Are We Sinking!

According to Professor !. :. New
berry, various facts indicate that the
coast of New Jersey and Long Island il
gradually sinking. From the marshes
of New Jersey are taken the trunks of
trees which could not have grown there
except when it was drier ground, and on
tue shore stumps are seen, now under
water, of trees which must have grown
on land. SO, too the sea throws up in
storms portions of turfy soil, once GOV
cred only by the air. and similar soil
has been reached below the sea-levcl
in pits dug through drifted sand along
its margin. IL is also said that the land
boundaries have been changed and farms
diminished even where the wash of the
shorewaves produced no effect. The
rate of the subsidence is very slow--only
n lew inches in a century-and IL may
at any time be arrested or reversed but,
should il continue, as it may, for some
thousands Of years, it would result in Il
submergence of land now valued at hun.
dreds Of millions OF dollars, and com
plete change Of position in the seats Of
commerce and industry, which must al
ways center about this barbor. This
possible catastrophe is, however 80 un-
certain and remote that il seems hardly
sufficient TO disturb the equanimity Of at
least this generation Of inhabitants.

Rich Men,s SONG.

The president of one Of our largest
banks said a day or two since, that a
rich mans son had just left his place,
and he was the last man Of the kind he
should ever employ. The man was faith
full, honest, and filled intelligently and
well all the duties required Of him; but
just as he had become accustomed TO his
work he found out it was too confning,
and raw clerk had TO be put i'm his
place. A bad look for rich young men,
but it is the old story repeated for II
thousandth time. If rich mems sons
will not endure the drudgery by which
their fathers secured money and posi-
tion, they must take a secondary place
in the next generation and Oftener they
drop out Of sight amid the idle, worth
less herd, If indeed they escape an asso-
citation with lo8fcrs and criminals.
Nearly every man in any leading posi-
tion IN the community began life poor.
Let the sons Of rich men take warning,
and go TO work honestly and faithfully
every day, if they hope 10 fill the posi-.
tiOns held by their fathers.

BY ESTHER sERLE KENNETH.

The Chetwynds considered their
family quite perfect and complete when
the youngest arrived, and so she was not
particularly welcome. A girl, and quite
plain, too. The twin-sons were very
handsome, the twin-daughters very
pretty. Em was looked upon at first AZ
very undesirable addition to the
family. Later, she was found to be use
ftIl - finally she became quite indis-
pensable.
Having never been taught to CON
slider herself, she grew up to consider
everybody else, and this made her n

II was her especial work to attend her
papa, nurse her invalid mamma, cook
Jacks pet dishes, serve as amanuensis
To Tom, do Graoe's hair, trim Garcia
hats, and serve as housekeeper 70 the en-
tire family-this long before she was six
teen. 'eri
At this time her father died, and the
household was plunged into compare
tive poverty.
Her mother had hysterieS daily a
month after the funeral. Jack and Tom
no longer gave the family the support
of their cOuntenances, but married
quietly ana took their brides-two
sisters-West.
The remainder Of the household re-.
moved from their city home TO an old
farmhouse deep in the country, where
Grace could never find new way 10 do
her hair up, and Garcia sulked because
her mourning was 30 unbecominp.
Here Em was not only housekeeper
and nurse, but literally maid id-of-an-work.
30 more uncongenial home could
possibly have been allotted to this
family. They knew nothing about the
management of q farm, which was not
strange They had an aversion to'their

A Colony of Monks.


II the report that Pennsylvania is to

monks is true, IL Is a notable event in
the religious history Of the State. Two
hundred Of these austere men, it is said
are 10 be sent from the home of the
order in France and located on lands in
Pennsylyania. This will be- the second
attempt TO locate this order permanently
upon our soil. As early az 1903 a colony
came to this state where, however,
they remained but briefly, removing from
this point to Kentucky, Missouri.
Illinois and finally to Nova Scotia, where
we believe they still remain. II IL not
likely that many prOselytes will be
drawn TO the order here, especially if
the monks prove true TO the vows Of
their order. They are among the most
ascetic Of all the religious orders, and
their modes Of life are 80 primitive that
Americans are not likely TO be drawn to
ward them. The order has fallen into
disreputc in Europe, and has been PC
vctely prosecuted and even totally sup
pressed in some countries, among which
are Germany, Switzerland and even
Italy. " is not likely that IL will
make itself felt among us. being too
