WHEAT FIELD IN SHIPS HOLD.
Freak of Nature in a British Tramp Steamer Presents Strange
 Sight.

A field of grain in steamships hold was one of the curious sights recently seen in the port of Philadelphia The vessel was the British tramp Elwick. Many persons were attracted to the ship to view the interesting exhibit, says report from that city.
 The ElwiclS, under command of Capt. Clark. has been running between Phil adelphia and English ports, carrying wheat and corn in bulk. She returned from the other side on her last voyage. partially ballasted with dirt. It was owing to the latter that the growth of grain was possible.
 The. interesting discovery was made bya foremast hand who had occasion to go into the hold. He reported to the captain that the Elwick was grow ing wheat crop. Capt. Clark made an investigation and found that such was indeed the case.
 Many grains of wheat remained secreted in hooks and corners in the hold after the ship had been dis charged on the other side, and the pitching of the vessel on her trip to the United States caused them to fall upon the dirt. The grain soon sprouted in the warm and damp hold and it now presents remarkable appearance.

HARDENING A LITTLE QUEEN
Wilhelmina of Holland Has Been Taken Out in All Kinds of
 Weather

It IS incorrect to say ssthe little queen of Holland' any longer, sal- though for many years yet Wilhel- nina will be young. She not only has the gift of youth, but is strong and well. Ever since she was baby, writes one of her subjects in the Pall Mall Mag gazine. she has been taken out in all weathers in an open car riage, and has thus been hardened to the outer world.
 Many who saw the delicate child braving the east winds have trem- bled for her health; but if these same doubters saw her, few years later, watching the autumn military maneu- Eers on horseback, on an open moor, in steady downpour of rain, they would have acknowledged the com pletc success of the venture. They would have seen how the clustering wind and the little rivulets that tricllled from her hat only served to heighten naturally superb appetite, which it took many sandwiches from mothers carriage to appease.
 The royal hat was tilted back little to give the simple luncheon chance of keeping dry, and the invi- tations of mother to take warm corner in the victoria were banter ingly refused.
 lWilhelmina's soldiers will never forget that scene on the n-drenched heath. Perhaps they enjoyed it more than mother did. She, poor lady! may have felt like the hen whose chicken took to the water. only in thIs case mother had been teaching the chick en how to swim.

 This case is ont serious but quite amusing. It transpired few evenings ago at the graduation exercises, among those present were teachers of the di- vine word as well as the teachers of every day school studies. The above mentioned evening being rainy one of the teachers engaged the services of a hack. Now it happened that a pleas ant man generally admired by the la dies sought the pleasure or accompany ing the lady home which offer was ca g. erly accepted but he made no mention of paying the hackman's tariff, conse- quently there is wailing and gnashing of teeth over the extra quarter paid for his conveyance, although this is not leap year it may be a tip to some other young man.

: head sank on my shoulder and she gave way to passion of tears.
 You shall not" I said, soothingly and I took care to keep to my word,
 As he tried again and again to see her, took her away down Littlehamp- ton, hoping that the sea breezes might bring back the color to her white cheeks and the light to her heavy eyes.
 I tried to turn her thoughts from her individual sorrows to the glorious des- tinies of our privileged generation, en- abled to see daily more and more clear ly behind the veil that hides from us the spiritual world.
 But she seemed to have no heart for the sea in fit of abstraction, from which I could with difficulty arouse her.
 One day I left her sitting in this man. ner in a quiet part of the beach while hurried home to see if the post had come in.
 Did you meet your visitor% my landlady asked as I entered. T said as low you would most likely be down by the sea-
 What visitor?" asked, in alarm.
 "A lady as came about 'alf an hour ago. q breathed sigh of relief.) She said as low she'd try to find you, and if she couldn't find you, she'd come back 'ere."
 I hurried back to the place where I had left Elfrida. She was walking up and down in earnest conversation with a lady in black, no longer young, but still showing traces of past beauty, and with that indefinable look about her which sometimes stamps woman with history"
 But what had come to the child? Her eyes were bright and sparkling, though unshed tears stood in them; her cheeks were flushed and her lips trembling. The statue I had left behind here had come to life.
 "Aunt Sophy!'' Elfrida cried, 'this is Mrs. Lesillien, Laurence's motheEl and"
 The elder lady interposed: "I have with great difficulty discovered, Miss Darmfelder, what was the obstacle to my sons happiness, for he would tell me nothing I hurried down here at once to assure Miss Stanford that I would not intrude myself into my son s future ife am willing to go abroad and remain there if she requires it. But I find she was under misappre- hension altogether"
 Elfrida hung her head and blushed.
 I was speeches. with amazement, and hardly heard the rest of her con versation.
 She refused all offers of rest and re- freshment, saying she must hurry back to town. But she must have found time to send off telegram, for an evening train brought us down another visitor.
 And he has been down here constant ly since, and by his extreme civility I see he has not quite forgiven me yet.
 He takes Elfrida long walks on the cliff, which certainly improve her looks.
 They are to be married in August, and, though am glad to see the child look so happy, shall never cease to deplore the loss of such an invaluable recruit to the Cause.-Lady's Pictorial.

Where Americans Are Modest.

The American is shy of proclaiIning to the world his deepest sentiments and superstitions, if he has any. He prefers to take himself either as a joke or as matter of business. Hence, when he has town to name, he calls it "Smithville" or New Bris- tol,'' or, as actually happened in the case of one town, 70. K" He may believe in a local ghost, he may love his wife, he may admire the view from his windows, and pine when torn from the woods and mountains among which be passed his boyhood, but he does not want to put those emotions into the post office directory.-Wash- AAgton Times

Arabian horses manifest remark able courage in battle. It is said that when horse of this breed finds himself wounded and perceives that he will not be able to bear his rider much longer, he quickly retires from the conflict, bearing his master to a place of safety while he still has suf- ficient strength. But if, on the other hand, the rider is wounded and falls ito the ground, the faithful animal re- mains beside him, unmindful of dan ger, neighing until assistance is brought

 have left poor Elfrida weeping dis tractedly, but though proved to her that he continued these visits even after their engagement, she refuses to believe in the horrible story unless he himself acknowledges it.
 So I have written to him somewhat to this effect: "The whole story of your relations with Mrs. Lesillian, of Grove road, is known to us. Elfrida will not believe it except on your own confession, and she is heart broken at your perfidy."
 To which had shortly after this re- ply:
 ''I intended to tell Elfrida the whole story shortly, and I trusted that her love of me would lead her to remain true to me in spite of this drawback, the gravity of which I do not deny. l was wrong, of course, not to have told her in the first instance. l can only trust that her generosity and nobility of character will lead her to condone the fault of one who was more sinned against than shining.
 q entreat her to see me this evening, and to listen to my explanation"
 I showed Elfrida this extraordinary epistle. She went as white as sheet, and feared she would faint, but with an effort she recovered herself.
 'He does not deny it! He does not deny it!" she repeated to herself in voice that was like moan of pain.
 "But he wants to see you and ex- plain

which the people were walking. There,
from under the shadow Of a clump of

Jocosa had but time to throw her

day morning the wind veered suddenly
into the north and blew a fine, light
snow into the faces Of the children
who were hurrying to the district
school on the mountain road. By
noon the snow was falling so thick and
fast that a big bob-sled was sent up
from the mountain railroad for all
the able-bodied men who could work
to keep the tracks open
There were only two young men in
the Village who had work enough
of their own to keep them at home,
Sherman Keene, the village black
smith, and DR.. Abner Coulson. Not
that DR.. Coulson was particularly busy,
he had only made his appearance in
Cedarville a few months before, but
he could hardly be expected to par
ticipate in a snow-shoveling bee.
The wind rose steadily all the after
noon and the. storm settled down into
a genuine blizzard. Long before dark
it was apparent that the men who
had gone to help clear the railroad
could not return that night. keene
losed the smithy early and made
things snug at home for the comfort
of his widowed mother and himself.
Then he made his way with difficulty
through the storm 10 some Of the
neighbors, whose men-folks had gone
with the bob-sled party. and helped
them with the evening chores. On
his way home he looked in at the
widow Morse, who had come to the
door to greet him, and had seen that
she was provided with plenty of wood
and water against a wild, stormy
night. He would not have stopped
had Annette been at home, but she
had not yet returned from the school
on the mountain road, where Sc guided
the youthful minds of C~edarville
through the tangled paths of "readin,'
writin' and 'rithmetic."
That night, while the storm howled
fercely without, Sherman Keene sat
in his comfortable armchair and dozed
before a great fire of blazing logs on
the hearth in his sibting-room. Widow
Keene had long since sought her bed.
Keene dreamed of Nannette, and in
his dream she was always in danger;
what, he could not make quite clear;
but there was some danger-somethins
wrong with Nannette. The dream was
! most persistent, it would not leave
him.
Nannette and Keene had grown W
together in Cedarville. They had been
lovers, according to village gossip
since they played together as children
in the sandheaps in Mother Morses
garden. Since DR.. Coulsen came to
town there had been a gnawing cold
ness between the two. The doctor
had been very attentive to Nannette
Sherman Keene resented this and had
demonstrated with Nannette, but the
little school teacher had taken offense
and in words more hasty than wise
had sent Keene about his business, re
minding him that she was still mis-
tress of her own actions. Keene had
avoided her since that time and she,
perhaps to show that she did not care
had encouraged the attentions of the
gallant doctor. At all events, it was
with DR.. Coulson as escort that she at
tended many of the socials and enter
