Woman,s Love.

1t takes hundred men TO make an
encampment, but it takes only the in
fuencc of one woman to make home.
| not only admire woman as The most
beautiful object ever created. but
reverence her us the redeemed glory OF
humanity. the sanctuary of all virtues,
the pledge OF all perfect qualities of
heart and head II Is because women
are SO much better than men that their
faults are considered greater The one
thing In this world that is considerGs
constant, the only peak that rises
above the clouds, the window in which
the light burns forever, the one star
that darkness cannot quench. is wo-
mans love. 1t rises to the greatest
height: It sinks to the lowest depths
it foreiveS the most cruel injuries \
woman'S love Is the perfume of the
heart. This is the real love that sub
dues the earth; the love that has
wrought miracles Of art; that gives us
music all the way from cradle song TO
the grand symphony that bears the
soul away on wings of tire-a love
that is greater than power. sweeter
than life and stronger than DEATH

Crooked Straits.

Perhaps the most remarkable and
intricate strait in the world is likely
TO he chucked on the scrap heap. Its
day. which began late in history, is
almost over. The Panama canal has
diverted most of its traffic and will
presently divert much more. The ia
nous explorer Magellan was the first
man TO brave the dangers of this tor
tuous passage. He did it in wind
TANNER, but as rule only steamships
follow in his train. 1t is too crooked n
strait for the sailing ship.
In the first place, the strait of Magel-
Ian is 400 miles long. 1t is as twisty
and bendy as serpent or an eel, and
in places il is tlanked with snow cap
ped mountains 1000 feet high.
1t would help matters If ships could
anchor, but they cannot The water
is too deep. SO this strait has never
been popular with sailing shippers,
and they prefer the rigors OF the Horn
and several hundred miles farther
around.
