ments. In nv first


paper said the Harper could carry 2, 800 tons
of ore. In the second paper it was shown
that train of ore cars could only carry
about 440 tons of ore from the mines to the
decks at one trip. How, then, was it pos
sible to make short work of loading such
a capacious ship?
A more comprehensive idea of the char
acter of the ore docks may be gained from
the accompanying photographs than I can
give in words. On top of the dock, and in
the middle, extends railroad track. Slop-
ing down from either rail are "pockets" in
the dock. A train of cars pulling up on
the pier drops the ore from the adjustable
car bottoms into these pockets, which are
for storage purposes Or, if it is desirable
to unload directly from the cars into the
ships hold, there are chutes for that pur-
pose alternating between the pockets.
THE ORE RUNS IN CHUTEA .--...
Long, ponderous spouts of iron, reseu1-
bling the smokestacks of a steamboat, are
fastened to every pocket or chute by chains.
But when the chain is loosed, and the
hinges on the lower end of the spout allow
it to fall gently toward the boats deck, it is
seen at once to be the perfect half of q
smoke-stack-as though slit right down the
center. By this time the deckhands of the
Harper had the hatchways uncovered, and
the spout's end dropped plump into
hatchway. Then another was let down into
a second hatchway-s third-a fourth
three pockets and train to be emptied at
the same time!
Watched the work for little while, for
I felt that by the swift way in which the
ore was gliding down those spouts into the
deep hold 1 could not watch it long-it
would all be over soon.
"Give US half car in this hatch, Conduc-
tor heard Captain Miles say.
The train moved little farther up the
pier, full car stopped just over the proper
chute, the spout was adjusted, the bottom
of one of the half compartments of the

LOVING WITH STRENGTH.

Finally, there are people who love God
with all their strength. That ought to take
in every one of us. We love God with all
our strength when we do our work for Him;
for Him to see. p A man who breaks stone
in the street and breaks it well, and cares
even more to have that stone well broken
than to have the overseer notice that it is
well broken, loves God with his strength.
A maid who sweeps the corners of a room,
and cares more to have the darkest corner
absolutely clean than she does to have her
mistress see that it is clean, loves God with
her strength. Anybody who works well at
anything, minding most of all how the work
looks to God, who sees the top of it and the
bottom of it, and the wrong side as well as
the right side of it, loves God with all his
strength st. Paul gives the rule for it:
IN OF with eye service as men pleasers, but
as the servants of Cod
There is more love of God in the world
than we think. The high churchmen, and
the low churchmen, and the broad church
men all together do not monopolize it.
There will be great many surprised people
at the Day of Judgment. And some will be
surprised TO find that thev have all their
lives been loving God. There is love of
honesty and a love of honor a love of
virtue, a love of purity, which is really love
of God. Whoever, for its own sake, loves
the right, loves God.

THE TRUE LOVERS OF GOD.

All true lovers of God love Him in all
four OF these ways at onoe, with heart, and
mind, and soul and strength. The differ
ence between people is not difference of
distinction, SO that some love God with
their hearts altogether and not with their
souls at all; it is a difference of emphasis,

and some memory and some reason, but

To an American this canal inspires patriot
ism. There is nothing like its fruits in the
known world. The traffic Of the celebrated
Suez Canal for 1890 was 3S9 vessels. register

and &, 1888 lS7 tons for 1859. The traffic of the
Sault Ste. Marie during the 234 days naFiga-

1889 the lock at the $500" passed IL per cent
more tonnage than the Suez Canal, and in
the 22S days that the canal was open last
year 22.S per cent more tonnage passed
through than passed through the Suez.
WHAT RAILROADS HAVE LOST.
But this little known strip of water has
been the direct cause of the railroads losing
freight amounting to more than 100000, 900
bushels of wheat, 5,O00,0 900 tons of ore, coal
and copper, and many thousands of tons of
Northwestern products during the last few
years. The commerce OF a great part of the
United States would receive a blow ofinter-
national difficulties or other causes, should
ever close up the $500"
The first canal was finished in 1856. 1t was
constructed to surmount the rapids and
shoals OF the St Mary's river. The lock of
that canal had two cells, each S20x70 feet,
and depth of II feet inches. At last it
was proven that depth was too little for the
growing commerce of the great lakes The
new Developments of iron ore, copper, and
the wheat traffic, demanded something bet
ter. The United States Government let con-
tracts in 1870 for the building of a new canal.
This is the one now in use. 1t Is 1000 feet
long los feet wide, and 16 feet deep. The
lock cells are 5l5 from the upper leaves to
the lower ones so feet wide, and at the
miter-slls will admit vessels drawing not
more than 16 feet inches. The work cost
$2,50O000.

LOVING WITH THE HEART.

We love God, then, with the heart, when
we love Him somewhat as the disciples loved
the Master, as st. John, whom he loved,
loved Him. We love Him as Mary did when
she cried "Rabbon1p" in the garden of the
resurrection, and fell at His feet in adora-
tion. There are blessed, serene souls to
whom God seems close as q personal friend.
They are always conscious of His beloved
presence. They trust Him; they depend
upon Him; they goto Him with all their
troubles and temptations, with their bles-
sings, sure of His attention, of His unfail-
ing interest, of His help and sympathy.
They delight in praying to Him; they re-
joice in reciting sentences of devotion. The
still sanctuary, with its holy associations,
its heavenly symbols, its company of silent
worshipers, seems to them like an opening
of the gates of pearl
These devout disciples, like the old psalm
list, are glad of everv opportunity of going
into the house of the Lord. The service
satisfies them. They like the early COM
munious in the quiet of the new morning.
They are appreciative Of everything that
makes the church more beautiful; think as
much of rites and ceremonies, of lights and
colors, as Moses and Aaron did. They get
the name of being ritualists, because they

An Interesting Story OF the Great Mus

An Interesting story Of the Great Musi-
clan aud the Emperor.
Here is an interesting story which
does not occur in Louis Eugle's most
charming book of anecdotes and remi-
niscences OF mus cians, but which IN

piece with the narratives contained
therein, writes Eugene Field. When
Ludwig Beethoven first visited the Aus

Well provided witt letters of introduc-
ton TO E uperor Joseph, he proceeded
alone to the palace, determined TO play his
way into the affections of the monarch.
Admitted TO the palace, lie was met in

man. who told him that the emperor
could not well receive him then. but
would be glad 10 have him present HIM

Beethoven engaged la conversation with
him, and presently di covered that he

arising from The stangers casual ad MIS-

Beethoven sneer agly, he plays the
piano little. and strums away on the
violoncello, and composes sonatas, but
between you and me these big people
don't carry their music studies very far
after all.
This honest expression of opinion
seemed to amuse the barber nightly;
he simply roared with laughter.
That evening at the appointed hour
Beethoven came to the Augarlen and
was shown into the music room, where
the emperor and friend were seated
in conversation. Intense was the young
musicians horror to learn that the sup
