i "The boatie rows." How John Ewen'* < hnrll«h SpltefulnMi W»» A song which Burns classed as being nearly equal to "There's Nae buck" is I "The Boatie Hows" of John Ewen: “() weel may the boatie row, And better may she si>eed! And weel may the bonftle row That wins the bairntes' bread!" The entire song, as our national p<wt puts it. is a charming display of womanly affections mingled with the concerns and occupations of dally life, says the Scottish Review. Unfortunately, a somewhat curious commentary on its prevailing sentiment is afforded by certain actions of the author himself. John Ewen was’a. s< If-made man and evl I dently had a opinion of his maker. He was a native_t>f Montrose, where he was born on Oct. 21. 1741. Il is said that his father was a tinker, ami 'John himself .certainly began life as a packman, for Bannerman, in his "Aberdeen Worthies," states that many citizens remembered him "going about the country selling luiekl -s. sleeve buttons penknives, etc." By the year 17iW. the worthy packman , had got together a little money, wen | to Aberdeen an ! started business as a ■ hardware merchant, bettered himself ' considerably- by marriage, ami died in IS2I, possessed of something like lii.oo'l pounds. The obituary writer in the Scots Magazine commends him for “his exertions in favor of charitable institu i tions,” and tells us that "every Individ ' ual case of distress that came under his notice received zealotis.and unremitting attention. " And yet this waX the man who willed liis fortune p-asn an i only child, a daughter, because she had j not married exactly as he desired! The I ■magistrates and clergy were to .get I everything for the founding of a hos- I pital and the education and maißjen- ! a nee of poor boy s. Tl .e bequest was. ol 1 course, challenged by the daughter,.jtnd after protracted litigation, in the course of which Ewen appeared in anything but an enviable light, it was finally set aside by the house of lords on the clear legal ground that the deed was void in consequence qf its uncertainty and want of precision, both as to the sum to be accumulated by the trustees before they were to begin building the hospital, and as to the number of boys to be educated in il when it had been built. Thus was John Ewen's churlish spitefulness defeated. AUSTRIA - HUNGARY PREMIER. Connt Golnrhowtttl I* i» P»rl»lan—Franc* and Auairla Alwaya Amicable. It is from Vienna now that sensational news comes. Day before yesterday Count Kalnoky resigned; yesterday Count Goluchowski was appointed his successor, says the Figaro. Everything was supposed to have been arranged between Vienna and Buda-Pesth but the crisis was only more acute and a newspaper article was enough to make it irremediable. Count Kalnoky resigned unexpectedly: his successor was chosen to the astonishment of everybody. Count Goluchowski adds to his professional qualities, which are admitted. the quality of being a Parisian. It was here that he made the first steps of his career. From 1873 to 1887 he lived among us. His wife is a Frenchwoman. Princess Anne Murat. Count Agenor Goluchowski is 49 years of age and a descendant of an ancient family of Galicia. Small of stature, with broad shoulders, he has a smiling face with grayish whiskers. He was much liked in Paris for the vivacity of his wit and the jollity of his temperament. There is nothing in his career to warrant the elevated situation to which he has been appointed. When he was railed to Vienna he was absent from his post at Bur-hatest. where he had been k apptiinted minister in 1887. It is said that he owes his elevation to the friendi ship and to. the recommendations of his I predecessor. His position is not.a sine- ; cure. He has not only to direct Austro- ] Hungarian .diplomacy, affairs j •of the two miinarehies, finances, war ; | and the administration of Bosnia and I Herzegovina. The constitution requires j l that the common ministry should ren- j I der an account of its acts at Vienna ' and at Buda-Pesth, before the delega- ; tions. and this always entails serious ! conflicts. At; this game one must display tact and a great deal of suppleness. When he quitted the political scene Count Kalnoky left the relations be- ; tween France and Austria in a most Satisfying condition, I- • A"/'’.; ' THE BEST SUMMER DRINK. Thin I* Not a Patent-.Meilh-bie Ad, but a Timely Suggestion, ■ “What is the best summer drink I know of?" said a well-known bartender the other day in response to.an inquiry. ■ "Well, for my part I think spring water beats anything in the world for making a person cool and comfortable and keeping him that way, but if a person is.of tlieiopinion that a little stimI ulant is absolutely necessary, why,* al* low me to heartily recommend claret jjUpch. It' is certainly a fascinating cooler if properly constructed. Take a pint of claret—the ordinary table kind will do—and phur it into. a. glass pitcher half filled with cracked ice. Put in just enough sugar to sweeten a little, and add the juice of a lemon. Then; when you serve it, top off each glass ; with a slice each of orange, pineapple, and h njon. as well as a few strawberries. Sip the nectar through a straw, and 1 11 wager a trip to Europe that you will wish your neck was a mile long when the delieiotis beverage is going down."—Exchange. Tbe,.(;ro«s <;irl.

AFRICA NEEDS RAILWAYS. Stanley Bay* So and He Aino Talka About French Do Inga. The Paris Figaro publishes an account of an Interview which its London correspondent hris hud with H. M. Stanley on the subject of African colonization. Mr. Stanley is representtM to have said In the course of the Interslew: "The future of Africa belongs to those who shall the soonest and the quickest act on the simple truth that what Is wanted Is railways to bring travelers back in three days from the western Boutlan to Algeria. The construction of such railways would not cost tnore than 30.00 francs per killo* meter, anti with some Tirailleurs as an Advance guard the Tuaregs would leave the working parties alone. When you have 1,200 miles of navigable waterway on the Niger—that Is to say, almost the entire commerce of that great river—then you will have ivory, copal, skins, gold. India .rubber, etc. There is, indeed, as great a wealth of resources in \friea as In Frlinee. as has been proved j by the results obtained since 1825 by the English In the south, where gold, diamonds and tip' rest today bring ytig--1 land in 12a.a00.0n0 francs a year. "Why." i Mr. Stanley is reported to have eoni .itiiied. "has Franei* still done nothing with the Niger, although yttu have many French explorers in its vicinity? ITte French are very good explorers, and thanks to .them, you know perfect- . ly the topography of the country. But how many years will it be before you know what there Is underneath.’ Surely l here is gobi, surelv there is coal, pet haps diamonds, bitt they have to lie; I sought for. Today the Freueh may dej spise the Soudan, but the Soudan is for ■ them the means of arriving at the Niger Basin, which is a marvelous gar- | den provided with a very luxuriant ! vegetation and tilled with charming spots wa(erfj»l bye Hintless tributaries. Vbieh will pour into the great river which is yours the immense, wealth of their banks." In conclusion Mr. Stanley is reported tii have said: "The French are still engaged in the policy of annexation. Explorers are constantly on the move, but, the time has now come to set to work. You have established a military station at Tinibuetoo. tint that is an isolated post connected with no point of the -French colony. The river is waiting for the steamboat and the country for its railway. Without them till those conquests of yours will remain barren." ANOTHER INNOVATION. Banking Introduced in Depart ment . Store* of New York. A banking department is the la st novelty In a large uptown dry go ds st< re. says New York Journal. Its objec is to be a convenience for the patrons of the establishment and residents of the neighborhood rather than to make money for the firm. It is to -all purposes a. not being chartered it eannot be dignified with this name. Deposits are made and checks drawn in just the same way as they art- at any bank, so that a customer yisiting the store can transact all her business under one roof- She can furnish her home, provision it. purchase her clothes and those for the rest of her fdmily. have her photograph taken. enjoy a delicious meal, buy flowers for her lawn, take “a nap and pay for all by a check drawn on the proprietors of the store. The convenience of this banking department does not end here, for when the liars and shutters have been put up on regular banks money is still passing in and out of the teller's window. Three o'clock goes by without notide, and the fatigued shopper suddenly realizes she has I'or- ! gotten to have a chock cashed. This she can have done .as latejiis .5 o'clock on otheb days and 9 p. m. on Saturdays. Neighboring tradespeople also ! avail themselves of this convenience. ' Letters of credit to yny part of th<‘ ! world are issued by this shopper's bank, i and foreign money is bought and sold I there, at the-currefit rate of exchange. I Passage on any of the transatlantic i 1 steamers may also be purchased there, and cabins selected in the same rdaee where steamer chairs and rugs are bought. FASHION DOLLS. They Took the Place of Plate* in Y’earg Cone By. Long before ladies' newspapers Were started, and fashion plates in their modern form were thought of, ladies derived their knowledge of the fashions from dolls dressed in the modern costumes, which .were sent from dne country to another, niori especially from Paris, which then, as now. was the leading center of the mdde. This custom of exchanging fashion dolls commenced early in the fifteenth century. and prevailed for more than one hundred years, cuts and engravitigs were substituted until toward the en<l-of the eighteenth century, when colored fashion plates and illustrated almanacs made their appearance. Great ladies used to send dolls to their friends at a instance, and as the costumes were made by professional "cutters” exactly to the right 1 shape and latest style, with due regariKto details of materials and trimmingsL the dressmakers had only to measurvjnents, of them. 1 The New York Young Man. i >n Sunday morning the west Side of Fifth avenue is thronged wit It church paraders. There one sees in all his splendor the New York young man. Somehow., notwithstamTlng all his "efforts to be English, he never quite effects it. Either his is 100 curly, hiscoat too long or his trousers overpressed. JH° looks like an advertisement for a fashionable Manchester tailot; and represents the wide difference ■between gentlemanly and a gentleman. My impression is. by the way, they will never be able to produce the bregd of American gentlemen until they manage to buy up and transplant an English public school, with all its traditions and style. At present, the gilded youths here seem to bb in the transition stage between the cowboy and the i/iasher; they talk very low between their fbeth, they call each other “old man," 'and describe, the theater last night as the "rotieriest show,” but next minute out leaps the cowboy; either In manners or t.iiit. and ine temi><Jtw‘> ‘uu/uem av...*.
