Christendom is a new weekly pub

Christendom is new weekly pub
lished in Chicago. 1t is the prac
teal embodiment of what has long
been felt by the prominent leaders
in the political, social and educa-
tiona1 progress, viz: that there is
imperative need of journal which
should discuss, week by week, in
the spirit of enlightened Christian
ity, not only the worlds most i'm
portant news developments along
all lines, but also the pressing
problems of politics, religion, edu-
cation and sociology, which are en-
crossing the minds of the intel1i-
gent, broad-lninded men and women
of TO-DAY.

LIVELY PRINCE OF GREECE.
Interesting Details Concerning tn

Interesting Details Concerning the
Youngest Son of the King.
A friend In Athens has furnished
me with some interesting details con-
corning Prince Andreas Of Greece,
whose engagement with the Princess
of Battenberg has created such gen.
eral surprise and congratulation, says
writer In the London Sketch. The
young prince is the 1iveliest Of the four
sons Of the Grecian royal couple. He
was baptized after the name Of the
celebrated Hellenic philanthropist, An
dreas Syhgros, and he apparently re-
ceived from his godfather a spirit Of
outspoken patriotism. When quite a
boy he insisted on employing the
Greek language. To comrade, who,
during playtime In the royal gardens,
addressed him In French he admin
tstered a thrashing, which he wound
up with the command, Speak your
mother tongue IN futurev'
On the occasion Of the marriage Of
his eldest brother, the crown prince,
with the Princess Sophia, Of Prussia,
young Andreas occupied prominent
place in the church; but he found the
service wearisome and endeavored to
amuse himself by making Windmill
Of his straw hat, to the great en-
barrassment Of his neighbor. The furi-
GUS glances directed to him by the
queen he pretended not to observe.
Finally, he sat himself, Turkish fash
lon, on the carpet OF the aisle and
continued whirling his hat. A sound
ing box Of the ear from Prince George
ended this performance and induced
the boy prince to resume a standing
posture.
Notwithstanding his liveliness he
passed successfully through the cadet
school as his brothers did before him;
that is to say, he received his instruc-
ton privately, but attended all the drill
exercises Of the institution. On leaving
school he entered the cavalry regiment
which is garrisoned at Athens and
the regular performance Of his duties
as lieutenant was interrupted only by
the summer vacations when he In
variably accompanied the king and
queen ON their journeylngs. Prince
Andreas, who is an excellent horse
man, is honorary president Of the Eques
trian society which for the past two
years has managed all the races and
other equestrian displays In Athens
He is to spend the coming year at
Darmstadt, doing duty with the Hes
sian dragons. AT the close Of that
period his marriage with Princess Alice
will be solemnized In London.

Th6 OCfnnuG

The following pen-portrait Of this
strange creature has been given by a
recent writer" Sometimes you will
see one crawling over the congewol,
changing from one pool to another in
search Of prey; its greeny-gray eyes re-
gard you with defiant maleyolence.
Strike it heavily with a stick or thrust
it open with spear, and in an instant
it's color, which moment before was
either a dark notified brown or min
gled reddish black, changes to a ghast-
~, horrible marbled gray; the horrid
tentacles writhe and cling to the
weapon or spread out and adhere to
the surrounding points of rock; black
inky fluid is elected from the soft,
pulpy, and shiny body, and then, after
raining blow after blow upon it, 1t
lies unable to crawl away, but still
twisting and turning and showing its
red and white suckers-a thing of hor-
ror indeed, the embodiment of all that
is hateful, wicked, and malignant in
nature"

Floating Gardens.

On the rivers Of Cashmere are thou
sands Of floating gardens, formed by
long sedges which are woven together
in the form of a gigantic mat. These
sedge grasses, flags, stalks, lilies, etc.,
are woven on the river or lake banks
while their roots are still growing in
the slime underneath. The required
amount Of earth Is then superimposcd
upon the mat, the stalks are then cut
aud the mat and it's load are full
fedged floating garden. They are
usually about twenty by fifty yards In
extent, seldom larger, the full depth
of the mat and it's earthly covering be-
ing about three feet A dishonest
Cashmiri will sometimes tow his
neighbor's garden away from It's moor
ings and sell the produce of the others
toll. The writer has frequently seen
one Of the largest being towed by two
men in a rowboat which hardly looked
larger than one Of the luscious melons
serenely reposing on the floating truck
farm.

The Real Chestnuts.

That an apparently ignorant and GER
tainly addressed fruit vendor may be
endowed with a keen sense Of humor,
is evident from a story told by Angus
tus Van Wyck Of man near his resi-
dence from whom he tried to purchase
some chestnuts.
''Have you any nice, fresh chestnuts
this morning?" asked the ex-Judge> of
the son Of sunny Italy.
"No 'Merican nutties, got italian
ches'nutta," answered the man, in al
most unintelligible English.
But I want the regular old Ameri-
can chestnuts, not the foreign varie-
IT," said Judge Van Wyck.
At this a broad smile spread over
the face of the foreigner, in delightful
anticipation Of the witticism he was
about to perpetrate.
"Ah, Meester," he answered, with a
bow, "you mus go for Eat kim to
Meester Shauncey Deepew."

A chieftain to the Highlands bound,
Cries, "Boatman, do not tarry!
And I'll give thee a silver pound
To row us DER the ferry"
"Now, who be We, would cross Lochgyle
This dark and stormy water?"
20, I'm the chief of Ulva's Isle,
And this Lord Ullin's daughter.
"And fast before her fathers men
Three days we've fled together,
For should he find US in the glen,
My blood would stain the heather.
His horsemen hard behind us ride;
Should they our steps discover,
Then who will cheer my bonny bride
When they have slain her loverT
Outspoke the hardy Highland wight,
'I'll go, my chief-I'm ready;
It is not for your silver bright,
But for your Winsome lady.
"And by my word! the bonny bird
In danger shall not tarry;
So though the waves are raging white,
I'll row you DER the ferry"
By this the storm grew loud apace,
The water wrath was shrieking;
And in the scowl Of heaven each face
Grew dark as they were speaking.
But still as wilder blew the wind,
And as the night grew drearer,

20, haste thee, hastev' the lady cries,
Though tempests round us gather;
I'll meet the raging Of the skies,
But not an angry father"
The boat has left stormy land,
A stormy sea before her,
When, 0! too strong for human hand,
The tempest gathered DER her.
And still they rowed amidst the roar
OF waters fast prevailing;
Lord Ullin reached that fatal shore;
His wrath was changed to wailing.
For sore dismayed, through storm and
shade,
His child he did discover;
One lovely hand she stretched for aid,
And one was round her lover.
"Come back! come back!' he cried IL
grief,
"Across this stormy water;
And I'll forgive your Highland chief,
My daughter! o, my daughter"
Twas vain; the loud waves dashed the
shore,
Return or aid preventing
The waters wild went DER his child,
And he was left lamenting.

ting that he had wasted his charity
on such an old fraud. He took the

his face toward the town.
Whether, he was unnecessarily
rough in the operation, or whether
the other stumbled, at least one
thing happened-his great green
spectacles fell off in the road. Job
stopped and restored them to him,
but, as he did so, he looked at the
mans face and he drew away in
stinctively, as if overcome with a
sudden fear,

The blind man plodded on, tapping
the road with his cane. Job, after

he was forced to pause for breath.

Then he raised his hands impotently

CHAPTER Nv.
THE COPPER CYLINDER,

Job Hendricks passed on his way
much mystifed with: what he had
seen, but as he found himself alone
on the country road his spirits re-
vived and he thought that he must
be mistaken in supposing he had just
been face to face with one whose
presence he feared. "Not much
changed after all these years. he
murmured, as he looked to right and
left over the smiling landscape.
THANK Heaven! it was in the coun-
try and not the city, for, in the lat
ter case, all traces might have been
lost" @
Evidently the beauties of nature
did not appeal to him particularly on
that OCCASION, though the Sglories Of
summer rested on the land.
