He Was Insured.

From the New York Tribune.
"A few days ago." says travelling man, Sin
passing through town which had been badly
wrecked by a small hurricane, / met a man
who bad protected himself against loss by
cyclone, and who was able to survey the ruin of
all he possessed on earth with the utmost COM
placency, while his neighbors were almost dis
tracted with grief. l asked him casually why
he had taken the precaution. having learned
that he the only man in town who had such
q policy. lie told me that when boy he had
narrowly escaped being killed by a cyclone and
the danger had SO impressed HIM that he had
carried cyclone insurance ever since he had
started housekeeping, which was welI-nigh a
generation ago. The sentiments of the neigh
bors toward this fortunate man were quite in
teresting. One or two. of course, were small
enough to be jealous of him and TO tell anec-
dotes OF how some folks had more luck than
they deserved. but the majority spoke more in
admiration than envy, and there seemed to be
general sentiment that the man who had thus
provided against danger in the midst of safety
was the most suitable man in the district to run
for Congress"

An Oyeresfimated Eortresa.

From Henry NJ. Fields Gibraltar"
hundred years ago Burke spoke Of Glib
raltar with exultation as "a post of power, q
post OF superiority, Of connection. OF COM
merce-one which makes us invaluable to our
friends and formidable to our enemies and
the feeling has survived to this day. Not an
Euglishman passes through the straits whose
heart does not swell within him to see the flag
OF his country floating from the top of the
rock, from which, as ne believes, the whole
world cannot tear it down. Every true Briton
would look upon the lowering of that flag as
the abdicaion Of imperial power.
Yet is not this an oversstimate Of the value Of
the Gibraltar to England2 Ii it worth all it
costs to England? Would it weigh much in the
balance in a great contest Of nations for the
mastery Of the world? The object of this rock
fortress is to command the passage down the
Mediterranean. The arms of Gibraltar are a
castle and key, to signify that il holds the
key Of the straits and that no ship flying any
other flag than that of England can enter or
depart except by her permission. That power,
however, is already gone. England may hold
the key Of the straits. but the door is too wide
to be locked. The 100-ton guns of Gibraltar,
even if aimed directly seward. could not de-
stroy or stop passing fleet. know this is
not the limit OF construction in modern ord
nance.
Guns have been wrought weighing hundred
and twenty tons which throw ball weighing a
ton over ten miles. Such a gun mounted at
Tarifa might indeed hurl its tremendous bolt
across the Mediterranean into Africa. Tarifa,
however. is In Spain, while opposite Gibraltar
1t is fourteen miles to Ceuta, point not to be
reached by any ordnance in existence, even if
the last product of modern warfare were
mounted on the height of O'Hara's tower SO
that Aeet of ironclads bugging the African
coast would be quite safe from the English fire,
which could not prevent the entrance of a
French or German or Italian feet into the
Mediterranean il it were strong enough to en-
counter the English feet.
The reliance must therefore. be on the fleet
and not on the fortress. or course, the latter
would be refuge In case Of disaster. where the
English ships could find protection under the
guns of the fort But the fortress alone would
not bar the passage into the Mediterranean.

Chimney Swallows.
When the swallows come In spring,
From the Southland far away,
Under each wing they blessing bring,
And they merrily chirp all day.
When they in our chimney build,
No fire on the hearth below,
The house with the gold Of Joy they gid,
And on 1t good luck bestow.
On the chimney side with clay
They fashion hOmey nest,
Wherein secure from harm, some day
Will the callow young ones rest.
To their home the chimney-top
Is the ever open door,
Through which you may often hear them drop
With a sound Ike thunder's roar.
The songs that the wood-5irds sing
May more delight the ear,
But the swaliows chirp and thunder in Spring
Are pleasant, too, to hear.
For when they in our chimney build,
No IRE on the hearth below,
The house with the gold of Joy they gild,
And on it good luck bestow.

disappointment which falls to the lot Of the
