THE AMERICAN NAVY.

When we contrast the tedious, va
cillating and uncertain action Of the
English army in the Boer war, it's
manifest blunders, it's failures on many
occasions, not from lack of bravery,
but from lack of brains, what Ameri-
can can fail to have a feeling of pride
in the celebrity and completeness with
which the Spanish American war was
brought to close? England is weeping
and wailing yet, not only over it's dead
and wounded which number up into
the thousands, but in the fact that
with all their blood and training, the
war is still going on, and the English
man is constantly touched in his most
vital spot his pocket. We are not
decrying the Englishman's love Of
his country. He will "pay, pay,
pay" and he will stand up and be
shot with an obstinacy and a determi-
nation that in ninety-nine cases in a
hundred will "win out. -

CHRISTMAS TREE TRADE.

A writer in Country Life in Ameri-
ca retells the story Of one Mark Carr,
jolly, sturdy woodman living among
the foothills of the Catskills, who,
about fifty years ago originally con-
ceived the idea Of sending Christmas
trees to the New York market. Then
the Christmas tree was custom most
ly celebrated by foreigners. He had
heard or read Of celebrations in the
metropolis, when churches and houses
were adorned with pine, hemlock and
holly. 1t occurred to him that the
stately young fir trees, covering the
mountain side about his modest home,
might be made profitable. The chop
ping and transportation would COM
prise the whole cost Of the enterprise
and it could be done at season when
he had little else to do So, early in
December, 1851, Mark and his SONS
drove two OK sleds loaded with young
trees, through the deep snow to the
river at Catskill, whence the father
started with them for the CITY,
One old-fashioned silver dollar Sc
cured strip of sidewalk on the cor
ner Of Greenwich and Vesey streets,
and there the long-sighted mountain
eer set forth his forest novelties.
Customers speedily appeared, soon
buying all his wares at prices that
seemed to him positively exorbitant.
Highly elated, Mark enjoyed few
days Of town life and returned home,
but the next year he came again with
much larger stock, and from that
time to this the business has continued
to increase until now hundreds of
thousands of trees are yearly sold from
Mark Carr's old corner.

conclusion, was our glorious Ameri-
can navy. The thorough annihilation
Of the Spanish vessels and gunboats at
Manila by Dewey, was an act which
was greater from it's effect than in the
act itself ; because as a matter of fact
the vessels that were conquered were
"small fry" affairs. But no one can
question but that the Santiago action
was we'll done, which stands promin-
emily in the minds of the American
people as the most brilliant act of the
Spanish war, and one which brought
it to so successful a conclusion.
1t is little unfortunate that a con-
troversy should have arisen, which re-
fleets seriously upon the Navy De-
partment, as to who is entitled to the
most credit for the glorious results
obtained by our "water dogs'' on that
occasion. But take the whole history
of the action of that fleet. The tre-
mendous passage of the noble "Ore-
gon' under the gallant and fearless
Clark. all around Cape Horn, ready
at all times, as he says, to tackle the
whole Spanish fleet single -handed-a
trip of $4,000 miles, with not break
in the machinery, not faltering on
the part of her commander who was
responsible for everything THE get
ting into the Santiago fight, (the
Oregon being with the Brooklyn the
two swiftest ships) and heading off
the escaping Spanish fleet 1T is a
noble record and one we can all feel
proud Of.
1t is mystery to us, however, how
Captain Clark who seems to be max
ing no complaints, has apparently re-
ceived no reward whatever for his
gallant services. We have informa-
tion from one of his intimate friends,
that the strain on his nerves, of bring
ing the vessel on that enormous jour
ney, successfully to Santiago, was
such that for nearly year after
Santiago he was disabled from ner-
vous prostration but he did not stop
to think of this, nor did he lose days S
time until the enemy avere safely ont of

Capt. Clark for four years was
stationed at Chicago as Light House
Inspector on the Lakes (some ten or
twelve years ago. and while there
made many friends among the western
people. Some action should certainly
be taken by the Navy Department or

three) to give him at least a vote of
thanks. He should certainly be pro-

FROM THE GUESTS AT THE INN.

FROM THE GUESTS AT THE INN.
The Princess came to Bethlehem's Inn;
The Keeper he bowed low;
He sent his servants here and yon,
His maids ran to and fro.
They spread soft carpets for her feet,
Her bed with linen fine;
They heaped her board with savory meats,
They brought rich fruits and wine.
The Merchant came to Bethlehem's Inn,
Across the desert far,
From Ispahan and Samarcand,
And hoary Kandahar.
Rich orient freight his camels bore;
The gates flew open wide,
As in he swept with stately mien,
His long, slow train beside.
The Pilgrim came to Bethlehems Inn:
Wayworn and old was he,
With beard unshorn and garments torn,
A piteous sight to seel
He found corner dim and lone
He ate his scanty fare
Then laid his scrip and sandals by,
And said his evening prayer.
The Beggar came to Bethlehem's Inn
They turned him not away;
Though men and maidens scoffed at him,
They bade the varlet stay.

Dark was the night and cold,
And eerily the icy blast

"For am sore bestead!''
Maid Mary came to Bethlehem's Inn:
There was no room for her;
They brought her neither meat nor wine,
Nor fragrant oil, nor myrrh.
But where the horned oxen fed
Amid the sheaves Of corn
One splendid star famed out afar

FABLE OF THE BABBLING BROOK.

Once upon time fish, in search of
adventure, came to the broad mouth of
brook which emptied itself into
great river. He turned into the smaller
stream, ,ascended it's current and listened
to it's constant babbling as he went
leisurely along.
AS he proceeded he noticed that the
brook became very much narrower and
shallower Yet it kept up it's babbling
just the same. Finally he reached its
head and found it to be very insignifi-
cant.
Brook" said the fish, "never in my
life before have l seen such large
mouth and heard so much babbling
with so little head behind it,"
Moral-The head cannot be judged by
the mouth.
Conundrum-What peerless publicist
reminds you of the babbling brook with
an inferior head and superior mouth?

astic for tree planting, is just now urg-
ing that the custom be established
