THE SAILING SHIP.

The sailing ship does not only die hard, but it doesn't die at all. It seems to be immortal. For the car rying trade there is nothing to exceed it. It goes slow. but it gets there and at q much lesser expense than a vessel propelled by steam. The Standard Oil company has had a great deal of experience in the carry ing trade and that company has re- gently abandoned it's steam tank ves- sells and substituted sailing vessels in it Chinese and Asiatic service For where time is not an import ant factor there is nothing af1oat that can compete with the many-masted sailing vessel. These are carrying trade days and it would seem that a long life and great activity is ahead of the ship that is propelled by sails and the wind that costs nothing ex- cept to catch it. In all of which there is no bad news for our New Eng land shipbuilders. Marine Journal.

People talk of being all run down, overworked, out of sorts generally.
 Nine times out of ten it is the blood that is out oforder. The blood is the life of the system, you know. lift becomes thin or lacking in strength the sys- tern naturally sufers-and with a weakened system disease finds an easy mark.
 Burdock Blood Bitters is one ofnature's remedies. A purely vegetable compound. It is a blood maker; it strengthens and builds upthe system; drives out the disease by removing g the cause.

Mrs. Chas. Freitoy, Moosup, Conn, says: II have taken two bot ties of Burdock Blood Bitters and am feeling better than ever did in my life. For many years suffered with severe sick headaches and general debility. Lost all ambition and went about my duties in an ainless manner. Had a tired, worn out feeling all the time, but before I had taken half bottle of E. B. B., felt relieved and am now feeling like new woman"
 Mrs. A. ". Ham, Cambridge, Me, says: 1T was in poor health tor long time. l was unable to be around or attend to my work, was troubled with constipation, neural gia and poor appetite, in fact, every trouble that attends rundown condition of the system, and have taken two bottles of Burdock Blood Bitters and the Pills.

sNUFF-TAKING.
Tt Was a General Custom in the
Eighteenth Century.

From the Chicago journal.
The eighteenth century was the age
OF snuff taking par excellence. The GUS
tom was general and among all classes
of people. 1t was an act of politeness
for well-bred men to offer their snuff
boxes to well-bred women. Women
themselves carried their own boxes and
interchanged pinches with the gentle-
men. At fashionable dinner parties after
the cloth was removed snuff boxes We're
passed around. Pope and Bolingbroke,
Swift and congreve, Addison and Steele
all INDUCED i'm the pleasures of snuff.
DR.. Johnson carried his snuff i'm the
capacious pockets of his waistcoat and
would convey Il 10 his nose without
stint. He could moi abide the narrow
confines of Il box. Frederick the Great
resembled him in this respect Both
Napoleon and Wellington We're prodigi-
Gus snuff-takers, but Washington in
dulged only moderately. Jefferson was
fond of snuff, as his wuistcoat and shirt
bosom often showed. Hamilton ana
Burr both "snuffed" and We're extreme
ly graceful in giving and taking q
pinch. Henry Clay was another of our
famous snuff -takers. and often needed
the stimulus of pinch when making
n speech. Senator Thurman was per-
haps one of the last of the senatorial
users of what was one called the grand
cordial of nature"

OIL IN NEW MEXICO.
Surface Indications Compare Favor
ably with Those of Any Other
Field

From the Gas and Water Review
The National Oil Reporter notes there
IS what promises to make an oil field of
great extent near Gallup, in Western
New Mexico. At Gallup are located the
most extensive coal mines of the South
west, having for years supplied much of
the coal used in Southern California.
Arizona, and New Mexico. The oil field
is situated from eighteen to fifty miles
easterly from Gallup.
About ten miles north from the Santa
Fe Pacific Railroad an oil bearing STRAIT
UNI of sandstone crops out on the brow
of mesa in an almost unbroken line
for distance of eighteen to twenty
miles. This old stratum was first dis
covered by geologist for the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad, about eighteen
years ago, who. for himself and others,
then ran tunnel about eighteen feet
long into the sand rock, when they had
to abandon the enterprise on account
of hostile demonstrations by Navajo In
dians. Oil has been oozing out of the
rock into this tunnel since, and about
twenty barrels had accumulated when.

citement. this field again received at
tention.
Later another and higher oil stratum
has been discovered cropping out. The
springs in the district bring up from
below bubbles of oil with the water.
Some of the springs are covered with a
black. tarry substance. At one place
there are fissures in the earth from
which issue gas and hot air. At anoth-

THE GOSPEL OF POVERTY.


From Andrew Carncge's "Thc Empire OF Bust.
ness"
1t is the fashion nowadays to bewail
poverty as an evil, to pity the young
man who is not born with Il silver
spoon in his mouth; but l heartily sub
scribe to President Garfield's doctrine,
that "The richest heritage Il young
man can be born to is poverty" L make
no idle prediction when / say that it is
from that class from whom the good
and the great will spring. 1t is not
from the sons of the millionaire or the
noble that the world receives it's teach
ers it's martyrs, it's inventors, it's
statesmen, it's poets, or even it's men of
affairs. 1t is from the cottage of the
poor that all these spring. We can
scarcely read one among the few "im-
mortal names that were not born to
die" or who has rendered exceptional
service to our race, who had not the
advantage of being crddled, nursed, and
reared in the stimulating school Of
poverty. There is nothing so enervat-
ing, nothing so deadly in its effects
upon the qualities which lead to the
highest achievement, moral or intellec-
tuul, as hereditary wealth. And If there
be among you "a young man who feels
that he is not compelled to exert him
self in order to earn and life from his
own efforts, I tender him my profound
sympathy. Should such an one prove
an exception to his fellows, and be-
come citizen living II life creditable
to himself and useful to the state, in
stead of my profound sympathy l bow
before him with profound reverence:
for one who overcomes the seductive
temptations which surround hereditary
wealth is of the salt of the earth" and
entitled to double honor.

er place the oil oozes out OF the rock,
along the surface, for distance OF n
quarter Of mile. Prof. Herrick, geo.
loglst and president OF the New Mexico
University, has made an estimate that
there are In sight on one location T.50O,-
600 tons of saturated oil rock which Will
yield 100000 to 100000 tons of asphalt
worth $40 ton. The oil has been an
alyzed, and Is said to be of Il good
quality, valuable as fuel oil. also as n
lubricant and as most of the volatile
parts had evaporated while slowly ozz-
ing out. 1t will probably contain large
percentage of illuminants also. The
analysis showed 2S 1-5 per cent. illum-
mating oil.
The field has been examined for the
local companies by. several eminent geo.
loglsts. oil experts, and practical oil
men, all of whom report that the geo.
logical formation. consisting of coal,
sandstone. and immense beds of bitum-
nous shales. ETC., is all that could be
desired for the expectation of finding
large bodies Of oil underneath.
Many companies have been formed
which have taken up land. but so far
very little has been done to explore the
field. Only one company has COM
menced to drill. and 1t has attained u
depth of 1000 feet. passing through two
oil strata. Before starting, the expert
for this company estimated that 1t
would have to drill to depth of 1.3O0
to 1,4OO feet before getting an oil we'll

they are men with but limited means.
and so far have been unable to do any

and developing of the field. The history
of other oil fields will probably repeat
itself in this field, and lands that go
