The Atlantic Monthly for July contains
the first OF Dr. John Fiske's promised his
torical papers. The subject treated in
this issue is The Elizabethan Sea Kings
Such picturesque historical characters as
Raleigh, Drake, and Others Of their time
become doubly attractive when described
by SO charming writer as Mr.. Fiske
Another series which promises delightful
reading describes An Architects Naca-
ton. Mr.. Robert S. Peabody, the we'll
known Boston architect is the author,
and the first paper treats Of Rural Eng
land. percival Lowellfs papers on Mars
are continued, the subject Of the third be-
ing Canals. AS these papers progress,
they give more and more reason for the
belief that Mars is inhabited. Special
| stress is laid in this paper on the artificial
| appearance of the canals on the planet.

chance Of ever receiving payment.
To add to her trouble her stock of
money was getting daily more and
more attenuated, and in the midst of
all these worries an adventure occurred
to her which only plunged her deeper
into difficulty.
One cold, clustering day She was re-
turning from fruitless hunt after en-
ployment when her eye was attracted
to tall, slouching man, apparently a
tramp in very dilapidated condition
leading by the hand very tired little
boy.
The child looked at her with a pitiful
glance which went straight to her
heart. Notwithstanding his dirty
clothes and unkempt hair it was appar-
ent that he was lovely boy.
The man noticed her wistful glance,
and looking round to see that no po-
iceman was in the ncighborhood, be-
gan to whine forth a tale of suffering.
IS this little boy yours?" she asked.
"Well, no, miss. I'm keepin' the

HE WOUND THE WATCH.


Practical joke on One Of he North Side
Street Railways Miuions.
Say friend, can trouble you to
wind my watch for me? ! mashed my
thumb in u folding-bed and 1t bothers
me badly" said sedate old gentle
man to the conductor Of a north -bound
limits car to-day, as the grip ducked
down into the tunnel
The neat rubber cot on the gentle
mans thumb confirmed his story and
his benign dignity did not seem to ad-
nit Of refusal. Consequently, the
conductor tool, the silver chronometer,
grasped the stem and began to wind
with cheerful alacrity. By the time
the train had reached the dividing
wall in the tunnel the "short-horse-
soon-eurried' expression va nished
from the face OF the conductor
"tiucss this must be u Waterbury?'
he grumbled.
Waterbury? Well, guess not! was
the short and digniied response.
The passengers had gradually be-
come Interested in the proceeding, un.
Vii everyone in the ear was watching
the performance. The conductor evil
IDENTIFY made up his mind that he was
in for job and determined 10 make
the best of it, so he continued to wind
aud wind. The train pulled up into
daylight and he had not taken a single
fare, Things were getting desperate
but he had no notion Of quitting until
the watch was wound to standstill.
The passengers were beginning TIC
laugh, and this made him still more de.
tcrmined.
The train whipped around the corner
toward Clark street, Then the old
gentleman smiled knowingly as he
said
"lhank you very kindly, sir. al
ways wind that watch In installments
and think the little start you hav,
given it will do very nicely until cal
get home.

ConnubiaI "Scrappinr,"

Somebody has lately declared that
English wives and husbands are more
prone to quarrel than are American
wives and husbands, only that some
body calls 1t scrap" instead OF quar-
REL" OF course, he doesn't assert that
dissenslon Is unheard Of in the Ameri-
can household, but he maintains that
there Is not nearly so much Of II. He
also makes the distinction that In
America, however common connubial
"scrapping" may be, It's looked upon
as most rogrettable, not to say shame
full, But In England they take 1t as
matter Of course. Not long since an
English couple, noted for their bicker-
ing, calmly signed telegram "The
scrappers'-a thing that on this side Of
the water would scarcely have hap
pened, even In fun. No, In tile United
States there still exists good, old
fashioned prejudice In favor Of domes-
tic peace md this, too, in spite Of Mr..
Stevenson's declaration that marriage
Is nothing more nor less than the do

In tho south Of Italy there was once
a nourishing Greek colony called sy-
baris. The town was well situated
for commerce, the surrounding coun-
try was very fertile, the climate was
the finest in the world, and for some
centuries the sybarites were industri-
GUS and enterprisiug, carrying on u
profitable trade with other countries
and heaping up immense wealth Bat
too much good fortune finally proved
their ruin. Little by little they lost
their habits of labor and thrift, and
instead gave themselves up TO pleas
ure. Finally, leaving all kinds OF nee
essary work to their slaves, they laid
aside the cares Of life. and spent their
days in eating and drinking, in dane
ing and listening TO fine music or in
attending the circus and watching The
feats Of acrobats or performing ami
mals.-James Baldwin, in st. Nicholas

THE BEAR FLAG.



monts Party.
The very day, that Fremont arrived
at his camp in the Butte mountains
NOV in Suffer county there occurred
an event which had never happened
before-that is, the transferring Of
band of horses from the north to the
south side Of the Bay Of San Francisco,
by way Of the Sacramento and San
joaquin valleys. True, the north side
of the bay of San Francisco was Gov
cred with horses and cattle and some
other live stock, but the first animals
were either taken across the bay OF
San Francisco one by one, in small
boats, or they were made to swim by
the side Of boats across the straits of
Carquinez, one at time.
Fremont, hearing of the passing OF
that band Of horses by Suffers fort,
sent men who overlook them ut the
Costume river and took them away
from the lieutenant and soldiers in
charge, taking about one hundred and
fifty head Of horses and sending in

Of course, at this season Of the year
the train which bore Elsie and her for
tunes westward was snowbound; and,
equally of course. instead of reaching
Buffalo in the small hours of the morn
ing, it never rolled into It's destination
It'll the day was wcll-nigh spent.
As Frank Grey knew nothing Of their
intended arrival, he was not at the sta
ton to meet Them so that sly old gen
tleman seized upon his absence to make
his preparations to explode that glo-
rious joke on his young friend he had
been chuckling over ever since 1t entered
his head
Thus, when the home was reached,
and they had all rested and refreshed
themselves after their long trip, he set
about putting his plans into execution.

The entomologists tell us that, after

guised blessing. For seventeen years
there has been drop in temperature
at about this time in May. II has been
thought, too, in nearly every case that
these cold waves did immense dam
age to crops, but 1t is probable that on
an average they increased production.
Plant lice and other destructive para
sites, which begin Matching when the
thermometer rises above seventy de-
grccs, multiplyswith such rapidity that
II they were not killed by cold waves

would be impossible to raise either
fruit or grapes, while many cereal
