\ Foolish Step.

Out-and- out bulldozing properly de
scIibes the policy which tie North Allan
tic Steamship Association, otherwise
known as the Foreign Steamship Trust,
has adopted to coerce the American peo-
pie into amending their domestic legisla-
ton for the benefit of this alien Conn
bine. The falling off in the immigrant
traffic under our new regulations has de-
pIived the members Of the association of
some OF the heavy profits OF their steerage
business, and to get even with The Yam
KEGS they now threaten to cancel their
contracts for special excursion rates from
Europe to the Columbian Exposition next
summer. and to increase to prohibitory
figures the regular saloon and second
class passenger fares. That is the action
which the steamship managers in the pool
are reported. in cable dispatch from
London, to have taken. If these imperi-
Gus Britons and Teutons will only look
back hundred years OF SO in their family
history they will discover that the Yam
KEGS are not so easily coerced.
As described, the action of the associat-
ed companies means nothing more than
this: ''RelaN your rules and let us flood
you with as many immigrants as we can
bring OF we will make your fair failure.
lHeIe is NOT lnuCn question as TO now CnlS
impudent threat will be received. A good
deal of interest has been aroused in Eu-
rope by the exposition. Special rates of
transportation have been offered by the
steamship companies, and a good many
large excursion parties, especially in Eng
land have been organized to take advan-
tage of them. Now, to vent their pique
against the American Government, the
companies included in this combination
propose to repudiate their agreements
with their patrons. Perhaps English law
and the disappointed eNcursionists will
have something to say about this. Instead
of securing a relaxation of present regu-
lations, and dissuading Congress from
taking new steps to restrict steerage traffic
in the spring, with a view to the exclusion
of cholera, the arrogance OF the steamship
companies will have precisely the opposite
effect. 1t may have another Il suit, which
the foreign monopolsts may not relish. 1t
will give the American people forcibe
reminder of the unpleasant truth that the
entire control of the transatlantic trade is
now vested in Liverpool, Bremen, Ham
burg, Havre and London. and it will in
crease their determination to establish
competing lines of steamships under the
American flag. Boston journal.

Historic Castine.

At recent meeting of the Maine His
torical Society Dr. Charles E. Banks read
paper, prepared by DR.. George Wheeler
of Castine, on "Fort Pentagoet, or the
French occupation of Castine.''
The great Importance of the French post
was the first French settlement in the
United States, and if it had not been des-
troyed by the English would probably
have caused the settlement Of the whole
country to the east of the PenObscOt at
least. The claims of the settlement on
Mt. Desert were discussed and it was
shown that the settlement there was not
permanent.
Plans of the settlement and the neigh
boring land were shown, showing that
Niche Bigaduce, the French post estab-
lished in 1929 was undoubtedly Castine.
This was captured in 1855 by French adj
venturers under D. Aulnay who held it I'M
til 1864. The French captured it back
again and held it internationally until as
late as 1740. Fort Pentagoet was built to
enforce the French claim to the territory
in Castine, Brooksville, Brooklin, Penob
scot and the neighboring towns. The
plans were shown, taken from records of
the French marine department. Ruins
now existing give no idea OF the size OF the
fort, which must have been at least 800 feet
square. The ruins measure only 70X1S
feet and are probably only the magazine
and part of the barracks. Several cellars
and we'll and pavements have been found
outside the line of the ruins, but undoubt-
eddy within the limits OF the original
VIZ # 1a ,ly IL
the works have been worn away by the
action of the sea. The question OF the To-
cation Of d Aulay's house and mill was
discussed at some length.
President Baxter remarked that al
though this locality was perhaps the most
interesting on the coast of Maine, scarcely
ANYTHING definite was known about it.
Rev. H. O. Thayer of Limington want
ed to know if any one knew how deep the
pavements referred to were below the sur
face. He thought that being known
would throw light on the Pemaquid pave
ment question.
Rev. DR.. Burrage described visit to
Castine. He thought that the pavement
was at least four feet below the surface,
but that it seemed to have been an artiti-
cia fill so that it was valueless as hstori-
cal evidence.
Gen. John Marshall Brown suggested
that when the paper was printed the plans
be published on a reduced scale and that
copies of the documents in the French
marine department be secured to accom-
pany it. Gen. Brown thought that some
steps should be taken by the society look
ing to the securing of this spot per-
manent State reservation FOR the benefit
OF students in history. Gen. Brown also
spoke of the great ease with which evi.
dences of human occupation are covered
up when one population gives place to an
other and thought that buried cellars and
dried wells We're not evidences of great
age.
On motion of Gen. Brown the standing
committee was directed to take such steps
as they deemed wise to secure the site of
the ruins of the old fort at CaStine as a
permanent reservation.
DR.. Banks called attention to a water
way marked on the plan, the purpose of
which was in doubt.

Out Wonder in the moonlight, wherein God s.
Acre hes,
Go angels walking to and fro, singing their
lullabies;
Their radiant wings are folded and their
eyes are Blended low,
As they sing among the beds whereon the
flowers delight to grow:
sleep, oh, sleep
The shepherd guardeth His sheep,
Fast speedeth the night away.
Soon cometh the glorious day:
Sleep weary ones, while We may
Sleep, oh, sleep
The flowers within God's-Acre see that fair
and wondrous sight,
And hear the angels singing to the sleepers
through the night:
And, 10! throughout the hours of day those
gentle flowers prclong
The music of the angels Ill that tender slum-
ber-song.
''Seel,, oh sleep,
The Shepherd loveth His sheep.
He that guardeth His flock the best
Hath folded them to His loving breast
So, sleep ye now and take Your rest
Sleep oh, sleep
From angel and from flower the years have
learned that soothing song,
And with It's heavenly music speed the days
and nights along:
So, through all time, whose flight the Shep
herds vigiis glorify,
God's-Acre slumbereth in the grace of that
sweet Lullaby:
sleep, OH, sleep.
Tie Shepherd loveth His Sleep
Fast speedeth the night away,
Soon coneth the glorious day;
Sleep, weary ones, while ye may
Sleep, oh, sleep"

The New Year Minuet.

1t was danced in the hall by the fires red
glow,
For the palms hid the lamps at the side,
And each form was outlined in the floor be-
While the shadows We're spread far and
wide.
But the shadows We're misty-a softened
In accord with the slow melody.
The light of the fire drove the dark lines
away,
While it lent all a sweet mystery.
Both dancers We're courtly and figures of
grace,
Yet the maid held my fancy alone;
The glow gave blush to her beautiful face
In her dark eyes fairer light shone.
And then as she curtsied, so stately. so slow,
With the grace of an age that is past,
1t seemed like a dream of the long long ago
Like dream that knew could not last.
So stately, so slow, was each step that she
made,
And SO graceful the head that she bent:
The old~fashoned FAM that at times cast a
shade,
Such AN air of true elegance lent.
The place of the dance gave place to my
thought,
And dreamed of the days that are dead
The spell of the dance was by sorcery wrought
And the hlrrNlng modern days fled.
II was peact--the sweet rest of the oden day
When all idols We're not overthroWn:
When ROMANCE still lived, and as king Love
held sway,
Before Mammon to ruler had grown.
And all those who watched We're bewitched
hy the dance.
And they dreamed till the measure was
Ger
To-day was forgot in the short backward
glance
And the charms of the day O. lie before.

The Raised Edge of a Coin.

The smooth raised edge around the face of modern coins, and inclosing the device as a frame incloses a picture, not only adds great deal to the beauty of the piece, but serves a double utilitarian purpose, first to protect the designs from wear, and second to afford horizontal surface so that the coins may be piled up vertically one on top of another without danger of toppling over. As soon as the raised edge is worn from a coin it loses its clear beauty of design and fast degenerates into a mere char acterless disk of metal.
 Owing to the long rest which metallic currency had in this country during the reign of greenbacks and shinplasters United States coins are remarkably clear cut and well preserved. Even coins minted before the war retain part of the milling. New York Sun.
