A JONAH ON sH1pBoARD.
Recurring MiSfortunes Soon Mako .
Crew Believe q Passenger
= "HOodOO.o

1t does not take long series of mis-
fortunes overtaking a ship to convince
her crew that q ,ineal descendant of
Jonah and an inheritor of his disagree
able disquali:;cations, is a B. passenger.
So deeply rooted is this idea that when
once it has been aroused with respect
to any member Of ships company,
that person is in evil case, and, given
lifting opportunity, would actually be
in danger OF his life. This tinge of re-
ligious fanaticism, cropping up among
a class of men who, to put it mildly,
are not remarkable for their knowledge
OF Scripture, also shows itself in con-
nection with the paper upon which
good words" are printed. 1t is an I'M
heard of misdemeanor on board ship to
destroy or put to common use such pa
per. The man guilty of such an action
would be looked upon with horror by
his shipmates, although their current
speech is usually vile and blasphemous
beyond belief. And herein is to be
found curious distinction between
seamen Of Teutonic and Latin races,
excluding Frenchmen, says the London
Spectator.
Despite the superstitious reverence
the former pay to the written word,
none of them would in time of peril
dream of rushing to the opposite ex-
IRENE, and. after madly abusing their
Bibles. throw them overheard. But the
excitable Latins, after beseeching their
patron saint to aid them in the most
agonizing tones, repeating with fren-
zied haste such prayers as they can re-
member. and promising the most cost
ly gifts in the event of their safely
reaching port again, aften turn furious
ly upon all they have previously been
worshiping, and. with the most horrid
blasphemies, vent their rage upon the
whilom objects of their alteration.
Nothing is too sacred for insult, no
name too reverent for abuse, and should
there be, as there often is, an image of
a saint on board, it will probably be-
cast into the sea.

Limitations OF Wealth.

The question as to whether the rich
man can get more out OF life than tho
man OF moderate means has received
a fresh illustration from the report Of
a recent speculation on on the Stock
Exchange in which the son of tho
leading magnate on the Standard Oil
company is said to have cleared $780,
900.
LII that is the best use to which this
sordld youth can put his life and tai.
ents, then his share in this worlds
blessings is small indeed and he is
not TO be envied. IL out of all the
opportunities offered him he appre-
ciates only the chance of becoming a
sordid gambler-a greedy grabber of
other peoples'money-he is as poor as
il he needed his gains to live on. II
at the age Of ambition and aspiration
OF generous sentiments and high
ideals, this young man sees in life on
~ the chance of heaping up more
money which he cannot spend and
does not know how rightly to use
his Life is failure and his fortune
Is not distin ction but failure.
Sad and melancholy beyond ex-
preston is this illustration of all that
boundless wealth can do for the heir
to one OF the greatest fortune s in the
-world.-N. Y, World.

The man with the weed thanked
him and murmured something ap-
propriate.

WHENCE TRUSTS?

All sorts Of excuses and apologies
are made for the existence Of trusts,
but the true source, origin and parent
OF all trusts lies in an inadequate sup
ply OF money. Political economists
are agreed that all dollars of actual
money may safely do the work of
from ten to fifteen dollars, but we are
making that dollar do the work of
over 800 dollars, The actual figures
based upon the data furnished by the
Government, the agency reports and
statistics of prosperity furnished by
the gold standard newspapers are
$335.25 Of business on one dollar cap
ital.
Our entire gold stock is .S750'OOOOOO
Our entire silver stock is 63O,OO0,OOO
Total actual money $3.50, 100000
Upon that actual capital we are do
ing business, including all of our
public and private Indebtedness
amounting to over S25,OO0,OOO, 900
which that money must pay, amount
ing to 1891 ,250,000,OO0. All this bus.
mess Is practically based upon the
gold standard because the actual
amount Of silver money in circulation
is over Sl27, 100000, which including
scent nickels and copper pennies
amounting to S24,O0O,OGO, leaves us
about 1901 100000. 1t is impossible
to multiply our stock OF money fast
enough to satisfy the demands of
business and hence the makeshift of
individual credit money, such as
stocks, bonds, prOmissory notes, bank
notes, ETC.. which are all certificates
OF indebtedness and must he paid by
some one. 1t is upon this credit
money that trusts are based and there
can never be any cure of the trL st
evil until we have accretures to our
circulating medium sufficient to make
them unnecessary. With gold this
can never be done, because the metal
is essentially migratory and seeks the
greatest creditor, which is England.
We are the producers and cannot be-
come the creditor nation. for money ~
the only badge Of a creditor, more
over we have withdrawn from our
product the most valuable of them all
-silver-and permit the non produce
ing nations to absorb it all at a cheap
price and sell it back to us at gold
standard value.-Ex.

troops was an impressive fact.

I got we'll, I asked him for my bill, but
he declined any compensation for his
services, assuring me that he was glad
to do anything for American officers.

in Ponce was the residence Of very in.

The lady talked very enthusiastically
about tho prospects Of American SOW

that she had very good idea Of the
former government and its effect upon
