1t was not quite so white a world as
showed itself one August morning years
ago. The sun had risen its finest. and the
tourist crowd had gone back to its beds in
the big hotel just off tho Kuhn and left it
to three well wrapped mortals too en-
thralled to feel that they could ever sleep
again. The green of the mountain rose
like an island from "A wide sea of billowy,
silky, white clouds Only the distant
mountain peaks companioncd it, and the
shy made blue dome over all.
After a time clear peals Of heavy bells
came up through the flcccy substance that
hid church and village, and we could hear
the tinkle of the COW and goat bells as herds
and tlOCkS went to the pastures.
Then as the sun rose higher there were
riffs in the clouds. and hamlets, forests and
blue lakes appeared and disappeared as the
sea shifted its pillows. The riffs opened
wider and wider as the hours went on, till
it was all open, and the lake of the four
forest cantons lay clear far below, with the
Benesc Alps piling up their SHOWS and
glaciers and precipices on the farther side
and lakelcts and towns and farms and
miles of pastoral Switzerland could be
studied as on Il map.
The gravity railways have since that day
brought higher and better situated noun
tain tops within the reach of the three
travellers, and they arc content to sail UP
Laka Lucerne without stopping, but with
II feeling that the unsurpassed morning foI
them was that one when the Rigi did its
best.-Newport News.

Railways in the Ottoman Empire.

The continual extension of railways In
Turkey i'll general, and especially IN the
Syrian province Of the empire, is of some
what wider interest than the economic i'm

The story of the disappearance of Gains

than the theft of this canvas. 1t was

since of this famous picture. The one of her
grace at Chatsworth is by the same painter
and was exhibited at the Royal academy in

with one of his pictures of the duchess that
he would not send it to Chatsworth. He

4 Photographic Diary.

OF the many uses to which photography
has been put probably that Of using it as a
means of forming an illustrated diary is
the most novel. 1t is said that IA certain
millionaire is always accompanied by a
quiet looking man who carries a small,
square case and hovers around in a seem
ingly suspicious way. But he is a most
important individual and receives a hand
some salary for his services. 1t is his duty
to take a series of instantaneous photo
graphs, showing how his employer has
passed the day. There is no posing or any
thing of the sort and the photographer has
to use his own judgment in choosing which
moments to represent.
We need hardly point out what possibli-
ties this opens up, and really most inter
esting and Instructive history of a man 5
life could thus be formed. 1t is true not
all of us can afford to employ photog
rapher to take us about II dozen times a
day, but if we ourselves carried always a
hand camera and shot off at things and
places of interest which we came across in
every day life, we could make an interest
ing record which in years to come would
be of value if only to remind US more vivid
~ of the past.-OutinG

GOOD FRUIT CROPS ASSURED.


SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July 12.-The an
nual report upon the fruit crops Of New
England and New York State, AS prepared
jointly by the Now England Homestead of
Springfield, Mass, and the New York
Homestead of Syracuse, n. Y, will be pub
lished this week. Replies received from
all fruit growing sections Indicate that
crop prospects in New England are exceed.
ingiy bright up TO July /.
Fruit buds of nearly all kinds set and the
crop developed rapidly. Peaches will prob
ably give the largest yield in years. APP
pies are doing fairly well, although Bald
wins have failed to give even an average
crop. In nearly all cases good markets. are
reported and fruits rnisers are hopeful of
good returns. Insects, blights and fungus
diseases play about the usual amount of
havoc, but fruit growers are beginning to
lessen their depredotons by the use of
spraying mixtures.
In Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont
the fruit season is exceedingly backward
and in many cases the strG wberry crop has
been total failure. Connecticut return 5
ara encouraging, as are those of Rhode Isl
and Reports covering all sections of New
York show a fairly good average crop pros
pect Where special cultivation and care
was not given to cherry trees, rot and in
sects have greatly reduced tho yield.
Black rot is again reported as doing con
| siderable damage to plum trees, but where
spraying has been properly attended to, the
disease has been much lessened TIE repor is
are convincing that if fruit growers would
spray their orchards, double yield would
be realized.
Returns from all fruit growing sections
of the United States and Canada, as com
piled in the annual report Of the Farm and
Home, published at Chicago show that the
fruit prospects OF the year are encouraging
