Combat Of the Sea and snn.

For miles stretches floor of silver sand.
The sun has bleached the whiteness on
its face deathly pallor.
The sun aud the sea are foes aud their
battle-ground is that floor Of silver sand
for when the mighty wave dashes in to
cool the parched face and thirst of the sand
how quickly the sun blows with force its
heated breath and dries the moisture!
Then again for miles stretches a flow of
silver sand.
The knotted old pines on the knoll turn
their heads and bend their bodies from the
sea, and the tall, thin, burned brown grasses
lean inland and tremble at the cry of thirst
from the burning sand they live in, But
they are slaves. these trees and weeds
slaves to the sun, They dare not but fain
rebellion for the sea.
1t is only when the sun lowers its proud
and cruel head that these trees and grasses
raise their crooked forms and open their
mouths for the moist kiss of night; only
when the silver sand has slaked its thirst,
and the rising tide, unchecked by the sun,
has bathed it, is it these towards turn their
faces seaward.
What hypocrites, these slaves of the sum-
For on the morrow, when the day awakes
and the sun and the sea carry on their
never ending combat they play again their
part, with backs to the sea, while at their
feet for miles stretches a floor Of silver
sand. New York Herald.

The Saguenay, large river in Canada,
falling into the estuary of the st. Law
renee, on the north side, about 115 miles
below Quebec, is rightly reekoned as being
the deepest and most remarkable stream
In the world. Excepting in very few
places, where great ranges Of hills seem to
cross its bed, the average depth is 900 feet,
the bottom at the spot where it joins the
St, Lawrence being over 600 feet below the
bottom of the last named stream Thus a
low point of rocks at the shore, or an
island, is really the top Of moderate
sized mountain springing up from the
mysterious depths of this deepest of all
rivers. As the spring tides rise about
eighteen feet, the currents of this river are
violent and eccentric. In some places the
ebb stream runs four to six miles an
hour. The eddies along the shore are like
those of rapid, the undercurrent some
times laying hold Of vessel to turn her
about or to hold her in spite of all efforts
to escape.
Before the use of towboats ON the Sag
uenay, vessel left helpless by a calm
sometimes drifted against some submerged
mountain peak, aud, when the tide fell,
capsized in deep water An anchorage be-
ing very rarely found, large iron rings
have been set in the rocks which show
themselves above the water, and vessels
often tie up to these 'hitching posts" and
await Il fair wind. The tide of the Saguenay
for some unexplained reason, advances
with extraordinary rapidity, thus, not,
withstanding the fact that the ebb current
very rarely ceases to flow out of the river,
high tide arrives at Chicontimi only forty.
five minutes later than at Tadousac, sew
enty miles away. On the st. Lawrence the
tide advances in the same time only from
Tadousac to Murray Bay, thirty-fye miles
distant.-S Louis Republic

placer,s Big Cherry Trees.

In some remote age the deep, whirling
waters Of the American river at Monte
Rio washed out the rock layers of long
previous geological formation to the
depth of probably 200 feet or more, and
this excavation being filled to half its
depth by alluvial material from the
sides Of adjacent hills, formed deposit
over sixty feet deep and soma ten or
twelve acres in present area.
The waters Of the American now form
only small stream, the alluvial deposit
that has made the giant cherry tree
growth being ten or a dozen feet higher
than the usual current of the deep river
channel. The soil of Hector's cherry
orchard has been bored to over sixty
feet in depth without touching bed rock
or rock of any kind, the alluvial quality
continuing to this great depth. On
about four acres of this soil black Tar
tartan cherry trees were set in 1859 or
1868 by ancestral relatives of the pres
ent owner, several smaller orchards or
additions having been planted since.
There are l50 large trees that yield 40
boxes, or 400 pounds each, in alternate
years. The trees are kept trimmed Of
all dead wood and lime washed every
season, and are still making vigorous and
healthy growth. The tallest tree is 68
feet high, with head from 50 to 55 feet
In width, and over a score more of the
100 large trees are from 40 to 50 feet tall,
with corresponding width of top growth

tree is not very conspicuous, Country

How False Eyebrow. Are Made.

At a certain factory a number of young
women were working at small tables, each
table covered with little instruments and
odd things, which only those who knew
the business could possibly understand.
At one table two girls were threading
needles with fine, silky hair, and sewing
them in little squares on thin, transpar-
ent gauze
''Those girls" said the oyerseer, ''are
making some Of those beautiful arched
eyebrows you may sometimes see on the
stage They are frequently worn by both
actors and actresses. These sewed on the
net are the less expensive kind, and are
only used on special occasions. The real
brow is very expensive, and can only be
made by person of great skill
"The patient sits here in his chair, which
very much resembles dentists operating
throne. In this cushion to my left are
stuck score or so Of those needles you saw
being threaded. Each stitch only leaving
two strands of hair, to facilitate the opera.
tion number Of needles must be at hand:
As each thread of hair is drawn through
the skin over the eye. it is cut. so that when
the first stage of the operation is over it
leaves the hairs bristling out au inch or so,
presenting ragge,l, porcupine appearance.
Now comes the artistic work. The brow
must be ached and cut down with the ut
most delicacy, and number of hours is
required to do it.
Small as the eyebrows are, they are
very important in the makeup of the face.
You have no idea how odd one looks when
utterly denuded of hair over the eyes. The
process have described is painful, but it
makes good eyebrows and adds 100 per
cent. to the looks of person who was
without them, It is, too, much better than
the blackening and cosmetics so many peo-
pie use, especially people who have mere
pretense Of brows, comprising only few
hairs. "-London Tit,Bits.

The hot water cure for dyspepsia, indi-
gestion and kindred ailments Is by no
means a novelty, but the manner in which
1t is habitually practiced at the country
home of a wealthy New York business
man is certainly out of the ordinary. The
country home aforesaid is not more than
half an hours ride by rail from New York,
and it is very attractive resort for the
young friends Of the hospitable owner.
A few weeks ago member Of one Of the
athletic clubs in this city, young giant in
stature and second Gladstone in physical
health and vigor, received cordial invita-
tion to spend afew days at this country
mansion. He accepted with alacrity, and
presented himself before his host and host

WHEN The CAPTAIN IS ANXIOUS.


Storms-It Is Fogs That Alarm.
1t is not when the seas come pounding
over the bows that the captains face
lengthens. Even when it Ia necessary to
keep the passengers below, and the spray
is carried MS high as the foretop, his conf
dence in his ship Is unabated. His spirits
do not fall with the barometer, and though
the clouds hang low and the air is filled
with singing moisture flying like sleet
from the Kissing seat-even when boats
are torn out Of the davits, and iron bits
and ventilators are snapped from their
fastenings like pipe stems, he has no mis-
giving as to the ability OF the ship to
weather the gale or the flercest hurricane
that can blow.
Give him an open sea, without haze or
fog or snow, and neither wind nor wave
can alarm him. He knows very well, as
all who are experienced in such matters do,
that the modern steamers of the great At
lantic lines are so carefully constructed
and Of such strength that the laundering
OF one of them through stress OF weather
alone is well nigh inconceivable.
But when fog descends, then it is that
his face and manner change, and he who
has been the most sociable and gayest OF
men suddenly becomes the most anxious
and taciturn. His seat at the head of the
table is vacant; look for him and you will
not find him, as in fair weather, diverting
groups Of girls tucked up in steamer
chairs on the promenade deck, but pacing
the bridge and putting cigar which ap-
parently has not been allowed to go out
since it was lighted as the big ship backed
from her wharf into the North river.
Wherever and whenever it occurs fog is
source Of danger from which neither pru-
dence nor skill can guarantee immunity,
and whether the ship is slowed down or
going at full speed there is cause for fear
while this gray blindness battles the eyes.
With plenty of sea room the danger is
least, and it increases near land, especially
where the coast is wild and broken, like
that of Ireland and Wales, and where there
are many vessels as we'll as rocks to be
passed. William H. Rideing in Scribner's.
