WHICHEVER WAY,

Whichever way the wind doth blow
Some heart is glad to have it so; :.
Then blow it east or blow 1t west
The wind that blows, that wind is best. "

A thousand fleets from every zone
Are out upon thousand seas
And what for me were fayoring breeze
Might dash another with the shock
OF doom, upon some hidden rock.
And so I do not dare to pray
For winds that watt me on my way,
But leave it to Higher VIII
TO stay or speed me-trusting still
That all is well, and sure that He
Who launched my bark will sail with me
Thro storm and calm, and will not fall,
Whatever breezes may prevail,
To land me-every peril past
Within His sheltering heaven at last.
Then whatsoever wind doth blow
Some heart is glad TO have it so.
And blow it east or blow it west.
The wind that blows, that wind Is best.l

The Teeth Tell If a Snakes VenOmons.

There is "a certain physiological diff
ference between the poisonous and
harmless snakes, which exists very
plainly in their manner of dentition.
All snakes are objects of aversion and
dread to mankind, SO much so that to
be bitten by snake has at times been
so fearful to the victim as to have pro-
duced death, although the snake was
harmless Such is the instructive
dread with which these reptiles are
thought of that it may be desirable to
have some easy mode of distinguish
ing the one kind from the other. This
distinguishing characteristic is af-
forded by the teeth. In all poisonous
snakes there are only two rows of
teeth, the fang, or fangs, being ar
ranged either within the two rows or
outside. The harmless snakes have four
distinct rows of teeth, and when the
bite shows this kind of wound and not
any single deeper or larger puneture,
there need be no apprehension New

REMEMBERED SONGS.


Ny love song of Scotland sang,
One merry, merry day,
And in my ears the pibroch rang,
heard the pipers play;
I saw the plaided clansmen meet
Blue was the morning sky
The heather blossomed at my feet;
highland king was I.
NV love song of Norway sang,
An old Germanic theme,
And where the mystic Eddas sprang
wandered In dream.
heard chant of Runic name,
Where Miners fountains shine.
And with the knights of Siegfred came,
An errant of the Rhine.
My love she sang a song of Spain:
wandered long and far,
And in the court of Charlemagne
watched the morning star.
listened to the redondel,
Tones of Leys d'amour,
The canzo and the pastorel-
was troubadour.
My love she sang song of love;
Her words were sweet and low.
As though the echoes from above
Had strayed to me below.
No more my fancy wandered free,
Where time and change have part;
The wide, wide world had come to me,
The morning of the heart.

American sailors on men DIVA wi

American sailors on men of-war who
desert in foreign ports cannot be ar
rested and returned This rule, ex-
plains the Boston Cultivator, is an
outgrowth of the contention of this
country on which the War of 1912 was
fought, the right of every man to
change his allegiance, and exemption
from interference by any foreign
power. Sailors on merchant vessels
who violate their contracts can be
held to them, but deserting from n
man-of-wa in foreign port, though
n more serious offence, cannot be pun

Some New York shops maintain at
times a curiously primitive messenger
service in the suburbs. A messenger
is dispatched by rail to some central
suburban station and starting thence
he delivers ON foot small packages of
goods to customers a mile or more
from the railway station. 1t is an ex-
pensive, and. 1aborious system, main
tanned to encourage trade from rap
idly growing suburbs.

The differences between city and
country ways have been illustrated in
n curious manner by OH expel iment of
the Postoffice Department. Under the
last administration about fifty villages
and small towns, ranging in populs-
tion from 800 to 1000 inhabitants,
were picked out for trial of the sys-
TEN of distributing mail matter by
carrier, as in large cities. At first
general satisfaction was manifested,
and the receipts of many of the offices
for while showed an increase, indi-
eating that the convenience stimulated
correspondence; but as the novelty
wore off, the residents very generally
tired of the change, and returned to
the old practice of going to the office
themselves for the mail. A majority of
the people would apparently rather
have their letters lie in the Office until
they call for them, aud thus have an
excuse for frequent visits to the centre
of local activity, than have their mail
delivered every day at their houses.
The carrier in such places is really
foe to social activity, as ''going to tho
postoffice" has always been recog.
nized means of mixing with men, and
its occasional Inconvenience is prefer.

WANT A Sill YER PRESIDENT.

The small silver States are clamoring for
silver man for president, and are taking it
for granted that the rest OF the country will
have 10 knock down-come to terms. The
Denver Republican, for instance, has this to
say regarding sturdy Republican who may
be looked upon in the light of a candidate:
"Senator Allison, of Iowa, has been put
forward as candidate for President in 1896
by the Republican convention of that State.
He may suit Iowa very well, but he would
get no support in Colorado or any other sill
yer State, unless he comes out fiat. footed for
the complete and immediate restoration Of
silver to the place it occupied in our coin
age prior TO the decentralization act of 1873"
BY what right does Colorado or any other
silver State assume the power Of dictation
There are few men owning silver mines
who have grown rich from lining opera
tons. Is the whole nation to bow down to
them? Is Colorado or Nevada to name
President and the great interest of the East,
vastly greater in every way, to surrender to a
handful of rotten boroughs9 Is the govern
ment to be forced to purchase the output OF
the silver miness Just as well insist upon
the purchase of every ton of the Maryland,
West Virginia and Pennsylvania coal mines.
If Colorado and Nevada and the other
silver States want to raise an issue with the
East, let them do so, for in a contest be.
tween honest and dishonest money a sound
and honest currency must win.

BRIGHTENING BUSINESS.

Notwithstanding the tedious and dis
hearlening delay Of the Senate in acting
upon the tariff bill, and the consequent de
lay in the revival of business, commercial
failures in the United States this year have
been II per cent. less than were reported
during the first nine months of 1898. The
comparison, too, Is made with period the
greater portion of which was prior to the
beginning of the panic.
According 10 Brsdstreets, 1--WE have {, 251
business failures this year. This is only
1856 more than we had during the first nine
months Of 1891" There have been several
other years, too, in the last decade in which
the number for the first three quarters ex
cetded $500. If allowance is made for the
growth of business and the Increase 10 the
number of business concerns in the country,
the increase in failures this year is not SO
large.
Compared with last years record the de.
crease amounts to 1889 failures, or II pei
cent as before stated. This decrease, toe
really belongs 10 the last three months and
the larger portion OF it to August and Sep
TENDER. Tie first quarter showed an in
crease and the second one slight decrease
the figures for the six menths being 6,52s
for this year and $3.50 for 1893. If the com
parison is confined to the third quarter we
find decrease of 2,l7S, a reduction of near
ly one half The weekly number of failures
has been for some time very little, ii any
above the normal.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1894-10-12

The greatest improvement, however, is in
assets and liabilities. For the nine months
there has been decrease of &c per cent. in
liabilities. The ratio Of assets 10 liabilities
has been reduced from 70 TO 81 per cent.
The normal ratio is about so or 81 per cent.
The liabilities for the last quarter were $685.
100000, as compared with $4,000, 900 in
1898, and the assets $14,000,0O0, against
$122, 100000 in the months of July, August
and September, 1893 The ratio Of assets
to liabilities during the last three months
was, therefore, just so per cent, or not above
the normal.
So far, then, as business failures are an
indicator Of the commercial and financial
condition Of a country, we may say that we
are as prosperous as we are ordinarily and
that business is as good as 1t was before the
panic of last year, while the general trade
reports show constantly Frightening out

,HPANS ADVANCE.

No greater or stronger impression has
ever been made by nation in modern days
than that which has fallen upon the world
by the brilliant achievements Of Japan on
land and sea- In the minds of many well
informed and thinking people it will be but
short time before the flag of "the land OF
the rising sun" floats from above the walls
of Pekin, and the Emperor of China is q
supplicant at the feet of the nation which
his people have so long hated and derided
There eau be no doubt that the unexpected
successes of Japan have been as wonder
full as was her sudden advance from semi
barbarism to civilization, and that she has
shown herself 10 be new power in the
Orient and q factor TO be reckoned in any
future congress of nations. And yet it is
done before there comes the final struggle
for supremacy.
If the war can be made short one Japan's
chances must, oil necessity, be better than
those of China. The latter has not only an
immense area of country, but vast popula-
uon, anu could carry on campaign win
far less exhaustion than could Japan. Out
of her very defects she might extract the
lesson of how TO conquer were it not that
her troops are demoralized by defeat, that
arms and ANN unition are lacking and that
the human resources on which she might
fall back are undiscipiined and unorganized.
Everything is favorable to an invasion of
China now, and Tor following up the ad
vantages which have already been secured,
and the only question is as to the manner
in which Japan will fight its way to final
victory.
The war is not yet ended, but everything
that has been done by Japan indicates an
almost supreme confidence in her own
strength and capacity, and complete
knowledge of the resources of the Chimes
in their own country.
