Wi,lful womnn.

After the old gentleman had invited
the young one to be seated the latter
coughed once or twice to clear his
throat and then bluntly suggested that
he wished to marry the old gentleman's
daughter. ~
The old gentleman didn't wish to be
too ready to give his consent, but he
admitted after few minutes he
thought he had no objections. y
"That's just the trouble" protested
the young man disconsolately. "If
you'd only oppose 1t and order me out
of the house once or twice and buy a
bulldog I'd have some show Of getting
her."-New York Press.

Our own opinion, which we have fire.
quently set forth, is that alcoholic bev-
erages are of value in certain forms Of
disease and that their value depends
not SO much upon the alcohol, but upon
the vinous others which these bever-
ages contain or should contain. No
medical man doubts that intemperance
IN alcohol is an appalling factor in the
spread of crime, disease and poverty,
and 1t is undoubtedly the duty Of the
medical profession to cndeavor to stay
the curse of drink by every means in
Its power.-London Lancet.

As to nIob..

You can't punish mob unless you
punish 1t while 1t is mob. A man is
not the same man while he is in mob
as he is while he is an individual, and
this is one reason why 1t is so difficult
ever to punish and individual for what
be did as part of mob. This dis
tincton Is not fanciful; 1t is real DIFF
ference, and public sentiment and pros
ecutng officers and Juries recognize 1t,
whether they know 1t or not. For this
reason 1t is generally useless to hope
for the punishment Of men after mob
has dispersed. Worlds Work.

Bo.ton the literary center.

The assertion that Boston was the lit
erary center without quotation marks
during the period in which American
literature acquired q shelf Of Its own In
the library Of the race is hardly open
to dispute. The production Of books
possessing something like perlnanence
is perhaps the most characteristic mark
of center to which the term literary"
in its true meaning OF related to liter
ature" may be applied. Name the Amer
lean writers whose work has stood the
test Of half a century, and, with few
notable exceptions, they belong to Bos-
ton and its neighborhood. All this Is
thrice familiar. The record Of 1t in out
line or detail is story which has been

have been SO clearly defined. Ever since
the commerce Of the north Atlantic as
sumed important proportions sailing
masters have followed in a general
way the great circle that curves north
ward from the west coast of England
and Ireland until 1t reaches about 40
degrees north latitude in mtdocean,
then bears southwestward past the
coast of Newfoundland and Cape Race.
EARLY experience proved that this was
the shortest and so, of course, the
quickest route between Europe and
such ports as Boston, New York and
Philadelphia.
While steam nayigators kept fairly
near this course it was natural
enough that they should vary from 1t
somewhat according to the theories Of
Individual captains With the multiple
cation Of steamships and the rapid in
crease in speed the very fact that all
the larger and swifter vessels kept to
one particular part Of the ocean greatly
increased the danger Of collision be-
tween them. When forty or fifty swift
steamers were crossing the Atlantic ut
the same time in one direction or the
other, all keeping to the same general
course irrespective of the direction In
which they were travelling. 1t was OBJ
vious that the possibility Of two of
them coming together in thick weather
was too great to be contemplated pleas.
antly.
So Lieutenant Maury Of the United
States navy made the suggestion that
all fast steamships should traverse GER
tain fixed routes, which he indicated
paths following the great circle pretty
closely, for 1t was natural that the
steamship companies would not agree
to the adoption Of any route that In
volyed q loss of time in making the
ocean passage.
The most important provision sug-
gested by Lieutenant Maury was that
vessels going in opposite directions
should observe the rules Of the road by
passing one another on the port side.
To carry out this plan he proposed that
west bound vessels should keep about
one degree to the northward Of those
east bound. Thus the greatest danger
from the following Of indiscriminate
routes-that Of collision between fast
ships be avoided. While 1t is
desirable in point of time for ships to
steer their course far to the north, the
presence of ice and fog in the high lat
itudes makes 1t impracticable for them
to do SO during fully half the year. Ac-
cordingly, Lieutenant Maury provided
for two great highways, one for SUM
lmer. the other for winter. one about
three degrees to the northward of the
other and each with west bound and
east bound tracks.
The rivalry between the different
lines was SO great at that time that
each hesitated to give unconditional
adherence to the plan. fearing that
some other would gain an advantage.
Two prominent steamship managers,
however. quickly appreciated the ad-
vantages Of Lieutenant Maury's Nplan
and independently of their competitors

PATHS OF THE OCEAN
ORIGIN OF THE LANES TRAvERseD
BY ATLANTIC LINERS.

The Northern and Southern Routes
to md From Europe, nv Indicated
by Lieutenant Mnury-sinimising
the Danger of Collisions.
In reports of the arrival Of an ocean
liner the statement sometimes appears
that she came by the southern route"
to avoid ice or that she made her first
trip of the season "by the northern
lane" To the ordinary reader the idea
of lanes or pathways ON what we have
been taught to think of us "the track
less sea" seems somewhat paradoXical,
but If you consult the charts in the Of
fee of steamship manager or in the
United States hydrographi office instead
of the ordinary map you will find that
there IRE four well defined highways
across the north Atlantic Us clearly
marked to the navigator's perception
as is time Worn turnpike on land to
the eyes of the pedestrian.
1t is over these great ocean thorough
fares that the Atlantic tiiers, with their
leuS VI tuOuSduuS VI phSSehSShS AAAu
their hundreds of thousands of tons of
freight, pass on their voyages between
america aud Europe. They are closely
adhered to by all fast steam vessels
and just us carefully avoided by sail
ing ships and by the fishermen who ply
their trade off the Grand banks. The
situation Of a small craft on the liners
route would be comparable to that of
man driving light runabout along n
railway track cleared for the fast linn
tied, for these main travelled lines have
been set aside by custom and agree
ment for the Atlantic's lightning ex-
presses. Nobody is delayed ut sidings
or confined to special tracks, however,
for the rest Of the ocean is left to the
ordinary rnnriner

Going to Give Ahearn His Hands Full, in
His Home District.

Cyrus l.. Sulzberger, the fusion candidate
for President Of Manhattan borough, called
on District Attorney Jerome last night and
they had long consultation together.
Mr.. Jerome's home, al Rutgers street. is IN
the Fourth Assembly district, Of which
John F. Ahearn has been tie Tammany
leader for many long and successful years
Mr. Ahearn is the Tammany. candidate
against Mr.. Sulzberger.
Mr. Ahearn is likewise particularly strong
with the Hebrew element in the district.
Mr.. Sulzberger feels that to a certain ex-
tent he was put on the fusion ticket to
give it strength among the Hebrew voters
OF the East Side. He called on Mr. Jerome,
presumably, to ask the District Attorneys
aid as resident in the district in cam
paigning against Mr.. Ahearn. 1t was I'M
derstood after the conference that Mr..
Jerome agreed to do everything in his
power to help MIR Sulzberger lick Mr..
Ahearn.
Mr.. sulzberger saw Mayor Low yes
terday and got him to promise 10 20 down
into the Fourth for at least one night and
appear before the voters at several small
halls, to give them good word and as
surances of his distinguished considera-
ton Mr. Sulzberger is going to spend
all the time he can get away from the big
meetings In fighting ex-senator Ahearn
on the lower East Side. He spoke last
night at the Acorns' East Side headquarters,
In East Broadway, opposite Seward Park
and was followed from the hall to the
door of Mr.. Jerome's house by mob Of his
cheering fellow citizens.
