The Cars Present to an American.

A matter of almost international in
terest that is known to but a very few
intimate friends Of DR.. j. NJ Crawford,
late consul general to st. Petersburg, is
the fact that when be was about to leave
Russia and had severed his connection
as representative Of the United States
Il number of officials representing the
car Of all the Russians called upon him,
and on behalf Of the emperor presented
DR.. Crawford with what is probably the
handsomest set of solid silver service in
this city today as token of the esteem
in which the emperor held the consul
general. 1t will be remembered that in
1892 the United States sent TO Russia
two shiploads Of flour, because the crops
there had failed ard the peasants were
starving. The ships State Of Missouri
and State of Indiana were dispatched
there with cargoes Of -four as gift from
the American people and landed at the
war port Of Iibau, which is now being
built, and where there were 900 work
men who were on the verge of starva-
ton. DR.. Crawford went to Libau as
the representative Of his government to
receive the -four and formally present it
to the Russian authorities for distribu-
ton. For tho great interest that he took
in it the emperor desired to give an in
dication of the fact that lie appreciated

Princess Helene is an accomplished
horsewoman and is very fond of hunt
ing. She is a beautiful girl, with fine
figure, tall and queenly. Princess He
lene has long been great favorite with
our own royal family, and more espe-
cialiy of the Princess of Wales and Prin-
cess Beatrice. At the garden party given
at Sheen House in 1889 by the Comte
and Comtesse &c Paris tocelebrate their
silver wedding, Princess Helene was a
lovely girl of is, with beautiful golden
brown hair that has now become some
shades darker. The Due d 'Aosta is two
years older than his bride, and though
not SO handsome as she is very good
looking and of pleasant. courteous man
ners. 1t will be remembered that his
father, the late duke, was king of Spain
for few years under the title of ANA.

why Dentistry PAYS at the seashore

The number of dentists signs on the
houses and Office buildings III all the
Jersey seashoro resorts is such as to ex-
cite wonder. As one to1,ist recently ex-
pressed it, Zone would think the people
of New York went there to have their
teeth attended to-" Between Seabright
and Ocean Grove there are as many
dentists as should expect to find occupa-
ton in q city of considerable size
1.-THE fact is, . said one of the den
lists, THAT not only the New Workers,
but the Philadelphians and plenty of
folks from other cities as well, do come
here to have their teeth fixed They do
not know it when they arrange to 20 to
the seaside, but they find it ont when
they get here, and their teeth begin to
throb with pain. The reason is that the
change of air, the tonic effect of the
change and the active, invigmating
outdoor life which the summer idlers
lead strengthens and stimulates them
Their hearts work quicker and with
more strength, and if there is weak
spot anywhere about them the pressure
of the excited circulation calls it into
notice. So it is that teeth which gave
no trouble in the cities throh with pain
at the seashore. New Yor4 sun.

Couldn't Name the Flaxsr,

How we walk through the world,
blind to the colnmonest things, was il
lustrated the other day at summer
boarding house. A bunch Of delicate
white flowers was in little vase on the
table. mixed with some wisps of droop-
ing grain pods Somebody wondered
idly what made up the bouquet. 1t was
finally decided, though not without
question, that the grain was rye. but
the blossoms no one recognized. When
everybody had admitted that it was a
species of wild flower that she and he
had never come across, their gatherer
was called, and the company, with
chagrin and humiliation. received the
word that they were-potato blossoms -

Kingsley was striking example Of
that which is SO characteristic of recent
English literature--its strong, practical.
social, ethical or theological bent. 1t is
in marked contrast with French litera-
ture. Our writers are always using
their literary gifts to preach, to teach,
to promulgate a new social or religious
movement, to reform somebody or some
thing, to illustrate new doctrine.
From first to last Carlyle regarded him
self even more as preacher than as artist.
So does his follower, Mr.. Ruskin. Ma
caulay seemed to write history in order
to prove the unreasonable superiority
Of the Wing to the Tory, and Froude
and Freeman write history to enforce
their own moral. Disraeli's novels were
the programme of party and the de-
Tense of cause, and even Dickens and
Thackeray plant their knives deep into
the social abuse of their time. Charles
Kingsley was not a professed novelist
nor professed man of letters. He was
novelist, poet, essayist and historian al
most by accident. or with Interior aims
Essentially he was moralist, preach
er, a socialist, reformer and a theo-
Logan.
Without pretending that Kingsley is
a great novelist, there are scenes. espe-
cially descriptive scenes in "Hypatia, !"
in westward Hon. which belong to
the very highest order of literary paint
ing and have hardly any superior in the
romances of our era. No romances, ex-
cept Thackeray's, have the same glow
Of style i'll such profusion and variety,
and Thackeray himself was no such poet
of natural beauty as Charles Kingsley
poet, be it remembered, who by sheer
force of imagination could realize for
us landscapes and climates Of which he
himself had no sort of experience. Even
Scott himself has hardly done this with
SO vivid a brush. Harrison

DRIVING BACK The y, EAN.


The Gigantic Work Of Eeciaimtng SUD
merged Land In Holland
The people Of Holland have under
taken a gigantic work by means Of
which they expect TO recover the larger
part Of the territory now covered by the
Zuyder Zee, the inland SCI of the coun-
try, and turn it again into q fertile
farming region 1t is now just five cen
turtles since the inundation of that part
Of the Netherlands now covered by the
Zuyder Eco was completed, the encroach-
ments Of the sea having been going on
for 2a5 years, previons to which time
tho territory was covered with forests
By the most stupcudous exertions
about $50 square miles Of country have
already been recovered by an elaborate
dixie system, which has gradually re-
claimed section after section that was
lost, but tho new scheme transcerds the
previoas work in extent and Importance.
The towns of the region. which had be-
come of considerable importance IS sea-
ports through the bringing of the wa
tiers Of the ocean to their doors, have lost
considerable of that Importance through
the difficulties of navigation and the
transfer Of the trade to the North ucl-
land canal and the ship canal, which
connects the metropolis with the ocean.
On this account the remnants of COM
merce are not worth as much to the
towns as tho country would be after it
is reclaimed, and therefore there is gem
eral acquiesence in the plan to drive the
ocean out.
On account of the great cost it will
be distributed over period of 80 years,
SO as to make it less oppressive and to
make the benefits gradually bear their
share of the expense. A colossal sea wall
is first to be built from North Holland
to Friesland, shutting out the tides of
the ocean. This wall will be ZIG feet
wide at the base. and the top will be II
feet above the sea level, while along the
inner side and at some distance below
the top will be track wide enough for
a wagon road and railway.
After the sea is barred out the inclosed
space to be reclaimed will inclose with
in separate entertainments four areas con-
tanning in the aggregate 7J0 square
miles. One of these areas will be first
drained by pumping the water over the
enhancement, the water finding its way
to the sea through the main channel,
and as the shallower portions became ex-
posed they will be successfully brought
under cultivation. 1t is calculated that
within ten years $4,000 acres can be
made annually available and in the end
the inland sea will be reduced to a chan
mel about 10 miles wide called the
Ysselmeer, communicating with the
sea by locks at W.erinsen, with Amster-
dam by branch three miles wide
and by another with the month of the
Ysscl. The plan has received tho sane
ton of the government, and the eng
neers pronounce it feasible. milwaukee

In doctor TO see his wife, who was suffer-

ined the patient the doctor recommended
the husband to take small brush, dip 1t
in tincture Of iodine and lightly paint tho
lady's back with it, The artist took up his
brush, and, after dipping it In the tincture,
proceeded to carry out the Doctors pre-
scription. But his artistic temperament
soon got the better Of his sick nursing
qualities. Mistaking his wifes back for
canvas, instead Of simply applying the To-
ton he sketclied out landscape and grad
ually poopled with figures and put In all
the details complete The patient, finding
the operation rather lengthy one, asked
her husband If he had not finished And
the latter, receding a few steps TO examine
his work, replied, Another dab or two,
and then l can put 1t In the frame -

encuentra en- ell regazo de una esposa,
ell arribo feliz de su ventura.
Playa de amor de eternal cousuelo:
para el bien de la vida, euau hermosa!
para el goce del alma, cuan segura!
Marcos Z0p0tG.
