from the observation point at the top of
the Masonic Temple. is whity-drab.
So is San Francisco, seen from any Of

is still whittier, when you look down at
it from the top of the Exchange; while
Boston, looked at from the hills back of
Cambridge, is gray. Philadelphia,
from the scaffolding on the City Hall
tower, is red; and Baltimore, as you get
a glimpse of it from Druid Hill. is also
red, but a deeper red-something ap-

Pence and the Clock.

Mr. Pence of Colorado was making
an eloquent address in the house on one
of the pending tariff bills. Soaring to
high oratorical altitude he pointed to
the house clock and in solemn tone
exclaimed: "This bill will pass when
that clock strikes TO-"
There was solemn hush that lasted
a second or two, when it was broken by
a voice on the republican side: THAT
clock doesn't strike, Lafe."
1t was Mercer of Nebraska. The
house collapsed with laughter and it
was some time before Mr.. Pence could
regain his equilibrium.
Pence cornered Mercer at the main
door the other afternoon and held him.
"Say, Mercer" he said, "I've got a
little bill l want you to help me pass.
1t appropriates small sum of money,
not enough to cut any figure in the
treasury balance. Will you vote for
itP"
Certainly" said Mercer; "what is it
forp"
"Oh, want the house to buy striker
for that clock" said Pence, sending
Mercer across the lobby with slap on
the back Washington Post.

The Spread of English.

1t is remarkable fact that while the
English in their colonies and offshoots
have absorbed millions of aliens there
is no record of any great body of Eng
lish-speakers becoming absorbed by
any other race.
In the United States there are millions
of Germans who have become merged
with the English in a single generation
states of the Pacific where English is
rapidly driving out the native dialects.
Even in Japan the English language
has been recognized as a semi-offcial
one and is the one selected for inter-
course with foreigners.
The rapid spread of English is largely
to be attributed to the simplicity of its
grammar, which is less complicated
than that of any other western nation.
Its marked poverty of infections, as
distinguished, for example, from the
German, is a great point in its favor,
and thus it is much easier for German
to learn English than for an English
man or American to learn German.
On the other hand. the extraordinary
photographic Inconsistency of the Eng
lish language is a decided drawback,
and there is little doubt that If English
were written on phonetic principles, as
Spanish or German, its spread would be
much more rapid, to say nothing of the
great boon this would be to the Anglo
Saxons themselves, who spend years OF
unnecessary toll in learning to read
and write their own language.
1t is likely, however, that any change
in this respect must be looked for in
America. where few innovations have
been already introduced. English
speakers may be divided into four great
branches, as follows: () the Euro
pean, (2) the American, (3) the South
African, (4) the Australasian. Each of
these branches has its peculiarities and
the divergence between the four is be-
coming more marked every year.
OF the extra-European branches
American, although the Oldest, has di-
verged least from the parent system.
1t is surprising what number of Amer
ican words have been introduced into
England, many of which are now con-
sidered indigenous to the soil. A large
portion of the slang spoken by the mid
die class in England may also be said
to have an American origin.

The Kitchen of a Queen.

The kitchen of the empress of Aus
tria is one of the completest in the world.
New methods of preparing or serving
food are adopted only at her suggest
ion.
Cooking devices which have become
inconvenient or antiquated are abolish
ed only at her suggestion. Change in
the personnel of the establishment are
made, for the most part, only in obedi-
ence to her orders. The kitchen in
which the food for the bluest blood of
Austria is cooked is huge one, with all
the arrangements at each end for pre-
pairing fish, flesh and fowl for the ia
ble
Fifty chickens can be cooked at once
on the big, whirling spits. The broil-
ing and baking and frying occupy a
small regiment of servants. Twenty
FIVE male cooks spit, season and stuff
the meats. As many women cooks pre-
pare the vegetables. the puddings and
the salads. A dozen or more boys car
ry the birds, fish and joints from the
kitchen to the carving-room, where long
lines of carvers slice everything laid be-
fore them.-HOGSe-F Furnishing ReUieaO

A Persian Dinner-Party.

When the host thinks that. the enter
tainment has lasted long enough he
gives the signal for supper, which is
room. A cloth is laid on the floor,
cakes of pebble bread" which do dou-
BILE duty as food and plates.
The meats, consisting for the most
part of "pilaws" and "chilaws" of differ
ent sorts, are placed in the center, to-
gether with bowls of sherbet, each oi
which is supplied with a delicately-
carved wooden spoon, with deep, boat
shaped bowl, whereof the sides slope
down to form sort of keel at the bot
tom. The guests squat down on their
knees and heels round the cloth, the
host placing him whom he desires most
to honor on his right side at the upper
end of the room ii. e., opposite the
door).
At the lower end the musicians and
minsEels take their places and all, with
out further delay, commence an attack
on the viands. The consumption OF
food progresses rapidly, with but little
conversation, for it is not usual in Per-
sia to linger over meals or to prolong
them by talk, which is better conducted
while the mouth is not otherwise en-
ployed. If the host wishes to pay spe-
cial honor to guest he picks out and
places in his mouth some particularly
delicate morsel.
In about quarter of an hour from
the commencement of the banquet most
of the guests have finished and washed
their hands by pouring water over them
from metal ever into a plate of the
same material, brought round by the
servants for that purpose. They then
rinse out their mouths, roll down theil
sleeves again, partake of final pipe,
and, unless they mean to stay for the
night, depart homeward, either on foot
or on horseback, preceded by servant
bearing lantern.

The Rudder.

OF what are you thinking. my little lad. with
the honest eyes OF blue,
AS you watch the vessels that slowly glide
DER the level, ocean floor?
Beautiful, graceful, silent as dreams, they
pass away from our view,
And down the slope of the world they go,
to seek some far off shore.
They seem to be scattered abroad by chance,
to move at the breeze's will,
Aimlessly wandering hither and yon, and
melting in distant gray;
But each one moves to a purpose firm, and
the winds their sails that ELL
Like faithful servants speed them all on
their appointed way.
For each one has rudder, my dear little
lad, with a stanch man at the wheel,
And the rudder is never left to itself, but
the will of the man is there;
There Is never a moment, day or night, that
the vessel does not feel
The force of the purpose that shapes her
course and the helmsman's watclOul
care.
Some day you will launch your ship. my boy.
on life's wide treacherous seas
Be sure your rudder is wrought of strength,
to stand the stress of the gale
And your hand on the wheel, don't let it
finch whatever the tumult be,
For the will of the man, with the help of
God, shall conquer and prevail.

A SUCCESSFUL MAN.

!
Bert Thorwaldsen, the sculptor, be-
gan life under adverse circumstances.
His father drank, his mother was an
Ignorant peasant and neither of them
could give the boy the slightest ad-
vancement in life, says YouthSs Conapan-
ton His interest in wood-carving
seemed to bring out the only signs of
intelligence he ever showed at this
early age.
AS one writer says, like Claude Lor-
raine, who could never be taught to
make tart-though his father was a
pastry cook-nor to read book, he
was quite dense to the charms of read
ing. Yet he could carve wood and
when he was IL years old friend pro-
cured for him admission to the Danish
Academy of Fine Arts and there he
made marvellous progress.
At the age of II he won small silver
medal awarded by the academy as a
prize for drawing and modelling and
about that time he was required BY the
laws of the Lutheran church to present
himself for confirmation. The chap
lain, however, in examining him, found
him SO deplorably ignorant of the SIM
plest book-learning that he was about
to send him TO the lower form, when he
happened to ask:
"Was the student who gained the sill
yer medal your brother or any relation
to your"
ut was l." responded Bertel, con-
fused, and the good olergyman's tone
and look changed at once.
Here Thorwaldsen," said he, respect
fully, you may go into the upper
form"
In the years of his prosperity Thor
waldsen used to declare that he had
never felt such elation as at the first use
of that respectful title.
His fellow-students at the academy
remembered him as very silent and
shy; youth who cared little for their
sports and escapades but who worked
while they were talking and who gen.
orally finished his preliminary sketch
while they were deciding how subject
should be treated. Yet he was not self
confident and an approaching contest
for gold medal filled him with such
alarm that his fellows had only to say:
"Thorwaldsen, remember the examine
tion!" to set him trembling.
On the appointed day he appeared
with the rest, but when the subject was
given out, "Heliodorus Expelled from
the Temple, panic seized him and he
rose and fed. On the way out of the
building he met a friend. who persuaded
him to return, and he won the prize.
The story of his life is full of aIleviat-
ing incidents of high attainment and
idleness, and it was only after he made
visit to Rome that he awakened to the
true meaning of an artists life. There
after he lived on the full flood of public

encouragement to Matrimony.

A short time since the British treasury
appointed a new class of female clerks,
the women typists, ranking between the
sorters and telegraphists and the lady
clerks. Among the regulations contain
ed in the treasury minute of March IL,
1894, a paragraph headed marriage"
appears. This regulation states that a
gratuity not exceeding one months sal
ary for every year of service may be
granted to an officer who leaves to be
married after six years service. At
present pensions or gratuities are only
presented to those ladies who leave the
service through illness or i'll health.

Story of an Admiral.

An amusing anecdote is related of the
English Admiral de Horsey. who some
years ago had command of the British
feet in the Pacific and was Admiral of
the North Atlantic Squadron. One
evening he was dining on shore at Port
Royal. Jamaica. On returning to his
flag ship after dinner, his way to the
boat led him across the barrack square.
A black sentry of one of the West India
regrements halted him at the gate with
"Who goes dar?" Great was the adj
miral's annoyance to discover that he
had neglected to get the password before
leaving the ship.
That's all right" he said, carelessly,
hoping to overcome the mans scruples
by his Indifference; "you know who I
am"
Dunno nobody. sah,' replied the col
ored soldier, pompously you can't 60 in
dar."
"Why. I'm Admiral de Horsey."
"Well, you can't go in. G Iidon't care if
you's Admiral de Donkey"

who knew all the time.

But neighbor woman, when she
heard Winona, came and said: 'Pretty
Flower Woman has put him in the
snow" and Winona looked, and sure
enough there was the pretty baby in
his wrappings with the funny beaded
hood on his head lying fast asleep in
the snowbank, just as if he were in
the warm hutl Winona caught him
up and brushed the snow off and car
ried him into the house, and laughed
over him, she was so glad to get him
back again.
And Pretty Flower Woman do you
think she deserved her pretty name
after that? No, her father and moth
er said, "She is not Pretty Flower
Woman any more, she is 'The-girl
who-threw-away her brother" an d
was not that terrible name for any
little girl to bear? And all the will
age had to know that her name was
changed, and how she had tried to
harm the pretty baby, and she had to
bear the name until she was big
girl, and had learned to love the little
brother, and to be kin and gentle to
him; and then Standing Bear and
Winona said to the people of the will
age, "She may have her name back
again, she does not hate her brother
any more. Sheis now Pretty Flower
Woman again." and just as soon as
she had heard that, and the people of
the village had said, eyes, it is good"
she just went to her brother and
Rugged him, and told him that now
she did not hate him any more, and
that she was Pretty Flower Woman
again.-Christian Work.

PeabOdy's Words.

The words of Peabody 1.-THE millionaire
merchant) to American boys can not too
often be repeated. Here they are:
Though Providence has granted me
an UNMARRIED and unusual success 10 the
pursuit of fortune in other lands, am
still in heart the humble boy who left
yonder unpretending dwelling many,
very many, years ago. There is not a
youth within the sound of my voice
whose early opportunities and advanta.
ges are not very much. greater than
were my own. l have since achieved
nothing that is impossible to the most
humble boy among you.
"Bear in mind that, to be truly great,
it is not necessary that you should gain
wealth and importance. Steadfast and
undertaking truth, fearless and straight
forward integrity, and an honor ever un-
sullied by an unworthy word or action,
make their posseesor greater than
worldly success or prosperity. These
qualities constitute greatness"

come from land of sun and flowers.
Where all day long, in the spicy bowers,
I sported at will till a whispering breath
Told me the tale of old Winters death;
When away flew DER the barren plain.
Waking to greenness and life again
Bud and blossom and sparkling brook,
Moses and ferns in many nook,
And the naked trees donned leafy dress
AS 1 swept them by with soft caress:
Away and away DER mountain and sea,
I knew the sweet things that were waiting fol
me:
The nests to be built and the grasses to grow,
The bees to awake and the roses to blow;
The butterflies wings to be painted so fine,
And the fruit to get ripe on the clambering vine
/ few and flew till the earth and the air
Were filled with beauty everywhere.
