GLADSTONE AND THE QUEER.

Tho Former Very Cordially Received by
the Roya, Family at Osborne House.
LONDON, Aug. 22-An authority who is
thoroughly familiar with everything at
court stated, apropos of the many reports in
circulation regarding Mr.. Gladstone's visit
to the Queen at Osborne House, when he
accepted office, that there was nothing to
show the leader was not thoroughly persona
grata to the Queen and other members of
the royal family present at Osborne House.
On the evening of the day Of his visit Mr.
Gladstone sat for two hours in conversation
on the terrace with the Prince of Wales.
His interview with Her Majesty was espec-
tally cordial, and the Queen in no way
showed the dislike which is commonly at
tributed to her
In consequence of letter from Henry
Labouchere, stating that the Queen had op-
posed his nomination as a member OF the
new ministry, the Liberal-Radical Asso-
citation of Northampton, which constituency
Mr.. Labouchere represents in the House of
Commons, has issued summonses\ to the
other Radical Associations of the country
to join with it in an indignation protest.

NATIONAL SONG FOR AMERICA.

The Richest Country on Earth Withou:
Simple Tune OF Its Own.
Zone of the commonest of proverbial ex-
pressions assumes that a song is the cheap
est of all things; yet the richest country on
earth is without national song. Thirty
years ago it offered $500 for one; but the
song was not forthcoming, though the con-
ditIon of affairs in our country seemed cal
culated to call forth all the lyric energy that
any poet possessed" says Rossiter John
son in ST. Nicholas.
eve have the 'Star-Spangled Banner
and sometimes we sing it and make our
selves think we are enthusiastic; but the
least critical of us feel that it is too clumsy
to be good song or good poem; and I
suspect it. has fault even more radical
than its uncouth rhythm. 1t is not good art
to make picture of picture or to SYM
bolize a symbol. Though the American
flag is to our eyes the most beauti-
shipping in any great seaport, and though
it represents the finest country and
the most progressive people on earth,
and though your heart sometimes comes to
your throat when you think what has been
achieved under it, still, it is only picture
and symbol No star-spangled rhymes, or
allegorical representation OF Freedom tear
ing the sky into strips of bunting, will ever
make an effective and enduring national
song. When the song arrives. we shall find
that it somehow deals directly with the
national power and destiny, not with any
conventional symbol or picture of it.
"Yankee Doodle has its uses as a tune;
but no words that are not doggerel ever
have been set to it, and it is doubtful if any
can be. Samuel Francis Smith wrote re-
spectacle hymn beginning My Country, It
Is of Thee But its candidacy for the
place of national song is killed at the out
set by the fact that is set to the tune of an
other nations hymn. Then, too, how should
we ask some millions of our citizens to sing
Land Where My Fathers Died. when they
left their fathers bones in various parts of
Europe?-or how expect much accent on
Land of the Pilgrims Pride from the
throats of those who take no pride in the
Pilgrims"

Detroit Branches Ask the Return of Funds
and the appointment of Receiver.
DETROIT, Aug. 22.-The fight against the
existence of the Order of the Iron Hall has
extended to this city. 1t consists of two
suits against the order, both of which have
been carefully suppressed. These suits
have been brought by former members re-
spectively of branches No. 1 and No S15
The allegations in both bills are identical in
the main.
1t is asserted that the supreme sitting of
the order has placed in Philadelphia bank
which is now insol vent S720, 900, and that
this amount is liable to be lost to the or
ganization. Branch 1, it is declared, has
S12, 900 and $4,000 in cash and securities
deposited in Detroit banks, while branch
S15 has s., ,659 The complainants say that
it is desired by the members generally that
these funds be returned to them in Just
proportions. Each bill asks the Court to
appoint receiver for the branch concerned.
Judge Bregoort has issued an injunction to
restrain the disbursements Of any funds and
the transfer of securities until after hear
ing can be had.

TWO GREAT OCEAN cURRENTS
Due to Their Dir cion, They influence the
Climate of Am erica.

Due to Their Direction, They influence the
Climate of Americn.
Gall the superficial parts of the Western
Atlantic, except the portion of its area next
the coast of America, are pervaded by slow
movement which sets the water toward the
Poles This current is due to the Gulf
Stream, wi hich, emerging from the tropics as
deep, narrow, switt-moving tide skirts the
southern coast of the United States, gradu-
ally widens like an opened fan, diminishing
in depth and losing its velocity as it comes
toward the Arctic Circle" says Prof.
Shaler in Scribners Magazine
''Setting out into the Atlantic from Davis
strait, there is, however, a strong stream of
Arctic water, which in part slips under the
Gulf Stream tide, and in part flows on the
surface of the sea next the Labrador coast.
In this southward-setting current the foe
ice drifts with speed of about a mile an
hour down the American shore until it
attains the mouth of the st. Lawrence The
Labrador current, as this southward-moving
water is called, would, but for certain ac-
cidents of geography, send this floe-ice
much farther to the southwark than it now
does.
eff Newfoundland and Nova Scotia should
disappear, so that there could be nearly
straight shore from Greenland to Massachu-
setts Bay, it is likely that these foes would
in large quantities attain to the coast of
New England, and give to the shore lands
of that part of the continent the sub-Arctic
and inhospitable climate OF the islands of
the Eastern St. Lawrence. This shore cur
rent bears few true icebergs with the foo
ice for the reason that these greater ice
islands are formed altogether on the Green
land shores, and, pressed to the eastward by
the prevailing winds, do not come into that
superficial, shore-skirting Labrador cur
rent -

SHE IS A STAGE DRIVER.
A Nervous Little W oman Who Is Master

A Nervous Little Woman Who Is Master
at Handling the Horses.
San Francisco Examner.1
A peculiarly nervous little woman, with
dark auburn hair and flashing black eyes, is
often registered at the Grand Hotel in this
city. She is Mrs. H. j. Langdon, of Lassen
county, the woman stage driver OF the
Sierras; but she is more than driver of
stages; she is an owner. Her stage lines ex-
tend for several hundred miles throughout
the mountains, and she owns scores of
horses and vehicles, and carries the United
States mails, as we'll as hundreds of pas
sengera
Her husband died few years ago, and
she took hold and managed and extended
the business aforesaid Mrs. Langdon has
taken many mail contracts from the Gov
ernment, and is well known at Washington,
D. c., which city she often has occasion to
visit in connection with her mail contract.
Recently she had some correspondence with
Postmaster General Wanamaker in regard
to his method of awarding contracts, in
which she expressed herself in q manner to
attract the attention of the entire country.
Mrs Langdon is reported to be as good a
judge of stock as any man in the stage
business She knows also the opportune
moment when to grease wagon, oil
harness, aud generally to keep in touch
with the stage business SO as to make it sue
cessful.
Her stage lines extend over some of the
ruggedest routes in the Sierras and again
across plains, like those about Susanville.
Plumas county has several of Mrs. Lang
don's lines She delivers mails and passen-
gers promptly, and by reason of her skill
in taking contracts and her ability in exc
cutting them has become noted for her pluck
and enterprise. She is said to BE- an excel
lent whip and to be able to manipulate the
lines of four or more horses about as easily
as the famous Hank Monk used to do ON the
old Geiger grade.

THE HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS
Traditions of the Choctaws rs to the Life
Beyond This World.

| Traditions of the Choctaws rs to the Life
Beyond This W orld.
Parsons weekly.J
From their earliest traditions the Choc-
taws have been taught to believe in life
after they leave this world. They believe
that the spirit, the moment that it leaves
the body, is compelled to travel long dis
tauce to the west until it arrives at an i'm
mense chasm, at the bottom OF which flows
very rapid, rocky and dangerous stream.
This terrible gorge the soul has to cross
on '1ong and slippery pine log, with the
bark peeled Of" the only passage to the
'happy hunting grounds, which lie be-
yond the dangerous bridge.
On the bank of the stream, Just on the
other end of the log, there always stand six
persons, who have reached the "happy
hunting grounds, and who throw sharp
rocks at whoever attempts to cross the
treacherous log the moment the middle of it
is reached.
Those who have lived properly have no
trouble in crossing the log; the stones fall
harmlessly from them, and they reach the
"happy hunting grounds, where there is
perpetual day, without difficulty. There
the trees are ever green, the sky cloudless,
and the breeze always gently blowing;
there, too, continuous feast and dance are
going on; the people never grow old, but
live for ever, and revel in perpetual youth.
The wicked, when they attempt to cross
the dangerous bridge, can see the stones
which are thrown at them, and in trying to
avoid them will fall from the giddy height
into the awful gorge thousands of feet below
the slippery log, where rushing, boiling
stream is turning over the great sharp rocks,
filed with dead fish and animals which are
continually brought to the same place by
the eddies and whirlpools.
There all the trees are dead, the waters in
tested by poisonous snakes, toads and other
repulsiye-looling reptiles; the dead are ever
hungry. but have nothing o eat are always
i'll, but never die. There is no sun, and the
wicked are constantly climbing up by
thousands on the side of high rock, from
which they can overlook the beautiful coun-
try OF the good hunting grounds, the abode
of the happy, but can never reach it"

FOOD THAT WILL BEAUTIFY.

Indulging in Too Rich Sweets May Spoil a
woman's Complexion.
cit cannot be doubted that what one eats
will make or mar the skin," writes Mrs.
Mallon in the August Ladies' Home Journal
''The famous French writer on food, Brillat-
Savarin, says, 'Rich food makes beautiful
women But this was badly translated he
meant by it, not rich as indicating greasy
or oily, or heavy food, but he meant good
food, that which is properly cooked and
which is fresh. The pale, pasty complexion
of many of our women Is ttributed, with
out any extra thought, to too much pastry,
too many sweets, over-done meat and an in
sufficient quantity of fresh vegetables The
green salad in any shape, from the long
curling lettuce leaf to the crisp little water
cress, is constant beautifier, and more
than this, regularly eaten, it quiets your
nerves and gives you pleasant sleep. But
if you flood it with vinegar and powder it
with sugar you have simply made for your
self a dish that will have no effect npon you
whatever, unless it should be by the force
of the vinegar to break the enamel of your
teeth.
'erhe right way for you to eat this most
beautifying of dishes is to have upon it q
good French dressing, that is, one formed of
pepper, salt, small portion OF vinegar, and
a large portion of good sweet olive oil; If
you do not care for this then eat your salad
as did the hermits of old, dipping leaf in
some salt and having with it piece of bread
and butter. All fresh vegetables, especi-
ally asparagus, tend to improve the skin.
do not say give up all sweets, but I do say
eat them in their proper place; that is, after
you have had your dinner and when you
will not require great quantity. Pastry,
if eaten at all, must be so light that it is
above reproach; then it will not have any
apparent effect on the skin, but it Will tend
to fatten you."

Lady Whose Bones Snap Like GLASS;.
Very Peculiar Case.

A Lady Whose Bones Snap Like Glass--A
Very Peculiar Case.
PARKERsBURG, w. VA. Aug. 22.-There
is attracting the attention of the
medical fraternity of this whole Sec
tion of the country. 1t is case
of general bone-breakIng, without
any apparent cause. Mrs. Kelly, wife of
Peter Kelly, well-known citizen, is the
victim of this peculiar disease, which the
local surgeons and doctors, for want of q
better name, call fragilitas ossium.
Mrs Kelly, who Is a delicate lady, was
just getting around after long and serious
illness, when few nights since she got out
of bed and started downstairs to get q
drink of water When but few steps
down one of the bones of her right
leg broke with peculiar glass
like snap, without having come in contact
with anything and from no apparent cause.
She called her husband, and be picked her
upsand started back toward the bedroom
with his wife, when the bones of her right
and left arm broke in several places with
the same peculiar snap heard and felt by
the woman when the first fracture occurred.
Mrs. Kelly was carried TO her bedroom
and laid on her bed, when the bones of her
left leg broke in the same manner. A
surgeon was Immediately sent for. He set
the broken limbs and bandaged them. Mrs.
Kelly said that she felt no pain when any
of the fractures occurred, and that
the setting and bandaging of
her broken limbs occasioned her
not the slightest discomfort. The disease
is strange one, and the outcome is awaited
with great deal of curiosity and interest
The physicians say the bone-breaking is
naused hv de6cieuov IF animal opd a
perabundance of mineral matter in the
bones. They say the bones will knit very
rapidly, but that the disease is difficult to
cure
