SAILING SHIPS MONEY MAKERS.
At the present time, when the tramp
steamer is credited with driving the
sailing vessel off the face of old ocean
and columns of newspaper comment,
sentimental and otherwise, are being
printed regarding the passing of the
wind iammer," it is refreshing to oc
casionally be enabled to chronicle an
instance where the sailing vessel is
not being operated at loss, but on the
contrary is paying a handsome profit
The British bark Glen Lee furnishes a
good illustration of the fact that under
proper management there is still good
money in a sailing vessel.
The Glen Lee is now on her maiden
trip. and has aboard about 2700 tohs
of general cargo, for which she re-
ceives % shillings per ton. She has
been chartered prior to arrival to load
back, with new crop wheat from Port
land, at 26s Cd per ton.malling total
for the round trip of ASS Cd, or in
round numbers, nearly $4,000. s.
will load back in time to easily reach
home inside of year, and after fgur-
ing out all operating expenses, port
charges, etc, her owners will find to
their credit profit of nearly 20 per
factory percentage considering that
the money centers of the old world are
glutted with gold which can be Sc
cured for or per cent per annum.
The Glen Lee and the flag under which
which she sails, though, do not fur
nish the only illustration of the fact
that the day of the sailing vessel IS
not done, for the big American ship
Dirigo, which has just arrived at San
Francisco with 5000 tons of cargo
from New York, is also a money maker
even at freight rates which are very
small in comparison to those which
prevailed a few years ago.
The Dirigo received SIS per ton for
her outward cargo from New York,
and as soon as she had finished dis
charging accepted wheat charter for
the United Kingdom at us Cd per ton,
a very low rate, but yet large enough
to net her over $4,000 for the trip
from San Francisco to Europe. Even
though she fails to secure cargo out
of Europe, and is forced to cross the
Atlantic in ballast, she will bring up
at her home port within a year of the
time she left there, with gross earn
ings of nearly $4,000, an amount
which gives plenty of leeway for all
expenses and still leave a good mar
gin of profit.

POETIC PROSE.
Stephenson Not the Only Prose Poet
W. -. Yeats Quoted From.

George Moore follows David Christie
Murray i'm declaring that Robert
Louis Stephensons friends are hurt
ing him with over-much praise. To
show that stevenson is not the only
man who ever lived who wrote Eng
lish prose-" MIR. Moore, writing for the
London Daily Chronicle, quotes a pas
sage from new book, "The Secret
Rose" by w. Il. Yeats, and then says:
"By the side of this beautiful prose,
subtle. wistful as the moon shining
upon mist, does not Stevenson's vision
seem dry, hard, prosaic?" The pas
sage quoted is as follows:
at was one of those warm, beautiful
nights. when everything seems carved
of precious stones. The woods away
to the south looked as though cut ont
of green beryl, and the waters that
mirrored them shone like opal. The
roses he was gathering were like glow
ing rubies. and the lilies had the dull
luster of pearl. Everything had taken
uponitself the look Of something i'm
perishable, except a glowworm. whose
faint fame burnt on steadily among
the shadows, moving hither and thith-
err. the only thing that seemed alive
the only thingthat seemed perishable
as mortal hope"

The n thing absolutely certain about
the new Tariff bill is that it will in.
crease the cost of living.
Sugar will cost more, clothing will
cost more, china, crockery and earth
enwear will cost more, tobacco will
cost roore, soap, soda and salt will cost
more, fruits will cost more-nearly ey
cry article of common consumption will
cost more.
The Dingley bill does not reduce tax
alton on a single article of necessity.
1t increases taxation on nearly every
such article.
The revenue producing capacity of
the'new law is largely a matter of guess
work. Its effect upon business and
upon wages remain to be seen. The
n sur thing is that it will considera.
