AT- ter luncheon the royal party went on deck. It was @ brilliant summer afternoon, and the pier to which the Tantatfion Costlé was moored was crowded by a throng of Copen- hagen citizens. Only one figure was miss- ing to their sight, and that the one thi had come forth to see. While the gay throng—king and queen, princes, peers, members of the house of commons, English- men and Danes—paced up and down the deck gayly chatting, Mr. Gladstone, with his back to the open doorway of the state cabin, sat as completely absorbed in his new study as if he were at Hawarden. Later, when the king and queen had de- parted, the Copenhageners were admitted on board. It was found necessary to rail off the deck on to which Mr. Gladstone's state cabin opened. But he was plainly visible, still going on reading, as Mme. De- farge went on knitting, apparently whoily unconscious of the existence of the crowd straining at the barrier, hungrily staring at him. Listened by the Hour to Others. His endurance of the mediocre or the commonplace was marvelous to persons of less patience. He sat listening by the hour to what others, whose time was less valua- ble. denounced as the dreary drip of point- less twaddle. In this respect he was like Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Bright, and distinctly unlike Mr. Arthur Balfour. Mr. Bright not being leader of the house, it was not in- cumbent on him that he should pay insigni- cant members the compliment of sitting out their speeches. But that was his habit. Sometimes he was one of a dozen or a score of members present through the din- ner hour. Mr. Disraeli sat immobile, ap- parenily listening, bui not incined to make rejoinder. Mr. Gladstone wa liable to be drawn by the most inconsiderabie mem- ber of the house speaking to empty bene! as if the mentary Whatever Mr. Gladstone did, whether the thing were big or little, he did it with his might. Whatever might be the he took in hand, however compar ) trivial, he bent all his energies upon it consideration. Coming to the difMer t after whatever arduous work in parliam or on thegplatform, was as full of life and energy at an idie day in bed and jus, got up to dress for dinner. I remember one Saturday night at Datmeny during, the last Midlothian campaign he had been on a loug and purposeless drive through a wide district of the siitue It was a horrible day, with the east win. blowing and the air full of dust. He was evidently tired when he returned, and Lord Rosebery, in his infinite solicitude, sug- gested that politics should be rigorously avoided at dinner. The kindiy wisdom of this course was perceived, and the bargain was, as far as the other guests were cx cerned, honorably kept But Mr. Gladsto had not been seated at the table ten min e utes, had taken « giass of champagne with his fish, when he began to discuss the cur- rent position of affairs at the polling y then in progress. Warming with his subject, he taiked away h kiudling energy, breaking out into a fresh line of conversation when he joined the wemen in the drawing room. _ Did Not Forgive His Old Pupil. I was privileged to be much in his com- pany during the Midlothian campaigns having accompanied him through all save one, the course of which I regretfully watched from the editorial chair of a Lon- don daily paper. I am_ permitted to quote from a letter I wrote to a friend from Edinburgh under date of October 23, 1890: I was very fortunately placed at the din- ner last night, being next to Mrs. Childers, and on the other side of her Mr. Gladstone. * * * We three had a geod deal of con- versation through the dinner, and when the ladies withdrew I was Mr. Gladstone's right-hand neighbor. He was, as usual, full of life and energy. I noticed, not for the first time, what remarkable evidence of life flashes in his eyes. Even Isaac Holden, marvel of healthy preservation as he is, has the dried-up lack-luster look about the eyes that comes with extreme old age. Gladstone's eyes are almost as bright as a boy’s—certainly brighter than those of the average man of half his age. That is an excellent sign of sustained vigor. He was much interested in what I told him about Stafford Northcot Life,” of which I have an eariy copy, and looked through it this morning. I could see that, even now, he has not forgiven his old pupil and secretary for going over to the enemy and undertaking to frame their budge He did not say anyihing disparaging of him, but would not echo my warm praise. He got quite excited because none of us could remember what position Stafford Northcote filled in the stop-gap govern- ment of 1885. He thought it a lamentable thing t with Childers there, myself and others intimate with parliament, no one could settle the point. “Herbert,” he was sure, would know. But Herbert chanced to be out of the room. As soon as he came in Mr. Gladstone was down on him with a question. Herbert said Northcote had taken the colonies, which seemed so probable that all agreed that it was. Later I got hold of the aluable “Whitaker,” and dis- covered that none of us knew, for the best of all reasons. In that ministry Northcote held no administrative office, having gone to the peers, bearing the style first lord of the treasury. Talked About Books. We talked a good deal about books, e: pecially “The Bride of Lammermoor, which he preferred above all Scott’s novels. Talking about novel-writing, he said: “Mod- ern authors do not seem to feel the neces- sity of inventing a plot before starting to write their story, wherein they radically differ from Walter Scott and other elders. Nowadays a novel is made up of characte sketching and conversation.” He was much interested on hearing that just before leav- ing tcwn I had been at the first night of “Ravenswood” at the Lyceum. He cross examined me closely as to how certain ep sodes and scenes in the novei, more pecially the tragic last scene, were worked out on the stage. He is profoundly inter- ested in the plece and means to go and sec it as soon as he gets back to town. Mr. Gladstone's conversation we lightful as some of his speeches mag: nincent. No subject was too erudite for him. no topic too minute. Yet he did not sin, as Coleridge did, by monopolizing the opportunities of the table by indulging in. monologue. As a rule he let others start the conversation, and followed the lead whithersoever it trended. The odds were that. as happened in a particular case I recall at Dalmeny, whatever experts w: present Mr. Gladstone kne@® most of the subject. During one of the Midlothian campaigns the question of the Scotch Church was much to the front. Lond Rosebery, desirous that Mr. Gladstone might have information from the highest source, invited a well-known Scotch divine to luncheon. The principal, nothing loath, started the subject, but it was Mr. Glad- stone who finished it, quickly taking up the running, and disclosing intimate and ail- embracing acquaintance with the intricate question. ——— Light in Powder Magazines. From the American Electrician. A committee of the Academie des Sci- ences was formed at the instance of the French minister of war to investigate the question of fixing electrical conductors in or near powder magazines, and their re- port has been presented. They make no distinction between telephone and tele- graph wires and electric light and power conductors, since all these may be exposed to lightning. The report may be summar- ized_as follows: All underground electric conductors, as well as gas and water pipes, must be kept at least 30 feet away from the magazine. Aerial lines must. be ar- ranged so that they will not fall upon the magazine if broken, and it is recommended that none be allowed within 60 feet of the magazine. If light be required inside the magazines, all wires are to be strong me- tallic pipes, and all switches, fuses, ete., are to sag ter on ed ated of the structure. ly fixed ips are permissi- ble, and these must be protected by a sec- ond envelope of glass. No voltages over 110 are to be used. Any electric bells re- recommended as being the safest and most desirable for use in and around magazines. ———— Nell—“I thought she was going to marry Tom?” * “Yes, but Jack offered to make @ good living for her."—Phiiadelphia Record. — AS TO BLOCK ADEs, The Definition as Contained in the Declaration of Pa From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Once established a blockade can be ter- minated only in two ways—by voluntary re- linquishmont by the belligerent that tried to establish it, or by the raising of the blockade by the enemy. Neutral vessels are subject to search by either “belligerent” for “contraband of war,” for articles manufac- tured and primarily or ordinarily used for military purposes in time of war, and des- tined for the use of the hostile nation in war. Contraband articles are subject to capture on the high seas if thus destined for the use of the enemy in his mil- itary preparations; but by an “effectiv blocka‘le a belligerent may pro- hibit the entry of “contrat of all articles of commerce found in any vessel, neutral or otherwise.

The most remarkable company of sol- diers ever drilleld in this country fought under Extra Billy Smith, twice governor of Virginia. He acquired the nickname through connection with extensive mail contracts which he held before the war, his charge to the government for “Extra work” on his star routes being so frequent and large as to keep the Post Office Depart- ment in a state of constant ferment. He was a grand old man of the rough, honest type of Biue Jeans Williams, Lincoin, Thurman, Jerry Rusk, Crawford and Jenk- ins. His education had been sadly neglect- ed, but he owned brains to spare and horse sense enough for three ordinary governors. He drilled his men according to “Extra Bil- ly’s Tactics,” an unpublished manual of arms. A Grill lesson: Col. Extra Bill: “Now,
