Monster Uni0nist Demonstration at Belfast
Copy OF the Home-Rule Bill Burned.
BELFAST, April "A monster Unionist
demonstration was held hero to-day. Mr..
Balfour. the Duke of Abercorn. the Mar
quis of Londonderry and other Unionists
were present. Upon arriving at the grand
stand. especially erected for the occasion.
the prominent visitors ascended the stand
and reviewed the procession. The mGrch-
ing mul&itude cheered vocifsrously as they
passed. and the Dublin students tore III
shreds and then burned and trampled upon
O copy OF the irish home-rule bill III front
OF the stand. while Mr.. Baifour smiled aud
nodded approval of the demonstration.
Cheer followed cheer as Mr.. Balfour adj
vanced TO the front of the platform. When
he began to speak his voice was lost In the
shouts of the multitude. Ho stood for five
minutes watching the waving hats and
handkerchief and waiting for the uprosr
TO cease and then while the audience took
breath he opened his address. After touch
ing on the history Of Ulster and praislng
the loyalty, tenacIty and bravery of the
men of Ulster. he Analysed the hOme-rule
bill in the manner slrendy adopted by him
in the House of Commons. Toward the
close of his speech he devoted his attention
to the probable effect that the bill. IL passed,
would have upon Protestant ireland. He
could not wonder, no said. that such u
SeS@ DHt ebJa'h ANes
coDcocted by Mr.. Gladstone had ex-
hausied the fore bearance of the Ulster
10y alists. He could not wonder that their
Indignation had broken over all bounds.
and that they felt ready to resort to ex-
treme measures for the defe nse OF their
rights. He would venture, however. to ap-
peal TO them to remember that Ulster did
not stand alone in the present c~onflict.
The men OF Ulster had not been
abandonded by Great Britain They
had trends in England who would
spare no efforts to save them from the fate
which had been planned for them by the
government. He believed that such o ca.
lsmity would be averted; yet the tyranny
of majorities might be found to be as bad
as she tyranny of kings. He could not de-
ny coDscientiOnsly that what was %justii-
able against o t~yrannlcal king, was, I'M.
der certain circumstances. j~ustitiable
against q t%yrannIcal majority. He trusted.
however. that such circumstance would
never arise.

Haxon of Great Waves.

The sea has in store one danger
that, the landsman never sees. Like
the yoyager he may receive q vlslt
from a cyclone, but he knows nothing
of the power and terror of the great
waves. Uniting in themselves the
force OF a flood and that OF a tor
nado, they are appalling and resist
less.
The experience of the Normannia,
which suffered severe damage from
the visit of one of these monsters or
the deem. recalls that of other yes
sells. But this wave was slight COM
nared with the waves that they have
encountered. While it injured only
several of the Normannia's crew, the
wave that struck the Italian bark
Rosina in October, 1888, swept every
man aboard but one into the sea; ne
escaped only because he was an inva-
lid below. A hundred persons lost
their lives from the wave encoun'
tered by the steamer San Francisco
in December, 1853. says the Rochester
Courier.
The height of these waves car
hardly be realized. The one encoun
tered by the Umbria five years agt
rose to the top OF her mast
head, fifty feet above the sea.
Several waves measured by capt
Riddle of the Celtic, in January
1878. rose to the height Of sevent
feet and moved at the rate OF twenty
Ave miles an hour. Equally hig
,, waves were observed by Admira
Fitzroy, of the English navy, OH TN

ssteelyard"? Most readers would re-
reply without hesitation that 1t must
have been invented as the name OF a
certain familiar instrument for
weighing, an instrument made OF
steel, and about three feet In length.
In point OF fact, however, the word
meant In the beginning nothing but
the yard, or court, In London, where
the continental traders sold their
steel. In this yard, Of course, there
was some kind OF balance for weigh
ing the metal-a steel-yard balance.
Language is full Of such cases.
aBlindfold" has nothing to do with
the act of folding something over the
eyes, but is "blindfelled," or struck
blind. "Buttery" has no connection
with butter, but is, or was, bot
tlery," place for bottles.
A .blundcrbuss" was not an awk-
ward or inefficient weapon, but on the
contrary was so terrible as TO be called
a "donderbus," that is to, say.
.thunderbox" or thunder barrel.

PRODUCTION OF contagious and infectious
diseases, vessels arriving from infected
foreign ports are to be kept out, United
States Consuls are required to report
the state Of health at such ports and to
notify the Marine Hospital Service OF
the departure of infected vessels, and
officers of State quarantine are empow-
cred to act in emergencies as officers OF
the national quarantine.
QUARANTINE STATIONS.
In this way the marine hospital serv-
ice and the Federal quarantine were
linked together. A National Board OF
Health was created in 1879, with limited
duties and prerogatives, but by the re-
fusal of Congress subsequently to pro-
vide for its expenses it ceased to nave
an active existence. By the act OF 1858
eight Federal quarantine stations were
established and placed under the con,
troll of the marine hospital service. All
| of them are now in active operation.
The stations themselves and the raml-
fed services connected with them form
the Federal safeguards which the
United States Government possesses
against foreign infection at this time.

five incompleteness OF the present sys-
TEN. and the lack OF harmony between
the Federal and State regulations and
the methods OF their execution. The
growing tendency toward Capitalization
carries with 1t the idea and purpose oil
making the national system paramount
and Independent of the State systems.
The law OF 1878, It Is true, gives extern
sive quarantine powers to the marine
HOSPITAL service. but these powers are
restricted by proviso that the national
quarantine regulations must not inter-
fere. with the State and local quaran-
tines. There is nothing In this proviso,

IA. v.l,evs n. Fertile rs Those OF west
ern America-Great Railroad system.
Siberia, coupled as its name Is with
stories OF Russian barbarlty, Is not
the barren, terrible land OF limitiess
deserts which fiction and the drama
have pictured IL. The building OF
the trans-Siberian railway and the
extension OF lines along the north
ern frontier of China will greatly
change the entire drama OF ciyiliza-
ton. The railroad from Vladi-
yostock to the Ural Mountains will
bring that great Russian naval sta
ton within fourteen days journey
OF St. Petersburg, and along this
route stations Will rapidly grow into
towns and offer opportunities Tor
new and striking development.
Russia's enterprise, says the Hart
ford Globe, stimulates that or CHINA,
not only as a matter Of competitive
ambition but for strategic reasons:
The railways now being surveyed
and completed within the Celestial
Empire are numerous, and to this
end many foreign engineers are EN-
Moved. Soldiers and convicts are
largely employed as workmen, thus
cbeapening the cost of labor as fal
as possible. The trans-Siberian rail-
way extends to a length OF nearly
6, 900 miles, aud it is expected to cos
5000, 900, 900. 1t is divided into si'
sections, each section comprising
three or more divisions, and the con
tracts for building is given to these
thus employing large number o
contractors for limited distances.
1t is a mistake to suppose that 81

Days OF small Things.

Long before the Revolution young
nrinter in Philadelphia, when he had
taken off his working apron at night,
used to sit porting over his dozen or
old volumes by freight. He soon
knew them by heart, and hungered
for more. But books were costly, and
he had but little money.
He had eight or ten COMMISSIONING
men who, like himself, were eager Tor
knowledge. Ranging his books on a
shelf. he invited his friends to do the
same, that each of them might have
the benefit of them all.
Ben Franklin thus laid the founda-
tion of the first circulating library,
and now one Of the largest In TINS
country.
Thirty years ago kindly German
pastor, moved TO pity by the condl-
ton of the homeless orphans in the
city in which he lived, took three oil
them into his own home, appealing
to Christians for aid to feed and
clothe them, and to educate them
into useful, good citizens.
