I always feel sorry for one wbo

the low =outing song of the sea.

about the Mountains and woods and
streams and waterfalls and rivers,

Sometimes the sea becomes ae,
Trathful as the wild beasts in the
orena, stung with sharp
darts, before which the attenderds
wave the red garmeitts. It rears. It
plunges. It lashes itself into fury

ITIalAN SHIP.
But„ fitter all, one of the :fittest
abeorbieg, diversions oe the, summer
tourists living by the seashore is to
watch the passing of the ships. For
over a quarter a a century ray pri-
yilege was to, spend every summer
by the Atlautic coast. My father's
couutro home was near tbe 0101 of
Long Islaud. at a email town vatted

"Itis true teeny of One time nuiSt be
givrn to cleneing up the ship. but
most, of it is spent in loading mid
unloading cargoes. The natesive
walls of a building rota upon deep
foundations. The huge lintels and
upper decks of a great steamer :mist
have a deep hull. This hull must
be filled widt ballaet, or e/se the
ship would soon topple over. This
ballast is composed of boxes filled
with merchandise or hundreds of
bags of mail, or steel from Birthing -
bent works and linens from the Irish
mills. silks front France and wines
from Italy, art treasures as wen as
expensive furniture and clothes.
Then food must be provided for
eke passengers and the crew and
-tug° cargoes of coal to keep the en-
gines in motion. One is amezed at
the thousands of tons of coal which
a ship like the Kaiser Wilhel.m 11,
carries at the beginning of its pas-
sage across the Atlantic. The great
stomachs of the furnaces seem to be
. insatiable. Their hunger is never
satisfied. Belays of dust begrimecl
stokers are shoveling the coal day
in and day out. I3ut what about
the enormous mass of food which
must be provided for the hungry
human passengers and crew? Those
who live above and below a great
ship's deck are not to be numbered
by the scores, but by the hundreds.
On the last voyage I made from
England there wore nearly 2,000 hu-
man beings aboard., Theli. there
may be millions of dollars' worth of
bullion. aboard. -The clearing houses
of the two continents are continual-
ly adjusting claims. Money front
Amorica going to Europe. Gold and
silver from Europe coming to Ameri-
ca. The average steamer plying the
Atlantic is not to be despised. Its
auccessful voyage means life to hun-
dreds.' Its destruction may mean
death alike to passengers and crew
and destruction to all the freight.
SAFEGUARDS OF THE VOYA.GE.
Does not each human craft carry a'
valuable cargo? What about the
money which is intrusted to a man's
care? If the cauhier of a Wank ab-
sconds and the bank has to close its
door who stiffen? Is it not the poor
widow and orplien, the old man. who
has trustfully placed in the bank the
savings of a lifetime so that he can
4liave something in his cad age and
money enough to buy him a casket
and a grave when he is dead? What
