ADRlFT WITH THE TIMES
VACATION.

VACATION. There's a message from the mountain And message from the sea, Whispering, Leave work and worry, Come away and happy be, Where the sky will bend above you And the blooms will softly sway And you'll have your fill of dreaming Where the crested breakers play. Turn from sordid walks and crowded To the quiet haunts of peace, Where life's turmoil is forgotten And it's din and clamor cease; Where the dawn uphods promise And the sunsets crimson glow Brings on wings of recollection Pictures of the long ago. Drop awhile the task that binds you To the throbbing city mart, Come and let the twilight breezes Wait their perfume to your heart; Come where incidence is monarch In a realm of fancy free, Where the mountain pine is signing And the moon is on the seal''

A Great Speech To- An AdmirinQ
Crowd.

Senator James B. McCreary
was here Monday and had an en-
thusiastic hearing. Court days
are our busiest, but the people
found time to listen to this apostle
of genuine. old time Democracy.
The Senator was his best, he dealt
hard blows to the party that fos-
tiers trusts, standing squarely on
the platform adopted at Denver by
the National Democrats. The Sen
atOr predicts the election of Bryan
and Kern by astonishing majorities
and that Kentucky will be back in
line to stay. There is harmony in
the party here and the effort of to-
day tends to strengthen the cords.
Our people always give to Sen
ator McCreary a close hearing and
rejoice at his coming. Long may
he live to deliver the doctrines of
liberty.

Nation of Noises.


In China night is as alive as the day
and is filled with whoops, noisy con-
versation, the singsong accompanying
work, boisterous repartee and every
other unmuslcal sound. In addition,
the darkness is one long howl of dogs,
cackle Of geese, braying of donkeys,
croallng of frogs, the squealing Of
pigs, the drumbeats of the policeman
and even, as some one has said, "the
singing of the stars" Individually the
people are full of varieties of unsup-
pressed, violent demonstrativeness,a and
collectively they are only a terrific
tribal turbulence. One most approprl-
ate name for China has never been
given it, 1t has been called the Yellow
Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, the Ce-
lestial Empire, the Pigtail Nation, the
Sleepy Giant and others. No one of
these is more applicable than the Ma
tion of Noises. Noise is seemingly the
first element of Chinese life and has
been cultivated for centuries by Chi
nese talent and in conception, develop
ment and execution presents not only
new varieties, but scores Of new spe'
cies.-Cor. Montreal Standard.

EUROPE GROWS COLDER.

Some months ago there appeared in
these columns some tables worked up
by Camille Flammarion to show
changes of meteorological character
which seems to have taken place in
Europe. Writing again, he states
that from actual figures obtained
within the past six years he has be-
come certain that the temperature, of
Europe has beer falling. France has
been suffering for a long time FROM
an excess of cold weather, the Their
mometerical reading at Paris having
been one degree below the normal
height.
Other readings show even less favor
able results. The fall is more notice
able during the spring than during
other periods Of the year. Similar
phenomena are recorded In Great
Britain, BELGIUM, Spain, Italy,
Austria and Germany. In the days
of Philip Augusta, in the thirteenth
century, the wines of Etampes and
Beauvais we're the favorite beverages
at court. Henry ~, pronounced bon
vivant, frequently expressed his fond
ness for the produc of the Suresnes
grape. At the present day there is
not vineyard of importance north of
Paris, and as for the petit vim now
,,odo Of Surocpaci ~ boe booon,o tbo
drink only of the poorer classes.
In the middle of the sixteenth cen
fury Macon was celebrated for its
muscatel wines, whereas the muscatel
grape at this moment can scarcely be
made to thrive there.
Ancient chronicles mention the Gull
tivation of the vine III Northern Brit
tany, where now even apples are not
plentiful. Again, it is to be remarked
that trees which once flourished in
the north of France are at present
found in the extreme south, and a
considerable mum Der have disappeared
altogether.
Languendoc no longer grows tue
lemon; there is not an orange left in
Rousillon. The LON hardy poplar, so
familiar and picturesque in old French
line engravings, is now nowhere to
be found on French soil. These are
facts which, putting statistics out OF
the question, serve to illustrate the
changes wrought by temperature in
the great fruit producing country OF
France.
