Hill furnishes an interesting account of the
career and services of the late r. Ii. Dana
Jr. whose Two Years before the Mast, is
second only to Robinson Crusoe as book
for boys. Miss Mary 81. Leonard writes
sensibly and with much discrimination Of
Religion in Public Schools. Her essay is an

Christianity is moral, not mechanical, and
eliminates in the character of Christ Prof.
Egbert Smyth discriminates and describes
the leading types of the Christian Life,
Greek, Roman and American. The Greek

The bette noir Of the Cincinnati convention
was the money power, and Senator PETER
declared that this must be killed at all haz.
ards. 1t was to accomplish that object that
the plank in'the platform demanding the
issue of money direct by the government was
put in. 1t would be entertaining to have
Mr.. PETER explain how that is to bring
about the desired result. The Greenbackers
years ago were in love with this remedy, but
Its mods operdndi none of them have salts
factorily explained. Why the money power,
the complaint against which is that they
have monopolized most of the money in ex-
istence. should be crushed by having more
money created for them to monopolize Is one
OF the mysteries which is unfathomable to
the common mind. The history Of unlimited
issues of money the world over has invari-
ably been that they squeezed the poor. but
such men as PETER seldom pay any attention
to the teaching of experience. They evolve
their ideas Of finance out of their own ad-
died brains. If it were possible to put their
schemes to the test without involving tens of
thousands of innocent, though misguided,
people, who are caught by their persuasive
ness, in distress and perhaps ruin, it would
be good thing to put them in practice for
while.

Sir John Macdonald's illness is serious
enough to give rise to some discussion as to
his successor, in case he should be unable to
continue to lead the Conservative party.
The two names most prominently men toned
are Sir Charles Upper and Sir John Thomp-
son. The loss of Macdonald's leadership
would be an exceedingly serious blow to the
Tories. He is by far the astutest politician
that Canada has produced ina quarter of a
century. and to-day he is head and shoulders
above anybody in his party. Besides he is
generally popular with the people. notwith-
standing the abuse heaped upon HIM by the
opposition. 1t is very much to be doubted
If any other leader could have pulled the

A carload Of beef being sent by the Maine
Central railroad attracted the attention Of a
reporter who received the following informa-
ton from u train hand: THAT beef is being
shipped to Boston," remarked a train hand
by old Uncle Gid Wells, of Clinton. Per.

he can't help sending off little lot of beef

Years ago he and two other brothers were
the biggest cattle buyers in Maine and none
were better known at the Brighton market.
In those days there were no railroads, and
they used to drive thousands of cattle and
sheep to Boston from Pishon's Ferry, which
was the cattle center of Maine. Once Uncle
Gid drove through flock of over 5000 sheep.
After the Maine Central was built he used
TO ship by rail from so to 30 cars of the live
stock every week to Massachusetts. Beside
cattle and sheep, he has been great buyer
