THE BEST DAY.
Some skies may be gloomy,
Some moments be sad,
But everywhere, always,
Some souls must be glad.
For true is the saying
Proclaimed by the seer
Each day is the best day
OF somebody's year!
Each day finds q hero,
Each day helps saint,
Each day brings to some one
A Joy without taint:
Though 1t may not be my turn
Or yours that is near
Each day is the best day
or somebody's year"
The calendar sparkles
With days that have brought
Some prize that was hoped for.
Some good that was sought;
High deeds happen daily.
Wide truths grow more clear
Each day Is the best day
OF somebody's year,?
No sun ever rises.
But brings joy behind;
No sorrow in fetters
The whole earth can bind;
How selfish our fretting.
How narrow our fear
Each day is the best day
OF somebody's Year,

IT Is AN AMERICAN LAKE.

It is argued in quarters that the commerce
of the Pacific is bound from the force of circumstan-
ces, to fall chiefly to the United States On the At
lantic we have English, Norwegian, German, French
ard italian competition. We can divide the COM
merce of the Atlantic with the countries that are abu
upon it, but tariffs and restrictions will always keep
a large part OF their trade in their own hands.
On the Pacific of our European rivals has
a home port, while we have long coast line upon
that ocean, besides Hawaii, Guam, the Philippines
and equal superior chance at the trade of the
countries West of the Pacific. We shall have there
Japan and Australia competing with us, but our
formidable European rivals will be far off and at
disadvantage
Canada, from our side, will also demand a share
of the trade of the Pacific but her part in cannot be
very considerable. Our transconnental railways are
always preparing for increased trans Pacific trade
The Northern Pacific has line of steamers in oper
alton. The Great Northern is building American
steamers for its Asatc service, and with the expan-
sion OF American commerce with the Orient now a

THE USE OF OIL AS FUEL.

The extension of the oil fields in the United
States promises to lead to more extensive expert
ments in the use of oil It is used now for fuel in
Russia to an extent unknown in the United States
and its in that country for that purpose is large
ly extended Oil is found at existing prices much
cheaper fuel in Pennsy yvania the home Of co al than
coal.
The larger vessels plying in the Southern reaches
of the Voga have discarded all other fuel for oil
ostatki, residue, it is called. These steamers
of the Eastern and other large companies on the
Caspian Sea, although constructed with ordinary
coal burning furnances, have had them adapted to
the use of oil. The London Times says that oil as
fuel has become matter of course with Caspian and
Volga ship-owners, and that exhaustive experiments
made by the Russian Steam Navigation Company
have given the most gratifying results. Cost for
cost, the experiments have conclusively demonstra-
ted the advantage of oil fuel coal, the cost of
oil per mile running at only one-third that of coal
In the matter of cleanliness which means increased
comfort there great advantage in favor Of OIL
The engineers reported that in the of oil there
was increased facility obtainabe in the regulation
of the heat the whole heating surface, compa.
rative of manipulation of the fuel itself under
steam pressure, and saving of labor and waste in
the stockhole. The Russian Government is now ex-
perimenting with oil on some of its war vessels.
The Southern Pacific Railroad Company is going
to utilize oil in its locomotives extensively perhaps
in time exclusively. Other railroads are bound to
do the same thing Experiments with oil as fuel are

THE new election law in Maryland has developed
remarkable interest in education and according to
local reports with some advantage to the Republicans
While the Democratic politicians have made slow
progress in the training of the iterate whites ow-
ing to the pride and reuctancy of the latter the Re-
publicans have apparently made remarkable head
way in instructing the colored men how to read and
to pick out only the word Republican. They have
been taught to decipher the letter R and its differ
ence from the letter "D." The voting schools will
be continued throughout the summer to prepare the
colored men for the state and legislative ticket That
ballot will be more complicated. Here is where the
Democratic politicians expect to catch them, as it
will be almost impossible for the iterates to pick
out the Legislative candidates from the others cahd
dates. Ii they mark every "R" they will hit it all
right, but experience has shown that they simply
mark the head of the ticket The results of the new
law are almost equal to those obtained by compul-
sorry educational law.
