Seeing California.

The average eastern tourist when
visiting California enters the state at
Los Angeles, takes a few rides on the
various radiating electric lines, hus-
ties onto the train for San Francisco,
visits the seals, and hastens north or
east affirming that he has "seen Cali
fornia"-but has he? True, he has
seen sights to which his eyes were not
accustomed, eaten various fruits and
vegetables strangers to his palate,
and breathed the wondrous air, but to
see California Understandings one
must visit the mountains as well as
the valleys Probably no other sec
ton is richer in scenes noted for their
beauty and grandeur, places made

A SONG.

When pallid Dawn comes up the sky,
And Day and Night for moments briex
Touch hands and lips, the waking Sea
Bethinks her of some ancient grief.
Haggard and wrinkled, gray and grim,
She means the burden Of her care,
The ghost of that wild thing that leapt
BY day the winds wild sport to share.
Belize the voices of the dead,
Tossed in her boundless charnel caves
Since mans first ship was drawn to
death,
Haunt her above her beating waves.
Or else there presses on her heart
The weight of immemorial age,
Before the sun brings back TO mind
Her youths eternal heritage.

Of men whom all the world knows.

Talks with Mr.. Gladstone" tells
not in the book-a story which pre-
sents the statesman in an attitude not
familiar in ordinary representations of
the great man.
One stormy day during one of Mr..
Gladstone's visits to Biarritz he
walked from his hotel to call on Mr..
Tollemache, who was amazed to see
that Mr.. Gladstone came without an
umbrella.
Mr.. Gladstone laughingly explained
that If the high wind had happened

The act of canonization of st. Sera-

the Russian authorities as a purely do

Maude looked upon her guest as her
property. She had long ago laughing

been his welcome to her, and he had
wooed and won absolution.
Sometimes Florence sighed as she

alone; but she gave to the sigh no
name, and thought the tribute to be

One day came her awakening.
Maude and Mr.. Grover had gone for
their afternoon ride, but it had ex-
tended beyond its wont, and she had
grown anxious and ventured forth to
meet them, striking into the forest
path which was their favorite way.
A half-mile from her home she met
