charges against him were without found

Undef the existing law. if an apothe-
cary sells liquor for beverage he is liza
Bile to fine and Imprisonment. Under the
proposed law he will be liable to the
same fine and Imprisonment and to lose
his druggist certificate also. The apoth-
ecary who wants to sell rum indiscrimi-
nately can't favor the new bill. And in
asmuch as a majority of the apotheca-
ries are in favor of it it would seem to
follow that majority of them do not
desire to sell liquor except for medicine.
And for that purpose we believe they
should have the right to sell.

THE STATE AND sEcTARIAN SCHOOLS

THE STATE AND SECTARIAN SCHOOLS.
In an article in the lions Advocate of
this week, entitled 1.-THE Roman Catho-

Rev. Henry M. King, D. D., lays down
the following fundamental PROPOSE
tions'' which he thinks should be rigidly
adhered to:
l.. Our public school system, on which tn the
preservation of our national life depend, shall
be main, aimed at all hazards.
2. School attendance up to certain age
shall b. compulsory upon all children. no mat

of morality shall be part of the prescribed

form its teachings, and bring forth fruits meet

that issue In a degraded moral tone and vicious
living.
We wish to call special attention at
this time to the proposition numbered 4,
which declares that not dollar from
the public treasury shall be appropriated
for the support of any sectarian institu-
ton, Catholic or Protestant. 1t has been
the practice heretofore in this State to
appropriate money to institutions under
sectarian control. At every session of
the legislature in late years sums of
money have been voted to great many
academies in various secti ms of the
State. These academies, or the most of
are institutions founded, and for the
most part fostered, by some religious
sect. 1t is true that there is very little, if
any, of sectarian teaching in them,
nevertheless they are recognized as Bap
list or Methodist or Congregationalist
institutions. Under the fundamental
propositions laid down by DR.. King they
are not proper subjects for State aid.
Yet the legislature has the power to
grant them aid, and so long as that pow
er remains the pressure will be such
that it will be used.

"DoN'T LOOK AT THE CLOCK"

ton is obvious.
An employe who measures ont the
time he gives to business by the min
ute, stopping in the midst of any work
on which he happens to be engaged
the instant the whistle blows, is not a
clerk to be depended on. just as he
watches him, realizing that he needs
it. There is no heart in such working.
The boy who starts in on business
career with no higher aim than to
make each day seem as short as possi-
BILE and to draw his salary on Satur-
day. is certain not to have his pockets
weighed down with an increase in his
pay.
Don't look at the clock, them. Time
will pass no moro quickly because of
your doing SO; the way to bring this
about is to throw such zealI and whole
heartedness into the discharge of your
duties that you will forget such lilni-
tations as time, which will then fly SO
swiftly that you will not note It's pas

TEE THREE CARAvELs OF COLUMBUS.
In the days of Columbus ves- -els were
generally called 'scaravels," and it of
considerable size for those times they
were called by the Spaniards naos.
When Queen Isabella determined to
help Columbus to make his voyage,
a royal order was sent to the city of
Palos to fit out three carayels and to
place them at the royal disposal. The
city made pretense of complying,
but it was so we'll known that the
ships were for Columbus's hazardous
venture into the terrible western ocean
that neither money nor force could
get them equipped and manned. Over
and over again the people were as
semblcd in the public square and the
order read with great ponp, but all
in vain.
Columbus, in his despair, begged
that the prisons be opened and the
convicts allowed to go with him.
Finally, ship-owncr of Palos, Martin
Alonzo Pinzon, was induced, by an
offer of large share of the rewards
in case of discoveries, to make an
active effort to fit out the expedition.
He was popular sea-captain and a
vigorous man of business, and it was
entirely due to him that Columbus was
able to set sail from Palos on his ever
memorable voyage. Pinzon con-
demned two of the caravels given by
the town, and substituted two stanch
vessels of his own. One was q
decked vessel of three hundred tons,
large enough to be called mao, and
the other was little thing with lateeR
sails, which was chosen on account of
her light draught, in case rivers had
to be ascended in the country they
expected to discover. The mao was at
first named the ssGallega," but they
renamed her the "Santa Maria"
Columbus took her for his flagship,
for he held an admiral's commission
from Ferdinand and Isabella. The
little lateen-rigged caravel was called
the s.Nina." OF the three caravels
offered by the town of Palos, the only
one which Pinzon considered seawor-
thy enough to accept was the .sPinta,'
boat about half as large as the Santa
Maria, and rugged like her. His
shrewdness in rejecting the others
was fully proved before the expedi-
ton reached the Canaries; for it was
discovered that the Pinta had been
tampered with. and had been pur-
posely weakened. A long delay in
the islands was necessary to repair
her.
Such were the vessels in which Col
umbus discovered America; one as
large as small schooner, and the
other two about the size of lighters.
Had he suspected the length of his
10. fney, or known Of the terrible
storms which can rage in the Atlantic
Ocesn, he never would have dared TO
venture out in craft so frail. -[St
