The "Hegira" Of 1887.

It is almost certain that record

Atlantic for the coronation, and it Is
very probable that record time may
be accomplished. But such events will
not attract so much public attention

preceding the coronation of Queen Vic

caused immense astonishment by max
ing maiden trip from Bristol to New
York in fifteen days On May Z, 1888.
she started from New York on her
return voyage with passengers desir-
Gus of being present in London for the
coronation. Quite 100000 persons as
to witness her departure, with
bands of music. and variety of steam
boats attended her to Sandy Hook.
She carried siXty-eight cabin passen-
gers, the greatest number that had
ever crossed in one ship, at thirty-five
euineas each. Her arrival at Bristol
on May % settled the doubt warmly
discussed by the British Association,
two years previously, as to the possi-
bility of steamship communication be-
tween England and America.-New

Bob Watson stuck his head far out

cause of the trouble. Conductor
Thompson went leaping up the hill

back faster than he had gone up, and
sat down on a tie. No color was in
his face, and his hands trembled
Surrounding him crowded the Irish
men, who made so much noise no one
heard the lightning express as it went

the situation.

Germany is Up-to-Date in Machinery.

One is at once impressed with the
fact that the Germans have been quick
er than other nations to take advan-
tage of improved machinery and meth
DDS. An inspection of our exports to
Germany in the last half-doZen years
shows an extremely satisfactory in
crease in OUr sales of manufactured
goods. but an analysis Of the chara cter
Of those manufactures brings out the
fact that large part has been in labor
saving machines, whose economics
have at once been turned against US.
There are some shops in Germany that
are quite as admirably fitted with mod

ing shops with Us. and with such SUI
perior equipment. and with labor cost

The reformers who hold up the Ger
