peated on the other. No matter which
direction the ship may be sailing, the
passenger is shy one whole day when
he gets TO that point. The weekly cal
endar operates from different sides Of
the sea and the result is this conflict.
In crossing the Atlantic from London
to New York the passenger gains slight

York to Chicago he adds another hour
to the three or four crossing the ocean.

Yokohama. In crossing the Pacific the
traveller comes TO the time when he
catches up with the procession and
drops a whole day out of his life as
easily as lie glldes through the water

Sydney Smith was very happy in his

long hours III training them. One little

Mr.. Jeffrey Unexpectedly arrived. Hs

Thus he was proceeding in triumph
when Sydney Smith and his wife, with
three friends, returned from walk and
took i'll the festal scene. The great man
advanced, with extended hands, and
greeted his old friend in an impromptu
which has become familiar to the read
