Out of my childhood’s memories,
Fresh with the brine of the sea.
The weird refrain
Of an old Norse strain
Comes floating back to me:
“O the night may be long and dark,
and dark,
To dark for a glimpse of the mast.
Yet sparkling and bright, the glorious
light
Will flash o’er the sea at last.”
l.ittle l recked in those sunny days
Of the nights so dark and long.
That loomed ahead
With their shadows dread.
As l blithely sang my song:
“O the night may be long and dark,
and dark,
Too dark for a glimpse of the mast.
Yet sparkling and bright, the glorious
light
Will flash o’er the sea at last.”
Full many a night has seemed
since then
As boundless as the main.
But sweet and clear
I can ever hear
The words of the old refrain:
•‘0 the night may be long and dark,
and dark,
Too dark for a glimpse of the mast,
Yet sparkling and bright, the glorious
light
Will flash o’er the sea at last."

Is 107 years old, and there Is nothing
problematical about her age, for she
lias documents in her possession !
which the parish priest lias examined j
and pronounced genuine, and which
substantiate everything she has said
of herself. She was born in Vol- (
gravitz, Poland, in 1794. Her parents 1
were of the poorest class, and as soon 1
as she was 4 years old slie was sent
Into the forests to pick up bark for !
the charcoal burners. Her maiden
mujie was Maria Pavleschinsky. When
the French invaded Volgravitz the in-
habitants fled. Mrs. Reese then a
young woman, remained behind in the ; pb'07ogmpb
town trying to save some of the 1
wretched belongings of lier family
from pillage. The French soldiers
had entered the place before she could
get out, and ouc of lier neighbors
pointed out to her a stocky little man

One of llrowii’* Young Men.
Some years ago there was a man
who was a figure in the upper social
life of New York. He was the sexton
of Grace church anil his name was
Brown. He was a sort of grand cham-
berlain to New Y'ork society of that
i day and employed in every social func-
tion from the christening of the babe
of aristocracy to the marriage of the
damsel. Dancing men then, as now,
were scarce, but Brown was equal to
the occasion. He organized a band of
presentable young fellows, who knew
how to dress, how to dance and how
to behave themselves, whom he mar-
shaled at houses where they were need-
ed. These were known as “Brown’s
Y’oung Men.” and not a few of them
danced themselves into good positions.
One of these young men was Hubert
0. Thompson, who, in later life, be-
came so prominent a politician as lead-
er of the county democracy. He used
to say that when lie was young he led
the german; when he grew old he led
the Irish.—Brooklyn Eagle.

Everywhere up the Volga and its
hundred tributaries ascend the iron
barges’'qf *Jhe • Caspian sea oil fleet,
while through the canals to St. Peters-
burg alone pass annually, during the
215 days of free navigation, thousands
of steamers and barges bearing mil-
lions of tons of freight. Every known
means of locomotion is used, fiom men
who, like oxen, tramp the tow paths,
hauling the smaller barges, to power-
ful tugs that creep along by means of
an endless chain laid in the bed of the
canals and minor rivers, dragging aftei
them at snail pace great caravans of
heavy barges. From the greater
streams immense craft nearly 400 feet
long, fifteen feet in depth, carrying
6,000 tons of freight, drift down to the
Caspian, where they are broken to
pieces to lie used as firewood on the
steamers going up stream. In all
there are 8,000 miles of navigable
waterways in the valley of the \ olga,
or, if the streams which float the giant
rafts that form so large a part of the
traffic of the rivers are included, the
mileage is increased to nearly 15,000,
or as much as that of the valley of the
Mississippi. Fifty thousand rafts are
floated down the Volga annually, many
of them 100 feet long by seven thick,

real traffic of the river, for in addition
there are 10.000,000 tons of produce
passing up and down the river during
the open season. Much of this centers
at Nljni Novgorod. To this famous
market steamers and barges come
from all parts of Russia, bringing
goods to be sold at the great annual
fair over $200,000,000 worth of mer-
chandise changing hands in a few
weeks; 30,000 craft, including rafts, are
required for this traffic; they come

of Asia.
take the
dis-
comfort. Now comes along a French-
man with a still more ingenious plan
which opens up to pharmacy unbound-
ed possibilities of going still further
ahead. On account of the difficulty of |
assimilating iron as a medicine, a
French druggist has sought to intro-
duce it ill a digestible way by what ho
terms ferruginous eggs. Hens can di-
gest iron easily, while rendering It
back through the albumen of their
eggs in a form which is easily digested
by the weaker stomachs of mankind.
A salt of iron is given to the hens
with grains of wheat. A dozen of these
medicated grains of wheat a day makes
the hens after three or four days lay
eggs which are very rich in iron al-
ready digested. The Frenchman is ex-
perimenting further with other drugs,
and It is not without the hounds of
possibility that we shall shortly bo
able to take all our medicine in the
form of eggs.
Russia generally is looked upon as a
“hard up" nation, always hovering on
the verge of bankruptcy, and the state
of her finances is pointed to as a rea-
son why she will not seek a fight with
another nation. Russia lias, however,
one great source of supply whence she
can draw gold enough to furnish all
the "sinews of war” needful for any
fight she may see fit to go into. The
"Holy Gold Fund” is one of the mys-
teries of the great northern empire.
With it, some students of Russian af-
fairs say. she can afford better to incur
the enormous expenditure of a cam-
paign than Germany, Austria or
France. It is said to be the largeat se-
cret gold deposit on earth, some esti-
mates placing the amount as high as
$4,000,000,0Q0. in comparison with this
immense sum the $30,000,000 which
Germany has stowed away against a
time of trouble in the vaults of the
eastle of Spundau stnks into insignifi-
cance. Though the czar is master of
this great war chest he, himself, prob-
ably, does not know just bow much It
contains. The fund lias been idling
up for many years and is increasing
quietly every day. When the periodi-
cal famine comeg in Central Russia it
is found that nothing has been done in
the afflicted provinces which should
have been done by a paternal govern-
ment. Roads should have been kept in
order and stores accumulated. But
that would have necessitated trenching
upon the revenues of the Holy Gold
Fund, and the war chest must have its
dues whatever happens. Various agen-
cies. public and private, are set on foot
to assist the starving motijik, but the
harm has been done. Not a single co-
peck for their relief, however, comes
out of the Holy Gold Fund.
From Churrli and Minn.
There are two sets of sources from
which the revenue of the gold fund are
derived, the civil sources and the ec-
clesiastical—gold from 1 he mines and
offerings to the church. The church
is the collector and custodian of the
fund. The czar is the head of church
and state—Caesar and pontiff at once —
as were the Roman Imperators. He
is chief of the council of state and of
the Orthodox Eastern church, so tile
empire is ruled by two conclaves work-
ing in perfect harmony with each
other. All Russian subjects theoreti-
cally arc members of what is called,
outside of Russia, the Greek church,
mageddon. Every member of the of-i
fleial class contributes weekly to tin*
church, aud this "tchin.” or offlciaLi
section, is the largest professional,
class in the country, it numbers mil-i
lions. Every Russian hungers to be-
come a “tchinovnik ” of some grade oil
other. Hut all of this vast aumben
must be of the Greek church, except!
under some privileged exceptions. lh>v
weekly offering to the church never
fails. It Is contributed by the czar, by
the nobles, by the soldiers, and by
every individual employed by the gov-
ernment in any capacity whatever. Be-1
sides this Ib to be reckoned the stream
of treasure poured in doily by ull othen
classes, including the poorest moujik
The revenues from the sale of holy;
candles alone amount to a fabulous1
sum. Tbe expenditure of the Russian,
church does not absorb half of the
amount of her revenues, and all that'
can be spared goes into the lloly Gold
Fund.
It Is estimated that half of the an-l
nual additions to the gold fund com<v
from the mines and half from the of
fering to the church. The fait that,

dian of the great war fund makes thot

The collection of this fund was be-
gun in its present form after the-
burning of Moscow by Napoleon, and
ever since it has been one of the great
alms of tile government The growth
of church wealth and the development
of mining have combined to pile up
the increment. A quarter of a century
ago the fund amounted to $250,000,000.
It is supposed now to amount to $4,-

Mrs. Hetty Green is not without a

a trifle saturnine. Recently an over-
dressed woman, while in conversation
with Mrs. Green, commented at un-
necessary length on feminine apparel.
“Oh, well," said Mrs. Hetty, "wealthy
people can afford to dress poorly, you
know. The poor and vulgar must
wear fine clothing, if only for purpos-
es of disguise.”

Senator Elkins talks Spanish like a
native. He learned the language when,
he was a young man in New Mexico,
and he has never forgotten it. Yes-
terday he was talking Spanish in the
marble room of the senate at the rate
of 200 w'ords a minute, says the Wash-
ington Post. A delegation of Porto
Ricans had come to the eapitol to pro-
test against a law recently passed by
the legislature of that colony which’
provides for the raising of revenue by |
the assessment of property. Their com- 1
plaint is that the assessment was so
high as to be ruinous, although it is
only 1 per cent, and they wanted con-’
gress to repeal the law. as it lias a
right to do under a section of the For-
akar statute. They poured out their
grievance to Senator Foraker in brok-
en English and with much gesticula-
tion. Presently one of the delegation
spoke to a fellow member in Spanish.
Senator Elkins happened to pass at
the same moment. He greeted tho
delegation with a Spanish sentence. In-
stantly joy was visible upon the faces
of the Porto Ricans. One of them
spoke to Mr. Elkins in Spanish. Mr.
Elkins answered promptly and intelli-
gibly. A moment later and he was
surrounded by the entire delegation, all
of whom were jabbering away in a loud
tone of voice and with the words pour-
ing from their lips like molten lava.
Senator Elkins jabbered back at them
in their own tongue. The conference
lasted several minutes and Us unique
character monopolized the attention of
all the visitors in the marble room.
The satisfaction of talking in their
native language waH all that the dele-
gation could secure by tlieir visit. Tho
law of which they complain is not to
