Dream--Land.

Up anchor! Up anchor!
Set sail and away!
The ventures of dream-land
Are thine for a day
Yo, heaye no.
AlOft and allow
Elf sailors are singing,
Yo, heave no!
The breeze that is blowing
So stnrdily strong
Shall fill up thy sail
With the breath of 4 song.
A fay at the masthead
Keeps watch DER the sea;
Blown amber of tresses
Thy banner shall be;
Thy freight the lost laughter
That sad souls have missed,
Thy cargo of kisses
That never were kissed.
And no, for ! fay maid
Born merry in June,
Oflusty red roses
Beneath u red moon.
The star pearls that midnight
Casts down on the sea,
Dark gold of the sunset
Her fortune shall be.
And ever she whispers,
More tenderly sweet,
"Love am 1, love only,
Love perfect, complete.
The world is my lordshIp,
The heart is my slave;
I mock at the ages,
laugh ut the grave.
Wilt sail with me ever,
A dream-haunted sea
Whose whispering waves
Shall murmur to thee
Dead poets have made
Ere life had a fetter,
Ere love was afraid"
Then up with the anchor
Set sail and away!
The ventures of lOve-land
Are thine for 4 day.

How the King of Siam Chooses His
Elephants.

When the herd entered the wide
mouth of the funnel that narrowed
down to the stockade,it became fran
tic with rage and terror. Dozens at
a time stood on their hind legs, wav-
ing their trunks wildly, and below
ing with open mouths. The panic
became terrific. In the ensuing crush,
the mothers steadfastly guarded their
young. Many baby elephant stood
bleating beneath its mothers chest,
protected by her strong fore legs, her
active proboscis and her body set as
a bulwark for its defense. In many
cases two mothers united in the care
of some little one. Shoulder to shout
der they leaned over the voungster
that was between them, and shielded
it under frightful pressure and peril,
with a courage and calmness. So
perfect was the protection of the ba-
bies, that more than a score of these
some weaklings no larger than
sheep-survived the crush of entrance
into the stockade, while ten full
grown elephants were therein killed.
Once within the stockade the mad
dened herd rushed round and round
the arena. AS they passed and re-
passed the stand, the official, a con-
noisseur of elephants, indicated to
the hunters, which ones were to be
taken. When these happened to
come upon the outside Of the swirling
mass. and near the circumference of
the enclosure, they were lassoed
around the ankles as they raised their
feet in walking, and the cables which
formed the nooses were made fast to
the posts of the stockade. Several
cables bound the feet of each captive,
and held him from further travel with
his companions. Having secured as
many elephants as would be required
bv the government for several years,
the remainder of the herd was led out
upon the plain, where few more
were lassoed for sport. One frenzled
animal came trumpeting up the steps
of the stand occupied by the officers
and guests. The official shouted com
mands to hunters gentlemen climb
ed pillars; ladies' mounted tables, land
shrieked; CONSERVATION reigned I'M
til the hunters scaled the stand, and
with their sharp goads prodded the
intruder off to a safe distance.
The dismissed elephants gradually
made their way to the jungles, there
to feed and grow until the king
should appoint another hunt. The
prisoners would be tanned and then
used in lifting lumber, in carrying
goods and travellers across the coun-
trv. and in war. The trained beasts
are manifestly larger, stronger, health
| Ter. and wiser than their fellows.
They battle, eat, exercise, and sleep
regularly, and apparently gain much
in cunning and sagacity under hui
man instruction.

1t seems probable that in the waves
of the largest size commonly met the
height does not exceed one-twentIeth
of the length, and the highest limit OF
steepness in waves, which are large
enough TO influence considerably the
behavior of ships, does not give ra-
ito of height exceeding one to ten.
Waves from 800 to 900 feet in length
are sometimes encountered having
heights of from five to ten feet only.

The atmosphere of London is SAID
to be gradually becoming more and

attributed in a large measure to the

Observations of the Muir Glacier

Sometimes they come tumbllng down

The moon revolves around the
earth. and the earth, carrying the

three revolves around the largest.

About ten days ago the splendid business
block in Minneapolis owned by Sol Smith
Russell was completely Quilted by fire.
The amount of insurance was SO small that
the loss bore heavily upon the comedian,
who happened to be playing at that time
in the New England circuit. In short, the
misfortune weighed upon Mr.. Russell, pre-
cipitating kind of melancholy that BODIED
ill. In vain his friends sought to cheer
him; an impenetrable gloom settled down
over the once merry comedian, and no
human power seemed capable of dissipat-
ing it.
When, however, the city of Troy was
reached. a batch of letters from home were
found there awaiting the gentle Soils ar

his little seven-year-old daughter; it had
been written the day after the fire and it
read in this wise:

How . Woman Detects Counterfeit.
General Spinner. when treasurer Of
the United States, once said: "A man
will examine a note Systematically and
adduce logically from the imperfect en-
craving, blurred vignette or indistinct
signature that it is counterfeit, and he
will be wrong four cases out of ten. A
woman picks up note, looks at it in
an apparently careless manner after
her own fashion, and says: That is
counterfeit. 'Why?' the division chief
will ask, and she will be sure to answer,
Because it is, and she is right eleven
cases out of twelve"
1t would be wrong to say that these
discoveries are the result of chance.
They come from keen perception, fine
eyesight, delicate touch and long ac-
quaintance with the work. There is in
one of the bureaus today woman
whose division chief says that her daily
average of work is nearly three times
that of man who has been assigned
to the same duty, and who sits in the
same room, yet the man gets twice the
pay. Washington Cor. Boston Journal.

General z, an old officer o
Spain, had a daughter who fell in Low,
with her fathers adjutant. There wa
no, good reason against the match, bu
the general refused his consent, and the

From the hour of their marriage he
would not recognize their existence
The son-in-law and the father fought
side by side in several battles. But
neither recognized the other.
At last the adjutant SO distinguished
himself that his friends pressed the
general to apply for his son-in-law's
promotion.

went without him, and brought back
