The Question of Incense.

There is a discussion in England just
now over the propriety OF burning incense
in churches OF course, the Catholic
Church has always done this. and for that
reason some of the Protestant churches
are violently opposed to it. To dispas-
sionate observer the whole discussion ap-
pears slightly ridiculous. Labouchere, OF
London Truth" has something to say in
this connection which adds to the absurd
! ity of such a tempest in a teapot. He says
that the odor of incense obviates some
of the unpleasantness in the atmosphere
OF large and mixed crowd, and that he
would be glad to have pot of it some
where about whenever he goes to the
House OF Commons.
1t would be rather far fetched TO say
that the burning of incense originated in
/ the desire to purify the AR from the con-
1 sequences of a large and not overclean
crowd, but it is fact that some of the
materials used for this purpose are anti
septic as well as pleasant in their effects.
! II is not impossible that those inscrutably
( wise people the priests of ancient times.
did have some such idea when they prac-
tieed incense burning long before the
Christian era At any rate, there can be
no objection to the custom. save a senu-
mental prejudice, and there are several
philosophical reasons in favor Of it.
The odor CT a burnt offering might very
well be offensive to the nostrils of anyone,
since it means that some innocent animal
has yielded up its life for the pretended
benefit of religion. But incense is differ
ent thing. The fragrance is pleasant, it
is not oppressive. and it is suggestive.
Its suggestiyeness is undoubtedly RESPONSE
Bile for its continued use.
Everyone knows that the human memory
is more closely connected with the olfac-
| tory nerve than with any other nerve in
the body. The fragrance of heliotrope. or
Of new-mown hay. or of pine woods, or of
less pleasant objects. will call up recolIec-
tions many years old with instantaneous
swiftness. The influence of this sense
upon the mind is so powerful as sometimes
/ TO reproduce the most vividly actual SEN
sations, pleasant or unpleasant. which
were once associated with the odor. This
! being SO, why should not this ex-
traordinarily close connection between
! thought and the olfaetory organs be
made use Of? The smell of incense
is associated, in the minds of many
persons, with the highest impulses
and the most reyerent thoughts of their
lives. II that fragrance will help them
to control their passions and become calm
gentle. and humble. IL even for a short
time. why in the world should it not be
employed? The same effect is sometimes
produced by familiar words associated with

could have but one ending. but it would
he apt TO first involve a serious expenditure
of money and lives, and might witness the
ruthless destruction of all Of the great
mining plants established in the land by
British money and enterprise.
President Kruger is a man of great ma
but, like most of his people, he is preju-
diced and desperate to degree hardly con-
ceiyable by Americans. AS an illustration
Of this, it is stated that he is prepared, in
case Of any overt act on the part of Eng
land. TO seize the leading British residents
OF the country and hold them as hostages.
That would mean their murder in certain
contingencies; a step he would not hesi-
tate for one moment to take, if thereby he
thought he could frighten his adversary
from further aggressions, or wreak ven
gence for an invasion of the Transvaal.
He has been buying field artillery freely,
and is in a good condition for defensive
fighting. He has threatened to blow up ev-
eryone of the johannesburg mines the in
slant an English force crosses the border;
and neither he nor any other Boer expects
to give up without fight to the last ditch
All this is very regrettable. because, to
judge from present appearances, the Brit
ish Government will be compelled to send
an expedition against the Transvaal, not
withstanding the threats and preparations
of its chief. Should Kruger and his people
reply to this movement by loot, devasta-
| tion, and massacre at johannesburg. re-
prisals would surely be made and the only
result possible would be the expunging OF
the little Dutch State from the map ot
nations.
Most leaders OF British opinion deplore
| such prospect and hope that the BoeI
authorities may come to their senses be-
| fore 1t shall be too late. Some of them
like Sir Charles Wentworth Dixie, advo-
cate friendly mediation by the United
States, thing hardly liable to happen
however; but all are impressed with the
seriousness of existing conditions. Troop:

steamer, and within the next two or thres
weeks, it is probable that an imperial force

After-Dinner Orntory.
CFrom the Atlanta Journal.)

(FrOm the Atlanta Joufnal)
After dinner speeches more frequently
bore than otherwise At almost every banquet
there are too many of them. This abuse has
been carried 50 far that sensible men usually
go to banquet with very doleful apprehensons
and escape as soon as they without being
conspicuously rude. Almost every American eiti-
zen believes that he is born orator and never
loses chance TO try to convince others that
his opinion OH that point is correct.
The gift Of after-dinner speaking IS very
rare one. Not one in fifty who make a
good speech on other occasions succeeds in this
line of oratory Why can we not have reform
in our after dinner speaking habits? A truly
happy speech with the walnuts and wine is a
delight, but how seldom we hear one James
Russell Lowell said that his best aiter-dinner
speeches were made when he going home in
his cab. And he was unexcelled in the delicate
art of banquet speaking.
His modest confession suggests practical re-
form. Why cannot gentlemen who arc fond Of
speaking after dinner and have no capacity for
doing so be assigned subjects upon which they
can crate as they are being taken home after
the feastY

TUBULAR MARINE BOILERS.
They VIII BE Installed in the Maine
and Other Ships.

The Navy Department has decided 10 Use
only water-tuhe boilers in future warships
OF this country. Heretofore cylindrical
boilers have mainly been employed The
new battleship Maine will be the first yes
sci of the larger type to be supplied wholly
with tube boilers. and her consignment will
consist of twenty-four generators Of the
Niclausse type. q boiler of French design.
1t was this form of boiler which was en-
psoyed on the Spanish cruiser Cristobal
Colon.
The NicIausse boiler is one OF several
French designs which, according to official
reports. are giving excellent results in
warships The Bslleville a French de-
sign, has been officially adopted for the
British navy. The British cruisers Pow
erfuI and Terrible the two largest armored
cruisers in the world, each carry forty
eight Belleville boilers, arranged twenty
four on a side.
The main advantage claimed for water
tube boilers Is a saving in weight. Steam
can be raised in an incredibly short time
from cold water. 1t is recorded from
number of ships that the engines We're
turning in less than twenty-five minutes
from the time fires were lighted under cold
water. The weight saving, however, Is to
warships the more important consideration
OF the two since in the designs OF lighting
craft weight must be sacrificed on all sides.
saving in engine and boiler weights,
for instance, makes it possible to increase
the ammunition supply or the coal supply,
and the ship becomes that much more
efficient.
The Maine and her sister battleships
will be the first large war craft OF tins
country to be wholly supplied with tubular
boilers The Maine's boilers VIII be ar
ranged in three groups OF eight boilers
each. and each group will be subdivided oy
the eentre-line bulkhead. There will be
fifteen elements of twenty-four tubes IN
each boiler. the whole number Of elements
being $50 and the number of tubes S,64o.
The total heating surface will equal 5S,lO4
square feet. while the total CRATE surface
will be 1853 square feet. The Maine s
boilers are designed TO carry steam at
working pressure of $50 pounds per square
inch above the atmosphere The engines
are expected to develop l6.e00 horse power.
This is practically the designed Morse
power OF such steamers as the Teutonlc
and Majestic of the White Star Line, ana
the New York, of the American Line Ine
total weight OF the machinery and boilers
of the Maine, including water in the boil
ers, will be 1896 tons.
Reports from the yards OF the builders
state that the hull Of the new Maine Is now
up to the protective deck.

ENGLISH INSANE AsYLUMs.
Statistics Showing That Lunacy Is
Steadily Increasing.

London. June 1.-THE opening of the
new Manor Asylum on the Horton estate
near EPSON yesterday had a grim interest
for Londoners, showing as it does the
gradual way in which the metropolis is
being girt about with a ring of similar
institutions.
When the county council took over the
control OF the metropolitan lunatics it had
four asylums. Since then a new asylum
has been completed and opened at Clay
bury Another is nearly finished at Bex-
ley: third is to be built on the Horton
estate CEpsom). while the accommodation
of the already existing Cane Hill has been
increased from LOO to 1000 Further ad-
ditional temporary buildings have had TO
be erected at HanweIl for 800, and at Col
ney Hatch for another 300.
Starting from the city then and going
northward we have the Colney Hdtch Asy-
lum. Passing to the east we have the new
Claybury Asylum, near Woodford, opened
in 1898 Coming due south we find asy-
lums at Cane Hill. Banstead. Bexley. and
EPSON; while to the west some eight or
nine miles out there is the Hanwell Luna
tic Asylum.
The imbeciIes are, of course, under the
control OF the Metropolitan Asylums
Board. which boards them in three insti-
tutions at Leavesden. Darenth, and Cater
ham Even in this class there is pro-
posal to build yet further accommodation
at footing As a mere matter Of bricks
and mortar, therefore, lunacy statistics are
anything but pleasant reading. From
what we may call the -and-blood
standpoint they are more unpleasant still,
Here are the numbers of the inmates OF
the various asylums.

Receipts from import duties at Manila are

were during the preceding six years while the
Spaniards were in control. notwithstanding the
fact that the tariff rates have been greatly re-
duccd and the business Of the city and sur

rection of Aguinaldo's forces. The inevitable
conclusion from this is that the Spanish officials

With the intimacy OF relationship between Eng
land and America which all men can now see
to exist, it is too bad that a party OF selfish
Canadians should be taking position in respect
to the Alaskan boundary that threatens to make
it a source of irritation between the two coun-
tries. 1t is as plain as anything be that
those Canadians are pressing their irritating and
unreasonable demands because they believe the
universal feeling in the United States against
any interruption oi the friendly relations between
England and the United States will drive the
Americans into yielding 20 their unreasonable
claims Such a thought is very exasperating, but
the representatives, of the United States must
not allow anything TO raise even cloud be
tween the two countries. It would be worse
than useless if anything should 90 so, for Ameri-
cans and Englishmen in a body would take hold
OF the subject and end the incident as soon as it
threatened to become serious, as they did in the
case of Venezuela. Nothing will be allowed to
