ssThe Sea! The Sea 10


We all went one day, says w. J. Still
man in The Atlantic, to Coney Island,
on the southern shore of Long Island,
since a popular bathing place for New
York, but then solitary stretch of
seashore, with a few bathing boxes
and temporary structure where bath
ers might get refreshments.
We drove out in my brothers buggy,
and as at a turn in the road caught a
glimpse of the distant sea horizon I
rose in the buggy, shouting, 1.-The sea,
the sea" and in an uncomfortable fren-
~ caught the whip from my brothers
hand and slashed the horse in wild de-
lirium, unconscious of what l was do
ing. The emotion remains ineffaceable
after more than threescore years, one
of the most vivid of my life.
And how ecstatic was the sensation
of the plunge into the breakers, holding
fast to my brothers hand, and then the
race up the beach before the next
comber, trembling lest It should catch
me, as if it We're a living thing ready to
devour me. They never come back,
these first emotions of childhood, and
though l have loved the sea all my life
l have never again felt the sight Of it
as then.

Marie Antofnette's Necklace.


1t must have been in 1862 that Mey-
erbeer paid his last visit to London,
and 1 saw him at one of the Philhar-
monte concerts, which were then held
in the old Hanover square rooms.
There was quite a futter of excite
ment when the little old man, looking
extraordinarily wizened and wrinkled,
even for his age of 6S, came into the
box. 1 noticed his piercing eyes and
hooked nose and perhaps as much as
these a magnificent brooch of rubies
and diamonds that blazed in the cen
ter of his shirt frill, which he wore in
the fashion of 1880. The stones flash
ed and glittered with every one of his
quick little bows to right and left, and
the rubies connect themselves with a
tale of his great predecessor in Paris.
the mighty Gluck.
After the first triumphant perform
ance of one of Gluck's operas the
queen sent for him to come to her box
to receive her congratulations. Half
daZedswith emotion, excitement and
fatigue, the old musician, rising from
his Obeisance. clapped his hands to his
eyes. crying with horror, Blood, blood
round the queens neckY'
1T is only this, Gluck," said Marie
Antoinette, hastily snatching off her
necklace of rubies and holding the rip
ping gems toward him, and Gluck
looked again and saw the fair, white
throat rising unframed and stainless.
He died in 17S1.-Cornhill.

In New York. New Rich societ

A salient feature of the reign Of tho
new rich is the habit of estimating a
mans success in life solely by the mon
ey he has acquired. There are gather
ings Of society in New York where If
the question were asked about fellow
citizen, HAS he been successful?" the
answer would be in the negative had
the person inquired about not accumu-
lated wealth. No matter whether he
had served his country as a soldier,
statesman or philanthropist, had led
the youth of his generation as a college
president, had been an educator of the
people in school or pulpit, had achieved
wide renown as jurist, had written
great book, had held multitudes en-
thralled by his poetry, had painted no.
BILE pictures, had advanced science or
surgery, had created a leading news
paper or magazine! Nothing Of all this
tells. He is not success" because he
has not piled up dollars to flaunt in the

dent aud general manager of the Rock

I'VE want to discourage cigarette
smoking among our men. Cigarette
smoking is q bad habit and tends to be-
fog the mind. Experience has proven
that the confirmed cigarette smoker Is
usually sleepy and of no account.
THE Rock Island company will en-
ploy only the best men obtain able,
persons with clear brains. Railroad
work is exacting and requires such
persons. 1 do not think cigarette
smoking conducive to clear brains.
With this in mind, we now ask every
applicant for employment whether he
imokes cigarettes."
No man, regardless of his ability as
q railroader, can now secure q position
on the Rock Island road If he is addict
