made some interesting statements con-
corning the work of the Reformed Church

he was born in San Francisco. where his

years ago.

sian ships recently in New York, says
the Times. The Russians mako OK
tensive use Of sails. The ABSENCE of
Russian coaling stations at various
points of the world makes it impera-
tive that the Russian Ships husband
their coal supply. To encourage the
commanders of Russian war ships to
use as little coal as pos siblc. tho Rus
sian ministry of marine, 1T is said,
makes provision for the distribution
in money among the officers and men
OF war ships of u certain percentage
of the value OF the coal saved. This
allowance goes to the messcs of the
officers and scamen. American naval
officers have noted ON more than one
OCCASION, on passing Russian war
ships at sea. that the latter were
ncar'y always under full sail. The
Ni:aitri Donskni, which visited New
York recently, is reported to have
sailed from the Siberian coast to the
west coast OF Europe. The Rynda
sailed from CrOnstadt to M%ontcyideo.
The Russians resort to coal only when
entering and leaving ports and when
going into action, or when they want
to make Il rapid passage. The Rus
sian ships while in American waters
had nc orcasion to use dry docks.
The two Italian cruisers. Giovanni
Bausan and Dagoli, being %unsheathed
vessels, were compelled to use dry
docks while here. Russian war
ships when departing from u Russian
port are fitted out with a view of
remaining at sea, if necessary, for
thee years without making port.
With this view even the most add
vanccd types of many of Russians
new ironclads are fitted with masts
and spars and carry, nearly ali of
them, the studding sail gear so
familiar thirty years ago on fast
American clipper ships.

Bright Lads Who Get Good Pay and Have
Easy Work.
OF all the 40 appointments under
the Sergeant-at-arms of the Unit ID
States Senate, those of the pages only
can be said to be nonpolitical. With
the beginning of the extra session
several of the pages will go out of Of
flee owing tn the fact that they have
reached the age limit. No boy can
be appointed "a page of the Senate
who is not IL years Of age, and no
boy can continue as a page who is 1G
years of age at the beginning Of a
session of Congress. 1t is a lucrative
position, and few Of the boys are not
sorry when their term has ended.
Usually four of the boys who are

is considered more desirable than
that of a page. Speaking of their

These are sixteen pages and eighty
eight Senators, so none of the pages

Sent Them About Their Business.
Ferdinand Hassler, the father of
the United States coast survey sys-
ten, was once waited upon by a UNI
mittee of Congress sent to inquire
into the progress of the work. The
committee reached New York and
wendell their way upstairs to the
room where Hassler was drilling his
classes and preparing them for work.
Hassler. who allowed no intruders,
met them at the door and inquired
their business. They answered that
they had come to investigate. "What
part of the work do you wish to in
spect?" inquired the Swiss mathema-
tician. Congress had no definite idea
on the point. "Then you had better
go and find out" returned Hassler,
as he shut the door in the face of the
astonishcd committee. The commit
tee looked at each other, and, on
second sober thought, concluded that
Hassler was about right, and quietly
wendell their way downstairs and
back to Washington.

overwork and Underworld,

Every one has heard of the danger
of overwork, yet few understand just
where the danger lies. A man can
hardly overwork himself if he takes
care of himself in other respccts-se-
cures a normal amount of sleep,
breathes pure air, takes exercise and
eats food moderately.
The main trouble is that the man
who is overworking is violating fun
damcntal conditions OF health. He
burns his candle at both ends.
With due care, a man of good
heredity is capable of safely doing an
almost incredible amount of solid
work. Mr.. Gladstone, at eighty
three, with no show of WEAKNESS,
carries the weight of the British EN-
pire. The celebrated John Wesley
did more work than almost any other
man of the last century; but he OBJ
served the laws of health, and, still
active, reached his eighty-eighth
year.
Much of the so-called overwork is
the ovcrwork Of worry, care, anxiety
and haste. These make the severest
draft on the vitality of the system.
We seldom hear of a Quaker's dy-
ing of ovcrwork, and yet they are a
very industrious people. The pupil
who has prematurely broken down
in his studies might have gone on
under even heavier loads If there had
been nothing to fret him in his home
surroundings, and competition, en-
aminations and scholarship markings
had nc place in our school system.
The fact is, work, and plenty of it, is
healthful in a high degree.
And this leads us to say that a lack
of work, with brain or hand, is highly
injurious. underworld may to as
harmful as overwork to the brain if
not to the body. Nations living in
conditions in which the means of
livelihood come almost without effort
are in every way feeble. Close con-
finement in prison tends to idiocy.
Further, where the mental facul-
ties are not called into action, the
moral also lie dormant, and the low
er propensities become all-control-
ling. In all ages the corruptions of
the higher classes are due to this
fact. Few worse things can befall
one than to have nothing to d.
