story.

NEW YORK, June 5,-The Norwegian
steamer Donald, from Bsnes, with fruit,

A Philadelphia special to the World says

tale:
eve were two days out from Banes and
about thirty miles from Watkins island, In
the Caribbean sea, when We came upon a
floating island. I, with the mate and sew
eral OF the crew, rowed toward 1t. Thou
sands OF little monkeys scampered all about
the shore, and when we we're in range they
began a bombardment by shying ~cocoanuts
at us. We captured two monkeys.
1.-THE following day we discovered another
floating island and landed. This time we
were greeted by a covey Of parrots Of most
brilliant plumage."
Captain Warnecke declared that the
eruption in Martinique had shaken up the
entire district and the small pieces Of land
had become separated from some min
habited Islands.

GIFT FOR KITCHENER


(Continud from First Pag.)
expression Of coincidence with the bereaved,
was adopted by q vote Of 1872 to AZ.
The Prince Of Wales \nd many peeresses
we're present in the HoNe OF Lords when
Lord Salisbury moved a vote Of thanks to
the officers and men Of the imperial forces
in South Africa. The motion specifically
mentioned the colonial troops and paid a
tribute to the splendid qualities Of the
troops who, he said, commended, under no
ordinary difficulties, against an enemy
which had accumulated vast stores Of mu-
nitions Of war and who had the advantage
Of fighting in a peculiar country with which
they were thoroughly familiar.
Lands Colonial Troops.
The premier also said he thought the
house had never before thanked, nor had
such good cause to thank the colonial
troops for their assistance. Not long ago
many people in Europe thought that the
time Of the downfall OF the British empire
had arrived. But the colonial troops came
brilliantly to Great Britain's assistance and
the more Great Britain's difficulties in
creased the more colonial loyalty had mani
tested itself, in aiding the empire to defy
the hostility and bitterness of all it's OPP
ponents.
Great Britain had the assistance Of a
force which a few years ago was not
dreamed of. and that was the subject Of
exultation in England. 1t was shown that
when the country was denuded Of troops,
her naval supremacy was SUFFICIENT to pro-
tect her, and Great Britain was never safer
than during the period Of war.
Earl Spencer. the liberal leader in the
House Of Lords, added his tribute to the
British forces in South Africa, and Lord
salisbury's motion for a vote OF thanks to
the officers and men Of the imperial forces
In South Africa was carried unanimously.

cd Who among the Gaels or Celts
here in New York now remembers
''rhc pagan?" Only a few. Most of
his associates. like himself, have join
ed the majority. AS this story puts
a queer or rather grotesQue sequel to
an old legend, it is, perhaps, worth re-
peating. but. of course, it must come in
its proper place ut the end Of the
chronicle
Frcely-very freely-translated, this
is the legend:
When st. Patrick returned to Ire
land. after his first visit, he converted
all the kings in short order, and among
them was King O'Leary. Now King
O'I,eary was an old man Of the sea, a
vigorous and rough old salt, if ever
there was one. He belonged to set
of pagans who, unlike their brothers,
the Druids instead of worshipping the
sun, worshipped the sea, the great
mother from whom, according to their
doctrine, all life sprang. Whether or
not the sun was her husband it is i'm
possible to say. The mists surround
ing the lower end of the legend have
completely blotted out that interesting
detail. But Mt all events the sea-
worshippers regarded the sun-worship-
pers as reformers. Protestant pagans
and landluhbcrs with whom old salts
could have little in common.
Well, King 0'Leary was half ag-
nostic or sceptic with n strong leaning
toward the tcnets Of the sea worship
pers. He attended church. of course,
but he was no Sunday school teacher.
After his baptism by Patrick. he still
| had his doubt. 1t was hard for him
to leave his old mother. the sea. One
stormy night as he sat before the great
wood fire in the dining-room Of his cas-
tie overlooking the Atlantic. he listen
cd to the roaring Of the winds and
1 waves. 1t seemed to him that even
