CRADLE SONG.

In the garden of dreamland flower ever
grows.
In form like lily. in hue like rose,
I with odor like jessamine sprinkled with dew
And it bourgeons and blossoms, my darling,
for you.
Then travel, my baby. to Dreamland.
Slowly rock, cradle, TO carry the baby;
Steadily, readily rock, and it may be,
Ere she shall know it, the baby will go,
Happily smiling, to Dreanlland.

thrilling there in the moonlight, beautiful
bird:
And it sings, and it sings all the pleasant night
through,
And its music, my darling, is only for you
Then travel, my baby, to Dreamland.
Slowly rock, cradle, to carry the baby,
Steadily. readily rock, and it may be,
Ere she shall know it, the baby will go,
Happily smiling, to Dreamland.
Tomorrow, my darling, refreshed by her rest,
With the bird in her hand, and the flower Oh

Shall return to her mother, and frolic and
crow,
But tonight on her journey to Dreamland must
go.
Then travel, dear baby, to Dreamland.
Slowly rock. cradle, TO carry the baby,

DAYS That Steamers SAIL.

A correspondent asks the following cues
ton:
Can you tell me why it is that with at
least ten steamers per week leaving this
port for Europe, the only days, so far as l
have been able 20 learn, when mail Is taken
are on Wednesdays and Saturdays, In
other words why is it that all the lines
send their vessels on these days, so that
there are sometimes five or six steamships
leaving the same day and no more till the
following Wednesday or Saturday. 1t
would certainly be a great convenience,
and it seems very strange that it is not so
arranged, TO have steamers for Europe
leave every day in the week, or at least on
Mondays and Thursdays as wen as on
Wednesdays and Saturdays.
II hope you can give me some explana-
ton of the present strange arrangement Of
sailings."
The explanation is briefly as follows: It
is the transportation of,sargoes which has
TO be most considered in the arrangement
of steamship schedule. Experience has
proved that Wednesdays and Saturdays are
the most advantageous days for sailings, q
day in the middle of the week and the last
day. All large lines now run on a four
WSCAS schedule. a sIilP lcAslHS new 4ork
on Monday would not be able to receive
and store cargo the day before sailing
Tuesday would give her only one day i'm
mediately preceding the sailing for the re-
ception Of cargo
In short, the object is TO get the day OF
sailing on both ends of the line as far away
from the previous Sunday as possible, aud
Wednesdays and Saturdays have been
found the best days for sailings. In sum
mer, when the rush Of transatlantic trade
Is ar its height, it has been found necessary
TO have ships sailing OF other days in order
to accommodate the increased traffic Thus
IN one week steamers carrying mails 70
England left this port on Tuesday, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Saturday, only two
week days, Monday and Friday. being with
out mail steamer for Europa.

Emperor Wilhelm's Body Guard.

The personal body guard of the emperor
of Germany, members of which accompany
him on his rides and excursions, consists
of fifteen stalwart young foresters, all Of
whom have been trained under officials in
the royal forests. After serving their three
years in the army they are ''picked" by a
court martial and personally presented to
the emperor, who selects those that seem
fttest to be his personal attendants
The rule is that after a term OF service
from nine to twelve years they are allowed
to retire, when a position as forester is
given them in the royal forests. The yoke
of service rests lightly on the body guards,
for they are on duty only every fifth day

The electric pinnace designed for the
English government for the conveyance
of troops is likely to effect revolution in
crafts used for the purpose, for the propul-
sion of which steam has heretofore been
used. The new launch is 4S feet inches
in length by feet inches beam, with an
average draft of 8 feet inches, and viii
carry forty soldiers fully equipped.
Her speed will be eight knots an hour.
and she is so fitted as to be either sailed or
propelled electrically. The actual cost of
propulsion is not greater than that of
steam vessels with similar carrying capac-
ity, and there is to be taken into consid-
Grafton the great advantage that no skilled
hands are required for stocking and engi-
neering purposes.-New York Telegram.

A TeIenhona Cahia.

The Paris-London telephone cable con-
tains four conductors, which give two COM

weighing 160 pounds TO the mile composes
each conductor. Each strand is covered
with alternate layers of a composition and
gutta percha The four conductors are
twisted spirally round each other to pre-
vent induction, and these ara in turn COW

of this there is covering composed of six

Earer to Helm His Friends.

He had obtained place in real estate

for the interests of his employers. The
other evening he was at a social gathering
and was asked TO sing. He responded with
Home, Sweet Home" His friends were a
little surprised at the selection, but he was
heartily applauded. Stepping forward, he
said: Il am glad you liked the song. There
is nothing like Home, Sweet Home and
let me say that the company represent is
selling homes on terms TO suit within
twelve minutes ride OF the city. Everybody
ought to have home. If you don't want

A Remarkable Product.

within the last few years, is, in many re-
spects, the most remarkable of the many
odd materials found in coal. First, it is
the sweetest known substance. One-half
pint of it in $4,000 pints of water will give
the water a sweet taste equal to one part of
cane sugar in $50 parts of water; a solution
of one pint of saccharin and 2, 500 gallons
of water is intensely sweet. In appearance
it is white crystalline powder. Its scien-
tific name is benzoyl sulphonic amide.-St.
