DIR. Walker noted the skirts of Mr..

compliment and Nelson went on to ask
why lie had painted no more like it.
Because, my lord" answered the
artist, there are no more subjects

think of that"

Oldest Ship in the World.

The time was when American ships
carried a broom at the mast head as
a sign that America swept the seas.
In those days fine ship-building tim
Der grew right down to the shore on
the Atlantic coast, and there was
hardly bay on the New England
shore where there was not a ship
building yard. So it happens that
most of the old sailing ships are built
of American or Norwegian timber
have seen hundreds of old square rig
gers roaming the world under strange
lean soil. Ships built of Essex oak are
famous for their longevity. The oldest
ship in the world, the mail schooner
Vigilant, running into st. Croix, f. w
l., is now under the French flag, but
was built, so 1 have been told, in 1902,
of Essex oak at Essex, Mass, and was
long under the stars and stripes.
But alas, Americans in these days
can neither afford to build ships nor
to sail them as American ships, eX-
cept In the coastwise trade, where they
are protected by law. 1t costs nearly
one-fourth more to build a steel steam
ship in America than in England or
Germany, and when they are built
they are either not as good or are
more unlucky. The underwriters rec
Ords show that American-built ships
do not stand the racket compared with
the Clyde output.-Leslie's Monthly.
