Getting the Proper Foundation.
81 believe the great thing to do with
children is to first find out their natural gifts
and aptitudes. If they show musical in
stinct and aptitude for music, then set them
to learning what music means, of what it is
composed, how to read il Understandings
before they try to sing it. To me it is SIM
ply useless, this attempting to sing without
the musical foundation! And the superficial
smattering can never sustain one-oh! They
will find 1t out for themselves aftera while
those unqualified ones who try to sing before
knowing how TO read.

CHAPTER TX.
THE DEPARTURE.

Twelve hours had passed since the in
trepid five had been hurled to the earth.
This is speaking metaphorically, for the
earth was covered, perhaps with thousands
of feet OF glacier, and only here and there

and rock; whether of island or of promon-
tory none could say.
The sun shone unblinkingly. 1t was hot

felt as if he were tanning. He had waited
with admirably feigned composure tine de-
cision of the tutor as to their latitude and
longitude. This calculation was not SO easy
as at sea. They stood upon the edge of the
huge Polar Plain. The earth is fattened at
the poles, and where one can only see the
distance of quarter of a degree in the At
lantic, here one could, with a telescope, OBJ
serve three and half times that distance,
provided the plane of vision were unob-
structed. Thus an observation taken from
a height might, on clear day, extend to
degree and half or to the enormous sweep
of go miles.
At least, after six different calculations,
the result was announced. 1t was awaited

The occasional visits OF DR.. Thomas
r. Slicer to the pulpit of the First Con-
gregational Church, which he so ably
filed until recently, afford his friends
an opportunity to watch the growth OF
thought and the broadening Of mind OF
one of the most liberal ministers OF the
progressive school of New England Uni
tarianism.
The sermon of the past two Sundays
will be found in brief on another page
in this issue. The discussion of the
text, 1.-The Inspiration Of Religion
shows DR.. Slicer to be the same Catho-
lie spirit, the same idealistic thinker
and the same deep student as when he
was last heard here. The advance OF
ethical reasoning. the growth OF relig-
Ious faith and the marvellous discoveries
of science have, as DIR. Slicer well
points out, ceased to be diverging
subjects of study and have become one
in purpose and undertaking in the great
aim of ministering to the advance of
Christian religion. The most recent
and greatest debt which religion owes
to science is the elimination in current
thought of the idea of the reconciliation
of the two. They no longer need to be
reconciled. The use Of the word is i'm
proper. Their perfect harmony, has al
ways existed, but the recent develop
ments of science have made unity COM
plete and universally acknowledged.
1t is a line of thought particularly at
tractive to the liberal mind, and DIR.
Slicer's exposition of it may well be
termed mastery.

upon an extradition treaty with the

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The situation in PROVIDENCE in money
reflects the general situation in New
York and Boston only in general way.
Rates last week were slightly stronger,
and the week opens unchanged. The
good bank statement, however, should
have its effect in lessening rates this
week in large money centres. The large
banking capital invested, the payment
of interest on deposits and the limited
amount of deposits make it necessary
for local banks to keep closely loaned
up." AS result our local rates are al
ways higher than in Boston or New
York. There is very little money on
hand in local institutions.
The week past has shown no marked
difference in the stocks. There has
been some notable legislation or rather
lack of it. The determination by the
council that it is inexpedient for the
city to erect its own lightning plant has
had little effect upon Narragansett stock
because the latter company has con-
sented to stand by the decision of an
arbitrating committee in regard to price.
The trolley bill and the subway bill are
still pending. The success of the Amer
lean Screw Company in securing patents
to cover its completed process of wood
screw manufacture adds another to the
already numerous and valuable patents.
Taken as whole the strong and ad-
vancing character Of our local stock list
is fact of greater moment than might
at first be thought. There is as mat
ter Of fact now scarcely weak stock on
the list.
In general business trade is quiet.
There is an excellent movement in pro-
visions. Print cloths are strong, and
the same is true of most manufactures
of cotton and wool.
Outside Of the State the week has
shown some improvement. There is a
better demand for dry goods; in the
West hardware aud agricultural pro-
ducts are in demand. In every depart
ment there is a promising outlook for
fall trade but as yet there is no change
in prices except in bar iron, which has
advanced 81 per ton at Chicago.
The definite settlement of the silver

opponents of the Anti-option bill, the

THE WRECK OF THE ALvA.

w. X. Vanderbilts steam yacht Alva,
which was sunk yesterday off Nnl-
tucket in the path of passing vessels,
was one of the very finest pleasure ves-
sells ever built, il not the finest. She
was perhaps less expensively handled
than Mr.. Gould's famous Atalanta,
which cost her owner 5000 per month
while in commission, but she was better
equipped for ocean sailing, was perfectly
seaworthy and had made cruises to
the Mediterranean and other distant
points. In this she resembled sames
Gordon Benefits Namouna and Lord
Brassey's Sunbeam, though larger than
either. On the whole, she was probably
the finest type extant of the high class
pleasure yacht designed for cruising
rather than racing. She was familiar
object at many of our coast resorts,
especially Newport.
Considering the cost of the Alva,
which with her fittings may have
reached million dollars, it is somewhat
remarkable that she was not
more carefully handled. She seems
to have sunk within few minutes
after the collision. If that accident had
happened in deep water or in storm,
all on board might easily have perished.
Her compartment bulkheads were not
closed. Apparently they never were

There is food for thought in the Gen.
sus Bulletin No. 1s2, recently published,
on homicide in 1890, and its careful
classification of observations upon the
murderers in Jail on June I, 1890, is rich
in suggestiveness to the reformer and
the humanitarian.
The inquiry concerns 1885 prisoners,
only 3S3, or 5.35 per cent. of whom
were women; 4,425 were white, 2.739
negroes, 94 Chinese. Japanese and 92
Indians. OF the 4, 425 whites 3, 3,157 were
born in the United States, 1918 were
foreign born and the birthplace of 55
is unknown. In these figures it is
notable that the number of negro muir
derers is very large proportionally, but
that foreign-born whites do not present
an unfavorable showing in comparison
with natives. ~f
Nearly one-half the prisoners-3, ,615--
had never been married. The widowed
were 703, the divorced 144. Exactly
one-third of the murderers could
neither read nor write. More than four
fifths have no trade. The foreign born
and their children have much more gen.
orally acquired a. trade than the native
whites, and the native whites than the
negroes, rather disheartening COM
parison, confirming the theory that too
many American boys are growing up to
idleuess for lack Of regular employment.
So far as known, among these men and
women the total abstainers were 1889 T;
occasional or moderate drinkers, $500 ;
drunkards, 1,267. That the teetotaller
murderer should appear in such num-
bers is rather a surprise, and shows that
some people drive very. bad bargain
with the devil when they seek TO
Comp und for sins they are inclined 20
by damning those they have no mind to.
An interesting note is that on lynch
ings, of which, in 1850, 40 occurred In

North Central division, "a in the South
Central and II In the Western. The
