SEA GAZING IN BERMUDA.

Wonderful Life of Crystal Depths as
 Revealed to the Observer.
 It was little parrot fish that start ed out so briskly on this summer morn ing. Whether he was eager to keep an appointment or had been unexpect. edly summoned to distant part of his world one will never know, but one may be certain that the matter was of the greatest consequence so far as the little fish was concerned. Keeping his bright eyes fixed straight ahead he passed a corner of the reef where the coral was incrusted with mOllusks and sea urchins and where pair of beauti- full squirrel fish, deeply engrossed in sentimental affairs, turned to look aft CT him wonderingly through their enor- nous eyes. Below in a deep pool school of spotted trunkfish played heed lessly, while under projecting plate of staghorn coral a huge grouper wait ed expectantly, but as the parrot fish, warned of his danger, turned quickly away he gave his attention to a pair of gray snappers- quiet, ghostIy figures that seemed like two shadows drifting along far down through the green waters.
 A few feet farther on and the hurry ing parrot fish passed tall sea fan, around which three dainty butterfly fish, clad brilliantly in yellow, were peering into each nook and corner in their search for small prey, while sober cowfish, with his two conspicu- ous horns, looked on sedately. Sud- denly the parrot fish turned sharply aside to avoid spot where the reef was broken by Jutting rocks covered with green ulva. Around this a school of bright little zebra striped sergeant majors were sporting, while just to the right an anglefish, whose blue body tipped with gold first attracted the att tention of the mariners so many cen turies ago, sailed from under a purple gorgOnia with disdainful air.-Metro- pOl1tan Magazine. ~s

A Story of Queen Victoria

Queen Victoria was very fond of chill dren, and one day she invited three lit tie girls to pay her visit. The mother of one of the children went, too, to take charge of the party. During the visit the queen asked one of the little girls where she lived. "Near Whiteley's," i" answered the child, and the mother was not exactly pleased because she would have liked the queen to think they lived somewhere else. After say ing near Whiteley's" the child looked up shyly at the queen and asked, "Where do you live?" "Oh, live near Gorringe's," said the queen, with her charmingly kind smile, and the little girl had no idea that the queens house "near Gorringe's" was known to all the world as Buckingham palace or that 1t was bit grander and bigger than her little home near the shop She mention ed.

An Odd Industry.

One of the strangest of modern indus tries is that carried on in the Jura dis trict in France. It consists in taking the fur from live rabbits and weaving 1t into textile fabric which makes the warmest kind of clothing material known. The species of rabbits whicl furnish the raw material for the manu featuring process is the Angora rabbit, which has received the name of the silk rabbit. Every three months the rabbit sheds its fur, and several days before this takes place nature Is anticipated by female hands, which remove the long silken hairs by gentle friction. The skin is already ripe" and the fur comes off easily and without the rabbit suffering the slightest pain from the operation. In fact, bunny appears to enjoy it, lying quietly in the lap of the operators during the manipulation London Globe

Elizabeth sat in comparative peace through the rest of the programme. Then the last performer came to the front of the stage-a boyish looking man in the conventional evening dress of the vaudeville songster. The or chestra preluded softly for a moment, and over the darkened theater the mans voice rang out infinitely rich and deep:
 "Oh, twas sweet of old, when our love we told"-
 "Asthore," whispered Mrs. Barton de- lightedly.
 The beautiful voice sobbed and sank and rose again with the plain tive cry of the song and the last vail ing chord:
 "T am waiting for thee, ashore" |" died away into a perfect silence. There was thunder of applause.
 "You used to sing that" Mrs. Bar ton whispered to Nick, "the year after you finished college. guess Bessie remembers it. You sang 1t at my house one night-don't you know, Bes- sieT'

 The man on the stage sang the last bars of the song again.

 Elizabeth turned. startled at the sudden call, and the eyes she lifted were heavy with tears.
 "Asthore," said Nick, lower still.
 Then he helped her into her coat and wrung her hand beneath its shel- tering folds.
 Mrs. Barton bestowed a parting benedict1on on them.
 I'm real glad I've seen you," she said, beaming. Give my love to your mother, Bessie, and don't forget to send me my invitation to the we'd dim"
 Ut shall be the first one sent out, dear Mrs. Barton," said Elizabeth hap oily.

A Clever Pair of DMarfa.

Richard Gibson and his wife, who fourished in the seventeenth century, were a remarkable pair quite apart from their inches, which, combined. barely reached seven feet. Both were clever miniature painters, and Gibson was drawing master to the daughters of James H., both future queens of England. At their wedding, which was arranged by Henrietta Maria, Charles I. gave the bride away, the queen placed a valuable diamond ring on her finger, and Edmund Waller, the court poet. wrote poem, which opened thus:
 Design or chance makes others wives,
 But Nature did this match contrive; and concluded:
 An, Chloris, that kind Nature thus
 From all the world hath severed uB,
 Creating for ourselves us two

DUBLIN JARVIES.
The Happy Go Lucky Hac1kmen of

The Happy Go Lucky HackmeM of
 the Irish Metropolis.
 The Dublin jarvies are not what you would call good whips. They drive, as unladylike people say, like the divil; they cut around corners featly enough and go slashing up heartbreaking hills, but nine out of ten of them drive with a loose rein. They talk to the fare, and the little horse runs on, doing the best he can and following hR own dauntless will. lay no fault upon the jarvy. The Irish horse shares Paddy's gragh for independence. Of him, too, it may be said that he serves without servility.
 The jarvy-light hearted lad, be he young or Old-gains i'll the run of the days an average of 6 shillings. The fares are jolly cheap. For a "set down" within the boundary the charge for two persons between a. m. and 10 p. m. is only sixpence. By time the charges are one and six an hour, with an added sixpence for each sue ceeding hour. Still the jarvy does fair ly well. Barney, who is no better than the others, took me to his home. It was in Spring Gardens, where there are rows upon rows of neat little red brick cottages, with gardens and sta bleS. They rent at f20 year. Own ing his car as he does, Barney pays no car rent to any one, and if he drives Lawler's mare 'tis more for love than profit. Year in and year out he puts by bit for the ''childer, God bless emp are growing and will have need of edu- cation. In his smart little home, with his smart little wife, there are un- luckier men than he.
 ''If 'twere not for the fightin'," says Mrs. O'Hea, "a better man than Barney never pulled a shirt over his head"

The Enemies of success.

Bright, cheerful hopeful thoughts and a strong belief in one's own ability to accomplish the thing undertaken are friends that will insure success. The ambitious person should learn as early in life as possible to pick out the friends and enemies of success, and in many cases 1t will be found that the greatest enemy resides within himself. Morbid thoughts, for example, are inn nitely greater hindrances to success than opposition from outside, and no health, no beauty, no harmony, no real success can exist in the atmosphere of abnormal melancholy or morbid ideas. Overcome the enemies to success with in yourself and you will have done much toward reaching the goal of your ambition.-London Answers.

she cried in pfteous passion. You've robbed the bank at the county seat and shot the banker, and-and he shot ed-and"-
 She broke off in amazement. For, although the mounted men were steadily drawing nearer, this reckless young man sank again to the bench and burst into laughter so gay, so amused, so ringing, that she began to doubt his sanity.

KneeIinE Horses.

In ancient times, before the invention of stirrups and luxurious saddles, horses were taught to kneel to permit their riders to mount. A beautiful Greek vase In one of the museums in St Petersburg shows a war horse of many centuries ago kneeling low be- fore an amazon. The riders in those days mounted from the "off'' side in contradiction to the modern usage. Plutarch tells how in the first century of this era certain effeminate Roman riders found even the horse block of too little assistance and had their horses trained to kneel to them.

Earthquakes generally do their work with great rapidity, but there are ex- captions. While Caracas and Lisbon were destroyed in few minutes, the Calabrian earthquakes beginning in 1783 lasted four years. Earthquakes travel across the earth at velocities varying between several hundred and several thousand feet a second, the greater the intensity of the shock the greater being the velocity. The sea waves that frequently accompany earthquakes also travel at tremendous speeds. A submarine earthquake near the coast of Japan in 1854 gave rise to sea waves which traversed the whole breadth of the Pacific at the rate of 370 miles an hour. At Simoda, Japan, the waves from this earthquake were thirty feet high. At San Diego, Cal, they were only six inches high.

Preservation of Meat.

Meat is commonly preserved by sleeping 1t in brine. This method, however, has the undesirable effect of extracting from the meat much soluble nutritious matter besides rendering the meat harder and less digestible. An other way of preserving 1t Is in air tight cases. The cases are packed with meat and filled up with gravy and are then dramatically sealed except at one point They are then exposed to heat above that of boiling water for several hours, thus destroying all the existing germs and driving out all the air con- tained in them. The open part Is then soldered over. If by any accident the tin is not dramatically sealed the meat will spoil.-American Queen.

At the breaking out of the Crimean war Eliza Rachel. the celebrated French tragedienne, was in St. Peters burg. Just before leaving the Russian capital some of the officials of the city gave a banquet in her honor. At the end of the feast one of the Russian of hcers, a nobleman of high rank, said to Rachel in bantering sort of way:
 "We will not bid you 'goodby,' but merely 'au revoir,' for we will soon be in Paris to drink your health in spar kling champagne"

Burton and the "Arabian Nights"

Burton and the Arabian Nlghts."
 Sir Richard Burton made $50,OOO out of his translation of the Arabian Nights" When after about fifteen years labor he completed this valuable book he submitted 1t to a number of publishers, and no one would offer him more than $2,5OO for 1t. He was about to accept these terms when his wife said:
 Let me publish this work for you, Richard. To print and bind and put on the market a set of books surely can- not be superhuman undertaking Let me try It. The publishers don't offer you a fair price. Let us, then, balk them, and if any profit is to be made from all your labor let us and not the publishers enjoy it."
 Sir Richard consented. His wife set to work. She got estimates from paper dealers, from printers, from binders. She found that to publish her husbands translation sumptuously would require $3O,OOO. At first she was appalled,. But she managed somehow to get suff1- cient capital together, and ultimately the Arabian Nights" came out. The Burtons made $5O,OOO.
