A caste called the Ollares, who live in

Jamee Russell Lowell wrote this bean-
tiful sonnet as tribute to the late Gen.
Clinton B. Fisk:
He stood upon the worlds proao 'nresooi'' :
wide
The din of battle and of slaughter rose;
He saw God stand upon the weaker SIDE
That sank in seeming loss before its foes.
Nanv there were who made great haste and sold
Into the common enemy their swords;
1a scorned their gifts of fame and power and
gold.
And. underneath their soft and floweru words,
Heard the cold serpent hiss; therefore, he went
And humbly Joined him to the weaker part,
Fanatic named. and fool, yet well content,
So he could be the nearer to Gods heart,
And feel its solemn pulses sending blood
Through all the widespread veins of endless

The Sea-Calming Qualities of Oil.

The Sea-Calming Qualities OF Oii.
The action of oil in calming the sea is
now so generally recognized, says the
London National Magazine, that the new
rules as to life saving appliances, to go
into effect November l, require that every
boat of sea- going vessels and all life-boats
shall carry zone gallon of oil and vessel
of approved pattern for distributing 1t on
the water in rough weather The potency
of oil in smoothing waves was recently OK
planned by Lord Rayleigh before the
ROYAL Institution in lucid lecture. Ihls
well known scientists experiments Demon
strate that foam or froth is caused oY I'LL
purities in liquids. Thus, on shaking up
a bottle containing pure water we get no
apprecisble foam, but taking mixture OF
water with five per cent of alcohol there IS
a much greater tendency to foam. Gam
phor. glue and gelatine dissolved in water
greatly increase it's fosming qualities, and
SOAP still more. Lord Rayleigh finds that
sea water foams, not on account OF It's sa-
line matter, but in consequence OF the
presence of something extracted by wave
action from sea weeds.
By simply putting his finger in water
which was moving vigorously under the
influence of few camphor scraplngs, the
contamination of the water by the intinites-
imal amount of grease sufficed to form an
invisible film over it and to neutralize the
foaming action produced by the dissolved
camphor. The effect of oil on waves, as
several physicists have proved, is not to
subdue the huge swell, but to smooth and
tone down its ripples, each of which gives
the wind point d'appui, thus increasing sI1 9
the force of the breaking waves. 'Ihe
film of OIL" says Lord Rayleigh, may be
compared to an inextensible membrane
floating on the surface of the water and
hampering it's motion" AS long as the
advancing, tumultuous sea water is pure,
there is nothing to oppose its perionic con
fractions and extensions, but when It's
surface is covered with the oily membrane
the most dangerous contractions and ex'
tensions are impossible The scientific
demonstration of the sea quelling virtue OF
oil is worthy of note by all sailors: 1t If
fortunate for them that Lord Rayleigh has
accomplished this at time when oeea1
storms, and especially tropical hurricanes
are likely soon to tax the seaman's art u
the utmost in saving his craft from de-
struction.-Er.

Some time ago Edward W. Box, of the
Ladies' Home Journal, submitted to IL
number Of the best known American and
European women the question "W hich,
in your opinion, is the hsppiest hour of
woman's life?" This question is really
the most unique Of a long list Of questions
concerning women, their feelings and
motives, that are torturing the masculine
mind. The answers were no less unique
and full of interest.
Louise Chandler Moulton said in reply
"But honestly think that resi- happiness
comes to women only haEd in hand with
love. = y When she begins to feel
thas she begins to be trAuu'ously, de-
liciously. deliriously happy. Bat that is
only the beginning. When her troth is
plghted--is that her happies moment?
She does not think so then, for she is lock
ing forward to her bridal morning. The
new life begins. Is that, then, the hap
piest moment7 Hardly. A year-a Year
of mutual forebearance Of getting well
acquainted-a happy year; and now they
look into each others eyes fearlessly
They are one at last, and for all time
f'Surely that is the happiest moment? .?
| had made up my mind to say so; but
is itP
"Ah, l think, after all, the happiest
moment is when love is sweet. shy new
conner, and hope leads it by the hand"
Rose Terry Cooke says: Il believe the
happiest hour of woman's life is her
last"
Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney thinks the hap
piest hour depends uron which woman it
is, and does not think her happiest hour
has yet come.
''The Duchess cannot decide-there
are so many blissful hours in life for most
of us. But She too, thinks "To love and
to feel oneself beoved-Jhat is indeed to
know the best of life"
Jennie June writes: Twice in my life
I have experienced moments of supreme
exaltation, when al material things seemed
at distance from me, and | was only
alive to the perception and influence of the
profound emotion excited by the circum-
stances and environment. OAe Of these
occasions was on arriving at Stratford-on-
Avon, the second while hearing 'Parsifal'
at Bayreuth. Since then have had dim
idea Of the happiness we shall know when
we can see, feel and understand"
Mrs. Frank Leslie thinks it is in this ex-
pectation of reanhing the top brick of
the chimney" that the happiess hour is
begun; "andif by some prodigious effort
we secure it, we find it sooty, battered,
coarse and clumsy, and we thr wv it out OF
the window" and the happiest hour of
life is over

A steam lifeboat has recently been COM
pleted and run on an experimental trip on
the river Thames in England. The new
craft is designed on plan qu,se similar tc
that of the ordinary lifeboat, and is built
of steel, with ample water tight subdivis
ions, there being fifteen water tight com
partments, making the boat practically un.
sinkable. The boiler and engine are raised
50 that they are about three feet above the
main deck, and the arrangements are for a
supply of forced air to keep up the draught.
The place for the passengers is in the after
portion of the boat, there being room for
thirty people.-London Letter.

How to Preserve a Piano.

Pianofortes must be kept dry and tree
from the least particle of damp, as damp
ness rusts the strings and pins, iDt1stes the
felt and leather, utterly running the action
work. For this reason on wet and foggy
days the window of the room in which the
piano stands must not be left open without
the instrument being covered up.
1t is not wise to place cottage piano
forte with its back against wall that Is
exposed to the influences of the weather,
or one having a chimney tue running
through it, neither should it be placed
too near the freside, where it would DE la
BILE to encounter direct and undue heat.
To prevent the keys of the instrument
from becoming yellow it is requisite to
wipe them with a soft wash-leather each
time after use. and to keep them covered
with a piece of white flannel reaching
from one end of the key board to the other.
Extreme degrees of heat and cold are fatal
to the cabinet work and relish of piano
forte. When not in service it is prudent
to keep the piano closed, especially during
the summer month"; as the moths, having
once found access to the inner parts of the
instrument, do vast damage, besides, ordi-
nary dust clogs and Is destructive to the
mechanism. In cases where cloth lining
is tackled at the back of cottage pianofortes
it is advisable to replace by wire gauze,
and any opening at the bottom of the in
strument must be likewise covered up,
in order to prevent mice from finding
comfortable retreat in one of the secluded
corners-under the eyboard is their favor
ite spot in the piano. In country and
farm houses-mice being more frequently
found in such resorts-this particularly re-
quisite, as these pernicious little creatures
build their nests with the felt and cloth
torn from the action.-Oh0naber's Journal.

A Trained Taran;ula.

A halfbreed boy of Mexican and Indian
blood recently attracted much attention at
Winslow, Ariz., by the performances of
an educated tarantula he owns he
carries the big formidable-l looking insect
in large wooden box sJupg about his
neck. which, when exhibiting his pet, he
places ON the ground as sort of stage.
At the command of it's master the tarant-
ula mounted small ladder, rang bell,
and performed ON q miniature trapeze.
Then, to the humping of tambourine in
the hands OF the boy, it proceeded to re-
volve slowly about, as if waltzing, and
when it had finished saluted the crowd by
lifting one leg three times.
After this performance was over it
crawled TO it's masters shoulder, where
it sat, occasionally running around his
neck or down into his bosom. The boy
says he tanned the spider when it was
young, first by feeding it every day until
it grew accustomed to him, then gradually
he taught it the tricks it knows. He de-
clares that it Is much more intelligent
than any dog, and very tractable, though
uncompromising in its enmity TO any one
but himself. 1t is as large as silver dol.
lar when curled up, though its legs are
two or three inches long.
The body is dull brown, covered with
short. coarse black hair, which also covers
the limbs, ,.but it is very sparse and bristly.
The eyes are small and CLEAN like dia-
mo1d points, while the mouth is furnished
with slender, overlapping fangs. The
power of spring in these creatures is said
to be something incredible, leap of ten
feet being no tremendous exertion. The
boy, who owns the only one which has
ever made friends with any other living
creature, is from the Mopgollon noun.

Natural EIoquence."

Though natural eloquence is supposed to
se thing of the heart, and of the inspira-
tion of the moment, great orators very
often have to depend for their eloquence
upon something quite other than inspira-
tion. It is impossible for them to speak
from full heart on every occasion, and
natural eloquence must be replaced by
carefully elaborated eloquence..
Edward Everett, the 'silver tongued
orator." used to write his addresses and
commit them to memory. This method
has been followed by many other public
men whose ''impromptu" eloquence has
been matter for great admiration to their
hearers Indeed,-it may be laid down as
an accepted rule that great speeches are pre-
pared beforehand Companion.
