In 1913 chart of bottle voyages In the
Atlantic was constructed by Lieutenant
Beecher, an English naval officer, with the
idea that by such means the determination
Of currents might be illustrated. sThe
time which elapses between the launching
of the bottle from the ship and the finding
of it on shore, or the picking of 1t up by
some other ship, has varied from a few
days to sixteen years, while the straight
line distance between the two points has
varied from few miles to 5000 miles. The
chart is marked by several hundred straight
lines, each drawn from the latitude and
longitude of immersion to the latitude and
longitude of the finding.

TRUST.

II thou dost find cold spirits, hearts unkind,
Lee this not warp thy disappointed mind
To think oil men alike; IL Is not so,
Forstin on earth the warmth OF love doth glow.
II thou shalt meet with falschood, foully dealt
Let this not to thy spirits depth be felt,
For all men are not liars; truth doth still
Abide on earth and work her righteous will.
II thou shalt trust TO friends who trcachery
plan,
Fall not thou ont of faith with every man;
For honor liveth; and thou yet shalt bless
The power that lies In n friends fnithfulness.
There is no evil that can thee befall,
II thou shalt save thy spirit from the thrall
OF bitterness, suspicion and despair,
And dwell above In higher, purer air.
Have faith in God; he bids tho tempests cease.
He lulls the rising waves Of Voc 10 peace.
Have faith in him who guides thy life and then
Thou shalt both love and trust thy fellow mon.

"FOr several years, in the spring months,
I used to be troubled with drowsy, tired

Jordan responded in magnificent style to
this test of his proves and accomplished
the heretofore unheard Of feat Of qualify

qualified in eight. Jordan scored thirty
points and won the half mile walk in Am

the mile run in 5m. 35s. When this last

Jordan is #. 10 in. tall, and weighs 15i

The Males Falling Behind.

Statistics show that the male popula.
ton of the civilized world is falling far.
ther and farther behind the female. Ac.
cording To the last British census, the ex-
cess of women and girls over men and
boys IN Great Britain is about 900, 900, an
Increase IN 10 years of nearly O,OOO.
lhe German census of last December
places the number of females about 8O0.-
OOO above that of the males in the king.
dom OF Prussia, or nearly three times the
excess of 20 years ago. There are 1,000,-
600 more females than males in the Ger
man empire In Sweden and Norway
the weaker sex" are in the majority by
250, 600, in Austria Hungary by 900 900,
in Denmark by 10000. and in all Euro
pean countries they outnumber the
males. In the United States, Canada,
and Australia the males are in the ma
jority, though not largely so, the esti-
mated excess of males in this country
being only 100000 or 100000 1t is
plain that but for immigration, which
furnishes a much greater number of men
than women, the latter would soon be in
the majority here. There is a large pre-
ponderance now of females in New Eng
land and in some other sections of the
United States, and if immigration were
to materially decrease undoubtedly the
surplus of males would soon disap-
pear in the whole country. In less civ
iliaed countries, where women are
lightly esteemed, it is otherwise, India
having about 100000 more men than
women, while the males largely prepon-
derate in China. The obvious deduction
is that the higher civilization is most
favorable to the increase of the female
sex, and this suggests the interesting
question whether civilization is doing the
best thing for the world in producing
this result A fact of hardly less inter-
est brought ont by the British census is
the marked decline in the marriage rate,
which has been almost steadily tending
/ downward for nearly two decades.
Meantime there has been an even more
decided decline in the birth rate, so that
not only is marriage decreasing, but
marriages are becoming less prolific on
the average. There is the same tendency
in this country, prevailing chiefly among
the better classes An excess Of females
in country is certain to have an un-
favorable influence on the marriage rate,
and the moral consequences of such q
state of affairs can easily be conceived

When the salvation Army Was started.

The Salvation Army has been in exist
ence just l3 years, 1t had its origin in
a sensational way in fhe English town of
Whitby, in the rough coal mining dis
trict of Yorkshire, where General Booth,
at that time Rev. William Booth was
doing humble missionary work. Eng
land was then in arms, expecting to
jump into the Russo-Turkish war. 1t
occurred to Booth that he might attract
a crowd by issuing a declaration of war
himself, SO he prepared one forthwith,
sprinkled it plentifully with halelujahs,
and posted 1000 copies of it about town.
The doyice tickled the British sense Of
humor, there was a "red hot, rousing
meeting" to quote General Booth,
"the penitcnt fell down in heaps" and
the Salvation Army sprang into life full
grown.

Heads Of More and Raleigh.

When the wise and witty Sir Thomas
More was beheaded, his head was stuck
on a pole on London Bridge, where it
was exposed for IA days, much to the
grief of his daughter, Margaret Roper,
who resolved to secure 1t. "One day,
says Aubrey, -as she was passing undR
the bridge, looking at her fathers head
she exclaimed: That head has lain many
time in my lap; would to God it would
fall into my lap as I pass underr She
had her wish, and it did fall into her
lap" Probably she had bribed one of the
keepers of the bridge to throw it over
just as the boat approached, and the ex-
clamation was intended to avert the sus-
picion of the boatmen. At all events,
she got possession of it, and preserved
IL with great care in leaden casket until
her death, and it is now inclosed in q
niche in the wall Of her tomb in st.
Dustan's church, Canterbury.
Sir Walter Ralegh's head, in red bag,
was carried to his wife, who caused it to
he embalmed and kept it with her all her
life, permitting favored friends, like
Bishop Goodman, to see and even to kiss
it. His son, Carew Raleigh, afterward
preserved it with similar piety. 1t is
supposed now to rest in the Church of
West Horsley, Surrey.
