Homeward Boundl

In the February installment of ''Sailing
Alone Around the World" Capt. Slocum
tells the readers of the Century how he
brought the Spray from Cape Town to
Fairhaven, Mass, where he had built and
launched her. This concludes the mar
rative of his single handed voyage of over
46, 600 miles, but in March he will describe.
for navigators, the construction, gear. and
rig OF his adventurous sloop.
A pleasant visit from Admiral Sir Harry
Rawson of the Royal Navy and his family
brought to an end the Sprays social rela-
tions, with the Cape of Good Hope. The
admiral, then commanding the South Afri-
can Squadron, and now in command of
the great Channel fleet, evinced the great
est interest in the diminutive Spray and
her behavior off Cape Horn, where he was
not an entire stranger. l have to admit
that l was delighted with the trend of
Admiral Rawson's questions, and that [
profited by some of his suggestions, not
withstanding the wide difference in our
respective commands.
On March 26 1898, the Spray sailed from
South Africa, the land of distances and
pure air, where she had spent a pleasant
and profitable time. The steam tug Tigre
towed her to sea from her wonted berth
at the Alfred docks, giving her good
otfing. The light morning breeze, which
scantily filed her sails when the tug let
go the line, soon died away alto
gether, and left her riding over heavy
swell, in full view of Table Mountain and
the high peaks of the Cape of Good Hope.
For while the grand scenery served to
relieve the monotony. One of the old
circumnavigators (Sir Francis Drake, I
think), when he first saw this magnificent
pile, sang, s" IT is the fairest thing and
the grandest cape I've seen in the whole
circumference of the earth.''
The view was certainly fine, but one
has no wish to linger long in calm to
look at anything, and l was glad to note,
finally, the short heaving sea, precursor
of the wind which followed on the second
day. Seals playing about the Spray all
day, before the breeze came, looked with
large eyes when, at evening she sat no
longer like a lazy bird with folded wings
They parted company now, and the Spray
soon sailed the highest peaks of the noun
tains out of sight, and the world changed
from mere panoramic view to home
ward bound voyage. Porpoises and dol
phins, and such other fishes as did not
mind making hundred and fifty miles a
day, were her companions now for several
days. The wind was from the southeast
this suited the Spray we'll, and she ran
along steadily at her best speed, while 1
dipped into the new books given me at the
cape, reading day and night. March 80
was for me a fast day in honor of them.
l read on, oblivious of hunger or wind or
sea, thinking that all was going we'll, when
suddenly comber rolled over the stern
and stopped saucily into the cabin, wet
ting the very book l was reading. Evil
dently it was time to put in a reef, that
she might not wallow on her course.

The increased demand for silver will
haps the 16-to-1 chaps may find little
late and cold comfort in It, Silver Is in
great demand just now in the far East,
India and China importing large guam
titles. The relief given by the Indian
government to the 100000 persons suf-
fering from famine seems to have called
for the coinage of silver, which has
been purchased in Europe. The silver
shipped from London to the British
East Indies in January and February
aggregated $4,000, 800, an increase of 51.4
per cent. over the like period of 1S99
To China the exports We're 1861, 995, an
increase of 63.7 per cent. The outflow
to China is thought to be silver for rail-
road work and payment of troops
Russia and Germany are both spending
money on railroads and mining conces-
Eione. The large Eastern demand
steadies the price of silver. Some 12,-
100000 fine ounces of silver have gone
out, the United States supplying so per
cent. of the amount. In addition to the
London shipments China took during
the two months $1,45S,4S2 in silver d.
rect from San Francisco, making the
total sent to the East about 4,455 900
fine ounces of silver.

JonN ADDISoN PORTER,

John Addison Porter has many friends
and admirers in Connecticut, his old
home and they will be deeply panied
to read that owing to continued ill
health he has felt obliged to resign his
place as Secretary to the President.
When Mr.. Porter went to washington
he went to very onerous duties. He
showed great tact and skill in the per-
Torrance of those duties, and he has
been an important and influential men,
Der Of the presidential family. Indeed,
it has been said that his position was
quite like that of member of the Cab
met, 1t Is not surprising that he finds
himself unable to continue his work,
which has been of nature to tax the
endul ance of the strongest. We hope
That, freed from official cares, he will
find speedy restoration to health and
opportunity for the resumption of the
career of public usefulness for which he
has shown himself so well fitted.

SOME TMPRYgSSIVE FIG URES.

Riches are increasing in this country
and so is benefcence 1t is not expected
| that the increase Of benef1cence will
keep pace with the increase of riches
but it is encouraging to see that benef-
cence is increasing as fast as it Is.
Rosster Johnston has compiled for
the forthcoming volume of Appleton's
Annual Encyclopaedia, of which he is
editor, a list of the public gifts and be-
quests which were bestowed or became
operative in the United States during
the year ending December 81, 1899. The
list only records the gifts and requests
which amount to $4,000 or over, and also
excludes the ordinary UNCONVENTIONAL
contributions for educational and be-
nevolent purposes all State and munic-
ipal appropriations to public and sec
tartan institutions and the grants of
congress for various measures Of relief.
The list, even with these limitations,
foots UP the enormous total of S62, $780,
900, which Mr. Johnston thinks lis with
out doubt the largest amount ever de-
voted TO rhilanthropic purposes as indi-
vidual offerings, in any country in one
year" It is believed that the addition
of gifts and requests under $4,000 each
and the sums contributed by individual
Americans for the equipment of the
hospital ship Maine and for the relief Of
suffering in Puerto Rico caused by the
tornado would swell the total to nearly
if not quite, $66,0C0000. A table showing
the amounts recorded in the past seven |
years aggregates $266550,o00, the largest |
annual totals being in the last three |
years In 1897 the contributions aggre- |
gated $4,000, 900; in 1898, the year of |

100000, which, though the smallest of
the three years, was over $5,0O0,O00 more
than the highest of the first four of the
seven-year period. Last years $62,750,-
900 was considerably over $1S,0ooO 900
above the average Of the preceding six
years.
These gigantic figures show that many
fortunate ones are mindful of their duty
to their less fortunate fellow beings and

They talk hard about life in Chicago,
but let 1t be recorded that in that du-
bious city one railroad company and
three large mercantile firms have issued
orders prohibiting cigarette smoking
by employees Some eleven hundred per-
sons are affected by these orders, of
whom nearly nine hundred are boys UNI
der eighteen years old. 1t is stated
that fully six hundred Of these boys,
now compelled to stop smoking under
penalty of losing their places, had been
addicted to the cigarette habit. The OBJ
jections underlying the prohibition are
thus stated by the employers: That the
smell of nicotine from the breath of
employees is annoying to customers and
to other employees who are not users.
That nicotine demoralizes the employee
make the employee nervous. That they
stunt his mental growth, befog his mem
DRY, and prevent an alert intellect That
physically they affect the employe so
that he cannot give the best service to
the employer.
We don't know Just how solid all
these objections are, but there is no
doubt about the disgust cigarettes ex-
cite in most of those who don't use
them. Chicago is leading the way in
reform which ought to become general

Glass manufacturers In Indiana are
preparing for the time, thought to be
rapidly nearing, when natural gas will
be exhausted, and other sources of
cheap heat and power will have to be
sought. According to a correspondent
of the Indianapolis News, the manufac-
turers in Muncie are making and stor-
ing great quantities of glass One of
the Muncie concerns has acre after
acre of finished ware piled high in it's
mammoth warehouses, much of the
goods having been carried for more
than year. The same condition exists
in most Of the larger factories in the
gas belt, and those that lack capital
are borrowing money for the purpose.
Glass can be manufactured more cheap
~ with natural gas than in any other
way. 1t was this that led to the es-
Establishment of so many factories in the
gas belt. The supplies are accumulat-
ed in anticipation of a necessity to
move, and in the expectation that
prices will be higher when coal sup
plants gas as fuel.
