1t was ONE Of mickle might,
Who on a broomstick, trim and light,
Would often take an airing,
But pleasures tire us by degrees,
So this convenience ceased to please;
She wished to go seafaring.
She had no sailing TWO at all,
Nor any rowboat, large or small,
But, ah! she owned riddle.
She launched it forth by power Of WHOLE;
Like Gotham's wise men in the bowl,
She squatted in the middle.
can't tell how her voyage ended;
do not know which way it tended:
She may have gone a-whaling;
But like this ancient dame drift
On inky waves, and still make shift
To keep my riddles sailing.

bow. The high collar is faced with velvet, with cloth on the outside.
 The double breasted coat sketched is just the thing these days. The model is

In brown cloth and the seams are bound. The back and sides are so gored that the skirb is very full and flares somewhat. The fronts are turned back in revers and have 8 pocket on each side. The bretelle collar must be cut deep enough to meet the turn down collar and constitute the lining of the same.
 Redingotes are again worn. One styled the Russian is especially oozy as well as stylish. It is of heavy heecy deep red stuff and opens at the side over the bust line as did the late popular Russian blouse. The waist part is fitted snugly to two inches below the waist line and has a dou. ble breasted TOW of buttons. From this point the skirt falls free and loose, the eide opening being edged with fur. A eollarette cape is worn, coming over the shoulders and meeting at the collar, but not by some inches at the lower edges The triangle thus left is filled in by an un- der tab of the collsrette, and tab and cape are edged with fur. The same design it carried out with less elaboration in @ gar ment which is nothing lsss than Russian blouse made to reach the bottom of the skirt and provided with broad fitted belt which Is snug over the hips. A collsrette fastening on the shoulder Is added. The side opening of the redingote is followed by an edge of seal or of any shaggy fur. When seal is used the entire belt and col larette are made of 1t. Such long closks are made wide wsisted and are richly oom- fortable looking. FLoRETTE.

these, and of waterfalls, highest, slender est, fsrcest and most filmy in all the world. and SO great in number that they are stili unnamed and uncounted-
 The Songe ford cannot but be regarded as the most stupendous and often appsn- ing continuous spectacle so far accessible to the traveller in any part of the hAbitable globe. It Is practically sea waterway of more than one hundred miles in length, and with branches and manifestations of twice that distance split through almost solid mountain walls from four to six thousand feet In height Its waters are the deepest of all the Norwegian fords, while the shores afford infrequent anchor age. If by any means the water-bed of the Sogne ford could become dry, tourists could in many places look upon almost thousand feet above their heads. Few valleys open upon the Sogne; but trsmen- dous ehssms are constantly appearing. The pesssntry here huddle in almost inao- oessible places, long distances apart; and move to and fro between their tiny ham let's in boats built with rude sleeping &C., commodstions. At various places you will see bits of shelving rock to which their boats are tied at night. Near these are tiny caves or rock Assures used as huts and as kitchens in these trips of overnight du- ration.
 The scenery grows more grand and i'm posing as you proceed up the ford, reach ing perhaps its most sombre sublImity in the Nero ford, one of its branches. An other arm is the FiaerlAnds ford, near which are the vsstest snow-caVes sud Ice- fields of Norway and the romantic village Of Balholmen, scene of Frithofs Saga, where
 Birch trees covered the mountain tops; on the
 sunny hill-slopes
 Ripened the golden barley and rye waved taller
 than giAnts;-
 and from its extreme eastern branch, the Ardsls ford, the third great waterfall of western Norway, the mighty Ysttifos Is reached; while through every opening to the north gre seen the gigantic masses of the Jostedsls glacier, the largest in Europe and covering sn area of five hundred square miles.
 In the amazing multiplicity of these scenes of beauty and grandeur there is one that will remain fAdeless in the travellers memory. It Is that one when in the dark less night of these northern lAtitudes as your steamer creeps along down there In the almost blsckened and Abyssmsl silence between these parted mountain valls, you look through their lifts towards heaven, and, knowing the night time hour, are given an indehnable hint in the splendor of the light still lingering tsnderly upon mighty mountain pezks, of that promIsed region of endless morning lands.

PREsIDRNT WHITNEY.


 MT. Eli Whitney, who has been the act ing president of the Water company since the death of MT. Dawson, has been made its president by the unanimous and harmoni ous action of the directors. Their choice is wise and natural, and both the company and the people who are served by 1t are to be congratulated. Almost forty years ago MT. Whitney was all the Water company there was in New Haven. In 1856 the original corporators assigned their charter to him, and he then, with abounding and characteristic energy, foresight and cour- age, reorganized the company, and began the great work which has done so much to make New Haven distinguished among cities for the quantity and quality of its water supply. In those days the New Haven Water company wasn't as popular with investors as it is now. The chief investor was MT. Whitney, who put into the con. struction account more than $75, 900 of his own money. This was casting money on the waters with vengeance, but his faith has been amply rewarded. and he has also had the great satisfaction of doing the public truly valuable service. The early trials and troubles of the Water company are hardly remembered now, but they were very discouraging and at times almost overwhelming. To MT. Whitney's energy, faith, courage, persistence and money the people of New Haven are more indebted than they realizs. And it Is peculiarly fitting that the man who upheld the Water company in its time of weakness and ad- versity should be It's president in its time of strength and prosperity.
 Being now free from the great business which occupied him for many years MT. Whitney can give undivided attention to the affairs of the Water company. They will profit by it, for he is a man of un- usual business ability, great thoroughness, and extensive knowledge concerning water supplies and water works. And we do not suppose that any Water company in the country has at its head 0 man more capable, both by nature and training, of dealing with the important mechanical and engineering problems which are constantly arising in connection with great water works. He will feel deep interest and a justi6able pride in exercising his remarka- ble talents and skill for the benefit of the company whose life he saved, whose pros perity he founded, whose growth he has been large part of, and which has hon. ored both him and itself by calling him tc 1 ha ita prasideut.

RED HAIRIN THE SOUP.

The meeting at the Grand Opera House yesterday afternoon didn't choose to &C., cept our suggestion and vote that only red headed workingmen be employed on the Manual Training School building, but as long as it didn't vote that any class of people should have the exclusive right to do the work we don't suppose we can fairly find any fault. We did our best though for the red-headed and we hope they will remember 1t. And we here and now re- iterate our earnest conviction that they are quite as much entitled to class legisla- tion in their behalf as Union labor Is.
 But in spite of our disappointment we feel that the action of the meeting was perhaps wise. If the red. headed had been favored this time it would have excited the jealousies of the crosse eyed or the knock kneed, and at the very next opportunity one or both of those classes would have asked for special legislation in their behalf. Their success would have encouraged the pigeon-toed to 1 ask for special fsvors, and then the lop- cared would have clsmored for something. So there would have been no end of dis l tu1bance, and of course each class would have had to be given what it wanted For if only one class were favored thii wouldn't be the free country that 1t is saii to be.
 "Our forefathers" evidently saw thu dangers of class legtslation, and so dit their best to provide against it. The. thought it would be better to put Uniol labor, the red-headed, the oross-eyed, tn knock -kneed, the pigeon-toed and the loI cared on an equality in thelaw, and not, b giving one class an advantage overs tn others, make that class an sristocracy. W can now see that they may have been wis' and that our zeal for the red-headed hs perhaps obscured our perception. W
 therefore shall not attempt by ipjunctio
 or mandamus, or any other legal weapo,
 to show that our forefathers and the
 painfully made Constitution were foolif
 and contrary to true freedom. We suepe
 that 1t is we who have been wrong and tn if we should make any further effort
 behalf of the red-headed we should only
 still further and still harder sat upon
 this truly democratic community.

PURLIC SPIRIT.

There was cheering exhibition of real public spirit at the school meeting yester- day afternoon. Most of the people who were there were there to resist an attack on principle which has done much to make this country what it is, and they were very much in earnest. Many were there at a sacrifice, but they subordinated their own interests to the public interest.
 It is fine thing for New Haven that so many of its people are ready to act for the public good. The thanks of the whole community are due them, and especially to their leaders, foremost among whom was Postmaster Sperry, who yesterday added one more proof to the many he has given that he is first class citizen and a true patriot. He Is also very skillful manager.

Some of Its Facts and Fancies.
 Written for the JOURNAL AND CoURIER.] THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF PHYSICAL
 EXERCISES.
 Since physical culture is more or less engaging the attention of young woman hood, and since its rules and practice as taught by the professors of that gentle sci ence are somewhat taxing to the average purse, it is pleasant to know that there are may be praoticed at home in the moet eco- nomical manner, and with very beneficial results.
 The International Domestic system of physical exercises is not new; 1t is survi- val and revival of ancient household a h. letics, never out of vogue and now about to become popular. It need not, however, supersede the Delsartian system, though it may supplement it admirably. A few of the principal movements peculiar to this system are given below. Should public interest demand, other descriptions may follow in this column.

Peeps at Norway-Days and Nights Along the wondrous Norwegian Fiords of Trondbjem, Geiranger, Sogne and Hardanger - Splendid
 Water Ways in Place of Roads- SIumberous ValIeys, Highest Wa terfaiIs, Mightiest Chasms and Most
 Tremendous Glacier Fields, Form ing Continuous scenes of Grandeur -Interesting Hardsnger Peasantry.
 LONDON, Oct. 19. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Norway is 90 cut and hageled by the nu- merous fiords or sea-srms which often pen citrate nearly to her eastern boundary, that 1t might perhaps be truthfully said her thoroughfares are mainly by water, and that her many and tremendous stone roads of the mountsins and valleys are after all merely feeders to her silent and mighty water ways.
 One could truly see most of Norway without ever leaving a steamers deck. By keeping to the routes established from cities through the larger fords and their almost countless lesser arms and branches, and never leaving them on either hand more than half score miles, every princi- | pal point of scenic interest could bs gained. And If one should set out upon 8 "lsnd | journey" from Stsvanger, on the south western coast, to Trondbjem, midway to the Lofoden Islands, 1t is likely that near | ly one-half of this distance of from three to four hundred miles would still necesss- | rily be trsversed tu the countless row. boats (roe baade) and little steamers of the fiords.
 These fiords are therefore almost first in combined attraetiveness to the traveller. They possess three distinct phases of in terest. They are the chief national high ways; the greatest possible diversity ir peasant and village life is found upor their shores and in the adjacent valleys and with few exceptions, as with the gla cier-felds and upper waterfalls, crags ant dsles of the fercely-desolate fields O
 mountain reaches, they certainly provid

 Of late years Norway has almost outri

Here are all these in infinite variety an : expression-endless sea reach, measurelsi a water-depths, sheer walls from two to fot thousand feet in height, majestic snov + clad peaks twice this altitude, trsmendor 6 torrents and waterfalls thousands of fe e from leap to pool, glscier-felds hundred |, of square miles in ares-and, toning ar softening all from an endless panorama sublimity unbearable, that tender threa n ing of human color, in never-fsiling s'g
