THE CITY.

Bhe stands, with her stony beaches
Just touched by old Oceans arm.
For islands fair are sentinels there
To guard her coasts from harm.
She stretches the torch of freedom
Toward the Old World from the New.
And her towers rise to as cloudless skies
As are mirrored in Oceans blue.
She feels the pulse Of the nation.
She knows the great Of the land,
For they love the strife Of the throbbing
life
In the hollow Of her hand.
The weary and broken-hearted
Plead in her arms to rest;
The wretched hide in her mantle wide.
And the suffering In her breast.
Though forests be grand and silent
Though fields be wide and sweet
Her children learn for her voice to yearn.
And the tramp Of her restless feet.
She stands. with her stony beaches
Embraced by old Oceans arm,
Through the noise and light-through the
smoldering night.
In tide of unending charm.

IRON IN EGGS.
to His Hens-Medicine In
Hen Fruit.

There is scarcely any branch in which
20 years, but in no one branch has more
Improvement been shown than in the
compromising and putting together of
drugs. No more is the unwilling pa
tient made to swallow large doses of
Eauseating medicine, for sugar-coated
pills. capsules and waters have come
into use, and patients can now take the
most vile-tasting medicines without
any discomfort. Now comes along a
Frenchman with still more ingenious
plan which opens up to pharmacy un-
bounded possibilities of going still fur
Their ahead.
On account of the difficulty of as
similating iron as medicine, a
French druggist has sought to intro
duce it in digestible way by what he
terms ferruginous eggs.
Hens can digest iron easily, while
rendering it back through the albumen
of their eggs in form that il. easily d.
gested by the weaker stomachs of man
kind. A salt of iron is given to the
hens with grains of wheat. A dozen of
these indicated grains of wheat day
makes the hens, after three or four
days. lay eggs which are very rich in
iron already digested.
The Frenchman is experimenting
further with other drugs, and il is not
without the bounds of possibility that
we shall shortly be able to take all our
medicine in the form of eggs.-New Or.

SOCIAL TACT.
Adept mt Smoothing
Things Over.

Mons. Challemel-Lacour, Q distin-
guished member of the French acad-
envy who died lately, was noted for his
tact and readiness in socia, emergen-
cies. Both were severely tried upon
one occasion. M. Challemel-Lacour
was sent as ambassador from France
to the Swiss confederation. He called
in duo form on his arrival upon the
president. The servant who opened the
door said that his excellency was in
the cellar bottling wine, but that the
visitor could come in and wait. The
ambassador hung up his overcoat in the.
hall and went into the parlor. Pres

The ambassador bowed and smiled. It
was his own coat.
The interview being over, he went
home shivering. He sent a messen-
ger the next day for his coat, which he
had hung up in the hail."
OF all the qualities once essential to
sovereign the one most useful now is
tact. Queen Margherita of Italy, who
belongs to a house trained to kingcraft
for more than thousand years, is said
to be wonderfully skillful in dealing
with social difficulties. An incident
which occurred at one of her drawing
rooms illustrates her readiness and
delicacy.
The persons who are to be presented
at the Roman court are arranged in q
large semicirclein the throneroom. The
queen enters and passes around the
line, attended by chamberlain, who
names each person, adding usually
word or two to give the queen some idea
of their claim to notice. She asks q
question or makes remark to each
and passes on.
On this occasion there was in line q
young man from South America whose
embarrassment showed itself in pale
cheeks and terrified glances as the
queen drew nearer. At last she reached
him, and stopped. He heard his name,
saw her smile. There was roaring in
his ears; his knees shook. Every eye
was bent upon him with amused inter-
est. his terror was so perceptible.

nor?"
"I-your majesty don't know!"h he
gasped.
The whole circle smiled; but the
queens face was as calm as marble.
"You mean that our beautiful Italy al
ready has made you forget your home?
All, signor, you are skillful courtier!

shaking her fan at him. she passed on,
leaving him wondering how he came to
make SO brilliant response, while the
crowd also looked at him, respectfully
bewildered. also.--Youth's Companion.

THE WHITE MANS BURDEN,

fBy courtesy of McClure's. Magasin

rights reserved.1
Take up the White Mans burden
Send forth the best We breed
Go. bind your sons to exile
To serve your captive's need;
To wait. in heavy harness.
On fiuttered folk and wild
Your new-caught sullen peoples.
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
In patience to abide.
To veil the threat Of terror
And check the show of pride;
BY open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Mans burden
The savage wars Of peace
Fill full the mol,th OF Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
CThe end for others sought
Watch sloth and heather folly
Bring all your hope to naught
Take up the White Nuns burden
No iron rule of kings,
But toll of serf and sweeper
The tale Of common things. :,
The ports We shall not enter.
The roads We shall not tread,
Go. make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.
Take up the White Mans BURDEN
And reap his old reward
The blame of those We better
The hate Of those We guard
The cry of hosts We humor
(Ah. slowlyD toward the light:
why brought We US from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?"
Take up the White Mans burden
Ye dare not stoop to less
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloak your WEAKNESS.
BY all We will or whisper. =,
BY all We leave or do.
The silent. sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.
Take up the White Mans burden
Have done with childish days
The lightly proffered laurel.
The easy ungrudged praise;
Comes now to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold. edged with dear-bought wisdom
The judgment Of your peers

put the management of affairs general
ly with sigh of relief, which sigh /
repeated as the door of the spare
room was shut between me and the
still sleeping stranger.
Only the long, cofiin-like box was still
in my study.
Suddenly caught sight of piece of
paper which had been pinned to the
lid inside.
On it was roughly sketched ship,
some waves, and a woman apparently
drowning. What this could mean I
could not guess.
l was still puzzling over it when the
door bell rang again.
This time man stood there-he had
evidently just stepped out of a close
carriage which waited near the curb,
and he wore an ulster with high coll
lar which almost concealed his face.
II have come" he said, "to retrieve q
large box which was left here by mis-
take"
Then you have come to the wrong
man, / said, boldly. THAT box and its
contents are in my care"
AS l spoke, to my surprise two po-
licemen sprang out of the shadow of a
neighboring archway, and seized the
man before he had time to turn round.
I'VE were given hint to keep an eye
on this house, sir-by Mr.. Holmes" one
of them informed me shortly, before
they marched off to the nearest sta
ton" with their prisoner.
/ retreated indoors and waited de-
velopments. Evidently was in for
night of it, / thought grimly.
And, indeed. had only taken half
dozen pulls at my pipe when four
wheeler drove up. Inside were Mr..
Holmes, the detective; two policemen,
and my servant, Burns, with handouts
on.
"What does this mean ?" asked.
The detective came into the house and
shut the door-the cab drove off-and
l mechanically followed him into the
library.
There he turned and faced me.
1T MEANS" he said, shortly, this:
That your man servant is member of
a dangerous secret society of anarch-
lists. Mile. Seslagin (who is very rich)
had bribed one of the younger MEM
bers to sell her some papers which con-
tanned a clear and concise account of
how to set about placing bombs in
Westminster Abbey before the coming
royal marriage-in order to blow up
the whole royal party.
"Once or twice lately Mile. Seslagin's
house has been broken into, not for pur-
poses of theft, but to find the missing
papers, which she had copied and sent
to the police, but kept the originals to
put the anarchists off the scent and help
the authorities to catch them all to-
gether.
Besides, she wanted to pretend she
had not given information. She knew
anarchists and their ways, and feared
their vengeance. She little knew their
skill. They contrived this very even
ing to enter her house, drug her wine
and (while all her servants were at sup
perl they put her into this box which
they had got ready and carried her off.
THE orders were to deliver the box at
No. Mortimer street.
by curious coincidence there hap
pens to be two Mortimer streets, and
the box was brought to the wrong one.

The ordinance as here prescribed was

In the cup. Drink yet all of it," but in
the Roman Catholic church, the cup Is
withheld from the laity, thus marring
again implicit obedience. The signln-
canoe of the ordinance is indicated IN
the phrase In remembrance of Me.
This implies that it is not repetition
or continuance of the sacrifice on CAL

fellowship among participants, but
reminder of the historic personality or
Christ, of His historic death and or
His continuously impaired life The
appointment of the ordinance is a re-
hinder Of our easy loss of profound I'M

UTIIITY OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.
Mems Club at United Church Addressed
nv MyrOn IT. Scudder.

The Mems Sunday Evening club at
the United church was addressed last
night by Myron T.. Scudder principal
of the Hillhouse high school, on the
subject 1.-THE Function of the High
School in Higher Education" The ad-
dress was of very interesting nature,
many points being discussed that would
convince almost any one of the utility
of we'll equipped high school and the
need of every one in these days Of hav-
ing such an education as the high
school affords. Mr.. Scudder said that
there were so many complex problems
that started the young man and the
young woman in the face when they
left school that they needed the higher
education to solve them. In the high
school the minds of the young are in
in matters besides those of
pure money getting, and that higher
and loftier ideals are culti-
waited. There is great need of practical
knowledge, and the hands ought to be
taught to work as well as the brain.
This portion of the work is done by the
Boardman school in this city, but there
should be a manual training depart
ment at Hillhouse. However, If it was
decided to place one in the school the
present building would not be adequate.
The young people should be instructed
in the practical side of human life. The
speawer was of the opinion that new
high school building is an imperative
necessity.

CONSOLIDATION OF CLUBS.

No Steps in That Direction Taken by
Quinnipiack Club and Republican
League.
The report published in an afternoon
paper Saturday to the effect that a
movement was on foot for the CONSOLE
dation of the Republican league and
the Quinnipiack club was somewhat
misleading. AS a matter of fact, no
steps towards uniting the two clubs
have yet been taken, although individ-
ual members have discussed the matter.
There has also been some talk of a con-
soldation of the Republican league, the
Graduates club and the Quinnipiacl1
club, and of their buying a certain large
centrally located residence for use as a
club house. This is all in the air at
present, however, and no official action
has been taken in regard to the matter
by any of the clubs mentioned.
