Vindication of Joan of Arc.

1.-THE whirligig of time hath his re
venges." But sometimes they are slow.
They have been slow in the case of Joan
of Arc the Maid of Orleans, who, after
leading the army of France to victory
and saving her country from foreign
foe, was burned as witch, with the
cowardly consent of her countrymen.
The tragedy and outrage occurred at
Rouen. May 80. 1881. Last Sunday,
in the hall of the Consistory of the Vatl-
can at Rome, the supreme Pontln pre-
siding, Cardinal Parocci read decree OF
beatification which places the name OF
Joan of Arc on the roll of the blessed
and it is expected that her canon1zatlon

A Significant Reversal of Conditions.

The Interesting fact is published along
the lakes that the Inland Navigation
Company Of Hamilton, Ontario, has
closed a contract with the Great Lakes
Engineering works at Detroit for the
construction of a bulk freighter with q
carrying capacity of from 5000 to 950t
tons. The Inland Navigation Company
fleet is to Canada what the lake fleet Of
the United States Steel Corporation is
tOfore secured all of its tonnage from
British shipyards across the sea, this
departure is quite interesting, and will
cause considerable discussion amid
"baccy" smoke among lake mariners III
winter quarters.
The new boat will be an American
bottom and will fly the American flag
She will not be able to carry freight
between two Canadian ports, but she
can carry freight between two ports in
the United States or between a port in
the United States and one in Canada, or
visa versa. She will carry iron ore from
Lake Superior ports in the United States
to Point Edward, just above Sarina. ano
will also carry grain from Fort William
in Canada, to Buffalo. This will give
her range enough for special service, and
leave the carrying between Canadian
ports to the British-bLilt craft of the In
land Navigation Company.
The reason for this departure by a
Canadian corporation is interesting. The
company claims that it is ''held up" by
the Canadian government, which compels
it to pay a duty of % per cent. on re
pairs made in American yards AS the
lake shipbuilding business of the Demon,
ion is concentrated at one yard
in Collingwood. this means practical
ly that the Canadian owners must go to
that port and submit to delay and to the
charges of monopoly which is not able
to do work with the promptness demand
ed by the exigencies Of lake service. The
Collingwood builders cannot produce new
ships with the rapidity that character
ICES building on the American side, be-
cause the American builders have prac--
tically standardized their business, and
now enjoy the advantage which enables
British builders on the ocean to underbld
American yards and surpass them III
rapidity of construction.
This reversal of conditions on the Great
Lakes is an object lesson for Congress
men who are wrestling with the complex
question of aiding the American mer-
chant marine. The lake carrier and build
err are protected by statute and by geo.
graphical conditions, and they have all
foreign competitors beaten.

Oregon contains an area almost as

The government of Natal has returned
to the use of creosoted ties for its rail-

wood for ten years. The former are
found to be more easily handled and to

may be used but once.

Rats Cold Weather Retreat.

Many animals snuggle together for
warmth in bitter weather as the squir-
rels and the rats. Those who go rafting
in hedges and dells in the winter know
they may try dozen freshly used bur-
rows without finding a rat-when sud
denly from a single hole the rats will
come pouring out in a stream of frenzied
fury. Twenty or more rats will lie to-
gether in one hole. They are clever
enough to block up a hole on the wind
ward side-to keep out the draught-so
that when rat hole is noted newly
stopped with soil, turnip leaves or grass
there is almost certain indication that
rats are within. Like the squirrels they
store food for winter-and the keeper
may find it more difficult to secure his
potatoes from frost than from the at
tack of the most numerous of his fuvred
foes.-London Standard

Near-Owes Recovery to Cuticura.
"My son Clyde was almost COM
pletely covered with eczema. Physi-
clans treated him for nearly a year
without helping him any. His head,
face and neck were covered with large
scabs which he would rub until they
fell off. Then blood and matter would
run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that if
he got well he would be disfgured for
life. When it seemed as if he could
possibly stand it no longer, used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent. That
was the first night for nearly a year
that he slept. In the morning there
was great change for the better. In
about six weeks he was perfectly well.

Inouirinq Into the Exchanges.

The names of the men selected by Gov.
Hughes of New York for membership
in the committee which he has charged
with the responsibility of investigating
conditions and methods in the securities
markets are guarantee, apparently,
that the work will be performed with
intelligence and with serious purpose. :.
Some of the developments in Wall
street manipulation and New York high
finance during the past few years nave
seemed to call for investigation and pos
sibly for stringent regulation. On the
other hand. it easily might be possible
to NEEDLE in such way as to do more
harm than good.
Stock Exchange influences are sad 70
welcome the inquiry and the likelihood
of legal restrictions on transactions OF
doubtful character, in the hope that these
things will tend to rehabilitate the eX-
change in the minds of the public. 1t
has suffered greatly in prestige during
the past three years.
In the interviews on the subject when
have been reported by the New York
newspapers is one containing the follow
ing remarks attributed to a former presl-
dent of the New York Stock Exchange:
When a mans record is soiled in England
and he has proved himself to be unreliable.
he is read out of the circle. What we need
on this side is to raise the moral standard
of the Stock Exchange so high that when a
man proves himself unworthy no other
member vii have anything to do with him
he will be ostracised. The Stock Exchan ,s
has no control over the curb market, but
the Stock Exchange ought not to permit
any dealings in curb securities among its
members If the stock is not good enough
for the Stock Exchange it ought not to be
traded in at all. They don't list securities
unless they make an investigation. They
practically say that the property is there
and that the security is worth being put
upon the list
The legitimate functions of stock ex-
changes are necessary to the transaction
of modern business. A stock exchange
is not primarily nor necessarily identi-
fed with gambling, though it deals with
values at times peculiarly subject to
f,uctuation. 1t is identified with specu-
lation. and wild speculation often de-
generates into gambling and sometimes
Is connected with deliberate over-reach-
ing and deception. What goes on upon
the stock exchange depends upon the
character of the members. More rigid
insistence upon the good moral character
of its members would naturally tend to
lift the character of the exchange.

Jack London.
Jack London, the writer, was talking
in San Francisco about the desertion of
his crew. Mr.. London, as all the world
knows, is circling the world in a small
boat, and his crew deserted at Honolulu
on account of the dizziness of the life.
''They are greatly bored" said Mr..
London ''They had a look of ennui all
the time. What did they expect? They
acted as if they expected a periodical
shipwreck, periodical onslaught of can
nibals. periodical rescue of some fair
girl from pirates. They were rather
like man named Samson whom I once
knew.
