The EnK1ish Navy.

In the earliest times of the British
navy there was practically no distinc-
ton between the merchantmen and the
man-of-war. In the rare times of peace
men-of-war traded as merchantmen.
while merchantmen always went arm
ed. Thus in time of war the trader be-
came the warship and vice versa.
From the time of the conquest and
probably earlier down to- the days OF
Elizabeth this was the ordinary prac-
tice. Elizabeth hired out ships of the
navy for all sorts of purposes, from
piracy to slave trading, taking her
share of the profits when the venture
was successful and disclaiming all re-
sponsibility when it wasn't
Henry I'LL, who may be described as
the originator of the navy as special
fighting force, hired out the ships spe-
cially built for the navy in times OF
peace and even allowed them to be
taken away from their appointed sta
tions provided that the hirers deposited
due security for the return of the ships
with their tackle and all equipment In
q proper state of efficiency. The prac-
t1ce ceased after the repulse of the
Spanish armada, when the fighting
ship, as such. became distinct from the
trader.-London Globe.

PIckpockets and Pins.

young lady who had been to the thea.

knowing the possibilities opened up to
the light fingered gentry by crowd,
she kept her hand in her pocket and
grasped her purse firmly. Suddenly
she felt sharp prick as from pin on
her hand and, acting on the impulse.

snatched her hand out, almost as quick.

Me.ninx. of the Word "stove."

Meanings of the word "Stove."
The word "stove," as applied to n
heater for n room, seems to be of about
the same age as the article to which the
name is now applied, for while the
word as n name had an existence In
early English 1t was used in different
sense
Both Lord Bacon and Woodward
used it as referring to a house or room
artificially warmed and particularly n
dollhouse for plants. Bacon also used
the word as a verb In the way of keep
ing warm in n house or room, as ito
stove orange trees and myrtles," to
quote from his writings. Pepys used
the verb in nautical sense. as heating
for the purpose OF making pliable, rs
''stove bolt ropes"
But NIL these definitions are obsolete
now. such disuse dating from the timo
when DR.. Franklin made his discover
les and applications. The French word
''etuve," it may be added, describes n
hothouse or bathing room, and hence is
parallel in meaning with the early Eng
Hsh word.

this time the mileage Of the railroads in
the United States Increased IS per cent
While the tons moved shows an Increase
Of 40 per cent, the earnings show an M
crease OF less than 40 per cent. During
this time the rates have been reduced to
the extent Of that difference. During that
period or eleven years, notwithstanding
the enormous increase in traffic, four OF
the so-called trunk lines have through
destructive competition failed, and been
reorganized. and all but one OF them have
been absorbed by the stronger surviving
lines. Destructive competition has forced
the weakest lines into bankruptcy and to-
day they are owned by the lines that were
able to maintain their position and credit,
giving the ability to acquire these bank
rupt roads. The Baltimore & Ohio and
the Pennsylvania for half a century have
been rival roads Both states and cities
nave actively aided In building them up
destructive competition between them has
hnally resulted in the Pennsylvania road
owning the Baltimore & Ohio. Have tho
rates advanced? Have the people along
the line of the Baltimore a Ohio suffered?
On the contrary, the first step has been
TO furnish money to cut down the grades,
to double track the line from the Ohio
river to Chicago and to furnish cars and
terminal facilities to handle the business
to the best advantages, and at such rates
as will enable the shippers along the line
to open up their mines and increase their
business in every branch of trade, and ia

When many of the roads were built
capital was scarce and high. A very
large proportion OF the original railway
enterprises failed. losing IA large part OF
the investment-they had no idea OF the
future growth, and from want of money
and want OF forethought the terminal IA
cilities are to-day totally inadequate II
the cars could be moved at the principal
terminals the main lines would he able
to do better than at present. However.
with u continuance FOR three or five
years OF. the present volume of ira lllc be-
tween tho East and West added to in
dustral traffic in the great manufactu
ing districts. this country will find itself
confronted with the most serious com
mercial question it has yet been called
upon to solve. Terminals in the larger
Eastern. cities are both difficult and eX-
pensive to acquire. The Pennsylvania
railway..in order to get into New York,
onto Manhattan island, is building II tun-
mel from Jersey City to Brooklyn at a
cost Of forty or fifty million dollars. WIN
1t bring new business or must the ex-
pense of operation and interest on cost
be levied on present traffic?
r. careful examination of the railway
problem from a national standpoint will,
| believe, show beyond question that the
business of the country has outgrown
the facilities ON most of the trunk lines
and that new facilities not now apparent
will be necessary to relieve the situation.
Rates In the United States are much
lower than in any other country. Wages
are hiEhcr-thc cost of most OF the mate
rial is higher than in Europe, stil the
average rate charged in Europe Is fully
twice as. high In America. The con
dtions in this country change very rap
idly--whilc rates have been cut in two In
twenty years all kinds OF labor and ma
terial used by railways have advanced
from 30 to 30 per cent. Nothing but the
increased volume of traffic has made 1t
possible to reduce rates as they have
been reduced. To-day we find the volume
of traffic so great east OF Chicago that
the railways are not able to move II I'M
der the present conditions. How will these
conditions be changed and at whose cost?
Who will build new lines or increase old
ones? These are the questions which |
viii not undertake to answer farther
than to say that the West must have the
facilities or suffer for the want of them.

The effect of this has been to bring
thousands OF farmers from the Middle
Western states, including Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Indiana and Illinois to find homes in Min
nesota and North Dakota. This, more
than anything else, has doubled the price
of your lands in comparatively few
years. We have about twelve hundred
miles of railway in North Dakota The
average cost of our railway, including
terminals. equipment. shops, elevators,
etc, is about thirty-five thousand dollars
per mile. as shown by it's capitalization.
In the fifteen counties depending almost
entirely for their transportation upon the
Great Northern railway, there are, in
round numbers, sixteen million acres of
land. If the building of the railway and
what has followed it has added $40 per
acre to the value Of. this land 1t is
worth $16O 100000 more than it would
have been without the railway, and you
have the benefit Of this advance. 7 am
