Owing to tho vanguard OF rocky Is.

harbors are numerous--so numerous
that o quaint Western man, the only
passenger besides myself who ven-
tured on the mail boat this cruise,
remarked that II harbors were only
worth cent apiece Labrador would
be one Of the richest countries In the
world. But, In spite OF these many
shelters, rocks and ice are so fatal ia

fhe Death Of Nelson.

1t may be of interest. In connection
with the Nelson bazar, to quote a
passage from the memoirs Of Rob.
ert Guillemard, who was posted
In the shrouds OF the Redoubtable
during the battle OF Trafalgar.
Near the stern of the Victor was an
officer covered with decorations and
having only one arm. From what /
had heard Of Nelson felt no doubt
that IL was he. He was surrounded
by several officers, to whom he APP
pcarei to be giving orders. At the
moment Of my perceiving,him several
sailors fell near him, struck by the
shots from the Redoubtable. Re.
ceiving no orders to descend, but see.
ing myself forgotten In the shrouds.
/ thought myself bound to fire at
the deck OF the English vessel, which
I saw unprotected and very near me.
l might even have aimed at individu.
ais, but fired in succession on the
different groups formed by the sail.
ors and their officers. Suddenly l
noticed q great commotion on the
Victory. People hurried round the
officer whom believed I had rccog.
nized rs Nelson. lie had fallen, and
was being carried away wrapped In q
cloak. His star ut that moment
showed me that I was not mistaken,
but that 1t was really the English
admiral. A moment later the Vic.
tory ceased firing the deck was de.
serted by oil who had been stationed
there, and 1 presumed that the con.
sternation caused by the admiraps
fall was the cause OF this sudden In.
activity" Guillemard, on learning
that Nelson had died from shot en-
tering the shoulder and passing
through the spine, was confirmed In
the belief that In this, his first en-.
gagement, he had killed the dreaded
English admiral.

The Nest Popular Feet.

Longfellow IL the most popular
poet yet born in America; and II we
can measure popular approval by the
widespread sale Of his successive
volumes, he was probably the most
popular poet OF the English language
In this century. Part Of his popu.
larity Is due to his healthy mind. his
calm spirit, his vigorous sympathy.
His thought, though often deep, was
never obscure. His lyrics had al.
ways a grace that took the ear with
delight. They have a singing sim
plicity, caught, 1t may be. from the
German WRISTS, such as INLAND or
Heine. This simplicity was the re-
suit OF rare artistic repression, 1t was
not due to any poverty OF intellect.
Like Victor Hugo In France, Long.
fellow in America was the poet OF
childhood. And as he understood
the children. SO he also sympathized
with the poor, the toiling, the lowly
mot looking down on them, but
clarifying their labor, and declaring
the necessity OF 1t and the nobility
OF work. He could mako the barest
life seem radiant with beauty. He
had acquired the culture OF all lands,
but no understood also the message
OF his own country. He thought
that the best that Europe could
bring was none too good for tho plain
people OF America. lilo was true
American, not only In his stalwar,
patriotism In the hour OF trial, but
In his loving acceptance Of tho doc
trlne Of human equality, and In hi:
belief and trust In his fellow man.

A Glover and Versatile Lawyer.

When Judge Parsons was prac-
ticing lawyer he was once employed
to plead two cases in court which
were precisely alike. but in one he
was engaged fer the plaintiff, in the
other for the defendant. 1t happen
cd that both cases were tried the
same day. He spoke for half an hour
to the first jury; the case was given
to the jurors, and they had retired.
When he appeared before the second
jury he made use OF very different
arguments from those employed by
him before, OF which the court took
notice, reminding him that he seem
ed to have changed his tune and re-
peated to him what he sud few
minutes before. MIR. Parsons fixed
his keen eye upon the judge and re,
piled: SHAY 1t please your honor, ]
might have been wrong an hour ago
but now know ! am right" lie
proceeded, and when the jnries re-
turned it was found he had gained q
verdict in both cases. -Lewistor

Not the Same Genesis.

A German Hebrew professor had five
daughters, whom the students called
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers
ana Deuteronomy. One day the profess
sor began his lecture by saying
"Gentlemen, l wish to speak to You
to-day about the age of Genesis"
which remark was greeted with Il
burst of feet scutiing and general
smile on the part of the class.
The professor, thinking that his sub
ject was being appreciated, continued,
with u still firmer note In his voice
"Genesis Is not SO old as some of you
suppose"
This was greeted with such a burst
of merriment that the professor had
plenty of time, before 1t quieted down.

called at the eighth inning when the score
stood 20 to 20. The boys played we'll on
