ABOARD THE U. S. NJ. S. PARIS,
En- ROUTE FOR SOUTHAMPTON, ENG,
September 4th, 1895.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Sunday, September end,
was the most beautiful day ever beheld.
The air was balmy, the sun brilliant and
the sky Of an ETHEREAL blue without cloud
upon its breast. A holy calm seemed to
prevade all our surroundings. Ihave new
er seen such skies anywhere in our coun-
try as make up the blue dome of heaven
when about halfway across the Atlantic.
There is a transparency that is to be seen
only when in that latitude or in the south
of Europe. This peculiar blueness has its
effect upon the waves and the water is of
most beautiful young green color. l
saw many fine pictures in the galleries of
London, Paris and Brussels but none that
produced the same effect as these beautiful
waves on that holy sabbath morn. The
picture was most striking when standing
aft of the ship where one could get a good
view of the screw. AS the big boat bound
ed onward the screw would churn the wa
ter into foam Beneath the waves one
could see this seething whiteness rising up,
up toward the green until out it broke and
spread around with a rainbow on every
bubble while about was the immensity of
the sea awe-inspiring and inviting even to
the point of fascination where one could al
most throw himselfupon the rocking waves.
Men rave over the gift of ina ginatiOn but if
| could describe natures lavish beauty as
seen that day | would spurn imagination.
This day will always hold place within
my memory not alone because "a thing of
beauty is a JOY forever but because of
picture saw there. In that beautiful frag
ment The Eagle" by Tennyson, occurs
the line:
..The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;"
| had always thought this an imaginative
conceit or poetic license, but no, the mas
ter had seen too much of the sea, which he
loved so well, to draw false picture and
there was 1.-The wrinkled sea- as plain and
unmistakeable as the lines of age upon the
face of human being. There seemed to
be no night after that day for as the sun
sank toward the west up came the moon at
tended by myriad stars. Some of the
brlliancy of the sunlight was gone but
the contrast was restful. Far out toward
the horizon was the path of the moon and
on the bosom of each wave was pictured
the lustre of twinkling star. The man
who is not overcome by the beauty and the
loveliness of such heavenly harmony of
color and tone is lower in the plain of civ
lization than brute for even dog will
ebay the moon" Monday brought us
little rain fall and games of various kinds

MISS VANDERBlLT'S RETOkT.

An amusing story about Miss Gertrude
Vanderbilt is told by one of her school
friends. 1t happened several years ago,
when Miss Vanderbilt was in short dress
es, and the desirability of standing we'll
with prominent people had not yet crossed
the minds of her schoolmates.
The dispute started over the monthly re-
port book. Miss Vanderbilt's marks were
higher than any of the other children's in
the group.
Il don't care" exclaimed one of them,
''the teachers favor you cause you're rich,
but my father says your grandfather used
to sell matches. There-didn't he?''
And Miss Vanderbilt, who, was possess
ed of rare dignity, held up her curly head
trif1e higher and answered quietly
Il really don't know But if he did I'm
sure they were good matches. New York

BROWN on HUMAN NATURE,

Brown, don't see how it is that Young
girls all marry off as soon as they get old
enough, while none of mine can marry
oh, that's simple enough! marry my
girls off on the buckwheat straw princi-
ple.'
But what is that principle? have nev-
er heard of it before
We'll, fused to raise good deal of buck
wheat, and it puzzled me to know how to
get rid of the straw. Nothing would eat
it, and it was bother to me. At last l
thought of plan.
1 stacked my buckwheat straw nicely
and built high rail fence around it
My cattle, of course, concluded that it
was something good, and at once tore
down the fence and began to eat the
straw.
After this had been repeated few
times, the cattle determined to eat the
straw, and eat it they did every bit CT it.
AS l said, 1 marry my girls off on the
same principle.
When young man don't like begins
calling on my girls I encourage him in
every way can.
i tell him to come as often and stay as
late as he pleases, and I take pains to hint
to the girls that 1 think they'd better set
their caps for him. 1t works first-rate
"He doesn't make many calls for the
girls treat him as coolly as they can
But when young fellow that 1 like
comes arOund-a man that 1 think would
suit me for a son -law-I don't let him
make many calls before give him to un-
derstand that he isn't wanted around my
house.
I tell the girls, too, that they should not
have anything to do with him, and give
them orders never to speak to him again.
The plan works first-rate. The young
folks begin to pity each other, and the next
thing know they are engaged.
When see that they are determined
to marry always give in, and pretend to
make the best of it. That's the way man
age it,

IL was only sunny smile,
And little it cost in the giving:
But it scattered the night
Like the morning light,
And made the day worth living
Through lfe's dull warp wOOf it wove
In shining cOlors of hope and love;
And the angels smiled as they watched above
Yet little it cost in the giving.
1t was only kindly word.
A word that was lightly p)ken;
Yet not in vain,
For it settled the pam
OF heart that was nearly broken
1t strengthened a faith beset by fears, 20
And cropping blindly through mi,ts of tears~
For light to brighten the coming years,
Although it was lightly spoken.
1t was only helping hand,
And it seemed Of little avang
But its clasp was warm.
And it saved from harm
brother whose strength was failing.
Its touch was tender angel wings,
But it rolled the stone from the hidden springs
And pointed the way to higher things,
Though it seemed OF little avang
smile, or a word, a touch,
And each is easily given,
Yet either may win
A soul from sin,
Or smooth the way to heaven.
A smile may tighten the failing heart,
word may soften pains keenest smart,
A touch may lead us from sin apart,
How easily either is given!

placed in position
1t is noteworthy fact that in its entire
existence Christ Church has had but
twelve rectors in active service. Each of
these has been theologian of high stand
ing in the faith, and has contributed his
best efforts to preserve the high standing
OF the church given it by Bishop White
The present rector, Rev. Dr. C. Ellis Ste
vens, is well worthy of the place, being
not only sound theologian, but a great
great grandson of one of General Stark's
aids. The present celebration shows the
church, though it has long been removed
from the residential portion of the city, to
be stronger than ever. Its influence is
constantly widening, and the impetus
which will be given it by reason of the re-
awakened interest in the historic edifice,
may be depended upon to fix it more firm

THE BOOK LOVER.
BY EUGENE FIELD.

My garden aboundeth in pleasant hooks
And fragrance is over it all;
For sweet is the smell of my old. old books,
In their places against the wall.
Here is folio that's gr i'm with age
And yellow and green with mould;
There's the breath of the sea on every page,
And the hint of a stanch ships hold.
And here is a treasure from France Ia belle
Exhaleth a faint perfume
of welded lily and asphodel
In a garden of song ablOOm.
And this wee little book of Puritan mien
And rude, conspicuous print
Hath the Yankee flavor Of wintergreen,
Or, may be, of peppermint.
In Walton tho brooks a tabbling tell
Where the cherry daisy grows.
And where in meadow or woodland dwell
The..buttercup and the rose.
But best beloved OF b>oks, I weed,
Are those which one perceives
Are hallowed ny ashes dropped between
The yellow, we'll thumbed leaves.
For it's here laugh and it's there a tear,
Till the treasured book is read;
And the ashes betwixt the pages here
Tell us of one long dead.
But the gracious presence reappears
As we read the book again,
And the fragrance of precious. distant years
Filleth the hearts of men.
Come, pluck with me in my garden hooks
The pOsies that bloom for all;
Oh, sweet is the sme Of my old, old books,
In their places against the wall!

AN IMPORTANT OFFICE.

To properly fill its office and functions,
it is important that the blood be pure.
When it is in such con lition, the body
is almost certain to be healthy. A COM
plaint at this time is catarrh in some of its
various forms. A slight cold develops the
disease in the head. Droppings of cor
ruption passing into the lungs bring on
consumption The only way to cure this
disease is to purify the blood. The most
obstinate cases of catarrh yield to the medi-
cinal powers of Hoods Sarsaparilla as if
by magic, simply because it reaches the
seat of the disease, and by purifying and
vitalizing the blood, removes the cause
Not only does Hoods Sarsaparilla do this
but it gives renewed vigor to the whole
system, makingit possible for good health
to reign supreme.

A SPIDER FARM.

A Sirup Bother Has Recruited the Spider
Against His Foes With Success.
A strip bother has improved upon the
prison lesson Of Bruce. He has taken
the spider into partnership in the work
ing Of one of his most important depart
ments. Flies, cockroaches and other in
sects, attracted by his sweets, and en-
couraged by the genial atmosphere OF
his bottling room, used to interfere with
his work, get into his bottles, steal his
goods and IVORY him to death. {" He
has recruited the spider against his foes
and vanquished them. Some 5000 spi-
ders now make their home on the ceiling
and walls of his bottling department.
Their webs are everywhere, and they be-
have themselves with great intelligence.
Said the bother to an interviewer:
'sThese creatures know more than a
great many people. Spiders do not care
for sweet things, and never drop into
my watts or get into my bottles. never
disturb them except to feed them occa-
sionally. They appear to know my call,
and will come out and feed from my
hand, or take fly from my finger
''They shut themselves up during
most of the winter months in the little
nests you see stuck like daubs Of mud
about the ceiling. When winter comes,
brush away the webs. They prefer to
weave new ones every spring
Each May they reappear ready to
unravel the silken fabric that is stored
in their little bodies. 1t is just about
then that the flies have Matched their
first young. If the spiders appear earlier,
the crop Of flies would soon give out.
ST have been only running this spider
farm for two years, but I find my little
partners Indispensable. They will not
endure in the place single fly or insect

occasional honest penny by capturing

and designs. One of these living manu-
scripts was recently exhibited at Egyp-

of the third chapter of Genesis and some
pieces from Punch tattooed upon his
back in indelible letters Of various col,

NApoLEoNs ORIENTAL DREAMS.
He Longed to FOLLOW In the Footsteps OF
Alexander the Great.

LOngeO
Alexander the Great.
Bonaparte was child of the Mediter-
ranean. The light Of it's sparkling wa
tiers was ever in his eyes, and the fasci-
nation Of it's ancient civilizations was
never absent from his dreams of glory.
His proclamations ring with classic al
lusions; his festivals We're adorned with
classic ceremony. In infancy he had
known of Genoa, the tyrant OF his is
land, as strong in the splendid CONNER
cial enterprises which stretched east
ward through the Levant and beyond
into the farther orient. In childhood he
had fed his imagination on the histories
of Alexander the Great and his conquest
of oriental empires. In youth he had
thought to find AN open door for his am
bition when all others seemed closed by
taking service with England to share
the renown of those who were building
up her eastern empire Disappointed in
this, he turned with the same lack OF
success to Russia, already England's r.
val ON the continent OF Asia.
1t is perfectly comprehensive that
throughout his early manhood his mind
should have occasionally reverted to the
same ideals. The conqueror of Italy and
Austria might hope to realize them.
Was he not master of the two great
maritime commonwealth which had
once shared all eastern trade between
them? England's intrusion upon the
Mediterranean basin was never ceaslns
irritation to all the Latin powers. Hell
commercial prosperity and her mastery
of the seas aggravated the evaporation
of France as threatening even her equall
ty in their ancient rivalry. From the
DAYS of the first crusade all Frenchmer
had felt that leadership in the recon
struction of Asia belonged to them by
virtue of preoccupation. Ardent repub
licans, moreover, saw Frances mission
incomplete in the liberalizing OF thu
continent, and the department Of marine
under the directory stamped its papel
with the motto, Liberty of the Seas.
Imaginative forces, the revolution
ary system and the national ambition
all combined to create ubiquitous en-
thusiasm for the conquest OF the Med
iterranean. To this the Temperament
and training of Bonaparte were as tn
spark to the finder. It was with willing
ears that the directory heard his frs
suggestions about the Venetian isles ant
