Gifts at Baptisms.

Gifts to infants Mt their baptism are Of
ancient origin. Formerly the sponsors gen.
orally offered gilt spoons TO the child
These spoons were called apostle spoons
because the figures of tho IL apostles were
carved at the top Of the handles. Rich
sponsors gave tho complete set of l2 while
for those who were not SO opulent four was
considered the proper number, and poor
sponsors would content themselves with
Offering one. In tho latter case the handle
Of the spoon generally exhibited the figure
Of any saint in honor Of whom the child
received its name. 1t Is In allusion 20 this
custom that when Cranmer professod to be
unworthy of being sponsor 10 tho young
princess Shakespeare makes the king re-
ply:
Come, come, my lord you'd spare your spoons.

the present day appears as a very debased

A NARROW ESCAPE.

A terrible catastrophe was narrowly
averted last Thursday morning when
the big warship Blake, the pride of the
British navy, barely escaped being
struck amidships by an ocean flyer
plunging through the fog at race speed
The steamer was bearing down on the
Blake when the lookout caught a
faint gleam of light through the fog
just in time to reverse the Blake's
engines and the big flyer shot past, graz
ing the bow of the warship with her
thousand souls on board. Three seconds
delay in reversing the engines and the
Blake would have been struck amid
ships and sunk with all on board,
while in all probability the ocean
steamer would have met with the
same fate. Hundreds Of lives have
been sacrificed of Fundy and the Banks
in the mad desire to ''beat the record"
on the part of these big ocean grey
hounds. They race through the water
with the speed of railroad train,
fishing vessel lies at anchor in their
path, there is slight crash, cry in
the darkness and gloom, or
few bubbles and no one
but the lookout on the steamer,
which remorselessly plows her way
through the vastly deep, is the wiser
that score of lives have paid for that
"record making" Yet at the end of the
fishing season some vessel fails to re-
turn to the homo port, wives and chill
dren mourn the loss of husband and
father, and when the year closes in the
little towns like Gloucester, prayers are
offered for those lost at sea.

ANOTHER SILENT WITNESS.

f. X. Chapman, of the firm through
whom Senator Brice INDUCES in his
speculative ventures, was before the
Senate Sugar Trust Investigating Com
mittee Saturday, and, following the
advice OF his counsel, refused to div ulge
any Of the private business of his firm.
This desire to protect his Senatorial
customers is undoubtedly natural,
but might lead to embarrassing
complications if the committee
should ask to have the law
providing for the punishment of recalci-
trant witnesses before the Senate COM
mittees enforced. This is the law under
which criminal proceedings have been
instituted before the grand jury against
the newspaper correspondents who ex-
posed the scandal. But it is hardly
likely that the Senate committee will
try to punish the broker for attempting
to shield brother Senator's offences.
That would not be Senatorial courtesy,
and Senatorial courtesy is paramount to
justice or anything else in the world.

A FIENDISH CONSPIRACY.

| With 400 soldiers belonging to Ohio
and West Virginia guarding property
in their respective States, with Mary
land, Pennsylvania, Colorado and ILL
nois regiments in the field, each within
their own borders, the coal strike of
1894 is destined to be known as one of
the worst outbreaks of lawlessness in the
history of the nation.
The strikers. when they began, had
the sympathy of the people, but their
own lawlessncss, their determination to
force their employers to yield to their
demands at any cost, and TO prevent
others from working, even though
murder and cowardly assassination has
to be resorted to 10 carry their point,
has completely alienated public senti-
ment from them, and public safety
demands that these outbreaks be put
down vigorously by the stern hand of
the law. Tearing up railroad tracks,
wrecking trains and mines by dynamite,
numbering miners and burning bridges
is too close resemblance to anarchy
to be permitted.
Organized labor has mst with the
cruelest blow that friend or foe ever
aimed at it and today organized labor
has in this strike become an organized
conspiracy against the rights of other
citizens and against the authority of law
to prevent other men from mining zeal
in the place of the strikers, or to trans
port it to the disadvantage of the strike.
Public opinion turns against an or
ganization which resorts to such fiend-
ish and brutal outrages, and the fact
that the leaders denounce the lawess-
ness that they are unable to check, does
not mitigate the crime. They are re
sponsible and their organization today
is disgrace to the law abiding COM
munity in which it exists.

AN UNWISE ATTEMPT.

That was remarkable and significant
declaration which Sir John Lubbock
made in the English House of Commons
last week when Sir William Harcourt's
budget was under consideration. The
object which aroused Sir Johns indig-
nation was the provision for taxing cell
onials resident in England on their whole
colonial property, and against which
some of the most powerful colonies,
notably Australia, have protested We
hemently. Sir John declared that this
provision was likely to arouse spirit
no less formidable than that shown by
certain American colonies rather more
than hundred years ago. His warning
was unheeded, but Lord Sails
bury has borne witness that
the Ghaaeeller of-th -Exchsquer
has created the first serious difference of
opirions between the governments of
Australia and England. IL seems un-
wise in the present government Of Eng
land To pass laws which will harass the
colonies, for the Imperial Federation
