Great Men of Our Century.

Our generation has been fertile in
great men. On the threshold of the
nineteenth century the great Napoleon
still overshadowed the earth with the
baleful might of his genius. America
has had Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses
S. Grant. France has rejoiced in the
possession of the first compeer of
Goethe in the person of Victor Hugo.
To Germany has been accorded the
greatest statesman of these later years,
a new Warwick, who was more than a
King-maker, since he was the molder OF
an empire. He is the one modern figure
that can vie in grandeur with that of
Richelieu. But unlike the mighty
Cardinal, he has left behind him NO
monument amid the artistic and literary
institutions of his country. Painting
and science and poetry and music were
beneath the scope of his gigantic in
tellect But Richelieu chiefly lives in
the worlds memory as the protector of
French literature, the patron of Cor
nellie, and the founder of the Sor-
bonnie, the French Academy and the
Comedie Francaise.-Lucy II. Hooper

Coast skipper.

Good Yarn Spun by a Truthful Pacific
Coast Skipper.
The funniest thing out happened to
me on the last passage to Honolulu. 1t
happened in this way: We have pat
emit self-registering log. The register
is attached to the taffrail, and the pro-
peller is lowed astern. We had about
800 feet of line out 1t was just about
seven bells, and the Bessie was going
about six knots. Presently the log line
became as taut as wire stay, and there
was terrible furry near the propeller.
l happened to be on deck, and, seeing
the trouble, ran to the taffrail. What
do you think saw? Why, Pm blamed
if great big blue shark hadn't swal-
lowed the propeller. 1 called some
line. There were seven hands pulling
on the line beside myself, and yet we
had hard time pulling the fish in.
But, by thunder, sir, we hauled $50 feet
of that line in, until the shark was right
under our counter. He was quite so
feet long, and in a terrible rage, lashing
the water into foam. We were Just be-
ginning to think that we could get him
on board, when the line snapped, being
bitten through by the shark. just
think of it, however, pulling shark in
$50 feet on log-line, and he did not
bite it until within 20 feet of the taft
rail! Of course, by losing the shark we
also lost our propeller, but it must have
been pretty hard to digest, and his in
side must have been pretty sore from
the strain.
The funniest part of the thing was
the action of the register. When the
weight of the shark got onto the line,
the blamed register showed a speed of
60 miles an hour, with only six-knot
breeze. Well, sir, when the mate looked
at the register first, and then at the
sails, he nearly tainted. 1t was not for
several seconds that he realized there
was so much dead weight on the rope

Grafton; and, as they make room in turn
for one another, they give to the true
and modest lovers of an author chance
to enjoy him in peace. Wordsworth is
now, for example, the cherished friend
of a tranquil and happy band, who read
him placidly in green meadows or by
their own firesides, and forbear to troub-
lie themselves about the obstinate blind
ness of the disaffected. But there was
time when battles royal were fought
over his fame, owing principally, if
not altogether, to the insulting preten-
sions of his followers. 1t was then con-
sidered correct and seemly thing to
vaunt his peculiar merits, and if they
reflected shadowy grandeur upon all
who praised them, very much in the
spirit of the little Australian boy who
said to Mr.. Froude: Don't you think
the harbor of Sydney does us great
credit" To which the historians
characteristic reply was: cit does, my
dear, if you made it" Apart from
the prolonged and rointless discus
sion of Wordsworth's admirable moral
qualities, ''as though he had been the
candidate for Bishopric," there was
always adelicately -implied claim on the
part of his worshipers that they pos
sessed finer perceptions than their
neighbors, that they were in some in
comprehensive way open to influences
which revealed nothing to less subtle
and discriminating souls. The same tone
among the very ardent admirers of Rob
ert Browning, who seem to be perpetu-
ally Offering thanks to Heaven that they
are not as other men, and who evince a
gentle but humiliating contempt for
their uninitiated fellow-creatures;
while Ibsen's fervent devotees dwell on
the mountainous apart. How many
people, wonder, who believe that they
have loved Shelley all their lives, find
themselves exceedingly dazed and
harassed by what Mr.. Freeman calls
the snares of Shelleyana," mist of
confusing chatter and distorted praise!
How many unambltlous readers, who
would fain enjoy their Shakespeare
quietly, are pursued even to their
peaceful chimney-corners by the
perfidious devices of commenta-
tors and of cranks! In the meanwhile,
an experienced few ally themselves,
with supreme but transient enthusiasm,
to Frederic Mistral or to Pushkin, to
Omar Khayyam or to Amiel; and an in
experienced many strive falteringly to
believe that they were acquainted with
the Rubaiyat before the date of Mr..
Vedder's illustrations, and that the
diary of half-Germanized Frenchman,
submerged in speculative and singu-
larly cherries philosophy, represents
the intellectual food for which their
souls are craving.-Agnes Repplier. in

Emerson tells US there are two ele-
ments that enter into every frienship.

stand this test of the philosopher? Rich
is the man who has friend before whom
he mag be himself, with no shadow of
pretense-a second soul, who will see
and be seen without the mask of hui
manity. When two human beings hold
this relation, there is no possibility of
danger, for truth is the Divine light that
sheds its rays over their pathway.
To seek to lead another is desecra-
ton; we may seek to make the pathway
less rough, or perhaps nail directions on
a sign-board because we have walked
that path before, but we defraud him
to whom Heaven has given the use of
all his faculties if we try to carry him
when he has received the Divine COM
mand to walk. The beggar at the pool
carried his own bed. though Divine love
thrilled the paralyzed limbs and gave
the strength for life's duties.
1--WE talk of choosing our friends"
says Emerson, "but friends are self
elected. Reverence is a great part of
it. Treat your friend as spectacle.
OF course he has merits that are not
yours, and that you can not honor if you
must needs hold him close to your per-
son. Stand aside; give those merits
room; let them mount and expand. Are
you the friend of your friends buttons

1t was a solemn, weird wedding, away
off in the Rocky Mountains at the dead
hour of midnight, with none but few
rough, rugged miners, and they stran-

times there is bright future growing
out of the dark present, and such was
destined to be the case in this instance,

Robert Erwin grew we'll and strong,

Dock and his party were considerably

WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.

There's q poet who sings
or the wond srful things
That man with his might and his knowledge
gets through;
But wish to rehearse,
In jingle of verse;,
A good many things that woman can do.
II distressed you appear,
She can comfort and cheer,
Dispelling the trouble that made you look blue.
She is born to console
Any suffering soul;
This is one Of the things woman can do
She can talk like book,
She can wash, sew or cook.
She can take shabby garments and make them
look new;
And to keep house neat,
Cheerful, healthy and sweet,
Is another good thing that a woman can do
She's wonderful trick
When she nurses the sick,
And as mute as a shadow her tasks she'll pur-
AS an angel to cheer,
She can stand without peer;
Is one Of the things that a woman Can do
in good many ways
She's entitled to praise;
In good many others-to give her her due
She's little bit wrong.
To continue my song,
will name other things that woman can't do
suppose you will own
That she can't throw q stone
With possible chance of her aim being true,
And the pencil she'll point
Will look out Of joint;
1t is one of those things that woman can't do.
II she goes to the play,
In the night time day,
The hat she will wear hides the stage from your
view;
And to think those behind
To look on are inclined
Is one Of the things that woman can't do
II she goes out to spend
A few hours with friend
She can't keep her tongue still minute or two.
And no note she'll address
Is wi bout its p S.
For that's one OF the things that o woman can't
do.
