JUST LIKE CARLYLE.
Savage EpistIe from the Bographer of
Oliver Cromwell.

Oliver Cromwell.
An unpublished and most character
istic letter of Carlyle's has recently
appeared in the London Times. He had
been asked to subscribe toward the
raising, at ST. Ives, of statue to the
Protectors and his adherence was quail
flied with no little ferocity for the peo-
pie who presumed to celebrate at the
same time Cromwell and king Hud-
son. the great railroad Spectator.
The project for the Cromwell monu-
ment lapsed. and st. Ives waited until
the other day for a memorial OF It's
greatest citizen The dedication, the
Times correspondent assures us,
| passed off without the ocean of fun
| merry and mere idle ba1derdash" which
| Carlyle deprecated. The biographer OF
| Cromwell writes:
MY private opinion, l confess, is
| that the present generation of English
! men-who have filled their towns with
such set of public statues as were
never before erected by any people,
ugly braZen images Ito mere common
place adventures with titles on tlAm,
| and even sometimes to mere paltry
scoundrels, worthy of immediate OBJ
livion only, and who have winded up
their enterprises in the statue or me-
mortal line by subscribing G25,OOO to
a memorial for King Hudson-are not
likely to do themselves or anybody
much good by setting up statues to
oliver Cromwell. I fear they have for
feited the right to pretend to remem-

Cromwell's divine memory, sad, stern
and earnest as the gods, says virtually
to them, Forget me and pass on, ye
unhappy canaille; carry your onerlaS:

resolved, if such a thing do go on, tt

at Bertha, who, thinking OF Ethel. had
choked down a lump, which. to her
shame and confusion, rose In ner

Now that Ethel had unhesitat-
ingly thrown Rob over. Bertha
felt that further protest was
useless; nay. more, she felt that she
was on the verge of tears and that II
she remained in the room with her
sister she would do or say something
to be sorry for.
She left the room and the house;
she felt that she wanted to be alone
in order to recover her composure. Al
most uncone ciously she took the path
to a favorite spot with the young peo-
nile of both households, clump OF
willows half way between the Trent
and Hills homesteads, where the boys
wears ago had built rustic seat.
There she sat thinking, her eyes full
of tears, her heart aching.

and her behavior on the occasion was
generously rewarded by her aunt and
her uncle-in-law. Ethel had the sat
isfaction of knowing that her trous-
seau would be all that could be de-
sired.
AS for Rob Hills, Ethel never took
him into consideration; as she said,
why should she? Half the young men
| in Kaowoc were more or less In love
with her Rob was her brothers
snecial friend, and so, oftener at the
house than any of the others, pue
much more was taken for granted than
had ever been said.
Bertha Trent, four years younger
than her sister, admired Ethel beyond
measure. She herself was barely good
looking, and accustomed to be over
Swallowed by her brilliant sister upon
fected glory and never thought to be
jealous.
ONLY now was she disappointed when
everyone else was praising Ethel for
that she had done so we'll to herself.
Bertha was intensely loyal and she
loved Rob better than she even knew.
She had always taken it for granted
that her two swans must mate, and
her air castles had all been built with
that end in view. There was nobody
good enough in her eyes for Ethel
but Rob, and how could anyone whom
Rob loved fail to say him yea?
So when Ethel came HON after si7
months absence, bringing her sheaVe!

Cinnamon EmigratinE.

The Englishman writing about Chi
namen immigrating to Calcutta from
the Canton districts, and then finding
wives among the lower classes of the
Eurasian community, makes the re-
mark that the children of these mar
riages are generally educated on west
ern lines, that is to say, they are
taught to speak, read and write Eng
fish. and are given a grounding IN
arithmetic and accounts. They are
then apprenticed to their fathers
trades This fact may partly account
for the rapidity with which Cinnamon
are ousting natives of India in the
business of shoemaking and carpen-
try. which they have made their own
in Calcutta" Burmah opens out
good field for Chinese immigration,
says the Mandalay Herald. and the
only wonder is that the government
does not suffi GENTLY encourage China
men immigratinS hither. Down al
| Australasia Cinnamon have fiocked IN
| shoals, some contracting marriages
with European women, and from pas
experience have been found to be goot
| factors and formidable rivals not only
in commerce, but in the several handl
crafts of trade, so much so that thei
| immigration into the colonies has beel
made prohibitive by taxes and othe

A VAST NAVAL PROGRAM.
In Time of Peace Franco Prepares for
Possible War.

POSSIBLE war.
I'm time of peace prepare for war
is an axiom which France has made
the basis Of her new naval program.
This program provides for the con-
struction of 100 new fighting ships as
an addition to a navy which in size
and effectiveness is second only to
Great Britain's. The first Of these
ships has already been launched. 1t is
the Leon Ga1nbetta and will cost about
Sc. OOO, 600 1t will be seen, therefore,
that France means not merely to build
the new ships but is resolved that no
expense shall be spared in making
them the best of their class. Although
England is mistress of the seas by
virtue OF her immense naval establish
ment and maritime spirit, French
naval constructors have no superiors
in the world, and French war vessels
are inferior to none. Indeed, it is con-
coded that, next to the United States.
France is more progressive in naval
construction than any other nation.

The firemen of Japan spend their

the firemen are not over anxious to
minimize the ravages of fire lest their

aging the Reindeer.
The Lap women who live in Alaska
are proving themselves exceedingly
valuable by their aptness in the man
agement and care of the reindeer and
they are now teaching the native Alas-
kan art, if such it may be called. There
are about a dozen reindeer statlons
now established in Alaska and more 2
to follow. The natives are required 10:
serve an apprenticeship of several
years at the reindeer stations. During
this time they are practically taught
how to manage the deer and the max
ing of sledges and reindeer harness.
After the expiration of their service
the government allows each number
of deer as his own personal property
The total number of reindeer in Alas
ka at present is $500, of which some
1000 have been distributed to the Es-
kimos.
The average Lap woman is pic

and robust and ten chances to one

Lapland cradle, which is hewn out OF

| is one of the most noted women OF
(, the colony. She is very intelligent, and
her particular duty is to teach the rs

| deer clothing, which is the warmest
and best adapted for Arctic climates.
She also instructs them how to pre-
pare the various foodstuffs which the
reindeer furnishes, such as butter,
cheese, and the cooking and the dry
ing of the meat For this work she
receives the same pay as the herders.
She travels from station to station,
where the classes of women are assem-
bled from the surrounding county OF
100 miles or more. She then gives
daily object lessons in her domestic
work and gradually the Eskimo wom-
en- are taught the ways of civilization.

MUSHROOMS AS FOOD.
They Give PalatabIeness to Other Food
Materials.

Materials.
Recent Investigations made by the
department of agriculture show that
mushrooms are about equal to pota-
toes Vl the element of nutrition that
goes to make flesh and blood, but
that on the other hand. they do not
hold much of the fuel stuff required to
keep the body machine ruf ming. Con-
tanning, as they do, a very large per-
centage of water, they may be said, in
a sense, to correspond with fresh vege-
tables in respect to food value. The
notion that their composition resem-
bles closely that of meat-a concep-
ton which has caused the term veg
etable beefsteak" to be applied to them
is an absurd error. One would
have to consume eight pounds of
mushro a in a day in order to take
the placeS the ordinary ration of beef
or mutton. The great usefulness of
mushrooms lies in the palatableness
which they give to other food mate
rials. This is matter of no small
Importance from the point of view of
the economic expert in dietetics who
looks upon the attractiveness of dish
es as a notable element in their value.
This common mushroom is a trifle
more than 81 per cent water. 1t con-
tains nearly per cent of flesh form
ing stuff, 31a per cent of starchy and
sugar substances, and / per cent of fat
and fibre, with one-half of 1 per cent
of mineral material.
