AT TWILIGHT.


In the old hcme alone at twilight gray,
As night folds her robes DER Thanksgiving day,
/ am dreaming again BY he firelght's glow
The beautiful dreams of the long ago
Long ago, when my hayward feet
Wandered mid flowers wild and sweet,
When hearts golden and skies were blue
And life reelected each glorious hue,
When the dearest joy of the gladsome earth
Was the blush OF arbutus, the violet's birth,
And the deepest of all my childish oes
Was watching the bright petals fall from the
rose.
Pale is the blossom l blushing knew
And its leaf oyerhowing with tears OF dew.
The violet sobs as she droops her head,
''You loved nie not as you loved the dead''
Rambling DER messy ruins gray
Is the eglantine of the years, and today
Its bright thorns CLEAN in the autumn sun,
But its blossoms have fallen one by one.
All, know full WE'LL for my thoughts will stray,
As sit alone in the shadows gray,
Though the arbutus blossoms and sweetbrier
grows,
That every petal is gone from the rose.

BIessing the Danube.

From time immemorial it has been
the custom in Roumania at Christmas
to bless the Danube
Formerly a scaffolding was erected
on the frozen river, and on this was a
large cross of ice. But owing to the
extraordinary number of people who
presented themselves the ice frequent
ly gave way, and many We're drowned.
The ceremony now takes place on the
bank Of the Danube. The people, in
recognition of the occasion. wear tur-
bans of colored paper and carry long,
white wands. These people. who are
dressed to represent Pontius PLATE.
Herod and other religious characters,
go from place to place singing hymns.
which are almost similar to our own
Christmas carols.
At the appointed hour of the cere-
mony the notabilities arrive in process
sional order, accompanied by the
priests. The service lasts half an hour,
at the close of which the ice is broken
and small wooden cross is thrown
into the water Hundreds of people
rush in after it, and the person who is
successful in recovering it is considered
very lucky. London Express.

NEW YORK MERCHANTS ASSoCIA-
TlON.

Opposed to the Ship Subsidy Bill.
In the current number of The Review
OF Reviews Mr.. William f. King, pres
ident of the New York Merchants as
sociation, severely criticiscs the pend
ing ship subsidy bill. especially the
proposition to admit certain foreign
built ships to the privilege of subsidy.
He says: :.
Naturally enough, the amount Of
tonnage to be constructed in American
yards would be curtailed to the extent
to which foreign tonnage would be-
come entitled to American registry.
This, it seems to us, will not serve to
develop the American shipbuilding in
dustry in the manner in which it ought
to be developed and will not tendsto-
ward the investment of capital in the
building up of new shipyards to take
advantage of the impetus which ought
to be given toward that particular line
of industry. Therefore it is that we
say, as reason for opposing this par
ticular provision of the bill, that an I'M
duly large proportion of the subsidy
would go to few men.
'Then, again, we feel that it is dan
gerous to place in the hands of few,
no matter how well intentioned they
may be, the power which the concen-
tration of such a large tonnage would
give them, especially when that ton
mage is subsidized. 1t might enable
them to create a combination which
would serve to drive away eompeti-
ton. The natural tendency of that
would be to advance rates for the tenn
porary benefit of owners of the tom
mage. and this in turn would serve not
to expand the exporting of American
products, but rather to curtail It,
1--WE have tried frequently to obtain
an explanation of the reason for graft
ing this provision on the bill. 1t has
been said by its promoters that it was
the best bill that could he prepared un-
der the circumstances and that the for
eign tonnage section was a matter Of
expediency. What these circumstances
were has not been officially disclosed
1t would seem. however that the prin-
ciple of admitting foreign tonnage to
American registry and half subsidy
was incorporated in the bill for the
purpose of allowing those Americans
who owned that tonnage to reap some
benefit from the subsidy to be paid"

OUR MEN-oF-wAR BEST.
Those Purchased In England DO Not
Give Equal Satisfaction.

NEW YORK, Jan. ia special 10
the Herald from Washington says:
Men-of-war purchased by the United
States from English shipbuilders or
built on English designs for the Amer
lean navy do not possess the stability
OF American designed and constructed
ships.
This was the opinion expressed by
Rear Admiral George w. Mtlyille. en-
glneer in chief Of the United States
navy, who continued:
we have found that the ships from
British shlpbuilders are not as stable
as our ships are. Two ships purchased
during the war with Spain were special
objects Of concern. and, as a
result OF an lnclining test Of
one of them, Naval construc-
tor Bowles reported her unseaworthy.
This fading was based, however upon
data which was erroneous, for the rea-
son that though the weights below deck
had been, removed the guns remained
In place. Another test showed that
she was tender-that Is. approaching
instablIity-and that her stores below
acted as ballast. We make our ships
more stable than this. beiug particularly
careful to attain the proper metacen-
tric height.
There Is no reason why any Of the
British ships should be unstable. The
battleships the British build have greal
depth Of hold. breadth Of beam and con-
siderable draught and these conditions
make them very likely to be stable.
do not think it is proper to question
the ability Of the English naval con-
structors to build anything that floats
They are the best shlpbuilders in tbs
world"
