they started for camp with their pris-

surprise he could hardly understand

"Where'd you come from, Yank?'

"Vom Prwoossia." he answered stol-

She Expected Too Mueh.-ossiar
Fingal Thompson, chief clerk In the
Nickel Plate passenger department
was a station agent once-everybody
recalls Terrence Mulvaney, who was g
corp'ril wanct-in the city Of Eria
That was In his Lake Shore days, how
ever. They had a certain New YORK
train favored Of the town, No. 1t was
scheduled, concerning which a lady
called to make some inquiries.
mo. 6 is ten minutes late" said the
polite agent.
The lady turned to speak to friend
who had accompanied her, but in three
minutes approached the window to re-
peat her question. Again Thompson
gave the desired information.
Another two minutes and the ques-
ton was asked for a third time. This
time Thompson felt just the least bii
nettled.
Madam" he said, with all the Sc
verify Of which his gentle soul was
capable, mo. is still ten minutes
late!"
But she was far from crushed
"Pshaw!" she exclaimed. Il thought II

by this time."-Cleveland Leader.

Japan,s psnssIy Populated Spot

One Of the most densely peopled spots
in the world is O-dori street, Toxic.
The long thoroughfare known as Gina
which runs from near the Shimbashi
railway station to Spectacles Bridge, Is
made UP of several streets with differ
ent names, some wide and modern,
some old fashioned and narrow, and II
the earth were suddenly to cape open
wide in that portion known as O-dori
street, at any hour Of the day. there Is
no other thoroughfare in the Japanese
city where the results to human life
would be more fatal. For here the tide
of human life runs the highest. But
o-dori street is extremely narrow, so
that the density Of the crowd does
not make the daily figures much above
the 100000 mark. Unlike most Of the
other important cities Of the world,
this thickly populated commercial dis
trict of Toxic is situated outside the
city walls.-Strand. 'fr..a

THE SEA WITHOUT TIDES
Contrast Between the Mediterranea
and the Ocean Beyond.

Contrast Between the Mediterranean an
and the Ocean Beyond.
The Mediterranean Sea, which has
lately been the centre point of inter-
est, is commonly described as tideless,
and the description is correct. at any
rate, Of it's eastern end. Navigators
like Jonah and st. Paul knew nothing
Of tides. The word does not even oc-
cur in the Bible.
1t was no doubt the amazement
felt by ancient Greek mariners accus-
toned to the even level Of the tideless
sea, at sight Of the tidal bore Of the
Seine at Rouen. which inspired the
story Of amorous Neptune pursuing
the nymph island, says the London
Globe. The sea god, baked Of his
Ceres and Bacchus, still rushes mad
ly into the esturay twice in the "a
hours, and is apparently engaged in
chasing innumerable nymphs with the
same zeal into the very estuary on the
Atlantic.
Science has discovered a less ro-
mantle exploration Of the tides in the
influence Of the sun and moon. These,
operating in the ratio Of one to four,
produce spring tides when pulling to-
gether and neaps when in opposition.
lHe lludl COllIdSl dl SOuluellu anu
the mightiest effort Of the British
Channel at Chepstow are alike dwarf
ed by the eccentricities Of the Bay Of
Fundy, that cul de sac between Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick, into which
the Atlantic rushes with pent-up fury,
giving rise to such effects as the bore
at Moncton, the Reversible Falls at St.
John and the lightning transformation
of Windsor from a swamp to a deep
water harbor in the course Of a few
minutes. AS, however, 1t Is a har-
Dor for only four hours and swamp
for twenty, the economic utility Of
Windsor Is qualified.
Remarkable as are these expressions
Of the ocean to eyes unaccustomed to
such freaks Of tidal equilibrium, it
must be confessed that the tourist is
certain to encounter disappointment If
he expects too much. Thus the tides
of the Bay Of Fundy are absolutely
unnoticeable on the steamships which
cross from Digby to ST. John.
The Reversible Falls at the latter
port, the suspension bridge overhead.
are Just worth the short drive from
the city; but the much advertised
Moncton Bore Is poor lion In the
light of day, though, heard rather
than seen, at night. the coming Of the
wave over the mudflats inspires an
agreeable feeling Of fear in those gath
cred on the little quay for the pur-
pose. It's only rival Is said to be In
far Cathay, but from all accounts the
Chinese bore is a far more formidable
food.

Protecting Angel on Bleak Island That

An island Of volcanic origin, made up
Of bleak hills and frozen salt marshes;
a short summer, the temperature aver
aging less than 40 degrees, when the
tundra grass and lichens grow, and
quickly maturing wild flowers, but
most Of the year waste of snow and
ice-floes down and pack them in great
hummocks, twenty or thirty feet high
along the shore, until the currents
themselves are frozen; emphasizing
this desolation as Eskimo settlement OF
300 souls; and In the midst, like pro-
tecting angel (Which in truth it is), q
schoolhouse floating the stars and

Less than 10 degrees west In the 1S0th

The nearest land is Indian Point, ST.
IBERIA, forty miles away. Since nobody
knows when, the natives traded ivory,
walrus skins, and skin canoes to the
Indian Point natives for reindeer skins
and bear skins. They were often COM
PEELED to trade against their will, and
many battles were fought, sometimes
almost to the determination Of the st.
Lawrence people.
The plain, one-story schoolhouse,
with living rooms in the rear, to which
the wing has since been added, was
built more than twenty years ago by
the Episcopalians for mission, at a
cost Of $4,000. About that time the mis-
sionary at Cape Prince Of Wales was
murdered by three Of his schoolboys,
and 1t was decided st. Lawrence was
too remote and dangerous, and the idea
was abandoned. Later the Presbyteri-
ans purchased the building for $4,000.
In 1894 the United States cutter Bear,
landed missionary and his wife, Mr..
and Mrs. Gambell, at the school, to-
gether with a years supply Of provi-
sions, coal and other necessaries.

SERVICE

Because Of the fact that have
been engaged exclusively In the insur-
ance business for fourteen years,
have studied 1t from top to bottom
and am still at 1t, and represent the
oldest and strongest companies, I do
not believe there Is an agency any
where that is in position to render
better or more Accurate Service to
the person who wants any kind OF
GOOD insurance, than mine. If you
place your fire insurance with an
agent who knows little, II any, more
about the insurance business than
you do yourself, 1t will not make a
particle Of difference whether the in
surance Is properly written or wheth-
er the company is time tried and
fire tried" and noted for its lib
erality in adjusting losses, IL you never
have fire, but in case you do have
a fire you may find when 1t is too late
that there Is really a difference In
companies and agents. Others have,
and why not you? When 1t comes to
Life Insurance no man can success
fully contradict the assertion that
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Co. Is the best I'm the business.

EARLY MARRIAGE THE THING
Or. Eliot Firmly Of Opinion That II
Should Not Be Put Off Until
Middle Life.

DR.. Eliot, whose name was men.
toned as American Ambassador in
London. is strongly in favor of early
marriages. Here are his views:-
"You will hear some young man say.

brought up to do nothing for herself,
and to have every qualification and
every luxury provided for her, to
marry me, until / can earn an In.

marks to make about that doctrine
that II a girl has been brought up in
that manner, the sooner she has q
chance to live differently the better
for her; and secondly, that it is only
fair for a young man who loves .
young woman to consult her as to
whether or not she wishes to marry
him before he can earn q large in.
come.
"The young woman has q clear
right to say word on that subject
to the man she loves, and not to be
obliged to wait till he Is thirty.five
years old before he asks her to marry
him. This is a matter of looking
ahead at a critical point in your lives.
Young men are not in the habit, per.
haps, Of contemplating this aspect Of
marriage. 1t would be wiser to do so.
The sooner you begin to think about it
the better-first, because it will be
thinking about the most important
event in your lives in respect to the
development Of your own characters
and to the happiness not only Of your.
selves, but of the women you will
marry, and of the family life which
will normally result"
