Within the republican ~organiza-
tion and acting as a strict partisan, no
man can strike a really effective blow
at the trusts, which have the supper
of the administration, of nearly all
the recognized leaders of the party
and of perhaps rot less than 90 per
cent. of all the republicans in public
life. On the other hand. the demo-
cratic party is practically a unit in
opposition to the Observation-Disclosures
Times.
The republican leaders know
that they have good cause to fear the
resentment of organized labor. They
cannot point to one instance in which
their party has stood on the side of or.
gained labor as against the exactions
and expressions of the trusts. The
steel strike is logically injurious &c
the republican party. Y is so because
organized labor is fighting the trust.
in that conflict, and the republican
party is the creator and defender o,
the trusts.--St Louis Republic.

An English engine, built in 1870, has
run 4,OOO,0 900 miles and is still in serv-
ice. The managers of the road to
which it belongs are proud of this
record. In the United States a first-
class passenger engine makes from
100000 to 10000 miles a year, and at
the end of 20 years is supposed to be

The fact that most Of the 10000 Brit.

leads some to the conclusion that the
government scent trouble either with
the ameer OF Afghanistan or with the

South Africa does not warrant the
withdrawal of SO large a force, even
of unmounted men, unless a crisis is
threatened south of the Himalayas.

AS TO THE SHIP-SUBSIDY.
Defeat of Mark Hanna in 1904 VIII
Settle the Ubiquitous
scheme.

The shipbuilding plants have about
a wears work ahead, running at full
capacity, and yet Mark Hanna declares
that his ship subsidy steal is neededt to
build up the merchant marine. Com
menting on this, the Philadelphia Rec
ord SAYS: "If it were not for the lin
gering expectation of receiving large
steamship subsidies out of the pockets
of there would be no dis
paragement of the prosperity of Amer
lean shipbuilding interests. Although
this industry has undergone a new de-
velopment under the most favoraole
conditions without public aid, there IS
no doubt that the subsidy scheme OPP
crates as an obstruction to its march.
More yards would be opened and more
ships built for the ocean service at lar
profits but for the prospect OF the
larger gains from subsidy. Apart
from the iniquity of this subsidy
scheme, its removal from congress by
the defeat of the Hanna bill at the
next session would be promotive o tine
ocean transportation interests OF the
country"
And as further evidence of how little
a subsidy is needed, a statement IS
sued by the bureau of navigation
treasury department, shows that dur.
ing the last month 112 new ships OF
1920 gross tons, were added TO ths
| American merchant marine. OF these
65, of s,27s gross tons, were built on
the Atlantic and gulf coasts; TO- OF
1854 gross tons, on the Pacific coast
30, of 1,125 gross tons, on western
| rivers, and IA, of 1868 gross tons on
the great lakes. The largest steam
vessel built on the great lakes during
the month was theePere Marquette NO.

1here was lawyer of my acquaint-
ance," said a veteran member OF the
bar, who was eccentric in more ways
than one. He was very absentminded.
and many stories are told of this an
nOying failing. His home was at Ro-

In Detroit most Of the time. His wife
frequently visited him over Sunday.
II was In the fOurishing days OF the
old Michigan Exchange hotel. where
he had a small top floor apartment.
I well remember the occasion Of one
Of these visits. The lawyer. who was
a free hearted fellow. had arranged for
a special dinner for himself and wife.
but when the hour came he failed 10
appear, having. as II afterward trans
pired, forgotten ali about his wife and
gone to dine with a friend. Late that
night he came TO his hotel and went
TO his old top floor room, while his
wondering wife waited for him on an
other floor. he ate his breakfast ear
~ and repaired TO his office without
having seen her. when she learned
that he had been at the hotel and eat
en- breakfast as though he never had a
wife. she packed her valise I'm high

Hunting For Ostrich Eggs.

"Once. and once only" says II. r.
Tristman. an English traveller In Sa-
hara. Il had the good fortune 10 take
an ostrich's nest. although fresh eggs
were not infreQuently brought in by
the Arabs. We observed with our tele-
scopes two birds standing for some
time in the same spot and were in
duced to ride toward them. They
rapidly scudded of, but on intcrsectinC
their track we turned back and re-
traced 1t instead of continuing a vain
pursuit. An ostrich's track is by no
means easy either 10 follow or 10 re-
trace, for his stride measures. when he
is at full speed. from 80 t. - feet. and
the oblOng impression OF two toes AZ so
wide Intervals affords no very evident
track TO any eyes less expert than
those Of a BedOuin huntsman
I'VE retraced the impression to the
spot where we had seen the birds
standing together and where the sand
was we'll trodden down. Two Arabs
at once diSmOunted and began TO dig
with their hands. and presently they
brought up four fresh eggs from q
depth Of about a foot under the warm
sand.
Ostrich egg omelet we always found
a most welcome addition to our desert
bill OF fare and a convenient and
portable provision for from the thick
ness Of the shell the eggs keep o. r
fectly sweet and fresh for a fortnight
or three weeks"

why the oy.ter Crop FniIs.

II is pointed out that partial failure
OF the oyster crop in certain years. the
diminution in size of the oysters on the
market and the extinction Of many
oyster beds that formerly were famous
have been due TO want of material for
the production OF the oyster shell. The
beds throughout the oyster belt have
steadily deteriOrated in late years and
In many cases become absolutely
worthless In spite Of the fact that food
has been supplied artifciaIiy at great
expense and trouble and wire fences
have been used to protect the oysters
from the starfsh.
For this trouble the deflement Of
the water by sewage and waste Of va
riouS manufacturing establishments
have usually been blamed. sometimes
justly. sometimes without cause What
the oyster must have or II Will perish
is full supply Of carbonate Of lime
with which to build its she'll. Near the
mouths OF rivers, where carbonate OF
lime In mechanical solution. as il is ex-
pressed. comes down from the hills and
plains OF the interior in drainage. the
oyster has all the material it needs for
building its house. and at the same
time the infiowing tide brings it ample
food.-Boston Transcript.

ENCOURAGING THRIFT.
A Business Man who IA. Found That
IL Pays.


Il always have confidence in people
who save a little money out OF their
salaries" said n prominent western
merchant. and / do what I can to
encourage habits OF thrift. l employ
about 75 clerks In my establishment,
to whom pay weekly salaries ranging
from SO to $40. Naturally enough
more OF them get the former than the
latter amount. but they are none the
less worthy on that account.
I'm the beginning. when I. employed
only two people. lived pretty close to
them. and ] knew how thriftless they
could be when they were not encour-
aged to be otherwise. l have discharg-
ed more clerks for that sort OF thing
than for any other cause. They spent
their salaries, large or small as might
be, in reckless fashion and let debt
accumulate quite regardless OF the
rights OF creditors.
AS my business increased. and with
It my profits and my force Of people.
L began to give the matter more study.
and In the end, when / felt able 10 be
Of material assistance I'm encouraging

recognition 20 those who would save
something out OF their salaries. 1t was
small at hrst, but was so successful
that today ! haven't a clerk who has
not some kind OF a bank account and
not one who willfully refuses TO pay
his debts. When we get Il new one
who refuses TO take advantage of the
opportunities afforded we let him go
at the end OF the first year.
MY present plan is TO double the
savings Of all clerks who receive SO.
SD and SIS a week; to add % per cent
TO all who receive from SIS TO SD and
10 for those over So. 4 clerk on Sl5
week or under cannot save much.
but as a rule that class Of clerks have
no one 20 maintain but themselves.
and II one cannot save more than SO
out OF his years labor It is rather
pleasant for him TO get SO clear profit
Those who receive the larger amounts
usually have families and their saw
ings are not large. but whatever they
are they are comfortably increased.
