Arthur Hugh Ciough.

Where lies the land to which the ship would
go?
Far, far ahead is all her seamen know.
And where the land she travels from? Away,
Far, far behind, is all that they can say,
On sunny moons, upon the decks smooth face
Linked arm in arm, how pleasant here to pace
Or o er the stern reclining, watch below
The foaming wake, far widening as we got
On stormy nights, when wild northwesters
rave,
How proud thing to fight with wind and wave
The dripping sailor on the reeling mast
EXults to bear, and scorns to wish it past.
Where lies the land 10 which the ship would
go
Far far ahead, is all her seamen know.
And where the land she travels from Away,

A correspondent. writing to the New

mills on the Danube are perhaps its
most curious feature. Fancy two canal
boats moored parallel to each other,
in mid-river, about fifteen or twenty feet
apart and supporting between them the
crank of gigantic mill wheel turned by
the current Of the stream. Fancy, more
over, the sides Of one of these boats car
ried up one.story higher than those of the
other. the rooted over, q Ia Noah's Ark,
with doors ard windows as needed-and
you have fair idea Of these Danube
grain mills, some four or five thousand of
which, in groups of ten or dozen to-
gether, are scattered along the watery
highway, all the way down from Vienna
to Belgrade. Each mill is inscribed with
its owners name. As the steamer goes
shooting by these mills, so close that the
slow ''crack, crack" Of the *mill-wheel is
distinctly audible, it is amusing to note
the inmates looking for all the world like
Humpty Dumpty in the play. rushing to
their doors or windows to wave salute
and have look at the passengers.

One feature of the work of getting the
effects under cover was novel and inter-
esting. Some of the chariots are very
heavy, weighing several tons, and were
sunk deeply in the soil. Too many
horses to be used conveniently would
have been required, and accordingly the
elephant trainer brought two of the six
teen elephants of the herd into requisi-
ton. It was interesting to see how
intelligently the beasts did what was
required of them, and observe their ire
mendous strength. Turning their trunks
around the hubs of the spokes, they lifted
the vehicles out of the ruts, and after
carrying them into the building, shifted
them into any position desired. One of
the chariots, which they picked up with
ease, weighed five tons. 1t was not
always easy for them to take hold of
their load so that it balanced well be-
tween them, but they invariably sue
ceeded after a while in getting every
thing adjusted. --[New Haven Palladium.
