A recent census bulletin shows the
condition of transportation by water in
the United States in all its branches,
except that of canals, for the year 1889.
The totals given below are indications
of the importance of this industry.
The transportation fleet of the United
States at the beginning of 1890, with
the exception noted above, numbered
no fewer than 25,540 steamers, sailing
vessels and unrigged craft, whose gross
tonnage was 1858, 676 tons, and whose
estimated commercial value stood at
$215, 069, 1906 Other totals show that
during the preceding year the freight
movement by the whole operating
American fleet amounted to liz, l10, ABB
tons of all commodities. Others show
that the number of persons of all classes
employed to make up the ordinary
or complementary crews of all Operat-
ing vessels of the United States, ex-
elusive of pleasure craft on the Allan
tic coast and Gulf of Mexico, numbered
LOG, 436, and that the total amount paid
out in wages was no less than $685.
3O5. The Oregonian says that there
are other totals of an equally interest
ing nature, but enough figures have
been quoted to show how extensive
and weighty an industry that of
transportation by water as conducted
by vessels of American ownership
really is. The Pacific coast feet num-
bered l,S42 vessels, 53l being steam.
The gross tonnage amounted to AL 1899
tons, and the freight movement of the
year was 5,74l, $40 tons. The wages
paid during the year on vessels on this
coast amounted to 6,l27,70l.

Trains for Thought.

There are times when it seems proper
to draw the line even on fashions in
women's dress, and the state sanitary
council of Hungary has drawn it.
1t some time since prohibited the
wearing of long, sweeping trains by
women walking in the streets, for the
reason that such trains spread infectious
diseases. The prohibition was obeyed
in Meran, in the Tyrol. But the Tyrol
is in the country, and in the mountains,
and not so many women wore trains
anyhow. The short, convenient peasant
skirt is the vogue there among the ma
jority Of the women, 80 it was no hard
ship for them to obey the order of the
state board of health. But in Vienna it
was different. There the ladies openly
defed the sanitary council and swept
the fashionable thoroughfares with their
tapping skirts. Then the sanitary com-
Gil applied to the imperial government.
of Austro- Hungary for an order prohib-
iting these trains in the streets.
The sanitary council set forth that the
trains sweep up the filth and dust in the
streets and convey it into the grandest
private homes in the city, ON the persons
of the ladies. This dust and filth con-
tains the germs of all the infectious dis
eases known to man. The microbes thus
had magnificent opportunity to produce
an epidemic of any kind of deadly all
ment. There was an alarming menace
to the public health in these trains that
lap up infection at every step and convey
it everywhere; therefore the council
prayed that they might be abolished.
Smallpox scales, typhus germs, the
sputa of consumption, the poisoned
saliva conveying microbes of the foulest
diseases known to man are some of the
matters that these fine ladies gather and
sift over their own delicate skin and
into their lungs and carry home with
them to infect their families. The lady
who escapes an eruption of skin disease
upon her feet and ankles will be fortu.
nate. 1t is indeed menace to public
health, this train, that laughs as it laps
up all nastiness. A lady died not long
since from blood poisoning got from
dyestuffs in her hose. If so slight 9
thing could cause death, then the case:
of fatal blood poisoning will be mum
bered by the thousand If this train
wearing fashion continues.

The Pleasantest Life.

Probably real happiness is too much
to expect in this life. At any rate the
only happy individual is the one who
has his happiness in himself, then moth
ing can make him miserable. But for
ordinary mortals little let up from
misery is all that can be expected, and
this can be obtained nowhere so effectu-
ally as in country life.
One may be either on the farm or in
small town, but in any case here is the
most healthful, restful life that can be
lived. 1t is fact that those among us
who read most and think most are the
country people. In the fevered rush
and scramble of the city there is no time
for working out problems of thought.
There is no time even for reading The
city man skins his paper to catch the
local news and that which concerns his
particular business, whatever it is. In
the country the man really thinks. Our
greatest, most gifted men and women
in every walk of life have been almost
without exception born and bred in the
country. There, too, they retire to
think out their noblest thoughts, to do
the best work for mankind.
Apart from greatness, however, when
we consider the mere pleasure of living,
it is outside of the great city that most
Of it is to be found.

American Hnmor.

The humor of the stage Yankee has
passed away, The next phase of Ameri-
can humor was that developed i'll the
west. All our later humorists have
been of this western type. Bill Nye, M.
Quad and Mark Twain are notable ex-
amples. But this school, too, seems to
be passing away. 1t is not apparent
that any new type of humor is appear
ing to take the place of that exemplified
by writer's now in the field. Are we to
have no more fun?
But the exquisite humor of this type
now passing is Incompatible, Lincoln
had it and Tom Corwin had it. 1t bub-
bles over from the thoughts of men less
known but equally humorists in their
way. OF these the late Emory Storrs,
of Chicago, was a marked example. Jol-
ly, careless, gifted, he was a typical
American of the west He was, besides,
nearly always in pecuniary difficulties.
When Lord Chief Justice Coleridge Wis
tied America, Mr.. Storrs gave him a
banquet in Chicago that president
might have felt honored to share AS
usual, Storrs was deep in debt, but lit
tie did that trouble his light heart.
Just as the distinguished party were to
sit down to the banquet, however, came
a thunderclap. The sheriff levied ON the
feast itself. AT the dining room door he
and his minions stood like a flaming
sword guarding the entrance to para
disc. What was to be done? His high
mightiness, Coleridge, could not be in
suited. The sheriff was implacable.
Finally some of the millionaire guests
were obliged to go down into their own
pockets and haul forth the money to
satisfy the man of the law. Then he
departed peaceably and let the merry
feast go on.
Nothing daunted though was the
merry soul of Emory Storrs. In the
very midst of the dismay and confusion
he remarked coolly: ''The sheriff has
no reverence for anybody or anything.
He has even levied on the Lords
supper"

If the wooden mill subsidy is not
raised it will be useless for some months
to try to interest the most public
spirited and progressive men in the

hart proposition is an admirable one
in every way and property owners will
make serious mistake If they fail to
take advantage of 1t. The limit of

expired. The promoters of the enter
prise are awaiting an answer 1t is of
far more importance to us than it is to
them that we say to them "come, the

The Rights of a Pastor.

An unusual question came up recently
before the officers of a Methodist con-
gregation in Rochester, Ind. The pastor
of the church was opposed to spiritual
ism. He attacked it from his pulpit
with, as it were, both the sword of the
Lord and of Gideon, according to the
report. He censured spiritualists in no
measured terms, and limited of dark do
ing in dark circles. The spiritualists
of Rochester felt outraged There are
now a million spiritualists in the world,
and considerable number of them are
found in every town and village Often
they are among prominent citizens, as
happened in the Rochester case The
editor of the Rochester paper is an out
spoken spiritualist, and his fellow be-
levers naturally found their spokesman
in him through the columns of his
paper. The result was fight. 1t cul-
minated finally in the pastor publicly
announcing that certain Methodist
ladies who were spiritualists would be
dropped henceforth from the roll of
membership in his church. The outcry
was then greater than ever.
May spiritualists, for the reason that
they are spiritualists, be dismissed from
Christian church membership? Further,

An Admirable Project.

The university of Pennsylvania has
opened a school for the study of Amer
lean history and institutions which
promises to be popular. The school is
intended for those who propose either
to teach American history or to go into
law or public life. The history courses
include American history proper, the
study Of the people and institutions,
the colonial, federal and state govern
ments, political and financial history,
constitutional history and law, both
state and federal, and modern European
history. There has been one scholar
ship founded in the school already. 1t is
the gift of Mr.. Charles E. Bushnell, Of
Philadelphia, and is open only to grad
yates of the central high school of
Pittsburgh. The library of the school
Of history has over twelve thousand
volumes collected by Profs. McMaster

and screaming murder" dashed from
a cigar store into one Of the principal
streets, followed by another yelling
wildly and brandishing Ratchet The
thief had snatched from the pursuer's
mouth a fine cigar upon being told by
the cigar dealer that it was the last one
of certain brand he had in stock.
This act made the man furious, and he
followed and shot the thief. The next
day the scheme was made known be-
fore q magistrate, when the victim tes-
titled that he had bribed doctor to
say he was fatally wounded. All the
papers gave prominent soace to the
supposed fatal ARRAY and published the
name of the brand of cigars. Verify
the advertising man is ever on the alert
seeking whom he may hornswoggle.

PROTECTION PARADOxEs.

That taxing an article makes it
cheaper.
That making an article cheaper en-
ables its manufacturer to pay higher
wages.
That taxing raw material cheapens
cost to manufacturers and lowers prices
to consumers.
That q tariff paying $175, OOO, 900 a
year into the public treasury does not
increase the prices of the things taxed
to produce this sum.
That foreigners pay the duties, and so
largely support our government, but
that out of mercy to them the Reed
Mckinley congress spent only 81 ,OOO,-
DOC, 900.
That the price of farm produce has
gone up under McKinleyism while the
cost of living has gone down.
That untaxing foreigners only is "reci-
procity."
That high tariffs make high wages in
the United States, but leave wages in
every protectionist country in Europe
lower than in free-trade England.
That our manufacturers produce
staple articles more cheaply than they
can be made abroad, but that we need
high tariff to enable them to do it.
That the older the infant industries
grow the more protection they need.
That party having more than 6,OOO,.
600 voters, nine-tenths of whom are
workingmen, is an "enemy of labor"
That the protected manufacturers pay
large sums into the republican cam
paign fund, and maintain lobby-agente
and subsidized newspapers to defend
high duties, solely to raise wages in the
United States.
