Quid Pro Quo.

The people of the United States
appear to want the Nicaragua
Canal constructed. Let us agree,
as a nation, to build the canal.
At the same time, let us unite in
demanding the passage of such
measure as will provide an Ameri-
can merchant marine against the
time that the canal shall be OPEN
ed for trade, so that the trade
that IS created by the construct
ion of that canal shall be carried
in American ships. Let the peo-
pie unite in deciding: ''We want
an American canal equal in capac-
ity, in tonnage, and in shipping,
all American, to what the Suez is
for Great Britain" Of all the
ships that used the Suez, Great
Britain s are far in the lead-so
far in the lead that, with the ships
of all other countries inlOne group
and those of Great Britain under
the other, the latter would be the
more numerous, of the la1ger
tonnage. Let us put an end to
the disgrace of having it recorded,
year after year, that one or two,
or perhaps none at all, of our
ships went through the Suez
Canal, when thousands upon
thousands of Britain, and Of other
nationalities, pass through il every
year, laden with commerce to and
from the Ind1es-let us end the
disgrace of such a condition by
duplicating in the American
Nicaragua Canal a feet of ships
as large, as powerful, carrying a
commerce as great, and all Amer
lean, the ships, the men, and the
commerce. We can do 1t!
The people want the canal, and
they also want American ships
pioneers of trade. carriers Of
merchandise. Let us have "the
trade following the American
flag" and let us have that flag
float over none but home built
ships. There is nothing to pre-
vent us from building our own
ships, for our own foreign trade,
except Congressional Indifference
or short-sighted opposition. Let
us have an American. marine and
American canal Selected.

the Pope's reply avoided any such explicit ref
erence to the matter as that which charac-
terized the New Years address to the members
Of the Sacred College.
on this occasion the document read by Mon
signor MiSciatelli a sermon, or hOmly full
of cxhorations to piety, to fervont faith and TO
being worthy of the privilege Of belonging to the
Holy Catholic Church. Continuing, the Pope
besought his hearers to beware OF the dangers
connected with the exercise Of "indocile rea-
SON." which could only lead to doubt and in
ing base appetites to rule the mind. These two
dangers. present in every soul rendered it espe-
caly necessary to heed the words of the ApoS-
tie. Watch and be faithful"
The sermon over, the Pope rose and pro-
nounced the Apostolic benediction in a loud
voice. after which all those present al
lowed in turn to kiss his hand. This ceremony
Of receiving the Roman nobility is extremely
ancient, though ii has undergone several
notifications within the last century and
half. Before 1870 the only families admitted
to this audience were the families belonging
to the so-called PatriZiato Romano or the sixty
"COnscript Families" and those enumerated in
the Golden Book OF Rome. The "COnscript
Families" those which during the reign OF
Benedict XIV Q74S-'J0 had belonged for two
hundred years to Roman nobility. and had for
that sphere OF time possessed a fixed residence
been strictly observed and a number of other
families have found means to Introduce them
selves into the reception at the Cappella Sis

to establish coffee-houses and clubs Tor men
where clean, well-prepared meals VIII be served
at a low rate, and where the patrons may nave
all the comforts Of the saloon, but no intoXlcat-
ing liquor.
One Of the recent enterprises Of the Womens
Auxiliary Is the coachmen's coffee-van, neat
one-horse wagon from which hot coiiee Is
served to men who would in many instances
patronize the saloon. The van Is sent to places
where there are social gatherings and where
coachmen are kept for hours waiting IN the
street. At first the vans were sent by the so
ciety and the coachmen bought their coffee ana
cakes or whatever they chose to eat, but TINS
season it has become a popular practice Tor the
hostess to write to one OF the officers or the
Women's Auxiliary and order as many coftee-
van tickets as she expects carriages, and to
state the hour when she wishes the van TO ar
rive. The tickets cost 10 cents each, and are
good for cup of coffee and sandwich.
In the circular which has been issued the
managers Of this department say:
We only expect to cover expenses, and to this
end propose to sell 10-cent tickets which will en-
title the holder to a cup Of hot coffee and
sandwich. We hope this may commend itself

Tea ON the Terrace.

On the whole, the terrace of the
House of Commons is the finest in Eng
land. The view from tits most impos-
ing. Near on the left is Westminster
bridge, and the spectator may watch
the traffic of the bridge, and hear it's
roll or rumble, while he is in the quiet
ude of the terrace. Between the broad
arches he may perceive the graceful
outlines Of Waterloo bridge. At night
the long rows of lighted lamps in all
directions are reflected on the river.
This is the spot where the tea parties
well known in London society are held.
To have ''tea on the terrace" as the
phrase goes, is the natural ambition of
every one. 1t is Of the utmost convent
ence to the member to be able to show
this attention to his friends, and espe-
cially to his constituents and their fam
lilies. On summers afternoon the
collection Of these tea parties amounts
to reception given by the Commons
to London and the constituencies. The
mixture Of tea tables is typical Of the
local character. Here will be table
with some of the most fashionable per-
sons; near it will be one where a labor
member is entertaining his family;
next will be one where philosophic
member is receiving learned ladies.
The whole scene is one of diversified
animation and vivacity seldom equaled
elsewhere.

A Divided Answer.

The country mind sometimes works
slowly, although with an enviable
weight and accuracy, but the country
mode of expression is usually to the
point Even it's pauses serve their
turn; they are always of rhetorical
value.
An old fisherman sat by the sea-wall,
skinning eels, which were that fore
noon to be packed in ice and sent to a
city market. A young woman, visitor
in town, stood by watching the unusual
occupation, and quite fascinated by the
ease and dexterity with which it was
carried on. At length size felt the neces-
Sity of making talk"
What do you get for eels?" she ask
ed.
"Nothin'" returned the old man, en-
phatically, stripping off skin. Then
with the same precision and lightning:
like haste, he peeled" another and an
other, leaving his visitor to wonder at
the eccentricity which prompted him
to take SO much trouble unrewarded.

question as bad job that he calmly;

Good Reason.

Storekeepers at times resort to in
genious methods to attract trade. The
following is said to be an exact copy
of placard displayed in front of a
store in a Southern town:
'step inside and get the greatest bar
gains you'll ever get again.
Here is an announcement posted by
a Russian shopkeeper in front of his
place of business:
1.-THE reason why l have hitherto
been able to sell my goods so much
cheaper than anybody else is that I

tage will shortly be withdrawn from

AUF ENDORSEMENT

The little gate was reached at last
Halt hid in lilacs down the lane:
She pushed it wide, and. as she passed
A wistful look she backward cast.
And said, .Auf wiedersehen!'
With hand on latch, vision white
fingered reluctant, and again
Half doubling if she did Alright,
Soft as the dews that fell that night
She said, "Auf wiedersehen!"
The lamps clear CLEAN fits up the stair;
| linger in delicious pain;
Ah in that chamber, whose rich air
To breathe in thought scarcely dare,
Thinks she. 'Auf wiedersehen."
'Tis thirteen years; once more press
The turf that silences the lane;
hear the rustic of her dress,
/ smell the lilacs, and-ah, yes,
hear, "Auf wiederschen!'
Sweet piece of bashful maiden art!
The English words had seemed too fain
But these-they drew us heart to heart,
Yet held us tenderly apart;
She said, "Auf wiedersehen!"
