THE OPTIMISM OF NATURE. !.
JAMES M'ARTHUR.

Ah, what do the lone waves say,1
In their, low surge-sob on the beach?-
we kiss the shore as we may,
And gladden. as far as we reach; -
And, bending low down, hangs many D
J. spray, $685..
T The blessings we give to beseech."
And, sweet flowers, we ask of you,
What returns for the storms rude
blast?-
1--WE drink of the sun and the dew,
When the frown and the terror are
past;
We lift up our faces, cheerful and true,
And smile on the world to the last"
Ye stars of the distant sky,
We ask why We twinkle SO bright.
Methinks hear your reply,
Our home is region of light;
I'VE beam with radiance pure, from on
high,
! To lessen the gloom of the night"
They hail us from every side,
And our visions of life expand:
Sweet voicings.-they're near to abide,
-. Their missions could we understand.
AS angels of good they're near US to
guide
With touch of magical wand!
We may not dispel the cloud,
Nor the lightning's seattle avert;
With troubles we may be bowed,
Though ever upon the alert;
But why should our folly the soul en-
shroud,
Or fear from the right divert?
Fond nature, so kind and so true!
She treats us with never a slight;
She spangles the nights with dew,
And wakes our affections with light;
Her blessings, her gifts, her rewards are
not few,
'In all and through all to requite.

There are now fifty-four agricultural
experiment stations scattered through
the country and maintained by the
States. Hitherto the general Govern
ment has had nothing Of the kind on
an extended scale. But a i00-acre
model farm is now to be established
by the Agricultural Department. 1t
will occupy part of the old Arling-
ton estate, lying along the Potomac
opposite Washington. The work Of
getting this big tract in shape for
scientific cultivation is now going on.
The object will be to demonstrate here
the culture CT every sort of useful
plant that can be made to thrive in
this climate. There will be a siX-acre
model home plot to illustrate what can
be done to make rural home surround
ings pleasant. While all the familiar
fruits, vegetables, cereals, grasses,
berries, etc, will be grown and studied,
another object will be to introduce
new species. A cranberry bog will be
maintained and an attempt made to
cultivate the huckleberry, which has
SO far not been domesticated. With
the facilities and resources at the COM
mand of the Agricultural Department
this big experiment farm will be made
an institution of the highest value to
the American farner.-The Path

Surely a Gentleman.

In far-off years Sir Walter Scott vis-

tnen Lord Chancellor Of Ireland, and
was taken to see the ruins of the
Seven Churches of Glendalough, one

One of the most romantic spots is
st. Kcvin's Bed, cave which requires
a scramble over rocks to enter. Sir
Walter, in spite Of his lameness, peIc-
trated the Shrine" an old peasant
woman lending him willing hand.
On the return, the Lord Chancellor
asked her If she knew how great Il
man she had assisted, adding, HE is

One of the Customs inspectors,

AT the Cheshire Cheese" the FAM
Gus restaurant in Fleet street, where
DR.. johnson and the other literary
characters of his time used to do their
loafing and take their meals, are sew
eral famous dishes, which are served
daily to American tourists and other
patrons. One of the delicacies for
which the Cheshire Cheese" is pecu-
liar is n lark pie, which can be ob-
tanned nowhere else in London. A
young Philadelphia gentleman who
was over here not long ago took de-
cided fancy to the lark pie and ar
ranged with the proprietor of the inn
to send him one after he got home to
be served at birthday dinner. The
pie was sent in good time and condi-
tion, but when it reached Philadelphia
it did not look very appetizing. The
customs inspectors of New York sus-
pected that it was a new trick of the
diamond smugglers and dug it all out.
After examining the crust and the con-
tents minutely they dumped it back
into the pan and forwarded it to the
consignee.-Chicago Record-H Herald

The Passport in Russia.

The train slows down as it crosses
the frontier, and creeps gently up to
the platform of the first station on
Russian soil. Furtively peeping out
of the window, you behold a number
of stalwart men uniformed in the Rus
sian style, and wearing the peculiarly
Russian top boots. The polite conduc-
tor comes to the compartment and
bids you get the passport ready. Af-
ter few minutes of waiting, during
which anxiety is not diminished, an
officer in smart gray-blue uniform
comes along, attended by a soldier
with wallet. He demands the pre-
cious document, and, noting its for
eign origin, casts upon its possessor a
keen, searching glance. Then he looks
for the all-important visa or indorse-
ment of the Russian official in the
country of issue; and on finding it he
passes coldly on without word. All
this is very formal and impressive;
you feel as a prisoner feels when the
chain of evidence is tightening round
him; your thoughts wander back to
the past, and you wonder whether any
indiscreuon Of your insignificant
youth may not now be brought up in
testimony against you.
The utmost care is taken In the
study and registration Of these docu-
ments; every Russian must have his
passport; every foreigner entering or
leaving the country must have it, too.
Whether native or alien, you cannot
move about the country without the
document; when you arrive in a town
it must be submitted to the local po-
lice; when you leave that town the po-
lice must indorse the passport with
their sanction to the journey. The
system gives the authorities the firm
est hold over the people; and wise is
the stranger who complies carefully
with every part Of the fornaality.-

TIE Chinese Court ut Sinr.

The Ostasiatische Lloyd gives some
very curious particulars taken from
native journals as ID the life Of the
Chinese court at Sian. Over the main
entrance of the palace is a signboard
with the words Temporary Palace"
and all the chambers of the palace are
lighted by European safety lamps and
candles" The Empress is dyspeptic
and suffers from insomnia-the old
curse Of the tyrant-but the Emperor
is stronger and enjoys better health
than in Pekn. IAN Irishman might
add, "sEat is, If he's really alive and
not only a substitute.'o At first the
court lived on ducks, poultry and fish,
bur now things are better there is an
occasional swallows nest or sharks
fin. The Emperor likes Shan-tunS
cabbag. and eats little meat. "The
Dowager Empress prefers pastry" 1t
is an appalling picture, that of Sleep
less and dyspeptic Messalina devour-
ing pastry by the light of patent pc
troleum lamp.-London Spectator.

Some interesting experiments have
taken place at the london decks to
show the effect OF q new system for
the determination Of rats on board
ships. The vessel is charged with
sulphur-dioxide gas, which apparently
has the effect of attracting the rats
from their hiding-places, and as soon
as they breathe the fumes they be-
come suffoceted. In the experiments
on the steamer Gourkha several lun-
dred rats were destroyed in few

SIGN AND POSTER EVIL.
Adequate Restrictive Legislation should
be introduced.

Adequate RESTRICTIVE Legisiaioh S"oe~
he introduced.
The abuse of advertising by signs
and posters has raised up in England
a Society for Checking the Abuses OF
Public Advertising, the work of which
is Interestingly described in to-day's
Tribune. In Il word, the society found
that the system, which works so ad-
mirably in France, of imposing
stamp tax on all posted advertise
ments, was impracticable in England.
Instead of this. it worked to secure
general law, which gave the local au-
thorities full powers to regulate, re-
strict, or prohibit advertising that
challenges attention in public way.
Many towns Immediately adopted re-
strictive legislation. Dover has taken
the lead, requiring a license for all
advertisements which are not con-
tained within window, and for all
vehicles chiefly used for ad ;ertising
purposes, while absolutely forbidding
all sky signs. London, Glasgow, Man
chester and many of the smaller
towns have passed regulations cover
ing various abuses, such as transpar-
encies, electric flash signs. and sky
signs, and regulating the size of the
letters permissible in a poster. Every
where praiseworthy public spirit has
been shown in this matter, and it may
reasonably be hoped that England will
eventually be as free from this dis
figurement as, say, France or Belgium.
What has been accomplished in Eng
land is certainly possible here, where,
in fact, reform should be easier; for
we have more strongly pronounced
collective sense, and less exaggerated
idea of individual rights. The Eng
lish precedent should encourage those
who are working to arouse public
opinion in this matter. If adequate
restrictive legislation can be intro
duced in one of our cities, the work
will be half done. The busiest among
us will appreciate the comfort of walk
ing in the streets freed from the dis
figuring signs which now, as the
French say, jump at your eyes.-Now
