Miss Carrie Van Booskirk has filed

lawful wife. Carrie has been n resident of
Grand Rapids for upward of fifteen years
and is well known about town.

a fondness for the stage, and in
an engagement with barn -storming ag-
lagos Albert Altner was a member of the
troupe and played star parts as the hero,
with Carrie as one of the leading ladies,

Francisco. though they might have learned
all he could tell them without so long a

A WAR ship has been ordered to sea with
a supply Of torpedoes for the purpose of
searching out and destroying the aban-
doned ships and wrecks that may be float
ing in the track Of navigation. This
is a very commcndable move, and one
that should long ago have been made tho
business of the worlds war ships in peace
time. Ii is n duty that does not appear 10
belong TO any particular nation, though
England claiming to lie mistress of the
seas, might have been expected 10 take the
initiative. There is no greater peril
threatening life at sea than the half-sub-
merged wrecks drifting aimiessly In the
paths of commerce. When Farragut was
advancing with his fleet 10 attack the forts
below New Orleans, he received all kinds
of rumors with calm indifference, but dis
played keen anxiety when told that n
number of submerged hulks had been east
adriil by the enemy and We're coming down
on his ships with the full impulse of the
rapid current. Recently, millions of news
readers were waiting anXiously for news
of the people OF the abandoned panmark
and meanwhile old sailors, steamship
owners and agents felt even deeper anxiety y
for the ships that were in peril of collision
with that dangerous wreck.

UNDER THE STARS.

The midnight hour is here, and silence orooos
With folded wings DER all the sleeping world;
The whippo' will within the sedgy fen
Hath hushed his querulous song. ana the ouu
owl
Sits calm and voiceless in the darksome wood.
tmpelled by sleepless care I walk abroad
Through the moist meadows, where the Dreatn'
ing flowers
Send forth sweet incense to the STOPPING hills
Whose shadows hold the vale in loved EN-
brace.
Softly the breeze comes from the groves afar
And gathering from the meads Q thousano
sweets
Bears them away in silence to the stars,
Whilst earth sits weeping tears OF pearly dew
For the dear loss, but speaks no evil word.
Out of the moonless skies the luminous stars.
Circlng in wondrous harmony and grace
Round the great central throne Of majesty,
Flash down sweet words Of peace and truth
and love;
Peace in the perfect motion of the spheres.
Truth in the light that streams upon the worlo,
And love in the dread power that holds them
answering in their way through the blue
deepS.
Ibow my head in silence as walk,
And saddening cares and wearing toll forgot;
listen to the voices of the stars;
For oh, they speak with no uncertain SOUND,
And in their motion sing Thy praise, God,
Thy praise and love, Thy majesty and might
In such blessed hour grief flies, and leaves
The soul rejoicing, for the glory of God
Falls down in golden rays upon the earth.
And truth and beauty live in the sweet Light.

COVERS SHAKESPEARE.
Statue in the Memorial Gardens, STRAIT


Statue in the Memorial Gardens, STRAIT
ford-on-Avon.
One of the features of Stratford, inter
esting to the Shakespeare pilgrim, Is
Lord Ronald Covers statue of the poet,
erected last summer in the Memorial
gardens. This work is fine in some of
its details, but not fortunate in all, and
certainly infelicitous in it's composition
and it's side. 1t consists of vast pedes-
tai, on the top of which stands the full
length bronze figure of Shakespeare,
while at the four corners of the base are
bronze figures of Hamlet, Lady Macbeth,
Henry V. and Falstaff. These character
figures are here named in the order of
their merit. Hamlet is the fulfilment
of noble ideal. The face and figure
are full of misery, yet full of thought.
The type Of man thus embodied would
be at once recognized anywhere-an i'm
perial, powerful, tender, gracious ma
ture, completely broken and subjugated
by hopeless grief Lady Macbeth,
though conventional in treatment, does
convey the idea of remorse and of
physical attenuation from suffering, and
likewise the sense of being haunted.
Henry V. is represented as putting on
the crown. The figure is 1.-the, graceful
and spirited, and the action of it is nat
ural. 1t lacks royal individuality, how
ever, and it might be taken for anybody
as soon as for Prince Henry. Falstaff
appears as a type of gross, chuckling
humor, and almost might be taken for
Gambrinus or King Beer. The intellect
and the predominant character of Falstaff
are not indicated. These figures are
dwarfed by the size of the stone they
surrOund-a huge pillar, upon which ap-
propriate lines upon Shakespeare, Sc
lected by Mr.. Flower, have been in
scribed. The statue of Shakespeare
himself shows man Of solid self-conse-
Grafton and iron will; an observer, of
universal view and incessant vigilance.
The remarkable feature of this figure is
the piercing look Of the eyes. This is
man who sees, ponders and records.
Imagination and sensibility are not
strongly suggested. The face lacks
modelling; it is as smooth as q child's
face-without characteristic curve or
wrinkle; perhaps it was designed to ex-
press an idea of eternal youth. The man
who had Shakespeare's obvious exper,
fence must have risen far above all that
this world can do, to bless or to ban a
human life. This structure, finally, has
been badly placed. It stands on the
south side of the Memorial building,
and within few feet of it, so that it is
almost swallowed up by what was in.
judiciously intended for it's background.
1t would show to far better advantage
if placed farther to the southwark, look
ing down the long reach of the Avon to
Shakespeare's church. The face of the
poet could then be seen from the spot
where he died, while his face would still
look, as it does now, toward his tomb

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
They Forui a Completely United Body
Enterprising and Harmonious.

They Forui a Completely United Body
Enterprising and Harmonious.
No State of the Union is a nation,
though several States exceed Euro
pean nations both in size and popula-
ton, the State of New York, for ex-
ample, being both larger and more
populous than the whole of Switzer-
land; and no State represents a his
torical nationality. Hence the ex-
perienoe of America, it may be OBJ
served, throws no light on the posi-
bility of using federalism and local
autonomy az convenient methods
either for recognizing and giving free
scope to the sentiment of nationality
which may exist in any part of an en-
pire, or for meeting the need for local
institutions and distinct legislation
which may arise from differences be-
tween such part and the rest of the
empire" The States, looked at as a
whole, make up the United States,
but the United States are nothing but
the political form into which circum-
stances have nodded the constitution
of a single nation. The Americans
are as much one people as the
French or the Italians; they form
more completely united body
than do the inhabitants of the
United Kingdom. The men you meet
at New York differ less from the men
you meet at Chicago than Londoners
from the citizens of Edinburgh or than
both from the citizens of Cork. The
difference, indeed, between whites and
blacks is of course fundamental, but
the aim of the negro is to initiate to
the best of his power the ordinary
American citizen, and there does not
exist at present, and, as far as one
dare prophesy any thing, there is not
much likelihood there will exist in the
Union any thing like negro national
ity. Meanwhile-and this is of pri-
mary importance-the division into
States does not correspond with dit
ferences of religious creed. An En-
glishman who goes from London to
Edinburgh enters into new moral at
mosphere. Who can pass a month in
Scotland without hearing of the diff
ferences which divide the Free Church
from the Establishment? What sane
man living in England cares to recall
these subjects of divisionP The Ro-
man Catholic citizen of Ticino is a
different man from the German Ro.
man Catholic of Lucerne; each differs
from the German Protestant of Berns
or the French Protestant of Geneva.
A citizen of the United States is an
American; he Is not Californian or
New Yorker. Edinburgh Review.

KNIVES FROM OLD FILES.
An Experienced Artisan Explains How
They Are Made.

An Experienced Artisan Explains How
They Are Made.
As smiths are often asked to make
knives from old files by farmers who be-
lieve that such knives are better than
any they can buy at hardware stores,
will describe my way of making them
I first draw the temper by heating the
file to cherry red, then placing it in
the ashes, and Ave inches under the
forge and leaving it there until it is cool.
then grind out the file marks and next
comes the drawing. 1 make the heat
no higher than bright cherry red, and
use good smooth-faced hammer The
file is drawn a little thicker than the
back of the blade is to be, and the blade
is then bent, edge being on the inside.
The blade is then drawn to an edge, the
drawing on the inner curve having the
effect of Strengthening it. When it has
been drawn to an even and nice color
and Strengthened, three holes are drilled
in it so that the handle can be fastened
on it, and it is then shaped with a file.
It is necessary to avoid getting the edge
too thin, or else there will be trouble in
tempering.
In tempering use soft and somewhat
warm water. / seize the handle end
with pair of tongs, hold the blade over
q clear, well-charred fire with the back
down, and heat evenly to the first hole
until l see that the blade is red, and
then plunge it endwise into the water.
This should leave the blade so that
when tried with file, the file will take
hold 1ast little. If this test shows
that the blade is too hard, 1 dip it in
linseed oil, hold it over a slow, clear fire
until the oil ignites, and then dip into
the water again. This will tougher and
enable it to hold its edge better. The
grinding should be done on good, even
faced stone.
1 have made many butcher knives in
this way, and have never heard any
complaint about them. There is not
much profit in such work, but it helps
to fill up leisure time.-Cor. Blacksmith
and Wheelwright.
