FRIGATE REBUILT AND PRESERVED.
The frigate Constitution, the gallant "Od
honsides," has been put into the drydock at the
kittery Navy Yard to be patched up for her trip
TO Boston, where she is going in time to celebrate
her hundredth birthday. 1t is a pity that the

noble old ship, in whose defence he wrote one of
his earliest and Of his most famous poems
Since lis poem appeared in 1880. several gener-
atoms of schoolboys have memorized it, and
have had their first impressions of the ship
strengthened by the poets ringing stanzas.
On Monday, July 10, she was pulled into the
dock which had just been vacated by the modern
gunboat Vicksburg Portsmouth people and

Most of the money lent by the Sassoons-and
it is their money that finances almost the enc
tire native trade Of Asia and Northern AIrIca--
is lent on personal security. often in astonish-
ingly large amounts and is repaid as rule
not in money, but in goods, so that the Sas-

advances, namely, the interest on the money
and the profit, often very great, upon the sac

This explanation may give some faint idea OF
the extent of the vast power and influence which
is quietly nevertheless surely, welded by tho
Sassoons, and when one remembers that this
influence has ever been at the disposal OF the
British Government, which possesses such huge
interests in Asia and in Africa, it is only SUI

it prevents disease and promotes busi-
