BOARDING AN ICEBERG.

The task of successfully boarding an
iceberg with picks and bars is no easy
one. 1t is almost as exciting as the pur-
suit OF q whale, and is often full of dan
ger to the unwary. 1t is the testimony
of those who have had large experience
in this business that you cannot Judge an
iceberg as simple men frequently attempt
to judge horse--by mere outward ap-
pearances. The berg you are approach
ing may tower up majestically, with
glistening, rounded summit like the dome
on the Capitol at Washington, or it may
rear splendid picturesque spires like
those Of cathedral, or be turreted like
the castle at Windsor. It's vast proper
tions and architectural beauty may give
to it in your eyes an appearance of enor-
nous stability, while in truth its founda-
tions are rickety and unstable.
There is no way of telling what unex-
pected copvolutions en- apparently sedate
iceberg may indulge in at any moment.
Its submerged base may be a gigantic
mass balancing the exposed portion of
the berg as firmly upright as house
built upon rock, or it may be the most
veritable fraud and makeshift OF foun-
dalton.
Icebergs rising hundreds of feet in the
air, with brilliant scintillating turrets
and spires have been known to topple
over without moments warning. I'm
like the forest trees and other lofty works
OF nature on the land, decay i'll the iceberg
begins, not at the top, but at the root,
the warmer temperature Of the water
melting it at its base. Moreover, the ice
berg seldom presents an easily accessible
side to those who would board it, the
task of boarding berg being very much
in the nature OF scaling a perpendicular
wall of glass, with constant and immedi.
ate danger of slide into the sea. The
occupation in which these hardy fisher
men are engaged is thus one of much
greater peril than any one would at first
imagine. The right of American fisher
man to help themselves to slice of such
random icebergs as they may chance to
meet in their journeying, even though
the encounter occurs in Canadian waters
has not yet been the subject of interna-
tional dispute.

MOUNTAIN FLOWERS.

These wild flowers from the hills have filled
my room
With strange magnificence. Amid their bloom,
An unfamiliar guest,
stand amazed; such high, imperial air,
Such pomp of color these bright blossoms
wear,
Proud strangers of the West.
How beautiful they are! Celestial blue
The harebells lift their dazzling spires to view;
And warm with golden sheen
The peoples hold their satin spendor up.
And the wild daisy in its gilded cup
Still hides the mountain dew
The lilies white but dashed with crimson fire,
Are daughters of the sum- These purple spires
Bloomed on a crag SO high
The robes of morning and of evening swept
Their opening buds. and their ripe petals kept
The kisses of the sky.
And yet, as one entranced may stand alone
In some great festival where all unknown
A thousand faces grow,
And suddenly, from far-forgotten days,
Some shadowy face, with pleading, tender gaze,
Revives the Long Ago
50, as gaze upon these naughty flowers
OF the Sierras, dear New England bowers
Breathe back their lost Perfume;
] see the May. flower, with its flush of pink,
And, sweeter still, upon the rivers brink,
My own wild roses blowl

FACETIE.

The Due de Morny's definition of a
polite man is hard to realize. "a polite
man." said he, sis one who listens with
interest to things he knows all about,
when they are told by person who
knows nothing about them"
"A fashion item asserts that "sDow-
balls make lovely trimming for a tulle

bic to observe that small boys consider
snowballs appropriate trimming for mems
hats also.

customers to assume an easy smile until
they furnish the smile with the rest of
the apparatus. Let us not build hopes
of beauty ON vain imaginings.

RARE JOHN PENFIELD.
BY FL0RINE THAYER McCRAY.

The express train north drew up to the
little station at Webster, stopped mo-
ment, and then sped away again with
shrek and a roar, leaving a cloud of
curling smoke floating across the hills.
John Pentield stood upon the platform,
valise in hand, and, after making in
quiries of the station agent, slowly wend-
ed his way up the curving road and
across the village green to the door of
Farmer Brown.
"You must get out of town, among the
hills where you can have clear air to
breathe and plenty of pure milk and
cream" the good old doctor had said TO
his convaIescant patient, whom he had
with difficulty pulled through an attack
OF pneumonia.
"Hold on he cried; g know the very
place! The only objection" he said with
joyial laugh at Penfeld, " is that Brown
has pretty daughter that you might fall
in love with. Dare you risk it?" John
replied, smiling family, that he thought
there was little danger Of his making
love to any one just at present.
Don't be too sure,' laughed the
jovial doctor, who had come to regard
his pale patient with affection. "a man
is never SO sure to get spooney over the
first young woman who comes in his
way as when he is weakened by sick
ness"
So here he was, standing at the farm
er'a door, trembling from the slight ex-
ertion of the welk and quite disheartened
to find himself still so weak. Farmer
Brown and his wife proved to be kindly
and hard working couple, who gave their
guest homely welcome. Jennie Brown
was indeed very sweet girl, and pos
sessed Of attractions greater than merely
s pretty face, namely, those of a warm
heart and an amiable disposition. The
good people made it very pleasant upon
the hiil-farm for the gentleman from the
city, who gained strength and cheerful
ness under the combined influences OF
rest and plenty Of wholesome food and

Penfeld staid on and Oh, until it came
haying time, and he found himself IN the
fragrant field with the other men, driv
ing the tedder and horse rake, bronzed
by the sun, and ravenously hungry when
eleven o'clock came and Jennie brought
the lunch to the shade of the large tree
at the edge OF the lot. There was a man
ly young fellow, neighbours son, named
Thomas Spencer, who came over to help
about the haying, whom Penfeld liked
exceedingly we'll as their acquaintance
grew in the long summer days.
al see you are rather Of progressive
fellow" observed Penfeld from the shade
Of his big straw hat as they lay upon the
ground under the friendly trees, one day
at noon. " A few men like you, who are
contented to remain upon the farm and
devote as much care and study to the i'm
provement OF their land as they now
waste in trades already overcrowded,
would be boon to this country"

Mrs. Gummidge and her market basket

wilds Of Australia, is seized with deep
admiration for the charms of Mrs. Gum

She never more is known to have "vis-

in her character as is often seen when an
almost overwhelming sorrow oyertakes

GROWING OLD.

The year in it's whole progress is
beautiful. We love the first glimpses of
green under the hedges, the song of the
returning birds, the early flushes of col
OF on the trees as they are getting ready
to fling out all their leafy banners 10 the
winds. But we love also the haze OF the
Indian summer, the yellow of the golden
rod, and the October woods all aaame
with glory. And we know that ev win
ter, when the gales rattle the bare and
frozen branches, is hiding beneath tine
pallor of its death the promise of another
glorious spring. The early flush of the
dawn is tenderly beautiful with dew and
waking birds,--the infancy of day. But
what is there in all the round of natures
wonders to surpass such sunsets as We
have seen? And, after the sun had gone
down, and the last bit of color had faded
away, then, one by one, the stars have
come out, and have made night SO bean
tiful that We have fallen In love with the
shadow.
So naturally and so beautifully through
all its advancing phases, ought oar lives
to run. Sunny childhood, an old age as
sweet and lovely,-so should the one be
matched by the other. An old age under
whose snow lies the promise of springl
An old age under whose gathering shad-
ows and above whose faded glories are
peeping out the stars SO will it be
when we have learned how to grow old

OLD JONES is DEAD.
BY LOUISE CHANDLER moULToN.

[ sat in my window, high overhead,
And heard them say, below in the street:
81 suppose you know that old Jones is dead?'
Then the speakers passed, and heard their
feet
Heedlessly walking their onward way.
"Deadl' what more could there be to say2
But I sat and pondered what it might mean
Thus to be dead while the world went by:
Did Jones see further than we have seen?
Was he one with the stars in the watching
sky?
Or down there under the growing grass
Did he hear the feet of the daylight pass2
Were daytime and nighttime as one to him
now,
And grieving and hoping tale that is told?
A kiss on his lips, or a hand on his brow,
Gould he feel them under the churchyard
mold,
AS he surely had felt them his whole life long
Though they passed with his youth time hot
and strong?
They callt d him "Old Jones" when at last he
died;
"Old Jones' he had been for many a year;
Yet his faithful memory time deted,
And dwelt in the days so distant and dear
When first he had found that love was sweet
And rocked not the speed of its hurrying feet.
Does he brood in the long night under the sod
On the joys and sorrows he used to know;
Or far in some wonderful world of God,
Where the shining seraphs stand, row on
row,
Does he wake like a child at the daylight's
CLEAN,
And know that the past was nights short
dream?
Is he dead, and a clod there down below;
Or dead and wiser than any alive;
Which? All, who of us all may know,
Or who can cay how the dead folk thrive?
But the summer morning is cool and sweet,
And hear the live folk laugh in the street.

the sister; therefore you will always be
dear to me. When I can bear it, hope
to visit the place where he so pleasantly
passed his last summer"
Their sorrow was changed to wonder
and joy. which again succeeded TO great
pity for the noble man who, dying for
love OF her, had left the means to make
her happy with another. It was five
years ago. Jennie is now the happy
wife OF Thomas Spencer, who has got a
fair start and is growing to be a pros
porous man. Two children brighten the

NIAGARA FALLS.

The thoughts are strange that crowd into my
brain
While look upward to thee. 1t would seem
As if God pour'd thee from his "holow
hand"
And hung his bow upon thine awful front,
And spoke in that loud voice which seem'd to
him
Who dwelt in Patmos for his saviour's sake
The sound of many waters, and had babe
Thy flood to chronicle the ages back,
And notch his CENTRES in the eternal rocks.
John @. G. Brdindrd.
or all the sights on this earth Of ours
which tourists travel to see-at leaat of
all those which I have seen-I am inclined
to give the palm to the Falls Of Niagara.
In the catalogue Of such sights I intend
to include all buildings, pictures, statues
and wonders of art made by mems hands,
and also all beauties of nature prepared by
the Creator for the delight of his Great
ures. This is a long sentence; but as far as
my taste and judgment go, it is justified.
l know no other one thing 20 beauti-
full, so glorious and SO powerful. would
not by this be understood as saying
that traveller wishing to do the best
with his time should first of all places
seek Niagara. In visiting Florence he
may learn almost all that modern art can
teach. At Rome he will be brought to
understand the cold hearts, correct eyes
and cruel ambition of the old Latin race.
In Switzerland he will surround himself
with food OF grandeur and loneliness,
and fill himself, if he be capable OF such
filling, with q food of romance. The
tropics will unfold to him all that vege-
tation in its greatest richness can pro-
duce. In Paris he will find the supreme
OF polish, the ne plus ultra of varnish ac-
cording to the worlds capability of var
nishing; and IN London he will find the
supreme of power, the ne plus ultra of
work according 70 the worlds capability
OF working. Amy one of such journeys
may be more valuable to man-nay,
any one such journey must be more val
liable to man, than visit to Niagara.
at Niagara there is that fall of waters
alone. But that fell is more graceful
than Giotto's tower, more noble than the
Apollo. The peaks of the Alps are not
so astounding in their solitude. The
valleys of the Blue Mountains in Jamai-
ca are less green. The finished glaze of
life in Paris is less invariable; and the full
tide OF trade round the Bank of England
is no so inexorably powerful. anthony

SUGAR AMONG THE ANcIENTs


1t seems almost impossible to imagine
life without sugar, SO absolutely essential
is its use TO the comfort of living. There
is no mention of sugar among the early
"eweet" cane was made known by the
conquests of Alexander the Great, whose
admiral, Nearchus, found it in the East
Indies. It is mentioned as a remedial
agent few years before the birth of
Christ -" q honey called saccharon,
having the appearance of salt" 1t is
known, also, that Galen often prescribed
it as medicine. The juice of the sugar
cane WIS used by some of the Oriental
nations as an Intoxicating drink. The
Arebians used sugar in large quantities,
and it is related that at the marriage OF
Caliph Maskadi Benrittale so, 900 pounds
of the sugar were required to prepare the
comftures and ornamental sweets for the
wedding banquet at Bagdad.
Sugar was introduced into Europe by
the crusaders. In 1855 the king Of Sicily
gave the monks of st. Benedict's cloister
mill for expressing the juice from the
cane and granted them the right OF man
ufacture and sent them skilled workmen.
In Germany, even as late as the end of
the seventeenth century, sugar was so
costly that only the wealthiest families
could afford to use it. In 1745 Marggraf,
celebrated chemist, read paper before
the Berlin Academy of Sciences concern
ing the juices of certain native plants,
especially the beet, ip which was sub
stance identical with cane sugar. He
showed by samples OF his own prepaTa-
ton that the manufacture of sugar from
the beet was not only possible but profit
able. The chemists colleagues, however,
laughed the project to scorn, saying that
sugar was never produced from beets,
and it came to naught. When Marggraf
died, in 1888, it seemed as if his discov-
cry would die with him.
Achard, his pupil, at the close of the
century, being director of the academy,
found the treatise of his master and
determined to establish manufactory
in Silesia for the production of beet
root sugar. In spite of the energy of
the chemist and the assistance of the
crown, the project was not successful,
although the sugar was perfectly salts
factory. 1t was not until 1871, nearly
100 years after Marggrets first essay,
that the production of beet sugar was
an accomplished fact. At the present
time beet sugar is the sugar Of Europe
1t is scarcely distinguishable from the
cane sugar. 1t is perhaps less brilliantly
crystalline, and is by many thought to
be sweeter than its Indian rival.-Neac

WELL DRESSD.

We once heard mother, who had been
criticised for her personal vanity by a
somewhat gossipy neighbor, say that
she made it duty and pleasure to
keep we'll dressed, for she was likely at
any hour to be called upon to entertain
friends whose good opinion was Of such
consequence that she could not afford to
run the risk of having them find her in
anything but neat and presentable attire.
The friends were her husband and chill
dren, and she was fully compensated for
her care in this direction by their approx
al and appreciation. To be "well dress
ed" was not to her mind, an admission
of extravaganza. Good taste and good
planning often stand in the place of dol
lars and cents, and the lady in question
was able to dress we'll on half the cost of
her neighbours wardrobe.
