A Formula of Painful Memory.


Last Monday a woman who lives on
Morgan street took her five-year-old
son to a photographers to have his
picture taken. She was anxious to
secure a good likeness at this particu-
lar sitting because she wished TO dis
tribute the pictures among some
friends who were then her guests.
The child's idea of the affair, how
ever, did not, apparently, harmonic
with that of his mother. For when
the man with the camera began to ad-
just the lens and direct 1t toward little
Edward the young person set up what
was unquestionably a howl.
In vain did the mother call into use
her utmost forensic abilities. Edward
did not want his picture taken.

ly, 'the gentleman won't hurt you.
Just smile and KEEP still a moment
and it will be all over before you

his cheeks, "but that's what you told

Our Mails on the Ocean.

One of the fayorite claims put forth
by American free traders who oppose
legislation for the upbuilding of our
shipping in the foreign trade is the
one which pretends that the subsidies
paid by Great Britain is merely for the
carriage OF mails, and they endeavor
to create the impression that it is a
purely business transaction having no
regard for the interests of the British
ships thus subsidized. But the failacy
of this claim is apparent when We find
an eminent BTiton, member of Par
lament, and famous for his agitation
in favor of reduced charges for mail
ransportation-J. Henniker Heaton-
make the following quotation in let
ter to the British Postmaster Gen
eral few years ago. Said Mr.. Heat
on:
when, however, l introduced a
resolution on the subject on March 80
last. Mr.. II. II. Fowler, then Secretary
to the Treasury stated that already,
even at the present high charges. there
is loss of e365,O00 a year, or e1,0O0
day, on the foreign and colonial SER
vice of the British postoflice."
The difference between the subsidy
paying British nation and our own is
that the former loses about $1,000 900
on the transaction, while the United
States, on the other hand, earns
about s2,000.000 a year net, over ex-
penses, for the carriage of It's foreign
mails. The passage of the ship sub
sidy bill now pending in Congress,
however. will effect needed reform
I'm the carriage of American mails, and
at the same time build up our ship
ping trade to its old-time pre-emi-
nence.
