National Phenomenon.
Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore describes in

which she has observed on one of her
many visits to the long-lived Chinese en-
pire.
"There are three wonders in the history

and the Great Tide at Hang chau, the

On the eighteenth night of the second

year.. the greatest 1ood-tides from the
Pacific surge into the funnel mouth of
Hang-chau bay to the bars and flats at
the mouth of the swift-howing Tsien-
tang. The river current opposes for a
while, until the angry sea rises and rides
on, in a great, white, roaring, bubbling
wave, ten, twelve, fifteen and even TWEEN

White Thing, charges up the narrowing
river at a speed of ten to thirteen miles
an hour, with roar that can be heard

world, worth going far and waiting long

Why Americans Go Abroad.

An American consul has been discuss
ing the reasons Americans have for go
ing abroad so frequently and in the num-
bers they do. He thinks they are prin-
cipally three; first, the desire to educate
their children in Europe second, the
greater cheapness in the cost of living,
and thirdly, a growing dislike of the
American yellow press and its methods.
The last is no doubt factor in the case,
for its tendency to vulgarize everything
is very offensive tc those who aim at re-
finement and the enjoyment of life. This
apart, however. it is natural for such
Americans as can afford it to seek
change of atmosphere and surrounding
in the older forms of civilization.-Sco

Elaine's Pigeons.


One bright May morning almost exact
ly two years ago 1O-year-od Elaine Mont
rose, with her mother and father, Capt.
Montrose, embarked at Southampton,
England, OH great steamer bound for
Cape Town. War with the Beers then
seemed quite near at hand though many
Englishmen sill svoffed at the idea that
conflict would amount to much. Capt
Montrose had been ordered to join his
regiment, which had gone Oh before and
which had been sent to strengthen the
garrison at I.adysmith. AT first the cap
tain had told his wife and daughter that
it would be better for them to remain in
England, but they would not hear of it,
and beside they had cousins who lived at
Ladysmith and with whom they could
make their home while at that place.
Both wife and daughter wished to be
near the captain, even though it led to
danger and possibly the horrors of war.
To ight-hearted Elaine the voyage was
one great delight. The many days sail
on the blue ocean, the delightful RAM
bles about queer Cape Town, which is
such strange mixture of English
Smartncss and Dutch crudeness, and final
~ the interesting journey by rail to
l4adysmith, all seemed like one long glo-
Only one incident occurred to mar the
pleasure of this trip for Elaine. At a
funny little station, where the engine
stopped to get water, two or three young
Boer lads leaning upon their rifles We're
idly watching the few passengers who
were walking up and down Oh the plat
form waiting for the TRAINS departure.
Now among the home treasures which
Elaine had insisted OH bringing with her
was a wicker hamper containing four
pet carrier pigeons. These she watched
ever and fed all through the long jour
ney. AS the train was at standstil
she thought it il good opportunity to have
look at her pets and see that they were

But you can imagine the dismay and
the tears when one morning Capt. Mont
