failed. As a public man he would not
 have been more of an idealist than
 Charles Sumner In fact, the senator traveled faster than the poet in the emancipation of his views, and continu-
 ally ran ahead of the popular procession
 at a time when Whittier had become content to keep pace with it, and indeed
 had come to resent any criticism of the
 regular party chiefs.

 wes not gratified. He was left with time and reflection for higher work
 FIe furtherod the purposes dearest to him by working through a more subtle and effectivemedium than politics. His
 voice was in those days the voice 1f one crying in the wilderness. There have always been at different epochs and still are indeed, such voices heard in Massachusetts, and they have general ly heralded, sometimes years in ad- vance, the ultimate specialization of purified and elevated public sentiment There may be such a failure reward for the unheeded voices of to-day, Ire prophet unrecognized by his own will doubtless be heard here in generations to. come, The once fierce, but finally gentle.

" n
 WHITTIER AS A POLITICIAN.

1 Robert $. Rantoul's paper in the fis-
 torical selections of the Essex Insti-
 ute for April presents the life and ear ly ambitions of John G. Whittier in a light with which the public is not gen. , erally familiar The Quaker poet has been generally regarded as a recluse,
 as one apart from the hustle and sell
 fishness of his time devoted to the highest ideals and absorbed in them.
 Perhaps this would be giving him less
 rather than more than his due, as MT.
 Rantoul points out the various phases
 of his career. As he is remembered
 now, he was regarded as one whom
 sordid problems and political tricks and antagonisms repelled and certainly
 none hated them more cordially than
 he; but it was not his early purpose to
 retreat from them, but, in spite of the
 non-resistance clause of his creed, to oppose in knightly spirit whatever he felt -to be low or base or cruel.
 It may surprise many to be told that
 "he was not only a politician believing in political methods for political ends, but he was that much berated, being a practical politician" The term has now come to have an uncompimentary sig nifioance. It means the peanut -politi- cian," the politician with purely person. al and selfish ends to serve. He was certainly not such one, but he regard ed politics as a practical and honorable field he could do good work in behalf of his country and his fellow men. He learned early the lesson most needful to reformers, that the reformatory atti- tude however modestly assumed, is in itself offensive to the general mind; that the average man feels that what is good enough for him is good enough for 
 hi spite of the fact that he early aroused this feeling. and that ne showed his standards with respect to questions were much higher tran those of the prominent politicians of his time in suite of the wide differ- ence of opinicn between him and most If his fellow titizens, so secure was his place in the personal affections of those who knew him best that he was elected In his youth to the legislature, where he gave promise of large usefulness In he public service. It was his ambition l to go to congress, and possibly he might | nave realized it had not his health 1

THE OCEAN SHIPPING RUSINESS

THE OCEAN SHIPPING RUSINESS
 Things are not always what they
 seem, and the Engineering News rises
 to suggest that the recent purchase of
 the Leyland fleet of steamships at a large advance on cost--"at price bas- ed upon the abnormally high earnings of the past two years'-may not prove to have been a discreet investment. There appears to be a current idea, says the News, that enormous profits are made by those who carry on the business of ocean transportation. The facts are that the ocean shipping bus mess is re-eminently one in which profits and losses fluctuate greatly from year to year. In the early nine- ties there were years when many thou sand tons of shipping were idle because of lack of business, and the vessels which ran brought little or no profit to the owners. The revival in industry from 1897 to the present time, coupled WlIH the anu DUET wars, has made the shipping industry more active than for many years. In Europe, however, the tide has now turned. Fairplay, well known organ of the English shipping trade, declares that 'the shipping industry is losing money hand over fist" Under these circumstances it is small wonder that the British owners of the Leyland line were ready to part with 1t.
 It is supposed that MT. Morgan bought the Leyland line for people who intend to furnish it with cargo from their own mills. The Steel Trust, it is said, wishes to market it's product in Europe at rates which Europeans can not meet, and to do so it must reduce the charge for transportation to cost price. If this is true perhaps the new owners of the Lsyland line can afford 1 to use it.

II have often wondered where one
could find the sharp knives Of the
world" said an observant citizen, "and
really the problem is one of some seri-
business, and one, upon reflection, is al
most driven to the conclusion that
there are no sharp knives in the world
"Have you ever noticed how hard it
is to find a really sharp knife? Stop
the first man you meet and ask him to
let you have his knife for a minute and
listen to what he says about it.. Nine
times out of ten he will say, 4 have
one, but 1t isn't very sharp You may
pick out your men indifferently, and
they will always tell you the same
thing. If a mar should ask me for my
knife to sharpen a lead pencil or to use
for some other purpose, the chances
are l would say about the same thing,
4 have one. but it isn't very sharp
"And really the answer thus made is
generally true. Men do not keep sharp
knives. 1t may be because they do not
need sharp knives or it may be a mat
ter Of l~aZiEess. but in any event they
do not carey them around with them,
or If they do they always give their

Saved by Tact.

A down town woman, who is known
among her friends as a decidedly stylish
person, but who is quite indifferent to
her toilet when at home, had an expert
ence a short time ago which gave her
quite a shock at the time. She had
given a dinner party one day at which
a very distinguished Englishman was
entertained. The foreigner was quite
c~aptivated by the charming hospitality
of his hostess. and when on his way to
the station to leave the city the next
day he stopped at the house to pay his
respects. All the servants were out,
and the mistress of the house was by
no means dressed for company. She was
expecting the arrival of a new gown at
the time, and thinking that the ring
was that of a messenger boy bringing
it she went herself, in very slipshod
attire, to the door.
To her horror, when she opened the
door, she saw the face of the distin-
guished Englishman. To her joy, how
ever, he asked if her mistress was in.
This cue was all that was needed. Quick
as a flash she replied, "No, sir; she's
out riding" Without recognition the
visitor left his card and went away
with a decided opinion of the untidy
appearance of Philadelphia servants

When they are ready to be Matched, the
mother lobster oscillates her tail so as
to assist the offspring to escape.
The young at first resemble shrimps,
being about one-third Of an inch in
length. They have bright blue eyes.
After a few days they desert the moth

where they rise to the surface and lead
a vagabond sort of existence for thirty
or forty days.
During this time the young nes
change their shells four times. On the
fourth occasion they shed their swim

where they remain for the rest Of their
lives. During their existence as SWIM

found a well known local character

Styles For the Early Winter.
Here is a brief resume of what will
be most worn in the capital of fashion

Home Journal: The winter coats will
be long and have pockets on both sides.
Rough cloths will be much worn, the
most popular color being tobacco
brown. All garments will fit more
loosely than at present, with a tend
ency to fullness. A great many fancy
buttons and little ornaments will be
used on dresses. Sleeves will be ONE
what palmer and almost all the new

Dressy waists will have bolero fronts,
and black velvet belts will be much In

All belts are to be worn low In front,
the idea being to make the waist as

gauzes and delicate laces. The new
hats are all fiat and are worn over the
forehead. Havana brown with green,
