THE AMAZON RIVER.

Editor Of the Times Dispatch:
SIR,-Please answer through your
query and answer column the question
ss TO whether or not the water of tht
Amazon river is fresh several miles out
In the ocean, and ohlige
A SUBSCRIBER.
The river Amazon is the largest
river of the globe in volume, and
probably in area of territory drained
The Mississippi, by its main tributary,
the Missouri, is longer by about 800
miles. The Amazon is ten miles
wide at thirty-five miles above its
main mouth, at Para, where it is 3l2
feet in depth. $50 vast is the vol.
ume of water which it pours into the
the Atlantic, and so great the vic.
lence of its current, that its waters
are said to remain unmixed with
those OF the ocean for distance OF
more than 400 miles from the coast y
River water is lighter than ses
water and must rise as it progresses
seaward, if it does not mingle; il
must spread, fan-like, with decreas-
ing depth, and be very thin at zoo
miles from Para, though many miles
in width.
This phenomena of fresh waite,
stream flowing through sea water il
seen at the mouth of the Mississippi
for miles out in the Gulf of Mexico,
marked by the sediment the fresh
water causes.

A STORY'FOR BOYS.

A New York boy spied a kitten
perched on the ledge of third story
window. Somebody had lowered the
window and shut the poor thing on
the outside. The boy climbed up
the awning post and rescued the kit
ten. Then he became hero and
the envy of every boy III the neigh
borhood.
1t was brave act and the lad de-
serves praise for his kindness and
heroism. But let all our Youthful
readers understand that boy need
not risk his life in order to be kind
to dumb animals. 1t is far better
to be good and kind to all animals
he comes IN contact with every day
In the year than it is to rescue one
kitten. Don't you think SO, boys?
Again, it would he q noble thing
Tor boy to risk his life to rescue
his little sister, or his little brother,
or his dear mother from burning
building. But We think it is nobler
for boy to be gentle and loving
with sister or brother and mother
every day In the year, and do all that
ne can for their comfort and happi-
ness and improvement. Spasmodio
Kindness is well enough as far as it
goes. But it is all-the-year kindness
that counts. BE good to all the cats
and all the dumb beasts of whatever
kind, and be good to all human
beings. In that way you will be II
hero every day of your Times
Dispatch.

GOV. MoNTAGUE,s SPEECH.

"a correspondent of the New Yor
EUening Nail who was travelin
with the Ogden party writes hi
paper In reference to Governor Mon
tague's speech at the Hampton In
stltute, as follows:
"Goveruor Montague made
speech there, in which he declare,
that he was in favor not only O.
educating the negroes, but of lettin,
them vote. He wants universal suf
frage and universal education. HI,
wants education 'democratized' ano
says that Hampton Institute is doius
more to accomplish that than any
other school, white or black. He
made Presidents phrase about the
door of hope his own, and declared
that he would not shut that door
against any man. He declared that
all the great nations that have
founded on the seas Of time have
gone down because they had people
whom they oppressed and then Mr..
Chamberlain says:
"'Did he mean it? | notice that
all the Virginia papers today seem
to have suppressed these extremely
progressive remar ks of the Governor. .'''
In referring to the above the Nor
folk Landmark says:
I'VE were not present at the Hamp-
ton ceremonies, but we venture TO
say that the correspondent of the
New York EUening Nail has done
Governor Montague an Injustice.
We do not believe that the Governor
put the case in the way in which he
is represented as having put it. Mr..
Montague is not foolish man bv
any means, as Judged by his political
record. lie has a well-established
reputation for discretion. He has
often proclaimed his devotion to the
principle of universal education, but
that does not mean that he fayors
making all education of the same
kind, or that he breaches universal
suffrage"
Our Norfolk contemporary seems
to go too far from home for the news.
Very full and good reports of these
speeches were printed by staff rep
resentative of the morning paper
here, and the report in the Mail is
exactly correct, or at least the same
as was printed here. Governor Mon
tague's epigram was "Universal edu-
cation means universal suffrage" and
be then proceeded to declare that he
would not shut the door of hope "not
even to the Presidency" on ANYBODY,
which sentiment was loudly cheered
by the evangels of light who were
touring the South to dispel the gloom
OF illlteracy, and re-echoed by the
negro boys.
The declarations above mentioned
formed the basis of an editorial OBJ
servation in this paper at the time.
Our contemporary should read the
Newport News papers. ."-Netcport

MORBUS SABBATICUS.

MOrbus Sabbaticus, or Sunday sick
ness, disease peculiar to church
members. The attack comes on sud
denly on every Sunday; no symptoms
are felt on Saturday night. The
patient sleeps well and wakes feeling
we'll; eats hearty breakfast, but
about church time the attack comes
on and continues until services are
over for the morning. Then the
patient feels easy and eats hearty
dinner. In the afternoon he feels
much better and is able to take a
walk, talk about politics, and read
the Sunday papers. He eats hearty
supper, but about church time he
has another attack and stays at thome.
He retires early, sleeps well, and
wakes up Monday morning refreshed
and able to go to work, and does not
have any symptoms of the disease
until the following Sunday. The
peculiar features are as follows:
l. Italways attacks members of the
church.
2. 1t never makes its appearance
except on the Sabbath.
3. The symptoms vary. but it never
interferes with the sleep or appetite.
4. 1t never lasts more than twenty
four hours.
5. 1t generally attacks the head of
the family.
6. No physician is ever called.
Z. 1t always proves fatal in the end
Ito the soul.
s. No remedy is known for 1t ex-
cept prayer.
8. Religion is the only antidote.
10. 1t ls becoming fear fully preva-
lent and is sweeping thousands every
year prematurely to destruction.
UNRAILING REMEDY Foa SUNDAY
SICKNESS.
On Sunday morning. rise at six;
use plenty of cold water on the face;
eat a PLAIN, hearty breakfast. Then
mix up and take internally dose
composed of equal parts of the follow
ing ingredients, namely: VIII, De-
termination, Respect for Gods Book,
Push, Self-respect. Respect for Gods

benefcial.-Sunday School Times.

Our Beautiful Language.

A boy who swims may say he's
swum, but milk is skinned and
seldom scum, and nails you trim,
they are not trum.
When words you speak, these
words are spoken, but a nose is
tweaked, and can't be twoken, and
what you seek is never soken.
If We forget, then we've forgotten,
but things we wet are never wotten,
and houses let cannot be lotten.
The goods one sells are always sold,

nor what you smell is never smoled.

OF Moravsky's battery, took up the

The quick firing pieces discharged
about $4,000 bullets.
The Twelfth Regiment cut its

TO MT. VERNON SUNDAY SCHOOL

We, the committee appointed to draft
resolutions in memory of our beloved
brother, Austin Morris, beg leave to re-
port the following:
Brother Austin Morris, q member and
trustee of Mt. t.Vernon Baptist church, aud
a teacher in the first Bible class of the
Sunday school, departed this life March
3Oth, 1904. Life is uncertain, death is
sure-"Here we have no continuing City,
but we seek one to come" Men, like time,
are passing out Of their mortal existence
to the God who created all things. He
calls them from fields of activity and
labor to a world of bliss and reward.
Were be still among us, face to face, it
were better to say in words Of another,
LET us no more contend nor blame each
other, but strive In offices of love TO
tighten each others burden in our share
of woe." Error and frailty are parts of
the life of men. If this were not so, earth
would be Heaven, for what could be
added to the happiness of life free from
error or frailtyg The brother we mourn
was human, but the error and frailty
which belonged to him often took their
color from virtue itself.
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased our heavenly
Father TO remove from the stage of action
and responsibility cur brother and
co-worker in the Mt. Vernon Sunday
school and church 10 that Home Of eter.
nal bliss, where pain is felt no more; and,
whereas, this Sunday school has lost
a faithful and energetic worker, who
ever had its best interests at heart,
and the grief-strickeL. family have lost
their means Of support, the counsel
and parental care of a loving father.
Therefore be it resolved:
1st. That this school bow with humble
and reverent submission to Him who
doeth all things well, aud who is too wise
to err and too holy and merciful to be
unjust.
End. That we commend the bereaved
family TO Jesus who Is able 10 heal ali
wounds and soothe all sorrowing hearts.
Srd. That we spread upon the face of
the minutes copy of these resoiu-
tions In memory of our departed brother
and friend, Austin Morris.

to reach, as We were captured by the
Ohio Ringgold cavalry; they sent us
to Gen. Kelley's headquarters at
Fairview, Md, we were then ordered
to be put in an old school-house with
four guards placed over us. The
balance of the command marched on.
On the night of the 10Th we planned
to capture the guards, and about
12 o'clock our plans were executed.
Fearing they would report us, we
nailed them up and left them in the
school house. We soon found the
Potomac, but could not find a place
where We could ford. Five of us
swan the river, leaving Noyascotia,
and reached the Virginia shore about
day break. NovascotIa joined us in
the woods during the day. After
travelling three nights in the woods
we concluded we we're out Of the
range of the enemy, 80 on the morn
ing Of the 18th we marched out on
the main rpad. About l O'Clock we
were fired on by one of "Killdevils"
squadrons wounding three of Us. We
returned the fire, but found that they
out numbered us ten to one, 80 we
surrendered. We were taken to Cum
berland, Md, where We were charged
as being spies. We were then taken to
Camp Chase, Ohio, for trial and safe
keeping, which place we reached
July 27,.
Col. Webbers, who was in charge
of the prison, ordered our trial August
5th, but for some reason it was put
off until August 29th. All this time
we were handcuffed and chained to
the floor. We were tried and SEN
fenced to be shot September 29th.
/ asked for an interview with Col.
Webbers and it was granted. / asked
him to write to Gen. Kelley, of the
Ringgold cavalry, and ask him If we
were not prisoners of war.
On the 2Sth of September Col.
Webbers, two other officers and six
privates entered OR prison room. We
thought our time had come, but you
can imagine our surprise aud delight
when We were told we were to be
freed. WM. Ii. WILSON.

THE COssACK OF THE SEA-

If anything happens it is because
something else happened before it.
If house tumbles down it is because
something in the house broke or an
earthquake shook it down or the wind
blew it over. If boy becomes a
great man it does not happen by
chance. Something took place. The
boy who becomes . great man has
had great deal to do with it himself.
One of the things which helped him
was his willingness to work hard.
Another was seeing things that
needed to be done. Still another was
doing them better than any one else
could do them.
The other day a great Russian
battleship-a vessel with tremen-
dously long name, Petropavolovsk-
went down over at Port Arthur, W here
the Russians and Japs are fighting.
Tens, hundreds of sailors sank to
the bottom in that great vessel.
Thsre was one man among the hun
dreds who were drowned whose loss
meant more to the czar than that of
all the Others. Stephen Osipoyich
Makaroff was his name, and he was
one of the czar's vice-admirals. All
the warships fighting with the Japs
moved as he directed.
Now, why was he of more account
to the czar than all the others who
died, and how did he make himself
SO! Doubtless by willingness to work
hard, seeing things that needed to be
done, and knowing how and doing
them better than any one else could
do them. The czar can find sailors
to fill the places of those VINO were
drowned, but he can find few men to
take the place of Vice-Admiral Maka-
rolf.
de was sometimes called the "Cos-
sack of the Sea-" because of his
daring. The Cossacks are Russian
soldiers who fight on horseback and
are unusually daring. Once when a
young officer he managed to blow up
a Turkish war vessel by going along
side 1T under the guns of the vessel i'm
the darkness and fastening torpedo
to the side. The czar wanted a man
who was not afraid 70 do things, and
ne promoted the "Cossack of the Sea"
rapidly.
Sometimes he was called the
Nansen of Russia. Nansen was a
great Arctic explorer. Makaroff
planned great boat, the Yen max,
which could break very thick ice. He
thought he might be able to reach
the North Pole in it, and twice he
did go to the Arctic Circle. The
Yermak is said to be the stoutest
boat in the world.
These are the reasons the car sent
him to Port Arthur and the reason
his death is greater loss to Russia
than whole shipful of plain, every
day sailors. E1chanqe.
