The Glory of the Sea.

Deeds Of daring aud f0rtitude on the
waters arouse interest more acutely
than equally heroic acts on land. No
triumph Of armies SO klndleS enthus-
lasm as victory at sea. Though he
dwell for many generations inland
buried in the forests depths, immured
behind mountain bars, or lost in the
rrairie's eXpanse, the brine still tingles
IN the Americans blood and his soul
looks ever outward to the sea.
The instinct toward the ocean is the
Americans racial Inheritance. The
vast majority of our people descend
tlom seafarlng races. Their remoter
ancestors sailed with Genseric, the
andal, to the sack of imperial Rome;
went with Rurik the Nariag, to keep
peace and give laws Oh Russia's plains,
and followed RolIo. the Norman, and
Canute, the Dane, IT, the conquest of
mere land jewellers. In succeeding
ages their Sires voyaged with Magellan
and Drake and Cook around the world:
explored the West with Columbus,
Cabot, Cartier, Davies and Hudson:
solved the mysteries OF the East with
iaSnan, Dampler and Perry.
All the most yitai literature il Eng
laNd Is permeated with the SAVIOR of the
sea. Even books whose scenes and
characters are landl0cked abound in
tigules Of speech and illustrations
drawn from the sailors life. Only bv
painstaklng effort could their authors
avoid such phrases, for the ideas and
experiences of the Seafa1er are embed
ded IN our daily speech. Romances
and poetry of the sea are eagerly read
/ by millions who never heard and
scarcely hope to hear the Whistling of
its winds and the roar OF its waves
The popularity of the great sea-stOry is
perennial The sea tales of Cooper,
Marryat, Melville and Clark Russell
are never out of print. Thousands of
poems OF the sea are printed and read
annually. The writer who can tell a
good story of the ocean never lacks
readers.
The tall ship under full sail, the
most beautiful creation of human
hands, is vanishing from the ocean.
In time there will grow up a great
! body OF imaginative literature about
the men who go down to the sea in
steel steam-kettles. ntil it comes the
public will cling to its old favorites,
the sailors of the sail, men of the
oaken heart" who led the English
speaking peoples to the dominion of
the seas and made the speech of
Shakespeare universal. 1t is well that
! the American people cling to their
books of the ocean and admire the sea
man deeds. The sentiments which
such books engender and the spirit that
such deeds inspire are those of health
In all ages the rulers of the sea have
been the masters of the world

Early Base Ball.
When Players were Chosen for their Vocal
Powers.

Powers.
1t was on those rural fields in the hey
day of base ball that the sport if less
refined, was more picturesque. That
the game was vocal goes with the saying.
Not far away. from the truth was the
country captain who described his team
as men who can't bat much, or field
much, but first rate takers" TO dis
pute the umpire on every close decision
was orthodox duty-a fashion not yet
outIived-and it made the rural ball
game forensic as we'll as spectacular.
The country umpire, who was usually
selected by the home team, merits his
specific picture. In the earlier days of
the sport he was chosen for knowledge
of the rules simply because the oppos-
ing bucolic mines had so little knowledge
themselves. Later. technical lore be-
came somewhat secondary as a creden-
tial, and in the ideal rural umpire was
sought a kind Of Boanerges-a Son of
Thunder, believing out his decisions
until the welkin echoed, and able, on
the one hand, either to placate the
crowd by good temper or to daunt it
with strong speech. That is to say, the
umpire of the time and place had to
own no middle terms Of personal tenn
permanent, but be either extremely crisp
or superlativety good natured and tact

Good Roads
And Their Relation to the Summer Resort
Business.

Much Of the future prosperity of
coast towns in Maine will be due to the
summer resort business and no town in
this vicinity stands better chance for
development in this respect than does
Phippsburg. However, the fact that a
town borders on the coast is not the
only essential to bring large colony of
summer people. Several other things
are necessary, and none more so than
good roads. The town of Phippsburg
for years has been noted for its poor
roads and this has no doubt kept some
people from building summer homes
within its limits. This year the town
raised quite liberal appropriation for
highways and it is to be hoped that a
substantial improvement will be shown,
although if that part of the town high
way through Winnegance is a fair sam
pie of the road building the town is to
do we fear our hopes are vain ones. A
steam drill and some dynamite judi
ciously used will do more good on
country roads than all the sods and clay
that can be spread over them in whole
summer.-Bath Independent.

Building in Maine.

The Maine building edition of the
Industrial Journal, recently issued,
gives review of building operations
in Maine, with many fine illustrations.
From this review it is learned that
there have been completed in Maine
since the advent of the new year, to
date, buildings aggregating in cost APP
proximately, $1,075,00O, about 50 per
cent. OF this being residential work.
The figures further show that at the
present time there is underway in the
State of Maine, work that will approx
innate $3,919,0OO. OF this amount about
81, 10000 is for residential work, this
including also hotels, dormitories, gov
eminent barracks, etc, while about
5000, 900 is for mills and factories. The
amount of work projected is found to
be about $3,59O,OOO, of which amount
$4,000 is for residential work and
$4,000 is for mills and factories. Thus
it will be seen that the work completed
since Jan list, or now underway or pro-
jected in the State Of Maine aggregates
about IS, 100000.

A Curious irish Tradition.

Ireland is a country rich in tradi-
lions, and in places every inch of
the ground has its queer history and
some quaint story attached to it.
For instance, not for from Belfast
there is a romantic old well in
curious hollow of the hills called
Barnas gap. The well is known as
Barnas well and is filed at the bot
tom with white stones, the heather
around being covered with pieces Of
rags. Close, too, is large mound
composed Of stones, which is said to
cover the bones Of a holy friar long
since dead. Every visitor to the well
appears to make it a practice of add
ing a stone to the heap already
there, but for what reason it is i'm
possible to say.
