A visitor to the MORO, one of the
Santiago defenses, found that shell
fired from one of our ships had dis
mounted a six-inch bronze gun made
in 1888. What a vista of history is
opened by that single shot! A quar-
ter of century after the cannon be-
gan it's career, Wolfe was to die vic
torious at Quebec, and France was to
lose vast possessions on this side Of
the sea. Soon after came our war OF
independence, and the ejectment of
the English from our land; and so on,
through list OF developments in poll
tics in the new world which have been
a source Of wonder to the old world
The floating triumphant battle ship-a
moving symbol Of national power
from which came the disabling shell,
and the dismounted gun, venerable, but
scarcely a menace, may be regarded as
suggesting the condition Of the two
countries-victoriou United States
and decadent Spain.

Does the man who is addicted to vice
in any of its many phases use his
brains? On the contrary he ignores
them, pushes his logical faculty into
q corner, and foolishly allows his en-

he were to spend half an hour a day
in examining himself, and could do it
az impartially as the naturalist ex-
amines a weed or an insect, would he
voluntarily allow himself to be pois-
oned by an evil habit, or would he ex-
pect to avoid the consequences Of i'm
moral courses? His difficulty is that
he does not think half enough, or even
makes an effort not to think at all,
knowing, in vague sort Of way, that
II he thinks he will be forced to con-
denim himself. II / could persuade
