Captain Doubassoff of the Russian
navy, "a friend and confidant of the
Gar" who is now in New York, is
quoted as saying that the United
States will soon lead the world with
its ships of war. 1t is pleasant to
have a little encouragement in this
direction from European experts. No
better guarantee of the peace of the
world can be had than the strong ma
val of great neutralp pow
er like the United States. With a
navy and encouragementfor our mer-
chant marine we can hold our fingers
on the pulses of the worlds trade and
stand as the great arbiter of nations.

Robert Burdette writes a touching
essay in the Ladies Home Journal
and gives much wholesome advice to
boys in regard to the beauty oflearn-
ing to tell the truth. "My boy" he
says, "the first thing you want to
learn-if you haven't learned bow to
do it already-is to tell the truth.
The pure, sweet, refreshing, truth.
The plain, simple, everyday, truth.
For one thing, it will save you so
much trouble. Oh, heaps of trouble.
And no end of hard work. And q
terrible strain on your memory. :"
But Robert omitted to explain that
to all rules there are possible excep-
tions. The Boston Advertiser re-
cords the following news item, which
illustrates the point in this case: A
preacher in Iowa lost his pulpit for
telling the truth. He was forcible
preacher, but deficient in education
and occasionally committed some
grave misdemeanors in grammar.
One Sunday while speaking rapidly
he made Il gross assault on Lindley
Murray. No sooner had the sentence
escaped his lips than he stopped and
said: 81 am aware that my educa
ton is deficient / regret that did
not have the advantage of good
schools when a boy. If | had been
morefortunate | wouldnow be preach
ing to more intelligent congrega-
ton" The minister told the truth.
but it was the last time he preached
in that church.

How the Crew Kills Time ON n LightshiP.
A number OF stores in Nantucket sell
what are know as lightship baskets.
They come in nests" n nest consist
ing of five or eight baskets OF various
sizes fitting one into the other. These
baskets are made only on the South
Shoal lightship. Their manufacture
has been attempted ashore, but has
never paid. This Is because there Is n
very narrow margin Of profit In them
FOR the lightship crew. who make them
chiefly for the purpose OF Willing away
the weary winter hours
In sum'aer the crew occupies its
spare time 'scrimshawing, an old
whaling term for doing ingenious me-
chanical work, but having aboard the
South Shoal the special meaning OF
preparing the strips OF wood and rattan
for the manufacture of the baskets In
winter. The bottoms are turned
ashore. The blocks over which the
baskets are made have been aboard
the ship since she was first anchored of
the New South Shoal In 1856. Tho
sides of the baskets are Of white oak or
hickory, filled In with rattan, and they
are round or oval, Of graceful lines and
of great durability, the sizes to a nest
ranging from pint to n peck and a
half
But notwithstanding these various
attempts at killing time, life on the
South Shoal lightship Is at its best
life Of deSolation, with only few gulls
or Mother Carey's chickens for visitors,
which seek refuge aboard in stormy
weather Gustav Kobbe In Century.

Liquor Selling IN New England.

W. G. Conf, of Hartford, in a let
ter to the Connecticut Home, gives
some of his observations while taking
a bicycle ride in New England. He
says:
81 saw drunkards enough in New
York, but from the time | entered
Vermont to the hour Wien l reached
Portsmouth, n. H., the men seemed
to be in their right mind. There was
no sign OF liquor in Burlington, Mont
pelier, Plainfield, Waterbury, nor in
any of the larger towns of the state.
[ have reason to believe that it was
sold at the Brigham House, Lisbon,
n. H., and an editor of a paper, who
rides the wheel, invited me to drink
at the Pemigewasset House, Plym-
outh. He asked me if | would take
some refreshments" after my 90
mile pull over the Franconia notch.
Not understanding him he 'elucidat-
ed AT Ashland the bar was locked,
but unlocked when you wanted a
drink.
At Portsmouth, the home of the
politician, Frank Jones' brewery, the
saloons are open and signs displayed
just as freely as they are in Hartford,
Notwithstanding theprohibitory law.
At Newburyport l wished to take a
bath Sunday, and the proprietor of
the Webster House went through all
sorts of motions to prepare the bath
room for me. | suspected that he
kept his Sunday supply somewhere
back of the tub. Beverly votes No.
and had an argument with the pro-
prietor of the hotel on the liquor
question, he claiming that Almy, the
New Hampshire murderer never drank
but Noticed that a bottle ofrum was
found among his refreshments in the
barn.
| am convinced that little liquor is
sold in Vermont, little more in west
ern New Hampshire, and consider
able on the coast; while in Massachu
sets and New York it runs freely. As

What's the matter with you? OH you

fused the Confederate Home. You want

big round dollar in your pocket that you

that the Legislature has refused the Home
you wlL have to spend it on your self.
Poor little fellow, you are not fooing any
one but yourself. Every one knows that
the Confederate Home was not just started

strike colored woman on the arm.
The husband of the woman demand
ed an apology. Green drew his pis-
toll and, fred at the woman, the ball
glancing her breast and stiking an
old negro named Nose Peacock in
the lead killing him instantly. Thus
enraged, the negroes and the shoct>
ing became promiscuous. Green es-
capped when he saw what he had done.
An angry mob followed him. When
two of the pursuers got in fifteen
yards of him Green turned and shot
at them, the ball passing by. They
then stopped him, but could not ar
rest him until they beat him into sub
mission. He was finally secured and
carried to Dublin and placed in Jail.
A negro woman was also among the
victims; she was shot in the side and
arms. The coroner held an inquest on
Peacock's remains, and the jury re-
turned verdict of willful murder.
