THE TALE OF THE MODERN
MARINER.
1t was modern mariner
That stopped to talk with me.
'sBy thy oily clothes and grimy face,
What's up?'' says to he.
The mariner is bent and bowed;
His feet he drags like lead.
With weary sigh he makes reply:
II had bat, he said.
Full twenty feet it was in length;
She had three-blade screw.
Her engine had ten horses strength;
She was half cabined, too.
Twas yesterday we sped away
With baggage loaded down.
We left the dock at six O'Clock;
At seven she broke down.
''We tried the spark; we cleaned the plugs,
The carburetor, too
We fumed and toiled and cleaned and oiled;
Eftsoons the air was blue.
'sWe took the cylinders apart;
We searched with eager touch
The pump, the shaft the wheel abaft,
The timer and the clutch.
Then back each part we put with care
And bathed the whole in grease,
And cranked and cranked and cranked and
cranked
Nine hundred times apiece.
s'Till in the tank looked at last,
That fed the motors might.
Then rose cry that rent the sky;
That tank was empty quite.
"Water, water everywhere
Upon the linpid scene.
Water everywhere but not
A drop of gasoline.
with lips unslaked, with skins sunbaked
We sat the livelong day
And fed our thirst, the while we cursed
As wore the hours away,
Till in the gloam we crept in home,
lowed by fisher gray"
The mariner hath told his tale.
CHOW fare thee well,' says he,
:.And say, if you should chance TO note
chump who wants motor boat,
Pray send him quick to me"

A Cultivated Memory.

E. c. ,Laston, who issued a chal-
lenge to the world for the memory
championship, although only a young
mai of twenty-three years, is a verita-
BILE walking encyclopaedia, for he has
memorized 10000 dates of the princi-
pal events in the worlds history since
the creation. 1t was quite by accident
that ne discovered that he had an
exceptional gift of memory. He was
being trained as an army officer, when
an attack of rheumatic fever dispelled
his hopes in that direction. At that
time he happened to meet the Zancigs
in India, who, noticing what a re-
markable memory he had for dates,
advised him to cultivate it. He then
purchased a copy Of Haydn's Die
tionary of Dates" and sought to COM
nit to memory the dates of the most
important events in the worlds his
tory by writing fifty to a hundred
dates on a piece of paper, and re-
writing them three or four times until
he had fully grasped them, with the
result that he has a repertory of
thousands of dates, and can give the
correct answers without the slightest
hesitation.-London Tit-Bits.

Is graceful in the extreme and is
adapted to an infinite variety of ma
terials, while it allows singularly sue
cessful use of buttons as trimming.
If made from wide material it can be
cut in three pieces, while II made
from narrow it can be cut in four,
with a a at the centre front,
which fact greatly extends its useful
ness, as it becomes just as we'll adapt
ed to the narrow fabrics as it does to
the wide ones. There are pleated pan
els at the side, which mean grace and
novelty in one, and the closing is
made at the left side. In the illus
tration PONCE colored Shantung Is
finished simply with trimming of jet
buttons, that combination being one
of the latest and smartest of the sea-
son.
The skirt can be made in either
three or four pieces with the panels,
which are additional, and which are
Joined to it at the sides. The upper
edge is arranged over a fitted girdle,
and the closing is made above the
panel at the left side. Two lengths
are included, the one which escapes
the ground and the one which means

for occasions of formal dress.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is six yards

The Man She LOVED

ance very gravely.
81 am sorry she is i'll, but I quite
understand" he said, while he pulled
on his gloves; this is very sudden
and very shocking"
yes; we had no idea my uncle was
so i'll as he must have BEEN" Enid
answered, as she passed her hand
over her throbbing brow.
The doctor looked at her keenly.
HE was no worse than he had been
for years, Miss Leslie" he said:
tersely.
You mean" she began, hur-
riedly.
81 mean that Sir Robert might and
would probably have lived for years,
He has died from no disease, but from
an overdose of laudanum-a dose
strong enough to kill three men,"
Enid grew paler and paler.
"Laudanum?" she repeated, me,
chanically. How"
THAT is what we must discover, .
the doctor finished, promptly. "There
must have been some c%arelessness
somewhere, and it must be inquired
into. That is why i wished to see
Miss Knebwell tonight"
"She is not fit to discuss this yeti
Enid spoke with decision and was
astonished at her own firmness after
she had spoken.
"Then tomorrow. Anything I can
do you may depend, Miss Leslie, will
be done. I should advise you to ap-
prise Sir Roberts lawyers of his
death without delay. Some one
should be here in authority; it is too
much for a girl like your cousin to
take on her shoulders"

His Perfect Work.

ton. But the day and distance will

anced we're all Gods thoughts of us.
. = Some views of life are never
understood except in a review, some
prospects or aspects never appreciated
EXCEPT in retrospect. Reserve your

Thumb Prints in the Army.

The navy is to follow the army in
adopting the Cation system of identi-
fcation by thumb prints, although,
to avoid irritation among the men,
it will be applied to only new re-
cruits. For while the measure may
be plausibly explained as taken for
the purpose Of Identifying the dead
or wounded. every one knows that its
chief value is in capturing ~deserters.
Of course, as the men re-enlist they
will come under the new regulation,
but this is not quite the same thing.

Stockholders Increase.

The fact that the number Of stock
holders in thirty-one leading indus
trial and railroad corporations Of the
United States is now 326,S47, or
101,23O more than before the panic,
is one of great significance. The
wider the distribution of the stock
ownership of the corporations of the
country the better for the corpora
tions and the country.

The Source of All.

When we see the million rain
drops of the shower we say, with rea-
son, there must be one great sea from
which all these drops come. And
when we see, as it were, countless
drops and countless rays OF goodness
scattered about in the world, a little
good in this man, and a little good
in that, shall we rot say, there must
be one great sea, n central u OF
goodness, from whence all human
goodness comes? And where can
that centre of goodness be, but in the
very character of God Himself?-
Rev. Charles Kingsley.

a Memorable Victory.

Whether We see it or no, future
generations will note how crucial for
SUBSEQUENT days were these present
moments that now lie plastic to our
hand. If the Christian Church OF u
times rouses itself or is aroused by a
divine enthusiasm, frames a compre-
hensive missionary policy, and carries
It out faithfully, it will win a men,
orable victory-it may be the deci-
sive victory-for Jul race and it's
future.-Rev. Alexander Connellr

Latest Fads in Belts.

fooled and gilded belts are the lat
est fad of fair Parisians. With an
ingenious eye for effect, many women
are wearing them back to front, the
deep buckle coming in front, while
the narrower one, with its holes for
adjusting, goes to the back. This
plan gives a pretty sloping line to the
waist. The striped leather belt is
very fashionable for the moment
The belts are of white suede, and the
stripes, about half an inch wide, run
across.

Earrings and Collars.

Cut jet earrings are the accepted
ornaments by the smart set and it's
followers. Family heirlooms are
taken out of old boxes, polished and
adjusted to the ears with a modern
clamp. They are worm on the street
as we'll as in the house. They do rot
look amiss with a coat suit. a large
fur turban and a close veil of black
Russian net.

Brown Still Popular,

All shades of soft golden browns
and burnt orange tones are just as
popular as ever. In the Brussels
mesh there is a rich gold net for
gowns, and the lace for flouncing has
a gold thread worked through it.

Polka Dots.

This season the medium size polka
dot, black or white on a colored
ground, and narrow stripes carrying
out the same idea are the newest, but
any small pattern will be in good
taste.

Mirage silk is extremely glossy,
