A skye shattered steel that pals the sight,
And one long shaft of sun that seems to write
Vast letters slowly slate Of sea;
The dfeary wall OF guls that skim the crest
or snllen breakers sliding In to land,

And shadow-shapes that stride across the sand.
The gray beach widens. Foot by foot appear
Strange forms of creeping from the waves,
Like ghosts that stcal in silence from their graves
To watch beside the death-bed Of the year;
Poor shattered shapes OF ships that stood out
Fulfreighted to the far horizons sweep
To music Of the CHEEKY saior-shout
OF men who sought the wonders OF the deepi
Poor shattered shipsl Their gallant cruising Ger,
Their cargoes coral crusted leagues below,

Mute witness to the leness OF men
Who battle with the Sovereignty OF sea.

A new system has just been started
among trained nurses in New York
City and other cities, which will Ger.
tainly prove boon to the majority OF
patients and must eventually prove
very lucrative to the nurses them
selves. There are thousands Of peo.
pie who are ill, aud yet cannot az
ford the luxury Of a trained nurse.
Again there are others who do not need
the services Of nurse ell day and all
night. The first class cannot have
them on account Of the expense, and
consequently suffer and are ill longer
than If they could have only a portion
of nurses care. The SECOND class
are not i'll enough to need the constant
presence Of a trained nurse. The
nurse can now be hired tocome in and
assist at an operation, to visit the pa.
tientat' certain hours. dress wounds,
bathe or change or otherwise mala
them comfortable in a manner such az
a woman trained to such work along
Ican do. Many sick persons are made
very. nervous by the presence Of an ab.

with them. 81 often prefer to die

The average distance of discovery oi
a torpedo boat by the searchlight from
a battleship has been calculated to be
7S1 yards, and the greatest distance
1000 yards. Thus, taken the distance
at which the torpedo can be fred
with effect at 500 yards, 1t will be gen.
orally found that a torpedo boat will
have to cross about 300 yards under
fire from the ship she is attacking.

A French PIckpocket.

There is a dilettantism even in
thieving. A Partisan pickpocket who
is now enjoying a well-earned rest
from the excitements Of his profession,
has revealed some of his very curious
methods. At one time he donned the
uniform of an officer of marines, dec
Grated with the Legion OF Honor. and
found his way into the society of
naval officers, much to their detriment
and to his own enrichment. At an
other time, in the guise of priest, he
visited ecclesiastical establishments,
and under the pretext of charity re-
lieved the holy fathers of their little
superfuous cash. Then again he
would array himself in ordinary civ
ilian dress, representing himself as a
silk merchant, and would have bales
of that commodity sent to his address.
Then the dealer in bicycles became
the victim Of this versatile swindler.
At last, as his repertoire necessarily
became limited, and as his fame had
preceded him to one OF his intended
victims, he had the misfortune to be
recognized and handed over to the
police. e.-Westminster Gazette.

Sees Virtue in a Pipe.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Even though window curtains and other
draperies do become impregnated with to-
bacco smoke, it IS In many cases very I'M
wise in wives to object to their husbands
using tobacco in the house. No woman can
fully realize the unspeakable amount of
comfort a man extracts from a pipe or a
cigar after hard days work followed by
a good dinner An English feminine writer
has seen great light in this matter and
is distinctly in favor of snoking-for her
husband. To this woman home would not
be home without the man who smokes,
without the odor of tobacco, and she gives
reasons why she likes to see her husband
smoke. He is not one of the men who
never have pipe out of their mouths, but
nice, sensible, temperate fellow, who,
when business is over, settles into an easy
chair, fills his pipe, lights 1t and unfolds his
evening paper.
Then, to my fancy, man is at his best
she declares, for while I work he reads
aloud the choice parts of the news which
ne THINKS will interest me. Should he have
encountered more than an ordinary share
OF difhculties or trouble he forgets them
all after he has finished nicely-cooked and
carefully served dinner, and is ready for his

MOnograms on Gloves.
From the phl.sdelphia Inou,rar

FROM the Philadelphia Inquirer.
A fad which had its origin in London
among the extremists or ultra smart women
of that metropolis has reached US here, but
Is as yet so exclusive as to be practically
unknown except to a few of the 'elect. "
This is the embroidering of monographs on
gloves. Gloves made to order with mono-
grams are devoid of stitching, and the mon
ogram is embroidered in the center Of the
back OF the hand. Those which are pur-
chased from stock and then embroidered
have the monogram set between the thumb
seam and the first row Of stitching, and
others have it placed on the wrist below the
stitching. This latter position is not alto
gether very advantageous one. as glove
usually wrinkles so much at the wrist that
the monogram is apt to lose its prominence
and the small amount of beauty 1t might
otherwise possess.
The most popular. If the new fad may be
said to be popular so soon arc the self
colored embroidered monograms. These dec
ofations are so striking, even in self-col-
oring, that few will be brave enough to
hazard so striking contrast as white on
black, or vice versa.

A SUMMER CLOUD.
One of the Prettiest and Dainties1
Conceits of the Season.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From HarperS BaZar.
The name of summer cloud" is very ap-
proprately given to one Of the daintiest OF
hoods, whose feecy folds are equally becom-
ing whether they frame the bright face OF
a young girl or rest upon the silver locks
of a grandmother.
The materials are not expensive. no great
skill is required and the work can easily
be done out of doors a breezy piazza. A
yard and a half of white cotton point
d'esprit, double width-the square dots
should be three-quarters of an inch apart
will make two, the fabric being cut along
the fold. Single width can rarely be OBJ
tanned in sufficiently good quality. Half
hank Of single white Germantown wool for
darnng and five laps of white spit zephyr
will also be needed Be sure that the shade
of white is the same.
Commence by making very narrow hem
along the sides and across both ends OF
the net. Then thread darning needle
with the Germantown wool, and beginning
at one end draw the wool, double. under
each square dot from one side to the oppo-
site one, pulling it closely-but not so tight
as to quicker the material-across the space
of net between the dots. Cut the wool
when the other side is reached and repeat
the process with the next line of dots,
continuing in this way until the whole
length of the net is covered. Next, with
a pair OF sharp scissors cut through the two
threads of wool between the dots, exactly
IN the middle OF the space. They are held
nrmly In position by the dot, and the Clip
ped ends of the wool springing up have a
feathery effect. With crochet needle of
the proper size to suit the split zephyr make
a single crochet stitch at one end through
the narrow hem then chain two inches
long. the stitches of medium length and
fasten into the hem half an inch from the
first. Repeat until the loops have been
made around the sides and ends. Their.
commencing half way between the ends of
the nrst loop, make a second row. fastening
each In the middle of the space between the
shos OF the first row. Sometimes the fringe

The OId-Time Gabrielle.
A Sensible Health Fad.

FROM the Wonan's Home Companion.
Women have begun to understand that
health as well as wealth trends upon the
Footsteps of outdoor work. Several broken
down society leaders in a certain western
town have had the courage to persist in
half days garden work regularly for a
stated period. The result Is very much
more in their favor than they had dared
to Imagine. Improved circulation, rest and
digestion have thrown themselves in the
balance against disordered nerves, sleepless
nights and the hollow eyes and worn face
attendant upon prolonged social dissipa-
lions. and nature has inserted her i'm
mortal rights before the paints and lotions
and powders. the paraphernala of the
toilet table. The rosy health and whole
some strength of the average English wo-
man is the outcome of her outdoor life and
exercise.

None of the sophists hired to
maintain the gold standard has
yet told the laborers how thew
can get the valuable gold dollar
they talk about. The laborer can
only prosper when there is a de-
mand for his labor. The gold
dollar, by reducing prices, while
all fixed charges remain the
same, destroyed the purchasing
power of the country, and this
destroyed the market for the
only thing the laborer had to
sell-that is, his labor. Until
this purchasing power is restor-
ed there can be no great demand
Tor labor, and this purchasing
power OF the country, especially
OF the debtor classes, can only
be restored by rise the selling
price of things, and this can only
come through an increase in the
