The Awful Hyde Park Sweiis.
Eli Perkins London Letter.


 London is very cold to m American. Its latitude is about the same as Hud- soo's bay. You wear your heavy woolens all summer in London. We were told no, to be surprised when ve went to the park to sec the people wearing furs even in July. We did see young ladies dressed in muslin with seal skin jackets over them. My wife said all of the white dresses were heavily lined, and some ei them wadded. This in July.
 The swell time to ride on horseback m Rotten TOW is from |, to :. and the fash ionable drive is from , ,o7. The car riages are not so well equipped and the horses are not SO fine as ln Central park At I o'clock there were perhaps seventy five ladies riding on horseback. They ride stifily up and down Rotten Row Ca drive of mile along one side of the park. The sidewalks were lined with spectators, who paid cents for seats. l, was nothing but free circus. It was a human peacock drill. The ladies wosld canter their horses up the road about fifty rods and then return and stand and talk with acquaintances standing or prone nading on the sidewalks. The walks ou each side of Rotten row were filled with ladies and gentlemen in good clothes. asked an old habitue of London who these people were.
 "Oh, everybody-clerks, salesmen, squires from the country, brewers daugh- ters and titled nobility. Formerly T con- tinued my friend, A it was only the very wealthy who kept carriages in London Then you woold not sec 400 private car riages in London. Each carriage then had a coachman and a footman. Then the coachman wore a white wig and the footman wore powdered hair.

 At o'clock the private carriages be gan to come out By there were about 6oo carriages in line Some coachmer wore wigs and some footmen had pow. dered hair, but 1 noticed that when the powdered-hair fellows got ou, into the street the people gazed at them.

 take the liberty of sueeEs,ing to the American coming abroad not to go in one of the fashionable and svercrowded steamships that are racing from New York to Liverpool, but rather to embark in French steamer for Havre or Bos- deaux or else, as have done this time, in boat of the Italian Florio- Rubattino line direct tor Marseilles, with a day at Gibraltar and the famous Pillars of Her cules- You have the advantage of a southern coast, with the probability of hir weather, and as Marseilles you can continue your journey easily in any direc- ton. Morovex, on the French and Italian steamships, as soon as you have left New York you feel yoursef to be in Europe. The language spoken, the service, the food, the atmosphere which pervzdes the life al seA, are all continental, not Egg lish, and you readily adapt yoursef to them.

Wheat or Wine.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
A vine-grower in Santa Glare county
planted q new field in Matara vines lust
three years ago. This year he sold his
grapes. He got the almost Incredible
result of six and one-half tons to the
acre, and received $50 a ton--in other
words, $195 an acre. OF course this is
very far above the average, even for
this prolific grape, but three tons to the
acre for 4-yoar-old vineyards are not al
ali unusual. This gives a yield Of 500
per acre. 1t is safe to say that in three
or four years from now The wheat fields
Of Colusa and Stanislaus would be
yielding a return not less than this if
they were planted to vines. How
much do they Weld at present?
The average yield of California
wheat lands last year was less
than fourteen bushels. This year
it is probably twenty-three bushels.
But how much is the farmer making?
He is not getting a sent a pound for his
wheat, and he must be a very skillful
farmer, with avery fine farm, who can
raise wheat at less than q cent a pound.
In the good times, a few years ago,
farmers used to count that they could
realize 81 an acre off the best wheat
lands. Now you can hire admirable
wheat land in Stanislaus and MERGED
for $3.50 an acre. Poorer land, with
some foot-hill thrown in-the very best
sites for vineyards, ifpeople only knew
it-can be hired in Fresno county FOL
Is cents an acre. The great difficulty
with California is that God Almighty
has done so much for it that the people
Of the state don't care about doing any
thing for themselves.

the thought Of q separation from his be-
loved sister, and he said:
How weahaI miss you whenyou are
goneIp
HYes, I have no doubt of it,, replied
the princess "but I shall leave you to
fair Althea, and she will more than take
my place, for she is soon to be your
bride"
Half an hour later, the wedding pro-
cession took its way to the chapel, which
was already crowded; the bells rang as
they only ring in fairy land, in clear,
sweet chimes; gay banners Haunted in
the breeze; children strewed the ground
with flowers, and as they entered the
church, the choir chanted q marriage
hymn. A few moments more, and the
wedding party were gathered around
the altar, where the bishop stood wait
ing to perform the ceremony. Prince
Rupert wore a costly suit, and never
had a handsomer pair stood together to
plight their marriage VOWS. Near the
royal bride stood her maid of honor, and
behind the bishop might be seer the
king, her father, while the noblemen,
VINO had come in the b~ridegroom's reti-
nue., were ranged near him in full court
dress.
Oh, that fairy bridal-what a bril-
liant pageant it was! And when the
rites were over, the prince murmured to
his bride:
II am indeed, the happiest man in the
world since you are my wife!"
At the palace there was a grand ban
quet, and then the newly-wedded pair
left the palace for the brides new home.
At length, attended by both retinues,
they proceeded to the sea-shore, where
they embarked in a delicate barge,
drawn by white swans, and followed by
their retainers in quaint vessels.
On reaching Prince Rupert's home,
they received q 'rdial welcome, and
AL went merry s. a marriage bell"
They led q long ahd happy life, and at

1t is amazing to think of the tremen-

It is amazing to think of the tremen-
dous projectile force which modern
guns have acquired under the expert
ments and improvements of the last
fifteen years. In Italy a 120-ton rifle
gun has thrown q steel-pointed bolt
through three feet thickness of steel
armor in layers, the bolt piercing clear
through this mass of hard metal and a
wood packing behind, and burying it.
self in the earth in the rear. Armored
vessels are sheathed with SIX to twelve
inches of steel plating, but what is this
frail barrier in the presence of one OF
these terrible guns, which in an en-.
counter at sea would send the heaviest
armored ship afloat with two or three
well directed shots. Guns and pro-
~jectlles have attained such a degree OF
effectiveness that d~efences have little
value; a pasteboard is about as good a
protection as q sheathing of steel, and a
ship a crew or garrison would be "a.
safe in the open air as behind armor
plates.

A voice from out the northern sky;
On the wings OF the limitless winds I fly
Swifter than thought over mountain and vale
0ity and moorland, desert and dale!
From the north to the south, from the east t
the west,
I hasten regardless Of slumber or rest;
Oh nothing you dream of can fly so fast
As on the wings of the wlntry blast!
THERE'S MsAasalCme SO low, no doubt,
Bat FIN my flight can find ii out;
Nor a hut so hidden but I can see
The shadow cast by the lone roof tree!
There's never a home so proud and high
Ihat am constrained to pass it by,
Nor a heart 80 happy it may not be
Happier still when blest by me!
What is my name? All, who can tell,
Though in every land It's a magic spell!
Men call me that and they call me this,
Yet the different names are the same, I wis!
Gift-bearer to all the world am l,
Joy-giver, Light brlnger, wherever / fly;
But the name l bear in the courts above,
My truest and hottest name, is-Love!
