Every link In ftiendship's chain
Forged another liuk again;
Every throb that love has cost,
Made a heaven and was not lost.
Every look and every tone
Has Il seed in memory sown.
All that lives goes on forever,
Forever and forever.
SO, o soul, there's no farewell
Where souls once together dwell;
Have no fears o beating heart,
There Is no such word AS part
Hands that meet and closely clasp,
Shall forever feel the grasp.
All that lives goes on forever,

Composer of the Boer National Anthem.
The national anthem of the Beers
was written by an old lady who is at
present living a peaceful, obscure life
in Holland. She is Miss Catherine
Felicia Van Rees, and was born in
Holland, at Zutphen, in 1881. She is
an excellent musician, and in her
youth she composed several operettas,
which were performed by the Choral
Society, Utrecht. At one of these
performances she made the acquaint-
ance of Mr.. Burgers, member of the
society, who was at that time studying
theology in the University of Utrecht.
In 1875 Burgers, who in the meantime
had been President OF the South Afri-
can Republic, went back to Europe
and renewed the acquaintance of his
old friend, Miss Van Rees. One day
he begged her to write a national
hymn for the Transvaal, aud within a
few hours she wrote both words and
music for what is now the Beers
national hymn. The burghers were
so pleased with the composition that
the Volksraad of Pretoria officially ac-
cepted the work, and sent Miss Van
Rees a letter of thanks aud congratu-
lations. The hymn is very popular
among the Beers, and it is said that
the British soldiers in South Africa
have heard 1t so often that many Of
them now sing and whistle it.--Chi-
cago Times Herald.

Novelties In Dress.

The high corselet of satin, velvet or
panne promises to be a popular dress
accessory throughout the summer.
Panne is the favorite material, and il
10 fastened with handsome buttons OF
paste or Of art-nouveau.
Embroidered effects in silk, in com.
bination with open work patterns, are
steadily gaining in favor. The ma
terial most used is satin or crepe, and
tho open work is filed in with tulle,
either plain or figured, and bordered
or surrounded with embroidered eff
feet. .All styles of embroidery are
seen, with slight preference for
chenille.
1t is no longer an open question as
to who's got the button. Every
smartly gowned woman can answer
the puzzle. Satin buttons of small
size, covered with spidery net work,
are used in great quantities. Some
costumes require as many as six dozen
to trim them, according to the mode.
Paste, metal and enamel buttons are
also used on many new costumes.
Draped berthes, narrow Venise lace
yokes, pieces at the tops of decollete
bodices, accordion-pleated fronts OF
diaphanous fabrics, Greek draperies
brought from the right shoulder to the
waist and terminating in long scarf
ends, fichus of lace or chiffon, are all
in favor for evening dresses.
A novelty is canvas yelling. 1t is
usually plain, but one variety is striped
with fine, white cords half an inch
apart.

The golden sands OF Nome are not as

have used the Boer and the Puerto

mary of one of the New York Journals
big fakes was sent to the ST. Louis Re-
public. where 1t appears under a scare
head:
But a totally unexpected change has
taken place In Washington this winter

Cape Nomes gold, have induced the con-
gressional committee 10 reverse their first
ruling and decide that the Cape Nome

beach. are public land" and cannot be
staked out into private claims. any more
than the open ocean can be staked out
With this new ruling the capitalists have
fitted out a feet of big steam dredges
which will set sail for Alaska next month
These huge dredges win anchor near the
shore, run out their big suction pipes
and eat the beach away by the acre
When the old miners who expect to
sift the sand on their claims by the pail
fu see the fleet of steam dredges In sight
on the horizon the war will begin. The
dredgers know this, and they have sheath
ed their steamers with iron arnor and
mounted a rapid-tre gun on each dredge
The old miners are armed with rifles
When the dredges approach the beach
the miners viii light 20 a man 10 defend
their claims, and the dredgers are pre-
pared to NOV the beach with their rapid
fire guns. There are now about fifty
armed steam dredgcs fitting out ia Puget
sound.
This article was inclosed to the Post
Intelligencer by a gentleman who ex

early day. II was read and forwarded
to him by his wife, now in the East

thought that he Is about 10 engage IN

comment upon what is otherwise be-
meath the notice Of any reputable news

payment is the penalty for becoming

ali of the objections to the original bill
are met by the terms of the house

Opposition to the subsidy bill arises

causes. One is the ignorance OF many
editors Of the difference between the

unaware of the revolution in its terms
by the changes made through the work
of Western representatives in the house
committee The other is hatred of the
protective system, of which the ship
ping subsidy plan is a corollary. The
free trader in merchandise is naturally
a free trader in ships; and his argument
in one direction will no more bear ex-
| animation than In the other.
1t seems most desirable that there
should be full expression of public
opinion on this important measure, be-
cause the real struggle will probably
bill that passes in the senate is likely
to contain most of the provisions of the
one introduced in that body. It would
be far better that all relief for our ship

be done. Then, when a conference is
had with the house. reciprocal conces-
sions win be insisted upon. The people
should encourage their representatives
to stand firm. Not one safeguard can be

does in assigning payments to vessels
to be constructed, and in apportioning
them on the basis of American products

test. In any case, however the repre-
sentatives who have insisted on the re-
form of the senate bill by their amend
ments must not yield an inch to pres
sure from any quarter. A subsidy to
encourage farm exports and build up
the merchant marine is demanded by
the people. A plan that carries with 1t
favor to other interests than these
would provoke dangerous popular dis
approval.

PLEASURE in domination as those who
