Mr.. Brooks Trunk.

Among the many fine traits of Phillips
Brooks character were those of kindness,
| a consideration for all and lack of self
ishnesS as to his own comfort or conTen-
fence. An illustration of this is given
by gentleman who was once fellow
traveller of Mr.. Brooks on journey to
Bar Harbor.
They went by boat, changing at Rock
land in the early morning for the Mount
Desert steamer, which leaves as soon as
possible after the arrival of the Boston
boat. Mr.. Brooks baggage consisted of
a small travelling bag and a steamer
trunk. On landing at Rockland he look
ed about for an expressman to transfer
the trunk to the next wharf, onlya short
distance.
The only man there who seemed at all
inclined to earn a quarter was lame and
had sort of wheelbarrow, in which he
assured Mr.. Brooks he could easily man.
age the small trunk
MIR. Brooks looked at the poor cripple
for moment, and then handing him the
bag said: ''All right. You just run along
with this bag, and I'll manage the trunk. %
And taking the steamer trunk by grasp
on the strap he walked toward the Bar
Harbor boat, followed by the lame man,
who was glad to earn his money so east
ly, but was not aware that the gentle
man carrying the trunk was Phillips

A highly respectable and widely re-

a Simple Fire Escape.


q simple, easily procured, inexpen-

upper stories may be found in a stout
duck sack and a strong MANILA rope
The sack should be deep and wide
enough TO hold several persons and have
rope well bound around the top to
which the rope bail is attached. If no
appliance be provided to hold stout
sail across the window on the inside.
then several wraps must be taken around
some article of furniture. wife and
children dumped into the sack, the hus-
band paying out the rope and letting
them down. The sack is then drawn
mp, when the remaining occupant goes
into the sack with the slack end of the
rope, and paying it out let's himself
down. Rope and sack sill pass unhurt
past considerable sheets of fame from
windows below, and if occasionally
treated to q strong solution of alum wa
ter, or even strong brine. are of difficult
ignition. The deep sack dispels the feel

height and also protects frons fame i'll

have strong staples into winch rail

rope enough to allow all the paying out
and pulling up to be done by some one
on the ground. Private instructions
should be in every room, and each oc
cupant should be made familiar with
the working. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

II deep draught vessels on open wa
ters like the Great Lakes cannot secure
all the business from railways that
charge (making allowance for distance)
ever three times as much as the Xessels,
certainly such vessels in restricted wa
ters cannot compete either with the rail-
ways or with the great tows that are
stlIl competing with railways In the
Eastern United States and in Europe.
Such inability to compete, on the part
of deep draught vessels inland, where
no immense inducements are offered ia
yoring the ocean vessel, is one reason
why the combined tows and railways
have driven ocean vessels off every
river having at its mouth a seaport
anywhere nearly equal to the up-river
port.
We find the railways from Chicago
that parallel the great lakes competing
for and securing business in the follow

There Is a good deal Of hair splitting
done by the advocates of inland sea-
ports, as to the Mount OF actual In
land penetration towards the heart OF
the country and towards the producer,
In the case of existing seaports. The
distance inland, as measured at right
angles to the general coast line, Is in
significant in most cases. At Ham
burg. for instance, the real coast line
Of the great mass OF land is a line
drawn from the mouth Of the Elbe
nearly eastward to Lubbock bay, and
thence northeastward. The Danish
peninsula counts for nothing, as re-
CARDS penetration Of land. Now Ham
burg is only 25 miles from such a gen.
eral coast line, which represents all her
penetration towards the general body
of producers. To secure this, the vessel
runs nearly parallel with This general
coast line sixty miles, and at the END Oh
the Journey inland, is not much better
off tina when 1t begun its journey, sc
far as nearness to the producer Is con-
cerned. 1t Is evident that other rea-
sons have operated In such cases, Oh
purely local ones not related to the
great mass OF land now reached by
rail, such as local harbor, shelter, and
small areas early developed contiguous
to the river. At Glasgow, also, the real
coast line runs from Fairlie Head, north
by q little west to the main coast line OF
the Isle of Skye. So far as inland pene-
tration goes, the indented territory
west of this main coast line counts for
nothing, as the vessel is more cut OIL
from 1t In part, than when 1t has
reached Dumbarton. Hence Glasgow's
real inland penetration Is only 20 miles,
not much more than any seacoast port
might well have; and Glasgow's posi-
tion counts for little as an argument for
going inland. 1t is evident that purely
local considerations governed here also,
namely, the large local tonnage which
before the days Of railways, could not
get out at all, unless by water.
AT London, from the More to Albert
Docks, the distance is only "a miles, not
n very great penetration towards the
producer,
We tabulate the amount of actual
penetration inland In miles from the
general coast lire on which advocates of
inland ports base their lmmutable law.
When the great areas of our country
by rail are considered. 1t will
be seen that the amounts are trliIng,
and that where very great local advan-
are not offered, the prospect in
our new country, well supplied with
cheaper railways than is Europe, the
prospects of these small amounts of in
land penetration receiving great con-
slderation, are not promising:
