Aly papa is afpreaoher,

Ono day when pa was proaohing,
Ile said he thought 'Weis right,

To ebout;witlx all their might.
he said he was a Mothodiet,
And liked the Methodist way
Of shouting when your happy,
And when you want to pray.
I'm glad he said it,
And I listened through and through,
Por sometimes 1'hn so happy
I don't Icuow what to d,o.
And so last Sunday nnoruing
When papa said "Lots pray,"
I knelt down by nay mamma—
1 always do that way.
Bub I felt so very funny
I thought I'd like to shout,
So when mamma wasn't looking
I peeped all round 01)00,
And then I orawled quite softly
Up behind old Uncle Ben,
And put my meuth elm to his ear,
And shouted out, "Moen 1"
I thought I'd mance him halloo,
So I outdo an awful noise ;
'Cause he said that preachers' children
\Vero the very woret of boys.
The folks all got to laughing
When they saw old Uncle Ben,
IIs roaobod around to grab me,
Bat lin didn't catch me then.
I didn't stay to preaching,
For inamma took me out,
And said I wee "Quito naughty,"
'Canso I gave that little shout.
So she put me in the closet,
And kept me there all day,
I didn't think 'Was very nice,
If 'twas the Methodist way.
But I guess I learned a lesson
That would snit all little boys
When you go to a Methodist meeting,
Be sure don't make a noise.

REVIEW IN
MODERN ifl TO1lp.
The naval review in honor of Columbus,
which had been in native progress for
nearly two weeks, col iinated at New
York on Thursday of last week in a dem-
onstration more spectactular and noisy
and remarkable in many other respects
than nnythiuq of the lind recorded in
modern history. The quaintest part of
the day's proceedings was that the post
of honor at the head of the reviewed
ships was given to the apparently nusea•
lv0rt11y reproduction of the Columbus
caravels. Those pigmy boats wore
anchored opposite 11inetythird street
and formed practically the tarlaiug point
of the review.
The lino of vessels reviewed was over
three miles fu length, stretching in two
(Alumna from the foot of Secoul street to
about Ninety.fitth street, where tho re-
viewing ship, the 1)ulphiu, anchored.
Tho foreign vessels were most of them
stationed m1 the New York side of the
Hudson river ; the American fleet, wltb
the German, Dutch and Argentine
cruisers, occupied the New Jersey side,
The ships were 'weltered 300 yards apart
and a apace of 400 yards was left betweon
the two columns. Thousands of visitors
poured into the city to witness the sight.
iho day being a public holidev, business
was generally sOspend, d. Flags wore
displayed from all the shipping and from
many public and private buildings.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators
lined the water's edge on both sides of
the =jostle river, parched upon roots
and upper stories of the tall huildinge and
climbed the palisades at the slopes of the
riverside. The United Stales took full
possession of the waters of the harbor
for thio clay. A circle was tightly drawn
round the reviewing vessels and review-
ed and until the actual ceremonies were
over no unauthorized boat was allowed
to Gross the line.
Nearly every tugboat and exoursion
steamer in the harbor was engaged and
crowded with sightseers. Ab the
prec0n-
certed arrangement, ell the ships simnl-

L ueously hoisted colors and dressed
ships. The embarkation of the Presiden-
tial party on board of the reviewing boat
Dolphin was a gorgeous affair. The
President was escorted by hie naval aids
and accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland and
the members of the Cabinet with their
wives, and the membsrsofthe diplomatic
corps rsprseenting foreign governments.
As soon aa the Presidential party arrived
on board the Dolphin she tripped her
anchor and fired the gun as a signal.
This was responded to in thunderous
volleys. The crack ships of ten nations
had been pub in roadinees for their part
of the celebration. On board those ves-
sels the rain was most unwelcome. It
drenched the decks and riggings and
hung in pearly drops from the brass
work. Deese uniforms worn abandoned
for storm coats and the jack tars instead
of being ie holiday rig were in sysry,day
attire. At 10 o'olook the United States
tiliips ran up hinting 011d the British,
Russian, Italian, German and Rolland
