The world stands amazed at the facility with which we meet any de- mand whatsoever. Representatives of foreign powers sent here to study our war methods have writ ten back home that it is no trouble for us to raise and equip an army of any size. They expected Co find us drafting men to fill the ranks, but instead they found us refusing more than were accepted because they were not needed.
 But what surprised them most was the fact that the men offering their services were of the best in the land, and not the rag-tag and bob tail, as in other nations. They iind among the volunteers men from every college, every profession and every trade, and among them men of wealth and of the highest worth. And that which strikes them as being most peculiar and ominous, too, is that these men belong to the rank and file ss we'll as to the field and staH -Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.

The Ad as a Contract.

It is a very common error to re- gard advertising merely as a bait. Too many advertisers proceed on the theory that if -ad -hziags a certain number of people to buy a certain thing at certain price, it was 8 good ad and did good stroke of business.
 The real question is. Will those people ever come back7
 If the ad mislRd them, if the goods they bought are not what they were led to expect, you've done a mighty poor stroke of business, instead of a good one.

Superiority of Our Navy.

In a recent interview in New York Captain Sigsbee in speaking Of our navy said: "OuF navy was on q superb war footing when the trouble broke out, though the people as large didn't know 1t, or the enemy either. Fo- months and years there has been no let up in drills and practice work. Every branch in IseaKaRkAip had been ground effect ively into officers and msas That's one point.
 But matter of more consequences in the present clash of forces" Cap tain Sigsbee went on to say, ais the fact that our men are trained not alone in accuracy of firing but in rapidlty, toO. It is the deadly combination that the Spaniardsc can not stand; they are stunned, para lyzed by tbeawful effects. Wedash st them and smother them alive. They have 20 chance to breathe. The appalling rapidity with which our guns are worked, the appalling volume of lead hurled at the enemy, are features of modern seamanship to which the Spaniard is . stranger. Our superior marksman- ship would be bad enough for him all by itself. but he is simply choked and quenched when the rapidity is added. The impact must be some thing awful, when 6 few of our broadsides, with big and little guns, hurl a mountain of shot-tons of metal-on the foe in such quick sue cessiou that he reels under the blows. Accuracy and rapidity com bined are the vital, the conquering elements of modern ironelad wal fare, and nation that is not thor oughly up to date in them both had better keep strictly out of the busi- ness"
 But what about Wainright's feat, captain, in sinking two torpedo boat ..-stroyers single handed, with dar- lng little unprotected yacht and 6 few six-poundersf"
 "Oh, Wainwright has no end of pluck. He was with me on the Maine and showed splendid courage through it all. He was itching to get a crack at the Hons from the first, and knew we'll enough he'd let DO chance slip through his hands no matter what the odds. It was 8 nervy bit of business, no doubt of that, but no more than his friends expected of him."

THE LORD BE PRAISED.
The President Recommends a Day of Universal Thanksgiving for
 Our Victories.

President Mckinley has issued the following proclamation:
 'To the People of the United States
 of America:
 "At this time when to the yet fresh remembrance of the unprece- dented success which attended the operations of the United States fleet in the bay of Manila on the first day of May are added the tididgs of the no less glorious achievement of the naval and military arms of our be- loved country at Santiago de Cuba, it is fitting that we should pause, and, staying the feeling of eXulta- ton that too naturally attends the great deeds wrought by our coun- trymen Tn our eountry's causet should reverently bow before the throne of divine grace and devote praise 10 God who holdeth the na- tions in the hollow of His hands and worketh upon them the marvels of His high will, and who has thus far vouchsafed to us the light of his face and led our brave soldiers and seamen to victory.
 "I therefore ask the people of the United States upon their next as sembling for divine worship in their respective places of meeting to offer thanksgiving to Almighty God, who In his unscrutable ways IS now lead ing our hosts upon the waters 10 unscathed triumphs, is now guiding them in a strange land through the dread shadows of death to success, even though at fearful cost, is now bearing them without accident or loss to far chimes and has watched over our cause and brought nearer the success of the right and the stss tainment of a just and honorable peace.
 "With a nations thanks let there be mingled a nations praises that our gallant sons may be shielded from harm alike on the battle6elds, and in the clash of fleets. and be spared the scourge of suffering and disease while they are striving to uphold their country's honor, and withal, let the nations heart be stilled with holy awe at the thought of the noble men who have perished as heroes die, and be filled with compassionate sympathy for all those who suffer the bereavement of sick ness, wounds and bonds, by reason of the awful struggle, and above all, let us pray with earnest fervor that He, the dispenser of all good, may speedily remove from us the untold sfflictions of war and bring to our dear land the blessings of peace and to all the domain now rAVaged by cruel strife, the priceless boon ef security, and tranquility.

New York Stock Board

A significant indication of the extent to
which widening investment and speculation
have affected the stock markets of the coun-
try is afforded by the prices now reported
for membership in the principal stock ex.
changes. A seat in the New York board
this week, says Bradstreet's, changed owners
at little less than $4,000, or an advance
of some $4,000 over the market value of
such membership hardly month ago. 1t is,
however, quite as interesting to hear that the
last transfer of similar membership in
the Boston stock exchange represented a
consideration of $4,000, which is explained
by the fact that, though the Boston market
for securities is more limited in character
than that which centers in the New York
stock exchange, it has profitable monopoly
of copper-mining shares and other securities
in which extreme activity and marked fuc-
tuations have recently prevailed In either
case the high values put upon exchange
seats represent not only the opportunity for
profits which speculative activity yield in
the stock brokerage business, but the dis.
position to become associated with such
bodies which financial conditions like those
now prevailing are apt to engcnder.
