All, never doubt my love is true,
That not in speech 1t flows,
For, dear, cannot tell it you,
My heart no language knows,
And still can only yearn and ache
In silence, though it break
But not by any speech is known
The hidden lore of deep and height;
The sea has nothing but a moan,
The dark Is silent, and the light:
The grandest music needs no word
To make its meaning heard.
You dwell amidst my daily strife,
A thing apart, divine,
And all that's noblest in my life
Is incense at your shrine,
For every worthy deed do
Is done for love of you.

Since 1859 the French Canadians have
lived in isolation, SO that their rate of
increase has not been raised by immi-
grafton from abroad or interfered with
in other similar ways.
AS the result of his study Professor Da-
wilson finds that the average rate of
increase per decade from 1765 to 1891 has
been 29.7 per cent, which would cause the
population to double every twenty-seven
years.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. THE state
board Of live stock commissioners have
submitted to the governor a condensed
statement covering their work for two
years ending July %, 1896, and referring
to the inspection of cattle at the Union
Stock Yards, Chicago, they say In part;
1.-THE rules adopted by the live stock
exchange and the board OF Nv stock
commissioners went into effect on July
%, 1894. and since that time we have In
spected and tagged H. 400 cattle and
IL, 642 cattle have been tagged with round
tags. which allows them to be ole on
the open market on their own merits;
4.g3S cattle have been tagged with square
tags, which were held for post norton
examination, as Ii was no certain
whether or not they were fit for human
food. Out Of the 4,93s cattle held for
post mortem, we have passed l.4A h a

cattle to be tagged and rendered UNIT

exchange and a member of the city
board of health.
1--WE have saved to the shipper and

EARTH SINKING IN MISSOURI
A Horse Swallowed Up I'm Texas
County--A Curious Phenomenon.

Mansfield, Mo, Aug. THE people
throughout this section OF the country
are becoming frightfully alarmed over
what appears to be the gradual sinking
OF the earth in certain localities. IL
has ben a little more thar a year ago
since a whole field fell on an average of
a little more than two feet. Within the
past two weeks the ground has become
very dry from want OF moisture and as
n result crevices, some OF which are a
foot wide, have appeared In the earth.
Eight miles south OF here In Douglas
county, there Is a very noticeable de-
preston Of several inches, covering
more than n section Of land. Another
evidence OF this lncxpllcable phenomena
occurred I'm Texas county a day or two
ago. when a sudden sagging OF the earth
swallowed up a horse while hltched to
n pillow and 1t was with difficulty that
the driver saved himself. These strange
occurrences seem to come around perl
odically with certain seasons, and al
though they have been the subject or
investigation for scientific purposes,
nobody liz able to advance n reasonable
theory for the existence OF such q state
OF things. The negroes have become 80
wrought up over the matter that many
Of them are leaving the country. They
declare hat 1t Is an indication OF tho
early arrival of Judgment Day"

Washington, Aug. 5.-Thc program for
the coming evolutionS of the North At
lantic fleet has been completed. Special
attention will be given to the technical
tiles of naval tactics, and the exercises
ere counted on to materially increase
the efficiency of the fleet and add to the

laid down, unusual care must be taken
to maintain distances. and this cvolves

The success of the evolutions depends
upon the cooperation of the two
branches, and the whole affair will be

locomotion in which the predomlnatins
features will be mathematical precision
Of positions. Admiral Bunce has said
in a letter To the squadron that no officer
should be satisfied with anything less

While the work of the squadron will

MUST GIVE UP THEIR PAY
Hard Lines for Naval officers on
the Retired List.
The Armor Plate Empioyes-Lieuten'
ants Stone and Meigs May
Have to Quit the Steel
Companies.

Washington, Aug. 6.--Some of the ma
val officers are curious TO know the re-
suit Of the clause which prohibits an OF
fcsr OF the service from drawing gov
eminent pay while working for contrac-
tors who supply material to the govern
ment. The paragraph was aimed at the
two officers who are employed by the
armor plate makers. Lieutenant Z. A.
Stone of the Carnegie company and
Lieutenant J. f. Meigs Of the Bethle-
hem company. Stone Is located in this
city and represents his concern in It's
transactions with the department.
Meigs apparently has a more technical
connection with his firm, and Is en-
ployed at the Bethlehem works.
The clause does not take effect for a
year al all events, and by that time both
Of the officers must decide whether they
will remain In the employ Of the Penn
~sylvania steel companies or be willing
to draw their retired pay. The require
ment may be withdrawn next year. NO
one recognizes why these officers should
be selected for this peculiar Kind OF pun
ishment. For a long time Lieutenant
Stone had a desk In the bureau OF ord
nance, although he was moi connected
with the bureau. He rendered the ex'
perts some aid In preparing speci1ca-
lions and performed other work, but
there was soon objection to his main
tanning an office In the bureau, although
there was never any suggestion OF lr-
regularities. While he was Of value TO
the Carnegie company he was also OF
value to the naval officials.
The companies do not secure any ad-
dIt,onal dVantag from the employment
OF such officers az Stone ond Meigs, a
az comes from the technical knowledge
possessed by them. and II has appeared as
unnecessarily unjust that each should DE
prohibited from working for the armor
plate makers and yet be permitted 10
make other business connections, so long
as navy department contracts were not
involved. Under the Law these officers
will he obliged to give up their commits
sions In the navy II they continue in their
present employment after June 30 next.
AS each receives now from the govern
ment 1850 per year in retired pay. and as
his compensation from the steel company
for which he works Is probably much lar
ger, there Is no doubt that each VIII sur
render hts commission. Both officers were
retired for disability and receive three
quarters OF the sea-pay OF a lieutenant's
grade. II either officer has any personal
influence and ever exercises Il in behalf Of
his employer, 1t VIII not be impaired by
this severance Of his connection with the
service. IL Is difficult TO see why retired
officers may not accept employment from
armor plate makers. They are reputable
and can he trusted to not adopt any UNI
businesslike methods.
