The Bears Lament.
BY OUR MACHINE POET

Instead of Liverpool.
But now I'm broke, my moneys

And | am sorely sad,
And all the boys who bet with

Are gone unto the bad.
My credits gone and all my

My checks, are n. g. now,

At night he says his prayers
He's always praying for the

But never for the bears.

And crave his pardon full
And if | ever raise a stake,

That the desire of a vacation Is O nat.
ural and right instinct is the contention
Of Eben Greenough Scott In his article
in the Atlantic Monthly. every man
of culture and intelligence feels at
times the need of q recurrence to ma
ture and to primitive life. These times
are usually about the summer solstice
or the autumnal equinox. The desire
to break away from his surroundings
becomes irresistible; he yearns for
space, for solitude, for desolation, and
he flies to the forest, the ocean, Oh the
desert. Such a man should dwell In a
world-city or a university town, and
waste places Of earth; for, though he
may find recreation in the former. it ia
in the latter only that he meets with
recreation. There is no halfway
house between the metropolis and the
desert for the man OF Imagination, OF
ideality and spirituality. He must five

OUTWARD BOUND.
BY Clinton Scotland.


When the veil of gloom was drawn
From the brooding breast of the sea,
Out Of the damask of dawn
A h%eartening wind slipped free.
When the canva was unfurled
Our boat seemed a living thing;
And into the vast sea-world
1t leaped as a bird takes wing.
The foam flew, fake on flake,
And the ripples raced by u side;
And the bubbles danced in our wake,
<JfIIl Of them rainbow-oyed.
e3
Tbeagulls, the clouds, and the spray
The brotherly ancient sun
The great blue bosom Of day
We claimed them as kin each one!
Doubt grew but a wrath outwornt
We had never an enemy;
We were part Of the vital morn,
And the gray eternal sea.
Care, and the worlds dark wi1es-
They were as a cast-off theme;
We were bound for the Fortunate Isles
And the reckoning Coasts of Dream.

1861 officers and men employed on
the sail and steam vessels of the Uni
ted Kingdom, of which number 327S
were lost at sea. In 1891, 21S,247 were
employed and the loss Of life vas cut
down to 1892. Last year the number

QUEER WAYS OF THE TURK.
He Reads Your Mail and Taboos
Telephones and Electricity.

He Reads Your Mail and Taboos
Telephones and Electricity.
The Turk suspects everybody and
everything, and no private act, no Sc
clusion, is safe from his intrusion
Every telegram sent from the public
offices is at one reported to the au.
thorities. No one can safely send a
letter by the Turkish post unless he
is willing to have it opened and read,
n take the chances of having it con-
nscated ii the censor finds, anything
that can be twisted into an insult to
recommendation. As a result of this
condition and the inability Of foreign
ers residing in Turkey to communi-
cate with any certainty with their
friends, some of the great European
nations have established postofnces of
their own in Turkish cities, in which
they employ only Europeans, use their
own stamps, and watch their mailbags
until they pass beyond the prying ewes
OF the Turks. In Salonica there are
no fewer than five post-ofices, Bri-
fish, Austrian, Servian and Turkish.
in Constantinople six. If one wishes
to be sure of his mail, he must inquire
at four of them at least; and if he real
~ wants to have his letters reach their
destination, lie must send them
through some post-ofice other than
Turkish. For the reason that the au-
thorities cannot be sure of a complete
knowledge of all the conversation that
might pass, the telephone has been ex-
eluded from the empire; and no Turk.
ish city is electrically lighted because.
it Is said. the officials discovered the
word dynamo in the applications for
the necessary contracts, and dynamo
suggesting dynamite, the official Turk
was paralyzed with fear! So all
Turkey is ELI candle lighted, or at
least lamp lighted. Whatever Is
Turkish in Turkey is sure to be out
OF order, disorgantzed, dirty; what
ever is foreign Is, by contrast, well
