SUNRISE ON THE SEA.

Across the waters. as smooth as a floor,
There's a golden path from the ship to the
shore;
The sun that shines on the silent sea,
Throws a line of light Ger the main to me,
And a health 70 the hosts If humanity
And this glittering gleam, this radiant ray,
This stream of splendor, at dawn of day,
Is a sight worth seeing when out at sea.
What now doth the sun in its beauty be-
That dyes the deep with a CLEAN of gold?
1t sees q snowy, stlvery speck,
Where the seagull sails; a school Of whales,
That are blowing and beating the tide
with their tails;
A ship, Of fine structure and strength, with
her.
Steel sides and rigging of hemp and fir:
And 1t dwels on the children that romp on
the deck;
On ardent lovers the lass as fair
As her lad heroic o happy pairi-
On gray-haired veterans SCARED with time.
And their consorts, constant through many
year:
On these the sun smiles, for they all are
here.
And sweet are the memories which come TO
On this mild and motionless sunlit sea
Oerstreaked with the sunbeams lustrous
light,
Reviving visions as beauteous and bright
Bedecked with gems from her coral mines.
And my spirits glow like the sunlight )
CLEAN,
For / know that the power of the All
Supreme
Our pilots Pilot-though far from land,
Still rules the wave end governs the hand
That guides the ship that is bearing me,
Mid its precious freight of humanity.
And this is the lesson that comes to me,
On the mammoth, mighty, majestic sea,
That, whether the weather be foul or fair.
The sun that is shining and smiling there,
Will smile ard shine and signal still
In grandeur and glory, through good and
i'll,
To tighten the crosses and lessen the care
OF diligent workers who do His WILL
May the truth of thy teachings, o Sun and
Sea,
Be a watchword and warning to mankind
and me.

He declares that by the middle of the
year named Germany will have thir-
teen Dreadnoughts, hut Great Britain
will have twenty, and that these with
the acknowledged superiority of her navy
in other respects, viii assure the continu-
ance of Britain's supremacy on the sea. At
the same time articles in the Berlin press
afford evidence that the German public
is heartily discontinued with the contin-
uance of burdensome taxation for the ex-
pansion of the German navy. 1t has
been clear from the beginning of the
naval competition between Germany and
Great Britain that time would come
when public opinion in both countries
would revolt at the tax burdens which
it imposes. Perhaps that time has ar

That the tanning of leather could be
FASTENED by electricity has been known
for years and the process is widely used,
but the curing of hams by electricity is
something new. The Cleveland man
who claims to have originated the idea
told the members of the American Meat
Packers Association. at their recent con-
vention at Chicago, that a ham which
he cured by the electric process three
and half years ago is as good now as
the day it received its electric bath. The
hams are placed in large vat filed with
d pickle composed of sugar, salt and
saltpetre, and an electric current is
passed through the vat. The process is
cheaper as well as quicker, and there
fore represents new economy in pack
ing.

LAST STAND OF THE ELK.
Few Herds Left in Southern Oregon
Along the Coos River.

SSO0
There is vast region in southern Ore
gon where the watersheds slope toward
the coast. Here Coos river rises and
winds its way westward through noun
tain defiles and to the south the North
Fork of Coquille river and its tributaries
rise and flow through passes even more
abrupt; then to the north Lake creek
and its branches drain a large district,
and its waters finally flow into the Ump-
qua. A few small herds of elk still roam
in their wild freedom over this territory
their last staEd-for the settlements
are fast crowding them back, and the
inexorable tread of fate will soon see
their last haunt appropriated by man.
Formerly thousands of elk inhabited
this wild and almost inaccessible range.
The mountains being so rough and
densely timbered, the most hardy woods
men hesitate before undertaking the diff
ficult task of following the few dim
trails that lead into them, much less
think of bringing out their antlers and
meat. Here the hunter may travel
through many townships under thickly
interviewer giant treetops with scarcely
an opportunity to see the blue sky, and
the deep shadows of eventide are always
present. The canOns are deep, and their
walls of dark-green blend into the blue
black shadows of the dizzy depths be-
low. All about you are long, low,
crooked ridges and saw-toothed ranges
in the distance which impress you with
the magnitude of this great region where
the happy rays of light are lost in noun
tain gloom. The dark green confer
woods-the softest of forest scenery
give no hint of the tangle of vines and
windfalls where the object of the quest
seeks cover from the hunter.
The elk has learned to avoid the few
trails that follow the main chain Of dl-
vides and watersheds of this region. He
finds the heads of the small streams that
rise in the deep gorges less frequented
by man, so makes his homes in these
deep canons where he can feed undis-
turbed. Here the luxuriant browse, and
the fallen timber and underground offer
him a suitable place to ruminate In
these places silence and shade join with
the harmony of the vast tangle of green,
brown. red and gray in shielding the
wild wards from their foes.-Recreaton.

ternational lawyers, the only member OF
the executive committee of the American
Embassy association resident in Europe
a vigorous campaign will soon be begun
to induce the American government to
purchase embassy buildings in foreign
capitals. He says: 1.-The time has Ger
tainly come when this country should
have its own embassy buildings. As q
foreign resident l can speak with feel
ing on this subject. We Americans who
have to live in Paris have tried on tW"
occasions to present house to our COY

and to his sisters home. But there the
widows fortitude gave way and she
took to her bed. She died on Friday
night, October %, while her husbands
body was still in the house. Her last
request was that she should rest beside
him. So the flowers that were massed
on the grave of her husband had fresh
companions, for only forty-eight hours
after his burial she was laid beside him.

ment.
Charlie came up to him a few minutes
later, as he stood alone near where she
had left him.
What the deuce have you been
thinking?" he whispered, gripping his
arm. Whose ring did you suppose that
was, anyhow
Il know very well that ii was Miss
Laughton's," his brother replied.
Miss Laughton's be fiddlesticks You
didn't suppose she'd be letting me or
any other fellow wear"
But interrupted Frank, 81 saw you
giving it to her-I saw you holding her
hand there under the palm.
"You saw me reading her hand and
describing husband to her that was
you to the dot"
His brother looked at him, bewildered.
what sort of game are you playing
with lre,' he asked.
No game at all; though, goodness
knows, I've been mad enough at you to
play you almost any kind But it's the
truth Pm telling YOU | described you
to her, and | tell you she liked it. If
you weren't so dead slow, you might
have found it out yourself long ago"
But the ring?"
"The ring? Oh, that was the little
blondes you We're talking with. You
don't suppose there's only one like it in
the world, do your"
Frank did not reply.
At the other end of the room Miss
Laughton stood, bright center, about
which were grouped the most eligible
men of her set. He gazed earnestly at
her moment, unable to believe his
brothers words. His look drew her
eyes to his. She glanced up frankly;
then her lids slowly lowered, and a faint
blush deepened the pink of her cheeks.
Frank turned to his brother.
Charlie" he said, what made you
, tell me-this ?'
Charles laughed lightly.
Good heavens, man! we're brothers !;
and if you did go for me tonight you've
helped me out of more scrapes than
you'd get into if you lived as long as
Methuselah. But I say, Frank. you've
got to help me make peace with the
blonde, you know. She's down on me

How Cinnamon Shave.

Zone of the chief trials of the average
man is the way his razor pulls when he
proceeds to erase the beard from his
face" says a recent visitor to China.
Some years ago l was in China. and /
noticed that the cunning BARRIERS of that
country instead of putting lather on the
faces of their customers, used a number
of hot towels instead. went through the
experience and became a convert to the
system. To this day, when go to shave
in lieu of soap l steam my face with hot
water. and find that this method takes
all the witness out of the whiskers far
better than lather, so that if the blade is
reasonably sharp you can shave without
any torture incurred in the pulling pro-

The current number of The World
Today, a Chicago illustrated monthly,
contains a picture of a car ferry on the
Baltic sea, between Sassnitz, Germany,
and Trellborg, Sweden. The steamer re-
sembles the Great Lakes car ferries, but
she is smaller and can accomO-
date only sixteen or eighteen cars.
The Great Lakes ferries are more inn
posing sea-going ships, and they can
carry approximately thirty freight cars.
The fergying distance is also longer on
the lakes, and the liability to encounter
heavy weather" therefore greater. The
Great Lakes ferries are steamers worthy
of note, as they compare favorably with
the steel steamers for ocean service, and
maintain schedules with the regularity
of train service.
