The Transportation of Petroleum.

To what extent is the competition of
Russia to affect the sale of American
petroleum in Europe? 1t has already
nearly driven 1t from the Austrian en-
pire. though the effect is not yet very ap-
parent in western Europe. The transpor-
tation Of petroleum on the Mediterranean
In summer presents dangers that render it
almost impossible When the tempera-
ture Of the air about the vessel has
reached a certain point the volatile Gle
ments of the oil escape and form sort of
element about 1t SO combustible that it Is
impossible even to light match without
its taking fire. Life on q steamer under
these conditions becomes horrible. In the
summer Of 1885 q steamer bound from
Batoum to England went the whole dis
tance from the Dardanelles to Gibraltar
after the point Of inHammsbility had been
passed. The fires under the engines had
to be extinguished and she went under
sail. 1t was impossible to have a fire
even in the galley. The sufferings of the
officers and crew during this period can
hardly be conceived. Perfect safety was
not obtained till the cargo was removed
in an English port.
The question of Russian competition
really depends ON the permanent supply
of oil from the Bahu wells, and there are
doubts even among the engineers Of the
Russian companies upon the subject. 1t
Is thought that oil will be found else
where In the Caucasus. There are de-
posits under the Caspian, as shown by oil
on the surface and in some Of the islands
also in Turkestan. It remains to be
shown to what extent these resources will
prove available.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Appstites Of Hired Girls.

Talk about the appetite of girls. said
Q portly matron at a domestic aid agency,
with q smile. Whatever may be the
matter with that Of our native born girls
there Is certainly no fault to be found
with the digestion Of the foreign born
help hiring out in private families Why,
It's often been q wonder TO me what
ravenous appetites good many of these
girls develop. Now, there was q l7-year
old English girl, a small but plump
creature, who went to work in family
Of two near Lincoln park She was
good girl. quick. neat and conscientious.
but after fortnight the la,ly came to me
and told me she couldn't keep Nellie any
longer; she'd ruin them: she ate too
much. Would you believe it. sir. that
small girl ate three pounds Of sirloin beef
stake at one breakfast. A couple Of
pounds Of rare roast beef. together with
bread. potatoes and pie enough to feed q
starving family for a week. was regular
thing with her. The first two or three
days 1t amused that young married couple
to whom she had hired out. They used
to sit and watch her operations at the
table with bulging eyes. They thought
she had been starving and had to fill out
again. But not was the same every
day. They had to give it up. That girl
was actually bankrupting them. The
grocer's and butchers bills at the end of
the week were as high as they would
have been for a boarding house.
Then there was another girl. Ger
man. She was an old maid of 35 or
thereabouts. She was as thin as a rail
and so pale she looked as If she had con-
sumption. But the way she punished the
eatablesl My sakesi And with that she
never gained any flesh. She was good
servant. efficient. faithful and exceed
ingly methodfcal But she came to me
every week for new place. Nobody
could afford to keep her-that's the fact.
And. generally speaking, my experience
Of many years with these foreign born
hired girls Is that they glory in an enor-
nous appetite and enjoy their meals i'm
mensely. Some people think they just
do it on purpose to bust the family. But
no: it's natural with them. Chicago

Ep.,,.h and Amer,e.n Aa,.r,,.,ne.

1T is a mistake" said well known
advertising agent to me recently, but q
common one to suppose that Americans
spend more in advertising than do the
business men of other nations. think
Americans spend more wisely and get
more display for their money, but the
actual sumo expended by English adver-
tisers exceed those expended by Ameri-
cans. One English firm alone spent last
year at least $500. 900 in advertising one
commodity. Two hundred and seventy
five thousand dollars Of this money was
disbursed in England and $3.50. 900 Of it in
this country, the balance elsewhere.
They get more display out Of the $3.50, 900
spent here than out Of the $275, COO spent
in England. No American firm can equal
this record of expenditure. which is not q
solitary instance, but will be repeated by
the same firm this year, and may be for
years to come. The Epoch.

The follow letter from ex- President Ruth
erford B. Hayes, to Col. Coates Kinney, is
certainly remarkable tribute to the liter
ary and general merit Of q remarkable
poem-his Centennial Ode. Gen. Hayes
writes:
Ny DEAR SIR-When a man has done
q conspicuously good thing, beneficial to
the public, 1t Is an impulse with me to
thank him for IL did so verbally from

w. ID. Howells and q number of others.
ladies and gentlemen fond of good things,
and all agreed that the cutting / enclose
contains our notions.
The ''cutting" is an editorial from the
Ohio State Journal. and is as follows:
After reading Coates Kinney's wonderful
centennial ode the ordinary voice Of eulogy
is silent To say that 1t is worthy the oc-
cssion, worthy Of the stste whose hundred
years Of progress il celebrates, and worthy
Of the vast audience to whom il was recited,
sounds tame and commonplace Yet what
else can we say.
Perhaps one thing is left which may be

tie 1t, one thing that may not be stigma
tized Is the poor stuff always srs Ken Of In
reference 70 such efforts Of genius, namely.
that the ode IS altogether worthy Of the poet
himself.
How much this IL saying can only be
fully appreciated By those nbo have earn
estly taken In hand Colonel Kfnnsys "Lys-
les of the Ideal and the Eesl,v and have
noted Ia them tbe eEtfsofcansy powers
of the authors mind Since ftle publlcS-
tion of that book the Ioffiest iD;elIeets Of
two worlds have hailed Coates Kinney ~
the thinker of higher. fresiser, deeper aud
more glowing thought than almost any
other writer Of the day,
1t was possible for this acknowledged
genius therefore to write a splendid ode
commemorating the opening of Ohio's CEN
tenniai exhibition, and yet fall far below
himself. He has produced the ode, but he
has fallen not one inch below his own lofti-
est previous attainment What nsed of
saying more?
Of this, the Dayton Journal truly says !:
Real fame comes to Coates Kinney late in
life, after many vicissitudes, but we hope
that 1t Is none the less sweet.
Real fame came to the colonel early In
life, when Rain on the Roof" was given to
the world. 1t has been known as q classic
for more than a quarter of century. 1t

THE ELECTIONS.

The election on Tuesday, Nov 9th.
passed off very quietly in Vermont, the
republican majority varying but little
from the September election. OF course
Harrison and Morton were elected.
All the New England states except
Connecticut gave their votes for the
Harrison electors. Conn. is very close,
and at this writing there is some uncer-
tainty about the result, with chances in
favor of the democrats. Outside of n.
England the interest was more intense,
because of some states that stood in the
doubtful list. The Republicans carried
all of the Northern and Pacific States
except New jersey. They made gains
in West Virginia and Delaware. In
the latter state they have elected re-
publican Legislature which will choose
a senator in place of salisbury. This
is new state Of affairs for that little
state and a slight break into the solid
South. A crack was also made into
the other side Of the old confederacy, a
republican representative having been
chosen from Louisiana. Indiana and
New York were the two states in which
the greatest interest centered. for it was
generally conceded that the result in
those two states would determine the
general result. indiana, the home Of
Harrison gives him a plurality Of over
1000. and New York. on the national
ticket, goes republican by about IL, 200
majority. though the democrats elected
Hill. their candidate for governor. Ii
is said by some that Hill gave US Har-
rison. but the fact Is. that whatever he
may have done to defeat Cleveland in
order to make sure his own election.
Harrison would have been elected. La
ter returns show that West Virginia. of
which little account was made by the
republicans in their general calculations
has cast its vote for Harrison. The
general fact Is. that Harrison and Nor
ton are elected by such decisive major
tiles as to leave no room for question.
If the democrats say there was fraud
and corruption in New York, we reply
by saving that the republicans would
