In repiy to Mn. Charles II. Cramr's
newspaper argument in favor of the
Ship Subsidy bill, representative of
Glasgow shipbuilding firm is thus
quoted "One of his main arguments
seems to be that England has secured
the carrying trade of the world by
means of government subsidies to shin.
builders. Cramp further declares that
during the past go years government
aiu to tho extent OF s24O, 600, 900 or
si,00O,Oo0 annually has bsen thus be.
slowed. 1t seems Unnecessary for me
to point out how ridiculously far from
the truth this statement is. The re-.
mainder of MIR. Cramps argument
seems to be devoted to proving that
America has such advantages as to
command raw material and can under-
bid English shipbuilders in their own
market, but he apparently loses sight
OF the obvious reJcInder. If this is SO.

The sarqasso Sea.

The SaRgasso sea is a region in
the Atlantic about midway between
southern Europe and America, ex
tending from 81 to % degrees north
latitude and between 20 and 45 de
grees west longitude. It derived its
name from Portuguese word sig
nifying a grape, and was SO called
because the seaWeeds characteristic
Of the region bearson their branches
small air, cells, which in shape are
not. unlike the grape clusters. The
weeds themselves are among the
most peculiar of vegetable produc-
tons, since they have no roots nor
any signs Of qualification and are
propagated by division. They float
in the water, sometimes in dense
masses extending for miles.
This portion Of the Atlantic is a
great eddy, little affected by the
currents which surround it on every.
side, and the stiffness of the water,
it Is supposed, has contributed to
the development Of the weeds in the
vast quantities in which they are
found. The floating masses were
noticed by Columbus and his men,
to whom they we're a source of un+
easiness, as the sailors supposed
they indicated shallow water. De-.
tached masses Of the weed are often
seen in the gulf stream, and the.
long, yellow lines of floating weed
are a sure indication Of its close
proximity.

Tie so-called strenuous life" Of vigor,
energy. dominion, power, and the more
satisfying spiritual life are, according to
the author of this volume, arrayed
against each other The former aims at
national prosperity and the latter ut in
ner spiritual development. With the be-
levers in spiritual welfare, arguments
are based on the spiritual and not the
material universe, that "a thought world
is the only knowledge world; thought
world is the only real world" The pur-
pose of the author Of this volume is to
apply the law of spiritual knowing to
the varied experiences of life, and to the
Interpretation Of tho Sacred Scriptures.
The presentation of the subject is bright
and attractive. Mr. Seward is wei per-
forming what seems to be his mission
to scatter sunshine of Gospel truth

Successors of Queen Mary"
''The Successors of Mary the First" by
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward. Hough-

Here is something to appeal to every
worried housekeeper for it expresses
wonderfully well her own experiences
with the servant girl problem. A family
of three in a New England suburb has
experiences the like of which are to be
found in every day life, and the telling
of it all is the best of the story The
supreme indifference of incompetent lacy
help, and the way the various nation
alities come and go is but the experience
of all in similar circumstances. While
offering no panacea for the problem or
i'll, the story is a strongly amusing Sa-
tire and in this case finds a solution In
self-sacrlficing woman of education,
who prefers housewOrk to clerking or
typewriting or other means Of self-sup
port. Mrs. Hollis is we'll drawn chaT
acter, an average woman and her home
is an average home. In fact the whole
story is wonderfully true to life and
one almost doubts the authors assur-
ance that she has not written of her
own experience, but has drawn on the
stories told her by her friends Mary
the first, after faithful service for thir-
teen years, marries a plumber and leaves
the family to the mercies of all sorts of
! successors. The experiences with intelli-
gence offices and incompetent help seem
about to break UP the permanent peace
Of the family, as it had already broken
the health of the mistress, when the
solution is reached in the person of a
! housemaid, who cared not what she was
| called, and only wanted to find a home
where she could be Of help. This mil
lennium restored peace and happiness to
the disturbed household and all ends well.
