have aroused a new and keener interest
in themselves on the part, not only of
the naval authorities of the world, but

Joy and pride of the young commander

Very soon you get into tho open sea,
rushing past webbing lightships and
slow-going craft which you overhaul so
quickly that they appear to lie inert

From time to time wave slaps heavi-
ly against the bow. and you feel the
shiver of it throughout the ships frail
length. A destroyer is flexible in her
construction, and is built to "give" to
the seas. After all, she is simply thin
skin of steel on a light framework, and
sometimes you can see her ribs Show

of lean, sinewy and enduring runner.

the present crisis a sharp lesson in ia

latent cotton-growing resources of the
empire been developed the crisis in the
cotton Industry could not have occurred.
Government officials point to the fact
that cotton Of good quality has been
grown for centuries in West Africa,
Cotton, too, of a promising quality ha.
been coming from the Soudan in small
quantities; but Lancashire, satisfied
with the American supply, and failing

When the manufacturers Of Lancashire
found themselves face to face with the

admirable courage and energy. They
Instituted general short time-that IL
to say, it was agreed that the mills, in
stead of working 81 hours,a week, should
only work for 48 hours. Recently it has
been decided to still further reduce the
working hours to 40. The object of this
reduction was to reduce the demand TO,
the raw article and prevent the price
from rising beyond a certain point
Had manufacture proceeded at the or.
binary rate the price of cotton would
have risen to such point that manu-.
facturers would have been unable to
sell their products at profit, and f1nan-

Lancashire. Moreover, the reductions

SWEDEN.

The movement started few weeks
ago for organizing the farm laborers
of southern Sweden into labor unions
is hailed with delight by the old abor
unions in the cities, and the latter have
raised thousands of dollars to encour-
age the movement. If the land owners
fail to make substantial concessions,
their employees may join the social
democratic party en- masse. So far
there is no uniformity of action among
the land owners, some of them yield
ing on this point, others on that, and
some not yielding at all.
Some space has already been devoted
to the new textbook which Prof. Jo-
hansfon of Lund is going to write for
the religious instruction in the public
schools of Sweden. But the subject is
of such Importance that we do not hes
itate to return to it whenever a new
phase of it is discussed in the Swedish
press. Prof. Johansson, in his closing
lecture on the catechism at the Lund
summer school, laid great stress on
the Importance of making the necessity
of a virtuous life very prominent in
the new book. This indicates that the
purely emotional side of Christians
life will not appear to be of secondary
moment in the new book. The author
does not expect his book to crowd out
Luther's catechism, but he wants it to
be used as religious primer. He has
not stated what form his discourse will
take; but it is supposed that nara
tives will take the place of the ques-
tons and answers of the ordinary
catechism.

For the rest, the deck runs flush from
the forecastle, the levelness being
broken up, however, by the low, huge
ventilators, the two torpedo tubes, one
behind the other, amidships, where
they command wide range of action,
and the after gun platform. In these
tubes couple of torpedoes are slowed,

fatal Together with some neighbors
he was preparing to go hunting and

out the pitchfork and then jumped out
of the wagon. In some way the tines
were upturned and in jumping out of
the wagon Smith landed on the fork,
the tines entering his body full
length, taking two men to extract the
fork.
The chances are favorable for his re-

Lumber Shipments.

Shipments of lumber out of Lake

they have been 493, 1874, 200. This is in
comparison with 1872, 443, 900 and 576,-
$4,000 for the corresponding periods of
last year. The decrease is due entire
ly to the later opening of navigation,
for since business commenced in 1904
it has been it has been greater than for
the same period in 1908. Shipments
are going along rapidly from all ports
and will make up good deal of the
losses of the early part of the year, but

as high About four-ninths of ship
ments off the lake are from Duluth and
