Masters and owners of the coasting fleet
are preparing for the shipping season of
1899. and general repairs upon the vessels
now in winter quarters will be III full
progress in a few days. Not for 20 years
past has the prospect for the coasting
trade been so bright as at this time, and
it is likely that all moderate sized
schooners of the eastern ..eet will find
plenty of business from the first. The
latest reports from New York are to the
effect that the demand for eastern spruce
lumber, both random and dimensions
will be from 50 to 40 per cent. better this
year than in 1898. and that the closing
prices of last year will be adopted as the
opening prices this spring. Freights are
to open. from all accounts, at nearly the
top price of last fall. There will be fewer
vessels to carry lumber this year than
last, because the great gales of last fail
and winter sent a lot of the Oldest ves-
sells as well as some of the best. to the
bottom. 1t Is estimated that the Maine
fleet will be so sail short of last year, and
that of the vesseis which sail regularly
from Bangor at least Is have been
wrecked. This will tend to keep freight
rates at a good figure.

The Increase Of Regulars.

Uncle Sam now wants $1,000 more
men for his regular army, and that
number will be enlisted as soon as pos
sible. Cards which advertise the fact
that the United States wants recruits
have been posted all over the country
and the work of building up the regu-
lar army in accordance with the army
reorganization bill, passed by the re-
firing Congress, is being pushed with
great zeal. The secretary of war has
appointed 25 additional recruiting ofli-
GERS and there are now % such officers
engaged in the work of adding recruits
to the army. Adjutant General Corbin
reports that there are today over 10000
men who have enlisted in the regular
army for three years, but it is announc-
ed that the volunteers must be mus
tered out when Spain ratifies the peace
treaty, and then this army of 10000
regulars will be far from sufficient, and
to make the army 100000. as provided
W
of recruits must be enlisted
1t is not thought that many raw re-
cruits will have to be taken. as thou
sands of the volunteers, mustered out or
about to be mustered out. have ex
pressed a desire of going back into the
service at once And then the depart
ment intends to take advantage of the
provision in the new law that $4,000
natives may be enlisted. 1t is not intend
natives. but the programme, as now
contemplated, is to form the Ameri-
cans and natives into mixed regiments.
In the Philippines. for instance. if 800
or 400 men in each of the volunteer
regiments wish to remain in the SER
vice, it is believed that the regiments
can be filled up to the full quota by the
enlisting Of natives who have shown
| their. respect for American authority.
and who have no sympathy for the
Filipino outbreak. England has had
| great success with her native troops
and we believe that as many natives
as possible should be enlisted for our
army. They are accustomed to the
climate in the new possessions, they
would consider it an honor. and we
should not have to send so many of
our boys far from home

The recent Congress was a billion
and half dollar Congress. The cOun-
try. too, is a billion and half dollar
country at this time. The expansion
in expenditures was chiefly due to the
war, though of course, part of it was
caused by an increase in population
and business. The growth in inhabi-
tants and industrial activity will con-
tinue. 1t will be advisable to practice
economy in public expenditure wher-
ever this can be done without injury to
the service, but at the same time it is
well to bear in mind that the govern
ment of 1899 can not be run for the
same amount of money that was used
in 1879 or 1889

'Tis thus the poets sing
About this time of year
OF YOU who are so queer,
So tickle. previous,
So 'changeable and devious,
In fact the very deuce
And worthy of abuse.
Today you're here,
And then you disappear.
You lure us to discard
Our heavy underclotheS:
And then it freezes hard
And nips each tender nose.
The weather sharp's predictions
Are turned to simple fictions.
When south winds ought to blow
We wade knee-deep in snow.
You are fraud. delusion.
Just sent for our confusion;
You're always at the flood,
Your name is Mud.

An amusing incident was witnessed
in a Portland street car recently.
Among the occupants of the car was
young fellow and apparently chs girl"
Their appearance and actions hardly
denoted long acquaintance with city
life, and it was easy to see that it was
case of mutual admiration. The girl
left the car in the neighborhoOd of
Longfellow square, the young fellow
continuing the trip farther on. He was
deeply absorbed in thought and failed
to notice that he had dropped photo
graph of the young lady on the seat
beside him until the car had proceeded
some blocks. When he did, however.
1t was amusing to watch his efforts to
conceal the picture without attracting
attention. He had just succeeded in
doing so. as he thought. and had re-
gained confidence in himself when he
moved slightly. bringing to light an
other photograph of the same young
lady but of different style. The
young mans face turned. red when the
passengers Uttered and he got UP and
left the car covered with confusion.
