During the entire trip the sky was 1eaden, with 8 slight rain towards it's close but the temper ature was mild and the water smooth, so that the sail was highly enjoyable to those on board, including in all with the officers of the institution and invited guests some 300 persons.

THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

kH1S1Ok&1CAA SOC4EEEs Action Taken Regarding Two of Cur Venerable Recently Deceased and Notable Citizens.
 A meeting of the directors of the New Ha- ven Colony Historical society was held at their rooms in the State House Saturday evening at 8 o'clock at the call of the presi- dent. It was called to order at S:15 and MT. G. Sherman was appointed secretary, when the president offered the following notice and resolutions:
 The death of Mir. Charles Peterson, one of the oldest members of the New Haven Col ony Historical society and for many years a director, having been announced, it was re. solved to enter upon the records a testimo- nial of our high appreciation of his worth and virtues as man and of our regret that in his departure we lose from our meetings the cheering presence of one who took an active interest in the welfare of the society, and who as 8 town-born citizen had gathered much valuable information concerning the early history of New Haven.
 And it was further resolved that the sec- retary be desired to transmit copies of this minute to Mrs Peterson and to the city press for publication. On motion of R. P. Cowies the resolutions were unanimously adopted. On motion of G.. Sherman the following resolutions on the death of our honored use- ful, aged fellow-citizen, the late John w Bar Der, were adopted unanimously:
 Resolved, That in the death of John w. Barber, distinguished alike editor, author and especially historian, old friend and honored member of this society, not only this institution, but our city and our country meet with a deeply felt loss. Our consolation is that he thus exchanges the afic- tions and cares of old age on earth for the new, brighter and better life with his Saviour and the good gone before.
 Resolved, That gratefully owe our obligations for his many gifts to the society (These comprise objects of historic interest and value many vol. umes of his own writings and of other histoi ians)
 Resolved, That in common with all the other early strong friends of the society Mr. John w. Barber has done useful, noble and lasting work in rescuing from oblivion and loss much of the early history of New Haven colony and the State of Connecticut of the first df not the very tirst of independent colonies ever planted, the model republic.
 Resolved, That in writing the Historical Collec- tons of Connecticut and other States that we rec ognize his pioneer works those which have given great impulse to the preservation of State and United States history.
 Resolved, That the secretary send copies to the surviving family of MT. Barber and to the press for publication.

Theirs not.to make reply, Theirs not to reason why. Theirs but to do and die.

And because the faith of this man was so prompt and so exact it was unwavering. Tried as he must have been in some critical moment when utter disaster seemed to con- front him, hs faltered not in his humble, faithful obedience to the voice that was ever calling him, "Get thee into land that I shall show thee." And so we come to the great lesson of our theme, that the obedience of faith is the most perfect and acceptable
 God calls men now as he called Abraham. But we object to taking God on trust. Do you not know that faith lies at the basis of all great, heroic, successful endeavor? With out faith there would have been no Parthe- non and no Pyramids. Without faith
 Hannibal would not have crossed the Alps, and Grant would not have subdued the Gibraltar of the Mississippi. Without faith Columbus would not have crossed the ocean and Stanley would not have found Livingston. The man who sneers, who believes nothing is not the man to cross seas, found empires, plant and rear new civilization. Faith is the handspring of all human action. The husbandman yokes his horse to the blow when there is no bud bursting in the tree and no thrush singing in the hedges. Why? He believes that in the bright, warm summer day these bare fields shall be green with growing grain and merry in the antumn with the song of sunbrowned reapers. He is man of faith. So is your seaman. None braver than he. He ventures his bark upon the sea ploughed by many keels and furrowed by none, with neither path to follow nor star to guide. When the last blue hill has dipped beneath the wave and he is upon shore1ess sea he knows that however bis ship may turn or plunge or

probable that the experience in different

most lines of business statements somewhat
similar to the above might be made. The
tendency, all the time going on, to lessen
the hours of service, both in offices and
workshops would Of itself make the cost Of
business proportionately higher. The cheap

be in enlarging the amount of business which

Aerating the Waters.


The purIfication of the waters supplied to
large cities is a very important matter. The
growth Of manufactures and the waste Of
populated districts in time contaminates the
streams that furnish the water supply. Mill
ions of people die or sicken yearly because Of
impure water or tainted air. More than
haH the physical ills which afflict mankind
come from these two sources
Philadelphia is just now trying an expert
ment which, il successful, will greatly bens-
fit the dwellers in large cities. 1t is asrat-
ing the water in the Fairmount reservoirs.
The Schuylkill and Delaware, from which
the water supply has been secured, have be-
come foul from the growth of population
along their banks, and, as drawing water
from a distance would take time and be
costly at that, an effort is making to purify
the waters in the reservoirs This Is being
done by forcing air through the water. The
oxygen, according to the theory of this pro-
cess, would act directly upon the organic
impurities, thus converting them into harm
less oxydized products 1t is the motion and
exposure to the air that purifies running
rivers.
The Thames at London is simply poison
Gus, yet its waters are usable ten miles below
the city, as the oxygen OF tne ar working
upon it gradually restored its wholesomenesa
This fact has always been well known, yet
engineers persist in enclosing aqueducts and
shutting of the air until the water reaches
the reservoirs New York city is to build Q
new aqueduct thirty miles long. The water.
of course, is quite good at Croton lake, but
it would be much better if it was protected
stream open to the air. But millions Of dol
lars will be spent to shut out the oxygen
until the reservoir Is reached, where it will
have less effect because there the water Is
necessarily without motion. This purity Of
air and water is vital matter, and all who
are interested in the health Of their families
should constantly keep it in mind. Half tho
misery of life comes from the myriads OF
sick people who would be wholesome and
happy if the air they breathed and the water
they drank were reasonably pura

IOOseness in the Management Of Clerks
Sliding into Dishonesty.
William H. Maher in Inter Oceanl
Intelligent merchants read almost daily in
their morning papers, but how many Of
them take home to themselves the question:
Am also losing goods or money in this wayi
There has grown up much looseness in the
management of clerks. Ii one loses place
for cause he need not be out of work very
long. Inquiries as to character are not made
as they were before the war, and the mer-
chant who attempts to learn the whereabouts
of his clerks after business hours is con-
sidered worse than an old fogy; he is looked
upon as an idiot. Everything is done on
broad gauge. The man who looks after
details is mean" and to be small is worse
than to commit a crime.
A retail merchant in q country town asked
me one day how he could put his clerk on his
guard against stealing. Said he: He is q
good boy, but he is spending more money
than am paying him OF course, if say
80 to him he will deny it. and I have no

Sew people have any idea of the magni-
tude Of the slate industry in this country.
Until few years since, the product Of the
different slate quarries in the United States
was quite limited. Now the total amount
produced, of roofing slate alone. is about
100000 squares per year. A square Is 100
square feet or sufficient to cover Q space
ten feet by ten feet, when laid on the roof
It covers the same area as loo shingles
~As roofing material slate is becoming
more generally used, as it lasts lifetime, d
fire-proof, needs no painting, and renders
rain-water pure and untaintsd- Besides the
large amount Of roofng-slate produced, .
q great deal is used for other building pur-
poses, such as window-sills, steps, floors and
mantels. Billiard tatle beds are now made
exclusively Of slate, and it is also used
largely for tagging"
"Where is most Of the slate quarriedT was
asked.
"Well, most of the quarries are in eastern
Pennsylvana-in Northampton and Lehigh
counties. More than one-half of tho total
product of the United States comes from
that region. Maine and Vermont produces
small quantities. There are also small bed.
Of slate in Michigan and Virginia. Ths
quarries at Bang or, Pa, are considered su-
perior to any, as the slate is tough, durable
and of an unfading dark blue-bla color
The quarries there are valued at from $5O,.
600 to $500, 600 each.
"The slate is first blasted out then hoisted
by the steam power in largo irregular
shaped blocks to the bank. These blocks are
then broken or tscalloped' into smaller
blocks; then split into sheets Of required
thickness. For that purpose, a chisel OF
knife, about eighteen inches long, resembling
a large putty knife, is used. The slate splits
readily whenever the knife is put in, II in.
serted when the block is wet, or green as it
is called. The workmsn speak Of the orig.
ina moisture in the slate as sap After tha
blocks are dry, they harden and cannot b
split
"After the blocks are split, the sheets are
dressed or trimmed with machine worked
by foct-power. to the required size, which is
from 6x12 inches to 14x24 inches. They are
then shipped to all parts of the union and to
tine Old World. A great deal of slate goes
to Australia"
