/ cast longing eyes TO the summit OF
the mighty Peak of Adam. 1t seemed
to rise sheer from the sea. over which.
literally piercing the clouds, 1t towers
to the height Of more than twelve
thousand feet: but the idea of attempt
ing to climb it within so short space
of time as we had to spend on shore
never occurred to me, but what feat
1t would have been to relate when
returned to Erlesmere!
The morning was early yet; the sun
was barely above the now cloudless
horizon; so the shadow of this stupen-
dous cone was cast not only over the
whole island, which seems to form
merely its base, but to the far horizon,
perhaps beyond it; for there are writ
ers who assert that in clear weather
Cape Bojadore, that dreary and bar
rem promontory of Africa, ninety miles
distant is visible from its summit
Did the waves of the sea ever over
flow that mighty peak? At such
question the mind becomes lost in
conjecture.
AS l am not writing a descriptive
book of travels, but merely a plain
narrative Of my own very recent ad-
ventures, / need not detail at great
length, either the magnitude or the as
pect Of this great island mountain OF
the Atlantic.
From cliffs re III
against which the ocean pours in vain
its foam and fury we assembled the
steep slope of the volcano for a few
miles. Then at our feet, as it were,
we could see that fertile island, where
a perpetual spring seems to smile, and
where the fragrant myrtle, the golden
orange trees, and the dark funereal
expresses form the mere hedgerows of
those plantations where the sugar
cane, the broad leaved plantaln, the
luscious Indian fig, the trailing vine,
the fragrant cinnamon and the pretty
coffee bush, were all flourishing in a
luxuriance that filled US with wonder
and pleasure.
Further off was the boundless sea, of
that deep blue which it borrowed from
the sky above, and mirrored in its
depth were the shipping in the road
stead, with their white canvas hang
ing loose TO dry in the sun; the green
woods and dark rocks reflected down
ward, and the old turreted castle OF
Santa Cruz, with the scarlet and yell
low banner of CASTLE and Leon on its
time-worn ramparts.
The summit of the great cone, on the
clothed sides of which we never tired
of gazing, soon became lost in vapor;
far above the dark green belt of many
miles. named the Region of Laurels.
and that other belt or forest of timber,
where pines, chestnuts, and oaks of
vast size mingle their varied foliage
together the mountain seemed all OF
violet tint, which paled away into faint
blue as its apex mingled and became
lost amid the gossamer clouds.

With regard to table decorations It
is hardly necessary to say that In the
days of the Romans floral displays
were nothing less than extrayagant,
though the designs may have lacked
the elaboration now necessitated by
the exigeneies of public modern taste.
Roses especially, above all other
blooms, were in high favor and Law
ishly distributed about the dining
halls; indeed, it is to rose that we
owe a very common expression. A
bunch of these flowers often hung
from the ceiling and was taken as a
sign that the subject of conversation
must be confidential-hence the ex-
preston sub rosa.

The exigencies of luxury and love of
display led many Romans into ex-
tremes, both with regard to general
surroundings and to actual articles of
food. One Of the gallantries du temps
was marked by showering down upon
the assembled guests, through the
open ceiling, flowers and rose petals
in such quantities as to prove uncom-
Portable for the recipients of such ia
vors. Even less extravagant hosts
covered the floors of their rooms with
rose petals and the guests were pre-
sented with wreaths of the same love
ly bloom, as it was said to have the
property of neutralizing the fumes of
the wine; amethysts, which were be-
lieved to have the same effect, were
worked into the wreaths. The women
adorned themselves with flowers Just
as they do now. with the difference
that the Victoria showers" and the
stiff buttonholes of our day had not
yet been invented, but the amethyst
was never added, possibly because
they were proof against the danger of
intoxication, for 1t was not etiquette
for them to partake Of wine in public.

Dewey says he did not officially recognize
Aguinaldo or his putative government at

Congressman Tawney. Of Minnesota,
has introduced a resolution for the crea-
ton Of an additional standing committee.
to be known az the committee on insular
AFFAIRS, to have Jurisdiction over legisla-
ton affecting the insular territory ''ac-
quired or occupied" under the treaty Of
Paris and also the island Of Tutuila, in
Samoa. There will be ample work for
such committee. and the senate might
probably follow the example OF the house
in this matter. Legislation for these is
lands will be too far-reaching. important
and distinctive in character to be COM
mitted to the care of the territorial COM
mittees already sufficiently overburdoned.
The new committee will be one of the
most important in the house, and doubt
less will be composed OF the best ma
terial in congress. The reference to
occupied, territory can only mean Cuba.
and the status Of that island IL such
that its AFFAIRS should remain under the
control OF the committee on foreign at
fairs
