FUTURE NEW YORK.
Ocean Steamships Will Probably Dock

Ocean Steamships Will Probably Dock
on Long Island.
The docks around Manhattan island
will presently be unable to accommo-
date the enormous shipping that enters
the port of New York, and plans for the
construction Of docks on Long Island
are already under way. First in i'm
portance of the seriously considered
improvements, says the New Broadway
Magazine in a Splendidly illustrated
article on 1.-The Greatest Port in the
World" is Jamaica Bay, east of Coney,
on Long Island, six hours nearer New
York than any other available point
outside the immediate harbOr The
to sea is shorter and more direct and
more than enough time is thereby saved
to make the train trip to Manhattan in
considerable. Improved railroad facil-
ities by tunnels under the city and riv-
erS, and the tremendous railroad devel-
opment of western Long Island, already
under way; make Jamaica bay as near
the centre of the city as South Brooklyn
or Jersey. BY these improved facilities
passengers and freight can be carried
directly through or about the city to or
from any portion of the North Ameri-
can continent. Twenty years from now
the tourist to Europe may cross the
continent and never leave his car until
the train draws up on a Jamaica bay
dock. The saving of time in mails is
of even greater importance to the COM
mercial world. With four-day boats,
daily mails and quick transmission
through the pOstOffice, the time now
taken for letter mailed in London to
a New York address will be reduced
One-half
A year ago Mayor Mcclellan, CO.
operating with business organizations
of the city, appointed a commission to
examine the feasibility of the Jamaica
bay project and to suggest plans for its
realization. The Jamaica Bay Improve
ment commission has recommended the
purchase of 5000 acres of shore land
around the bay at a cost Of $36,000,00O,
draining and walling at a cost of $27,-
100000, and then spending $5O,OO0,OOO
more for buildings and docks.

~ A Scotch laddie delivering milk
was stopped the other day on his
rounds by two police officers, who ask
ed him if his employer ever put any
thing in the milk. "Oh, ay," was the
innocent answer. The officers thinking
they had a clear case of adulteration'
offered the boy sixpence If he Woulo
tell them what was put in 1t. An
said the boy, with a grin, we wadna
gie's the saxpence though l telrt we.
"Oh. yes. we WILL" said the officers.
"Gie's it then" said the little fellow
The sixpence was duly handed over
with the question, Now what does
your employer put in his milk?
Why" said the boy. with cunning
look, "he puts the measure in every
time he talks ony oot!"

A Sad Mistake.

Mrs. Foster was from New England.
and regarded life very seriously. never
Sinking or turning back from the path
Of duty which lay before her. but she
never realized that French was at all
necessary until she visited Paris. Then
she had to rely on phrasebook, which
relieved her mind of all care. but
greatly exercised the mental powers OF
the natives with whom she came in
contact. Her nephew, who was study
ing art in the French capital, secured
for her an invitation to a reception Civ
en- by a famous French artist. Mrs.
Foster went, accompanied by her neph-
ew (and the phrasebook. She thought
she knew just where to open it and
read her lines. She was introduced In
French to the artist. He spoke IN
French, her nephew replied in French
until the dear old lady got beWildered'
But she felt that she must say some
thing, so she opened the inevitable
book and read off the first sentence
which met her eye, giving 1t the true
New Hampshire twang. The artist
smiled sweetly, her nephew also smiled
sweetly. AS Mrs. Foster saw the transla-
tion in italics after the sentence, she
nearly tainted. AS her nephew led her
away, however, he congratulated her
upon her introduction and her knowl-
edge of the language.
But, Henry" cried his Mortified aunt
did you hear what l said? l asked
him how soon could we get something
to eat-that's what I asked HMM

Her nephew smiled; he would have
liked to laugh. oh" he replied. Did
you? Well, auntie, it doesn't matter
for he asked me what in thunder you
said, and I told him didn't know"

Don't you gee;
Then Samuel said one OF the great
est things to be found in the whole
Bible. First he asked a question which
no one can answer. What does God
like most? 1t is not doing things
which people think ought to be ac-
ceptable to God. II is. instead, doing
the thing which is acceptable to God.
Samuel's declaration about obed-
fence should be committed to memory
by every Christian and by every Sun
day school scholar. TO obey is better
than sacrifice" No offering equals
that
Rebellion is like witchcrait Stub

saying all sin is heinous in the sight OF
