Press Comment
Profit in 8O- Cent Gas.
the Norfolk Virginia Pilot.

From the Norfolk Virginia-Pilot.
 The Boston Consolidated Gas com pany has been selling it's product at an s0eent rate for full year. few days ago it raised its dividend rate from to per cent per annum. This doesn't indicate that cheapening the cost to the consumer has decreased the profits of the company. Gas compan- ies in other cities might well ponder this showing, with view to initiating the example of the Boston concern.

ed to allow American ships carrying native ap- prentices. very important addition to our mercantile marine would thus be accomplished at once, and the reproach that an American cit izen cannot fly his own flag over his own yes sel when he buys it abroad wouldfbe removed.
 Of course, it is possible that extreme protec- tionists may not be altogether pleased with this approach to the free ship policy, but it is evi. dent from the recent history of subsidy legisa- ton that unless some such point is yielded in the contest the subsidy project will be as stub borny fought as it has been in the past Free ships is taking proposition and it will doubt less have weight with those western republi- cans who have so far been able to defeat sub sidy legislation, even of the milder sort contem- plating merely increasing ocean mail pay.

Private Forestry in Enaland.

Everywhere in England you see pri-
vate forests planted for profit. Eng
land first won her naval supremacy in
ships built of English oak trees which
were practically planted for the pur-
pose on private estates Public or
state forestry hardly exists in Eng
land. Here we commonly think that
forestry concerns the government
only. A few Americans will plant ca
talpa, locust, or some other tree crop
that natures in seven to fifteen years
but when the passion for enduring
things becomes a national trait with
US we will plant oaks and other spe-
cies that require a hundred years or
more to mature. Meanwhile, the bu-
reau of forestry at Washington has a
plan for cooperating with anyone who
has forest in which profit is the chief
consideration.-Gar Magazine.

STRONG TOMB RENT BY TREE.
Striking Instance of the Great Power
of Vegetation.

A correspondence calls attention to
q curious instance of the mechanical
power of vegetation in the out the
way churchyard of Tewin, in Hartford
shire.
A tree, which has been divided into
two or three main stems grows
straight out of the tomb of a noble
dame who departed this life over two
centuries ago, and has rent her gloomy
home into pieces. Strangest sight of
all, it has wrapped itself round the
iron railing which used to guard the
grave, and which is thus now almost
entirely concealed inside the tree.
People come from far and near to
see the wonderful sight: and to them
is told story that the quiet inhabi-
tant of this disrupted sepulcher was in
her day lady of very free thinking
opinions, and had said she would have
placed above her remains tomb that
no person could read.-The Scotsman.

Wearisone Words.

There is nothing tires one more than
words, when they clatter like a loose
window shaken by the winds. A talka-
tive fellow may be compared to an un-
braced drum, which beats wise man
out of his wits. Surely nature did not
guard the tongue with the double fence
of teeth and lips, without meaning that
it should not move too nimby. When
scholar full of words applied TO
Socrates for instruction, the latter de-
manded of him double fee! one to
teach him TO speak WE'LL another to
teach him to hole his peace.-Owen
Feltham.

PECULIAR APPEAL TO HEAVEN
Ceremonial Observed by Chinese
When Rain Is Desired.

Prayers for rain are a common fea-
ture of religious observance in China
and the attendant ceremonial some
times takes strange forms, A CORE
spondent of the North China Herald
reports cc.ious celebration which
recently took place in Chenyuan The
orthodox three days fast was pro
claimed, and The officials went TO the
temples TO present incense, while the
people organized a procession with a
plenitude of gongs and drums. AS the
processionists passed along the street
they We're drenched with water by the
residents, who had tubs in readiness.
But the great peculiarly of the occa-
sion was a dog. He was tied sitting up
in a common chair With AN old gar
ment round his shoulders and an old
big man S hat on his head. He got
a double share of the water along the
route and seemed to have entirely eX-
hausted the glory and the fun of his
position. The explanation of the cere-
mony was this Among the domestic
animals the dog is placed lowest. But
the pity of heaven said in effect: We
will put ourselves lower than the dog,
we will give him the honor of riding in
state as our master, if only you will
give us rain The correspondent
adds that rain fell before sunset.
