The chief street Of Christiania is the
broad Karl Johans Gade, which leads
up from the eastern station to the pal
ace. Here ON opposite sides are two
buildings Of Importance, where young
men flock to study and old men meet to
legislate. The proximity of politics and
learning recalls the conception Of Stein,
who hoped that the presence of great
university in Berlin would have good
effect on the government. The chief
Prussian and Norwegian temples Of the
thoughtful goddess were founded within
a few years Of each other. Both have
displayed readiness to welcome new
ideas and furthered the cause Of free
dom in countless fields OF thought.
The life and movement of the city
are practically confined to this street
and the harbor. There the dramatist Ib-
sen is in the habit Of walking every day,
and his countrymen are said to regulate
their watches by his appearance. 1t was
my fortune to lunch in restaurant at a
table not far from where he sat, but his
face did not specially attract me. Those
who feel more sympathy with his works
and relish his portraits Of exceptions
would be fascinated by his grim and
grabbed features, unrelieved by any
frank or genial smile, for of such are
the worlds reformers.
Inclosed in a shed on the grassy
ground behind the university buildings
oro fyuo vikiuo chipc which dato from,
the middle ages. No relics Of the past
are more essentially poetic than those
which mark the earliest triumphs of
man in his awful struggle with things.
According to all accounts, the lot of
Norwegian fishermen and peasants is
still peculiarly hard, for nature is a
cruel stepmother, and life becomes al
most tragic for them by excess of work.

eAultl Robin GrRy."

A ballad that won instant fame
against the expectation and even the
wish of its author was "Auld Robin
Gray" written by Lady Anne Lindsay
about the end of the last century mere
ly for her own satisfaction to replace
the coarse verses Of an old melody that
pleased her. She sang charmingly, and
the new ballad soon came into favor.
Great was the curiosity aroused as to
the author CT this pathetic song in
whose simple verses all the elements Of
heartrending tragedy are contained,
but Lady Anne, modest and retiring by
nature, preserved silence for many
years, smiling no doubt at the contro-
versy that ragged so hotly. In the course
of it her ballad was attributed by some
disputants to David Rizzio declared by
others to be genuine sixteenth century
production and finally made the subject
Of a 20 guinea prize to be bestowed On
anybody acute enough to bring to Light
the veritable author. Maga-

Madras rhruderstorms.

AS the result Of his prolonged study
Of those striking phenomena, the thun-
derstorms of Madras, Professor Smith
informs the Scottish Meteorological So
ciety that the first remarkable fact OBJ
served by him was that of certain sea-
sons Of the year when sheet lightning
appeared almost every night, always in
a west or southwesterly direction and
invariably near the horizon; it may be,
therefore, he remarks, that these dis
charges occur i'll the region where the
moist and dustless sea wind meets the
dry and dusty land wind, one being,
perhaps, positively electrified and the
other negatively. In these lightning dis
plays as many as 800 flashes per minute
have been counted, this rate being kept
up for an hour or an hour and half.
Another notable popularity remarked
of this region is that the heaviest rains
are unaccompanied by thunder, while
the displays of lightning are not accom-
panied by any rain.

without it she would lose the brightpess of
her eyes, the fullncss of her cheeks and her
vivacity. Health brings all these things
but health means more than most people
think of. Real health must mean that a
woman IS really woman. That she is
strong and perfect in sexual way, as web
as in every other. That she is capable d
performing perfectly the duties of natern-
ity. Upon her strength in this way depends
to large extent her general health, her
good looks and her attractiveness. Some
women. are born stronger .i-e- oil-ls.
Some are born with what is called con-
Stitutional weakness" 1t is easier for some
women to retain health and strength than
it is for others. Some seem able to do any
thing they like, whenever they like, with
out serious results. Still, there is no rea-
son why women should not enjoy perfect
health. Thosc who do not, need only take
the proper precautions and the proper rem
edy to become perfectly well and strong.

SHAKsspEt4E's SONNETS.

This is the holy niissal Shakespeare wrote
For friends to ponder When they grieve alone.

It's ioy and fear, its ecstasy and moan.
Our strength and weakness each was felt by
him;
He yearned and shrank. rejoiced and hoped
and blei.
Nor ever will his sacred song be dim,
Though he himself. the friend of friends. is
dead.

Or when the morn seems blithe, yet not

The meter rurmuring at your bended ear.

But the same burden weighs upon my heart.

Delaware has been called the Dia-
mond State, for, though small in size,
1t formerly was of great political i'm
portance. 1t also enjoys the nickname
of the Blue Hen State, this having
been bestowed on account of gentle
man named Caldwell, who made the
state famous in sporting annals by the
quality of his gamecocks, which he al
ways bred from the eggs of blue hen,
believing that this was the best color
for the mother of gamecock.

To Restore Faded Flowers.

Flowers that have been packed and
are fading from exhaustion may be re-
stored to freshness if the stalks are
plunged about an inch deep into scald-
ing water. By the time the water be-
comes cold the flowers will have reviv-
ed. Cut off the ends Of the stalks which
have been softened by the hot water and
put the flowers i'll vases with plenty of
cold water. Cut flowers are likely to
keep longer if you cut off with sharp
penlknife little piece Of stalk every
day. Cut in slanting direction The
strong odor of the water in which wall
flowers have remained may be remedied
by adding a little charcoal or disinfect-
ing fluid. .-Philadelphia Telegraph.

Joy is the handspring in the whole

above the slough OF despOnd, but have
a pretty hard time of it what with one
thing and another, and just now the
whatnot in the parlor is one Of my most
irving besetments. One cannot sit in
the big chair now without danger of
knocking the whatnot over. The first
time I tried it the chair rocked back
and brought up against it. All the bot
ties and jars and vases Oh the shelves
nodded violently, many of them beyond
recovery, and these went down with
that slight but compact crash that thin
china makes when it falls.
'Then I had to keep the whatnot al
ways in mind. If l sat in the rocking
chair at all, I had to sit in it carefully.
Once when I had forgotten about the
great calamity and had jumped up rath-
er suddenly the chair rocked back and
touched the whatnot again, this time,
however, not so hard only few things
fell. But now have given up the chair
altogether, for with the whatnot at its
back it is no longer a comfort to me.

me, and I wait with patient cheerful
ness for the next new arrangement,

aRcHER'S FAvoRITE HORSE.
Pathetic Story Of the Famous Jockey and
the Steeplechaser Fatigue.

the SCeeplecnaSer caGkSues
Archer, the celebrated jockey, was
riding in steeplechase, his mount being
q horse called Fatigue The man was
fond Of the horse, which returned his
affection with liberal interest. At the
last fence the horse fell and broke his
leg. Archer, though Of course thrown,
fell away from the horse, and was not
badly hurt The pathetic scene that fol-
lowed is described by Vogue:
He started away to deliver news Of
the accident and arrange to have the
horse shot, but was stopped by hearing
a whinny. Poor Fatigue could only lift
his head, but he was looking after and
calling the rider he loved SO we'll
Archer returned to the horse, and sitting
down on the turf. took the poor Great
ure's head in his lap, and sent boy
with message for what was necessary.
Meanwhile the horse lay still, except
for an occasional spasm Of pain.
No one wanted to shoot poor Fatigue.
A small boy finally volunteered, if no
one else would, but he'd "a heap ruther
not" When the pistol was finally given
him his small hands trembled SO that
Archer took tho weapon from him, say
ing:
"You're nervous, lad; you'll bungle
it. He sha'n't have his pain added to.
He'll never know what put him out Of
his misery" Addressing the horse, he
added, eff I wasn't fond Of you I
couldn't bring myself to do it; but you
sha'n't run risks of being hurt more"
With one hand he caressed the horses
head, with the other he put the pistol
to the forehead.
"Good by, Fatigue, old chap, good
by,' and he pulled the trigger.
Fatigue hardly struggled, but settled
down, dead, with his head still on his
favorite riders lap; and Archer sat
quite still till the last quiver was over,
his head bowed, and did not notice that
the red was staining his clothes.
