Dancing Under the Pines

In OR Adirondack camp dances under
the pines were never-to-be-forgotten en-
joyment. AS we were all fond Of dancing,
these rural hops were INDUCED in, SO that
it was necessary to have platform built
for that special purpose. Numberless
Chinese lanterns were hung on the
branches above, and the huge trees en-
circled our ballroom with weird charm.
Our invitations were written on pieces of
birch bark and delivered by the guides to
our friends when one of these fetes was
about to occur. At s o'clock the guests
would arrive, the men arrayed in pic
turesGue tennis suits and the girls in all
their finery. Muslin dresses that had lain
asleep all summer were permitted to grace
the vanities of the world once more
Our orchestra consisted of two fiddles
and cornet, which were played by the
guides with exhilarating effect. Waltzes
and polkas followed in rapid succession.
but we usually ended our dances with a
good old fashioned Virginia reel What
soft lights the lanterns shed, and how like
wood nymphs the girls looked, stepping
out, as it seemed, from the very trees them
selves.-Jessamy Harte in Ladies' Home

/ ON BOARD AN OCEAN STEAMER.


The One Great Danger Dreaded by the
CAPTAIN Is Possible Collision.
Ships may go and come and the nature
OF their material and style of construction
alter with the lapse of ages, but the old
saying that he who ventures upon the
ocean has but plank between himself
and eternity is as true today as in the time
Of the early navigators. The ''fireproof"
marine fabrics have been weighed in the
balance of actual test and found wanting,
and the unsuitable" ships have gone to
the bottom taking their water tight bulk
heads with them.
Many of the picturesque features Of the
| ocean have vanished, and along wig, them
| much that was untrue, fantastic and alb
| surd. 1t has been said that to our fortu-
nate generation the landsman's idea of the
sea is narrowed to the fleeing glance which
| he obtains of it as he is hurried across its
| bosom on a magnificent steamship, sur
rounded by all the luxuries of a first class
| hotel.
But the passenger who sees in the
| bronZed and quiet countenance of his skip
! per no trace of anxiety nor hint of the
vigil which began when the lines were
cast off, and who wishes to appreciate the
| qualities of the man on whose Judgment
and skill so much depends, should go on
deck some dark and silent night when
nothing is visible except the occasional
| shower of sparks whirling to leeward from
| the tunnels.
The horizon is only biscuits throw
away, and the waves rolling dark and
heavy from out the folds of darkness throw
fitful and ghostly radiance as they break
| against the sides in phosphorescent lines.
The eye of the lookout strives in vain to
pierce the thickness which hangs over the
water like an impenetrable veil. His sense
Of hearing is equally on the alert, but the
ear catches no sound save the swash of
waters dashing against the bow. Suddenly
there is a faint CLEAN of light directly
ahead. It requires but moment to de-
ternine its color and another to apprise
the silent and watchful figure on the
bridge There is no time for elaboration
The thought, decision and action must
come at once if disaster is to be avoided.
For one brief instant the vessel looks
death in the face, and the next grazes it as
| by hairs breadth.
This danger of collision is unquestion-
| ably the one most feared by the command
ers of modern steamships, and there is not
one of these whose mind is not haunted by
tnlS peru whichever HIS SHIP Is cduSHG III d
fog Or is pushing her way across the wa
tiers during a thick and starless night. In
moment the shadows may evolve a hid
den danger, and any one of dozen circum-
stances cause the mighty fabric to join
the green navy moldering in the oceans
depths.
Yet accidents are comparatively infre-
quent, and if one will but give the subject
a moments thought he cannot withhold
unstinted praise to the lines whose vessels,
year after, emerge unscathed from the
many perils encountered in the course of
their numerous voyages. = New York

The Universal AIosauito.

81 have been as far south as Patagonia
and as far north as Iceland" said Captain
Frank Bowers, ''and l have yet to find {
country that is not infested by mosquitoes
It is the general opinion that these pests
are confined to warm countries, but that is
a mistake. In the short summers of Ice
land they fairly swarm, and man may gel
all the bites he can take care of in The
Straits Of Magellan if he goes there at the
proper time. Mexico was terra incognita
to the mosquito until a few years ago, but
he is plentiful enough there now. 1t is
said that they were imported, with much
other live stock, from the United States

A Soldiers Experience.

In General Moore's command was an
Irish soldier who, having been asked if the
Hollanders were hospitable people, inn
mediately replied: ''They are that. Toe
much so. Oh was in the hoshpital all the

This criticism is quite on par with that
of the Englishman who objected to the
French because he said the stupid idiots
couldn't understand their own language
when he spoke it to them.-Harper's Young

WITHOUT a COUNTRY.
A Monarch Who Has Abandoned All HIS
Possessions

ROSHe3AlOnR
Milan, the former king Of Servia, oc-
cupies ut the present moment the most
extraordinary position which it is
possible to conceive, says the New York
Recorder He has abandoned not only
all his rights as member of the reign
ing house of Servia, as well as his prop
erty, honors, and dignities in the king.
dom. but he has even renounced his
citizenship and undertaken never again
TO set his foot in the country. There is
some talk Of his becoming naturalized
rs Russian, but he has not done SO
yet, and accordingly he is just now
without any nationality or civil status
OF any kind. He is without what the
French describe as an etat civil, and is,
10 all intents and purposes, an outlaw,
since he possesses no legal rights of any
kind whatsoever. He is the most home
less and abandoned of creatures, and
his position is so abnormal that the
emperor Of Austria has deemed it
necessary to deprive him of the honorary
colonelship OF the Austrian regiment of
infantry which he has hitherto held and
10 remove his name from the Austrian
army list II is the first time that a
ising has ever placed himself in such +
,2redicament as that of the cx-rnona-
uf Servia, and 1t is to be hoped that
will not constitute Il pre- ctl,ns.
