Commeres Kuled by the ride.

For some twenty centuries, the com
merce Of London has drifted up With
the tide, and down with the tide. The
strenuous Romans Of old found town
Of the Britains at Lin-dyn, and con
quered it; and the strenuous SaXons
conquered the town the Romans had
left. The strenuous Danes made them
selves masters OF the SaXons, and then
came the strenuous William Of Nor
mandy, and built the massive tower
over there to dominate the city and
port. But in London to-day the com
merce still drifts, and is stored. None
Of the great ports Of the world has had
longer or more varied history; it is
the heart Of the greatest OF commercial
nations, and the cradle OF the mistress
of the seas; but it is still regulated by
the tide 1t is at last we'll proved, this
philosophy Of drifting and steering.
Who can say that 1t will not continue
to rule the world for another 1000
years? Its methods are not brilliant,
but they are sure.-John Corbin, In

Nor yet to be woman.
He'd hate to be beast or such
As share the fish's lot;
In fact, I would not annoy him much

He takes you by the button-hole
And grumhes in your ear,

But, whewl You'd make him hot
To mint the world would still jog on

money, then said to Master Stella in
bantering tone:

you, my friend?'

"The picture is not worth the six paoll

Beggars in Rome.

Everybody who comes to Rome must
expect to be swindled and disappointed
There are many illusions, and you will
be greatly disappointed when you ap'

will be swindled by shopkeepers, hack
men, peddlers and everybody that you
have anything to do with, and the beg
gars will annoy you with their per
sistence like the fakirs and flower girls
that follow you upon the street, but
all this is part of the experience OF
everybody who comes here; only such
annoyances are greater in Rome thar
in most other places. Begging is a pro
fession, as in every other Italian city
and the profits are much larger, be
cause there are more strangers to ap
peal to. None but inexperienced beg
gars ever approach n native Roman

they save all their energy and patho:
