"rhe Sea! The SEMI

We all went one day, says w. J..
Stillman in the Atlantic, to Coney Isl
and, on the southern shore of Long
lsland, since a popular bathing place
sor New York, but then a solitary
STR tch of seashore, with few bath
ing boxes and temporary structure

We drove out in my brothers "buggy, "
and as, at turn in the road, caught
a glimpse of the distant sea horizon, /
rose in the buggy, shouting, "Ehe
sea! the seal' and, in an uncontrolla-
BILE frenzy, caught the whip from my
brothers hand and slashed the horse
in wild delirium, unconscious of what

ineflaceable after more than three
score years, one of the most vivid of
my life. And how ecstatic was the
sensation of the plunge into the break
ers, holding fast to my mothers hand.
and then the race up the beach be-
fore the next comber, trembling lest
it should catch me, as if it were liv-

Altogether there are 302 different

One of the amazing features of tho
war has been the incredible swiftness
with which the Beers seem able to
move from place to place, taking
their heavy guns with them. They
get over mountains like coyotes over
prairie. They have anticipated with
mastery foresight every attack or ad-
vance made by the British. And all
this, too, while concealing their own
designs and numbers from the enemy.
Transvaal Beers and Free State Beers
are all alike, and Cronje seems as

Deaths From Consumption.

Owing to the mortality from con
sumption in the French Army, which
has been for some time very heavy
and has much exceeded that arising
from the same cause in the German
Army, return showing the rates of
mortality from this disease prevailing
in different European countries has
been compiled by the French military
authorities, Russia heads the list with
a mortality of four per thousand of its
population; France and Austria
Hungary come next with three deaths
per one thousand of population; Ger
many, Switzerland and Ireland stand
in the third rank, with two deaths per
thousand, while England, Scotland
and Italy come last with one per thou
sand. But consumption is not the
only disease prevalent in the French
Army; enteric is scourge, the NOR
tality from which amounts to twenty
eight per every 10000; whereas, in
the German Army the death rate is
about twelve per 10000. Army and

story of Kipling's Child.

This tale has to do with Kipling's
little lost Josephine. Once the poet
was driving up Arundel street in Lon.
kon toward the Strand when, all of a
sudden, the hand of the "bobby''
ahead was raised. The word was
passed down the street that Her Ma
iesty was coming along the Strand on
an official visit to the Lord Mayor at
the Mansion House. Josephine had
never seen the Queen and Kipling
thought it was good opportunity to
instil little reverence in her. He
raised the child high in his arms that
she might see Victoria. The outriders
pranced by, followed by the royal car
riage. When it was all over, and the
finger of the law was lowered, Kip
ling put down the child. He said,
"Well, Josephine, what did you think
of it?"
Much to his amazement, the child
replied, Papa, did you see the
funny red soldiers on horseback
Thereafter Kipling never exerted
himself to point out Her Majesty to
any member Of his family.

A New York correspondent o;
Chicago paper deplores at some length
the apparent tendency of the fashion
able set in tho eastern metropolis to
raise bull pups instead of babi, s. He
notes the fact that on Fifth avenue
one seldom sees a baby, but that dogs
are in evidence in every block. One
looks in vain into the fine carriages
on this fashionable avenue to see
baby face, but it is common thing
to see "a little woolly dog cuddled
contentodly beside his mistress.
The correspondent elaborates with
sickening detail the costly luxuries
which New York fashion provides for
its pet CANNES, and then comments
upon the difficulty OF finding homes
in that city for destitute children.

How They Arranged It.

During the Civil War the law school
at Cambridge was presided ovor by
Professors Parsons, Parker and Wash
burn. They were divided in their
political views and each did his best
to maintain his opinion. Professor
Parker was one day asked: "How do
you get along ON politics at the law
school" Nicely" he answered;
"we are equally divided" "But how
can that be-" continued the inquirer,
"since there are three of your" Easy
enough" replied the professor; "Par-
sons writes on one side and 1 on the
other, and Washburn--he speaks on
one side and votes on the other. -

During the first eight years Of En-

During the first eight years OF EN-
peror William III. IS reign. it has been
estimated. the expenditure on the
navy was trebled as compared with
the eight years preceding them. The
sum of S68, $50, 0o0 was spent on fresh
construction, including seven battle
ships, eight monitors, six large cru
isers, thirty-eight torpedo boats and
the imperial yacht HohenzolleTn. The
debt of the German Empire, it has
been pointed out in the Freisinnige
Zeitung, has been trebled hetweenl
the death of William l., in 1888, and,
the year 1897. 1t now amounts to
$535, 900, 900.

REMoRsE,

Tell all we ever meant to sny
Before they went their lonely way;
Ohl surely fools are we and worse,
To add unto our primal curse,
BY steadfnst striving to conceal
The love that In our hearts we feel.

Remorso's stream flows ceaselessly.
Not like the cooling waters flow,

But llko the Lawn streams that pour
From mountain tops to oceans shore,
Turning the region whore men dwell
Into the counterpart OF hell.

In endless stream from sire to son,
Leaving its black and deadly trace
On every soul OF all our race.

The Secret or His Popularity.

Dean Hole, Of Rochester, England,
tells OF very innocent and gentle
curate who went to Yorkshire par
ish where the parishioners bred horses
and sometimes raced them. He was
asked to invite the prayers OF the con-
gregation for Lucy Grey. He did so.
They prayed three Sundays for Lucy
Grey. On the fourth the clerk told
the curate he need not do it any more.
