The Standard Oil Company Has Found

of plumber. This giant trust supplies
over ninety per cent of the foreign de-
mand for OIL 1t has competed with
the large oil interests of Russia, which
are controlled by the Rothschilds and
the Nobel Brothers, but it has never
overpowered them. This Is due to the
Russian laws regulating foreign trade
interests. The Standard Oil company
controls the export price everywhere
in the world except within the limits
of Russian territory, where competi-
ton has not been stified. Russia is
! just as rich in petroleum products as
| is the United States, and but for the
power of the Standard Oil company
they would be supplied tc America by
Russian producers. Russia protects
her oil industry by a two hundred per
cent tariff; the United States puts oil
on the free list. The car is not re-
sponsible for this state of affairs. The
power of the Rothschilds carried it
into effect. These astute financiers
pictured to the bureaucracy the in
finite horror of an American trust

price The Rothschilds told the bu
reaucrats that if the Standard Oil
company should become as powerful in
Russia as in America, it would only
add to the everburning fires of interna
mistrust and rebellion in one way Oh
another. For that reason the Russian
government created the high tariff and

Nobel Brothers to almost monopolizt

A LOVE SONG.

We sit together in our souls high win
dow, Dearest,
That looks upon the street of hu-
man life;
Within, our happy home; without, the
world thou fearest;
Within, our peace; without, mans
angry strife.
Look out! see how strange eyes look
here upon us,
How poor they think our dwelling
and how cheap;
They dream not of our godlike joys
and honors,
The rich, ripe fields of blessing that
we reap.
Nay, close the curtain; it is wrong,
my sweetest,
That they should see the love they
do not know;
Our love, the purest, Darling, and COM
pletest
God ever trusted to our earth below.
Sit here, my Love, with all the world
behind us,
Sit hand in hand, nor dare to speak
word;
'Tis wronging God to share what He
consigned us
With every outcast of the human
herd.
So sit we by the souls sweet Preside,
Fairest;
The days go by as light winds kiss
the flowers;
They seek through all earth's sweet
est and earth's rarest
A love so sweet, love so rare, as
ours.

complexion from the magnolias thaa

of her eyes and hair from the
wondrous tropical beauty of ths'

whispering of the zephyrs and the
changeful song of the mockingbira.
Much of her health is undoubtedly
owing to the fruit she eats; oranges

lander, proves more interesting TO the
stranger within the gates than to the
resident New Yorker.
There are hundred thousand visi
tors in town. Some are merchants
and buyers preparing for the autumn
trade, some are honeymooners, some
visiting country cousins, some elderly
people of well-earned leisure. Many a
town apartment of people who sum
mer" in the mountains or at the shore
is sublet by country people who find
New York as a summer resort"
attractive.
These people flock to the Metropolis
tan Museum in droves and there get
the better of the natives. For though
the Metropolitan can never rival the
European collections of great paintings
and statues it does compare favorably
with anything in the world in certain
specialties. Its collection of musical
instruments is extremely fine, its Illus
trations of architectural styles are
useful and ingenious; and though
America is the newest of the lands il
will soon present great advantages for
the study of ancient civilizations with
the treasure of Nemi added to the res
toration Of the Pompeian house Of
Boscoreale and to the magnificent

so "impressionistic that they explain

water: that armored men, sword bear

punched upon other ships; that they
had grappling-hooks to attach them to
other galleys, and huge cranes by
which Jumps of stone or crab-shaped
forgings of metal could be hoisted high
to drop through the bottoms of con-
tending craft.
The prevailing type of galley was
the trireme, fitted with three banks
of oars. Quinqueremes, or vessels
whit five banks arranged the one over
the other, were not unusual, but the
extra banks added little power, as any
yachting sharp of today can easily see.
The upper oars had to be too long and
unwieldy.
But it must not be supposed that a
trireme was three story boat.
Each bank of oars was at the most
not more than three feet above that
below, as the rowers were arranged
vehtically zen echelon," so to speak
so that the seat of a man on the sec.
ond bank came about over the toes OF
a man on No. /. And the whole inside
of the galley was a skeleton of open
timber construction, so that the slave
drivers running up and down the plat
form in the middle of the ship could
touch up the laggards with their Ions
whips. galley was nearly helpless
in heavy weather, when all the lowe
ports had to be closed and the SCI
would play with the upper banks o
oars at its will.
Yet rowing vessels fought side b
side with sailing ships up to the Revc
luton and even in the war of ISL.
