There are two main reasons why
the United States has so few mer-
chant vessels. First, they are not
much needed. Foreign vessels bring
in all the imports the people are able
to buy and carry off exports of raw
material. If the contracts of carry
ing the foreign mails were given to
foreign steamers, the government
would save one-third of the expense
entailed. The other reason is, that
all ship-building material-lumber,
steel, lead, oil, etc,-is under con-
troll Of trusts who demand so much
for it that ships can be bought in
foreign markets at about two-thirds
of what they cost to be built at home

Gladstone, one Of England's wisest
statesmen, said that the trade and
wealth of the world between the
years 1900 and 1870 doubled that

being true, it is easy to reckon that
the trade and wealth since 1870 has
increased in pretty rapid progress
sion.
This is owing to natural results

the rapid and ready means by which

and the most important import of the
leading countries of Europe.
The Southern States raise nearly

OF this Europe and Japan get be-

The manufacturers Of New England

means of their ingenuity in fixing

the tariff in being allowed to fix their

I started out with the statement
that it is the general policy of the
Europeans and Japs to retain the
natural products of their own cOun-
tries and the territories that they
control-also to collect all raw ma
terial in which there is any profit,
manufacture these at home and ex-
port the finished products abroad.
Some of those countries, with the
fewest possible natural advantages,
have by enterprise and business
sense put themselves in pretty fair
shape. They have had the half-civil-
lied sections of the world and the
pine forests and cotton fields of the
South to draw upon, and they do not
want anything better. If any of
them owned territory where they
would have exclusive control of the
growth of cotton, not many bales
of it would find their way to any but
their own factories. They would sell
the balance of the world cotton goods.

JUGGLING NAMES IN KANSAS.
Ruling of Attorney General Out There
of Interest to the Married.

The attorney general of Kansas has
raised a question of some social interest
by rendering an opinion that a married
woman does not have to take the name
of her husband unless she chooses, that
a husband may take the name of his wife
if he sees fit, or that both may change
their names without even resorting to
the courts or the legislature In short,
says the Indianapolis News, he holds that
the whole matter is regulated by custom
and not by law. The change of name
on marriage, like the change of title from
Miss to Mrs, has come about through
custom and convenience The words
Miss and Mrs. are both authorizations
of mistress" which originally was APP
piled indiscriminately to a married or an
unmarried woman. The distinction be-
tween Miss and Mrs. is of comparatively
modern origin. AS for the change of
name at marriage, in some states the
courts have held that a married woman
may continue to employ her maiden name
in business if she wishes to do so. with
out mourning any moral or legal censure.

persistently young man, handsome of Wis
age, pleasant and entirely unaffected of
speech.
He was for some time secretary of the

of his services to geography in the Ant
arctic regions Between the conclusion
of the Discovery expedition and his as
sumption of his duties in Edinburgh he
was attached to the literary staff of G.

capacity as a journalist made himself de-

According to The Bystander, preju-

against the pastime of walking. He
would invariably drive up and to away
from his literary duties in a brougham.

Those in Portugal Have Been Cut Up

The Portuguese are an extremely con-

rigidly the methods employed by his fa-
Their and forefathers. In very many
parts of the country the old wooden
plOughs are still used
When a man dies instead of one of
the heirs taking the whole property and
paying the remaining heirs for their
parts the whole property is divided into
as many parts as there are heirs. More
than this, each separate part of the
property is thus divided.
Thus if Il property consisted of ten
acres of pasture land, eighty of vine
yard and ten of grain land, and there
were ten heirs, each heir would receive
one acre each of grain and pasture land
and eight acres of vineyard This proc
esS has been going on for a very long
time, so that now in the most fertile
part of Portugal tie land is divided into
incredibly small portions.
The immediate result of this, accord
ing to the United States Consular Re
ports. is that the product of the land is
barely sufficient at best to sustain its
owners. South of the River Tagus, on
the other hand. there are enormous
tracts of excellent land lying unused, but

In this electrical day one hears and
reads a great deal about short circuits"
without having the slightest idea of what
the expression means. The short cir
cult" said one of the general electric
engineers, means simply that wires have
become crossed or connected so as to
form q by-path or shunt of comparative
ly low resistance through which so much
of the electrical current passes as prac-
tically to cut out that part of the circuit
through which the current originally
flowed. In other words short circuit"
has replaced the normal circuit which
may be considered as u long circuit. The
cutting out of the resistance of the long
line permits the power to rush over this
path of low resistance and if the APP
paratus was not protected by the circuit
breaker, the electrical machinery would
do itself serious harm. To prevent Sc
rious effect from accidental short circuits
of electric lighting wires in buildings Il
fuse is inserted in the circuit just in
side the building. In case a nail or some
other falling object Short-circ9its the
electric wires in the house this fuse"
blows ont; =. =. n:2!ts out. and throws
the circuit open 50 no electricity can
flow through the wires in the house I'M
