HnladeIphla Record.
The English have great many more ships
than have the people of the United States,
but they cannot get their goods carried to
any part of the world for less cost for pro-
portionate distances than can our merchants.
All the maritime nations are competing for
our foreign carrying trade Under such cir
cumstances, what greater folly could we
commit than to subsidiZe shipping trust
to do for us at larger cost service which
others stand ready to do for us at lesser
cost?

the pig-hcaded stubbornness of the
bankers who refuse to clear South

Figuring on the Cost.

The cost of the war with Spain to date is
estimated at $500, 900. The expenses of
the navy have been greatly reduced since
the negotiation of peace but the army eX
penses still continue to be heavy. By the
time the nation has returned, to its normal
condition the extraordinary expenses will
no doubt have reached $500, 100000, and even
then our army and navy will be on a scale
of size and expense not dreamed of before

other creditors are watching him closely
and that it will not do for him to make
too great n display of wealth.

A MAN-DAY FAIRY.

The winters winds had chilled me,
THE world seemed hard and cold
And truths stern facts had filled me
With the thought that life was old.
A fairy found a flower;
She left itlat my door
And from that happy hour
My gloomy doubts Were Ger.
No idle word was spoken,
Mere words We're burdensome,
But by that fragrant token
l knew that spring had come.
And, so, oh dainty maiden,
With laughing eyes of blue
And hands so Sweetly laden,
1 give glad thanks to you.

few years ago some OF the best writer's
on the Russian empire, including Prince
Krapotkin, believed that the wheat produce
ing capabilities Of Siberia had been much
overrated and that the country would never
be able to produce much more of the cereal
than it needs for its own consumption. But
as the Siberian railroad has pushed through
new regions and thousands of Russian faml-
lies have followed its advance and made
new homes, it begins to look as though the
writer's who held pessimistic views concern
ing Siberian agriculture were mistaken. In
the Altai mining district, last year, over
100000 tons of surplus wheat we're produced
and only per cent of the available agri-
cultural lands have yet been brought into
cultivation. In the fertile steppe country
opened up by the western section of the
railroad, $500 tons of wheat were raised
for export where until recently 1t was
necessary to import wheat every year for
local consumption.
