LONDON, Dec. 1O-Germany's
industrial distress is reactine
disastrously on the iron and steel
trade of Great Britain. Several
big Scotch steel mills, under
stress of German competition
which they cannot combat. will
close Jan. / for one month, thus
throwing thousands of workmen
out of employment. During its
years of prosperity the metal
works of Germany doubled their
capacity and began production
on a scale 100 per cent greater
than previously. Now that an
industrial crisis has overtaken
the fatherland its steel mills find
their output immensely in excess
of the demand. They are max
ing extraordinary efforts to seize
foreign markets in order to get
rid of their products. Their
wares are flowing into Great
Britain in unprecedented quanti-
ties, completely sweeping aside
local competition and filling Brit
ish manufacturers with dismay

COLDS

The quickest relief, for a
cold, is by SCOTS emulsion Of
cod-liver oil.
We all have colds, you can
try it and see. You will find
the edge taken off in a night
and, in three or four days,
you'll be wondering whether
that cold amounted to any
thing anyhow.
That's relief. If you tackle
it quick, the relief is quick and
complete, if you wait till the
cold is in full possession of
head and lung, why, of course,
the relief is quick if it comes in
a week.
A little emulsion won't clear
and restore your whole breath
ing-machine in a minute; don
be looking for miracles.
Well send you little to try if you like.

Exhibition Of Splendid Heroism.

We do not need to turn always to
battlefields for deeds of heroism. No
more splendid exhibition of self sacri-
fcing courage and endurance has late
~ been witnessed than that of humble
fisher folk of the little village of Caro-
in rescuing the passengers and crew
of the French steamer Russie, stranded
off the coast of Bouches-du-Rhone on
the Mediterranean sea.
The Russie went on the rocks in a
violent storm, and all on board were in
imminent peril The storm continued
for four days and to the danger of be-
ing engulfed in the angry sea was
added that of starvation, as the ships
food supply had become about exhaust
ed. When the stranded ship was sight
ed, the fishermen of CAIRO began their
work of rescue, but it was a task that
might have appalled, the stoutest
hearts. A line was extended from the
shore to the ship, but this was time and
again severed. At the risk of their
lives and at the cost Of great physical
hardship the brave fishermen pushed
| their dOrries into the seething surf in
an effort to reach the stranded vessel.
Repeatedly were the small boats over
turned and hurled back against the
| shore by the tremendous force Of the
waves. Still the fishermen heroically
fought the elements and finally after
four days Of perilous endeavor succeed
ed in rescuing all on board the Russie,
| numbering 125 passengers and crew.
The fsherwomen brought succor for
those exhausted from fright, exposure
and hunger, and al the hospitality
which the little village afforded was
extended.
1t is gratifying to learn that the
steamship company has distributed 90
600 francs among the rescuing fisher
men. The reward, though prompt, is
none too great. Many Frenchmen have
worn the cross of the Legion of Honor
for less conpicuous acts of heroism
| than We're exhibited by these humble
| fishermen.
There is a striking contrast between
the noble conduct of the simple fisher
folk of Caro- and the exhibition of bru-
tally and cowardice on the part of the
officers and crew of the French steamer
La Bourgogne, when she was wrecked
and her passengers lost off the coast of
Halifax a year or so ago.

DISCUSSING THE NEGRO.

The extreme demands of the literary
minded woman of New York, compos-
ing the League for Political Educa-
ton, has found time to take up the
colored man for review.
Strangely enough, there was an in
clination to dwarf the importance of
the ward of the nation" Putting the
question, Resolved, That the problem
of the future of the negro race in Amer
leo can be solved best by their sepa-
ration from the white people in educa-
ton, labor and place of residence" it
was unanimously decided in the affirm
atlve The negro should have no place,
no work, no chance for life among
those who have heretofore caressed him
so fondly. One of the speakers said
the only true education for the negro
is manual training intellectual train

savage ancestry" Another speaker
found the difficult question to be, not
what harm do the colored people do
the whites, but how do the whites
harm the negro? The negroes, she
said, are descended from degenerate
tribes of the interior of Africa, who
were sold into slavery by the harder
tribes Ct the coast. They have an evil
heritage of thousands of years. Toe

tented. They had better be able to tin

SAVE WHILE YOU CAN

The Chattanooga News gives the fol-
loving timely advice to those who find
themselves enjoying a season of pros
perity: Tt is amazing how rapidly a
small sum placed in savings bank
every week or every month, accumu-
lates. There are banks IN every COM
munity in the South, soliciting such de-
posts and offering fair rate of inter
est, to be compounded annually. The
day laborer can, by placing dollar a
week in such an institution become the
possessor in half dozen years of a
sufficient sum to purchase a comfortable
home The material part of the prob
lem of life is half solved when man
ceases to pay rent. Times are good
now, but they will not always be so.
Financial depressions will come again,
and in the natural order of things we
may expect one in the next few years.
When it does come, the man who will
practice little prudence and self
denial now, will feel much like the
duck with pail of water thrown on its
back.

The little Wildhowers to sleep have gone,
Way down in their coy beds;
A thick brown blanket OF leaves they've drawn
Right over their little heads
For well they know cold weather's about,
The time when Jack Frost appears,
And that some night II they don't watch out,
He'll come and bite off their ears
They know that his partner, Mr. Snow,
Will also in time be due,
For old Mother Nature told them so,
And they know that it must be true So
So, tightly tucked in their beds, they lie ssa
And laugh in their dreams SO fair
To think that neither, in passing ", ~
Will be able to find them therel
The little Wildfowers are tired OF play
And weary Of field and sun;
The birds and the bees have gone awayt Ks
The song OF the rain is done.

While winter winds Ger them sing,
And sleep 30 deep knowing well that God
Win awaken them in the spring
