TIE SHIPS OF ST. JOHN.

Smile, you inland hills and rversl
Flush, you mountains in the dawn
But ny rowing heart is seaward
With the ships of gray st. John.
Fair the land lies, full of August
Meadow island, shingly bar,
Open barns and breezy twilight,
Peace and the mild evening star.
Gently now this gentlest country
The old hab!tude takes on,
But my wintry heart is outbound
With the great ship of st. John
Once in your wide arms you held me,
TIL the man-child was man.
Canada, great nurse and mother
OF the young Sea-roving clan.
Always your bright face above me
Through the dreams of boyhood shone
Now far alien countries call me
With the ships of gray St John
Swing, you tides, up out of Fundy!
Bow, you white fogs, in from seal
was born to be your fellow;
You We're bred to pilot me.
At the touch of your strong fingers,
Doubt the derelict, is gone;
Sane and glad, clear the headland
With the white ships of St John.
Bliss Carman.

HERALD WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER g. 1897

the towns that have been depopulated
! may recover from the shock, and the
business interests that have been pros
trated may be repaired. Public opinion
may be luiled into false sense of Sc
curity. But a vessel from Havana,
casting anchor in a southern harbor, or
unloading ballast at quarantine sta
ton, may destroy this situation in a
day; and. besides sacrificing the lives
or hundreds and thousands, give over 10
chaos and confusion the thousand and
one interests that go to make up trade
and commerce.
The argument makes one smile, and
is something quite new in ethics and
international law. There is no assur-
arlce in the world that the annexation
of Cuba by this country would wipe out
yellow fever in Cuba or prevent its in
PRODUCTION in the United States. The
fever is in the nature of a plague and
cannot be controlled by one form of
government more than another. Rigid
sanitary measures in Havana would
tend to reduce the chances of an out
break of yellow fever, but the authori-
ties OF Havana are not insensible to
this fact and are just as anxious to
prevent it as anyone.
Some years ago the grip, or influenza,
spread all over Europe from Russia
and invaded this country, and its VIC
tins We're almost innumerable. Did
anyone think that Russia should be
annexed by the countries that suffered
from influenza? The yellow fever may
be brought into this country from
some South American port at any time.
Wouldn't it be well, on the theory of
the Constitution, to annex such coun-
try to prevent the introduction of yell
low fever into the United States? 1t
may be possible to give more absurd
reason for annexing Cuba than the
Constitution gives, but it would be hard
to conceive of it.

The riot which has become almost
chronic in the Austrian reichsrath is
of course irrelevant to the specific
question under discussion, says the
New York Times But it is wildly
illustrative of the difficulties of carry
ing on the government of Austria
Hungary. TIL? population of the en-
pire is so diverse and heterogeneous
that a race war may be said to be
waging there continually. The mutual
jealousy of Austrians and Hungarians
would of itself create friction enough
to prevent the smooth working of gov
eminent. But there are other lines of
cleavage in the population, and no
fewer than nine distinct languages are
vernacular among the 40,000,O00 and
each of these denotes an element of
with the rest. Though the German
speaking inhabitants are the most
numerous, they comprise but about a
quarter of the total population. The
effect of this division of races is to
carry still further the German political
tendency TO diVIoe Iilto groups, instead
of parties, and to promote parlia-
mentary dead-locks. In the present
complication a distinct element is the
demand of the Czechs that their
language shall be officially employed
in Bohemia. The parliamentary situa-
ton does not indicate that the read
justment for another decade of the i'm
perial burdens to be borne by Austria
and Hungary, respectively, will be
easily or peacefully effected

deal of trouble in getting me up in the

three boys. Not bit of it, They never
go to bed before 1880 and, by George,
they are always the first ones I'D in the
morning. Usually they are out on their
wheels taking a ten-mile spin before
breakfast But, wheels or not, they are
proving around the house just as soon
as it is daylight. When | was a boy
l had nearly ten hours sleep, and I didn't
thing it enough. My boys set along with
seven hours, and seem as hearty as
bucks. Evidently it is largely a matter of
habit.
