PERlLS OF THE NORTH SEA.
Bit CT Ocean Full of Anxiety to Passenger
and Navigator.

The passage of the North sea, or Ger
man oCCan--for it is equally well known
by both titles-is looked upon with dread
by the navigatorS who have to brave its
dangers,
Tho sailors of the North German Lloyd
call it the sea of murder in allusion to tho
marine disasters with which its history
bristles The captain of the liner, whose
destination is Liverpool, feels that the
porils of his voyage arc practically over
whom he reaches Queenstown. The com
manders of the North German Lloyd ships
on the other hand, realize that the most
dangerous part of their journey is yet to
come, for ahead of them is the narrow and
crowded English channel and the equally
crowded and tcmpestuous North sea
The unruly waters are open to the fierce
sweep Of the wind that is so dreaded in
Europe, that which is from tho northeast
Only those who have experienced these
marrow chilling pneumonia breeding
blasts can realize their anger and their
power The gulf stream which surgcs up
the channel and around the northern end
of the British isles meets tho icy current
from the arctic regions. Storms, varied
by denso fogs, result from this combina-
ton.
The east coast of England forms a dead
ly ice shore for the shipping caught in tho
prevailing winds. In addition to these
natural dangers, the North sea is crossed
and recrossed by dozens of steamer
lanes" 1t is also the seat of the great
herring fisheries, with their thousands of
smacks and schooners that, lying ut anchor
here, there and everywhere are by no
means the least of the dangers which men
acc the navigator. Here, too, there are
hundreds of Scotch and English coasting
craft, which stand well to sea to avoid the
dangers of shore lines, and, lastly, the
mouth of the Thames spreads funnellike
into the North sea, adding to the total
perils with its fleets of incoming and out.

The un-American spirit Of this I'M
American administration appears to have
permeated our diplomatic service to n
marked degree. The cowardy course
pursued by the authorities at Washington
In the Waller case, the subservent atti
tude assumed towards France in the face
OF this dastardly outrage upon an Ameri-
can ctizen--the full details of which
were published in our columns at the
time--may we'll awaken the honest indig
nation of every patriotic citizen Of this
great and powerful country. II has re-
manned for the Cleveland administration
to permits tho growth of such spirit of
contempt and Indifference to this
country abrosd, that the rights of Ameri
can citizens arc no longer respected In
foreign lands. The Waller case calls for
action, prompt courageous action. There
has already been too much delay, and too
many useless words In this matter This
IL an administration that has subsisted
chiefly upon wind, and il 1t has any teeth
1t IS about time to let the world know 1t.

General Campos who seems to know
most everything-except how to conquer
the Cuban insurgents that the
American consuls are not diplomats.
This Is undoubtedly the case. The United
States once had an able and experienced
consular service: but it was most
thoroughly looted under the direction of
Josiah Quincy of Massachusetts. Most
OF Its capable members were removed to
make room for n horde of hungry place
hunters. political buns. boozers, and seed
politicians, who were hanging about the
rear Of the Democratic procession. No
wonder General Campos declares that
they are not diplomats diplomats! 1t is
to be seriously doubted if many of them
know the meaning of the word. Certainly
their cowardly treatment of American
citizens, rs instanced in the Waller and a
long list of Cuban cases has given no in
dicatlon of such erudition. The foreign
policy OF the Cleveland administration has
been burning disgrace to our country.
1t has been cowardly, treacherous. incom
petent, and utterly destitute Of American
spirit Ii is condemned by the decent
citizens of all parties in this country, and
and we'll merits the ridicule that is So
freely heapcd upon it by the trained
diplomats, and political leaders of foreign
lands

Miss Willard says what the world
waits for Is not the new woman alone but
the new man" This Is encouraging
There has been suspicion that the new
woman considered herself capable Of run
ming the universe alone But with this
saving element of the old woman devcl-
oped In the new production the earth is
not likely to wabblc on its axis. Seri
ously, Miss Wizards words above quoted
are worthy the careful consideration of
both sexes. When she says lone parent
by the hearthstone does not make a
home. b" she gives prominence to truth
which deserves more general considera
tion than II receives. 1t is not unreason-
able to hope that the following is
prophecy: "In primitive days we had the
matriarchatc which means the rule of
the mothers, and now for painfully
heightened period We have had the
pAtriarchate, or the rule of the fathers
but We begin to see the dawn of the
amphiarchate, or the joint rule of joint
world by the joint forces of it's mothers
and Its fathers, Happy are they who put
their sturdy shoulders to the wheels of
this white chariot OF the sun. "

RUDSAHD klPLING AN ACTOR.
The Noveiist's Father Was Very Proud of
the Young Mans Talents

Is. Rlbbentrop, inspector general Of for
ests to the government of India, is well ac-
quainted with both the Kiplings In a re-
cent interview he said
Personally Mr.. Kipling the father IS
man OF ordinary stature, with q massive
ond remarkable head. 1t is web balanced
and at once striking to look at His hair
is getting very white, but there is a youth
about his face that Is quite unusual in
man of his age He Is very proud of Rud-
yard aud carefully reviews everything the
young man writes. l recOllect very well
the first literary work Rudyard produced.
He came to Lahore from London to worl,
on The Civil and Military Gazette and in
short time he was SO familiar with all
the people of the locality that he issued n
little book called Department Dittics. 1t
was full of humor and satire, and attract
ed great deal of attention. In a short
time he was sent around the world as
correspondent to a syndicate and when he
came back to Lahore he was famous. He
is idolized there, and his success is our
pride.
Very few people know it, but Rudyara
kipling is one of the best actors ever
saw. On one occasion in Lahore the peo-
B'N rSo up on tlltttbTlGHl company
and put on play called Plot and Pas
sion,' wherein ono Fouche, a character
who is at the head of the police, is intro
duced. This part was played by Rudyard.
and when the initial performance came off,
Rudyard, meanwhile having done very
badly at the rehearsals, played the part SO
well and with such marvellous understand
ing that the entire cast was Thunderstorm.
He went at it like an old hand, and had
the audience with him from the very start.
Everybody in Lahore advised him to 90
on the stage at once, but he refused and
staid by his pencil. tell you it was the
best piece OF amateur acting I ever saw.
and l begged him to follow the life of an
actor but he only laughed and continued
TO call me the Gigantic Head of the In
dian Forest in his stories He always had
peculiar way of forming quick acquaint-
ancc, and he know every man in Lahore
from the poorest TO the richest. He never
let g story escape him, and his understand
ing of men ard their eccentricities has
made it possible for him to give the world
all sorts OF literature San francisco
Call.

ton OF even those features of it, which
seem most plausible. 1t may be that
Miss Willard wishes to make the organi-
cation a training school for intelligent
women voters, but assuredly she cannot
wish to postpone the time when they may
receive that suffrage. Neither can We
think that she wishes to weaken the
unions influence in morals by leading it
into disrepute along economical lines. If
Miss Willard herself endorses, which We
can scarcely believe, these propositions,
which she commends to the good will OF
all white ribbon women, she is making
mistake SO dangerous as to excite the
apprehension of all her best and most in
telligent friends.

PRESS COMMENTS.
Cleveland Americanism.
New York Press.l

Don. NJ Dickinson 5 recent remarks IN
favor of the Monroe doctrine were so ex-
ceptiopaI for Cleveland Democrat that
they called forth compliments from the
press throughout the country. Nj. Dick
inson seems to have taken these compli-
ments as tie evidence that he is a recog
nized authority on what constitutes true
Amsricanism. Under this delusion he
has had an interview with himself, aud
authorltatively announces that Mr. Cleve-
land is an American of Americans; that
his whole foreign policy is high-class
Americapism. Those who criticise him,
according to Mr.. Dickinson. only show
their inferlority as Americans. They
disagree with Mr.. Cleveland only because
he Is so much superior to them that they
cannot comprehend the great insight of
his craftsmanship and the depth of his
policy.
The Presidents withdrawal of the an
nexation treaty of Hawaii aud attempt to
overthrow the republic and re-establish
the dusky Queen was only long headed
scheme for bringing about annexation.
His abandonment of Samoa was only a
superior way of asserting American in
huence in those islands His sluggish
Indifference in the Waller case is only
more effective way of showing France and
all Europe that the rights of American
citizens will be vigorously protected
His attorney generals letter, laying it
down that even the holding of public
meetings in the United States favoring
the recognition of Cuban revolutionists
as belligerents is a violation of interna-
tional law, is only subtle and effective
way of informing Spain that the United
States sympathizes with the struggles of
Cuba for political freedom.
Those who do not see the deep strategy
and superior Americanism in ali this will
find out their mistake when the true in
wardncss of Mr.. Cleveand's foreign
policy is finally revealed We admire the
boldness of Mr.. Dickinson in thus coming
to the rescue of his master, but he is really
not foolish enough to believe that any
body will do aught but laugh at him. If
he thinks such stuff will be taken serious
ly by anybody, be only demonstrates his
real cuckoo quality and proves conclu
Sively that he has the adequate amount of
blind egOtism to entitle him to be Cleve
lands first man.

The Rockland Tribune thinks that
agricultural institutes could be held pro-
ftably in connection with county fairs
that thus horse racing might be done
away with; also that ample time could be
had for the institute and the sightseeing
If guides could be provided to take the
visitors around more quickly than If left
to themselves. This might work favor
ably with those who attend the fairs for
practical benefit but it seems reasonable
to presume that the many who go for a
good time, and to whom the county fair
offers one of the few opportunities of the
season, would look upon the project with
disfavor And the successful fair man
agement is compelled to cater somewhat
to this class.
Not long ago kennebec parties to a
"horsetrade' found law more expensive
than the horse and now a similar case is
on down in Hanock county. Some people,
who wouldn't give kingdom for horse
are perfectly willing to give all they pos
sess for the fun of litigation.
The recent drouth afforded the mean
man several opportunities to display his
meanness. AsCumberland county farmer
refused two wheelmen drink as sit was
kinder dry time and another didn't know
when it would rain again" Another
drove a team away from his watering
trough with the remark that his wife had
to pump all that water. The occupants
of the team replied that they believed,
after all, that he looked like man who
would allow his wife to pump the water.

Method In Feeding Hens.

1t is a source of complaint that
the large breeds eat more food than
the smaller ones, and do not give
as good results in eggs. This de-
ponds, however, upon how they are
fed. If the food is placed before
them in unlimited supply, so they
can eat their fill, there will be one
result-excessive fat. All grain fed
to large birds should be scattered
over surface of ground SO as to
make them as much exercise as
possible. If they have plenty Of
range, it is best to feed nothing at
all except at night, in order that
they may work during the day, and
thereby keep not only in better
health, but avoid taking on too
much fat. If confined, however,
the grain should be scattered in
some kind of litter, such as leaves,
as the object should be to compel
them to hunt for each grain rather
than to fill themselves in a few
moments, only to sit on the roost
and fatten like a hog. Such hens
are useless, and do not lay, but are
always ready for market, Poultry
Fdncier.
