As your steamer approaches the rouA 3 stead of Cowes j , u Oligbt WPI! suppos , 3 the ..ttie town to be a fashionable hatn _ let far rnland on the bank of a river The esplanade looks as near to tht f water as a towoath, and the greet woods that rise behind the whitt : bouses are as thickly bunched and a» ( brightly verdant «\s the unsalted tiee< of Pungbourue. The coarse beamed nark sailed, smack of the sea fishermar ? is a rare sight on those social waters , -Et erj where you behold among hover ing gulls and rocking buoys the crafi k of pleasure and the shipping of de c light. White yachts, with sails at white as summer clouds, ride there With the grace of swans, and whit' i trearn yachts, with brasswork flash ing blindly in the sun, rest royally a’ am hor oft that little shore. N- thing ever gets dirty at Cowes ■ The tamarisk which lifts its tine feath ers above walls at the sea's edge is at dean as the sails of the yachts. Tin * road- of red gravel make neither mu'* I nor dust and lie as smoothly as gar den paths. The Virginia creepers , which swarm up the pillars of whithouses. overspread th- tiers of ba •on.-s and almost cover the dark rei completely and geuiaily at the' com man-1 < f the wealthy. Th,- L:-,teller anc the greengrocer announce to the pass erby that French and. German an spoken in their establishments. Th* yacht of the most necessitous million aire can obtain in those narrow, clean streets all that she d< -.ires. Royal warrants, as big almost as the shops them selves, gleam over sb- p fronts, and ar tistlc sigubor.rds obtrude from till smart little doorways. The shine oi the swe-'t.windows is a magic induce aietit to buy. On tiie esplanade, where is a tall 'white flagstaff at every few paces, and s-aitlng at the little granite stair' washed, bj green waters, you 'meet n< burly and rough clad fishermen, but only the white capped, blue jerseyed bands from the crews of yachts In the roadstead. Fresh faced, well groomed girls walk there with indulgent papas, and jolly schoolboys in flannels, carrying paper bags of green gooseberries and red cherries, stroll down to th* dingey at the stairs, munching as they go. There is no haste and no exertior at Cowes. At half past 12 on .n lovely morning 1 heard in my hotel the voice of the manageress g.ving an order te one of the maids. ‘'ller ladyship says.” ■he cried, “that she must half a hlj oath in her room immediately, or else she won't be down for luncheon.” Foolish and lazy little ladyship It tie abed on such a good morning in sc fair a place as this diamond of the seal For it is not only the esplanade, the bright shops and the pleasure of a saunter to Egypt point which are within the reach of the visitor tn Cowes. The whole V.’igbt is within a drive of the Medina. You must go to Newport, and, paying the tax which was demanded of me. not requested, for entering the church, you may se« the jorely memorial which Queen Vie to’fa set th r re to the poor little Prin cess Elizabeth, who died of a broken heart beside an open Bible for love of Charles I You may also go to Carisbrooke and enter the splendid castle where that poor little princess died and where b n r unhappy father wa imprisoned.

WINTER BIRO NEIGHBORS. Many oi These Sluca Traveled Little Fellows Ale surpri«inxly Tame. winter, leaving us again at the begiui ■, m ■"■■’ ii . . snow banked hillsides, where the long day and pale twilight nights of the arctic- reign. Birds tiiat raise their broods in the far, treeless uorthland. where heuther, grasses and stunted alders grow on a shallow, soaking soil underlaid by a great depth of eternal ice. at the approach of winter gather into great roving flocks 1o surge southward to the gentler climate of our biizzardy “temperate” winters! Many of these much traveled little fellows are wonderfully tame and seen not to experience fear of man sc universal with animals that rear their young in his neighborhood. I'ine grosbeaks and crossbills, whose real homes are in the silent, moss filled spruce forests of the great north, will almost al low themselves to be caught in your hand. With the field roving birds, like the snow buntings, horned larks and longspurs, this fearlessness is not found, probably from the constant lookout they are forced to keep against the cunning and hungry white foxes and the daring, trap jawed little ermine that persistently hunt them in their northland home. But the rosy little red polls, the creepers kinglets, “little friend chickadee,” as the northern Indians call him. and all the other deep forest dwellers are as unafraid of ns as they are of the gentle porcupines and deer of their home woods.—St. Nicholas. A REMARKABLE ESCAPE. Odd Incident of the Reign of Terror in ly-.ris. During the reign of terror in I’aris one of the most remarkable escapewas that of M. de Chat.-tul-run. lie I were . .. s',.:: i: ; in fr- nt of the m.i an! t! • people kept pre-sing forward I to see the man arranging the guillotine By degrees M. de (hateaubruu, wbv was to the rear of his c -mpanior.s found himself in the front line of the spectators, then in the second, an-’ finally well behind those who bad come to see bis head cut off. Before the men could get the guillotine ia working or der night began to fall, and M. d( Chateanbrun slipped away. When iL the Champs Elysees lie told a niaithat a wag had tied bis hands ami robbed him of bis hat, and this simple individual set him free. A few days later M. de Chateanbrun escaped from France. “Honest Abe.” It Is a significant fact that in a community where crime was virtually unknown, where plain, straightforward dealing was assumed as a matter of course, and credit was fearlessly asked and given, Lincoln won an enviable reputation for integrity and honor. In a moral atmosphere of this sort ordinary veracity and fairness attracted no particular attention. Honesty was not merely the best policy; it was the rule of life, and people were expected to be upright and just with one another, but when a clerk in a country store walked miles to deliver a few ounces of tea innocently withheld from a customer by an error in the scales, and when he made a long, hard trip in order to return a few cents accidentally overpaid him, he was talked about, and the fact is that "Honest Abe” was a tribute, not a nickname.—Frederick 3 revor Hill in Century.

Prices For Buttrrflleic Butterfly collectors are seldom able to estimate with any cinfidence the value of their collections, since the prices for specimens so constantly vary. A case in point is that of the blue butterfly of Brazil, specimens of which were originally sold for from SSO to $75. Afterward some collectors who supplied the l.ondbn market ran into t perfect swarm of these butterflies and shipped to England such quantities that better specimens than the original Insects sold for $1 each. It not infrequently happens that two or three specimens of a certain family are discovered by collectors, who. encouraged by the high prices received for their finds, are tempted to prosecute their search for this particular variety without result for several years. Suddenly they or some other collector finds the Insects grown plentiful, and the cherished varieties of the cabinet become among the commonest specimens.—Chi*airo l oKt AWealth of Health Awaits the afflicted who visit the world famous spas— French Lick West Baden Springs WHERE THE iIEALTiI COMES fROM i'hree widely varying springs at emedi.' --I medicinal valr. -s worh' SCOMaCH, LIVER.
