Some Hard Sense.

Life is not picnic. OF course, there
can be lots of fun crowded into it, in a
proper way, but on the whole it is a
matter of hard and earnest work.
The men who work the hardest are
the happiest.
Those who are happiest in their work
are the most successful
Every lick you put in now will be Of
benefit hereafter. No matter what your
pay may be do the best that is within
you.
We can't all get rich by lying on
fowery beds Of ease while others fight
to win the prize or sail through each
day with colors at the masthead and
every yard of canvas set Work is the
most healthful, invigorating tonic that
poor human nature can help itself to.
Remember that if you are we'll and
busy you must as result, be happy.

The ordinary Chinese, writes an
American resident of Shanghai,
whether in city or village, takes his
breakfast at the teahouse or restau-
rant. 1t consists almost entirely of
meat rolls or patties. They are dip
ped in vinegar, soy or solution of
red pepper, when eaten. Sometimes
the steamed rolls, after they have
grown old, are made palatable by
being toasted on a grill over char
coal fire. Another popular dish is
doughnut fried in oil. Baking is al
most entirely unknown, but there is
cake of the size and shape of an
OK rib, which is baked by being
stuck on the inside of a jar shaped
furnace, in which there is a hot
charcoal fire. These cakes are some
times circular, but in every case
they are covered with the seeds of
the sesame, which add very much to
the flavor. Another variety is
large, round cake cooked on grid
die, and which is divided into quar-
tiers when offered for sale. The Mo-
hammedan Chinese make similar
cake, of which they are also very
fond, without using any pork fat.
For the better quality Of native
pastry and confectionery rice flour
is used, but at the treaty ports and
the cities to which foreign influence
has extended many forms of sweet
cake and biscuit are made of Ameri-
can flour. Even for purely native
varieties of rolls and cakes the
American -four is now preferred on
account of its wilderness and whole
someness.-NewY York Herald.

1t Is so commonly assumed that
poetry and science are antagonistic
that an address delivered by the
poet laureate, Alfred Austin, at the
opening of new school of science
and art, deserves wide publicity.
Macaulay, with his we'll known love
Of antithesis, once endeavored to
show that as civilization advances
poetry almost necessarily declines,
and taking science as one of the
most important factors in the civil
lizing process the inference is that
poet with knowledge of scientific
facts labors under a disadvantage.
Now, however, we are able to give
a poet laureate's opinion that science
and art are complementary to one
another and not rivals. Science,
said Mr.. Austin, is exact knowledge
that and nothing more. But exact
knowledge is the foundation of all
the arts, and no man ever achieved
real greatness in any of them who
did not have the frmest grasp of
the permanent facts which underlie
them. Music, the most Intangible
and fantastic of the arts, cannot
move one step or excite a single
emotion without submitting to the
severe discipline of numbers. Final
ly, the matter of a poets verse is
not of much account unless it be ami
mated by the scientific spirit of
close and wide observation and of
loving accuracy.
1t must be obvious to any one who
has read the "Divina Commedia -
that the greatest poet of the middle
ages, than whom there was none
greater in any age, was thorough
ly familiar with all the science or
exact knowledge of his time, and
Leonardo da Vinci, who might
have equals but had no superior
in the realm of painting, was not
more fascinated by artistic concep-
tons than by what are called scien-
tific problems, and at these he la
bored indefatigably. Alike, there
fore, by necessity and choice, art
exhibits sympathetic kinship with
science. The scientific spirit, far
from being hostile to the artistic
spirit, is ancillary to it, for, as Dry
den said, Genius is perfected by
science. The noblest manifesto
lions of both have always occurred
in one and the same epoch. Athens
| produced Euclid as well as Prax-
iteles, the vigorous old age Of Mi
chael Angelo over]apped the preco
oious youth of Galilei, and Bacon
was the contemporary of Shakes.
peare. And though the century
now drawing to close has been
pre-eminently scientific century
the locomotive and the telephone
will not be more enduring than the
verse Of Byron and Tennyson OF
than the pictures of Turner and
Watts. The reasoning intellect is
the foundation alike of science and
of art, but, concluded Mr.. Austin
/ while reason alone sufices tc
science, art is reason TRANSPORTED
by emotion. Mature.

OUR v~kNQUlSHED FOES.
OF the Spanish Prisoners at Annapolis Cap
tain Eulate, of the Vizcaya, Alone
Refuses to Sign Parole Pledge.

Annapolis, July is. - Maryland's
ancient capital was crowded yesterday
with curiosity seekers, who came from
Baltimore, washington and elsewhere
by rail and by water in the hope of
getting a peep at admiral Ccrvera and
the men who fought and lost in the
great naval fight off Santiago. Those
who reached here early in the morning
were rewarded for their trouble, as
nearly all the prisoners, including the
admiral, attended divine services at
st. Mary's Roman Catholic church,
where they offered up thanks for their
deliveranCc from the fate that over
took so many of their less fortunate
comrades who fell before the relentless
fire of the American guns on July 3.
The church. which Is the only one of
the Roman Catholic denomination in
Annapolis, is one OF the landmarks of
the city, and embraces in its member
ship some of the most prominent and
nristocratic of Annapolis people.
At the close Of the services the Of
Rcers returned to the Naval academy
and spent the balance of the day in
strolling about the grounds or loung-
ing on the broad piazzas which sur
round most of the buildings in which
the prisoners are quartered. They are
rapidly becoming accustomed to their
surroundings, and seem cheerful ana
contcnted. Ample provision has been
.nade for their comfort, their food is
plentiful and of the best quality, and
clothes will be provided for such as will
accept.
Captain Eulate. of the Vizcaya, is the
only one of the officers who has thu
far refused to sign the parole pledge.
His reasons for it are that Admiral
Cervera was only required to give a
verbal promise, and that his (Eulate's)
rank entities him to the same privilege.
The authorities here have no doubt
hat the matter win be amicably ar
Hanged and that the scruples of the gall
amt officer may be overcome.

Major Webb G.. HAYES. of the First
Ohio cavalry, son of the late President

That his wound was not particularly
serious is indicated by the fact that he
is out of the hospital and again ready
