ADVANTAGES OF SEA POWER.
Tn English View OF the American
Navy In the civil War.

Tn English View of the American
Navy In the civil War.
Spenser Wilkinson illustrates the ex-
traordinary influence Of sea power by
a reference to the American civil war
The ordinary man might suppose that
in civil war at any rate sea power
was not a material factor, and that
there, ii anywhere, land cOnsidert-
lions alone decided the struggle Yet
this was not really the case. After
showing how much the Danes were
able to do against Germany, owing TO
their possession Of sea power, Mr..
Wilkinson proceeds:
The second war illustrates not the
help which the command of the sea
gives to the weaker military power.
but the terrific force which ii adds TO
the stronger. II Is the American civil
war. The usual explanation OF this
war is that the north was able to over
come the South by the superior num-
bers OF it's armies. But this Is less
than half the truth. The south was
beaten because. as IL had no tieet. the
north commanded the sea Lee was
never beaten in battle except when he
invaded the northern states. In Yir-
ginia he repulsed every attack made
upon him until few days before the
end. Grant and Sherman In the west
defeated confederate armies, Grant
gaining possession In 1862 and 1861 81

ate army at Chattanooga, ana left
Sherman in 1864 to push on into the
heart Of the confederate states, To At.
lanta, the chief railway center OF the
south. The decisive blow. In n mill.
tary sense. was inflicted by Sherman
when he marched from Atlanta to
Savannah, and then from Savannah
right through the seabOard states 10
Raleigh in North Carolina.
This great raid was possible only
because Sherman WAS certain when he
reached the sea TO find federal r,p.i
from which he could draw supplies.
and which would then be sure base
for him as he advanced northward
parallel with the coast The decisive
military blow, therefore. depended on
the fleet. Grants army. too. was al.
ways during his campaigns against
Lee supplied by the sea. Even these
advantages would have led 10 no dc.

SAINT AND SINNER.

Heartworn and weary the woman sat,
Her baby sleeping across her knee,
And the work her fingers were toiling
at
Seemed a pitiful task for such as
she;
Mending shoes for the little feet
That battered over the cabin floor,
While the bells of the Sabbath day
rang sweet,
And the neighbors passed by the
open door.
The children and the baby slept,
And the busy needle went and came,
When 10, on the threshold stone there
stept
A priestly figure, and named her
name;
s'What shrift is this for the Sabbath
day,
When bells are calling, and far and
near
The people gather to praise and pray?
Woman, why are you toiling here"
Like one in dream she answered
low;
Father, my days are work days all;
Il KNOW no SdDDdtu. udTe uul 80
Where the beautiful bells ring out
the call;
For who would look to the meat and
drink,
And tend the children and keep the
peace?
I pray in silence, and try to think,
For Gods love can listen, and give
me peace
The years passed on, and with fast
and prayer
The good priest climbed to the state
of rest;
And a tired woman stood waiting
here,
Her work-worn hands to her bosom
pressed;
20, saint. thrice blessed, mount thou
on highr'
He heard the welcoming angels say,
And meekly, gently, she passed him
by
Who had mended shoes on the Sab
bath day.

Do you need money? If so, why not
give your attention to the invention of
small and useful articles that may be
patented?
A little investigation viii satisfy
anybody that great amount OF
money has been made in recent years
from small, and. in some cases, trivial
patents. 1t is true that the inventor
has not in all cases secured much of
the profit himself, bur it seems that
with energy and ordinary business
ability he should be able to do so.
Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1895-08-31

How trivial the invention may be is
shown by the statement that the
"Pigs-in- Clover puzzle brought in
100000. Experience does not prove
that it is wise for the inventor To oc-
cupy himself with such thing il he
can invent anything useful. Patents
which did not earn a tenth as much
as "Pigs-in-Clover" in the same pc
Rod are profitable still.
OF course it is given to few to in
vent such things as telephones or valu-
able improvements ON them, but many
intelligent men must feel themselves
capable of deyising mucilage bottle

of that humble order of usefulness.

The modern tendency in business is
to struggle for monopoly. Capital
lists are not contented with being rich.
They want all the money which the
business in which they are engaged
is capable of gathering from the peo-
pie of the whole country. The man
without capital appears to have no
chance of getting control of any in
dustry or business. He certainly can
not control the supply of all the beef
or all the school books in the land, but
there is always one way by which
without capital he may obtain little
monopoly of his own. That is by
means of an invention and a patent.
