To the summer visitor III Sweden there

total absence of night AT Stockholm,
the Swedish capital, the sun goes down
a few minutes before 10o'clock and rises
again four hours later during greater
part Of the month Of June. But the four
hours the sun lies hidden iii the frozen
north are not hours Of darkness-the re-

as q cloudy midday, and enables one to

ODE TO 4 MODERN SHIP.

Child of the dismal mine.
Compact Of chilly steel.
Plowing the brinei
Thou canst not surely feel
That sense divine
Which, urged By sail and oar,
The good ship felt of yore,
Constructed. deck to keel,
Of Pontic pine
Then every seasoned PLANK
That sailed the sea
Rose softly, softly sank,
Riding The waves In bu0yant majesty.
And fair white sails
Tall spars With streamers decked,
Bent ID the rising gales.
That with crisp foam the heavinz ocean
flecked.
But thee tile summer breeze.
The roaring winters blast
That bows the trees,
Move not. thou steamest psst
In spite Of these.
Not as in days Of old
Nor in the snltry hold.
With sulen wheeze,
Thy furnace fierce is coaled,
And grimy hands thypulsing pistons grease.

me Bridgeport papers exaggerated the
 meeting of the New Milford special north and milk south at this station, last week
 Thursday night. The milk was late and,
 instead of meeting Gene Barton's train at
 Trumbull, had orders to meet it at Lonp Hill. Dick Ives YVES on the milk, which slowed up as it approached Parlor Rock and proceeded cautiously toward the sta tion. But the rails were wet and the grade is steep so that the brakes on the heavily loaded milk train failed to work as they should and the train slid down into the station, whereas it should have stopped above it, as the New Milford special had orders to back on to the switch track at the upper end. Engin- eer Nicholson of the milk has been laid off pending an investigation, but. as both trains expected to meet there, the talk of any very serious danger is bosh.

Perhaps no greater interest has beer manifested in any event since the great ] nominating conventions than was shown in the bicycle race of some of our Dan. bury cyclists, the other day, from South Norwalk to Danbury, P ? miles. They covered the distance in an average time of about one hour and 35 minutes. It was prize race, the prizes being gold and silver medal. Seven entered the race; two fell out. Their coming in was witnessed by crowd. The five who came in, completing the race, made the time as follows: K. Hill, 31 19; F. Borman, 3l 20; w. Cox, 37 l2; R. Blackman, l 37 13; o. Reynolds, IS 20.

bowed in sweet submission. Though having everything to make life desirab le and clinging to the tender ties that bound her to home and friends. she could yet say with the Master, "Not my will, but Thine be done." She bore pa- tiently the sufferings allotted her and, in the possession of Ca reasonable and re- ligious hope" waited the coming of the dark messenger. The words of Scrip ture that were last upon her lips were these, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, will fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me-" For over 40 years, she had lived quiet, happy, useful life in the beautiful home that is now made lonely by her depar- ture. She leaves blessed memories and influences and, we doubt not, has enter ed the rest that remains for the people of God.

 The florist bowed low.
 i've want the conservatory nearly flled," went on the young lady; "and to hire an orange tree in fruit for the evening"
 ssBut ma 'am, I am afraid-''
 "Expense in no object" emphatically pronounced Miss Ferningham. My aunt says-''
 But here she checked herself, at the same second fixing her eyes, with a strong glare of naughty surprise, on a tall, slender girl who stood behind the counter busily making bouquet from the piles of pale, fragrant violets, crim- son rose buds, feathery stephanotis and scarlet carnations that lay in perfumed drifts on their beds of wet moss. She was very pretty, or, to speak more correctly, beautiful, with pure Greek fea- lures, black hair knotted low at the back | of her head, and large almond shaped eyes, with the least possible haughtiness in the droop of their white lids. Her dress was of black silk, with lace frill at the throat and wrist, and large brown gingham apron was fastened about her to protect her from the moist nre of the flowers.
 M iss Ferningham stared at her, as if, like ancient Medusa, she would trans form her to stone, but the fair disciple of Flora took no sort of notice of the fos- silizing look.
 ssHave you a small pink camelia, MT Hardie?'' she asked, as she went briskly on twisting vine stems around the flowers and slipping bits of green fern and dain- ty geranium leaves among them, to re- lieve too great exuberance of color.
 ssHere is one,'' said the florist. ssTake care, you are getting that bouquet too stiff.''
 No, am not L0ok.'
 She held up the rainbow tinted mosaic of flowers as she spoke.
 Miss Birmingham gave great snuff of contempt as she turned away.
 aYoull be sure to remember?'' said she to the proprietor.
 II shall not forget, MT Hardie answer ed, courteously. Except the orange tree in fruit, I am not certain that-''
 i've must have ti'' insisted Miss Fer ningham. 1T tell you again that your bill will be promptly settled, whatever the amount may be-"
 And then Miss Ferningham, stepping into her silk cushioned landau, bade the coachman drive home, at once.
 She hurried up stairs to her aunt's boudoir, where that august lady sat, by crested envelopes, perfu- med paper and fancy writing materials. 1
