Saints Powder Recipe,

In Germany and Italy great honor is
paid to st. Barbara, but until now no
one has been able to discover the exact
reason.
A German officer says that she is
honored because the invention of pow.
der Is In a large measure due to her.
Berthold Schwarz. n monk, he ex-
plains, opened the Lives ofzzthe Saints
on st. Barbara s day and read the
story Of her martyrdom, after which
he reasoned as follows:
"The heart Of the Virgin was white
as salt, the soul Of her tormentor was
black as coal. and it was sulphur from
heaven which punished him for his
cruelty. / will mix these three things,
and it will be a wonder if l do not dis
cover the philosophers stone"
He did mix them, and as soon as he
put the mixture in a fire a tremendous
explosion followed. Such, according. to
German soldiers, was the origin Of
gunpowder.

PROTECTION TO SHIPPING.
"A Few Nuts For the Pro-subsidy Adj
ocate to Crack.

A Few Nuts For the Pro-subsidy Id
to Crack.
The advocates Of shipping subsidies
refer proudly to the coasting trade
feet belonging to the United States as
an example Of what subsidies will do
for our merchant marine engaged in
foreign trade. For more than a hum
dred years our coasting trade has been
closed to foreign vessels. The perfect
freedom Of trade between the differ
ent sections Of our country has foster
ed an enormous domestic carrying
trade, which has until recently absorb
ed Our activities in commercial lines.
The fact that foreign ships are not
permitted to participate in Jul coast
wise commerce compelled us to furnish
sufficient shipping for that trade.
Our domestic shipping has thus been
fostered at the expense of our foreign
shipping. AS we had not sufficient cap
ital to take over both kinds of COM
merce and as we we're compelled to
take over our coasting trade, our for
eign trade had to be given up to for
eign ships. Once this condition was
established it became permanent be-
Of our barbarous navigation
laws, which make it a crime for an
American citizen to buy ships in for
eign countries and which subject him
to irksome and s~enseless governmental
restrictions and exactions. All the pro-
lection to u coasting trade would
have been utterly %unavailing had not
free trade between the several states
built up our enormous internal COM
merce, creating a demand for ships.
When we reflect that the tonnage en-
gagged in our coastwise commerce ex-
ceeds that Of the whole combined Ger
man and French merchant marine, it
Is easy to understand why we have not
been able to hold a larger share of the
foreign trade.
The statement that foreigners carry
90 per cent of our foreign commerce is
misleading. In recent years American

ping as an example Of what protec.
ton will DE-. In the first place, as has
been shown, u coastwise commerce
has grown up under freedom of trade;
in the second place, the protection Civ
en- our coasting vessels has resulted in
a twofold injury instead OF benefit.
Freed from competition with foreign
ships, our shipowners have not pro,
crossed as they would otherwise. They
have depended upon protection instead
of efficiency, and consequently freights
are higher and service poorer in our
coastwise trade than In u foreign
trade. In addition, the protected coast
trade has caused our ocean commerce
to decline in the manner above indi.
