In school we used to repeat that line
/ Of Byron's-
"Roll on, thou dark and deep blue ocean,
ROLL
/ With all the variations of pitch, force,
rate, and quality Of voice. And she did
roll, And what is more she continues to
roll to-day just as she did amer we gave
that command in very rapid rate, high
pitch, and orotund voice. Byron certain
/ ly knew what he was talking about when
he made that statement and knew it
would never be disputed only by those
who had no knowledge Of the sea, since
leaving New York on the 9th inst. we
have had rough sea, but no storm.
There has not been a day when the white
caps were not cuitinS up cspers. Some
times the sea had thu appearance of the
whirlpool rapids below Niagara Falls, as
If the mighty monsters of the deep were
disporting themselves in friendly play,
or engaged in mortal combat, Again it
was the long, rolling swell that did not
break, but suggested the awful power of
its pent up fury, should it be gosded by
old Neptune's trident beyond the limit
of patient endurance. The sea is awful,
fearful, Out fascinating beyond descrip-
tion. You long to cast yourself upon it
in the spirit of fullest enjoyment and
freedom, yet stand in awful dread of its
slightest trown.
While the sea has been rough we have
been fortunate in not having to face it,
AT first the wind was from the South,
then came from the southwest, tlus
speeding us on in our way. But with all
this it gave the boat an ugly motion.
For two days we were cutting the waves
at an angle ofabout 45', so that the boat
would list to port on rising the wave and
to starbrard IN descending into the trough
again. This cork.screw or sinuous mo-
lion played havoc with the passengers.
Many bright eye grew dim and cheek
grew pale, and manly bearing and cour-
ageous mein was changed to meekness

day afternoon wore away. was sitting

pointed on account of the heavy mist
that shut out points ofinterest down the
bay when heard an exclamation and on
looking forward saw several people in
tently gazing over the rail into the depths
beneath. Some did not even get to the
rail so strong was their desire to show
what was in them. Among those resting
on the guard rail and looking intently
into the sea was a young lady, like the
ladies of Belgium's capitol on the eve of
the battle of Waterloo "who but few
hours before were biushing at the praise
OF their own loveliness," who reminded
me of little verse heard a few years
ago. Here it is:

There is sometimes wide interval
between the conception of a mechani-
cal eontrivanee and it's practical ac-
complishment. The flying machine,
fresh experiments with which are con.
stantly reported, is an example OF de-
lay in invention. A few years after
the landing of the Pilgrims, DR.. John
Wilkins, who afterward married sis.
ter of Oliver Cromwell, published a
work in which he said it was possible
to make a flying chariot, in which a
man may sit, and give such motion
unto it as shall convey him through
the air. And this, perhaps, might be
made large enough to carry divers men
at the same time, together with food
for their viaticum, and commodities
for traffic" The suggestion Of trade
side to air travel points to the remote
possibility Of a sfying-mac chine combi.
nation which will control the air
line Of the future. At present there is
no reason to be alarmed. The business
opportunities of the region overhead
are still open to all.

THE SULTAIN'S WORKSHOPS.

In Constantinople the Sultan Of
Turkey maintains workshops where
the costly presents which from time
to time he sends to foreign princes are
turned out. The Turkish workman,
says a writer who visited these shops,
is uncommonIy clever, and is espe-
eially conspicuous by the astonish-
ing readiness which he displays in.
Initiating strange work. Thus, was
shown an imitation OF g German Or
=chestrion, and the original could
scarcely be distinguished from the
copy. In the goldsmith's art the
Turks are extremely adroit, and most
OF the Turkish orders are made in the
Sultan's workshops. The objects des-
tined to be sent to foreign potentates
are generally cabinet work. Such
pieces of furniture, which are often
the work OF many years, are inlaid
most artistically with ivory, mother
sof-pear1, ebony and precious metals.
and they are thus Of great value. In
addition to these workshops, the Sui.
tan possesses q porcelain manufactory,
Whichsis managed by a. French expert.
and turns out very sterling examples
sof the potter's art.

An exciting story Of q fight with 81
panther is given BY a writer in the
g Asian The dent occurred while
three sportsmen were shooting small
game in the western Chats, a range Of
4 mountains in Southern India Listen
ing intently b. fancied that he caught
the word ssbagh !, !" but it. was imp possible
to distinguish sounds clearly IN the
pande monium that was going on, and
1T seemed almost incredible that any
thing in the way Of big game could
have remained in the beat SO late So
putting the fancy concerning the word
ne had heard down in imagination, or
else the possibility Of a small wildcat.
for natives call every thing of the cat
species bagh he did not change his
small shot cartridges Three minutes
afterWard there was a stealthy rustic
IN the tangled grass and bushes in
front Of him, and, expecting a hare or
"a jungle fowl, he threw his gun for
ward just as the bushes parted and the
savage. head of a huge panther rose
into view a bout twenty Eve yards
away. Utterly staggered b lowered his
gun again. To fire at a panther with
small shot is wise only when you are
anxious to obtain an express passage
to the next world, and before he could
change his cartridges the brute had
seen him and sunk silently back into
the underground, B. catching glimpse
{ OF his heavy taWny body gliding later
ally across the beat in the direction Of
F.'s station. Springfng to his feet and
shouting a hasty word of warning to
r., which, it afterWard appeared, the
latter heard only imperfectly, B. re-
placed his hot cartridges with ball and
attempted to follow the panther. But
the undegrowth was thick, and his
progress being necessarily slow, he had
not proceeded more than few yards
when shot rang out, quickly followed
by another, and the next second f. S
voice reached him vigorously shouting
for assistance. B., H., for heaven S
sake look sharp or I'm done for!" This
+ was followed by muffled growls and
snarls, coupled with reiterated, but
fainter shouts for help from F.
Crashing blindly through the under
growth toward the sounds, B. stumbled
almost on his head into the space com
paratiVe open jungle which fronted F.'s
station. As he did so, and vainly tried
to steady his pulse and hand. H, from
the opposite direction, also burst on

There had been Chinese ministers
before al Of them men Of good abil-
ity;; all OF them men Of high standing
at home and all of them SO little In
touch with the affairs Of the country
to which they were accredited, that
they were regarded popularity as OBJ
jects of curiosity is to be feared,
sometimes as objects Of derision by the
unthinking The first Of 81 the list.
Chen. Ian Pin, was accredited to the
United States in the administration of
Preside nt Hayes, and then followed, in
succession, Cheng Tsao Jul, Chang Yen
shoon, Tsui KWo-yin and Yang-yu. So
far as the public was conc erned, one
of these gentlemen was the same as
another. Few, except the clerks in the
State Department could remember one
of them wi thout consulting the record.
1t was known in "a general way that.
there was a Chinese legation in Wash
ington, that there was a minister, pre-
sunably a heather, that he had attend
ants patterned after himself, that their
| ways We're not our ways, and that their
god was not our God. One Of the
carrier IN the list-which one does not
matter now thought to enter into the
social life Of the capital, and gave a
reception. Invitations were issued, all
IN due form. Preparations were made
on a. generous and hospitable scale,
and when the hight came the well-bred
Christians Of Washington poured down
on the old Stewart Castle which was
then occupied as the legation, and
sWarmed over it like an untam ed
| horde 'de Of Boxers. Some came by invi-
tatlon, more without. They crushed
and crowded through the rooms; they
battered the furniture: they assaulted
the supper-tables in columns and
squares, seized the champagne bottles
Erom N the hands of the helpless walters,
smashed the necks of the bottles to
get at the wine more quickly, and al
together showed as little consideration
sor their host as if he had been freak
, IN a museum. They did not mean to
pc rude, and many of them were heart
ESiiy ashamed of themselves afterward;
but for years it never occurred to most
people that the minister from China
should be treated with as distin-
guished consideration as the represent

America still has some things to
learn from older countries, particularly
in the way of economy. New York
City pays about five hundred thousand
dollars year for the disposition of it's
garbage, while many English cities, by
burning their waste matter in special
furnaces, not only destroy it in the
most effective way. but make a profit
from it. Being dried out, it becomes
fuel, and the heat which it generates
is used to furnish steam for pumping
water, operating city electric lighting
plants, and grinding up such portions
of the refuse as are capable of CONVEX
sion into cement, tiles and paving
blocks This plan is in use in seventy
or e.ghty of the smaller cities of Eng
and, and miltion-dollar plant is in
process of erection in London.

at the age OF ninety, was the fifth
cousin of Aaron Burr, third vice presii-
dent of the United States, who killed
Alexander Hamilton, the lawyer and
statesman, in a duel in 1904. Her death
recalls the fact that, though the famil-

most bitter enemies at the beginning
of the last century, love found way
thirtytwo years after the famous duel
to bring the families together again by
the marriage of Elizabeth Burr and
