The Pipes of Pan.

In days Of old when Shaggy Pan
Led on his merry crew,
From slender pipes of hollow reeds
His mellow strains he blew.
And every woodland faun was glad
In all the glades around,
And trpped in light and gleeful mood
To hear his pipes resound.
The notes of Pan are heard no more
Gone like Il faded dream.
From hill and vale and woodland slope
And from the reeded stream.
No more the dance of merry feet,
The laughter of the throng,
But still the shivering reeds repeat
The echoes of his song.
Benjamin F. Legsett.

The Sorrows of a Queen.

The papers have touched but briefly
upon the sad life story of the Queen Of
Belgium who is laid at rest, this week,
after years of suffering. To be the wife
Of king, Leopold, a-sgay old monarch
with little regard for the sanctity of the
family relation, was in itself enough
sorrow for one lifetime, but it has been
only one of many that Marie Henriette
has endured in her long life. The
queens of Europe have not had an en-
viable lot in the last 20 years. Queen
Victoria alone passed throuShsher long
reign with only the loss of the Prince
Consort to sadden her life. She Saw
the realization of most of her hopes as
a. mother and sovereign. The Dowager
Queen of Spain, struggling TO keep the
little King on his throne, was one of
the pathetic sights of Europe, and the
assassin who stabbed to death the En-
press of Austria brought to a close a
life of almost complete sorrow. The
Empress Frederick of Germany ended
her life of suffering and lisappoint-
the death of her son, has not known
any happiness that "a Nomanzse might
envy. But none of these passed through
more than Henriette, Queen of Bel
GUM.
She was a beautiful Austrian arch
duchess and was married at II. Her
royal father-in-law did not like her
and made her early years in Belgium
most unhappy. At % she became
Queen. and soon her people learned 20
love her but her plans for her family
all cruelty miscarried. Her son, tn.
crown prince, died ut the age of 10.
She had three other children, daugh-
tiers, but by the laws of Belgium no
woman may ascend the throne. One
daughter Louise, married a German
prince and after a career that scan
dalized all Europe is now in an insane
asylum. Another daughter, Stephanie,
tria and this was looked upon as the
fullest completion of Queen Henriette 5
ambitions. But the tragic death of the
Prnca4was followed by the renuncia-
ton of all royal rights by Stephanie
both in Austria and Belgium. and hei
marriage to the man of the people
whom she loved. Her mother has never
recognized her since The third daugh-
ter. Princess Clementinc, has never
married. Thus Queen Henriette has
known little joy from her children. ~
if fate had meant to leave nothing to
this unhappy Queen. 1t was only a
short time ago that the chateau in which
were all the treasured souvenirs OF
her earlier life was destroyed by fire
Her husband, King Leopold has much
neglected her-in' these later years. al nd
was not with her when she died. And
vet how often we hear this expression
''aS happy as a Queen.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Loves dreams go by contraries.
Mighty few houses have enough closets
to accommodate all the skeletons.
Women seem to think that the only
thing to be used in playing cards is the
hands.
1t depends a whole lot on where it is
whether a fat woman looks all she
weighs.
Women work statistics just the way
they do dough- M
Money Makes the mare go, but horses
make the money Cd
First young married couples learn to
quarrel and then not to.
It's funny, but black-haired women
want their hair to be red. and gray haired
women theirs to be black.
All that man knows about mechanics is
of mighty little use to him when he tries
to put the furnace into commission for
the winter.

The Earthest North.

Despite his failure to reach the pole
the fact is well worth emphasizing that
Lieutenant Peary surpassed his own
former records and pushed his way far
Their north than any other American
explorer has ever gone. His mark OF
"a degrees, II minutes has been sur
passed by Dr. Nansen, Norwegian,
and the Duke Of Abruzzi. Italian, the
former reaching Sc degrees and IA min
utes. and the latter Sc degrees and 80
minutes. Thus the flag of Italy stands
nearest the long-soughtss goal, with
No~wav SECOND and the United States
third. Peary came within about 3i3
miles of the pole and in his report
says: Each days march was more
perilous. and our general course was
DETECTED west by. the character OF the
ice. Finally, at S4-17 latitude, north
west of Hecla. the polar pack became
impracticable and further efforts &c
advance were given up
Until Peary's achievement the Ameri-
can record for pushing north was held
by Lieutenant Greedy who reached
latitude So degrees and "a minutes.
This was just 20 years ago Ten years
ago Peary reached 50 degrees and "a
minutes. In looking over the records
of Arctic exploration it is seen that as
long ago as 1897, Capt. W. Z. Parry, an
Englishman. got as far north as 81 de-
grees and 10 minutes, so that all the
hardships and struggles of rs years of
Arctic exploration have resulted in a
gain of only 3 degrees and 90 minutes
against the terrible frozen zone.
And will the pole ever be reached by
man? Peary says it will be, and by
Just such a dash as he undertook. His
failure, though it is disheartening
one, will not prevent others from try
ing. In fact, it may not prevent him
from trying again, though he has re-
eatedly declared that this was his last
voyage. Of all the polar expeditions in
the long and tragic history of the
search this one of Lieutenant Peary
seemed the most likely to succeed. No
other one was ever SO well planned, well
manned and we'll supplied for the work
before it. No other one was ever
mapped out in advance with more in
teligence or carried out with greater
personal courage Yet it failed. Per-
haps lie will succeed if he can try
again. for so much depends upon the
condition of the polar ice pack. 1t will
be most difficult for another man 10
take up his work and succeed.

The people of Mississippi cannot be
very well posted on the history of their
state and it's famous men. Having de-
termined to hang in its new capitol the
portraits of ten prominent natives of
the state, and the ten names having
been agreed upon by means of popu-
lar vote. it is now found that just half
of the ten. and the more distinguished
half ut that. were born in other states.
A new balloting will be necessary 1t is
safe wager that one of the five found
ineligible was Sergeant S. Prentiss, one
of the ablest men who ever represented
Mississippi at Washington and one of
the most eloquent orators the South
ever knew. 1t was to him that the
term "siiver-tongued orator" was first
applied. He was born in Portland.
Maine, and graduated from Bowdoin i'm
