The capital realized from the sale of prop
erty was so largely absorbed in the con-
struction of canals as TO leave little sur
plus for other industrial and commercial
enterprises II one-half of this capital
had been available for stores, banks and
small industries, it is likely that much
which was necessarily left to private initi-
ative would have been undertaken by the
colony. In that case we should find broad
er lessons in cooperative effort than we do
now.
1t is also important to note that the
community owed its prosperity to its high
ideal and uncompromising public spirit.
There was here no common religious tie, as
in the early New England colonies; no
shadow of persecution such as that which
bound the Mormon pioneers together in an
indissoluble brotherhood. The nearest ap-
proach to this influence was the prohibi-
tion sentiment, and this formed but a
small part Of the original plan. These col
onists were earnest men and women who
had gone forth to make homes where they
could combine industrial independence
with social equality and intellectual oppor-
tunity. They were grimly determined to
accomplish what they had undertaken.
This spirit end this alone kept them from
going to pieces during the first five years
and laid the foundation for their perma-
nent prosperity. William Z. Smythe in

Teach Spelling From the blackboard.

A revival of the old fashioned spelling
school has been tried in some localities,
but only to prove that it does not, as
rule, reach the poor spoilers. They stay
away from it-they are not wanted in
spelling match The spelling school was
for the glorifcation of the good spoilers.
1t did something, no doubt, for depraved
brain cells before such mysteries were
ever heard of in connection with spell
ing books - before physical inertia
could be charged to weak valvular heart
action, and ugly tempers to microbes,
and all the rest The spelling school be-
longs to past dispensation, says my
friend, but it suggests what might dc
much for orthography, if the blackboard
were made conspicuous feature and
the attention concentrated upon the
reading and ring of sentences, of
which the following might be an exam
pie: "Mr. Wright, the wheelwright,
does not write rite rightly" with help
full stories occasionally like that of the
teacher who wrote upon the board the
three words, Boys, bees, bear, " asking
the children to construct and write a
sentence in which these words would be
used intelligently, one hoy giving at
once, Boys bees bear when they goes
in swimming. "-Jane Marsh Parker in

! so that it Is conceivable that he may not
know-happy man!-whether the Con-
servatives or Liberals are in power, or
whether England is ruled by Queen
Victoria or by Edward VII.
The first thing to be done was to
make out list of the dynamite hulks-
Just as had made list of the boats
off Southend-and then to take the YES
sells one by one and satisfy myself that
no one was there in hiding. | need not
moro fully describe the details of the
various inquiries than to say that in or
der to avoid attracting attention they
were made, as at Southend, by the wa
terman Quickly.
Most of the hulks are moored in the
creek within sight Of Hole Haven,
where the principal inn of the island is
situated, and all these we were soon
able to dismiss from our calculation.
But there was one hulk, the Cuban
| Queen, lying not in the shelter Of the
creek, but in o much more lonely spot
directly off Canvey, in regard to which
l was not able to come to conclusion.
1t lay in deeper water, nearly mile
out, and no one seemed to know much
about the man in charge except that he
was named Hughes and was married.
He very rarely came on shore, but when
he did so returned Immediately to his
ship without speaking to anybody, and
it was generally believed on the island
that he often had his wife with him.
| That he had some one-wife or other
wise-on board soon satisfied myself,
and that by very simple means.
The man whose duty it was to wait
upon the hulk keepers was, found, a
methodical sort Of fellow and kept a
memorandum book, in which he wrote
down the different articles ho was in
struoted to obtain. This book Quickly
managed to get hold Of for me, and, on
looking over it, saw that from q GER
tain timc-dating some months back
the supply of provisions ordered by
Hughes had doubled i'll quantity. This
might of course be due to the fact that
his wife was on board, and indeed
Quickly reported that the hulk attendant
had remarked to him: Hughes have
got his old woman on the Cuban Queen.
l sec her a.rowing about one night in the
dingey." But had made another and
much more significant discovery when
looking over the book-a discovery
which the presence of Hughes wife did
not altogether explain. This was that
not only had the quantity of food sup
piled to Hughes been largely increased,
bat that the quality, too, was vastly
superior.
The man in attendance on the hulk
had probably failed to notice this fact,
and did not deem it advisable to arouse
his suspicion by making further inqui-
ries. But I at once decided that before
put against the name of the Cuban
Queen the little tick which signified
that might henoeforth dismiss it from
consideration should have to make
the personal acquaintance of Mrs.
Hughes. "

The Negro Moses.

Mrs. Harriet Tubman, once called the
"Moses of her people," and for whose head
slave owners offered % reward of $40, 600, is
in Boston. She was born about 1920 in
Dorchester county and was the grand
daughter of O slave brought from Africa.
About 1874 she married q FREQ colored
man named John Tubman, but had no
children. During the last two years OF her
slavery she lived in the family OF Dr.
Thompson In 1S49 the man to whom she
belonged died, and by the provisions OF the
will the slaves were to be set free. His
wishes, however, were disregarded, and
ARRANGEMENTS were made to dispose of
them in the usual way. Previous to the
sale Mrs. Tubman mado her escape and
reached Philadelphia, where she found
work and earned money. With this she
travelled back to Maryland for her hus-
band but found that he had married
again.
Between 1850 and 1860 she made no less
than 10 trips to the south and spirited
away more than 800 slaves Her work in
aiding fugitive slaves enraged the slave
owners, and every effort was made to ap
prehend her. A reward of $4,000 was
| finally offered by them for her, either dead
or alive. On this account she was able tt
do but little toward assisting her people
between 1859 and 1857. At the breaking
out of the war che was sent to the front BY
Governor Andrew Of Massachusetts to &C
as spy and scout for the Union armies
and to work in the hospital. This she die

SHAKING WITH 10000.
Tie "Gcd Bless You!" of Honest Hearted
People a Benediction.

People Benediction.
In an article describing 1.-THE Social
Life of the President" in The Ladies'
Home journal ex-President Harrison
tells of the fatigues of handshaking and
also of the benefits of being brought in
contact with the good, honest hearted
people of the country. "In the first two
weeks of an administration, he says,
"the president shakes hands with from
40, 900 to 10000 persons. The physical
drain of this is very great, and if the
president is not an instructed hand
shaker lame arm and swollen hand
soon result. This may be largely or en-
tirely avoided by using President Hayes
method-take the hand extended to you
and grip it before your hand is gripped.
1t is the passive hand that gets hurt 1t
has teen suggested that nod or bow
should be substituted for the handshake,
but it would be quite as admissible to
suggest revision Of the Declaration Of
Independence.
1.-THE interest which multitudes attach
to a hardshako with the president is so
great that people will endure the great
est discomfort and not little peril to
life or limb to attain it. These are not
the office seekers, but the good, honest
hearted, patriotic people whose God
bless you is a prayer and benediction-
They eome to Washington for the inau-
guration, and later with excursions,
blt they are mostly to be found near
their own homes. They come out to
meet the president when he takes a
journey, and his contact with them and
their unselfish and even affectionate in
terest in him revive his courage and
elevate his purposes. Mr. Lincoln is
said to have called these popular recep-
tions his public opinion baths. ,"

Again we heard the stones crunch as
the boat was slid back into the water.
GOOD nights" were exchanged, and re-
ceding oar dips told us that the boat was
returning to the hulk. Then somebody
climbed the sea wall and stood still for
half minute, as if looking around to
make sure that no one was in sight.
Our hiding place was fortunately well
in shadow, and we ran very little risk
of discovery, but it was not until the
person who had landed had turned and
taken some steps in the opposite direc-
tion that / ventured TO lift my head.
Night was fast closing in, but standing
as the newcomer was upon the sea wall,
silhouetted against the darkening sky, l
could distinctly see that the figure was
woman's. Hughes old woman,

l motioned to him to be silent, and SO
we remained for few seconds.
Then Muir spoke, with evident dis
gust, and not in a whisper either
"Look here, Master Max Rissler, caves

isn't in my line. You haven't told me
what your little game is, and haven t
asked you. I've great respect for you,
as you know. But if you're playing

Icould have strangled the big hearted,

within earshot. 1t did not lessen my
annoyance to know, from the approving
grimace which could feel rather than
see on the generally expressionless face
of Quickly, that he also credited me
with evil designs upon "Mrs. Hughes
and shared his masters sentiments.
Him, too, was strongly moved to
strangle, and that I resisted the temp
tation was due chiefly to the fact that
had present need of his services.
"Look here, old man, I said to Muir
when I thought it safe to speak, "did
you ever know me do dirty action?"
"Never, my boy" he responded
promptly.

second is that I don't want him to see
