ENLARGIRe THE NAVY.

EfANY OF THE HERALD'S contem-
w poraries are urging with all the
vigor IN their power such an increase
in the country's navy as viii place It
far ahead, in that particular, of any
other country on earth. There is no
denying the fact that since we have
become a world power, with dependent
colonies thousands of miles from our
coast lines, our need for great navy
has increased. If we are to forever
maintain and properly defend our de-
Tendencies, it behooves us to have
enough naval war engines to keep the
whole world at bay.
But would It be advantageous at this
time for the United States to order a
number of new warships? No war cloud
IS threatening the country and none
seems likely 70 threaten it, It has been
said, and truly, that the time IN which
10 prepare for war is the time Of peace.
Suppose q dozen new battleships are
added to our navy within the next two
years? Where will the officers and men
with which to handle them come from?
Naval experts have been writing to
the newspapers and the magazines for
months complaining about the shortage
OF officers in the navy. Tt is authorita-
lively stated that the navy is now short
no less than 800 officers. At the pres
ent rate of progress it win be a long,
long time before Annapolis can supply
that number or anything like it. Even
II the number of cadets at the naval
academy is increased by Zoe or 200 per
cent, II must be remembered that the
young men cannot be graduated in a
day or a week or a year.
The navy department is face to face
with another contingency. Where are
the men who are to man the guns to be
found? Complaint after complaint has
been made about the difficulty in Sc
curing recruits for the navy With
stations open all over the United States
the supply is far below the demand.
Further. assertions from ghe navy are
said TO be numerous, the conditions I'M
der some commanders being almost in
toIerabIe.
without officers and without men
what good will the new ships do us? Is
II not likely that they VIII lie at their
docks until they become obsolete? We
believe the matter of a new navy is
one in which it VIII be wise to make
haste slowly Strengthen the coast de-
lenses wherever necessary, but don't

Of enriching a few shiphrilding con-
Germs that do not need the money.

UNION OF scRUswoMEN.

HE SCRUBWOMEN of Chicago. Of
whom there are more than 500
have formed a union and have applied
regularly for admission to the Chicago
Federation of Labor. Their action has
brought out something of the hsrdships
scrubwomen are compelled to undergo
and the absurd1y small compensation
they receive for their arduous labor
said one of them to John j. Fitzpat-
rick, organizer % the federation:

The woman who told this story either

floor every night. That is at the rate
| of 1886 square feet each week, and
21l6SO0 square feet a year. For thirty
years she has been doing this sort OF
work, and she says she expects to keep
on doing it until her life has been lit
orally scrubbed away. Her experience
! is not different from the experience of
her sisters. All the rest have to work
! as hard as she does and it is small
wonder that they desire some relief.
If the average male worker were
compelled to accomplish as much
physical labor in a night as the scrub
Women of Chicago and other large
cities do, he would think himself but
poorly paid if he received So a night
instead of 81 cents, the scrubwOman'5
stipend. The Herald hopes the Fedora
tiOn of Labor will admit the newly
formed union to its ranks and that it
win see that the wrongs of it's mem
bers are righted.
1t would be hard for the employers
of the scrubwomen to advance a sin
gle good reason why they should be
kept on starvation wages except the
fact that they are willing to work for
such wages, or have been for years. A
very small fraction of 1 per cent clipped
off the dividends from the office build
ings would suffice to make these poorly
paid employees more than comfortable.

WHERE GOD IS.

(Alfred j. WaterhoUse in N Y. Times.)
We used 20 sit together, my Uncle job
and 1.
And watch the sunset glory where it lin
gered in the sky:
Wide fields of crimson, purple edged;
great citadels OF flame;
The shifting play of shade and ray in
some fantastic game;
The shadow host that leaped and ran TO
kiss the fading world
And whispered peace" and peace" and
peace" ere day its banners fUrled.
And, as we watched the lambert flames
that Quivered in the air,
My uncle DOTTED his hat and said: MY
boy. our God is there"
Sometimes we sat beside brook beneath
the shady trees
And heard the songs of ali the birds, the
whisper of the breeze.
Afar the landscape stretched away
through summer lands of cheer;
Forgotten wrong in natures song that
souls enraptured hear;
Above. a sea OF deepest blue. with Isles
of fleecy cloud,
And birds to voyage Ger the main that
never mortal plowed;
And long wf'd sit. and long we'd dream
and know the daytide cheer:
Then uncle would in reverence say; MY
boy. our God is here.
Long years ago my uncle died, the sun
light on his hair.
But. wheresoever he bides today. know
his God is there,
For IL by chance he should not reach the
heav'n through spaces dim,
Where'er he went would be content: he'd
take his heavn with him:
And watching all the shifting scenes of
life's fantastic play.
I've learned one truth, and learned It well.
and e'er / humbly say:
The God we love all gods above, the God
OF praise ana prayer,
Is ever IN the loving heart that longs ta
hold him there.

THE NEW YEAR.

7 Asst MIDNIGHT marked the turn
l. ing Of another page IN the great
tome Of Time. What is written there
OF JOY, Of sorrow, Of success, of fall
ure, Of laughter, OF tears. all men NAV
read A clean. fresh page is opened
Tor all of US today. Another year has
been born, a year that will, let us hope,
be full OF happiness for most of US,
out that cannot fail to bring sadness
for some.
How these years do hurry It seems
but yesterday that the twelve months
now spent were ushered in with bell
and whistle, with, merry salutations
and serene prophecies for future well
fare. Now the minutes, the hours, the
days, the months have taken their.
places in the mUsty archives OF the
past for those who lived therein to
dream on in the days to come. 20
Some Of those who were with US in
our celebration of a year ago are
asleep today; some Of those who are
here today viii be asleep before the
next New Years rollcau; but the ranks
viii close up, as they have always
shoulders squared the depleted regi-
ments win march on hopefully toward
the setting sun.
The year that has passed was filled
with good things for men. The year
that has begun seems like to bring
forth even more Of good. 1t is wise
sometimes, to forget the past, but it
IS wise, also. to remember. Let us blot
out the recollection OF the failures. the
trials, the heartaches, but let us re-
member the successes and the achieve
ments.
As the mill will never turn with the
water that is past. so nothing is
ever gained by brooding over hours
that have been run. The greatest
thing about the future is the hope that
It gives to fainting hearts. We don't
know what the new year has in store
for us. but we face it with calm and
courageous hearts.
II was a wise dispensation of Previ-
dence when he dropped that veil before
the future. 1t is a veil that hides so
many discouragements, so many fruit
less exertions. Hidden, too. is the
knowledge, except in a general way,
that rewards come to the workers, but
that is well. for the workers might
refrain from toiling if they knew the
rewards were sure.
The Herald wishes all of its circle of
readers a merry, a prosperous and an
abundantly successful New Year. May
every day contain a happy record for
you and may the disappointments be
fewer than in any year now num-
bered with the past. And success will
come if we work while we wait, for
Life IS real, life is earnest.
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art. 20 dust returneSt,
Was not spoken of the soul.

MIRACLES AND RELIGION.

THE NEW YORK Independent, one
of the best known and most wide
ly read religious papers in the United
States, in answering the question as
to whether or not a belief in mircales
is essential to Christianity, take radi-
cal negative ground. The Herald is
not inclined to believe that the Inde-'
pendent speaks for a majority of The
Christian people of the land, but it's
opinion is interesting because it shows
how far churchmen may go nowadays
without being branded as heretics.
Says the Independent:
Belief in miracles is a purely in
tellectual act. 1t is not ethical or spir-
itual. 1t has nothing to do with char
acter. IL depends on arguments. on
evidence. It goes when evidence goes
So far as it is religious, it is con-
cerned solely with the theological side
of the religion, with its philosophy or
its history. 1t has value, great value,
it is true, IN the evidence it brings
of God. Yet we have sufficient evil
dence of God without miracles.
Whether Christ was born of a vir-
gin or not, whether his flesh and blood
and bones rose from the sepuIchre or
not, whether 400 believers saw
him ascend into heaven or not
and we shall not hasten to give up our
believe yet known that the Chris
tan religion rests on the Sermon on
the Mount, on the eleventh command
ment. on the regeneration of the soul
taught to Nicodemus, on Paurs psalm
of charity
Many of us viii go a considerable
part of the distance with the Inde-
pendent. In order to be a Christian
it is perhaps not necessary to believe
that Christ literally turned water into
wine. that he raised the widows son
from death to life or that he fed the
multitude with few loaves and fishes.
The Sermon on the Mount is an epit-
ONE of a religion that is good enough
for anybody. but The Herald confesses
a difficulty in reconciling Christianity
with the belief that the literal resur-
rection of Christ is a myth, a fable,
an ancient allegory.
The basis of Christianity is the
resurrection of the spirit after death.
the hope of a life in the hereafter
which shall be free from earthly suf-
ferings. earthly sorrows. earthly
anguish. Take. away that belief and
you destroy the root of Christianity.
And it is well nigh impossible to be-
Iieve in the resurrection unless one
believes also that Christ rose. from the
dead.

Nature and Plants.

Dr. Andrew Wilson writes: IF we
assumed that flowers were merely
evolved to crafty human senses we
should be entertaining q woefully linn
tied view of nature. The botanist will
tell you that everything about flower
is meant to favor one end. That end
is the production of seeds and the prop
agation of the species. The colors Of
flowers-nay, even the little splashes Of
hue or tint seen on a petal-are in
tended to attract insects that they may
carry off the fertilizing dust, or pollen,
to other flowers of the same or near
species and thus insure q sturdier race
as the result of cross fertilization. 1t
is to this end also that your flowers are
many Of them sweet scented. The per-
fume is another kind of invitation to
the insect world. The honey they Sc
crete forms q third attraction-the
most practical of all, perhaps. Then
the arrangement of the flowers on the
stalk, the times Of opening and shut
ting of the flowers and the position of
the stamens and pistils are all so many
features whereby nature is giving each
plant help on the way"

Prize Sentences.

The winner of a prize of guinea
offered by the London academy to the
person who should select the three
most pregnant and felicitous sentences
from any authors, chose the following
three quotations. The first was from
Ruskin:
"Fancy plays like squirrel in its
circular prison and is happy; but mag
ination is a pilgrim on the earth-and
her home is in heaven" The second
sentence was taken from the works of
Mazzini: Encouragement is but dis
enchanted egotism." The third was
the following from Robert Louis Ste
venson: 'The true wisdom is to be al
ways seasonable, and to change with
good grace in changing circum-
stances. To love playthings well as a
child, to lead an adventurous and hon.
orable youth and to settle when the
time arrives into a green and smiling
age is to be a good artist In life and
deserve well of yourself and your
neighbour"

ResourcefuI Major Pond.

Major Pond was never upset in diff
culties. Once he was travelling with
Ian Maclaren. There was q break
down on the railway and the prospect
of lecture engagement being missed
and $1,000 lost. What he did was to
telegraph long and merry message to
the audience about the breakdown, say
ing he and Ian Maclaren would be ar
irving not more than half an hour late.
Singing was provided to entertain the
audience. When the half hour was up
in came another telegram more cheer
full than ever, saying that they were
coming along and that Ian Maclaren
was determined to lecture to that au-
dience If all the railways in the world
had broken down.
The Americans are an emotional peo-
pie, and they were interested. Every
twenty minutes in came a fresh tele-
gram with something funny and bright
about it and always declaring that the
great novelist was advancing. 1t was
half past 10 when the couple reached
the platform, and the welcome given
them was hilarious.
