The "teaseT" is an empty bladder tied

by the male representatives Of English

STEER BY THE STAR.

Night on the sea and one lone ship
In the midst Of the darkness there;
A trackless waste spread all about,
And the blackness everywhere.
But cleaning in the sky above
Are seen the beacons of the night,
Set there to guide that lonely ship
Across the pathless sea Alright.
The waves roll high and toss the ship,
plaything on their tUrbid crest;
The sea lifts up its eager arms
And opens wide its heaying breast
But safely still the vessel rides,
For one there is who guides Alright.
Because his eyes are fixed upon
Those faithful bescons Of the night.
No vessel sailing DER life's sea
But safely may the harbor ind
II the Great Beacon Of the sky
Be ever kept in sight and mind.
The light at times may shine but dim,
The way seem dark, the harbor far,
But he cannot get OF the course
Who guides his vessel by the Star.

Wages Advancing.

An unmistakable sign of prosperity
is the ten per cent. advance of wages
which went into effect in New England
manufacturing cities and towns in De-
cembcr and at the beginning of the
present year. At least 70, ,0C0 operatives
are directly affected by this increase.
This means the distribution of a vastly
greater amount of money among the
working people than has been the case
for years, and consequently larger
spendings and larger savings. 1t is eX-
cellent evidence of greater prosperity
already arrived, and an earnest of still
greater prosperity to come. For pros
pcrity grows with prosperity; the
mills whose profits permit them to
make this increase in their employees
wages may, through easier times else
where, actually find their profits in
crcasing as a result of their own eX-
penditure. This seeming paradox is
not so much of a mystery as it seems
superfcially, for it has been explained
in the returns from business invest
ments many times. The increase is a
cheerful sign for the new year. Gener-
ally the presidential year is a bad one
for business, but the present bids fair
to become a happy exception to the
rule.-Eouth's Companion.

ASLAZE IN MID-OCEAN.
Officers of the Steamer RhynIand Re-
port Meeting the Ship Soil elm, Aban-
doneG and on Fire,

Philadelphia, March THE Ameri
can line steamship Rhynland arrived
here Tuesday from Liverpool and re-
ported having sighted the Norwegian
ship Solheim, from Mobile for Fleet
wood, Eng, abandoned and on fire.
The Rhynland sighted the burning
ship on February 27 at a distance OF
II miles. The American liner imne-
diately changed her course and went to
the vessel to take off any one who
might be aboard the ship, but found
no signs of life. The fire was burning
fiercely from the stern to the midship,
the after part of the ship having al
ready been gutted. All the sails of the
ship had either been scorched or
burned.
Not finding any life the Rhynland
blew her whistle for quite a while in
the hope that the crew of the vessel
might be within hearing and make
their whereabouts known, but the
Rhynland saw nothing and proceeded.
The Solheim is supposed to have
carried Il crew of from Is to 20 men.
Her captains name was Metsen. The
vessel had a cargo of yellow pine lum-
Der. The Solheim was spoken on Feb
ruary and is supposed to have been
spoken on February IS. She was for
merly the British ship Norwood, built
in St John. y. b., in 1874.

Mr.. Bryan, it seems. is in favor of TIE
United States acquiring new territory
even when, as in the case of the Philip
pines, it is not contiguous TO the states
of the union. provided the people are
intelligent enough TO form part of the
republic. This declaration is very
much akin to flop on the question OF
expansions: for one of the aXiOms of
the anti-impcrialists is that there is
a mysterious though ineXorable law
of nature against anncXing noncontig-
uous territory. Moreover. the anti
imperialists never tire of telling the
world how Intelligent the Filipinos
are. Many, indeed, go so far as to say
that they are quite as intelligent as
the average Americans. But if that
view is correct. there can be no possible
objection to the acquisition of the is
lands, according to Mr. H:yGn. And,
on the other hand if that gentleman
continues 20 oppose the retention Of
the Philirnincs. he will have to Justify
his course by denying the anti-i1n-
perialist assumption of Filipino en-
lightenmcnt, which will be cmbarrass-
ing all arourd.-N. Y. Tribune.
