LongfeIIow,s Advice.

Madame De Navarro gives some
charming pictures of Longfellow in
"a Few Memories" She says that ev-
cry conversation with him led to some
good result His first advice to her
was: "SeeC some good plcture-in ma
ture If possible, or on canvass-hear
a page of the best music. or read a
poem daily You will always find a
free half hour for'one or the other, and
at the end of the year your mind will
shine with such an accumulation of
jewels as to astonish even yourself"
THE poet was fond of a coed ANUS
ing story, and had many to tell out of
his own experience. He was particu-
larly delighted at the ingenuity of an
enterprlslng vender of patent medl
cine, who vaunting the marvellous eff
feots Of his drugs, NO doubt in the
hope of inspiring the poet invited him
to write verse for the label, prom
islng aim percentage ON each bottle,
and a free use of The medicine for
himself and family.
"on one of his birthdays ne was as
tonished at seeing a wagon containing
piano drive up to his house, followed
by strange young lady in carriage.
4 - e young lady informed the house
keeper that she wished the piano TO be
put in room where 1t would Sound
we'll, as she had composed piece of
music in honor of the poets birthday
and meant to play it to him on her
own instrument"
"Longfellow was a great lover of
music, and Wagner appealed to him
strongly. We heard several operas to-
there He generally arrived before us,
armed with flowers, and full of de-
lightful anticipations. On one of these
occasions some one sent a magnificent
boquet to our box. Not knowing the
donor, did not take it up He insist
ed on my doing so.
" Put down my simple ones, he
said, and take up these beau,.lul flow
ers. 1t will crafty the giver, who is
no doubt in the house. Try never to
miss an opportunity of giving pleas
ure; it will make you happier and bet
ter
Kindness was the keynote of his
character. No Inconvenience to him
self was too great if a good turn to any
one was at the end of it."-Youth's
Companion.

THE CRANK

A crank's man who does not think
According to my plan;
And I'm a crank to him because
am that sort of man.
his world Is full of cranky folks,
Who do not mink alike;
One prods opinion with pin,
Another drives a spike.
One kicks because the weather Is cold,
One just because it's hot;
Until between the whole you see,
They keep boiling pot.
Some folks acquire wisdom much
And spread it all about,
y hile others with a paddock shut
Their stores Of learning out.
One says that he'll is mere on earth
Though punishment is slow;
Another says that hell's a place
Where wicked people go.
lis divers minds that turn the world
THIS world of many cranks;
A master hand Is at the helm
All! Does he get our thanks?
There is one thing all minds agree
In the same channel slip
We are weak mortals when we get
What | have. got-The Grippe.
Horace Gray.

The Venezuelan Boundary.

The British-Venezulean arbitration
commission made its award yesterday,
and in doing so in all probability
brought to a peaceful end long and
famous controversy which at one time
threatened to produce a serious con-
fllCt of arms. The fact that the decis-
ion of the tribunal is said to have been
unanimous will give great weight to
its action, and ought to prove effect
ual in preventing any refusal to abide
by it. AS was to have been expected,
the extreme claims of both Great Brit
ian and Venezuela were rejected by the
tribunal and a boundary line recon-
mended which gives each country less
of the disputed territory than it claim
ed. The whole area in dispute was
considerably larger than Pennsylvan-
ia, and contained several rich gold
producing districts, so that it will be
seen that the question to be decided
was one of great Importance
The tribunal is said to have fixed the
boundary of British Guiana at the
Wani or Guiana river, and if This is
the case then the Barima gold district,
which lies to the west of that stream,
has been awarded to Venezuela. AS the
Wanl river only extends a short dis
tance into the interior the dividing
line south of its headwaters fixed by
the tribunal can, at this writing, be
only inferred. but it seems probable
that the gold mines of Caratal, other
wise known as the Yuruari gold mines,
have also been allotted TO Venezuela,
and that pretty equal division of ter
ritory has been made. The fixing of the
Wani river as the northwestern bound
ary assures to Venezuela the control
Of the mouth of the great Orinoco riv-
er, fact which will be particularly
pleasing to the people of that coun-
try
Venezuela can feel grateful to hte
United States for securing for her a
great territory which, but for Uhe in
reference of the American govern
ment, would have certainly been Oc-
cupied and held by the British. The
assertion of the Monroe doctrine in
behalf OF Venezuela at one time came
very near causing a serious breach be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain. Fortunately cool counsel pre-
vailed, and the whole matter was sub
mltted to the international arbitration
tribunal which has just decided the
matter in a manner which 1t is to be
hoped will be accepted as final by all
erested.--Pittsburg Times.
