a WHITE BEAR IDYL.

Twilight hour-placid stream
Girls-two-standb y-musing seem
Look about them-both are shy
Wicked man-looks on near by
Do not see him-shOulders-
And more too-angelic charms
Off goes ribbon-bustle-st
Not word-entrancing-shocking-
dy-forward-look about
Rush in water-joyous shout
Nymphs disporting-jOking chatting
Swallow water-ducking laughing
Man seeks dresses-quick as thought
Ties in petticoatS-sailor knot
Runs up hIll-bOathouse seeks
Laughs guffaws-not so for weeks
Boats crew listen-hear him croak-
Finally tells of little joke.
Oarsman Drawny-red in face
Kicks the joker -hies in space
Mad all over-likely smother
He's the bather's elder brother.

be in excess of 10000. This is about
10000 more miles than all of Europe has,

THE organ of the Wholesale Liquor
Dealers association probably represents
some feeling at the growing substitu-
ton of malt for distilled liquors, in its
assertion that brewers doctor their
products to such an extent that they
will themselves drink anything in pref
erence to beer. If there are noxious in
gradients in the popular beverage. the
official inspector will no doubt see that
only the unadulterated article is dis
penSed in this state.

In a Paris Insane AsYInm.

| visited wards in company with Professor
Ball, who pointed out rarities a woman
who, though perfectly deaf, is tormented
with the hallucination of hearing interlnit-
tent voices addressing her; another unfortu-
nate, whose rosy face bears the sign of excel
lent health, yet is a prey to the whole gamut
of ills; and further on is a fantastic case of
duality, more mOnstrous than the case of
Dr. JekyI and Mr.. Hyde, for the victim is a
woman whose frame is periodically inhabited
by the spirit of a man. The nurse following
with her open book noted down the prescrip-
tions.
How they differ from the old regimei
None of the vigorous remedies, not even a
cold water dOuche was prescribed in a single
instance. Each patient was treated for the
primary causes found in the physical de-
Yangement. How truly it can be said that
Pinel broke the chains of these unfortunate
creatures! With what extreme gentleness
and kindness they are treated! The doctors
listen to all their complaints and imaginary
ills without word of impatience or harsh
ness, and treat them with the considerate in
diligence used toward maynard children.

tients were breakfasting. The mad win no

Kate Field on EIocution.

What a level headed woman is Kate
Field! A timid young man in San Fran
cisco once asked her who taught her elo-
cution.
Nobody" was the reply. eff there is
one word more repelling than all others
to an actor, or to the descendants of
actors, it is the word 'elocution.' And
equally obnoxious are the methods by
which so called elocution is obtained. It
is saying u good deal, but probably out
side of patent medicines there is no hum
bug so great as nine-tenths of our elocu-
ton teachers. Men and women who are
utterly incapable of speaking one sentence
naturally, undertake to manufacture pub
lie speakers. With what result? Pulpit,
bar, rostrum and stage TEEN with speakers
who mouth, crate and tear a passion TO
tatters, but never hold the mirror up to
nature. 1t is a grievous evil. That elo-
cution can be taught scientifically have
no doubt, but know that most teachers
are to be Stunned as you would shun the
plague.

servia's Beautiful but Bad Queen.

A lovely pilgrim was here for few
days, although she did not come for the
jubilee. She came to us from Florence,
where she is stopping for the winter,
stayed a short while, made all Romans
turn to look at her queenly beauty (and
verify believe that even Caesar, Brutus,
Antony and all the old Romans to ono
would raise their heads to look, if they
only could, and went back to her Floren-
tine abode. 1 am speaking of Queen
Natalie, of Servia. She is more beautiful
than ever; her domestic troubles did not
spoil her lovely figure one bit. She WAS
walking the other day on the Corso, look
ing around with her large, deep, brown
eyes, her black hair streaming half way
Gown her shoulders, and then gathered
into a big, soft tress. She is travelling
incog. under the name Of the Countess Of
Takow, and has taken up Villa Itzinga,
in Florence, for her residence. She is liv-
ing very quietly. Every day she takes n
ride through the city, stopping here and
there to buy whatever pleases her fancy.
The other day her horses ran away, but
fortunately no harm was done except to
the carriage. Her son is with her-a
bright and studious youth of 10.
