trate Pnsscs Up the Line.
New YORK, April 21.-The marine mon
sters presented beautiful sight this morn
ing as they lay at anchor in two columns
extending from Thirty fourth street up the
North river, the foreign ships on the New
York side. The sight was still more beau
tiful when, at 8 O'Clock, the squadrons
simultaneously dressed ship and hoisted
colors.
At precisely 1890 the president and
members of his cabinet were received on
board the Dolphin off Fwenty-third street,
North river. The Dolphin then, followed
by the coast survey steamer Blake and the
steamer Monmouth, proceeded up the river
between the columns df the United States
and foreign men-of-war The Blake car
ried the members of the diplomatic corps
and the Monmouth the Judges OF the SUI
preme court, senators and representatives
OF the United States and governors of
states, accompanied by one staff officer.
The cheers of the nj multitude assembled
on the docks, on the buildings along West
street and on boats OF All descriptions that
Ilned the river were re-eehoed again and
again as the Dolphin, the Blake and the
monmouth proceeded hp heriver between
the two columns of gayly decked war
ships. When the DolIhin's bow was op
poslte each ships stern there was "pre-
sent arms" four fourlshes Tor ruffles), of
ncers and crew saluted. and the band
played the national air AT the last -four.
ish there was salute Of twenty-one guns.
On reaching the head of the columns the
Blake anchored at the head Of the foreign
and the Monmouth at the head of the
American column. The flag officers and
the captains of the men -of-war were then
received on board tho Dolphin and pre-
sented to the president of the United
States, who entertained them at lunch,
Lunch was at the same time served on the
Blake and Monmouth to the guests on
board.
The review terminated by the return of
the Dolphin, Blake eand Monmouth through
the lines. and as the presidents flag was
hauled down from tile Dolphin it was
saiuted with twenty-one guns by all of the
men-of-war present, W hile every vessel in
the fleet manned yards or rails.
As the Dolphin was passing between tho
two columns that portion of North river
between the American columns and tho
New York shore was closed, and all traffic
and passage suspended. After the Dolphin
mad anchored at the head Of the line YES
sells OF oil kinds circleh around the fleet,
going up on the New Jersey side of the
river, but the passage between the two
columns was closed until the president
landed from the Dolphin and the review
thereby terminated.

One small boy and couple of little

Most of the children had never seen
one before. The flower was passed
along the line and small noses fingered

IN France, and especially in Toulon

safely be prophesied, will not find
much imitation in this country. This
is the employment of women as street

it is surprising that though their occu-

them are doing the polishing in gaunt-
let gloves
In the towns in which they are en-
ployed they certainly are a success pc
cuniarily, especially where ENGLISH
and American visitors, who generally
seem to treat the whole affair as a
good joke, are numerous.
1t is said that one reason for the oc-

impressed by their shining qualities.

Many Sportsmen of the Nile Train Puss
~ to Become an Expert Fisher.
Though 1t seems somewhat difficult
TO understand how the sportsmen of
the Nile trained their cats not only to
hunt game, but to retrieve it from the
water, the hunting scenes depicted on
the walls of Thebes afford proof of the
egyptian cats service in this re-
spect.
In one of these representation saws
the Boston Globe, puss is depicted in
the act Of Selling bird that has been
brought down by the marksnan in
the boat; while in another scene the
cats are seen in the boat ready for their
work
Thus, it appears, from these ancient
illustrations of field and other sports.
that the Egyptians were able to train
their domestic cats to act in the came
way as our modern retriever dogs do.
1t is generally supposed that nothing
will induce cat to enter water, but
this Is clearly fallacy, like many
other popular notions about the animal
world.
The tiger is an excellent swimmer. as
many have found to their cost; and SO
the cat, another member of the tiger
family, can swim equally well if it has
any occasion to exert its powers, either
IN quest of prey or to effect its escape
from some enemy.
AS cats are exceedingly fond of fish. |
they will often drag them alive out of
their native element whenever they get
the chance.
They have even been known to help
themselves oout of aquaria that have
been left uncovered, and on moon
light nights they may be seen watching
for the unwary occupants of fish
pond, during the spawning season es-
peciallY.

Atlantic coast, at least as far north as
the Virginia line, little cactus with a

but bare sand is visible for many
square yards. The secret of it's sturdy
growth amid hard conditions is found
perhaps, in the character of it's roots

cords, and, radiating in several direc-
lions, they convey to the plant what
