eyes she folded her hands upon her
breast n'silent prayer.
The prophetic spirit In which the
young creature had spoken was soon
apparent.
rapid change passed over the fair
face; the power of utterance suddenly
failed; but while life fingered her
grateful and beseeching eyes were
raised to the face of Bridget, at whose
breast the little creature so soon to be
orphaned nestled in comfort
The next night white hammock
was lowered into the sea beneath the
solemn starlight.
The passengers and crew stood
round while the captain read the funer-
al service; his voice often faltered, and
at intervals deep sob was heard; 1t
burst from the bosom of Bridget Ryan,
who, with both children clasped In her
arms, knelt upon the deck.
When the solemn ceremony was over
and the fair form of Dora had sunk
many fathoms to its deep and silent
grave, low wall of excessive anguish
broke from the lips of Bridget.
Dora Callan, Dora Callan," she at
length uttered, with a deep fervency OF
tone, which was in itself eloquence,
why have you gone from me-from
me whose heart loved you like its life?
But who may keep what the Great
Maker wants? Bright be your place
among the angels. Welcome be your
fair face where all is beautiful. Och!
shall l ever forget how sweet you
were, how kind, how loving? When
you wake from your great winding
sheet, Dora mine, may we who mourn
you now meet you rejoicing"
Then her voice sank till its murmurs
became inaudible. While rocking her.

weather had gradually come on, and a
more than common activity on board
declared that some exigency was ap-
preaching.
Low winds seemed from afar gather
ing clouds that soon overspread the
sky, till the hollow, dismal wailings
became long bowls and hoarse shrieks,
and the darkness grew into blacklist
night. Oh, for the pen of Cooper to
portray the storm which broke above
the devoted ship, while 1t reeled and
staggered amid the rage of contending
winds and rolling seas.
The captain and crew did their duty
firmly.
Perhaps there is no energy, no cour-
age, superior to that OF English sail
ors; no sense of duty so high, SO per-
fectly, so nobly, fulfilled.
Vain were all their efforts; the sea
surged above the yards, sweeping down
on the doomed bark, which would
bravely rise again and again above the
briny deluge. Desperately she plowed

A silk balloon enclosed in net and
carrying car equipped with all Of the
necessities of life as well as the ma
terial to generate new gas, is to be
used for voyage to the North Pole.
Every contingency has been provided
for and the three scientists who make
the voyage are confident OF success. It
is thought that the time occupied for
the voyage from Sweden to Spitzber-
gen and the needful preparation will
consume between four and five weeks.
Every care has been taken to strike
the most favorable season and weather
for the voyage. DR.. hansen agrees
with Mr.. Andree as far as prevailing
winds are concerned and also about
the topography Of the country. At the
time when the trip is to be begun the
Polar winds will materially assist in
the navigation, and as there are no ex-
tremely high points, 1t is hoped that
the balloon will float at no very great
elevation above the earth's surface. A
sufficient amount Of generating mate
rial will be taken along to keep the
balloon going for six weeks, even
though there should be, as there al
ways is, more or less loss of gas.

As there are 4,s60 hills on an acre
when crops are planted three feet
apart each way, it is easy to see that
the maximum crops of corn or pota'
toes are very much above the average.
One bushel of potatoes to 30 hills
would give 1877 bushels per acre. One
bushel of corn to ASA hills would give
1Ol As bushels of corn. 1t should
seem as if these yields might be at
tanned by any farmer, but they are
not.
