WHAT THEN? When the mind is mapped as streets are— row on row; When the heart is tamed from love's un reasoning throe; When the poet's winged fancy Is an outgrown necromancy; When the rain of inspiration turns to snow; What then? When all doubts and fears alike are back ward cast; When the dream of world-wide brother hood is past; When the prophet's radiant vision Is too futile for derision; When the soul is but a formula at last; What then? When the fierce machine has conquered flesh and blood; When the labor-power is belt and wheel and rod; When the unfit nations wonder At the gold we itagger under; When the world is but an economic clod; What then? —Herbert Newton Casson, in The Outlook. t \ Chance or Fate? i A Short Sbory. | BY LEDYARD BRYCE. I IS life made up of detached frag meuts nearly or quite Independent of each other, or Is It like n dis sected picture puzzle, whose queer est concave contours have correspond ingly queer convex contours to fit them, making altogether a perfect sym metrical whole? This question lias been variously an swered by philosophers of ancient times and theologians of the present day. It is variously answered by our selves at different periods, according to the mood that governs us and the circumstances that surround us. So much byway of preface. Once there was a man from Fall River, who thought it a deep and damnable sin to travel on Sunday. To avoid committing this sin, he altered his original plan of going up to Chieou timi on the Saturday boat, and went up on Thursday Instead, so as to come down the Saguenay on Friday, trans act some necessary business at Quebec on Saturday, and spend the Sabbath, as he called it, nt the hotel, where he passed a restful, happy day in finding fault with his food, sending his steak back to be a little more cooked so many times that the little kitchen maid from Beaufort lost her opportunity to go to 3 o'clock vespers, to the discom fort of her conscience and the disap pointment of her second cousin, who had come all the way from St. Anne to escort her. In Kankakee there lived a hoy who was passionately fond of two things, mechanics and going to sea. The last was a purely theoretical taste. He had never seen the sea, and only once (on occasion of a Sunday-school excursion to Rock Island) had he seen a vessel of any kind. Our boy got a chance In a machine shop at Marquette, earned money, nud what Is better, saved It. The wliite winged vessels that skimmed over the waters of Lake Superior revived his dormant passion for adventure, and when his vacation came he took a trip through the lakes and down the St. Lawrence. He called it going to sea. But what can you expect from a West ern boy? At Quebec he met the Fall River man In the ofiiee of the hotel. It was Wednesday, and to a group of men he was describing the voyage up the Sag uenay that he meant to make the next day, in a manner as glowingly realistic as If he had made it the day before. When he paused for breath the group had melted away, the hoy alone re mained, his contemplative gray eyes fixed upon the narrator. "What is the matter with my going, too?" he said In bis artless, boyish fashion. The Fall River man would be charmed. And so the next day, "good and early," as the hoy said, they set out together for Chicoutimi, the hoy asking countless questions, the man framing elaborate answers. And each Was happy because lie was doing the thing he liked best to do. For six years a quiet little Yankee woman of Eastport, Me., had been en gaged to an officer In her Majesty's Navy whom she had met at a ball at Halifax. At the time of this story Lieutenant Crowninshleld was on leave of absence, visiting an aunt in Chica go; his little fiancee was spending the summer with an aunt at Carolina 011 tiie lower St. Lawrence. A slight mis understanding had arisen between them. The Lieutenant was piqued When they parted. If they had soon each other the next day, a kind word, a tender jinnee would have ended the trouble at once. But letters are poor things; instead of bringing these lovers together, they seemed to widen the breach, and after a time CrowniushieM realized that heroic measures must lie adopted or ho would lose his little love altogether. ' Accordingly lie smoked a pipe of cogitation, and then penned the follow ing: "Dearest Mary.—Why risk our happi ness for a trifle? Let us drop the mat ter. And to prevent its coming up again, let us be married at once, say next week at Caconna. If you write, you will find fifty reasons for delay. Bo just telegraph one word, "Come," If you want me. If I do not hear from you by Saturday, I shall leave for Van couver, where I shall apply to he ex changed into the North Pacific Squad ron. Devotedly, JACK. "Address, Hold Corvette, Chicago." "There," said he, folding the letter nnc. knocking the ashes out of his pipe, "I think that will produce the desired effect." It did. Women like a masterful man. This letter was put into Mary's hand on the landing at Caconna, Just as she was setting out with a friend for a trip up the Saguenay. She read It on the deck of the steamer. "Dear old Jack," said she, musingly, "he Is quite right. We have both been very silly. I will telegraph from Chi coutimi." And she pressed the letter to her Bps again and again. This wanton waste of tenderness was put to an end by the letter itself slipping, from her hand and falling into the water. "Never mind!" said she, resignedly, "It is written here!" at the same time putting her hand over the spot where the chief organ of circulation Is lo cated. The sun was sinking In the west as the boat swung out from the long pier nt Riviere du Loup. All the glorified tints of fanciful nature were taken as a matter of course by the little woman leaning over the rail. Why shouldn't nature put on holiday attire? Wasn't that ugly quarrel at an end and wasn't Jack coming on next week to make her his own little wife? Dear Jack! he wasn't half so much to blame as she, after all. But It had taught her a les son never, never to let another cloud come between them. Everything was perfection on that wonderful river. Wasn't Jack coming next week to put an end to that hideous misunderstanding, etc. When a worn an gets into this state of mind, the only thing to do Is to wait patiently till she gets out of It. Unfortunately for Mary this consum mation devoutly to he deprecnted was only too near at hand. The morning dawned, dull and desolate, The steamer lay at the wharf at Chicoutimi. At least the captain said It was Chicou timi. If he had said Constantinople there would have been no ocular evi dence to disprove his statement, so persistently did the landscape hide It self in the thick gray fog. Even more dismal and desolato than her surroundings was the heart of our little woman. In her transport of the night before she had paid but scanty attention to the address given In Jack's letter. It was only In the morning, .when she realized that she had com pletely forgotten It, that Its importance dawned upon her. To the hopeful sug gestions of her friend she answered stonily; "A dispatch simply addressed to his name in Chicago would never reach him. He will be gone before I can write to the Commandant No. It Is too late. I have tried to think—for hours—and —I can't." Gradually she became aware of voices near her; one clear, high-pitched, commanding attention; the other, soft and suggestive; The Fall River man and the Kankakee boy were Just be hind lier, deep in conversation. For the first time in his short life the boy was asking as many questions as he pleased, without any fear of rebuff. For the first time in a long while the man had found an applicative listener. "Have you ever seen a ship?" said the boy. "Not any kind of a craft, but a regular out and outer?" The man modestly admitted that he had seen several thousand of the very largest calibre. Here was <1 mine of knowledge too precious to be neglkcted. The hoy, who knew something of engi neering, immediately proceeded to sink a shaft. In half an hour be had ex tracted several tons of ore, In shape of information about ships, barks, harkentlnes, brigs, schooners and sloops. "How many guns docs a line of bnt tleshlp carry? What is the difference between a ship of war anil a sloop of war? What is a corvette?" The quick percussion of questions was abrupty checked. A little woman who had been sitting near them so quietly that they had not noticed her at all suddenly Jumped to her feet and stood before them, exclaiming; "Oh, thank you so much! Where Is the tele graph office?" And hardly waiting to ho told, she darted off, appeared in an Instant on the wharf, and then van ished behind the curtain of fog that screened the steep hillside. • "She got the cart before the horse," said the Fall River man. "Did you notice that she thanked me heforo I told her where the office was?" "Bet your life she did," answered the boy In his gentle, amiable way. "Is there any definite number of ships in a squadron?" And so they went on with their talk. And Mary wrote "Come" with a trembling hand on a yellow telegraph blank, addressed to Lieutenant John Crowninshleld, Hotel Corvette, Chi cago, Illinois. And the next week there was a quiet little wedding at Caconna, where 0 tall, dignified ofllcer In Her Majesty's Navy was married to a pretty little Yankee woman In a perfect flurry of . joyous excitement. —New York News. Chicago a (ireat Inland Fort. That Chicago is a great shipping cen tre almost everyone knows. Hut that it now ranks fourth among the ports . of tiie world is not so well known. The ! latest figures relating to the matter of shipping are: London. 10,529,095 tons; New York, 10.445,320; Hamburg, 14,198,817; Chi cago, 14,180,100; Antwerp, 13,573,472; Liverpool. 11,818,000. and Marseilles, 9,029,114. Chicago leads all United States ports 1 except New York in tonnage, and the • constant 'extension of lake traffic has added not only to the commerce of ■ Chicago, hut likewise very largely to the commerce of Cleveland, now a very important port of entry; Detroit, Mil * waukee, Duluth and Toledo.

Let us stand on the long Iron bridge that spans the St. Lawrence Just above Montreal, the very place to study the river as it narrows and runs swifter for its smashing plunge through yon der rapids to tlio east, the dreaded Lacliine Ilapids, whose snarling teeth Bash white in the sun. Look down into the greenish rush, and see how the waters hurl past these good stone filers, sharp-pointed up-stream against the tearing Ice! Here goes the torrent of Niagara and the Inland ocean of Su perior and Erie and Ontario, all crushed into a funnel of land by this big Island at the left that blocks the flow, and gorged by the iupour of the Ottawa a few miles back that brings down the floods of Southern Canada. As fast as a horse can gallop runs the river here, and faster and faster It goes as the long slant takes It, ten, twelve, fourteen miles iyi hour (which Is some thing for a river), until a dozen Islands strewn across tlio funnel's lower end goad the rapids to their greatest rage. Here Is where they kill. Then sud ieuly all is quiet, ami the river, spread ing to a triple width, rests, after its madness, in Montreal's placid harbor. Standing here, I think of my first experience In shooting these rapids, (It tvas on one of tlio large river boats)' and I must confess that It gave me no very thrilling sense of danger. There were two or three plunges, to be sure, at the steepest part, and a little sway ing, or lurching, but, so far as move ment goes, nothing to disturb one ac customed to the vicissitudes of, say, ordinary trolley ear navigation. How ever, when I,came to the reason of this fairly smooth descent, and saw what It means to stand at the wheel through that treacherous channel, I found my wonder growing. I thought of the lion tamer, whose skill is shown not so much by what happens while he Is in the cage as by what does not happen. A hundred ways there are of doing the wrong thing with one of these boats, and only a single way of doing the right thing. For four miles the pilot must race along a squirming, twisting, plunging thread of water, that leaps ahead like a greyhound, and changes Its crookedness somewhat l'rom day to day with wind and tide. In that tlirend alono is safety; elsewhere Is ruin and wreck. Instantly he must rend the message of a boiling eddy or the menace of a beckoning reef, and take It tlilA way'or that Instantly, for there are Uic hungry rocks on either hnnd. He must know things without seeing them; must feel the pulse of the rapids, as It were, so that when a mist clouds his view, or the shine of a low hung rajnbow dazzles him, he may still go right. It is a fact that with all the pilots in this pilot-land, and all the hardy watermen born and brought up >n the St. Lawrence, there are not ten— perhaps not six—men in Canada to-day, French or English or Indian, who would dare this peril. For all other rapids' of the route the Gallop Ilapids, the Splitrock Itaplds, the Cascades, ami the rest, there are pilots la plcuty; but not for those of Lacliine. And, to use the same simile again, I saw that the shootiug of these rapids is like tlio tam ing of a particularly fierce lion; it is a business by Itself that few meu care to undertake. So it came that I sought out one of these few, Fred Ouillette, pilot, niul son of a pilot, nil Idol in the company's eyes, a hero to the boys of Montreal, a figure to be stared at always by anx ious passengers as lie peers through the window atop the forward deck, a man whom the people point to as he pusses: "There's the fellow that took us through the rapids. That's Ouil lette." This unsought notoriety has made him shy. He does not like to talk about his work, or tell you how it feels to do this tiling. A dash of Indian blood is in lilni, with some of the silent, stole, Indian nature. Yet certain facts he vouchsafed, when I went to ills home, that help one to an understand ing of his life. lie emphasized this, for instance, as essential in a man who would face that fury of waters with many lives in his keeping; he must not bo afraid. One would say that the rapids feel where the mastery Is, whether with them or with the pilot, and woe to him If pounding heart or wavering hand be tray him. The rapids will have no mercy. And "there are pilots, it ap pears, who know the Lnchlne Itaplds, every foot of them, and could do Ouil lette's work perfectly if Ouillette were standing near, yet would fail utterly if left alone. Every danger they can overcome but the one that lies in them selves. They cannot bravo their own fear. He cited the case of a pilot's son who had worked in the Lachlne Itnpids for years, helping ids father, and learned the river as well as a man can know it. At the old man's death tills son announced that lie would take his father's place, anil shoot the rapids as tliey had always done; yet a season passed, then a second season, and al ways lie postponed beginning, and, with one excuse or another, tooks his boats through the Lacliine Canal, a safe but tame short cut, not likely to draw tourists. Killed a Wildcat In a House. At the home of Miss Ella Bassett, in Derby. Conn., -it took two able-bodied men, armed with clubs, nearly an hour to kill a wildcat which had Invaded the premises, and so exhausted wat one of the men that he fainted after the animal had been dispatched. Whlls chatting with a woman caller, Miss Bassett was surprised by the entract of the cat, which leaped in through tli# open window from the veranda. Thd intruder immediately assumed an ag' gresslvc attitnde and spit at the women so angrily they hastily retreated up stairs, where they called for help. Sanford Eldrldge, a neighbor, re sponded and entering the room started for the beast at once. With a savage snarl the animal had Just pounced upon Hiss Bassett's large pet cat and In an instant had broken its neck as it would kill a rat. This seemed to in furiate the beast, and it then sprang savagely at Eldridge. Man and cat were soon flying around the room, the animal tearing Eldridge's clothes and flesh and he striking it blow after .blow with his club. For half an hour the light went on, shifting from the sitting room to the parlor and track again, until finally Eollo Keeling, a train dispatcher, went to Eldridge's aid. The two men finally cornered the animal and ended its life. Eldridge and Keeling were badly scratched and torn 011 the face and hands, and Eld ridge required medical assistance. The cat weighed twenty-four pounds and is the first wildcat killed In the vicinity in several years. Sharks Scare a Fisherman. Thomas Kane had an unpleasant ex perience with sharks while fishing oil the estate of Banker J. Kennedy Tod of New Ydrk at Old Greenwich Point, Conn. Mr. Kane goes to New York daily for business, and, wishing to catch a mess of blackfish, he arose early and started out In a rowboat alone. He anchored among some rocks half way to the Stamford Lighthouse and had great luck. In an hour he had caught several weakflsh and blackfish. Suddenly a fog settled about him and the bell in the Stamford Light house commenced to ring. He could only see a couple of hundred feet away, but continued fishing. Soon a shark which he declares was more than eight feet in length Jumped out of the water, a few feet away, causing the water to splash in the boat. Almost the same instant another shark appeared on the water's surface, and Mr. Kane became anxious. Taking several of his fish he threw them overboard, the sharks instantly snatching them. Then pulling up bis anchor, he got his bearings from the lighthouse bell and pulled for the Sound Bench shore. The sharks fol lowed the boat, being kept at a re spectful distance by Mr. Kane, who threw them all the fish he had that they might have their hunger appeased, lie finally reached shore }n safety. Bravo Girl la a Bucket. As the result of a dare by J. C. Fen nell, purchasing agent of the Kansas City Armour packing plant. In whose office she was employed. Miss Dorothy Bnssett, a pretty girl of twenty, was hoisted in a bucket to the top of the plant's new 205-foot brick chimney. It is the tallest chimney west of New York. The young woman placed an American flng on top, snng the "Star- Spangled Banner," and named the stack "Dorothy." She wns safely low ered to the ground. Five thousand people watched the ceremony. The Gentle Art. Surely conversation deserves the epi thet gentle almost more than any other art. Is there one that is susceptible of more delicate and subtle handling, one that yields such beautiful and de sirable results? All of us could afford to take a lesson In the art from lias Makonnen of Abyssinia, who is at present in Paris. A French interview er asked him which stood the higher in his favor, France or England. "Is your respected mother still alive? May she teach you discretion!" came the answer, so bniiliug and so conclusive. To another who sought his opinion of London and Londoners, the Itas re plied. "May God have you in Hie sacred keeping!" There are great ad vantages 111 belonging to a civilization that is too ancient to be Impolite, and too wise to babble Indiscretions. It would be an Interesting experiment to arrange a meeting between the repre sentatives of two ancient races, say Abyssinln and China, and study tlieii attempts to get information from one another. From such a spectacle the diplomacy of all Europe could learn much.—Pall Mall Gazette. Unity In Murrlngn LAW*. The perplexity caused by contrary marriage laws iind customs lias caused the Continental nations to try to sim plify them on a single basis. The plenipotentiaries of Holland, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, France, Italy, Luxemburg, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland have signed at Tile Hague conventions regulating the conflicting laws in the matter of marriage, divorce, marriage settle ments and the guardianship of private minors, prepnred by the Conference of International Law held at The Hague in I'JOO. Amnio In Body. One result of recent outbreaks of ar senical poisoning has been the discov cry of arsenic in small but appreciable quantities in many unexpected places, says the Hospital. It would seem, in deed, that a certain quantity of arsenic is to be regarded as normal to the tis sues of the human body. It appears that the metal Is not generally diffused throughout the body, hut is practically concentrated in the thyroid gland. A very smnll*quantlty nlso occurs in the thymus, while traces are found In the skin, hair and nails, and also iu the hones and brain. Alcohol locomotives drawing trains on a circular railway were objects of special interest at the recent Berlin exposition. A new nitroglycerine powder has been secured by France, which will send a ritie bullet seven and one-half miles and will increase the artillery range to eighteen miles. Twenty-six miles a day would be a snail's pace for an ocean steamer, but the twenty-six miles of Pacific cable now manufactured each day are reel ing off the distance between the United States and the Philippine Islands, which this same cable will practically reduce from 8000 miles to tifteen min utes. Professor Ilomitz, the Scandinavian expert; .last year described successful experiments for combatting external cancer by a freezing process in which liquid carbonic acid was employed. He now says he believes that In all cases not absolutely desperate there may be obtained by this freezing process at the least a temporary stop page of the local processes while the general health is improved. The success that has attended the pine-needle oil Industry in the Thurln gen Mountains of Germany, suggests that it may be profitably started in the lands of our West and South. This oil finds a ready market all over the world, being used for pharmaceutical purposes, for medicating baths, etc., while the dried fibres, perfumed with a little of tlie concentrated oil, are used for stuffing mattresses and pillows. Dr. C. K. Wead lias investigated vari ous forms of four-holed musical instru ments found in museums that give a pentatonic scale. Various flutes and fretted instruments also showed an equal linear division. His conclusion is that the primary principle of instru ments capable of giving a scale Is the repetition of elements similar to the eye; so that the instrument was the first thing, and the scale only second ary. Theoretical scales belong to a comparatively late stage of culture. It is reported that oil of good qual ity has been discovered in the south eastern district of South Australia. The spring is in the town of Meningie, on the eastern shore of Lake Albert. The presence of oil in this vicinity has been known for years, but it has not heretofore been regarded of suf ficient quality or quantity to work with profit. This country receives great quantities of oil from the United States, and if this discovery should de velop into an industry of any import ance it will seriously affect American shipments. Pacific Cable In Time of War. Of , nil the conditions prescribed liy the Government to the Pacific Cable Company, the very last about which one would think there should be any controversy Is that authorizing the United States to control the cable line in time of war. It is no more than a formal authorization of a power which already exists, and would be exercised without hesitation if need arose. The Government would seize and use the cable If war required it, and the courts would just as certainly give proper compensation afterward to the owners. For that matter there is no property in the country which would more urg ently need Federal protection in case of war than that of a cable company, nnd none which could better afford, without one dollar of recompense, to place itself unreservedly under the wing of the National authority.—Seat tle (Wash.) Post Intelligencer. Children nnd the Sea Coant* Children particularly are prone to be more benefited by a prolonged stay somewhere along the sea const in the summer than by any other set of condi tions. They are tempted to play in the sand near the water for most of the day; much of their clothing is removed, their skin is exposed to the sea air and free sunlight. The air contains the iodine and bromine that is so thorough ly tonic for growing children. Delicate children In particular are apt to thrive under these conditions. While moun tain air may be praised for its salubri ty, the conditions near the coast are much more prone to tempt children back to that closeness to nature which is sure to be of decided benefit to them. —Philadelphia Itecord. Safest HulKling in History, There was one famous building of antiquity, it is said in an article on Lightning, in Leslie's Monthly, which, according to the records, was never once damaged by lightning during its thousand years of existence, although placed high on a hill above a city in a mountain regions where thunderstorms are very frequent It was the Temple of Solomon at Jerusalem. The temple was overlaid within and without with plates of gold. Now gold is one of the best of electric conductors, and in this way the whole building was protected with u perfection and thoroughness that has never been attempted before or since. Rlrds That Sine In Flight. It is commonly supposed that the skylark Is the only bird that sings as It flies. There are others, it •eerns.

Aeration of milk not only extends the time during which it remains sweet, but eliminates the animal odors and frequently the odors produced by feed- Ing stock upon dandelion, silage ami* the like. Covering milk cans with moistened cloths keeps the temperature several degrees lower than failure to do this. Feeding Hogg Indoors. In order to determine the value of indoor and outside feeding the Ontario agricultural college fed hogs of several breeds out of doors and in a hog lot. Both those outside and in were fed twice a day what grain meal they would cat readily. This meal consist ed of two parts barley to one part mid dlings by weight. The inside hogs were fed all they would eat of green feed, tares and rape being cut and ' taken to them. The hogs on the out side were allowed to pasture on rape and tares. Besults show that the hogs, outside ate more meal and made slo er gains than those fed inside. The"* conclusion was reached that feeding hogs on pasture is very expensive. However, the time required for taking care of hogs on the outside was just about half of that required for thoso on the inside. A Good Barrel Coop. A tight barrel makes an excellent coop for chickens, as it is almost ready for use as it is. Throw a lot of dry loam Into the bottom, when turned on Its side, to make a level floor, and nail two strips at the front, as shown. Mnki a front of laths as shown in the cut and place against the strips. A nail at either side will hold it in place. Dur ing the day let the slatted part be at the bottom, so the chicks can run ID and out. At night simply turn the front around in its place, so that the more solid part may come at the bot torn to keep out prowling enemies and to keep the chicks in.—New England Homestead. Hay fn Round Bales. The cylindrical bale has become popular for hay and cotton, and many shippers are discarding their old presses to get one that will press it in this form. The diameter bale is eigh teen inches in diameter and thirty-six inches long. The pressure used in packing for home use puts about 20C pounds in such a bale, but when in tended for export they use higher pressure and get in about 275 pounds. A bale put up for army use Is but hall as long, or eighteen inches, and weighs about 140 pounds. It is calculated that a good pack horse or mule will travel with one of these on each side, and they can go where the army wagons could not. Thousands of tons of these round bales have been shipped to our nrmy in the Philippines, and a large amount to the British Army in South Africa. In this form a given weight of hay Is compressed into about one half the space that it occupied in square bale, and the fact that it does % not pack as closely in car or vessel, there being spaces between the bales, which prevents moulding, preserves the sweetness of the hay, and the close pressure in the bale reduces the com bustibility. For cotton many of the same advantages are claimed for the round bale, that is, getting more in small space and reducing danger from fire.—The Cultivator. Killing: VI oodcluirkn. Clarence M. Weed, of the Now Hampshire Experimental Station, re ports great success in killing wood chucks by the use of bisulphide of car bon. He took a handle bnsket and filled it with dirt, a little cotton in his pocket and a shovel, with his can of carbon bisulphide. Taking a little cot ton that he could hold between his thumb and finger he saturated it w'.tti the carbon, and pushed it into the hole . as far as he could. Then he put in basket of earth and filled the hole level full. If there was more than one en trance to the hole ho stopped one lie fore putting the carbon into the other As a result out o ftweuty-five burrow that be treated only two or three were dug open again, and they apparently from the outside. Where the wood chuck was at home inside he was evi dently dead and buried. Of course any one who uses this method does not want to Inhale much of the bisulphide and should not smoke or light any matches while handling it. Probably this Is the quickest and most effective way to rid a field of this pest, which Is destructive to peas, beans, clover and mnny other crops, but we have known those who would prefer to take them in traps, skin them and eat them. As W they are as dainty feeders as the rah- ™ bit there is no reason why they should not be good food, and those who are troubled by them may take their choici of the two methods of disposing o them.
