THE oyEAwoBKED STUDENT.


By the letters that he wrote them,
Proud these parents grew OF HIM
Sent their money IN abundance,
Gratified his ev'ry whim;
Still thing they urged upon him, :.
And it was his health to guard,
Saying in their letter: "Arthur,
We're afraid you work too hard.n
"Y es, indeed" he answered sadly,
"But, dear parents, tits for famel
Tell me who would not delye deeply
'Mong great books to earn a namcG"
So they sent their boy more money
To expend for midnight oil,
And it deeply wrought their spirits
Thinking how that boy did toll.
On the day the money reached him
lie was smoking a cigar,
Absently engaged in counting
Caroms at billiard bar.
Now and then bracing cocktail
For diversions sakeshe'd kill;
Now and he'd sigh and ponder
Der his big tuition bill.
And he thought about his tailor,
Scanned the long arrears of rent,
Ciphered up two quarters washing
And the money to him sent.
Found his debts were vast and weighty
So to ease the load 6f all,
He did lunge for ten long hours
Madly at q billiard ball.

MAN AND MACHINERY,

In an article on ''Man and Machinery"
the New York Sun argues that machin-
cry has not supported workmen, but has
increased the demand for laborers. To
prove its proposition it cites the progress
and experience of the Baldwin Loco.
motive Works in Philadelphia. The
facts, however, as given by the Sun, dis.
prove it's proposition. The following
shows the number of engines built each
year and hands employed at those works
since 1866.

| This is but little more than the present
cost of the navy for single year. In
1869 we expended $50, ,0Sl, ,2S5 on the navy;
in 1870, $1s,9s5, 1866; in 1874, $40 265, ,24O;
1872, $17,694, $3.50; in 1894, $a2, 800, 900 were
appropriated and nearly all expended.
| Is any one foolish enough to suppos e
that we really need more navy at the
present time to secure ourselves against
| foreign powers than was required thirty,
forty and fifty years ago? Was not the
country more exposed to disaster from
invasion in 1896, when but $274,7Sl was
expended OH the navy, and when we hao
but 7,OOO,O 900 OF people and no resources
to.speak OF, than we are now with 42, ,G00,-
900 of people and unlimited resources?
Would foreign powers be more likely to
attack US with navy costing no more
than $40, 100000 than with navy costing
$40, 900, 900? Not bit of it. Should they
attack us il we had no more ships than
we had thirty or fifty years ago, the war
might be prolonged, and many of our sea-
ports might be destroyed, but the Amer
ican people would soon build rams and
iren.clads, and peace would not be made
until all damage was settled by the in
vading powers. 1t would be dear war
to the invaders, not to us, and foreign
powers know it SO we'll that it matters
not as to them what our navy may be.
OF course we need a navy, but not
much. We should not 60 beyond $l0,-
600, 900 on this branch of the service.
Probably that sum honestly expended
would go farther than the twenty or
more millions that are now thrown into
| that establishment.
Why keep squadrons in all. the seas,
and war vessels lowering about all the
pagan nations and islands? Is it be-
cause other nations do so? That is no
reason for us. There is cheaper
method OF protecting our interests and
our citizens-and tnat is to call the Of
Tending nation severely to account for
any outrage that may be inflicted upon
us under its flag.
| 1t is. time the Christian world were
looking toward peace; and our Republic
should set the example of disarmament.
But on the contrary, the struggle in
both the army and the navy is more and
more toward the pomp, parade, extraya-
gance and belligerency of others powers.
