any more than you can tell me what
electricity is, yet electricity is more
real than the works of man. 1t may be,
indeed, that the discovery Of what
electricity actually is will answer the
question of what our spiritual bodies
will be in the heaven I conceive.
I'm that heaven we will have things
IN do. There will be art and literature
and music. There will be cities to
build, friends to serve, and ambitions to
lead us on-ambitions not of selfishness,
but of fraternity. 1 fancy there are
many universes like this. an infinite
series of them one may suppose, and
through them We will go on, step by
step. as we came into this world. Prof.
Zolner declared that he firmly believed
there was fourth dimension, and that,
I fancy, we will find in the world of
spirits. where there will be not only
length, breadth, and thickness, but also
that other dimension, the mere nature
of which now surpasses our comprehen-

Man and Labor.

Edwin Markham, author of the Man
with the Hoe" spoke. Sunday. at New
| York. at the mass meeting in obser-
vance of the Dist. annual conference of
| the National Florence Crittenton
Mission. Mr.. Markham said he had
been asked to speak of the dignity of
labor. but what he should say would
more properly apply to the dignity of
man.
IL can find no drudGery in labor" he
said. 1T has been dignified through all
the history of the world. since the law
makers of ancient Egypt inquired,
Have you ever stopped running water?
Have you ever denied the use of your
boat to cross the water? Have you
ever demeaned the servant in the
presence of his Master p"
Christ was the first example and the
real source of the dignity of labor
said Mr.. Markham. He was 4
carpenter. His father, too. was a
carpenter-and therein is the true
aristocracy of labor. in that it is an
inheritance"
1.-The man whose chief interest is to
watch the clock for quitting time and
to count the hours until pay day will
find labor drudgery. without dignity.
The man whose heart really enters into
the proper performance of his work will
find it not only dignified, but the
source of happiness.
THE old monks said labor was wor-
ship. 1t is as sacred to sweep a room
in the masters name as it is to make a
prayer. Labor and love, I believe, will
be the two great pillars of the heaven
to which we aspire. I conceive heaven
will not be a place of rest. There will
be rest there. but it will come through
action. We will have spiritual bodies
more real than the material bodies we
now have. I can't tell you how that is.

Usefulness of BattIeships.

The destruction of so many battle
ships in the Russo-Japanese war is
again calling attention of naval experts
to points which have always been de-
batable but never agreed upon. In re-
porting the naval appropriation bill
conference, Senator Hale of Maine was
outspOken in his criticism of that style
of warship. Maine naval authorities at
Washington differ, saying that so long
as other countries build battleships we
must do the same and that the results
to date in the East do not warrant
abandoning the battleship style. In the
war with Spain our ships destroyed
battleships and torpedo boats with
equal ease. An English submarine
boat has been sunk with all on board.
The life of the man-of-wars man,
whether at peace or in battle is full of
danger and no type of vessel can be
called Safe. The Car proposed to
have universal peace by disarmament
and he is doing his share by sending
his warships where the Japs can dis
pose of them.

New EnoIand in Politics.

The Boston Globe recently decided
that New England doesn't stand for
enough in national politics. feeling
little sore over delay in the work Of i'm
proving Boston harbor patted Repre-
sentative McNary of Massachusetts
OH the back for having introduced a
resolution asking an investigation, and
comparing the delay at Boston with the
The Globe said:
1T all points to the fact that New
England is not in the proper sphere OF
influence to receive the same atten-
tions from Congress that may be
claimed by one of the great. powerful
Middle States. AS has been justly said,
our great factors of influence in Con-
g-ess represent the States that count
most in national politics rather than
Massachusetts.
when New England stands for more
in national politics she may expect to
have matters of public interest hurried
along with as much expedition as is
found in more favored sections"
The Washington Post hastens to the
rescue of New England and says it is
quality not quantity which tells the
story. That quality has been known
the world over for many years and the
Globe is the first to hint that New Eng
lands representation in Congress is not
up to it's old standard. The Post says:
Whether or not Boston has been I'M
fairly treated in this matter or mas

not prepared to determine. 1t VIII not'
however, be questioned that New Eng
land, whose commercial emporium
Boston is, has as efficient representa-
ton in Washington as Pennsylvania.
All of her twelve Senators and nearly
all of her tWenty-nine Representatives
are Republicans. She is represented Ill
the Cabinet and the Supreme Court,
and has her full quota of other oflices
or all grades. That New England
influence in the government in all OF It's
departments and branches is quite as
potential as that of Pennsylvania is not
reasonably doubtful Nor is there any
wide prevalence of an impression that,

ricion of anything of that kind.
When will or when can New Eng
land stand for more in national
politics." Is there any prospect that
her representation in Congress and the
electoral college will be proportionately
increased by rapid growth of popula-
ton? Not the least hope shows up in
that quarter The course of empire is
still westward, and will be so for many
decades. The Southwest has room for
many millions. Texas is the coming
Empire State, and it is coming fast.
The South. the old South, is a most
inviting field for immigration and
enterprise. 1t has already drawn many
millions of capital from New England.
and will get much more.
New England has always stood for
much in national pOlitics-for much
mere than her quota on the basis of
population-but there is no probability
that she will ever "Stand for more"
For the future, as for years past, her
standing will depend more OH the
quality than the quantity of her popu-
lation.

According to a London cable dcspatc

According to a London cable despatch
to the New York sun. Richard
Croker recognizes the folly of the
Democrats in attempting to elect a
President this year. He is quoted as
saying: "Of course, we haven't a
chance this election. What we've got
to do is to consolidate the party so as
to put in a Democrat in 1908. Nc
Clellau is the best man to nominate at
this time. but we won't improve the
prospects of consolidation by splitting
votes between him and Parker. We
must work for 1905" The Philadelphia
Press agrees with Croker and adds:
And the party will have to undergo a
wonderful amount of transformation to
have any promise of success in 1908.

A Michigan man has invented a pneu-
matte STRENGTHENING machine devoid OF
any brush or broom appliances. When
the cleaner Is drawn over the surface it
draws imp the dust and dirt by means
of an exhause, which takes the place of
brushes and brooms. The device draws
tho dust and dirt into a repository, where
It as held until dumped into cart, and so
the dirt Is not allowed to stand in un-
sisntiy piles around the streets waiting to
ne hauled away by wagons. The inventor
claims that his machine will clean a
street so thoroughly that II will not need

on must not be damp.
