hold.
In England it is the dowager and mature
matron who is autocrat Of everything. It
is said i'll legendary way that the Briton
rules his house; but that is as true as other
legends, and no more then they. The will
Of the intelligent wife is absolute law, ana
her advice is held as real wisdom and her
suggestions are held as real wisdom quite
beyond the belief of an American, who
speaks contemptuoHsly Of the "old woman"
or the "meddling old girl" and yet the ad-
vanced matren of the mother country is far
less youthful in her thought, manner,
pleasures and appearance, than the Ameri-
can lady who is the same age, the same
freedom from importuning cares and the
same exemption from sorrow. The tran
qualities that come to the American are in
consequence of ripening process rather
than decaying one. The composure Of
the average English woman it is not
hypercritical to mention as refined quality
of stupidity, or perhaps, to be more just
and courteous, of torpidity. The furniture
of her mind becomes cumbersome, if not
immovable, with age; therefore, she cannot
be stirred to social Innovations, and in her
hand lies the balance of power. In fact,
the English woman, by nature and habit, is
meditative rather than contemplative, which
makes the old easier and more agreeable to
her than the new; hence. to the average
feminine authority novel amusement, if
considered at all, is carefully examined and
if it be approved it is ADDED to those pleas
ures that lave already been consecrated,
but it must not displace or even modify
them. = G,odernize is to vulgarize" is
what the English authorities teach their
followers, and nobody wishes to be men,
toned as doing just that, even though in
the secret places of thought he may desire
to. It may be admitted that to be uncon-
ventional, even in a few things, would be
bliss immeasurable to q visitor.

Lights that Ride the Waves In Violent
Gales and Tossing Waters.
From the Providence journal.


The illuminated buoy is wonderful in
vention. Imagine an enormous lamp riding
the waves. The buoy is compact wrought
iron vessel, which serves as a receiver of
compressed gas. The duration of the
flame depends upon the size of the buoy.
Some in use in Europe have been made to
burn thirty days and some enc hundred and
twenty days. 1t is said that buoy of suf-
fcient size will contain gas enough to fur
nish the light for one year. During that
time the flame is steady and constant night
and day, requiring no attention whatever
after once put in operation. the lantern
attached to the buoy admits air enough to
feed the fame, but not particle of water
can enter.
The most violent gales, the greatest force
of the waves, submerging even beneath
them. has no effect upon this light. 1t
burns with undimmed brightness as long
as gas is in its reservoir. The light, it is
said, can be thrown six or seven miles in
clear weather. Salty deposits are not made
on the glass Of the lanterns, as has been
demonstrated. The reflling of the buoy at
certain intervals is performed by tender
and requires but few minutes time. It
is done by passing the gas from a store
holder, which contains the gas compressed
to ten atmospheres, by means of flexible
tube into the buoy to pressure of six at
mospheres.

For her sake / often have waged;
And now from her lips discover
That she-ohl that she is engaged
One season we led in the German,

Whole minutes I've dallied before her.

Her wee foot moment have Gagged,

Enough now she-now she's engaged
Does she ever live over, wonder,
The night that we sat in the cove,
One shawl wrapped about us, while thunder
And windsterms and hail ragged sboyeY
How, trembling, she hid her white face on
My shoulder, and how assuaged
Her fears by the story Of Jason
Does she think of all that when engaged2
On my walls hang her many mementoes;
That cathedral she sketched me in Rome;
1t was after my camp-life she sent those
Silk slippers to welcome me home;
I've the letters she wrote me- at college,
In book all sorted and PACED
How delightful to read with the knowledge
That now she-yes, now she's engaged.
I am going to call there tomorrow,
In her joy she will greet her old friend
Without even the shadow of sorrow
That the frier dship has come to an end;
And close in my arms Twill fold her,
No matter for papa enraged;
Shall his wrath from me longer withhold her,

Sandwich islanders in Swimming.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our guide had arranged for an exhibition
OF the swimming powers of the natives. and
upon our arrival we found several men on
the side of the fall where we took our stand,
while upon the other stood six or seven
dusky maidens. The water tumbles over
series of natural bridges commencing high
up In the mountain range. The main fall
is sheet about twenty yards wide, and
with other smaller streams falls into cir
cirlar basin beneath at the debth
Of at least 100 feet. A series of
rude declivities have been cut
by the natives to depth of sixty or seven
ty feet, to enable visitors to witness their
watery gambols. Our party wes perfectly
astonished at the way in which
these Kanakas disported themselves in
the water. Divested of all clothing, both
men and women would dive into the basin
or pool to depth of thirty or forty feet.
A coin thrown into water would be brought
up with the greatest rapidity. Some of
the girls took up position on rock
which. to judge by eye measurement, was
at least sixty feet high, and jumped into
the basin with their bodies in rigid posi-
ton. Others again assembled to the top of
the fall and came down with the water In
its descent. No small wonder. indeed,
that the Ksnakas are able to conquer the
sharks, which they do by getting under
their belly and ripping it open.

Webster,s Love for the Old Home.

Among the various "reminiscences of Dam
lei Webster, suggested by the centenary
of his birth, Jan. IS, is the following ex-
tract from Daniel Webster's speech at Sar-
atoga the following reference to the home
OF his infancy, which has been pronounced
as beautiful specimen of language as has
been written in the English tongue:
u love to dwell on the tender recollec-
tons. the kindred ties. the early affections
and the touching narratives and incidents
which mingle with all know of this prim-
tive family abode. I weep to think that
none OF those who inhabited it are now
among the living; and if ever I am ashamed
OF it, or if ever fail in affectionate vener-
alton for him who reared it, and defended
1t against savage violence and destruction,
cherished all the domestic virtues beneath
its roof, and through the fire and blood of a
seven years revolutionary war, shrunk from
no danger. no toll, no sacrifice, to serve his
country, and to raise children to condition
better than his own, may my name and the
name OF my posterity be blotted forever
from the memory of mankind!"

TIE SOLO.


I gaze on the blazoned windows,
The columns ashy and cold,
The fretted groinings and arches,
The ceiling Of azure and gold.
The organ shudders and mutters
Like q monster dying in pain
The chorus has walled its parting,
Lamenting, and repenting in vain.
Then out of the sadness rises
An angel whose wings are furled:
You lift your voice In the solo,
And I fly from stricken world.
/ traverse the shining oceans
Where melody rims the skies,
And I pass the islands of glory,
And the headlands of Paradise.
You bear me, I care not whittier,
So long as I hear you sing,
For toll and grief are forgotten,
And life is q heavenly thing.
The music ends, and SILVER,
Fol my soul has returned to earth,
And the silence falls like sorrow
Which blanches the face Of mirth.

from the new 4OrK sun.
We are now, as nation, out of bebt, we
are owners of our productive machinery,
and our surplus earnings are nearly if not
quite enough to meet all the demands for
additions to it. We pay in taxes to the
general government hundred millions Of
dollars year more than the government
returns us to in its expenditures; we are
building, mostly out of our own resources,
new railroads by the thousands Of miles;
the new buildings put up in New York city
alone during the past year absorbed nearly
fifty millions of dollars, and similar
building activity has prevailed more or less
all over; the deposits in our savings banks
increase by tens il not hundreds Of millions
annually; the western farmers, who used to
pay ten per cent. per annum for money on
bond and mortgage, are now either out Of
debt altogether. or borrow of their neigh
bors at six per cent; and 80 abundant has
capital become that lenders, as rule,
are content with five per cent. for long
loans on good security where they used to
get seven, and four per cent. where they
used to get SIX.
