HOW TIME IS PASSED ON THE TRIP TO ENG-
LAND sr A PLEASING SEASIDE RESORT
SOUTHPORT. Lancashire, England,
June 15. (To the Editor.) The At
lantic Ocean Is now nothing more
than a big ferry constantly croBsed by
largo boats carrying- freight and passen-gcrs.-
The steamer on which I crossed
was the New England, of the Dominion
line, 11,500 tons. She is not a racer, her
record lielng about 3S0 miles a day. On
the trip there were about 1000 passengers
COO In the etcerage, 200 lri,the second cab
In, and the same number in the flret
cabin.
Our first-cabin passengers were mostly
from Canada and the NW England states.
The Pacific Coast was poorly represented,
there being only five persons on board two
from. Portland, two from San Francisco,,
and one from "Victoria. We were a pleas
ant family and after the first day out were
fairly well acquainted with each other.
The American Invaders of England, were
represented by a gentleman from Lowell,
Mass., who was in the course of trans
ferring mill machinery from his
former mill near Belfast machinery
worth over a million dollars. He
was engaged in the business of manufac
turing linings for coats, dresses, etc An
other "Invader" was Mr. Sullivan, of "Sul
livan's rubber heels," who is establishing
a house in London. Mr. Sullivan is a jolly
Irishman, who kept the smoking-room
steward busy supplying drinks to his
friends, who were yery numerous. He
had with him as his guest a Roman Catho
lic priest, and they left us at Queenstown,
much to our regret.
One never crosses the Atlantic without
the company of several Roman Catholic
priests. They aro visiting their old homes
in Ireland, and many of them go on to
Louvaln, in Belgium, and to Rome. They
are very pleasant company. We had six
of them on the New England. One of j
thom. Father O'Connor, of Oelweln, near
Dubuque, la., and I became ,very good
friends. Father O'Connor, graduated In
Dublin 12 years ago, and was sent at once
to this agriculturalparlsh in Iowa, where
he has done much good work. He told
me, with a happy smile, that ho intended.
to surprise his old mother on the little!
farm in the south of Ireland. She had
been carrying water into the house from
the stream which flowed through the
farm, and many a weary trip she had
made with her pall for the last GO years.
Father O'Connor, this year, when he Is
home, Is to measure the distance between
the stream and the house and to give
orders for a pipe to be laid to the house
so that his old mother, for the first time
in her life, will be able to wash the pota
toes in her own cabin without carrying
water from the littld river.
One of our passengers was a Colonel
of the, .British Army. He had been in
South Africa In the Boer War, but was
selected as one of the remount staff, and
had been stationed at New Orleans and
Denver' purchasing horses. He told me
that he 4)ad bought 180,000 horses, and
was now glad to get home. I asked him
about the horses bought In Oregon aad
Washington, and was glad to hear that
some of the best horses came from these
states. The Colonel Is to spend the months
of August and September shooting in the
Scottish highlands. He expressed the opin
ion In the course of our talks, as we paced
the deck together, that the Briton and the
Boer would assimilate readily, and that
a happy and prosperous people will soon
be found in South Africa.
On boards ship we had religious services
on Sunday In the first cabin, the doctor
of the ship reading the lessons from the
Engish church prayer-book. The Roman
Catholic priests had a service in the steer
age, and in the afternoon there was a
service in the second cabin in Norwegian.
I attended this last service, and was much
impressed with the sincerity of the wor
shippers, of whom there were about 150.
There was no lack of Norwegian ralnis
ters (or Swedish, I am not sure which),
there being four who took part, all dressed
in their clerical black clothea The sing
ing of the hymns was done with a zeal
far above that of the first-cabin passen
gers, and I noticed that they were mostly

PHILHARMONY ORCHESTRA
in the minor key. I did not understand
a word of It, but I could see by the faces
of the people that they were enjoying
the service very' much.
We -had the Usual concert two days be-1
fore landing in Liverpool. The programme
wasAmade up of songs, etc, volunteered
by some of the passengers, and the money
raised by sale of the printed programmes
(25 cents -each) and by voluntary offerings,
was distributed between the Liverpool
Sailors'' Orphanage and the" Boston Float
ing Hospital. We raised $150 In this way.
ForVSamusement there are shuffleboard
and spoon and -potato races on deck, and
we had a ping-pong tournament, which
lasted two .days. Tb last affair was a
great success. The ship was as steady as
your own billiard-room, and the .playing
was 'of a high order. About 10 couples
entered, and It was a case of the survival
of the .fittest. A Mra Taylor proved to
be the champion, and she was presented,
amid tb applause of the passengers, with
a cup, which was brought Into the dlnlng
rbom on a tray the cup being covered
with a "white linen napkin. The chairman i
of the committee, in his speech, alluded
to the ' hard won fight and the cham-
plpn's prowess and so forth, and had
much pleasure in presenting the cup, etc,
eta, which had been obtained at great
expense. When the cover was removed
there was revealed a. tin cup, worth about
5 cents, which was accepted most grac
iously by the winner. And so time is not
allowed to hang heavily, and the voyage Is"
soon over, and upon reaching Liverpool
the passengers -all scatter to the four
winds bf heaven.
Southport, where I am now on a visit
to friends. Is one of the newest towns in
England, being about 100 years old. It Is
18 miles south -ol Liverpool, and 40 miles
from Manchester, .and is an illustration of
what can be done in the way of making
a beautiful city out of potr material. One
hundred and ten years ago "there was one
hSuse built on the sand hills which extend
for miles, and it was known as "The
Duke's Folly." The town is now a fash
ionable seaside report and has about 70,000
Inhabitants. It is the residence of many
wealthy Liverpool and Manchester mer
chants, and because of its fine climate,
many delicate people of wealth have chos
en Southport as their home town.
When the tide Is out the promenade,
which is two or three miles long, is about
two miles from the sea. The municipality
has formed artificial lakes for boating, and
has also made beautiful .gardens, which
are kept with great care. The principal
street (Lord street) is bordered on both
sides with trees. It is more than a mile
lon, and Is on a straight line, and the
vlcwi down the street is very pretty. There
are many handsome buildings, and the res
idences are many of them very artistic
The gardens and lawns are a wonder to
behold when it has to be considered that
the soil had all to be brought from a
distance. ' ,
In view of the discussion in Portland re
cently about the trees on the sidewalks
I was interested to notice how the people
here take care of the trees. There are
not only trees on the borders of the side
walks, but ' in the middle of the walk
there Ms tree now and again, and the
cement is not laid up to the trunk of the
tree, but only to an Iron grating about
three feet square, which Is laid around
the tree on the-sidewalk.
Southport Is the cleanest town I have
seen in England the streets and sidewalks
are covered with a cement made of crushed
rock and coal-tar laid on a foundation
of broken rocks, "and it is said to be a
very lasting roadway. I asked about the
taxation, and am informed that the mu
nicipal rates are nearly all payable by
the tenant, and are based on the rent
of his property. The present rate of tax-
ation is 4s 2d per 1, or about 20 cents
on the dollar that is, if the rent Is $200
a year, tne tenant has to pay in addition
$40 a year for city rates and taxes. This
Includes an assessment for the support
of the poor 5 cents on the dollar which
goes to the local guardian.
I have just returned from a visit to
Chester, which was at one time a Roman
camp. The ancient city walls are today
very complete. The cathedral is of the
Norman period of architecture. I have
also been to Eaton Hall, the family seat
of the Duke of Westminster, surrounded
by its 30,000 acres. The Duke of West
minster is the wealthiest Peer in Eng
land, but of all this I shall have to write
again, as I have already gone beyond my
limit. '3- L.
KURHAUS. Schevenlngen, Holland,
June 18. The Kurhaus concerts
have begun in full force. The Phll
harjnony Orchestra, of Berlin, consisting
o S00- pieces, with friendly, genial old i
Reblcek, the friend of all musical stu
dents, and Anton WItek, first concert mas
ter, arrived hero June 1. Two thousand of
the fisher cottages waited expectantly for
their Summer guests, but only SO of the
fisher families were made happy. Later
on, the many violin pupils of Wltek en
gaged rooms in other cottages, and Just
now the town is so full of visitors that
the signs, in the windows of he different
front parlors, "Gemeublieerde Kamers Te
Huur"y (furnished rooms to let), are grad
ually dlasppearing, one by one.
A contract has Just been signed, and the
Phllharmony Orchestra is engaged to play
for the next 10 years, during the Summer
of four months, at the Kurhaus in Scher
cningen, that most fashionable of Euro
pean seasIdeTesorts, situated on the North
Sea. Concerts are given twice dally,
under the- direction of Josef Reblcek. The
first cpneert begins at 3 and lasts till 4:30,
the second et 7:30 and lasts till 10 in the
evening. During pleasant 'weather the
concerts take place on the terrace, which
scats 000 guests, and overlooks the prom
enade and beach. The effect is for the
eye, as well as the ear; the fashionably
dressed men and women, of all nations,
sonfe waking, some sitting at tables en
joying Ices or drinks, and the strains of
the orchestra mingling with the sounds
of the dashing of the waves on. the shore
below. Itis no wonder that in July and
August every hotel and every fisher cot
tage is occupied with guests, and that
each year an increase of hotels and houses
are built to accommodate the Increase
of newcomers.
Each Wednesday evening celebrated
artists are engaged to play with the
orchestra, and each Friday evening Is
the grand symphonie concert in the
Kursaal. Every Saturday evening after
the concert is the grand ball. A most
cosmopolitan assembly, and here It Is
Interesting to -watch the women of all
nationalities vie with each other In their
splendid gowns, laces and diamonds. But
among1 them all, the Americans need
never to be ashamed of their well-gowned
women abroad, for In Scherenlngen, as
well as in the other European watering
places, the American woman carries off
the palm in regard to taste, beauty and
fashion. On Sunday evenings a double I of Mendelssohn's oratorio, "Elijah," by
concert is given, one on the terrace and Mr. tW. H. Boyers chorus of 60 voices
cert of the season, and the programme
was:
Overture to "Manfred" R. Schumann
Sympbonle (D-molL). op. 44 R. Volkmann

Concerto A minor for 'cello C. Saint-'Saena
Performed by Joseph Malldne.
Overture to "Egmont" L. v. Beethoven
Herr Malklne is the new cellist, who
substitutes in the place of Anton Hekkinjr.
His technique Is marvelous and he was
recalled several times. Wltek will be
the soloist at next Friday's symphony
concert, and he will play the Beethoven
violin concert. '
Eduard ' Zeldenrust, the vcelebrated
Dutch pianist, is again here, but he leaves
"next week to fill an engagement In Lon
don, and will spend August again at the
seashore. Zeldenrust has beeji engaged
by Wolfson for another tour of America
and arrives next December In New York. J
lie declares America 10 De uie oniy
country," and ie hopes to marry an
American girl, only.
Henrf Wlenlawski, the great violinist,
was often inylted to dinner and afterwards
asked to render a few selections on his
violin. He soon grew tired of being asked
only, to entertain the guests with music,
so ho accordingly sent a refusal to a.
dinner: "Most Honorable Sir: It is im
possible for me to attend your banquet
this evening, but I send my violin."

velt's picture p for the Hollanders are
proud of the fact that the President of
the United States is descended from an
old Dutch family.
The admittance to each concert at the
Kurhaus is one gulden equal to 42 cents
of our money. One may buy a season
ticket, which admits one to any and every
concert -from June 1 till the beginning
of October, for 22 gulden, about $10.
Last night was the second symphony con-
and the occasion will be a musical treat
of a high order. The soloists will be: Mrs.
May Dearborn Schwab, soprano; Miss
Hurley, contralto; Harry W. Hogue,
fenor; and Professor Glen, of Eugene
University, bass. Mrs. Thomas will be
the accompanist. Mr. Boyer"s chorus re
cently sang "Elijah" at Taylor-Street
Methodist Episcopal Church, and the
singing was admirable One of the most
Impressive features .was the unaccom
panied singing, of two chorales, marked
with devotional spirit and fine religious

revelation, and it was a pleasure to hear

SERMONETTE ON THE "GREEN-EYED MONSTER'
BY HARRIET PRESCOTT SPOFFORD '
NOW and then one turns from the
wilderness of new books recollec
tion of which seems like passing
through those dead forests one sometimes
meets In mountain travel, all of one gray
sameness to some of the, old books out of
fashion for no reason. If. among these
old books, one takes up that marvel of
artistry. "Bleak House," one comes In cer
tain chapters upon a presentation of one
of the greatest shadows of 'married life
depicted faithfully as the sun himself
paints. It Is where Mra. Snagsby her
head in a perfect beehive of curl papers
and nightcap makes nocturnal examina
tion of Mr. Snagsby's pockets, secret per
usals of his letters, private researches In
to, his books and ledgers; and by day,
swift and dark and silent and wretched,
watches at-windows, listens behind doors
and gets her mind into a wide mist where
no one could see the way to anywhere in
a '"general putting of this" and that to
gether by the" wrong end." And Mrs.
Snagsby stands for every jealous wife the
world over though she be little and
Ignorant and ill-bred and obscure In cot
tage or In palace, who makes her hus
band miserable by her suspicions and con
tributes to the breaking of her own heart
by searching for what she does not wish
to find.
t Once "let thfs evil-eyed power get pos
session of the mind, and every fact of life
and of the universe twists Itself round to
its. support, all the same as if one were
possessed by a madness. For it is a
madness before which one Is helplese, and
from which, one longs to be delivered as
one longs to wake from a half-conscious
nightmare.
To doubt the man who sore faith
fulness to you alone of all women, and
whom you have honored .as you have
Idolized, to doubt the woman who has
seemed a creature of white Innocence It
puts the world out of joint and all the
rest of creation In as false a light. The
earth re'olves on a new axis, the heav
ens have another pole, and the light has
gone out of them; there Is left only the
lurid green light that transforms all
things Into unseemliness with Its evil
glow.
How much better would It be at the
first suggestion of doubt to face It and
defy it, to declare to one's self, "The
man I Jove is too noble for , this," or
"The woman I love is. too spotless to
bo sullied with such thought," to trust,
to refuse entrance to the base suspi
cion, and to go one's way contentedly.
Even If there Is doubt, one la not going
to be any happier for making sure. One
wauia do wretcnea it one inuno ui u
crlmlnatlng letter in his pocket, in her
desk then why search? Why not take
the goods the gods provide and not Insult
happiness by a question?
But if there come incidents that, all
beyond your own agency, turn doubt into
assurance, the fact Is not annihilated by
outbursts, by accusation, by gloom or by
moroseness. Remember the person of
whom Mlchelet speaks, who, when he saw
his wife too strongly attracted by a dark
eyed young Gascon; took her on a trip
to Gascony, where that especial dark
eyed young Gascon was lost Jn themultl
tude of dark-eyed young Gascons there.
Remember, in one of Bulwer"s stories,
the man who, when hla wife was pleased
with a branch of rare flowers sent her
by an intruder, simply and smilingly filled
her whole balcony with banks of them.
The time of suspicion is the time for
the husband not to be sullen and watch
ful, not to be stormy and Imperious, but
to redouble his attentions, and by hfs de
votion to -Obscure the thought of the
xemporary and casual intrusion on his
province; it is the time for tho wTo
to make herself more lovely, more sun
ny, and sweet-ftmpered, more rich and
gay on occasion, to point the contrast
between Innocence and guilt, to exert
her every charm, and eclipse tho rush
light by the steady shining of the heart h.
flre.
And in the meantime a womn should
reflect thaj, in marrying her, a man
does no; shut his eyes on tne ret of
the world, and that although he has
chosen her for time and eternity, yet
not being blind or Insensible, he mutt
see thnt other women are nut without
attraction;- and it should be enough
'ir rr thit he has chosen her for time
and eternity; and a man Phojuld Fay to
himself that it haa been his fortuno to
be cxVjted by his wife's chol:e above
all others, but he does not compass in
himself the whole of knowledg6 or
power, and he did not marry bar 'o dis
trust her or shut her. uo In a harem,
or to coudemn her to life on a desert
Island. And if they meet the accidents
and events of life In this spirit nf con
fidence and proud and trustful otTertlon,
It is tolerably sure that neither will afford
the green-eye'dT monster anylwspltality.

going on the ice and salt need to bo but
a trifle higher than contents of freezer.
Never pour off water unless there is dan
ger of penetrating, for this salty water
does the quick work (three to five min
utes.) When the mixture Is frozen it
should, if possible, be packed, to "ripen"
for two or three hours, as this process ac
tually improves its flavor. The water Is
now to be poured off and the proportions,
of the measure changed to one of salt
and four of Ice.
Never fill the freezer Interior more than

tered writing paper, buttered side out. Is
fitted over the contents; then even immer
sion would not matter. Wltn theae sjm
ple but Important hints In mind the fol
lowing delicious desserts may be produced
by. a novice.
Velvet Apricot Cream.
Between seasons it Is a comfort to know
that a can of apricots costing about IS
cents will, witlrout a drop of milk or cream
added, produce a frozen delicacy, rich in
color, creamy and fruity to the taste.
So transformed is this can of fruit by fol
lowing this recipe that those tasting It
might imagine a delightful blending of
many fruits. Wash the apricots through
a sieve (vegetable sieve. If possible), add
juice and a pint of water, sweeten to
taste. When turned out this Is a deep
cream color, and Is soft and wonderfully
rich. This is sometimes served with
whipped cream, but it is really superflu
ous. Ivory Cream
Is another inexpensive surprise that would
deceive even the family epicure, and, in
deed, is fit to "set before the king of bon
vlvants." Wash four peeled bananas
through a selve, add two peeled oranges,
with seeds and flber removed, then pulled
'Into small bits, (don't waste juice); two
tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and one of
yellow wine, two-thirds cup of sugar.
Melt a full tablespoontul of granulated
gelatine in quarter cup of boiling water,
mix all together, then fold in a pint of
whipped cream. Instead of wine, use
water in which has been simmered enough
of the carefully grated skin of a deep
yellow orange; this gives color and a dis
tinct orange flavor. Pineapple juice, if
at hand, adds frultlness. This may be
frozen in small tin pall or mold.
Cafe Frapp e.
It is not generally known that to pro
duce Vie proper grains In frappe freez
ing must be done with salt and chopped
Ice In equal parts. Make coffee clear
and as liked for breakfast coffee, both
as to milk and sweetening.
Sherbet should be of mush-like con
sistency, and when freezing It is Impor
tant to remember the rule given for
frappe. Sherbet Is really frozen punch,
with one stiffly beaten white of an egg
stirred into every quart; lemon or or
angeade may be used Instead. If gelatine
Is used a tablespoonful dissolved In quar
ter cud of water will beat ud. when lust
forming Into jelly, and will be white andn
foamy.
For Ivory Cream.
Melt a scant tablespoonful of granu
lated gelatine In a tablespoonful of cold
water, then sllr In two of boiling water;
add four tablespoonfuls of sugar and three
of yellow wine; fold into this three cups
of whipped cream and stand away to
freeze In mold. 'When cream Is whipped
it should not be frozen In freezer unless
dasher Is taken out. This is good in
taste and appearance.
To chill a mold thoroughly, in hot weath
er, before filling stand In the Ice and salt
mixture used for freezing. When cherries
are plentiful remember of what a rich
flavor and beautiful color the juice of
the cooked fruit is; eave out a little when
preserving, and seal In half pint jars to
add to summer drinks. This hint is good
for most fruits, as there is generally a
superfluity of Juice.

TEETERS Alp TOTTERS
HOW TWO LITTLE ' CHICKS AND TWO LITTLE
BOYS HAN AWAY
TEETERS and Totters are two cunning
little black and whlto chickens.
They live -with their mother, Mrs. Mufitl,
in a 4op In the back yard in -which Sam
mle and Jamie Nevrton play. Sammle and
Jam'o are trvina, and so a-c tho chickens.
That is, Sammle and Jamie have decided
that the chickens must be twins, because
thejr couldn't possibly look so much alike
otherwise.
For the first few weeks they came out
of the shell Teeters and Totters were con
tent to play and run about in the back
yard, as do Jamie and Sammle. Neither
the chickens nor the children are allowed
outside the yard without nurse or mamma.
But one day the grocery man left the
back gate open, and the chickens thought
that their' chance to see the world had
come, indeed.
So out into the alley trotted Teeters and
Totters, hurrying In the way which bad
earned their funny names for them. When
the chickens were very little hey didn't
seem able to walk straight, so the children
named . them Teeters and Totters, and
they have never been called anything else.
The children are almost sure that Mrs.
Mufftl chirps something like that when
she wants her chicken iiablcr to come
back to her side quickly. Poor Mrs.
Mufftl, you see. Is cooped up In a little
yard of her own, because she will scratch
up the flower beds If she Is allowed to go
free. And It's really very trying to her
feelings to have herhaughty children run
away when she can't run after them. You
can see how it would be yourselves If
you were In Mrs. Mufftl's place.
Well, on the day that the chickens de
cided to seo a little more of the world
than could be seen from their back yard,
they trotted off, piping and peeping hap
pily, straight down the alley. And by
and by they came to another open gate.
Now, the grass on the lavrn beyond" this
open gate wasn't one bit nicer or greener
than the grass In the pretty yard they had
Just come from, but they thought It lopked
nicer, because it wasn't the grass In their
L own yard, and they didn't run all over It
every aay. so -in tnrougn me gate ana
ovei the grass they trotted, and there,
when they were a long way from home, a
terrible thing happened.
A big dog- came rushing out of his ken
nel and chased and chased thejn!
If you don't know how dreadfully fright
ened they were, just Imagine that you are
running away from a big. fierce animal,
and that- the animal Is about as big as
the side of a house. That's the way that
great dog looked to poor, tiny, naughty,
scared little Teeters and Totters.
"Well, they ran, of course, peeping in a'
very high, shrill manner, until they came
to the open gate through which they had
Just come, and out Into the alley they
tore. And the dog followed, making a
terrific noise. It never occurred to" Teeters
and Totters that if he had wanted to
catch and eat them up he could easily
have done so; they didn't realize in the
least that he only meant to frighten them
and teach them to keep in. their grounds
In the future. So back for home they ran
in a state of wild excitement, and I don't
suppose anything or anybody will ever
look so pleasant or nice to them as did
Sammle, and Jamie, coming out of the
back .gate in search of them. And they
didn't mind being scolded at all, hardly;
they were so glad to get homo 'alive and
safe.
But nurse said a good deal about It to
Sammle and Jamie. You know, little boys
and girls who run away often get into
trouble, and there's no knowing what
might happen if they went our of back
gates and down alleys alone very much.
Besides, as nurse told them, Sammle and
Jamie couldn't say very much to Teeters
and Totters for being out of bounds with
out permission. You see, they were out
of bounds themselves when nurse found
them, and even If they were going to
lu.it up their pet chickon?, they really
ought to have asked leave.

WOMEN AS PEACEMAKERS
They Could, Believes Sir Edvrln Ar
nold, Aboli'ah "VTar for All Time.
London Telegraph.
"No word during the last week has been
more frequently upon the lips and in the
hearts of all than the sweet word
Peace,' " says Sir Edwin Arnold. "To
women especially Its mere sound must al
ways bo dear and welcome, since It Is the
watchword of their social dominion, the
password of their power, the master wora
of their best Interests and highest desires.
And It Is a curious fact to reflect upon
that women, if they were 'so minded and
were resolute and united, could probably
make universal peace sooner and more
certainly than if all tho powers had the
millennium for their policy. Dr. Busby
said wisely and truly, when reproached
for wearing his hat before the King, that
in the schoolroom he was tho greatest
man In the realm? 'because,' he quoth, 'I
govern the boys; the boys govern their
mothers, and tho mothers govern the men
In authority.' Now and again women have
shown examples of their irresistible
strength as peacemakers. Everybody
knows that splendid picture by Rubens,
entitled 'The Rape of the Sablnes,' where
the Romana are shown carrying away by
force from the country of their enemies a
bevy of maidens destined to be the unwill
ing brides of the marauders. But Ruben3
ought to have painted tho noble incident
which resulted from that ancient deed of
violence. Thero came a day when the
proud Romans and the angry Sabines
were drawn up in battle array against
each other. At the moment of conflict,
however, the captive Sabine women, with
their babies In their arms, rushed between
the opposing ranks and rendered fighting
Impossible. 'On our side,' they said, 'are
our husbands and children: on the other
side stand our fathers and brothers. From
whatever veins it flows, the blogd you
are about to shed must be our blooU, and
whatever victory is gained, it Is only with
tears that we shall witness it.' So was
that particular war stayed. Tho Sablnes
and the Romans became one people, and
tho memorial of that triumph of woman's
political mastery is still to be seen in
tho Eternal City whe'n your vetturlno
drives,, you over Iia Sablna, across the
quarter where the Sabine people came to
dwell.
'if women were aware of their power
there Is many a war which they could and
would stop inv some way or other. As for
the methods to be employed, there Is no
need to enter upon those; It is enough
that she who rocks tho cradle rules the
world, and the proverb says with truth
that that which women wish the gods
also wish. The difference between war
and peace for them Is greater than It is
for men. One of our most famous paint
ers left behind him a pair of masterly
canvases, which put the contrast between
peaco and war in eloquent colors. By one
was depicted" the shattered gateway of a
besieged city, amid the smoking ruins of
which, together with many other signs
of fierce combat, lay the dead body of a
gallant cavalry officer, his silver helmet
shattered and his uniform laced with his
life blood, while at his side his splendid
war horse was breathing out its life from
ipantlnff and foamy nostrils. The com
panion work showed a lovely landscape
by the seashore, with children playing
among the wild flowers, a placid sea rip
pling In silver upon the yellow sands, and
the happy life of a neighboring- fishing
town going forward In the middle dis
tance, .with many a charming group of
rural people and pursuits. In the fore
ground an old piece of artillery, dismount
ed and rusty, lay half buried in the grass
and popples, while a young lamb, lying
down in front of the disused gun, was
lazily nibbling at a bunch of daisies and
buttercups which one of the children had
placed in the muzzle of the piece. What
woman is there who would not feel and,
respond to the Ideas sdggested by the
artist?"
Senator Snulabury's Contribution.
New York "World.
The recent contributions of clothing and
supplies for the relief of the destitute In
Martinique recall an Incident of some
years ago, when the Mississippi River
overflowed Its, banks, causing much dis
tress to those living along Its borders.
Nearly everybody regarded It as a duty to
turn In old garments and such articles as
could be conveniently spared.
Among the contributors was Senator
Saulsbury of Delaware. He was unusually
tall and exceedingly thin. Ho donated a
number of suits, which in time reached" a
suffering family in Southern Illinois. A
letter subsequently received by the Sen
ator from the father of the family, told
to what use the garments had been put.
"I am grateful for the clothes," wroto
the father, "and they will be of service
for many years. My son John is wearing
the coat. It drags on the floor, but does
very well under the circumstances. My
son James Is wearing the vest. It reaches
below the knees and bothers him some
when he walks, but he will outgrow thla
Imperfection- The trousers bother us
some and wo have not yet found any use
for them. If nothing better turns up,
we think next "Winter they can bo used
to hold the poker."
