and tull OF enthusiasm say at the age of eigh-
teen or twenty. They have to pass examina-
tons proving that they are well educated
but more than that, they have to be tested in
more than merely the academic arts. They
are first accepted on probation-receive a
barely sufficient salary and are sent to live
among the natives and learn the language and
local customs of the people whom they may in
time be called upon to rule or advise.
After two or three years of this elementary
work they promoted, and their salary in
creases rapidly. This salary is assured during
good behavior, and they know furthermore
that after certain period of honorable service
they will be allowed to retire on a pension
which will permit them to close their declining
years free from want.
This sounds SO simple that we may say in
stinctively, OF course that is business! Why
don't we do the same thing'" Well, no doubt
we shall succeed in time, and meanwhile it is
the duty of every American who travels to the
ends of the earth to study the various systems
of colonial civil service and discuss them pub
lcly
Empires do not grow of themselves; Empires
are the work of Empire builders, and Empire
builders should be in the service of our Govern
ment no less than in the pay of private cor
poratlons. Rome ceased to live as an Empire
when she ceased to produce Empire builders
Portugal and Spain no longer send forth the
men they did when Camoens sang his Lusiad "
and Las Casas pleaded for his natives at the
court of Madrid
1t is not boasting to say that to-day the
great Empire whose speech is English and
whose organic law is founded on civil liberty
and local self government, is the only Empire
that produces the Empire builder par excel
lence.
This is not the place to cavi as to whether
his birthplace is Montreal or Melbourne, Cape

thing. 1t is an impossible condition. he
added. " Sooner than submit to it | would
leave and never see Grace again.
Ralston rose with a weary gesture and
motioned the two, who stood breathlessly
watching him, to chairs.
Il think" he said presently in his calm,
Unconditional voice, that you both take rather
a too serious view of the matter. | may be
able to convince you of that. Besides, should
like you to know why | think it necessary to
ask it. In order to do that shall have to tell
you story. 1t is the story of a woman who
has suffered much and of the man who caused
that suffering.
You will have guessed, from my description
of them both SO unhappy, that the man and
woman were married. That is SO. When they
were married, l believe they cared for each
other. | know, at least, that the man loved
the woman deeply. For a time they were very
happy; and then-well, Dick, the man had
had such an affair as you have had. 1t was,
too, as innocent as yours; but he had not had
the wisdom to do what l have asked of YOU
The woman sent for him. and his wife learned
OF it. She did not tax him with unfaithfuness
she was too proud for that-but her love for
him died; and he, caring for her, yet proud
could not vindicate himself from charge that
had never been made. He fulfilled his pledge
and helped the other woman all he could, and

ing" and then he went back to the home
whose happiness he had wrecked-though
God knows he had done it innocently enough
And since that time, although his wife has
never reproached him, he has been-well,
scarcely happy. | should not care to have
Grace and Dick know the pain of such life -
He paused And nothing will make YOU
alter that condition." asked his wife at last
-" know of nothing that WILL he returned
:" think | do she replied. Her dark eyes
were bright and shining. 1t had been long
since either of them had seen such an express
sion there. Dick" she said, you know the
way to the music room. Go and find Grace
there, and happiness"
He withdrew without word.
Then she turned toward her husband. 'Tohn, -
she said, q if the woman should come to you
and say that she releases him-releases him
gladly, because of new faith and a new hope
that has been born in her heart, would YOU
give your CONSENT"
YES" he answered.
She crossed the room and stood close to him.
She has done so, John" she said.
For an instant he did not answer her, but
stood looking her through and through. Then
there came the crash of a suddenly arrested
air from the piano. 1t told the two that Dick
had entered the music room. Then Ralston
extended his arms, and she came forward
with little sigh of happiness.

faithfully among the Beers when help of this
kind was needed and appreciated.
In South Africa as in New Guinea the Ger
man officials find a great obstacle to their
colonial aScendancy in the sympathy of the
South African native for Our language, and a
corresponding dislike for the tongue of the
Teuton.
And after all, can you blame the simple
savage, who at home speaks in monosyllables,
if he grows rebellious when called upon to
carry letter addressed to the kdiserFriedrfch-
" ilhelmderGroSse.Strasse? The bewildered mes
senger may possibly succeed in this errand,
but such piece of cacophony will leave a
sting in his linguistic stomach. He will think
lovingly tof those simple names in the English
settlement: Highest, Pitt-st., Oueen-st.
There are some of us who know some German
and yet resent pronouncing the unabbreviated
names of the latter day boats of the German
steamship lines, much we love those lines
in the abstract. Think, then, what the feel
ing must be in the breast of a kafir whose
vocabulary has been only in the nature of Do,
Re, Mi, Fa etc.
Up on the head waters of the Brun River in
Northern Borneo l met last year a young
Scotchman apparently doing nothing but rest
ing himself after an arduouS spell of duty in
the Government offices at Singapore. He was
at this place wholly without official authority,
a youngster in years; and yet, such was the
moral ascendancy of the tongue he repre-
sented, that the natives came to him unceas-
lngly as to a law giver and adviser The Sui
tan, who has since died at the age of eighty
three, treated him as friend, and in no in
stance was his advice treated with neglect He
was simply a clean, straightforward white man
whom money could not purchase nor physical
violence intinidate. And there are many
such to-day; but they rarely known out
side of their chosen sphere.
You ask one of these young Empire builders
how he got his job, what is the secret of his
success. The answer is nearly always the same.
They begin as youngsters. They are carefully
selected by agencies free from any political
bias. They enter the public service young

weather that he feared would follow sneeze.
The sailors conviction that a ships bell will
toll, however firmly dashed, when the doomed
vessel sinks beneath the waves, is poetical, if
not well founded.
The origin of the belief of the efficacy of
whistling to raise the wind is unknown, but
the belief itself is wide spread and has been
held in all lands. 1t used to be said that care
must be taken to whistle at the right moment
If it is done in calm pleasant breeze will
come, but if done when there is already wind
it will arouse hurricane.
1t is a matter of common knowledge that
sailors pay great attention to the presence of
the birds known as petrels, or Mother Carey s
chickens" 1t is probably because of the
extreme sensitveness of sea birds to weather,
their mysterious presence far from land, and
their supposed communion with angels, that
they exercise SO great an attraction for Jacks
imagination. Prophecies of fair or foul
weather are founded on the birds movements.

depends for its strength, not on solid fact, but
upon the imaginative beliefs handed down in
his own calling and accepted without question
from generation to generation. In other words,
the sailor is the most superstitious of men.
Why seafaring man should hate and dread
a cat is not very evident; but nautical tradition
is against the feline and the jack tar will have
none on board. Any sailor will tell you that to
ship a cat is a sure way to prepare the vessel
for full share of disastrous gales.
There is curious amount of collateral evil
dence to show how sailors object to cats. To
those things which are most distasteful to him
the mariner applies the name of the animal he
dislikes. Weak tea is unpalatable; so he
styles it cat lap A short sleep is unsatisfactory,
insufficient to move the ship is a cats paw
greater amount of breeze is a cats skin.
In days of old sailors had great veneration
for odd numbers, belief still traceable in the
number of guns fired for salutes. Sneezing to

PARENTS AND CHILDREN.

The other day little Douglas boy put lighted firecracker in his mouth and held it there until it exploded. No other injury resulted than mouthful of burned powder and paper, and a badly scared and we'll spanked boy. That he escaped more serious conse- uuences of his rash act is remarkable We have heard it said that there is special providence that looks out for fools and children. We are always glad when children are not made to suffer, but our sympathy does not al ways extend to the former. When a grown man SO far forgets as to throw lighted crackers at a crowd of children, he belongs in the fool class and should be dealt with.
 A few years ago a little deaf and dumb boy in Douglas lost his eyesight, from the effects of firecracker thrown on the street by some thoughtless person. When we think of that poor child's condition, we are led to believe that it would be better to abandon fire crackers as a means of celebrating. Especially should little children be kept away from them.
 Fourth of July celebrations always leave behind a chapter of accidents. It may be that some of the little bright eyes that are today so full of fun, will be destroyed and the beautiful little soul shut out forever from the light of day. It will then be too late for any thing but vain regrets. Don't put dan ger in the path of the children by giy- ing them explosives to play with.

DOLPHIN cARRLEs THE BROOM.

l DOLPHIN CARRIES THE BhOOM.
 The Alaska Steamship Company's liner, the Dolphin, now carries the broom over all the Southeastern Alaska fleet, she having made the run from Port Townsend to the Douglas wharf in exactly 63 hours and 19 minutes.
 The Str. City of Seattle left Town send at 1 o'clock, a. m., on June lst. The Dolphin left Townsend at 1:36 p. m. of the same day and sighted the Se- attle coming out from Vancouver and we'll in the lead. It was then nip and tuck between the two flyers clear up to Queen Charlotte Sound. In passing Egg Island the boats were on opposite sides of the Island and out of sight of each other. Here the Dolphin made q spurt and gained the lead, which she continued to increase. She arrived at Ketchikan ? hours and 30 minutes ahead of the Seattle. The Dolphin lay 21% hours at Ketchikan and pulled out just as the Seattle was coming in. The Dolphin arrived at Douglas at 4:55 am. on June 4th. The Seattle arrived at 2:20 p. m. the same day.
 The Dolphin has always been pop ular boat with the travelling public, and will now be much more so. Her increased speed is no doubt due to the new Babcock & Wilcox boilers that have been recently installed. Other improvements have also been made. For the comfort of patrons the state rooms have been removed from the din- ing room, which has been remodeled and enlarged very much after the plan of the Jefferson. Another very import ant feature is the change in the state rooms, many of which have been made over from three-berth to two-berth rooms. The berths are wide and com fortable. Alaskans contemplating a trip will do we'll to try the Dolphin.
