BABY'S THINGS.

Here in a sacred drawer they lie,
And when my grief is passing sore,
I take them out and spread them nigh
The little things my baby wore.
Their very odor seem to bring
Myldainty darling back once more.
Her life, her sweetness, how they cling
To these wee things my baby wore.
All! many, many times each day,
AS often as I pass the door,
I needs must lift and put away
The little things my baby wore.
They seem to give her back to me,
Just for a moment, as of yore-
Then through my rushing tears I see
Only the things my baby wore.
o God, Jul Father! can it be
That little, sunny life is DER,
And folded through eternity
Must be the things my baby wore?
All nayi all nay! My heart declares
That somewhere On that heavenly shore
An angel, waiting, y%earning, wears
The spirit-things my baby wore.
And I shall have my own again,
The very baby girl I bore,
AS free from change, or harm or stain,
AS the soft little things she wore.
I will be patient, I will wait
Love, has such recompense in store!
Death left, like rose-leaves by the gate,
The little thing my baby wore!

LONGER THAN THE GREAT
EASTERN.

1t is forty years ago this month
since the Great Eastern was launched.
No steamer of her size has ever yet
been built. She was a disastrous fail
ure in everything but size. For a
time she was used for laying ocean
cables, but in 1888 she was sold to be
broken up. She was $4,000 tons bur-
den (modern measurement), $50 feet
long, SO feet beam, and drew % feet
of water. Her paddle engines were
1000 horse power, her propeller en-
gines LOO horsepower, and her
speed eleven knots. The largest
steamer in service is the Kaiser Will
liam der Crosse which is 64S feet long,
and of Ia, 800 tons. The steamer holds
the record for the quickest passage
across the Atlantic. Last Saturday
there was launched at Belfast, Ireland,
the steamer Oceanic of the White
Star Line, 704 feet long, So feet beam,
and of II, 043 tons. 1t is expected that
she will eclipse the RAISES William in
speed as much as she exceeds in size.
Her movements will be watched with
unusual interest because of the evil
dent intention of her builders to make
her a record breaker.

THE MARINE CORPS

The growth of the navy and the in
creasing l~iberality of Congress in pro-
viding for it's efficiency is shown by
the naval personnel bill which raises
the marine corps to 6 1000 men. Should
the senate adopt this measure as it
comes from the house of representa-
tives we shall have just three times as
many soldiers as we did before
the Spanish war.
The first American troops to land
on the soil of Cuba g marines, and
their success in repelling the attacks
of the enemy was matched by their
ucces in warding off the ap-
proach of disease. A most remarka-
BILE contrast was presented by the re-
turn of volunteers from Santiago and
marines from Guantanamo, which
proved conclusively that the latter
were well Differed and we'll cared for,
and placed another feather in the cap
of the navy department.
But it is not only in war hat the
marines are of use to their country.
American interests and the lives and
property of American citizens in for
eign cities have been protected in
times Of riot and disorder by the
landing of marines from our warships,
whose sailors could not have been
spared from their professional duties
This sort of military police, ready to
answer calls to preserve the peace,
both afoat and ashore, is an essentia
element of sea-power, and Congress
has done well to strengthen it. In
the light of our experience in peace
and war since United States marines
helped the British restore order at
Alexandria, it seems incredible that
the abolition of the marine corps h as
been seriously advocated within
twenty years.-Reporter.
