be possible for us to gain great worldly
 renowp, or. to rise to the pinnacle of earthly fame or to amass much material wealth. This may not be possible and
 may not matter. But one thing is pos sfble to every one of us, and that is, to
 make for ourselves s'a good name."
 High and noble character is possible to every one of us, and this matters great
 deal. So, the best thing that I can say
 to young men at the threshold of open ing manhood, and to boys with unde-
 fined, dreams of possible future great
 ness, and to men of middle age with
 prospect of many more years of life be-
 fore them and to men and women, too, of every stage, of life, seek not first and foremost for mere external honors, or
 fame, or business success, or power, or position, or wealth, but in seeking these
 (and they are not unworthy of any one when rightly estimated.) keep to the
 path of uprightness, -. ~-.,,- f, WALK IN THE WAY OF UNsULLIED HONOR, of strict integrity, of perfectly open dealing not merely in things outward
 and known to other men but in what is
 unseen and unknown save of God Him. self. Resort not to questionable meth
 ods and doubtful expedients when you
 can be sure that you can cover up all
 trace of your lack of principle. But make it certain that there be no need of
 covering up any part of your transac. tions, that there be never any fear of
 any unpleasant secrets being divulged
 but that everything in which you have 8.
 hand be as open and clear as the noon- day. In word be not only outwardly correct in your life but be inwardly
 righteous. Righteous before God"
 And I say to-day not only is this urged
 because it is, right and according to the will of God, but Ijsay that really, seri- ously, truly, the eworid in general receg-
 nizes the glory of such a character. and praises and honors such men. >.s ?, ., Possibly you have already anticipated
 the particular application of the forego- ing remarks. Within the past week two men, both respected and honored in this
 community, and both faithful communi-
 cants of this parish, have been scalled from this earthly life into the Paradise
 of God. The one had lived far beyond
 the allotted time of man, almost reach ing the limit of century. Having sur vived for 80 many years nearly all of his
 contemporaries and experienced the lone~
 Illness of old age he has of late been fa- miliarly known to but few. But he had
 lived an active, useful, honorable life as a citizen and was-a faithful Churchman
 of the staunchest kind. serving the par Eish as warden and vestryman for some years, and receiving the manifestations of
 the Church until almost his last hour.
 Righteous before God, walking in all
 the commandments and ordinances of the
 Lord blameiess.n

 Aunt Ellen told ma to give milk away, if she did not want to use it, for there is lot of poor people in the village who would be, glad to get the milk if they knew about it. So when Aunt Ellen went away ma told Jack to tell any of the poor people that be happened to see, that she had plenty of milk to spare them, if they would come after it.
 "And be sure and tell them," she added, "to come for it early before it sours." ..
 While she was speaking about the milk, she expressed wish that she could sell some of the milk that she had to turn into butter, as churning was such hard work, and the butter brought such 8 low price.
 To distinguish Aunt Ellen's COW from l ouEawn. the hired man used to call her the RpiscbpaI COW, a5eAdpt. Ellen went to the Episcopal church, while we were all PFeshyterians, I may ss' we'll tell you, also, that Jack and I had to help weed the garden in spare, time, and it | was 8 job neither svof ,us0Iked, particu. larly when the, suh was hot.

 Neither of us liked the idea Of going around to tell the. people to come for the milk, neither did wanttt to go around with 8 basket on our arms, sellng ngg peas, beans, cucumbers, and the like. But we found way out. of our difficulties. I ou see, Jack was down to the village one day, and he. saw a man. posting up advertisements on fences and barns {; and when Jack asked him why he went to so much trouble, the man told him that it saved trouble; he did not have to go around and tell the people what. he had for sale; they could re ad for them selves. .-.. ,as''s.'r'.'

 So.Jack thought he would advertise, too; and it would save us the trouble of going around and telling about the milk and things. So we hunted up big piece of wrapping paper, and took itvup to the garrett where the paint pots are kept, and with g little help from me in wording it, Jack painted the following l =. -stn 1fS.R'esa . s' e-s. ecJo1gs .ssf. e.-ss7 s.ls.

WEDNESDAY. DEC. 90, 1897.

1t is well known that leading Dem
ocrats in Congress used every device
to delay the passage Of the Dingley
tariff bill, and while doing this un-
patriotic work, millions of dollars
worth of foreign goods were being
imported in anticipation of higher
tariff. Now these same small-souled
politicians are gloating over the failure
of the Dingley bill to produce the ex-
pected revenue, knowing full well all
the time that if it had not been for the
obstructive tactics employed by the OPP
position, thereyenue would have been
greater by millions. They can congra-
tulate themselves upon having robbed
the government ofmillions in dnties
and delayed, by opening the way to
excessive importations, the opening Of
our own mills and factories and the en-
ployment of idle workmen.

AMERICAS APPROACHING SuPREMA
GYM THE WORLDS MARKETS.

The balance in favor of the United
States III the trade OF the past year with
Europe has been of stnpendons dimen-
sions. This is due chiefly to the for
eign demand for our breadstufls and
other food supplies. In view of the
strengthened tariff barrier which makes
il more difficult than ever for Europe
to send her manufactures to us in pay
ment for brend and meat, cotton and
petroleum, there is much uneasiness IN
trade circles abroad, and not n little
open and clustering tnlk of II combs
nation of the whole continent of Eu-
rope for the economic suppression of
the United States. Among respon-
sible statesmen Count Goluchowski,
the Foreign Minister of Austria, has
been the most conspicuously identi-
fled with such threats. The puzzllns
thing is to invent mode of retalIa-
ton that will not hurt the European
peoples themselves very much worse
than they can possibly hurt the Unit
ed States. England, of course, has for
n long time been reconciled to the idea
of importing the larger part of her food
supply. But since the United States
has begun to compete soformldably IN
manufactures there has arisen no little
Consideration in the British mind.
Many signs point TO the passing of the
scepter of industrial supremacy from
Great Britain to the United States.
The year 1897 has witnessed the easy
triumph of the American makers OF
steel rails over English and all other
competitors in every part of the world.
American contractors are fitting ont
electric street railways in England,
and various American manufactures of
iron and steel are undertaking British
products, not only in neutral markets,
but also in the United Kingdom.
Recent reports of the rapid exhaustion
Of England's coal supply have added
to the prevailing alarm. The adyant-
age which American manufacturers
have gained is due not merely To the
superiority Of our natural resources as
respects the deposits of iron ore aud
coal, but also to the vast scale upon
which our industries are organized,
aud the superiority of their appliances.

THE AMERICAN SHIP SHENANDOAH.

THE AMERICAN SHIP SHENANDOAH.
speak English and that the crews are
made up of men of various nationali-
ties.
But, chanty or no chanty, outward
bound ships are leaving our big ports in
even greater numbers than in the old
days. Many of them are bound around
Cape Horn, where there is just as much
frost and snow as ever. They are not all
foreign ships either. The largest sailing
ship ahoat flies the stars and stripes.
The largest wooden ship ever built halls
from Bath, Me-, and is still in commits
sion, and of the half dozen sailing yes
sells which claim distinction as to size
three of them were built in down east
shipyard which is famous the world
over.
It is true that the bulk of the cargo
carrying is done by steam in this pro-
sale age but it is a mistake to think
that the clipper ship has entirely disap-
peared from the seas or that we no lon
ger have merchant marine worthy of
the name. For long distance ocean traffic
the sailing ship is still cheaper by far
than the steamer, and the American
skipper with his Yankee built boat gets
his share of the business in spite of the
he has Britisher as competitor.
Only the other day two American
clipper ships sailed from Philadelphia
together on a 10, 900 mile race around
the Horn to San Francisco. They were
the Tacoma and the Indiana, both of
Bath, Me. The latter is owned by Ar
thur Sewa1l, who was the vice presiden-
tial candidate in the late presidential
campaign. One of the arguments against
building wooden ships is that they are
estimated to last only about 10 years,
and this was one of the reasons given
by Mr.. Sewal1 few years ago when he
changed from wood to steel shipbuild
ing But the Indiana, on which he pins
his faith as one of the fastest ships
af1oat was launched from the Sewa1l
yards 81 years ago, and since then has
carried untold millions of goods back
and forth around the Horn, being still
in good condition and able to carry all
the sail a captain who has bet half
years salary on the result of the race
cares to spread. The Tacoma is also
owned in Bath and has record of hav-
ing made the passage from the Philip
pine islands to Philadelphia in 100 days.
One of the most interesting races ON
the great ocean course was that sailed
between the Susquehanna and the Roam
oke, two of the finest of the SewaQ feet
and the largest of the American mer-
chant marine. They left New York
harbor together just four days before
Christmas, 1898, and sailed through
the Golden Gate not half an hour apart
on the 22d day of the following April,
making the voyage in 1872 days. The
Susquehanna was the victor, but by so
narrow a margin that the skipper of the
Roanoke has been longing for another
chance at his rival ever since.
This was not unusually fast time, but
the voyage is seldom made inside of

feet deep. When loaded to her plimsoll
mark, she can carry 6, 100 tons of cargo.
The British have built some big iron
ships too. One is the Liverpool, Clyde
built boat with four masts and a total
length of 1913 feet. She has run ID knots
an hour for whole day. The Pa1grave
of Glasgow is 1922 feet inches from
stem to stern and has a width of 40
feet. In the spring of 1883 she made
somewhat remarkable run from Calcut-
ia to New York, making the passage in
I06 days with gill tons of cargo stow
ed beneath her iron decks. She had phe-
nomenal weather, however, and the cap
tain reported on arrival that che set
stunsails in the China sea and never
took in a stitch until off Hatteras.
With the change from wood to iron
have come in other alterations which
make the modern merchantmen a much
different craft from the old clipper. ships.
Steel wire rigging has supplanted tarred
hemp because it is lighter and more dur
able. 1t has its disadvantages though.
Hollow steel topmasts and yards are
now used instead of the heavy pine tim
bers of the old days. They are painted
wood color as rule, and the appearance
of the spars is not changed The old
clippers were all three masted ships,
but the new ones have four and five
masts, all square rugged except the last
one, which goes by the name of 1.-THE
jigger' and carries a spanker boom
The old time fo'castle has gone too.
The crew now inhabit fairly comfort
able quarters in the forward part of the
midship deckhouse, while the captain
and other officers have the after part of
the same house. Steam hosting gear
for getting up anchor and warping is
another Improvement and has reduced
the number of sailors from so, which
was often the size of crew on an old
clipper ship to 80, which is good sized
crew for the biggest of modern. mer-
chantInen.
Perhaps you think that much Of the
romance has gone too. Well, it may be
so. Still, even the biggest and most
modern of our sailing ships is good to
see- 1 doubt if you can watch such a
ship as, for instance, the Roanoke,
when under full sail, with a mile square
spread of canvas driving her graceful
length through the waves. her house
flag flying from the main truck nearly
800 feet above the water, and say that
it is prosaic sight.
