The words and melody of this well- known song were written by Jean Jacques Rousseau, the celebfated French author who-was born inNge- neva, Switzerland, June 28th, 1712, the descendant of a family of Paris booksellers and Protestant refugees. His mother died when he was born, and his boyhood days were delicate and sickly. © He lived successively with am engineer, a lawyer and an en grave, «from whom he picked up a varied fund of information. After a series of romantic and miserable ad- ventures he devoted himself to the study of music, which he afterwards taught, and invented a new system of musical notation. He published sev- eral opergs and musical works, before ho tured; his attention to the writ ings*"for which he is chiefly known, and "which placed him in the front rank. of classic writers of France, and gave him the title of the "father of maderp democracy.'"" He died near Pais July 2nd, 1778. His melody has long béén in the hymn books under the title of "Greenville," that it scoms. odd to conggcts it with thi} French .love song. In Europe it is "known as "Rousseau's Dream." The words are as follows : Days of absence, sad and dreary, Clothed in sorrow"s dark array; Days of absence, I am weary She I love is far away, = When the heavy sigh be banidh'd; When this bosom cease to mourn ? Hours of bliss, too quickly vanish, When will angel-like you return. Not tili that loved voice can greet me, Which sp oft has charmed mine car, Not till thoge sweet eyes can meet me, Telling that I still am dear; Days of absence then will vanish, Joy will all my pangs repay; Soon my bosom's idol banish Gloom, but felt when she's away, All my love is turned to sadness, Absence pays the tender vow, Hopes that filled the heart with ness Memory. turns to anguish now: Love may yet return to greet me, Hope may take the place of pain; Antoinette with kisses meet me Breathing love and peace again; The Ruler Of The Queen's Navee. William Schwenk Gilbert, English dragpatist .and humorist, was born in London, November 18th, 1836, and was educated for the bar, but most of his life has been devoted to litera- ture." His name ie. generally associa- ted with that of Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan, born in London, May 13th, 1842 with. whom he collaborated in pelea long series of comic operas." Gilbert furnished the libretti and Sullivan the words of "The Mika- do," 'Pinafore,' Pirates of Pen gante'" ang many others. The son jven 'below (is. sung by Sir ry For er if "Pinafore."

The launching of the Francis boom" it is now learned by politicians, is the culmination of plans that have been maturing for several years and in which several democratic léaders of wide promin- ence are very much interested. The return of Mr. Francis from Europe last week and the giving of a ban- quet in his honor at New York was considered by the promoters of the movement as a fitting time to put out a "feeler'" and ascertain lic opinion in regard to the ndidacy of Mr. Francis. The story of the inception and growth of the Francis boom is now told for the first time. The teller is a former democratic congressman from Texas, a man who for years has stood high in the councils of his .par- tv and who is one of those chiefly concerned in' the movement which has for its object the nomination of David R. Francis for the presidency at the next democratic national con- vention. In the summer of 1901 a consider able number of old-time democratic leaders of the south and west were attracted to Colorado hy the meeting of the National Irrigation Congress, At the conclusion of the meeting these. democratic leaders lingered for several days at Colorado Springs, and as might be supposed, the recent defeat of Mr. Bryan and the probable standard-bearer of the party in 1904, were subjects of discussion. What at first was' but an informal discussion developed into a serious conference and before the meeting broke up the participants had agreed among them eclves that a conservative old line democratic was needed to lead the party to victory and furthermore that a western mar was necessary. A canvass of the - available timber lo to the conclusion that ex-Governor Francis stood the best show, The conferees dispersed with the under standing that other leaders of the party should be consulted in the matter and one of the -number--the ex-congressman from Texas before mentioned--was delegated to come east and interview the party leaders, Jefore he reached New York, how- ever, President McKinley had been as- sassinated at Bufialo and for the timé 'being the movement was allow- ed to slumber. At conferences held in Washington during the last session of congress the "movement was revived, and recent developnients in the polj: tical world have strengthened the bos lief of those who originated the boon that a democratic of the Francis stamp would be the best candidate to put up against Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Francis is described by these men as the most popular democrat in Missouri. ' He was governor four years. He was -secretary of the in- terior in the cabinet of President Cleveland, succeeding Hoke Smith. and his friends claim he is the biggest man in point of personality and ac- complishments in the whole south- west. He may have voted for Bryan in 1896, although he fought the six- teen to one movement in his state, and was beaten in the famous, Pertle Springs convention early in 1894, w ith gave the free silver movement its impetus. He supported the Bryan ticket in 1900, and 'through his ef- forts made St. Louis a democratic city. Tt is further pointed out that as president of the St. Louis fair he will be conspicuous in the public eye during the next year or more, and the influence which this position is bound té have on his candidacy is a factor 'that must be taken into con sideration. A True Tale Of The Sea. By Frank T. Bullen, F.R.G.S, Some years ago while chief mate of the barque "Day Dawn," then on a passage from Noumea, New Cale donia, to Pam in the north of that great island, I had the misfortune te experience & sunstroke. It occurred one morning about' eleven o'clock as the vessel was turning to windward inside the barrier reef almost within sight of her port. And it was the more unfortunate because at the same hour the captain succumbed to what we supposed to be a species of dengue fever. 1 lay unconscious for two days without any attention whatever ex cept an occasional attempt to give me a little water. When I came to myself, 1 felt quite un- able to swallow, except a drop or two of water at a time, al though I could breathe withoat much difficulty. Nor did I feel any desire for food whatever. I lay in this con dition for five days, sometimes deliri- ous from the clouds of uitos which had their will of me, and gets ting steadily weaker. Then the owner, an old gentleman who was on pas sage with" us, went on board of a French corvette and induced her sur geon to come and sec his son, the captain. While on board, the surgeon was invited to sce me. He did so, and prescribed for me an ounce of Epsom Salts, in one dose. As before noted. I had now been nearly a week without food of any kind. In about half-an-hour I began to pass blood, and continued doing so until I - had lost over a quart. Then the bo'sun, a very wike old Finn, learning of my condition, brought me some drink which smelt nice and warmed me as it went slowly down. In less than ten minutes he blood ceased and was carried bio my bumk, perfertly sensible, but with my life hanging on a thread. | asked the bo'sun what magical stuff it was he had given me, and he told me i was "Collis Browne's Chlorodyne"; that since his life had been saved by it in Goa, when he had an attack of cholera, he had never been without it.© But he said that he had given. mw a triple dose, seeing the case was desperate, | need hardly add that I never sailed without it aftorwaids, nor since 1 have been . ashore have I ever' been without it in the house, cember with a cargo of coal, Ling by DF WORLD delegation of marine mén will wait on he Pominion governs ment on ¥ The Lindsay brewery was burned on Tucsday morning.

His salary is only £7.0C but he las fees as well, sometimes a very large amount. The Solicitor General has £6,000 a year. besides his fees, Of course, the double work, legal and parliamentary, which these officers have to undertake is most arduous, requiring an iron consti tion ynd a mind that requires little time for rest. The private. practioners in some few cases make larger jncomes than any of the offi cial 'persons at the bar, It is not indeed many who make five figures, but there may be always one or two leaders who are sehieving this, The Jeaders who are chiefly before the public in ordinary cases do not often make more than from £5,000 to £6,000 a year. Larger fortunes are frequently made by men who spectal- ize in patent cases, who are engaged in rating appeals and compensation work, or who practice their profes sion at the parliamentary bar, ge -------------- The King's Unbeunded Sympathy. Here is, to my mind, says M. A, P., the finest story of the King's un- bounded sympathy for, the sufferings of his subjects that has yet come to light. A young dressmaker Was threatened with consumption, follow- ing upon long and dangerous chest trouble, and was left nearly (Fite. The doctors advised her to ob- tain admittance to an open-air home to undergo a course of treatment. Seed Meanwhile she was taken into A oot. vent and devotedly nursed by nuns: but, unfortunately, all their efforts to get her admitted: imto a home of the kind were quite fruit. |. jess. Then the girl, learning that the King was patron of one of these in- stitutions on the south coast, re solved secretly to write to him and plead for his assistance. About a fortnight later a gentleman called at the convent and asked to see her. He gave no name, and at first he was told that she was too ill to see him. Ie then explained that it was neces- sary for him to see bor, as he come to inquire into her case, and as to the desirability of Seniting her ho an open-air home for eatmen of consumption. She was aided downstairs, and he questioned her as to what the doctors had said and then inquired to whom she bad applied for help. She mentioned sev- eral names, and at last hesitatingly adinitted that she had written to ti King. He then informed her that he had come from the King uit into her case, as His Majesty hi noticed her letter and wished to belp her. After further inquiries every- thing was satisfactorily aFranged; and the girl was sent for a prolong= ed period to the home, with the re sult that her health was greatly benefited, and that she has sincq been able to return to work, When Britain Was Heathen. Apropos of Christmas just passed, An English missionary used to carry about. with him a quotation from a sermon preached in Cambridge in 1573, and would offer it to anyone who criticized missionary enterprise.
