"THE IDEAL MAN."
The subject of the Second Sermon in a
Series by Rev. Carlos H. Hanks.

Sunday evening Rev. Carlos H. Hanks,
of the Congregational church, delivered
his second sermon on "Ideals" before an
exceedingly large congregation. The
subject was "The Ideal Man." Text
Kings 2:2. He said in part:
We need to know the value of a man.
One way to know the value of anything
is through the cost. read a sermon re-
Gently by Rev. Mr.. Hale, of Brookline,
Mass, on the Cost Of Man." In it he
urges us to consider what each one has
cost the world, cost himself, and cost
God. The dying king, in our text, seems
to realize somewhat the worth of man,
and urges and entreats his son and sue
cessor to live the life of u true man.
What are some of the essential ele-
ments of the ideal, the true life of man?
The ideal man ia first of all really and
truly man. Not child, not woman,
but man-lives the life and does the
work Of man. He is also the man of
today. He is living and working in a
perpetual today-not tomorrow-and is
controlled by great purpose. He does
not forget that woman is his mother, and
is even more tenderly devoted to her
than knights in ancient story. He does
not forget that God is his father and so,
lives and tolls in harmony with Him.
Next Sunday evening the third sermon
OF the series will be on ''The Ideal Wo-
man."

PROTECTING A RECRUIT.
Capt. CaprOn's Way of Managing
 the Soldiers Under Him in Cuba.

One morning on Misery hill I wit messed sample of Capt. Capron's meth ods with his men, says a writer in the New York Sun. It is a time-honored custom in the regular army to give rookie, or new recruit. much more than his fair share of fatigue duty. The regulations protect each man. but it takes the recruit some time to learn his rights. On the morning, in ques- tion CaprOn's men had received orders to build their intrenchments higher. A corporal had put lone private at work carrying gunnysacks of sand and pill ing them along the battery trenches.

ENGLAND's GRIP ON THE SEA.
Her Control of the Worlds Ocean
 Commerce Is Over 55 Per Cent.

Thanks to their aggressive govern ment, the British carriage and control of the worlds commerce is over 55 per cent. Fifty other nations share to the extent of 45 per cent. or less. More than so per cent. of the worlds ship ping in terms of potential tonnage is built in Great Britain. Less than 20 per cent. is built by the 50 other coun- tries. In 1872 only IA per cent. of the steam tonnage launched in the world was built by the 50 countries outside of the United Kingdom. The United States is the only nation that is inde- pendent of British yards. Our regis try law has attended to this. Since 1792 American shipping must be American built. The United States is the only country outside of Europe that can build to perfection every kind of ship that goes to sea. Thank our registry law for that.
 British supremacy at sea and in com merce was obtained more than 200 years ago. For the command of the sea, and of trade, and the riches of the world, Great Britain has protect ed ship building and ship owning, while most of the nations did nothing for these two great interests. Not only ner legisla tive power, but her armed au- thority, has been eXerted vigorously. She has fought bloody wars, overcome inferior powers, trapped rivals into treaties, spent millions upon millions in supporting steam lines, and scores upon scores of millions for the build ing and maintenance of an unequaled navy for general intimidation. Vast sea power, immense wealth and prevail ing prosperity have been the reward All these things. s.with ether advantages, have been gained by the use of ship ping, but without this instrumentality would have been secured.- Mercantile Magazine.

The poor fellow staggered back and forth with the heavy bags. fairly drip ping with precipitation. The other men of the battery were scattered about in the shade of the trees. taking their ease. Capt. Capron emerged from his tent, and with a grim smile surveyed the scene. Then he shouted:
 You, sir! Come here, sir.'
 The rookie marched up, sack on back. As he said himself, he was scared stiff"
 Capron looked him over sternly:
 Drop that sack, sir"
 The recruit dropped it as if it had been red hot.
 Stand at attention. sir.''
 The order was obeyed with evident apprehension as to what was coming next.
 Don't you know your rights, sir? Because you are willing horse they are working you to death. One man, sir, doesn't do all the work of battery. The first sergeant will instruct you. That will do, sir!"
 By the time Capron had completed his reprimand and reentered his tent q dozen privates had carried sack each to the trenches ard the rockies morn ing task had been completed in about three minutes.

BIRDS SEEN IN GREENLAND.
4 Member of the Penry Expeditions Tells of Curious Feath-
 cred Bipeds.

At a meeting of the Linnaean society held recently in the library of the American museum of natural history a paper was read by J. D. Higgins. en- titled Notes on Birds Observed in Greenland with the Polar Expeditions of 1896-7." MT. Higgins, who is an as sstant taxidermist in the museum, ac- companied Lieut.. Peary on his e1pe- ditions and made exhaustive notes upon the bird life observed.
 He began his paper by explaining that the majority of the birds of Green land were water fowl. Aside from the gyrfalcon and the raven, he collected but three varieties of land birds-the snow bunting and two closely allied species. Many of the water birds were very bold, and would approach within gunshot if some bright object was waved in the air. Numbers flew about the ship, seemingly inspired with cu- riosity.
 Large quantities of these creatures are eaten by the Eskimos. and count less bones are scattered about the yil- Iages. Some of the gulls take their young to the water as soon as they leave the egg. Numbers of these young sters were seen. apparently at perfect ease while a heavy sea was running.
 MT. Higgins described the putin. which sheds it's bill at regular inter- vals, having a different bill for every season of the wear.

Turkeys Tracked by Dogs.

The wild turkey in the Ozarks is now hunted with slow-tracking dog, and whole flocks are often killed in this way. Till the trained dog was en- Ployed to follow up the wary bird this game fowl could baff1e the most skill full hunter. Now when a flock of tur- keys is found the sportsman has little difficulty. A good dog will follow a turkey track that is three or four hours old and set the birds when overtakcn, just as the pointer does the quail. After the turkey has been chased awhile it hides in tree or under a log, and stays there until the hunter, guided by his dog comes within close range. It is as tonishing what fine instinct a good turkey dog will develop after a few months of training in the woods. He will follow flock of turkeys for hours Just ahead of the hunter. and indicate by unmistakable signs when the game is near. After a turkey has received a fatal shot it may fly half mile or more. 4 trained dog will go straight to wounded or dead turkey with the same Percision with which he tracks the game.-Chicago Record.

Money in Sand.

The assessed valuation of a cargo of sand recently shipped from Bahia, Bra gil, to Germany, was S97.3 This sand. known to commerce as monazite sand, because of the presence in it of large number of crystals of a phosphate of the rather rare ceTium metal. is found i'll Brazil only, in the state of Bahia, near little village called Prado, on the southern coast. At present there is discussion in progress between the general government of Brazil and the state government of Bahia as to the ownership of the lands where this sand occurs. The general government bases it's claim on the fact that, in accordance with law, it has a right to strip along the coast B meters in width, measured from half way between high and low tide, and in accordance with this claim the government has granted the priv ilege of removing this sand to an Amer ican, resident in Brazil. On the other hand. the state Of Bahia has given concession for the removal of the sanC to a local company.-Philadel Rec ord.
