ANGUS THE LOVER.
RY RraNA CARpERY.

I follow the silver spears flung from the
hands of dawn;
Through silence, through singing OF stars
journey on and on;
The scattered fires of the sun, blown wide
ere the day be done,
Scorch rue hurrying after the swift white
feet of my fawn.
I am Angus the Lover, I who haste in the
: track of the wind,
The tameless tempest before, the DUSK OF
: quiet behind;
From the heart OF blue gulf hurled, 1
rise on the waves OF the world, -,
Seeking the love that allures, woful until
I find.
The blossom of beauty is she, glad, bright
as a shaft of fame,
"A burning arrow of life winging me Joy
and shame;
The hollow deeps of the sky are dumb to
my searching cry, -,
Rending the peace of the gods with the
melody of her name.
MY quest is by lonely ways-in the cairns
of the mighty dead, -.
On the high lorn peaks of snow-panting
to hear her tread,
AT the edge of the rainbow we'll whose
whispering waters tell
OF face bent over the rim, rose-pale, ana
as roses red.
Thus she ever escapes me-a wisp Of cloud
in the air,
"A streak of delicate moonshine, glory
from otherwhere;
Yet out in the vibrant space shall kiss
the rose in her face, -,
I shall bind her fast to my side with
strand of her fiving hair:

A French Prison Ship.

AS interesting steamship as ever
visited this port left at the end of the
week, loaded with coal, for Bordeaux.
She was the French prison boat Gale
donie, and she had come to Philadel-
phia from Cayenne. where she had
landed 600 convicts.
The cells of the Caledonia are in tiers
on her main deck, quite comfortable
apartments, twelve by fifteen feet in
size, and each containing q cot, a
washstand and q chair. Each also con-
tains coil Of steam pipe, so arranged
that at the first sign Of any refractori-
ness steam may be sprayed into every,
nook and Granny, and the inmates in
stantly scalded into submission. There
has never been among the Caledonie'S s
prisoners any occasion for the use OF
this dreadful weapon, but once, some
years ago, the ship was attacked on
her arrival at Cayenne by the convicts
quartered there. Forthwith a hose was
attached to the main boiler, q donkey
engine brought into use, and the at
tacking party was Saluted with great
streams of water which was not boil
ing (for the captain was q merciful

comfortably warm. A few drops apiece
were enough, and with yells of pain

The True Glory.

"The glory of the church is not its
pilded spires, its mumbling iturgies, it's
crowds, its silken ease, the glory of the
church" says the Central Christian Advo..
cate (Meth.) of Kansas City, "is its SCARED
heart and it's heart weeping over those It's
barred arm is trying to protect and save.
Ruskin has message for the churches
which we wish were framed and hung
over the inner doorway of every church
under heaven. 1t is that the world expects
the soldier to be ready to suffer and even
to die at his post; it expects the doctor
to be ready to die at his post; and it has
an equal right to expect the church OF the
Lord Jesus Christ to be ready to suffer and
die for the welfare of the world. When
the cynic looks out upon the discrepancies
between the sweet and roseate profession
of peace which so many make and their
falling away from that rugged and stanch
support of principle which marked the path
from Gethsemane to Calvary with drops
of blood, while the wolves keep right on
tearing the sheep, the cynic is apt to take
I'D the plaint of Swinburne and cry out to
the Christ if, after all, His bitterest crown
of thorns is not the conduct of His pro-
fessed disciples? 1t is no credit to the
church that she arouses so little hatred
on the part of evil-doers, of demagogues
@ from the the gambling helIs and the saloons.
The tender Christ could yet say of the
evil-doer, 'Ye are of your father, the
devil' The politicians of His day plotted
against Him and CRASHED their teeth.
There is too little Of that now."

Alcohol Does Not Heat.

Since alcohol contains no nitrogen 10
cannot, of course, take, any part in the
building up of wasted or worn-out tissue.
That alcohol is almost completely burned
up when taken in quantity of a half ounce
or little more at time, and that ita
burning is attended by the production Of
heat is also proved by exact methods OF
experimentation. In spite, however, OF
the fact that it is burned and heat is thus
produced, the temperature Of the body Il
raised for only few moments and then
falls below the normal. These phenomena
are due to one of two causes, or both oi
them, namely, alcohol produces temper.
ary dilatation of the surface vessels and
thus increases heat radiation sufficiently
to more than compensate for the increased
production of heat, if more heat is really
produced; or. the narcotic effects of the
alcohol diminish the heat produced by les
sening chemical change. It is quite Ger.
tain, however, that the first cause given IL
entirely responsible for the fall of tempera.
ture. Recent experiments have been
made upon this same point, and the CON
clusions drawn therefrom differ from those
above, which are universally accepted by
physicians to be true, but these conclu
sions were based upon a misinterpreta
tion of results. We may say, therefore,
without fear of successful contradiction,
that alcohol is not source of bodily heat.
