THE funeral Of the late king Kalakaua
was especially sad. His Subjects did
not know of his demise, and before the
arrival of the Charleston, were erecting
triumphal arches and making every
preparation for a glad welcome to their
king. That evening the cabinet met
and proclaimed Princess LiliUkalini
queen of the Hawaiian Islands.

With love in many fashions when we InI

Love comes upon US with resistless power
OF curbless passion and with headstrong VIII;

Or calmly flows, rapid stream, and stlu
It comes with blesseoness unto the heart
That welcomes it Alright, or-bitter fate-
It wrings the bosom with so fierce smart
That love, we cry, is crueler than hate.
And then, ahl mel When love has ceaSeo "

Our broken hearts cry out for tenderness
We long for tenderness like that which hung
About us, lying on our mothers breast
A selfish feeling, that no pen or tongue
Can praise Alright, since silence sings IL pest
A love as far removed from passions heat
As from the chillness Of its dying fire;
A love TO lean on when the failing feet
Begin to totter and the eyes TO tire.
In youths brief heyday hottest love We seek
The reddest rose we grasp-0ut when II oles'

A "NOBLE" BEGGAR.
One of the Most Remarkable of the Sigh
of London.

One OF the Most Remarkable of the Sights
of London.
One of the most rem arkable specta-
cles one sees in London is that of q man
playing a barrel organ through the
streets. He is sometimes accompanied
by his vito, who gathers the pieces Of
money contributed by auditors.
The organ is particularly good one;
it must have cost small fortune, for it
has five cylinders and discourses fifty
tunes.
But the most remarkable feature of
all is the placard surmounting the Or
gan, and announcing that the man
playing the instrument is the son of an
Earl, compelled by parental harshness to
earn his living.
The placard speaks truly, for this &C.
centric person is the ViscOubt Hinton,
son of a noble Earl. This eccentric in
dividual quarrelled with his father four
teen years ago, and since then has led 8
life of vicissitude.
lie first took to Vocalism in the Lon
don music halls, and enjoyed fair
success, until finally his voice failed
him, and he had to adopt other means
for livelihood. It occurred to him to
turn troubadour; he secured a fine bar
rel organ on credit, and proceeded to
tour the highways and byways OF the
metropolis.
His two children were adopted by the
dowager Duchess of Cleveland, the son
is a subaltern in the Welsh fusileers,
| and the daughter is a. school.
Whenever Hinton's father comes to
.own, Hinton seronades the old gentle
man, grinding away for hours at time
! in the street in front of the hotel.
Now, fond OF music though he is, the
noble Earl does not particularly pine to
hear it discoursed by his scapegraca son
and heir at the business end OF hurdy-
gurdv; so, as you can perhaps imagine.
the noble Earl makes precious fow visits
| TO London, and when he docs come his
| stay is exceedingly brief.
AS for the Viscount Hinton, he pro-
fesses to be happy, and he certainly is
independent His habits arc good, and
| he is generous to fault Not long ago
he was grinding out his dolorous music
on the beach at -SOuthsea, when he saw
a harmonium player driven away from
her stand" by a party OF hoggtsh
minstrel performers. His compassion
was moved. Come here, miss" said
be kindly. "and I'll give way to you fol
awhile; we'll take turns, for surely
there's enough room here for US all
Every now and again Hinton donates
his services to some charitable object
at such times the placsrd on the organ
announces that "the Viscount Hinton
performs to-day for the benefit Of" such
or such an institution, and in this wise
he has turned over considerable money
to one hospital and another. Hinton
talks very temperately about his father
hopes that the old gentleman will live
many years; says he is in no hurry t.
succeed to the estates, as he and his
wife are making enough money to live
on.-Eugene Field, in Chicago News

VIA THE ALBERT LEA ROUTE,
o Iioht OF statlstlcaI research.

the light OF statistical research.
Before the British Association for the
Advancement of Science, at its recent
meeting, Mr.. Ravenstein, a well-known
statistician, estimated that, whereas
the total popul alton of the earth is now
a little less than one billion five hun
dred millions, there is room on the
earth for very nearly six billions of in
habitants.
That is to say, when the space on the
earth available for the support Of
human beings is fully occupied, it will
be found capable of maintaining four
and half billions more of people than
it now contains, or four times as many
people as there are now in the world.
This seems, at first glance, to be
very encouraging to the human race.
But Mr. Ravenstein says it is not, be-
cause the race is increasing, in these
days of civilization, security and easy
exchange among the nations, so very
much faster than it ever increased be-
fore that this margin will be exhausted
and the world be full in little over one
hundred and eighty years.
By the year 2072, according to Mr..
Ravenstein's calculations, the earth will
have the six billions of inhabitants who
are all that there is room for, and must,
as it were, hang out the sign: standing
room only" Living room there VIII
be none.
1t is interesting to know that there
were other men of science present at the
meeting of the British Association,
when these figures were given out, who
did not at all agree with Mr.. Raven
STEMS conclusions. They insisted that
it is impossible to calculate, at the
present time, what the ratio of increase
of the worlds population will be gen.
Grafton or two hence, or what are the
earth's real capabilities for sustaining
life. Not only may the ratio of in
crease be sensibly altered, but the nour-
ishing capacity of the earth may be
added to many fold.-Christian Union.
