MIRACLE OF THE MONSOON.
dondon Daily Mail)

ll.J
Scientists tell you that the monsoon
is Wild current which, rising among
| the Mountains of the Moon, in the
heart OF Africa, below the equator,
| crosses the Indian ocean in increasing
force. gathering rainclouds as it goes.
| 1t strikes the toe of India and there
splits in two. The larger section trav-
els along the western coast, watering
Malabar and Mysore, Bombay and
Guzerat and Central India; the smaller
section swoopS up the Bay of Bengal
and through the Valley of the Gauges
and other large rivers. On the borders
of the Punja5 the two currents re-
unite and finally lose themselves in a
drizZle and mist along the valleys OF
the Himalayas or in the rugged passes
Of Afghanistan.
The morning OF its appearance may
dawn brightly. The air is hot, heavy,
as 1T has been for weeks past. In spite
of thunderstorms the level stretches
between the hills, where the palm
groves and pepper gardens are, re-
main bare, brown soil.
That is in the morning. At noon a
mutter of thunder is heard to the
southwest. a wall Of dark cloud rises
above the horizon. Quickly it turns
into cave of purple gloom, where
lightnings play and thunders growl
louder and louder. The sea grows gray
and hurts with wild rage its sorroWf,iI
springs up-a gracious breeze. soft.
damp. and. oh, so refreshing! After
the wind comes the rain, a gray cata-
ract of blending waters.
In that one hour the seasons have
changed utterly and completely. The
hot weather is dead, with its sleepless
nights and its tortures OF prickly heat.
The rains-the blessed cool rainy sea-
son-has begun.
NOW. behold the greatest miracle
within the space of a day: the bare
earth is clothed in verdure-a gossa-
mer garment on the first day; on the
second day the texture Is closer and
thicker. and on the third the whole
landscape is vista OF fairest green.

A MOTHERS GIFr-(A BInLE.)

The following beautiful poem is re-
published by request:
Remember. love. who gave thee this.
When other days shall come;
When she who had thy earliest kiss
Sleeps in her narrow home.
Remember, twas mother gave
The gift to one she'd die to save.
That mother sought a pledge of love,
The hottest. for her son;
And from the gifts of God above
She chose goodly one.
She chose for her beloved boy
The source of light, and love and joy
And babe him keep the gift; that when
The parting hour should come.
They might have hope to meet again
In an eternal home.
She said, his faith in that should be
Sweet incense to her memory.
And should the scoffer. in his pride,
Laugh that fond faith to scorn.
And bid him cast the pledge aside
That he from youth had borne
She babe him pause and ask his breast
If he, or she, had loved him best.

Goes with this holy thing:
The love that would retain the one
Must to the other cling.

AT OCEAN VIEW.
A PROSPEROUS sEAsON-THE BIG
TURTLE ATTRACTS MUCH
ATTENTION.

Ocean View. Aug. 4-This is the live
lest season that Ocean View has ever
seen. and the patronage at the Ocean
View Hotel continues unprecedented.
One notable feature Is the length of
stay of the guests. This is much
longer than heretofore, and there is
more disposition to spend the Summer
at this popular resort than ever be-
fore.
There are large number of guests
at the hotel who came from dis
lance, many from other States. and
Chief Clerk Mcdowell has been obliged
in a number of cases to write parties
to delay their visit little on account
of the lack of rooms.
THE BIG TURTLE.
The big turtle that was captured at
Ocean View by fishermen is now on
exhibition at the View in large tank.
1t Is over five fet across either way,
and weighs over 100 pounds. 1t is an
object of great interest to all visitors
to Ocean View.
THE TWO THEATRES.
Ocean View is probably the only
Summer resort south of Atlantic CITY
that maintains two Summer resort
theatres. Each of these presents high
class vaudeville, and the respective
managers vie with each other in Sc
curing attractions of the most popular
character.
The bathing is excellent. and Mr..
Mcdowell says the hotel bath house
business this season will break all for
mer records.
Cottage life is one OF the pleasant
features at the View, and ere many
years the line of Summer homes will
stretch for miles along the coast down
to Willoughby Spit and around on
Willoughby Bay.
MIR. STOKES SUMMER HOME. =
At the head of Willoughby Bay is
now rising the handsome Summer
home OF Mr.. Sylvanus Stokes. proprie-
tor of the Monticello Hotel. Mr..

INDIGNATION AGAINST CHINA.
Besides these talks, n number of the
Emperor's utterances made privately
this week at Bremerhaven, have become
current. all showing that his indigna-
ton against the Chinese is still strong
as ever.
In official circles here 1t is stated that
there is strong divergence on the sub
1ect of the policy regarding China be-
tween the Emperor and the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, Count Won Buelow, the
latter being aware that Germanys aims
at obtaining suitable satisfaction in
emma are seriously hampered by the
Enperors impulsive utterances. 1t is
Iurther stated that hot words have all
ready passed between the Emperor and
count Won Buelow on that subject.
VANCES.
The Associated Press correspondent
mere understands that before an adj
vance upon Pekin was definitely de-
c1ded upon the Powers concluded that
hereafter they would not consider the
chinese third-hand advances, because
1t has now been shown that the
Chinese Government is not willing to
allow the legations to freely commune
cate with their home governments.
The conclusion was also reached unan-
,imously by the Powers that Lii Hung
Chang was playing false, his main OBJ
1ect being to retard or Illustrate the
advance on Pellin by various ruses, of
which Chinese statecraft Is always a
master.
MORE TROOPS FOR CHINA.
Indications increase that Germany is
preparing another large body of troops
for China. The latest news on this
point has been given by the Frankfurt
Zeitung, saying that despite the alb
sence OF official admission of the fact.
II Is certain that three other large
steamers of the North German Lloyd
line have been chartered for Septem-
Der. and that in the Cabinet an order
Ia impending for the formation of
corps of 10000 men. Opposition papers
criticise this because the Reichstag has
not been asked to sanction the step,
and point out that another heavy army
increase will be asked at the fall SEES
sion of the Reichstag for the organi-
cation Of colonial reserve army.
