A  VISION  OF  THE  CENTURY.
The ta.ler dreima; with reatleaa, burdened
keart Still hopee and  dreams—hia ragged  face
and brow Turned   to   the   ccnturT   that   trembling
waita. Trembling   yet   purpoaeful,   reetive   and
etrong Sbe waite;  how large and strenuous her
part If atep b)' step she walks with labor now AxA with her virgin hand unbars the gates Behind which poverty has lain so long.
So  dreams  the  toiler,   a'ooes  her as  his
bride- She shrinking yet, but queenly; will she
yield To   this   grira   pleader   from   the   people
tpning? (Oib true to race and ancient heritage. Wed the soft-handed auitor at her side?) He waits her answer; toiling in tho field He waits—or a-here, tbe tired nerves wrung By factories' din, worn youth is turned to
»g«
Aad lifting weary eyes from day to day He dreams that even now ttie word ia said; Grim labor walks with love for evermore; Dark brows are crowned that were in dust
bowed loTf; While they who have gone far along the
way With the old century, see the star^'ing fed. And for the prisoned ones an open door Tbat leads into tbe sunlight's happy glow.
Thus tensely listening, his face grown pale With visions whiter than the prophet« saw. Amid the din he hears a wondrous cry. "At last!   oh.  Lord!"   that  drowns  "Oh,
Lord! bow lotig.?" Ah, blissful dreamerlif before the veil Hns fallen—labor and love and law Shall lead a multitude that, pausing bv, Onehearted lifts to heaven n mighty song. —Harper's Weekly.

ELL, Helenette," I said to my pretty bousekecp- ".vou   came  to   me Just  five yeaio ago to¬ day."
"Yes," Bhc asBentetl, srarcply look¬ ing np from her breakfast dishes; sbe wag a modest and iinnssuiulug womnn.
"During these busy yenrs I have pnkl every dollar of tbo II.1000 I agi-eed to, and tbe farm Is now mine.'
She Rmlleil demurely upon me, but luaije no comment, go I pontlnued:
"You have been a participant In all the details of my domestic life."
"Certainly, Mr. Bollnghroke." Ami she turned a curious gaie ou me for tlie Orst time.
I may as well be plain aud say nt once tbat in the vernacular of the shire where I lived, I was an odd stick. However, I had gooil habits, a good farm, and friends sufflcleut.
"I would like lo take a walk over the farm, and be accompanied by yon, oth¬ er matters not Interfering," 1 said.
"Other mutters will not Interfere," she responded iu ber unobtrusive man¬ ner.
We were soon on the way, and I commented on all we sav.
"Five hundred acres; KillOO. A thou¬ sand dollars for every 100 acres; aud. Helenette, the place Is mine!"
"You have done reninikably well In BO short a seasou. You deserve much praise."
"There on my led ilie everlnsllni; hills arise, ihelr HUiiiiiilts densely cov. ered wllb <iak. spruce, pine, and trees of lesser quallly."
"Yes, Ibe timber alone Is worth $2000."
"Xo doubt. Tben there is the lux¬ uriant meadow, the fertile fields, the rowen-patch, a pasture suljlclcnt for a large herd of lallle, a goodly flock of sheep, n doicii liorses, nud two liciiu- llfnl brooks croFs iiud recross my fleld.s. .Suicly there seems to be nothing luck¬ ing."
I tried to take note of her expression as I ended Ibe last sentence; but her couutenance did uot change. She seemed to be gazing off over the far away hills. She said very iHTtlnently. however;
".\ud theri. Is Uie sugar orchard. That ought to uet you $300 per year "
"It will."
I could uot help noticing bow very practical she was iu her observations.
"Your buildings are lu good repair; your farm is well stocked, you enjoy the best of health," went on Helenette. "Your earthly lot Ih enviable. May your prosperity ever continue!"
I looked at her Intently. But thnt sweet fnce betrayed uo emotion.
"You think Ihe picture is complete?" I said.
"Yes.  fInanclHlly."
"But money Is not everj'thlng. There Is one lack. The cnrtbly picture cannot Iv complete to me without it. Can you guess what It Is?"
".Vo."
"I want a wife!"
We both paUKcil ilion. but her coun- tcannie did nut dinnge.
"A wife? " she said In ii iiiatt'T of fact ninnner.
••Yes."
•You seem  III III
"Gammon! She thinks of notbin; but  ber work."
"Go back and find out if I'm not right. Why. yuu ought to marry her She's helped to buy the farm."
My neighbor drove on. leaving me tc ponder over his words. I remembereO the look on Helenette's face as I drovt
away.     What  If  It should  be	
"Hello: Can you toll mc bow fur il Is to Gordon Bollngbroke's'/"
I looked up to sei- a gentlemanly looking person standing iu tbe road. "Why do .vou wish to know?" "I want to see his housekeeper. Hel¬ enette Kathburne. Having decided to take a wife, I Intend to make her a pro posal."
I was duiufouuiled for a minute; tben I said curtly:
"Gordon Hollngliroke's farm Is Just one mile from here. Take the first rond thnt leads lo Ibe right. Good- day, sir."
I touched my horse testily with the whip,   the   result   l>eiug   thnt   I   fonud myself in the ditch, my tie out of gear, my wntHi cbnin broken.    Kor awlillo I    knew    noi blag.    Then    somebody sweetly asked: ".Vre yon feeling belter. Gordon?" It was tbe voice of Helenette. "Better?    What's tho trouble?' "Don't you remember being thrown fioin your tenin a week ago?"
"Oh, yes, I rciiieuiber; but that was only  a   few  minutes sluce."
"You   have   lain   here   uearly   seveu days." ".\nd where nm I. pray?" "In your own house, iu bed." "In bed?    What for?    I'm going to get up."
"Gordon, listen. You nre not your¬ self. You received a liail concussion of the brain aud have at lliiies been violent. I had to have some oue to take cnre of you."
I rnlsed myself in bed; beside me sat the man I hnd met on the rond. "What!    You here'/" I exclaimed. "Yes, begging your pardon, Jlr. Bob Ingbroke.    If  I  were not  you  might uow be 11 dend mnn."
It all began gradually to come back to me.
"I see you found my bousekeoper," I said Miguiflcantly. "Oh, yes."
".Vud have you proposed mnrrlnge to ber?" ¦¦
"No—1 couldn't do that." "Why?" ,.    ...
"Slie Is my sister—I told you I bad n proposnl to make. So I had. But It wasn't what you thought."
I stnred first at one and then at tbe other. Helenette wns smiling, but looked nt me earnestl.y. "What mystery l.s this?" I exclaimed. "-Vo mystery nt all. My sister nnd I left our poor home some five yenrs since to seek our fortunes, she going lu one direction nnd I in another, tbe iLgreemeut being that ucitlu'r ot us hIiouIiI wed uutil success crownod our efforts. Well. I am established in business, aud cnme to ask her to help me get my house ready for my future wife." ''1.1.' •>
"I nm glad Miss Rnlhburnc I: sister."
"So nm I. When you marry sbe will come to live with mc. That also was ill tlie ngiement."
"Never! I've been a fool. Helenette. will you have lue? It's you I've wanted nil nlons. only   1 didn't know it."
Helenette made some demur, but finally promised to remain on the farm as its mistress. And if any one wants to see tbe happiest pair in the world let bim call at Gordon Boliugbroke" - Wavciley  Magazine.

"1 thank you. Helenette. Your nd vice has alwayn liivii good. I shall consider it carefully."
Ky this time we hnd nlurneil in llie house, and as she wnlked lu. leaviug me ouislde. I thought. "Wbin I take my new wife. Helenette will lie Ihe bi'st   help   for   liiiliiors   I   can   .¦.ecure."

A foreign corresiioudent bas found out why the Czar of Itussla wears a full Iieard. It is uot because he has n big mole nu bis check, nor Is It to lliile a receding chiu.
Tile fact is that the Czar is afraid tu have himself shaved. He fears tbnt be might get Into u Nihilist bnrbcr's chair some morning, and—swlck! The rest may be Imagined.

Washiiigtru dispatches came by round- nhont courses; some via Chicago and some througli I'lttshurg.
Tbe gale was southeast and was the lieavlcst blow of the winter from that point, acquiring at one time a gale in the city uf sixty-eight miles. Tbere hasn't beeu a storm iu man.T yenrs covering so large a territory, prnctl¬ cnlly two-thirds of the country.
It wns one of the most erratic storms ou record. It originated In the Pa¬ ciflc. cnme inshore nf Oregon nud went cnvortlng dowu to Texas.

Chkago.—Chicago was the centre of a general storm area which covered' nliuost the entire couutiy. The barom¬ etric pressure was less than nny pre¬ vious record, and rain fell almost from the Atlantic to the Paciflc coast.

New Vork City. William .Mniconl. llie yuuiig iuvenlor. who in Decemlier sinriled the world by nuiioiiuclng that he bad succeeded In transmiltiiig piv- aiTanged signals by means of wire¬ less telegraph across Ihe Atlantic, ar¬ rived on tbe .Vmerican liner Phlladel phin. He made another siatemeui lu regard to ii^sults achieved uu the way over by the wireless system, little less remarkaldc than Ibe achievement he announced from New- loundlnnd lu tho Winter. lu New foundlnnd Marconi had lo receive the sound of the signal " S " through a telepliune receiver. Init on nrrlvlug he exhibited slips uf paper un which the receiving apparatus record'd the messages, which up to a disiaiice of luol miles were actual messages, aud after that aud up fo -Jiili!) miles, the signal letter " S.'" Kacli of the pir«is of tape bore the slgunlures of I'np- taiu A. U. .Mills and Chief OlHcer Marsdeu uf the I'hlladelpliia. lu whose preseuce the particular mes sages were received.
.Vt the Hoffman House .Marconi was asked mauy questions. l>f what had been done during the vuyiige ncross ou the Philadelphia  he said:
"If merely louflrms what I have previously doue iu Newfoumiland. There Is no longer any iiuestluu about the ability of the AViieless telegrnph to transmit messages across the At¬ lantic. A» to dlstanw over which mes¬ sages cau be sent. I will say that It is a matter tbat depends solely on the strength of tbe apparatus use<l.
•"Vou have askeii me why I did not i"ei>ly to tile messages from (joriiwall. That is very easily answered. The III; struiuent on the Pblladclpbia was nut constructed for loug distances. As for the curvatures of the earth af¬ fecting the curents. as tbe cable peo¬ ple thought It would, that has la-eu proved untrue. That objection on Ihelr part, though, I think, was rather nu Imaginary, than a real one. The wish was probnbly fnther to the Ihought.''
When asked wbal be tbought Ihe speed of the wireless curreut wns, Marconi  replied;
"I bnve made no calculation ns to llial, but assume it travels nt the same .speed tbe light does—that Is. nl \i rnte of nbout 180.000 miles a second."
As to secrecy lu the sending ot mes- ¦inges nnd the iwsslblllty of other ships ;iud stntions intercepting messnges, Marconi said there were many vessels now equipped with tbe nppnrntus ou the Atlantic, nnd that if his tuning process was unsuccessful, why had Ihey not Intercepted some of the mes- »iigi>s tbat were flashed lo him from ruldliu.    He coutinued:
"You haven't heard any of tbein re¬ port catching any of tbem, have you? We were In pretty close proximity to Ihe outgoing Cunarder to-day, and she did not affect us, and If she did not, why should nny of the rest do so? There are some ii."iO tunes, nnd to in¬ tercept you would have to guess whicli one 1 was using. And since I have the [holie of so many, the guess would be a rather diffliull one."
The Inventor will go to Ottawa, and nfler a short stay lu tbe interesi uf his invention will return to New York City, sailing soon afterward fur F.ng land, as he did on Ihe voyage thai hns lust ended, utilizing his time nt sen pxperlmentlng with his apparatus.

The comnils. slon consisted of .losepli F. Daly, ol New York; L. S. Howe, uf Pennsylva nla. aud .Tuan llernaudez Iaiih-i. ol Porto Hlco. The work undertaken was the revision aud compilation of practi eally all the old Spanish laws.
The cominissiou. after an exhaustive study of the Spanish systeiu, proctvd f»l fo make the most necessary changes. Aucb ns the reorganization of the JudI Ckil system and the s.TStein of local goveruinent. tbe revision of the law of marriage nnd divorce aud wills and intestacies, aud a numlier of other im¬ portant branches of the civil aud crim lual law. The most Important work of tbe commission waa the revision of the organic act of Porto Klco, commonly tuown as the Fomker act.
The system of local governinent pro¬ posed b.v tbe commission Includes a county, city and village organlxaflou. I'lider Spanish rule the Island was di¬ vided Into sixty-seven divisions kuowji as "munlclplos," which were subjected to the sfrlcfesf form of control by the central governinent. The mayors were appointed by tbe Governor-General, nnd the uiembers of the town council were subject to his will In fact. If uot In law. Local self-governmenl was un¬ known.
The committee has taken a long step In the direction of local autonomy, but has giveu siiOicleut power to the insu¬ lar government to guard agnlust the dangers of local Inexperience ur iucom- petence. Briefly stated, the system leaves the local authorities the lunu- ngemenf of local nlTalrs, buf prescribes a deflnlfe standard of efflclency iu the most important services, such as saul- tntlon, drainage, water supply, street cleaning, etc. If the local government fall fo meet these standards, the Insu¬ lar government has sufficient power to meet every emergency.
The habeas corpus act la another of the Imporfanf cliauges proposed by the comuimlssloii. The subject of mar¬ riage and divorce also Is fully treated.

The Executive Committee of the Good Roads Conveation. follonlui; the hearing by the I.,eglslatun>'s commit¬ tee, discussed three tiuporlam ques¬ tions upon which leglslatiou is cx|>ect- ed this yoar: Wide fires, the general adoption of the mnuey system and the proposition to boud Ihc State for $20,. 000,000 for go<Kl roads. Hills Were In trodoced to carry out the flrst and sec¬ ond of these pro|u>s1ilons. It bas been decMnl not fo intrmluce a lilll to bond tSe Stnte for $"20,000,000 for good rtiMs this year, as the Canal-Bonding bill has the right of way. The plan de- elded upon Is to propose an ninenil- ment to the Constitution which will permit the State to si>en.l $20,000,000 on highway improvements. A concur¬ rent resolution to that end will bo Id- trcjuced very soon, which. If It passes the present Legislature will have to be passed ugain by tbe uext Legislature, after which It can bo DUbmlfted to the people In the fall ot IfKIS. This will mean a delay of two years, but the members of the Elxecntlve Connplftee consider this Is the I)e8t fbhig to be done under the circumstances. In the  enDtime road Improvement can be carried on with such appropriations as the Legislature will make.
