THE BRAVE OLD WAY.

[ say risk all for one warm kiss; -.
/ say 'twere better to risk the fall,
Like Romeo, to venture all,
And boldly climb to deadly bliss.
| like that savage, Sabine way;
What mighty MINISTRIES came of it!
Their songs are ringing to this day,
The bravest ever sung or writ.
Their loves, the love of Juliet,
Of Portia, Pesdemona, yea,
The old true loves are living yet;
And we, We love, we weep, We sigh
In love with loves that will not die.
Then take her, lover, sword in hand
Hot-blooded, and red-handed; clasp
Her sudden, stormy, tall, and grand.
And lift her in your iron grasp,
And kiss her, kiss her till she cries
From keen, sweet, happy. killing pain,
Aye, kiss her till she seeming dies;
Aye, kiss her till she dies, and then,
Why, kiss her back to life again!

The callousness caused by wal

The c~allousness caused by war is
strikingly shown in the reception given
the news Of the sinking of Russian
warships in the harhor of Port Ar.
thur, comments the Philadelphia Press.
In time of peace the wreck of a single
ship of this class would be a world
sensation; to-day it scarcely stirs a
furry OF interest. 1t is simply looked
upon as one move in the big game OF

KING MAC, e.
The fardy Scot Who Rules TERRA
del Fuego.

In new kits and plaid and playing
a pibroch of triumph on his pipes
John Farquharson Macrae, formerly
of Scotland, but now of TERRA de
Fuego, strobe the gangway of the Or
uba at Liverpool Yesterday, bound
once more for South America. During
twenty-five years, spent for the most
part among the hostile natives OF the
Lands End of the Western Cont
nent, John FarQuilars0n Macrae chung
to his pipes as he chung to his Scot
fish accent. When h. had no human
companion TO converse with, Ills p!b,
| roch ]resoundeI Oyer the waters Of the
Magellan Strait.
AS a youth he left his native heath
for Argentina and reared cattle. Att
err a few years he found himself in
| possession of over SEQ horses and a
couple of thousand sheep.
These animals he trekked over two
thousand miles, with the aid of a
compass and chart, to southern Pata-
gonia. He watered and fed his fOcks
and herds by the way with only five
men to assist him, but at the end of
a year CT hunger and thirst and IA
tigue he found himself in possession
of a fine stretch of country over 80.
900 acres in extent.
After leasing this land for ten
years, he sought fresh territory and
trekked over into Terra del Fuego.
He was the first Britoa to penetrate
into the county, and the natives re-
scented the intrusion. The tall Aonas
and the stunted Yaghans came in
hcrdes, attacked his little castle, and
lay in wait for him with arrows.
An intrepid rider anu an unerring
shot, however, he would ride away
concealed by the horses body and
shooting with deadly effect. For sew
eral years he carried his life in his
hands, but at last the savages began
to regard him with such respect and
fear that they christened him "Sorto,'
the native equivalent FOR the devil"
For some years past the SCOTS
pioneer has been undisputed monarch
of Terra del Fuego, VIZ e he has
amassed a fortune. 1t is with the bag
pipes that he rules.-London Mail.

GERMANY'S SHIPPING.
Highest Class OF Vessels Comes From
Fcreiqn Yards.

Germany still finds it more conven.
lent TO buy a considerable proportion
of her highest class steamships from
foreign yards, says American Syren
and Shipping. And she is not only in
creasing the wages of her craws from
20 to 80 per cent. during the past
decade. While building new steamers
in foreign yards to be placed under
her flag forthwith, Germany is also
buying old foreign tonnage, deemed
out of date by the former owner, and
somehow making these second hand
ships pay their way.
In 1868 the dividends paid by the
four principal Hamburg steamship
lines varied from 6 to s per cent.
