Noise for the SaW-MilI.

The largest whistle in the world was
recently made in Bridgeport, Conn,
for Montreal, Can, mill. 1t is as
large as a -four barrel, made of cast
brass, and cost $500. 1t is expected
that its screams can be heard a dis
tance of 80 miles. The mill upon
which it is to be placed has been des-
troyed by fire several times, and now
when, out of the regular hours for
blowing, this whistle is heard, it is
supposed that the fire departments in
the towns within radius of 90 miles
will hitch up and make for the fire.
This is said to be the design of the
whistle owners. 1t is intimated by
others that speculation is at the bot
tom of it; the owners intend to get
up corner on noise, and that when
the last day comes the whistle will be
rented out.

Why Our Boys Don't Learn
Trades.

Judge Wylie, of Washington, in
sentencing young man to the peni-
tentiary for larceny last week, said
he did not see how a young man could
get trade on account of the trade
combinations which prevent boys from
becoming apprentices. He said every
parent in the land should put his foot
down on these organizations which
have the effect of bringing skilled la
Dor here from abroad and of causing
univesal idleness among youths, which
drive them to crime. The judge might
have added that our American public
school system, especially in larger
cities, is we'll calculated to intensity
the evil he deplores. The boys are
carried we'll along in line for the mer-
camille pursuits and the professions,
but the fact that fve-sixths of the lads
must earn their bread by manual la
Dor seems to be studiously ignored.
The result is that when they leave
the high school they never think of
buckling down to hard work and
learning a trade; they look around for
a place in a store, or some soft thing
where they can keep their face and
hands clean and wear clean clothes.
They want to live by their wits, they
become travelling book agents, bar
tenders - anything but industrious,
self-respecting machines, and not I'M
frequently they become totally dis
couraged at the threshold of life, lapse
into hoodlums and tramps, with the
penitentiary looming in the back
ground. Our children should be edu-
Gated with some regard to their inevi-
table place and duty in the social fab
ric. They should be taught those
technical elements which underlie all
the mechanical trades; they should be
trained to accurate perception, and
the hand to skillful manipulation.

Ingersoll and Religion.

There is now no danger that Catho-
lies will burn Protestants or Protest
ants will burn Catholics. Men have
learned by experience that fire is not
an argument that appeals to the in
tellect. No church or sect now dreams
of making converts with the fagot or
the rack. Against the Christianity of
to-day what charge can Mr.. Ingersoll
bring except that it asks assent to
doctrins which he regards as untrue or
preposterous? He surely cannot charge
Christianity with spreading and foster
ing immortality. Catholicism does not
teach men to commit adultery. Meth
odism does not encourage murder, and
Presbyterianism does not promote
theft and lying. The doctrine of the
incarnation may be foolishness in Mr..
Ingersoll's eyes, but a belief in it can
not lead a man into looseness of life.
The doctrine of the trinity may be an
absurd fable, but it never taught a
bank cashier to rob the safe. The
persistency with which Christian min
listers urge men to repent of their sins
may be mere waste of words, but it
cannot, by the widest effort of soph-
istry be viewed as an encouragement
to crime. Bitterly as Mr.. Ingersoll
hates Christianity he must admit that
its influence is on the side of morality
and decency, and that any Christian
community, however ridiculous may
be its peculiar religious delusions, is
higher in the scale of morality than
any pagan community. Also, it is
an undeniable fact that hundreds of
thousands of Chritians bear the bur-
dens of life and face the fear of death
with courage and hope which spring
from their religion. Mr.. Ingersoll
surely will not claim that he is trying
to abolish Christianity because it
makes men worse and more hopeless
than they would be without tn.

POETRY
s IT.
BY FATHER RYAN.

My feet are wearied and nv hands are tired
Ny soul oppressed;
And with desire have long desired
Rest-only rest
'Tis hard to toll, when toll is almost vain,
In barren ways;
'Tis hard to sow, and never garner grain
In harvest days.
The burden of my days is hard to bear,
But God knows best;
And have prayed but vain has been my prayer
For rest-sweet rest.
is hard to plant in spring, and never reap
The autumn yield
'Tis hard to till, and when tbs tiled to weep
Der fruitless field.
And so cry, a weak and human cry,
So heart oppressed;
And so sigh. weak and human sigh
For rest-rest.
My way was wound across the desert years,
And cares infest
My path; and through the flowing of hot tears
| pine for rest.
Twas always SO; when still laid
On mothers breast
My wearied little head, cen then prayed
AS now, for rest
And am restless still; twill soor be DER,
For, down the west,
Life's sun is setting, and see the shore
Where shall rest.
