phenomenon was witnessed 10 Cas-

miles on Saturday night, A general
depression was felt all over the dis•

thunder and a tremendous rainfall,
which continued until about 7

apparent, and at 7:80 the towu of

FLIRTATIONS AT SEA.
Courtesy to fellow•passengers at
sea is imporetivo. Nevertheless it
is most unwise to form intimacies
with ship acquaintonces.• Adven-
turers of both sexes abound 00 the
ocean vessels, and unfortunate in
decd have been some of the compli-
cations I' have known to arise from
an indiscreet disclosure of family
affairs to these persona. Reepoot-
ing the flirtations which are so
prevalent on shipboard, I wish 1
could "meet the eye" of every do•
Dent girl who is about to traverse
the ocean, and warn her, as she val-
ues her good carne, tobewareof the
many fascinating male foreigners
whom business or pleasure calls on
chipboard and who are ever wont to
beguile the tedium of the trip by in-
dulging in any amount permitted of
flirtation, intrigue, or whatever you
choose to dall it, with any nice•lnok•
ing woman who will lend herself to
their wiles. I recently made the
trip on a vessel with a very 'respect-
able family from one of our large
western cities, an invalid mother, a
groan daughter and some email
okildreu. A very handsome young
British officer, going out to join hie
regiment in Canada, was among the
passengers, and the girl's infatua-
tion for him was so marked as to be
at first ludioarous, Hien offensive to
all the rest of the paseengere ou the
vessel. With difficulty she was
prevented from accepting his lnvit•
ation to join him in his proposed
trip to Niagara Falls. The purser,
of the ship, as honest a soul as ever
lived, took the matter in his own
hauls, and never lost sight of the
girl until he had. put her on board
the far west train and soou her start
home with her mother and small
sisters and brothers.
