any representative OF our navy from
coasts where its services may be ur.
gently required is due to the virtual
abolition of what was called for many
years the European station" In
enose years we had great mercantile
marine; its sails-in the consecrated
phrase-whitened all seas. In those
years we did not have the Panama un-

Anticipating Misfortune.

Not only do we suffer much in the
anticipation of evil, as Noah lived
many years under the affiiction OF
hood, and Jerusalem was taken unto
Jeremy before it was besieged," but
we often distress ourselves greatly in
the apprehension of misfortunes
which, after all, never happen at all.
We should do our best and wait calm
Iy the result. We often hear of peo-
pie breaking down from overwork. but
In nine cases out of ten they are real
