Baron Pierre de Coubeftin writes an
article for the Century on Building Up
a Worlds Fair in France" Baron Cou-
bertln says: Not long ago | read in a
French newspaper that the Emperor
william, while studying In detail the
conduct OF the Spanish-American war,
had been particularly impressed by the
excellence OF the citizen soldiery of the
United States and by the efficient aid
which they rendered the regular troops.
This, however, was no surprise to me,
for | have long been OF the opinion that,
even In the art of war, the thousand
and one complications with which the
old world Is saddled are In no wise In
dlspensable, and that, although 1t may
not be possible TO %lnproyise soldiers,
there should be little difficulty in max
Ing good soldiers out Of free citizens.
In short, we see that though Europe,
through all phases of national exist
ence. has remained complicated, Amer
lea has retained It's original simplicity,
which. indeed, Is the chief characters
tie OF transatlantic civilization, and
gives II just that Elasticity. that posi-
blllty of progress, thar rapidity Of real
ization, which makes II n civilization
superior In many points to ours.

CUMBERLAND

At anchor In Hampton Roads We lay
On board of the Cumberland. sloop-of-
.eEar,
And at times from the fortress across
The bay
The aiarum Of drums swept past
Or a bugle blast
From the camp on the shore.
Then far away to the south up rose
A little feather of SHOW white smoke.
And We knew that the iron ship Of our
foes
Was steadily steering its course
To Try the force
OF our ribs Of oak.
Down upon US heavily runs.
Silent and sullen. the floating fort:
Then comes a pun of smoke from her
guns
n leaps the terrible death.
With fiery breath.
From each open port.
We are not idle. but send her straight
Defiance back in a full broadsidei
As hail rebounds from a roof Of slate
Rebounds our heavier hail
From each iron soale
or the monsters hide.
"Strlke your faei' the rebel cries
In Ills arrogant old plantation strain.
'Never,' Our gallant Morris replies.
1T Is better 10 sink than 10 yield!'
And the whole air pealed
With the cheers of our men.
Then like a kraken huge and black
She crushed our ribs in her Iron grasp
Down went the Cumberland all a wrack,
With a sudden shudder OF death
And the eannon's breath
For her dying gasp.
Next morn. as the sun rose'over the bay,
Still noated our flag at the mainmast
head.
Lord. how beautiful was thy dayi
Every watt of the air
Was a whisper OF prayer
Or a dirse tor the dead.
Ho. brave hearts that went down in the
seas,
We are at peace In the troubled stream
Ho. brave land. with hearts like these.
Thy nas. that is rent In twain.
Shall be one again
And without a seami

EASY FOR MoRpHY.
A story Of the Great Chess Master
and 81 Celebrated Painting.


On reading the notes on Paul Nor.

minded Of an incident in connection
with his visit to Richmond about the
same time. which was related to me
ONE years ago by the Rev. Mr.. II. %
that city. | do not remember ever To
have seen it in print MIR. Morphy was
Mr.. II. s guest while in the city, and
ON his arrival was first ushered into the
library, and his attention was ut once
attracted ly u painting over the man
tel. which was a fine copy of a celia
DRAFTED painting representing a game of
chess between a young man and the
devil, the stake being the young man 5
soul.
The artist had most graphically de-
picted the point in the game where it
was apparently the young mans moye,
and he seemed inst to realize the fact
that be had lost the game. the agony Of
despair being shown in every line of his
features aud attitude, while the devil
from the opposite side of the table gloat-
ed over him with fiendish delight. The
position Of the game appeared utterly
hopeless for the young man, and Mr.
II. said lie had often set il up and
studied it with his chess friends, and
all agreed The young mans game was
certainly lost.
Mr.. Morphy walked mp to the picture
and studied il for several minutes, when
finally, turning to Mr.. H., he said:
II can win the game for the young
man"
Mr.. H. was Of course astonished and
said, "ls 1t possible?"
Mr.. Mo ply replied. "Get out the
men aud board and let us look at it,"
The position was set mp, and in a few
rapid moves he demonstrated a complete
win for the young man, and the devil
was checkmated Robert Munford in

WRECKED THE VESSEL.
A Possible Danger of steam Jets "a,
Fire Extinguishers.

Ettt tAhFfH
For many years steam jets have been
considered excellent means for extin-
gushing fires in inclosed spaces, and
examples OF their good services have
been abundant. The theory of their ao-
ton of course is, like hat of the several
kinds Of fire extinguishing powders
which have been proposed at different
times, that the steam in the II case
aud the sitting fumes from the powders
Ia the other displace the air in any par
ticular space under consideration, and
with it the oxygen as well, by which
slone combustion can be sustained.
In at least one instance, however, the
position was taken that il the steam
Jets did not %extinguish n fire promptly
they soon became "A source of danger,
ind as such were held accountable for
the loss about a year ago OF "A cargo
steamer carrying several hundred tons
Of coal and as many more of miscel-
ianeons chemicals and old rope. Fire
broke ont in one Of the holds, which
were fitted with steam jet fixtures, and
the Jets were at once turned ON. On
rhe day following it was proposed to
try q hose in addition to the jets, and
one of the upper deck matches was
therefore taken of.
The almost immediate result was a
violent explosion, killing one Of the
officers and seriously injuring another.
All the other matches were blown of at
the same time, and the ship began to
leak, SO that she oon had to be ADAM
doned. One explanation advanced was
that the steam from the jets, passing
over the iD%cnndescent cargo, formed
water gas, which, with suitable air ad-
mixture, became explosive, with the
result noted. The theory is not a com
forting one. but whether it portrays a
possible condition Of things yet remains

hungarian Gypsy aIInstreI..

The gypsy Ministries form a caste by
themselves. Their appearance is always
more swarthy than that of other Hun
garian musicians, their dress is some
times purposely fantastic, and their
manner of life is far more Bohemian
than the most liberal minded artist
would care to to. Every hotel and
restaurant IN Budapest possesses its gyp-
sy band, and the method of payment is
as free and easy as the mu sic itself and
their life. The hotel keeper is not
bound by any contract, but at various
intervals throughout the performance
one of his gypsies takes a dinner plate
and goes round among the various guests
in the hall from table to table, receiving
in the plate what the latter like TO put
there. The favorite coin deposited there
is the nickel 10 kreutzer piece, answer
ing to our twopence. l have not often
seen "a form or a kronen (half a fiorin).

up of twopences. Good Words.
