HE SAW THE KING.
1t Took Both Pluck and Nerve, But
This Boy Had Them.


Emerson's saying that a boy is the
true democrat was illustrated by the
adventure of a Maine sailor lad. He
was at Christiania and made up his
mind that he would see the celebrated
Swedish king Oscar. Accompanied
by another boy from the same ship.
says the Youths Companion, Jack
Branscombe he walked to the palace
and found it surrounded by Il moat
that looked impossible. But the boy,
whose perseverance and courage
merit commentator. haweyer his as
surance may seem to observe rebuke,
would not be baked After some
search he discovered under the moat
narrow tunnel leading into the royal
gardens.
The mouth of the tunnel was choked
with rubbish, but the young sailors
made their way through and into the
gardens. Here they were at once sur
rounded by guards. who could not I'M
derstand their explanation but tried
TO conceal them from the view of an
approaching party.
The party were the king and his
retinue. Seeing the disturbance. a
gentleDan stepped forward and asked
what Nas the matter The Maine
boy s5ting as spokesmau-his COM
panion by this time shaking with fear
answered that they had come to see
His Majesty Oscar l. They were
from Boston, and on their return
home would like to tell their friends
that they had been face to face with
the king.
well answered the gentleman in
per ect English. you have seen him.
am the k ng" He gave the boys
several co MS as souvenirs OF the visit
III rty years afterward that sailor
lad. George c. Perkins had become
governor o Cali ornia. One day he
was on pilot boat bound for Mon t.
Grey and not ced that one of the sail
ors was cycling him intently.
WHO is the governor? What state
does he come irom?" asked the sa lor
of an officer.
From Maine " was the reply.
L thought knew him. You ask
him if he ever met a boy by the name
OF Jack Branscombe, who served on
board the Lena.
The governor at once came forward
and greeted his old shipmate who
thirty years before had trembled in
the presence Of royalty.

nArfLa N1rA A BEE.
A 0rssdy Hummins Bird who wanted
All the Honey.


An observer writes us that he is sat
isfied that there Is just as much rivalry
between humming birds and bees in
their quest for honey as there is be-
tween members Of tho human race in
their struggle for the good things of
life, and describes u recent quarrel he
saw in a Portland garden, where
hummirg bird with an angry dash ex-
pressed its disappr0val Of the presence
Of big bumblebee in the same tree.
The usually pugnacious bee inconu-
nentiy ned, but he did not leave the
tree. he dashed back and forth among
the branches and white blossoms, the
hummlng bird in close pursuit Where
will you find another pair that could
dodge and dart equal to these? They
were like flashes of light, yet the pur
suer followed the track of the pur-
sued, turning when the bee turned.
In short, the bird and the bee con-
trolled the movements Of their bodies
moro quickly and more accurately than
he could control the movements of his
eyes. The chase was all over in half
the time that it has taken to tell It,
but the excitement of a pack of hounds
after fox was no greater. The bee
escaped, the bird giving up the whole
chase and alighting on twlg. 1t
couldn't have been chasing the bee for
food, and there is no possible explana-
ton of its unprov oked attack except
that 1t wished to have all the honey
itself.

RIVERS.
Their Power of Cutting Through Walls of
solid Rock.

Their Power of Cutting Through Walls OF
solid Rock.
We frequently see statements and
estimates of the amount of sand and
mud that is annually carried into the
ocean By the great rivers of the world.
No one who has seen a suddenly
formed rain torrent cut 4 deep chan
mel in n roadway can doubt the power
of water to wear away the features of
the globe. In fact it has been esti-
mated that in about e. 600. 600 years.
if the present rate of denudation be
continued the whole surface OF the
earth will be smoothed off to one
general level.
But while it is easy to see how 4
river and its tributaries can readily
cut their way through ordinary soil
and sand, it is more difficult to con-
ceive the remarkable effects produced
by water which runs over a bed of
solid rock.
The Colorado river for instance,
flowing between lofty walls of rock
and upon rocky bottom, is still
deepening its channel
The explanation of the cutting
power OF the water of the Colorado
lies. as Rev. DR.. Hutchinson. the
geologist has pointed out in the fact
that it is charged with sand. brought
to it in great quantities by its tribu-
taries. This sand being swept down
the steep gradients Of the river
wears away the rocky bed as emery
dust wears stone
Thus nature assists Dature on all
sides, says the Youths Companion.
and the sand that frost and wind and
water have formed out OF the exposed
rock of the mountains becomes. in
turn. an instrument for channeling
and wearing away the better protected
rock of the valleys beneath.

BROKEN MEASURES.
ife is full Of broken measures,

Life is full OF broken measures,
Objects unattained;
Sorrows interwined with pleasures,
Losses of our costliest treasures,
Ere tho heights be gained.
Every soul has aspiration
Still dissatisfied;
Memories that wake vibration
or tho heart in quick pulsatiou,
At the gifts denied.
We are better for the longing.
Stronger for the pain;
Souls at ease are nature wronging-
Through the narrowed soil come thronging
Seeds, IN sun and rain
Broken measures, fine completeness
In the perfect whole;
Life is but day In feetness-
Richer in all strength aud sweetness,
Grows the striving soul.

THE HERorNEs OF SCOTT.
Sixteen Out of Thirty of the Fair Ones
Under Twenty.

Sixteen Out of Thirty of the Fair Ones
Under Twenty.
Out Of thirty of Sir Walter SCOTS
heroines sixteen are described as I'M
der 20. OF the other fourteen six are
undated. This leaves us eight, three
of whom are set down as over 20; two
start at one side of the line and are
carried over to the other; two are by
implication rather than by the inten-
ton Of the author taken out of their
teens" and one, Amy Robsart, is a
heroine ''of an uncertain age" since
she is historically a middle-aged ma
iron and fctitiously 4 youthful bride.
Of the six undated, the presumption
is altogether in favor of the earlier age.
A member once entertained the club
with the statement that nearly all
Scott's heroines are motherless.
They are girls who had grown up in
the companionship of uncles or
fathers, older men, and with an early
responsibility Of thought and action.
They have had to plan their own
wardrobes and decide upon their own
conduct toward their lovers. Some of
them have been behind the scenes OF
stirring political events Nearly all
have been thrown into situations
where they had to think for them
selves, to act with decision, and in
general to fulfill the whole duties Of
heroines. The heroiues of Scott are,
some of them, only lay figures, but,
at least so far as they have character,
they are women, and they justify the
deeds which are done to them.
