Ballast For ships.

To solve the question of ballast many
expedients are resorted to. and the re-
suits obtained often are singular. The
most popular ballast is stone or rock.
and every sbipmaster who halls from
the port of New York knows. or Is sup
posed to know at least, the relative
value of certain grades of rocks at
various ports besides the metropolis.
He can dispose of a cargo of stone to
contractors here which will more than
reimburse him for the expense of load
ing and unloading. and II the shipmas-
ter Is alert he will arrange for such
disposal many months before his re-
turn from some out of the way corner
of the world.

st. Anthony's are the largest on the

The pioneers following close on the

the water were not to the liking of old
Mississippi, however, and many of the
first dams were carried away down the

sotherp,s Recitation.

Sir Edward Russell knew e. A. Soth-
ern, the actor, intimately and in his
book, THAT Reminds Me-" tells many
stories of HIM
He was dining at Portsmouth or
somewhere at u reglmental mess to
which the officers had asked him with
every show of the highest admiration
and with no appearance of social SUI
periority. After dinner, as the party
sat at wine, one of the officers asked
Sothern to give them recitation. Now,
lie wouldn't tolerate being treated
as an entertainer when he was by way
of being treated as n gentleman. He
coldly declined. They pressed him.
He holly declined. Still they pressed
him. He expressed his feelings. Per-
haps the officers were little affected
by wine. At all events they persist
ed. They would take no denial.
At last he said in a manner which
showed that he was nettled, but yet
yielding: swell, II you won't let me
off l must. I'll give you the dinner
scene from David Garrick'"
He did. He had never acted 1t bet
ter. They were delighted until, spring
ing to his feet. he made his wild. tipsy
exit. Just as he did on the stage. and
dragged the cloth Off the table and
with it all the regiments priced des-
sert china and decanters and glasses,
etc. Great was the smash. The actor
did not wait TO be applauded or to i'm
prove the occasion. The lesson was, in
deed. a rough one, and probably only
man with some roughness In his dar-
ing humor would have given it, but 1t
was quite deserved.

.Ioknnine had occasion TO execute one

been crowned with success, one must
not think there were no failures. Many,
attempts to turn the great Mississippi
into channels of usefulness have been
marked by great disaster The work of
years might be swept away In a single
night. But the hardy settlers did not
despair, nor did those who came after
them. and to-day the falls of the majes-
tic Mississippi are among the greatest
sources of motive power in the world.
The Mississippi in years gone by was
the great highway between North and
South. Great steamboats, piled their
busy trade up and down the stream;
logs by the million were, and still are,
fioated ON its current, as well as on its
tributaries. The constantly changing
course Of this peculiar river has long
been source of wonderment to the
world, and 1t is principally for this rea-
son that the railroads have usurped sol
much Of the traffic that formerly went
down the river A station might be on,
the river one week and isolated from 1T
the next, In spite of the efforts OF man
to keep 1t within bounds. Therefore It
is eminently proper that the unruly
river I'm its old age should be put to-
turning the wheels of industry now
that the glory Of its shipping days are
over.
