love the day-the bright. the golden day
When Earth is fair ocean and on land
When Sorrow smiles and Care is laid away
And Heart and Hope go bthely-hand in hand;
When Summers breath comes softly tfro the door
And Love ascends the summit of its dream;
When ripping waves roll lightly to the shore
And Heavens smile lies pictured in the stream;
When NL.ure trembleS with the power Of song
And lilies bloom-untrodden-b the way
God loves the day. so let the day be lons
And in the eve-departng-ict us say
well was the day..
love the nght-the seattle moonlit wave
The stars-the stiffness and the haunted hour
When Melancholy, crouching by the grave
Receives response from every soulful bower
When Earth is dark and Time goes creeping by
With silent tread, unmeasured by the heart;
When Love lies mute, unconscious of the sigh,
And past and present are, unbridged apart
When Nature sleeps and passion is at rest:
When weary Fancy may forget its flight
Then, in the Morn, calm the Fathers breast
May we look backward and behold the night
Pure. perfect, bright

PERMITS IN LARGE TOWNS.
Many Denisens of Our Big Cities Feel Lonesome and Talk to
 Themselves.

A newspaper the other day record western physician on his first visit to New York, says the Commercial Advertiser. His dinner companion asked him what interested him most in the streets of the city, and the physician replied the fact that so many persons were encountered who were talking to themselves. He could not explain the phenomenon to his own satisfaction, and ventured the opinion that 1t was because people were so busy and carried their cares about with them. At least he could think of no other reason. Possibly it is because a great city is such a soli- tary place for many, and solitude, of course, promotes self-communing.
 Many a person here is more truly a hermit, cut off by inclination or cir constance from his fellows, than some recluses who live an ostenta- tious life of isolation. They pass their fellows on the street mutually unknown. Many persons have no friends; some have no desire to make any; others, probably with a grega- rious instinct, are too difident to push an acquaintance. So they talk to themselves as men in a desert learn to talk to themselves. In al smaller place acquaintances would jolt a man out of the habit of talk ing to himself on the streets, but here nobody cares.

STRANGE MEN IN BoRNEo.
A Mountain Tribe That Was Un- known to Europeans Till
 Very Recently.

A strange tribe has just been discov- cred in Borneo by pr. A. W. Nieuwen- huis, the distinguished Dutch explorer. As he was travelling through the dis trict of Sarawak he heard from his guides that at a little distance there was a mountain tribe which no Eu- ropean or American had ever visited, and straightwsy he went thither, and in day or two found himself at the headquarters of these unknown abo- rigines. At once he saw that they diff fered from all otEcr natives of Borneo. and he spent some weeks in acquaint- ing himself with their curious cus- toms and also in studying their coun- try, which is entirely unknown to for eign travels. In this way he accumu- lated mass of new material, which he intends to give to the world at an early date in the form of book.
 This is the second journey which Dr. Nleuwenhuis has taken to central Borneo. He first went there in 1895. and explored the sources of the Rap uas and hahakkam rivers. after which he returned to Europe, where he at once obtained an appointment as di- rector of the botanical garden at Bui- tenzorg. In 1899 he went again to Borneo, intending to thoroughly ex- plore the interior of the country. and it is claimed that in this task he has succeeded better than any previous traveller.

WARNING TO AMERICANS.
Issues Circular Showing the Van tty of Quests After EstateA

The United States consulate in Lon don has issued & circular warning Americans who seek English fortunes and landed estates that most of such claims are spurious. The dreamers are of three classes in general, the object of their quests being landed estates, money supposed to be lodged in the Bank of England and unclaimed chancery funds. The circular says:
 "As to land, no action to recover real estate in Great Britain can be brought after 12 years from the time the right accrued, or, in case of disabilities or infancy. after 30 years. It is pro- digious error to think that there is un- claimed property deposited in the Bank of England and earning fabulous interest. The bank keeps a record of unclaimed stock and dividends and nothing else. Anyone who thinks him self entitled to these must furnish pre- else details respecting the name of the stockholder, the amount of the hold ing and the date of issue.
 "The total amount of unclaimed chancery funds is only about e1OO,OOO. Not more than half that sum exceeds e150 per account, and not more than one-seventeenth of these exceed 6 e1,OOo"
 Consul General Osborne said recent ly: We consider that we have a dull week when less than eight or ten of our fellow countrymen apply for million dollar fortunes. Ninety-nine per cent. of the cases submitted are entirely visionary. Advertisements for alleged heirs or next of kin are the source of many of these great expectations. A thriving business is done by some al- legged agents who thus traffic in Yankee trustfulness."

oSTRACISED FOR HUMANITY.
Prince Alphonss, of Bavaria, Given the "Blus Letter" for Being
 Too Gentle.

As penalty for being too humane Prince Alphonse, the nephew of the regent of Bavaria, has been given the Blue Letter." In American slang vernacular this might be interpreted to mean that he will hereafter re- ceive the marble heart" in select official circles. The Blue Letter" means official degradation. He is, it seems, too humane for his uncle and the military commanders, and he has been called upon to suffer for his hu- manity.
 He was asked to resign from the Bavarian army for no other reason than that he was too gentle and easy going with those under his command. He is not severe enough to please the military, and the mistake he made was to manifest too much considera- tion for the horses under his charge. It was during the last maneuvers. On reaching a steep and stony de- scent, Prince Alphonse ordered the men to dismount, so that the horses might be spared. It is said that the order completely upset the plan of action. Popular feeling is intense against the authorities who have brought about the princes dismissal. for he has always been popular with the subjects of his uncle. It is be- lieved to be the first time Bavarian prince has received the Blue Letter"

THE SHIPS COW BOoED.
It Heard the FoghOrn and Mistook It for a ReIative-The Hys-
 tsry Explained.

The captain of an English steamer spun yarn the other day of the mysterious "Boo-o-o" which answered his foghorn. He was steaming down the channel, when the thick fog came on. At such times he never leaves the bridge, and sounds the foghorn himself. On this occasion, after sounding the signal, he heard a fog horn in reply right ahead. He turned the ships head point to avoid col hsion, and then sounded again. Again the reply came "Boo-o-o," right ahead as before
 The vessels head was put back to the same position as at first, and once more the foghorn was sounded. Still the reply came, ss before, right ahead, 'Boo-o-o."
 It was very strange; I could not make it out" said the captain. tell ing the yarn. ''I tried again; still the same 'Boo-o-o' right ahead. A feeling of superstition began to creep over me, and was giving myself a mental shake to pull myself together. when the lookout man forward called out: Its the old coo, sir And so in truth it was-the milk COW kept on the forecastle for the use of the ship. She, no doubt, took the 'boo-o-o-ing' of the signal for the cry of a com panion in distress, and gave 6 sympa- thetic response"

The Latest Fashion Is to Have Butter hiss, Snakes, Etc, Eteked
 oa the Arm.

The craze for Japanese things has 90 far affected some women with much leisure time upon their hands that they are having odd little de- signs worked upon their arms and shoulders in faint delicate tints. An English dancer began this fashion with butterfly on her upper arm, and it became a rage in London to have some design of the sort done on the flesh.
 People who go to Japan have their tattooing done by the native artists; but it is done with equally good re- suits in New York by an Irishman who has a small shop on the Bowery and has worked up a fashionable trade in this odd pursuit that has made him rich, says the Sun.
 0ld-fashioned tattooing was done crudely with a needle, which often in- famed and irritated the skin. Now adays it is done with an electrical con- trivance which etches a design finely and painlessly. Colored inks are used, and their use is secret which the Japanese artists have mastered to perfection. There are books of won derful colored designs for tattooing which one can choose from; birds, beasts and reptiles. The snake is a favorite with the tattooed, some of whom have one represented as being wound about the arm from the wrist to the shoulder.
 Women who go in for this fad choose as 6 rule some small, dainty and less terrifying pattern, butter flies being the popular fashion at present. New York's tattooer visits the houses of his fashionable patrons At hardly any hour of the day is he disengaged, as a steady stream of less fashionable customers throng his shop for the purpose of having va rious designs of trade, religious sym bols, portraits, landscapes and names sketched upon their arms in colored irlr

WHY IT IS THE WHITE HOUSE.
How the Eane of the President's MaasioR at Washington
 Originated.

The question is often asked why the presidents mansion at Washington is called the white house. It has been so called for years and years, and now no one thinks of using any other name, al- though executive mansion is the off, cial term. The term white house is a reminder of the second war with Eng land. August 24, 1874, the British army captured Washington and burned the public buildings, the presi- dents mansion being among those to suffer. Ii was damaged to some e1- tent, and to hide the fire stains was painted white, and white it has been painted every year or two since. The home of Washington's mother was called white house, and this may have suggested the name, but the fact that the mansion was assiduously painted white after the war of 1872 doubtless brought the term into popular use.
