Seeds of Seven Year plague.

"Many homes have hidden away in
their hooks and closets numberless
odds and ends that are never of the
least use to their possessors, but are
the source of moths, reaches, accum-
lated dust, and even disease; for
am persuaded that, as perfect clean
illness promotes health, just so does
such unnecessary accumulation pro-
duce dirt and disease. Then. too,
the habit becomes q perfect fad or
craze, and nothing is consigned TO
the waste basket or flames, for 'Oh,
we lay need it some dayl' or, Put
1t in the old trunk up stairs; maybe
/ shall want it, We hear from the one
who is smitten with this saving fever.
So this goes on until antiquated gar
ments, dilapidated shoes, and many
other veteran accessories of the
ho-ae are stored away in every cor
ner OF the house, and every private
apartment has the appearance of
having been stuffed, and q bad job at
that.
How much more attractive is q
room where we see no relics of
Noah's family tucked away in the
corners, where everything bears
closest scrutiny, and air and light
find their way everywhere. Let Us
do away with so much keeping of
old things, either from a mistaken
sense of saving, or on account of
the memories that linger there like
scent of lavender leaves.
NO, do not say forget the past,
with its fright of sacred Tenderness;
but can we not keep these enshrined
in our hearts without the aid of old
linen, leather o. furniture? Let the
memory of the dear old, days pos
sess a niche in the affections inde-
pendently, and burn the rubbish,
leaving room for necessary articles,
or for-space. ."-Kathrine Nulely, in

Railway Notes.

The new grade Of the Great Northern

about Is miles in length. 1t will take
two months to complete it ready for
traffic.
The Great Northern will inaugurate
its new short line service between the
Twin Cities and Duluth. beginning on
Sunday. Trains will be run via the
Brook Park cutoff, which has Just been
completed.
James ]. Hill. of the Great North
ern, is reported to be interested in the
syndicate which recently purchased
100000 acres of timber land from the
Northern Pacific.
Already the snow plows have been
brought into service on the North Pa
ciflc transcontinental lines, and travel
has been interrupted to a limited ex-
tent. However, the roads nearly all are
agreed that they do not expect much
trouble from blockades this winter.
Workmen on the line of the Wash
ington Central have been laid of and
all work has been suspended by the
Northern Pacific, which Is regarded as
almost conclusive that an arrange
ment has been made with the Great
Northern to operate this line In ex-
change for track privileges accorded
the Northern Pacific, but the terms of
the arrangement are withheld until ne
gotiations are fully completed.

Manila, Nov. l4.-General Young is
supposed to have reached San Nicholas,
about 30 miles east of Dagupan, but his
wagons are far behind.
Colonel Hays has captured Aguinaldos s
secretary and Major Coleman is in Car
raglan with an escort OF l75 Bolomen on
his way TO the province of Nueva Visaya.
"A son of General Llarneas and his
family are prisoners. The general barely
escaped.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press with General Young telegraphs
from San Jose that Aguinaldo did not
escape to the northwest.
He and his army, the correspondent
adds, are surrounded.
HIS last orders to the Filipino COM
mander at San Jose were to hold San
Jose and Caragian at all costs.
The recent encounters were too one
sided to be called fighting. The insur-
gents are mortally afraid of the Ameri.
cans. However strong their position,
they make but brief and feeble resist
yell reaches their ears, whereupon the
Americans pursue and slay them. The
moral effect of the news that $4,000
troops are on their way here has been un.
questionably great.
The insurgents are suffering more from
disease than from Americans, owing 10
poor food, lack of medicines and a filthy
hospital, with the result that there is
great mortality among them.

gram from an insurgent captain to Fill.

New York, Nov. l3.-Representatives
of the mission societies Of the Congrega-
tional, Methodist Episcopal, Reformed,
Baptist and Presbyterian churches met in
this city to consider the recent action Of
the japanese government which prohib-
its religious teaching in the schools of
Japan. Secretary Cobb Of the Reformed
church presided.
1t was stated at the meeting that the
japanese government must either recede
from its position or the missionary boards
Of America and Europe must abandon
their educational work in that country.
Action was taken especially in behalf Of
those private schools in japan which are
dependent upon governmental support for
their success. The belief was expressed
that when the japanese government is pc
titioned by all the missionary societies in
the Union the schools founded on private
funds will be permitted to conduct relig-
ious ceremonies.
The present condition was pronounced
by all as critical.
