''Oh, Job, is that you?" cried Ray.
AYE, aye, boy. Are you all right %
''All right; but hurry, Job, for I'm
drifting out to sea-"
The boat had struck an eddy which
was rapidly hurrying it around the
point. Ray quickly saw the new dan
ger. What was to be done? He dared
not wait for assistance, for before Job
could get to the foot of the ladder he
would be beyond reach. He looked
about him for help.
At the very foot of the tower the re-
ceding tide had left bit of the jagged
reef exposed. If he could grasp that
he would be safe. But between him and
it were the floating cakes of ice. Could
he reach it?
Grasping the painter of the boat in
his left hand he stood upon the thwart
of the life boat and sprang boldly. for
ward. The ice gave way under him
and he fell. the drifting cakes parting
and thrusting him under. But his fin
gers had just reached the rock, and.

only for an instant. Then a huge cake

all became dark.
When Ray recovered his senses he was
lying in his own bed in the ligh house
and wondering how he got there. His
mother was bending over him and smil-
ing through her tears.

MARRIAGES FORBIDDEN.
The Decline of the HarmOniSts said
to Have Been Due to This
Strange Law.

The Harmonists believe that one OF
the elements of their success was their
celibacy, while, as d matter of fact they
were eminently prosperous before they
determined, under deep religious in
fuence, to abandon marriage. Not
their belief in the second coming of
Christ, but the diligent manner in
which they titled the fields and oper-
ated their manufactures, prospered
them, until celibacy eXterminated
them. When they came to America, in
1905, under the leadership of George
Rapp, they were 500 strong. They To-
Gated at Harmony, Pa. Pooling ali
their possessions. they bought land and
went diligently to work clearing and
cultivating the soil, erecting buildings
and pursuing trades. During the
first year, $50 acres of ground were
cleared, so log houses erected and a
church, grist mill, large barn and
shops. Next. year they cleared 400
acres, built sawmill, tannery. distil-
lery, brick storehouse and planted
vineyard of four acres. They raised
grain enough for themselves and 600
bushels to sell. besides 5000 gallons of
whisky. In 1909 they produced 5000
bushels of corn. $500 of wheat, 1900
of rye, 5000 of oats, 10000 of potatoes,
1000 pounds of flax and hemp, and so
gallons of sweet oil from the poppy. The
same year they made their first piece
of cloth from yarn spun by hand. In
1910 they erected wooden factory, for
the making OF broadcloth.
In this. the fifth year of their organi-
cation, they had 1000 acres under cult
walton, a large stock of the finest sheep
and cattle, and large surplus for sale
from every department of Dor. They
had their own carpenters. blacksmiths
wagonmakers, coopers, shoemakers,
hatters, tailors, masons. wheelwrights
and saddlers. A similar picture may
be presented of each of the OTTER com
munities. 1t was the aim of all the
communities to produce and manufac-
ture everything they consumed. Like
the Harmonists, they endeavored to
produce a surplus for sale. Thus the
Shaker garden seeds, for three-quarters
of century. were accepted as the best
in the United States. The Oneida Per-
fectionists were famous for their silk
twist, and the Amanas for their wooden
stuffs. One Shaker community manu-
featured washing machines and man
giles on a large scale, and another slaves
for molasses hogsheads. The chief aim
of each community was to make only
a good article, and secure trade by rigid
honesty. The communists were care
full and thorough farmers. Their farm
were models for convenience
and comfort of animals. Their tillage
was clean and deep, and their orchards
the best variety of fruits.
They possessed in their homes greater
comforts than their neighbors on the
same plane of Iife.=Ainslee's.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

The consumption of cotton per head
Of GermaDy's population has more than
doubled since 1875.
In all Ceylon there are only 5000 Eu-
ropeans, as against 3,250,000 natives.
The island is almost as large as Ireland,
and tea planting is the chief industry.
In Zante, one of the Ionion islands,
there is petroleum spring which has
been known for nearly 5000 years 1t
is mentioned by Herodotus.
Experiments recently made in Eu-
rope with 40 different kinds of German,
French and American sugar beet seeds
show that German seed is by far the
best.

The population of Bolivia is about
100000. This total is divided into
100000 whites, 100000 half-castes and
100000 domesticated Indians. There
are in addition some 100000 wild In

An extraordinary floor has been laid
in the London coal exchange. 1t is
constructed of inlaid wood. and the
pieces are arranged so as to represent
the mariners compass. Some of the
slabs of wood. of which there are alto
gether 1900, have interesting historical
associations. Thus the one forming the
haft of the dagger in the city corpora
ton arms is portion of a tree planted
by Peter the Great when he worked as
n shipwright at Deptford.

The Mother OF Trusts.

One of the stock arguments in favor
of protection is knocked into smither-
Gems by Commissioner Chamberlain, of
the government navigation bureau, III
his pamphlet favoring subsidies. He
shows conclusively that there is no
good reason why a protective tariff
should now be maintained in this coun-
try. In treating of the marked increase
of interest in the establishment of an
American merchant marine, Mr.. Cham
berlain attests to the necessity for such
marine service by stating that it is
demanded for the carrying of American
goods abroad. ''Our manufactures
have developed SO rapid! he says.
that the place the home market filled
in the political discussions of Is or 30
years ago is now filled by the foreign
markets. This reduces protection
down TO what we all know it has de-
scended- 1t has become a factor in
Strengthening and fostering the trust

COLD VS.. SILVER.

eff there is any one who believes
tile Gold standard Is Il good thing, or
that it must be maintained, l warn
him not to cast his vote for me, be-
cause promise him it will not be
maintained in this country longer
than / am able to get rid Of it."-
This language was used by Hon.
William Jennings Bryan in speech
at Knoxvill, Tenn, on Sept. 16, 1896.
1t will be noticed that Mr.. Bryan
does not want the vote of "any one
who believes the Gold Standard is a
good thing" Can any one believe
otherwise after witnessing our sound
business and financial prosperity since
the Gold Standard law has been en-
acted?
Mr.. Bryan made a "promise" to
the American voters that the Gold
Standard law "will not be maintain
tanned in this country longer than ]
am (he is) able to get rid of it." The
election of Mr.. Bryan to the Presi
dency would, therefore, be immedi-
ately followed by attacks upon the
financial integrity of the United
States and of every individual citi-
zen. The result would be a repeti-
tion of the business panic and disas-
ter that we experienced during the
last democratic administration.

There are several strings to Mr..
Bryan's nomination bow, but none OF
them will stand the November strain.
Owing to the backwardness of the
country in responding to the Demo-
cratic appeals to start fire in the
rear of the America soldiers in the
field, Mr.. Bryan may have to do a
little more paramounting before the
end of the campaign.
The leading German-American cit
liens are vigorously resenting tn G
Democratic notion that they are an
tognistic to the government. The
Ge rman voter is for stability in all
tn ings and at all times.
Chairman Jones insists that it is
not the square thing to discuss his
round cotton bale trust.
SO far Mr.. Bryan has had the
greatest difficulty with those mem
bers Of his audiences who insist up
on him explaining his predictions of
four years ago.
1t is a mistake to assume that Mr..
Bryan has not gained anything by
his utteranees on 'imperialism."
His reputation for trick politics has
been added to materially.

to have noticed no particular demand,

Put Through His PAGES.

The wealthy Briton is confessedly
the most fastidious man living as to
the quality of bis personal domestic
service. The concentrated energy with
which an Englishman will rebuke his
servant for an offense so slight that
the average American fails to observe
1t bears out the above statement, and
1t is this social condition that has de-
veloped the hyperaristocradc intelli-
gence office in London.
Those who propose changing serv'
ants are not content with references
and a perfunctory interview with the
man or maid under consideration. but
insist upon a full dress rehearsal OF
both manners and appearance.

his calves, the haughtiness Of his pose,
as well as breeding in handling a

Nothing is taken for granted. The
master and the mistress sit BY and dis
cuss the points of groom or butler as
they would those of high priced horse

with great seriousness by the upper
class Englishmen, and for that reason
nothing is left to luck In peopling the
