In fact the visitor ia at first i'm.
pressed that there is nothing in his
makeup but strict, cold, unrelent:ng
business, and woe be to the one un-
der his supervision that fails to
come up to the mark. Perhaps this
first impression will be found TO be
entirely correct, for if there ia
water in place that should be dry,
or if place is dry where there
should be water, or if a lamp is
burning at an unreasonable hour, he
| is sure to call the responsible party
to an account. But this man OF
strict business habits finds time To
speak e. the blind boys and girls

all is the atmosphere that impresses
itself upon all who come into her
presence. Thus | found it. The

navies and every Englishman has
read of their doings with a flush
of pride. There was the same
old, hard pounding as the Eliza
bethen sea dogs used; the same
curious mixture of steadiness,
daring, GOODNESS and reckless
dash. The moral aspect of what
was almost the first and of what
may be the last fleet action be-
tween the Spanish and English
races is very much alike. In
both cases it was the men behind
the gun, who, in the last resort,
won the battle.
"The battle shows that the Anne
rican Navy is a most efficient
fighting machine. We did not
need to be told that here. We
knew it already and realized of
what stuff the lions whelps are
made. They, however, did not
know it on the Continent, though
they apparently know it now"

found Impression Over Seas.
London, July 9.-The weekly
newspapers today, in discussing
the war, all pay glowing tributes
to the American Navy. Even the
Saturday Review says: at is i'm
possible not to feel a certain pride
in the achievements of men of
our race. Every Englishmen,
too, will remember that it was the
possession of this same quality,
the fine craftsmanship which the
Americans displayed, which gave
US victories both on land and sea,
from Crecy to the Crimea, and
something peculiar and noble
happened in this fight which
showed in a far higher way the
kinship between the two peoples.
Don't cheer shouted Captain
Philip, the poor devils are dying
1t seems to us that this expression
of tender, sympathetic humanity
is just as fine as the Kiss me,

This interesting key of Loeb Leven
Castle is still in existence. It was
found in the lake, and is supposed to
have been the one thrown in by young
Douglas, when Mary queen of Scots
made her escape. The key was orig
innllyin the possession of William Hamp-
or, Esq, who presented it to Sir Walter
Scott, having first had an engraving
made of it. The Castle of Loeb Leven is
situated on an island of about two
acres, near the northwest extremity of
the lake. Queen Mary, when she dis

tive to Edinburgh, and on the follow

On the 25th of March, 1878, she at
tempted to escape from thence, in the
guise of laundress, but was frus-
trated. On Monday, May 2, 1868, how
ever, while the family were at supper,
the boy, William Douglas, secured the
Keys of the castle and gave egfess to
the queen and her maid from tbe strong
hold; then, locking the gates behind
them to prevent pursuit, he placed the
fugitives in boat that lay at hand, and
rowed them to the appointed landing
place on the north side of the lake.

THE LANGUAGE OF EDEN.
Said by HiEhlnnders to Have Deen
Gaelic.

The Scottish Highlanders have al
ways been firmly convinced that Adam
and Eve used eta Gaelic;" and it is
gratifying to find that philologists, as
they grow wiser, are coming round to
the same opinion, says the Scottish
American. 1t is true that they have
made no express admission to this eff
feet as yet, but there is evidence that
we are on the eve of am acknowledge
ment that Gaelic was the original Ian
guage of the human race.
The latest deliverance on the subject,
if it does not altogether silence these
skeptics and scoffers VINO derided this
article of Highland faith, ought to at
least make them give pause. DR.. Lett
ner, distinguished German orienta.ist
and philologist, has declared Gaelic To
be contemporary or derivative of the
Prahit, closely allied to the spoken ,;un-
guage and out Of which Sanscrit be-
came a written language" He even
goes so far as to assert that there seem
10 be in the Gaelic certain suryivals
of prehistoric language"
Clearly this point in the direction Of
the Highland contention, and the pres
crt acknowledgement, therefore, a.
though tardy, and not, perhaps, quit ,
so full as might be desired, will no
doubt be welcome.
But Gaelic has another distinction.
1t is, as even the Sassenach knows, the
language to swear in. The distinction,
however, is that one does not quite har-
monte with the theory of it's Para
disaical origin.

TWO BROTHERS.
A Touching Instance of True Broth

Hero is the story of two brothers
who stuck to one another through lie,
and in death were not divided, says Les
lies Weekly. They were PAST 60 years
or age, and, being reported III ant! dCs-
titute in the old house where thoy
lived alone, were removed 10 Ee.ir,E.
hospital. Each, though helpless, wa.
anxious to take care of the ether.
Nacn asked if they had any friends.
both gave the saline reply: THE beet
friend 1 have in the world is my brother
here
On their cots side by side they lay
dying. yet neither appeared to have any
thought of his own suffering, but asked
continually that something be done for
his brother. The elder one died first,
saying: "Good-by, John, dear. Cod
bless YOU" Less than four hours after
this farewell John breathed his last.
The next day-it was the day after
Christmas-the two brothers lay side
by side in the morgue, where an aged
woman, who had been their friend,
c.:ne and identified the bodies, promis-
ing 10 notify relatives who would see
tAat they were buried together.
Such is q real incident from the great
epic of daily life in the metropolis, and
it points it's moral better than some
fiction.

THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
It's Limitations and the Curious Uses
Sometimes Made Of 1t.

Philadelphia Record.
The new congressional library at
Washington is now in full running
order.
AS the law provides that a copy Of
every copyrighted book published in the
United States shall be presented to the
library, there is an enormous collection
of books, upon a great variey of sub
jects, good, bad and Indifferent, but
there is, on the other hand, a remark
able paucity of standard literary works,
especially of those published in other
countries. A student CT Italian litera-
ture recently presented list Of Is clas-
steal works in that language at the
librarians desk, and was told that none
of them was in the collection. 1t was
said, in fact, that the library had had
but one Italian book, and that had been
lost.
1t was learned, on further inquiry,
that the principal use made of the lib
rary by Congressman is to obtain the
latest novels for the ladies of their
families. Occasionally some curious
acquisitions come from Congressman
in search of knowledge, as was exemp-
lifted in a recent memorandum order
sent to the librarian for a copy of the
Encyclopedia Botanical"
