RECORD STAMPYEAR.

The year 1902 will ben memorable
 one to philatelists, ano will beat all
 previous records. They have already
 started with the new Edward VII.
 stamps. A few months will see the
 new Spanish postal issle, which will be printed after the colonation of AL fonso XIII, in May. America is
 printing fresh stamps il honor of MT.
 Roosevelt, and Germany announces an important new stamp for the coming spring. Switzerland is planning a stamp. Russia will celebrate the sec ,ond centenary of the building of St! Petersburg by fresh issue. Finally it is hoped by all ardent philatelists that q limited number of new stamps will be printed this year in honor of the coronation, says the London News. A collector protests against the state ment that the philatelists "hope for'' a limited number of stamps printed in honor of the coronation. Special and unnecessary issues are, he says, de- tested by the serious collector, fact which raises our opinion of the fra ternity considerably. He says: ..It IS one of the charms of specializing in the stamps of Great Britain that this country has been kept singularly free from limited issues, which are sup posed to possess q fictitious value''

THE BRITISH BARGEMAN.

The bargeman has leisure enough to be always interesting. To begin with his tongue is as loose hung as that of the omnibus driver and the cabby. and his wit. like theirs, is the result of many collisions with his fel- low creatures. Off Greenwich the tide sweeps him against a lubber who is rowing his lady for q fish dinner at the ship. "Tyke care of Ter, Chaw- ley" the bargee shouts. ''If you droWnd 'er' (with a leer at the fair one), you'll never git another 'arf as 'andsome. Tyke my word." But his wit is the smallest part of him. His very life is parable of the spiritual 'blessedneSs of living at one with the slow forces of nature. After all. what has philosophy ever taught us, except that the wise man is he who moves fast enough for steerage way and Keeps his bows we'll in the mighty tides of progress?
 You had better not commiserate with the lot of the bargeman-the roughness of his fare, the smallness of his craft, and the fact that he sleeps on her every night. winter and sum- mer, without I fire to keep off the damp and the cold. Of a Saturday night he will tell you. he sees a bit of pleasure. Perhaps there is a gleam ill his eye as he says this that suggests the pubs and the dives of Whitechanle Let us not be intolerant in this mafter of cakes and ale. Your lumnish cock hey can lind reason enough for ohiact. ing, if he wishes, to a cold bottle ana a hot bird. And then there are baroa. men and bargemen. To many q steer. ing philosopher Saturday night means home. and you had better believe thai he brings to it warm heart and . fund of observation from his workadav V world
 Here is an elder who has the shrewd. homely visage of the traditional New England farmer. His lean flesh lies in folds upon the bones of his face. His very lips are tanned with exposure and scored with sharp lines; but his eyes twinkle with kindness A bit of to- bacco, word, and. above everything sympathetic silence. are all that ara needed to start the flow of his obserya. tions.-John Corbin in Scribner's Mag aZinee

4 STRIKE AT THE HUB.
Boston Breweries Crippled by Dis
 satisfied Employees.

BOSTON, April 1.-Nearly. 1,50O men employed ill Boston breweries left work this morning, having been un- able to reach an agreement with the master brewers on three disputed propositions-hours of labor. free beer and in the matter of discharges.
 The strike is the outcome of nearly two months of fruitless controversy over the revision of schedule made in 1896.
 Every brewery in the city is more or less affected, and it is expected that q large number will have to shut down. The men openly declare that the brew CTS, by refusing to comply with the de- mands, seek to break up the union while the brewers claim that the new schedule which has been offered to the men is perfectly fair one and that owing to increase ill the cost of mate rial and the decrease in profits they are unable to offer any better terms
 Of the three matters in dispute the question of discharge seems to be the chief stumbling block

TEXT WAS UNFAMILIAR.

several years ago there 1abored in one of the western villages of Mime sota preacher who was always in the Ina bit of selecting his texts from the Old Testament, and particularly some portion of the history of Noah. No matter what the occasion was, he would always find some parallel incl dent from the history of this great character that would readily serve as q text or illustration.
 At one time he was called upon to unite the daughter of the village mayor and a prominent attorney in the holy ponds of matrimony. Two little boys knowing his determination to give hem portion 4of the sacred history sDuching Noah's7 marriage. hit upon the ! ,pvel idea of pasting together two i+,ayes in the family Bible so as to ,o0p pnect, without any apparent break. marriage of Noah and the descrip- ~, or the Ark of the Covenant.

LIQUID FUEL FOR STEAMERS


 With .na object Of witnessing ne- ,nanssraticg ot sne adaptability or nsS rid r-FeI 10 stesT1snlp pprposes,ss- parsy of gentlemen, at the invitation or tne managers of the sShelr' Transport and Trading company, went on poalu the steamship Strombus at lnaMes Haven, and there witnessed tne plo, cess of taking fuel oil aboard anu lighting up the furnaces. lt was stated that when using Welsh coai lne Strombus consumed about forty-tWo or forty-three tons a day, put thae her oil consumption only averageu 1 rwenty-eight to thirty tons daily. An other point was the saving of laDor, one man only being needed to attend to the furnaces. A 6-inch main was ! used to lead the fuel on board, and " 1 this method it was possible, in clean and easy way, to "fueP' tne Strombus in about four hours, withoul any more manual labor than ttal in- yoIyed by the attendance of oae man to stand by the cocks of the oil Inaln, !. Equally simple was the 'lisntlng up process. An engineer trfned on tue few taps and the oil sprayeu py steam pressure througl the burners ln- to the furnaces, wss lighted, and ln a few seconds the stokehold hummed with the noise of :he blazing fluid. Speaking at the luncheon which fol- lowed the inspection, Sir Fortescue Flannery, NJ. F., said managers of great liners were looking forward hopefully to the possibilities of liquid fuel, not only as q means of cheapen- ing the cost of handling the fuel, but as a means of improving the speed of their vessels by enabling them auto matical1y to consume the large quan- tity of fuel that they required. That the use of fuel oil had been an ad- vantage commercially to the owners of the Strombus there could be no doubt at all, and it would be equally to the advantage of other owners t adopt the liquid fuel instead of co. The large steamer on which they gre then assembled had q crew of fghI hands, apart from the engineer ahu he had the authority of Mir Ctrk, or the British India company, 70 saying that if running with coal ,nder or dinary conditions such as o1tained III the case of his own coppany she would probably require g crew of no fewer than thirty-two hardS.
 M. s. Abrahams (Shell company, after referring to the depots that had already been established east of Suez. said the Shell company also purposed establishing depots at all the principal European ports, ia England and ill America, so that vessels travelling from one end of the earth to the other could obtain supplies of liquid fuel wherever they could now obtain coal.
