The Mldnight Sun.

Imagine yourself on a ship at anchor
looking west or straight in front of
you. There is a broad expanse of sea
q little to your right hand, behind you
will be the rugged coast, and to your
left the long, narrow ford between
the islands and the mainland that the
steamer has just traversed. You watch
the sun as II slowly, slowly sets; the
islands and the coasts look like a rich
dark purple, and the shadows cast by
the ships mast, etc, grow longer and
longer. After a bit, when the sun has
sunk apparently twelve feet from the
horizon, it stops and seems TO remain
stationary for about twenty minutes;
then the very sea gulls hide away,
while the air all of q sudden strikes
chilly. Each one has an awed, ex-
pectant feeling; the tourist steamer
broods a silence that may be felt.
Soon the sui rises very slowly once
again, and the yellow clouds change
with his uprising to even greater
beauty, first TO the palest primrose
and then to a blush pink. The sky,
which was just now rose color, be-
comes gray, then pale emerald green,
and lastly blue. Rock after rock
stands out, caught by the suns bright
rays, and the reign Of day has begun

Waller Scotia Pluclt.

Illness and intense bodily pain could
no more deter Walter Scott from writ
ing than could travel or pleasure.
The greater part both Of "Ivanhoe"
and "The Bride OF Lammermoor" was
dictated, and in its composition was
punctuated by the groans of the suffer
ing author. When the amanuensis,
Laidlaw, besought him to spare him
self, Scott replied, NAY, Willie, only
see that the doors are fast; / would
fam keep all the cry as well as all the
wool TO ourselves; but as TO giving
over work, that can only be done
when ! am in WOODEN" Here, too, is
again displayed that tender considera-
ton for the comfort Of others which
built the little stairway at Abbotsford
50 that he might not disturb the rest
Of any Of the household when he
should happen 10 linger late at night
over his work. These excruciatinp
pains which, as he said one time, set
him roaring like a bull calf had a
curious effect; for when 'sThe Bride
Of Lammermoor" was put into his
hands in its complete shape, the only
recollection he had Of its contents was
of the incidents in the original story
with which he had been familiar from
childhood. And when he now read
his own creation il wa with no moro
knowledge of what he had written
than II the novel had been the work Of
some one else; indeed, while reading
II he was in constant fear that every
leaf he turned might reveal some in
consistency or absurdity -ScribnerIs

Great Duck Dogs.

Like the Newfoundland, the Chesapeake
Bay dog Is still TO be found-with the same
capacity and aptitude for his callinpIin
several strains, sizes, coats and colors. long
haired, short haired and curly coated: red
brown, or yellow, or sedge grass in color
Having gunned on one of the choicest shores
of tho Gunpowder river for more than twenty
years, and consequently outlived many early
prejudices, can say that by far the most
satisfactory dog for the true sportsman Is the
medium sized, "otter coated" dead grass
color, the shade Of your shooting suit. This
settles the question of color advantage. They
do not carry dead water to shake over YOU
hke any long haired animal, and consequently
suffer less from cold themselves, having O fine
fur next tho hide. They are powerful, fast
swimmers, with scent equal to any dog of the
best breed The large dog tires quicker, Is
bard to keep out Of sight, and of course is In
the way about the blind. The endurance of
these dogs as breed and their intelligence
for their business is almost beyond belief.

fans as far back as history reaches. Terence,
writer of Latin comedies who lived in the
Second century b. C., makes ono of his char

ancient Rome: Take this fan and give her
thus little air." From this Roman origin
the fashion OF carrying fans was handed
down to the ladies of Italy, Spain and France
and thence introduced into Britain. Queen
Elizabeth when in full dress carried a fan.
