The Lorelel in South America.

The Lorelei Is i~ndissolubly associated
with the legends of the Rhine, and no
one would ever have believed that she,
like less mythical sweet singers and
charming actresses, would leave her ma
tive waters and cross the ocean to en-
chant men abroad. But the Germans
ave been unromantic enough t. suggest
the necessity of removing with dynamite
the dangerous rock upon which the
golden haired siren sat and sang her
''wondrous melody" Turing careless
navigators to destruction. 1t is not likely
the Lorelei has yet fully realized how
completely her charming song is rem
dered harmless and that it viii be neces-
sary for her to '"nove on"
A place has already been found for her.
A colossal statue of the Lorelei is about
to be made in Germany and imported to
the rocky shores of that great South
American stream, the Rio de la Plata,
and the sculptor Albert MANTLE has al
ready completed the model for the cast
ing. A lover of Rhenish romance, for
merly a Rhinelander, now dwelling in
Buenos Ayres, who possesses considera-
BILE land on a romantic part of the Rio de
la Plata, has cherished the memory of
the Lorelei, Of his native stream, and
now proposes, prompted by a desire to
perpetuate the poetic German legend, to
introduce her to this distant zone. This
South American Lorelei is a work of art,
which will be a lasting memorial, not
only of the tabled enchantress of the
Rhine, but also of the romantic poetry
and art Of Germany. = Demorest' g

A BIRD SONG.


oh. beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Dear,
Come herel
From the topmost bough of this sunHt tree,
Where / rock and sing,
And sing
To thee, love, TO thee,
The earth looks fair as summer land,
And the gold crowned dandelions, famed
by the breath OF the south,
Soft as the kiss OF a baby's mouth.
culver with ecstasy where they stand.
Dear,
Come here,
To the swaytng tip of this chestnut tree,
Ihave something to say To thee,
Dear, dearl
The world is wide and the world Is bright,
And the earth sings back to the morning light
ASH love, to thee.
Mans ears are dun to the tiny sound
Under the ground
OF flowers pricking toward the sun,
And fall Of dew when the day Is done.
We heard.
We heari
And our hearts are bursting with tubilRnt glee
As we sit and swing,
And sing,
On the top OF the chestnut tree-
Listen, dearI
The world is wide, and somewhere It holds
Perhaps in this tree-
Shady and safe, meath the leafy dome,
A place just fit for a brides home,
Why not for thee and msf
Bird wings are boating
The fragrant air,
Bird songs are greeting
Tho daisies fair,
And love and the sunlight are everywhere.
Dear,
God made the world for thee and me,
And me, love. for thee.

Pm through with novel reading for
a WHILE" said a prominent and hard
working lawyer after he had read two
pages Of a political tract through half a
dozen times without catching the sense.
Its as bad as getting drunk; it Is a
sort of IN intellectual debauch. 1 have
been relaxing my mind as I fondly
called it, for some months at home In the
evenings reading novels and nothing else,
and where am II My mind skins over
the pages Of any serious thing like this
and doesn't take in a single fact without
the greatest trouble. Strange to say, 1
a read law as closely and keenly as
ever, but my memory is spoiled for solid
non-professional reading. Now just think
Of the. thousands of minds in this city
that never read anything but novels, and
tell me if you wonder they need to take
lessons to train their memories. It's
awful. 1 believe it Is exactly on a par
mentally as getting drunk Is physically.

Salt and Human Longevity.

In a recent work by Professor Burg
graeve, of Client, the prominent theory
maintained is that salt is the great regu-
lating agent of life, and on the proper
use of which human longevity largely
depends. Among the interesting facts
by Professor Burggraeve is that about the
end of the last century a terrible epidemic,
bearing some analogy 10 scurvy, broke
out in Saxony, making such rapid pro-
gress among the poorer classes that the
government ordered an inquiry into its
nature and course. The result was the
establishment of a singular fact VIZ,
that miners, although reduced to the
same misery as other worlmen, remained
with their families completely exempt
from the malady. The diet Of the min
ers differed from the others only in one
point, viz, that being employed by the
state, they were supplied with salt gra-
~tuitously. Salt was then prescribed as a
curative measure, and the epidemic dis

A correspondent who recently inter
viewed Gen. Boulanger says: 1.-The gen
eral impression one gets from Boulanger
Is not that he is a man Of affairs, or force,
OF q great soldier, but that he is gifted
with great nervous energy and has the
work. Every mgysmsnt is as rapid as q
fash, and there q apparently no end of
his enthusiasm for the cause which bears
his name. l may add that the general
impression is, in France, that if the ulti-
mate uecess of Boulanger himself Is.
doubtful, there is little question of the.
cause to which he has given his name.
Boulanger may fail, but Boulangism has
come to stay. "-Philadelphia Press.

SAD DROWNING.
A Young Man Loses His Life In
Lake Harriet.

A sad drowning accident occurred at
Lake Harriet last evening. A party
composed of employees of the Minneapo-
lis Saturday Evening Spectator and the
Housekeeper have been stopping at the
Saints Rest" on the southeast shore
of the lake. Last evening ten of
the yonng men went in bathing
near the inlet. Two of the party.
Archie Martin and Walter S. Bicknell,
got into row boat and pulled out some
little distance from the shore, intend
ing t.. swim in. Young Bicknell jumped
from the boat, sending it some distance
from him as he did so. He had taken
but a few strokes when his
friends on the shore were hor-
rifed to see him sink. He
came to the surface again, struggling in
a wild sort of way, and then sank.
They tried to get out to him, and Mar
tin, who was still in the boat, adjusted
the oars and pulled as quickly as posi-
ble'tO the place where he was last OBJ
served, but he was not to be seen in
the darkness. The body was not
found until 1880 o'clock, when
it was recovered by Col. Hill
of the park police in about ten feet of
water. Bicknell was twenty-One years
of age and employed as mailing clerk of
the HOuSekeeper. He has mother and
two sisters, with whom he resided, at
2619 Depont avenue. Deputy Coroner
Spring viewed the remains and they
were brought into the city and taken to
COnne1ly'S mOrgue.

He Wanted More.

A Georgia man, according to the Ar

cotton gin had one of his hands so bad
ly crushed that the amputation of two
of his fingers was rendered necessary.
A physician who happened to be pass
ing the place was summoned to per-
form the operation.
''ThiS will be rather painful affair.""
said the doctor, especially as have no
chlOroform or anything to deaden the
nerves."
''Ain't you got nothin' at alp" the
wounded man asked.
''Let me see. l think 1 have some old
brandy in my saddlebags."
The Georglan'S eyes frightened. The
doctor got the brandy, and, after giving
the sufferer drink, performed the
operation.
Say, doc," said the injured man,
'don't you that other finger oughter
to be tuck off?

Special to the Globe
MONMOUTH PARK, July 26.-There
was an excellent programme here to-
day, and this with the fine weather for
outdoor sport was the means of attract
ing large attendance of the lovers of
race this afternoon. 1t was fully as
large as on all Thursdays. The track
was in fine condition. 1t was very fast.
In the first race Brittanic took the lead,
with ShOtOver next. Half way up the
home stretch Grimaldi came by and
won by length and half. The favor
lite came in fourth. The Optional stakes
was anybOdy's race till the last furlong,
rush, beating Mr.. Belmont's Clarrissa
half a length. The Trenton stakes was
another exciting contest. Defaulter
was scarcely heard from till the
horses entered straight. Then he
came by Little Jim, who beat the
Minority colt, the favorite, two lengths.
The next handicap was decided by the
start, which was the worst ever seen on
this course. Connemara was at least
six lengths in front of the Bourbon
and Eurus and nearly fifteen lengths
in front of the favorite, Firenzi, when
the flag dropped. She was never headed,
and although FirenZi ran great race
lie the home stretch she couldn't quite
get up, and COnnemara won by two
lengths. The start in the fifth race
was also very struggling. Telie Doe
had the best of it and held the lead to
upper turn, when Stride-away took it,
holding it until the last furlong, where
Joe Lee came by and won by length.
