CHANCE FRIENDS.
iOnship in Persons We Do
Not Know.

It makes one homesick in this world
to think that there are so many rare
people he can never know; and so many
excellent people that scarcely anyone
will know, in fact, says Backlog Stud
les, by Charles Dudley Warner One
discovers friend by chance, and can
not but feel regret that 20 or 30 years
of life, maybe, have been spent with
out the least knowledge of him. When
he is once known, through him opening
Is made into another little world, into
a circle of culture and loving hearts
and enthusiasm in a dozen congenial
pursuits, and prejudices, perhaps. How
instantly and easily the bachelor
doubles mis- world when he marries.
and enters into unknown fellowship
of the to him continually increasing
company, which is known in popular
language as sail his wfe's relations"
Near at hand, daily, no doubt, are
those worth knowing intimately, if one
had the time and the opportunity. And
when one travels he sees what vast
material there is for society and friend
ship, of which he can never avail him
self. Carload after carload of summer
travel goes by one at any railway sta
ton. out of which he is sure he could
choose a score of lifelong friends, if
the conductor would introduce him.
There are faces of refinement, of quick
wit, of sympathetic kindness-interest
ing people, travelled people, entertain
ing people, as you would say in Boston,
mice people you would admire to
know" whom you constantly meet and
pass without a sign of recognition,
many of whom are no doubt your long
lost brothers and sisters. You can see
that they also have their worlds and
their interests, and they probably
know great many mice" people. The
matter of personal liking and attach
ment is a good deal due to the mere for
tune of association. More fast friend
ships and pleasant acquaintanceships
are formed on the Atlantic steamships
between those who would have been
only Indifferent acquaintance else
where, than one would think possible
on voyage which naturally makes one
as selfish as he is Indifferent to his per-
sonal appearance.

MEDIOCRE MODERN VERSE.
According to This Authority There
Has Been n Decline I'm English
POeticRI Expire ssiOn.

The verse in our current magazines
sustains the statement so generally
made that the age of poetry in the
sense of imaginative Interpretation
of life and nature is past Some of II
consists of cynical or semi-humorous
comments in rhyme on men and wom'
en- and society and, though witty and
forcible, is, in effect, an acknowledge
ment that the question which the great
poets of the past have at least stated
in novel form are to be avoided as per-
picking, if not insoluble, says the Hart
ford Courant. Much of it is description
of natural objects, scenery, aspects OF
nature and the like, correct in form.
but not suffused with feeling, which
alone prevents descriptive poetry from
being tame and prosaic. The whole
seems devoid of energy, as if written to
order and after a model. There is moth
ing that a reader cares to memorize
or even cut out and paste in his scrap
book. The fatal lack of poetic energy,
both of thought and expression, is
everywhere apparent, evinced not only
by the fact that the quatrains or som
nets to which writers confine them
selves, though neat, antithetical and
polished, are not striking. They lack
the power to make us think, in most
cases they lack the power to hold our
attention. They seem to be written
from habit, not from the outburst of
slow-gathered impulse. They ire usu-
ally glanced at and skipped by read
ers. AS a rule they are good evidence
in the affirmative of the question:
HAS the age of poetical expression in
the English language passed."
All the verse in our modern periodic
ais has, however, one quality; it is cor
rect. On reading SO poems-or "bits
of verse"-in the magazines of the
month we find no straining of poetic
license;" only two instances of imper-
feet rhymes and only three or four in
stances of redundant syllables. The
meter formula is carefully observed.
misplaced accents are rare as strong
vigorous lines are. All 'splendidly
regular, Jelly dull" Tb, gayety and
the seriousness are alike machine
made" and the lines in which they are
embodied are sandpapered and var
nished to perfection. The poet does
not hum a tune carelessly like Burns
or fervidly like Shelly; he plays his
scales on piano in perfect tune. May
not this perfection be one of the rea-
sons for the deplorable ineffectiveness
of modern verse?

Electric Lights for Trains.

Electric train lighting has now
passed the experimental stage and
bids fair to displace other systems for
the illumination of passenger trains,
on account of it's cheapness and safety.
1t is the only absolutely safe method,
since, in case of wreck, there is no in
fammable material, such as gas or
oil, to cause fire in the wreckage. At
the same time, electric lighting from
batteries fed by dynamos driven by
the car axle has proved itself so
cheap that in Austria, where the sys-
tenn has been worked out very fully,
it is found that electric lighting is
cheaper than oil, gas or candles

Marriage I'm HindOostan.

Marriages in Hindoostan are very
limple and IRE usually arranged by
the parents of the principals. When
an alliance is agreed upon the bride
and groom are brought together and
perhaps see each other for the first
time. The bride playfully skips to-
ward him 'and seats herself beside
him. The priest ties a corner of the
brides veil to the groom's shawl and
