The Trade Wind.


The southeast trades are almost as sure
in their operation as Is the recurrence Of
dow and night. The homeward- bound sail
ing ship, once having been swept rouhd
the Cape of Good Hope in spite OF adverse
winds by the irresistible Aguihas current
usually finds awaiting her southeTly
wind. Sailors refuse to call IL the hrst OF
the trade, considering that any wind blow
ing without the tropics has no claim 20 be
called a trade" This fancy matters lit
lie. The great thing is that these helpful
breezes await the homeward-Dounder close
down 20 the southern limit Of his passage
await him with arms outspread N wei,

turning of his ships head homeward, per-
mil the yards 70 be squared and the course
10 be set as desired. And the ship, like a
doclle horse who otter a long days jour
nev finds his head pointing stabeward
and settles steadily down 70 climbing
pace, gathers way in stately fashion and
glides northward al a uniform rate with
out any further need of interference from
her crew
throughout the long bright days. with
The sea wearing one vast many-dimpled
smile and the stainless blue above quiv-
ering IN light uninterrupted by the pass
age OF a single cloud, the white-winged
ship sweeps serenly on. All around In the

OF change OF form. When day steps
abruptly into night and the myriad glories

ship still passes ghostlike upon her placid
way, the steodfast wind rounding her can
vas into the softest OF curves, without

How Doubts May Exist as to the De-

How Doubts May Exist as to the De-
tails OF Best Regulated Families.
From the New York Tribune
The census euumerator arrived at che
tenement Of the Cassidys early IN the
morning and found the whole family at
home. He mentioned his business, and
Mr.. Cassidy said. "Ah, you're the cinsus
man. are ye? l was lookin' for we and
I'm ready for ye. Yen find"--
The census man had found a little
trouble in some of the tenements and
thought that he saw more of IL, so he cut
Mr.. Cassidy short. ~ suppose you know
he said, that II you refuse TO answer any
OF my questions you will render yourself
liable to arrest?'
"Ye mistake me initiation" said Mr.
Cassidy: I'll put no obstacles in yer way.
On the contrary when | say / was look
in for We, | mean l have me mind es-
peciauy composed, and I'm ready TO give
We the best answers in me power; so let :
both OF us irrigate our throats and then
we'll be ready for business. Now lets
look upon this as serious and go ahead"
What is your manner" asked the enun-
orator.
Mr.. Cassidy thought for a moment and
then said: There can be only one answer
TO that. so far as l can see; me name is
James P. Cassidy"
what is your relationship to the head
Of the famlly?"
"Ah, now" said Mr. Cassidy. that's
not SO easy. Ye see, I'm tho head OF the
family meself, and so ! can't say all In a
minute what relation l am to meself I'll
have to think about II. Roin' the son OF
me father IL might seem like 1 was me
brother; only there was no other boy IN
the family but me. and so l have no
brother; and bein the grandson OF me
grandfather. / might be me cousin; only
then me uncle would have TO be me IA
Their. and he was not that, and so / dun
no.
Don't trouble yourself about all that"
the enumerator said You are the head
Of the family; that Is all want 10 know. "
ME SON." said Mr.. Cassidy, I'm dis
thressed 10 see you're not takin' that Sc
rious iuthreset IN yer jules that's be-
comm In a young man appointed for the
public service by Billy Mack. The ques-
ton OF me relation TO mesef is not a
question 70 be settled offhand. And so do
We tell Billy Mack that III give me sa-
rious thought TO II and let him know as
soon as possible. and In the meanwhile, do
We 70 on 20 the next question"
THE next question is your color. but
