the sale of co Goa has increased in the

high value as stimulant when some
strenuous immediate task must be
done. Lord Wolseley recommends il
for soldiers on the march, and noun.
tain-climbers claim that it is their
mainstay; but, all, the same, pro.
tracted use of it plays the mischief
with the digestion of most persons and
is highly injurious to the nerves OF
many. Cocoa is sustaining and diges.
tible, and has no Objectionable effects.
1t would be a public boom if some
houses on favorite bicycle routes would
set up something akin to the old.
fashioned chocolate-houses; for the
autumn is bringing out the fact that
bicycle-riders have too often drunk Of
contaminated wells and are paying the
penalty in typhoid. Cocoa, having
been boiled, would not contain deadly
microbes.

This year will have among its note
worthy anniversaries the one hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of the death
of Isaac Watts. twill be chiefly as
writer of hymns that he will he hon.
ored by affectionate remembrance. OF
his hymns, says the Youths Com.
panion, the Christian world has chosen
few as pre-eminent. If he had
written only the hymn beginning,
80, God, our help in ages past" his
name would have a sure place in the
roll of makers of verse worthy and
destined to live. A great hymn levels
denominational barriers. While men
are talking of Christian unity, or
dreaming of it, the hymn, in its sphere
, of influence, if only for the moment
when heard or sung, makes believers
one. He who has strengthened
and inspired generations, refreshing
the saints and moving those who make
no pretensions to saintliness, may well
be remembered.

The Coming ship.


The first intimation OF the coming
700-foot steamship was given severa
years before the new Oceanic, now
building, was contracted for, to an
English municipality then contem
plating new dock building. Our re.
collection is not clear whether the in.
quiry was made on behalf Of Liver.
pool, southampton or Manchester,
but at any rate 1t was made before the
completion of the Manchester canal
and, unless we mistake, more thar
one municipality was represented
The consultation with the represents
tives of the steamship companies was
confidential, and nothing definite was
given ont beyond the resolution thai
the new, docks, with special reference
to which the inquiry was made, should
be capable of accommodating 700-fooi
ships. This resolution excited com.
ment and was not misinierpreted. In
the fullness of time, as we have seen,
the 700-foot ship materialized.
We now have the news that Liver
pool has adopted a supplemental dock
program involving an expenditure oi
$40, 900, 900, and its key is found in
the fact that provision is made for
900-foot steamships and over. We
may be quite sure that the plan in
wolves no step in the dark. 1t has
not been taken till after the proper
consultation, and is based upon actual
knowledge of future requirements.
Again several years may elapse, OF
they may not, tefore the coming 900.
foot ship is under actual construction.
The significance of Liverpool's dock
program is addressed in unmistakable
tones to New York in reference to her

The Washington Star remarks: No
portion of the Western Hemisphere is
open to the despoiler as China is. ALI
portions are reasonably safe from such
assaults. There are rich countries in
Central and South America indif-
ferently officered at times, and which
in certain circumstances would be ex-
ceedingly tempting to the buccaneer-
ing spirit of Europe. They have their
rackets among themselves, and gov
ernment there might be more secure
to the local advantage. Frequent
shifts are made, and now this leader is
up and then that. But rapid and
violent as the changes may be,
no fine old land grabber with
crown on his head ever reaches
his long arm from across the sea and
tries to profit by dissention. And
why? The Monroe doctrine forbids.
