 Belfast gentleman and wife were riding out one day recently and stopped at house on Northport avenue and asked for a drink of milk.

 Julia Wardhowe-We must decline to pub fish your beautiful poem on the Ewige Wei bliehe in Goethe for two reasons. The other one is, because in the first stanza you make Goethe rhyme with ''both," in the second with 'teeth" and still again in the third with 'sthirty." You are improving, Julia, and make little time on every lap, but you haven't quite got there yet. However, you are young and your theme is immortal, and in fact your poem is too short. You would have kenoed, as it were, on the next row.-Burdette.

tracted by boiling alcohol, from which it crystallizes on cooling Its point of fusion is 1885 to 184 degrees, while that of mannite is twenty degrees lower; it is very soluble in hot, less so in cold water, and even in con- centrated solution it has no action in the polarimeter; on adding borax, however, to four per cent. solution, it gives rotation to the right of O. 55 degree. It does not reduce copper solutions and is not fermentable. Boiling nitric acid converts it into oxalic acid, without the production of mucic acid. There are also some other chemical charac- teristics peculiar to this new sugar.
 India is indebted to Lady Dufferin, says the Calcutta correspondent of the London Times, for starting movement which will not only supply great want, but which also promises to have a powerful effect in paving the way for the most urgent of all Indian re- forms-the amelioration of the position of women. There has just been established under her auspices lady president na tional association for supplying female medi- ca1 aid to women in India. The viceroy is patron, the presidency governors and heuten-. ant governors are vice patrons, and their. wives vice patronesses. The object is to sup ply in hospital wards and within private houses that medical care and advice which respectable native women will only accept from their own sex. It has been decided to make substantial effort of an unsectarian and national character to organize and stim- ulate female medical education and facilitate the treatment of native fe males by women, and to supply trained nurses and midwives for hospi- tals and private houses. The association will provide scholarships for women under tuition, and will procure from Europe and America sufficient number of skilled female medical teachers. The executive body con- sists of a small central committee working under the presidency of Lady Dufferin. It is hoped that corresponding branches will be formed in each province. A general meet ing of all the branches will be held yearly in Calcutta. The Maharajahs of Ulwar, Rut- lam and Cashmere have already promised their support and sympathy, and aid from England and India is invited

Cost of English Yachts.


 Though the discomforts which formerly attended racing have been removed, the great increase in the initial cost and the heavy ex- pense of keeping a racing yacht in commis- sion deters many keen sailors from joining in the pastime. Roughly estimated, first class racing yacht of composite construction that is, steel frames planked with wood and sheathed with copper-classed 21 years at Lloyds', and without upholstering extrav- agances of any kind, will cost, if of 20 tons yacht measurement, about e1 800; of 40 tons, s, 500; of 90 tons, e7,OO0.

AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION.


 One of the most important of the many conventions to be held this fall is the meet ing of the American Forestry Congress at Boston September 22, 23 and 24. The meet ing will be held at Horticultural hall under the auspices of the Massachusetts horticul- tural society. joined by the New England az ricultural society. the society for the promo tion of agriculture and the State board of agriculture Mayor O'Brien will welcome the delegates, Governor Robinson will de- liver an address and there will be other addresses by prominent speakers. Among the subjects to be discussed are the follow ing: Importance of forests in climatic and hydraulic respects and in regard to other in- dustries; duties and rights of the State to protect her forest resources; forest fires, their causes and laws and methods for their restriction; education and research in forest " matters; arbor days; experiment stations; practical forestry, etc. Among the writers of papers to be presented are Senator War ner Miller of New York, chairman of the United States Senate committee on agricul- ture and forestry, ex-Governor J. S. Morton of Nebraska, H. G. Jo1y of Quebec, N. H. Egleston of Washington, Prof. Edward North of Hamilton college, Dr. Charles Mohr of Mobile, Ben: Perley Poore, and B. E. Fernow of New York.
 This meeting will undoubtedly add much to the interest already felt in for estry in this country. It is en- couraging that there has been lately such a general disposition to pay attention to the matter. Forestry associations have been formed in New York, Ohio, Minnesota, Col orado, Manitoba and in the Canadas. For estry commissions have been appointed, either of inquiry or management. in Yer mont, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsyl- vania, Ohio, Colorado and California. Ar bor days have been established in fifteen States. Important legislation in regard to forestry is now before Congress. The for estry bureau at Washington collects valuable information. Several periodicals are now devoted to the subject, and the press all through the country has helped constantly in the good work. In order to promote the healthy awakening of public sentiment now in progress, and to make it operative in law, the congress wants 'sthe strongest utterances of the most influential men, the cooperation of every good citizen.'' It should have them, for it is high time that steps were talk en toward more intelligent and economical dealing with the forests of the country

The French Artillery.

The artilliary, which is considered by the people, as well as by the army, as having to play preponderating role in the future wars, is always strongly applauded in all the re- views. It is the arm of the moment. The republican government has doubled it, and of all the expense it has created, it is on the whole quite justified. They cannot impro- wise artillery. We Parisians, who subscribed with much zeal for cannon during the siege, have seen enough of that. Those seven famous pieces, so badly constructed besides by civil engineers, were not ready in time, except to become servants of the commit nists. After the raising of the siege l left Paris for Bordeaux to assist at the first ses- sion of the assembly, which place chance had fixed upon for the meeting The first object which met my view on the dock was mag niicent American battery of steel guns that the sailors were disembarking. There were five; they had arrived during the night, 8 little like the famous marquis who came al ways the day after the battle to show himself among his comrades. To-day we have can non upon cannon of the latest designs. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that each nation in Europe lmagines that It possesses tine latest piece of mechanism for killing Iucn pIouIG1y, 0l1CdSAOuoiy e'co'o all, at the greatest distance. Our field pieces can, they say, lodge their shells at eight kilo- meters within square of ten meters on a side. This is superb, is it nots An, we'll there are in Europe 150 officers of artillery and sayants who are working to find piece still more eficacious, still lighter, and more easily moved; for the height of perfection of a piece of artillery is not only the solidity of the carriage, but it's mobility and it's light ness. It is necessary that piece of artillery may be able, as far as it is possible, to move wherever infantry may be able to go. Or, suppose that one of these 15O workers find something better than we have, something very much better; for example, one of double capacity and light enough for piece to be placed on the top of the July column, with an absolute accuracy, certain and eficacious, in making breach in the thickest walls the result will be that our material will be of 10 value, some hundreds of millions will be lost, and there will be some other hun dreds of millions of expense. But believe that, for the present, there is nothing to give us uneasiness. As long as they have not iI1- vented new powder for cannon the present pieces may, without an absolutely unforeseen discovery, be considered as possessing rela- tive perfection.

 lLichtenberg, in Longman's Magazinel
 Hamlet appears in black attire, the only one, alas, which is still worn in the whole court for his poor father, wno has been dead scarcely couple of months. Horatio and Marcellus accompany him in uniform. They await the ghost. Ha inlet has folded his arms and pulled his hat over his eyes. It is cold night, and just 12 o'clock. The theater is darkened, and the whole audience as still and the faces as motionless as if they had been painted on the walls of the house. At the extreme end of the theater one might have heard pin drop. Suddenly as Hamlet goes rather far up the stage somewhat to the left, with his back to the audience, Horatio starts. ''Look, my lord, it comes," says he, pointing to the right where the ghost is stand ing immovable, ere one is even aware of it. At these words Garrick turns suddenly round, and at the same moment staggers back two or three paces with trembling knees, his hat falls to the ground, both arms especially the left-are nearly extended to the full the hand as high as the head, the right arm more bent and the hand lower, the fingers spread out and the mouth open. There he remains standing, with legs far apart, but still in graceful attitude, as if electrified, supported by his friends His features express such horror that l felt a repeated shudder pass over me before he be- gan to speak. The almost appalling silence of the assembly which preceded this scene and made one feel scarcely safe in ones seat probably contributed not little to the effect. At last he speaks, not with the beginning but with the end of his breath, and says in voice, ''Angels and ministers of grace defend us," words which complete whatever may yet be wanting in this scene to make it yet one of the sublimest and most terrifying of which, perhaps, the stage is capable. The ghost beckons him; then you should see him with his eyes still fixed upon the ghost, while yet speaking to his friends, break lose from them, although they warn him not to follow and hold him fast. But at last, his patience exhausted, he faces them, and with great violence tears himself away, and, with swiftness which makes one shud- der, draws his sword on them, saying, ''By heavens, I'll make ghost of him that lets me-" Then, turning to the ghost, he holds his sword out: ''Go on; Pll follow thee;" and the ghost moves off. Hamlet remains stand ing still, his sword extended before him, to gain more distance; and when the audience loses sight of the ghost he begins to follow him slowly; at times stopping, and then going on again, but always with his sword extended, his eyes fixed on the ghost with hair and breathless, until he, too is lost behind the scenes. You may easily imagine what loud applause accompanies this exit. It begins soon as the ghost moves off and lasts until Hamlet likewise disappears.

for a 20 ton boat, e600; 40 ton boat, e1 200, and 90 ton boat, f2,OOO Mems wages would run away with large proportion, the captain being paid from e15O to s20O, and more according to ability, while allowed from to 10 per cent on the winnings, whether in cups of money. The members of the crew get 26s. per week, and have during the rac- ing days an unlimited supply. of beer, e1 each for winning prize, and los for every time they are to to start but lose, as reward for their head work during the contest. Two caps, two Guernsey frocks, one pair of leath CT ''go-ashores," suit of ducks, and some times a suit of oilskins are also nice little perqusities Possibly the owner of cruising yacht which is not raced may think these wages high, but it has to be kept in mind that it is not every sailor that makes first class yachtsman; one may be splendid hand on board square-rigged ship, and equal to every emergency which arises therein, but to win yacht races he mnst be expert in "bend- ing" and "unbending," which means fixing and unfxing sails to topsail yards the stow ing of jib to sails, the setting of spinnakers and many other things which are not prac- ticed in the navy or the ships of our mer- cantile fleets. Nor do ordinary fishermen become irst-class yachtsmen as the Marquis of Ailsa found out when he raced his famous little cutter Foxhound, of 35 tons, in the 40 ton class. With commendable patci- otism his lordship had his new boat manned by fishermen from the little fishing village of Dunure, on his own estate on the Ayrshire coast of Clyde. All were hardy seamen and splendid fellows in their own little boats but they were of no use against the expert enced men of Colchester, who, ill the close of the season for oyster fishing, have long made yacht racing profitable business. On the advice of yacht-racing men the crew of the Foxhound was changed, with the result that the little vessel proved herself marvel for speed in her class.
