish radicals
and English liberals. These elements are
now apart and the Irish cause, not hav-
ing learned to stand alone scarcely
stands at all. Yet, acting Independently,
the prospects of an Irish party would not
be especially bright at present. They
might. however. wait for revival of po-
litical interest in England and when lib
erals and tories should become moro
evenly divided obtain their desires by
holding a balance of power.

RICH AND RARE ORE
FOUND IN WYOMING

Denver Dec. 20.--Much interest is man.
ifested in mining circles over the dis
covery in Wyoming of a large body of
cinnabar. an ore from which quicksilver
is extracted.
The discovery was made by Denver
Woodhave, of this city. He descr.b1s 5 the
place of his discovery as being about
eighty miles northwest of Laramie. Col.
A few friends have staked claims there
in addition to the three that he has S.
cured, which are recorded in the office
of the clerk of Laramie County.
The ore outcrops on the mountain side,
and extends down the slope for consider
able distance. He has opened the vein to
depth of ten feet, and over this d.s-
tance the width of the ore is about four
and one-haf feet. he says that samples
assay about 80 per cent, making the stuff
exceedingly valuable.
Mr.. Woodhave is son of J. P. Wood
have, well-known Colorado mining ex-
pert Pilgrimages have taken him
through Colorado, New Mexico. Utah and
Wyoming frequently. and all the while
he has had his best eye open for such
rare ores cinnabar. cobalt and ura-
MUM, mine of any of which would be
greater bonanza than a gold vein of the
average Colorado width.
He expects TO return to the property
very soon and pursue its development not
even waiting for the snow which lies
thickly in that vicinity, TO disappear.
There are no known developed cinna-
bar mines in Colorado nor on the ranges
Of the Rocky Mountains from British Co.
lumbia TO Mexico. The only mine that is
producing it in the United States is in
California. So rare is the ore that there
Is no current quotation upon ii among
buyers, and the only way value on the
output of mine can be determined is
through estimates based on the fact that
quicksilver is worth in the market so to
20 cents per pound wholesale
When the discovery of Mr.. Woodhave
vas mentioned to a member of the Bur-
lingame assaying firm he stated that if
the ore reported as having been found in
Wyoming ran only 2 per cent in uuicksiI-
yer 1t would be a bonanza. Cinnabar he
stated, usually returns 8 or per cent
quicksilver.
The assayer admitted. however, that if
a vein of the genuine stuff has been found
in Wyoming, its value is immense. for
the reason that the process of extraction
is cheap and simple, and that there is a
constant demand for it from the local
smelters and gold reduction works.

The game was played by four young men, two

removed. The game did not last very long: in
