Oil in the British Navy.

The British navy was the first to employ oil as a fuel in connection with coal Oil is used in all the newer battleships and soon will probably be a permanent form of fuel to the extent of 100000 tons a year. Of the worlds output of oil the British empires pro- portion is scant 6 per cent, while American production is about GA per cent, close on two- thirds of the whole These figures show how entirely Great Britain is dependent in this respect on foreign countries, and particularly on the United States and how the in- creasing use of oil in English battle ships must rest largely on contracts entered into in this country.
 AS marked as the dependence of the British navy on American oil is the dependence of the British army on American meat. Just as the British navy is dependent on the Standard oil company and the British army on the Chicago stock yard, so is the British civilian public dependent despite India and Canada, on the Minnesota and Da- kota wheat fields and the Chicago

ADVANCES TO RAILROAD MEN.

The present increase in the pay of railroad workers will call for an ad- ditional annual outlay of $35,000,0 900 by the fourteen great systems partici- pating. The new schedules offered by the New York Central, the New York, New Haven & Hartford the Boston & Albany, and the PennsyI- vania involve an aggregate increase of nearly ,s20.OO0,o00 annually, and these are only four of the fourteen railroads upon which advances have been announced.
 Attention is called to the fact that this general advance in the wages of railroad men is the second in a period Of four years. The last previous raise came in 1906-07. Soon after in the fall of 1907, came the panic, but the railroads, despite the falling off in business, did not reduce the wages then. Thus the present increase comes on the top of the one four years ago.
 To iIlustrate: An employe earning s150 a month in 1906, on a road where a 10 per cent. advance was granted, received s15 more under the higher scale. A per cent advance this year carried his pay to $176-55 a month. This represents a net increase of 17.7 per cent. over what he received in IeO6

OUR TENDER HEARTS.

The rattan went out of the public school system because great hearts said it's application was brutal. wheth- CT sparing the rod was spelling the child or not. It has been kept out for several decades without any sig nifcant evidence that the movement was wise or otherwise
 A school teacher of r years stand ing was recently punished by a New York city board of. education and sus- of pay for violating the rule prohibit ing corporea1 punishment, and this is what the little culprit had to say about it. as printed in the papers:
 The boy was called on at the trial and asked if the teacher had mis- treated him. He said:
 Miss Tibbitts pulled my hair a lit- tie. She heard someone talking and thought it was me. She just put her hand into my hair"
 Did she lift you from the chair by the head ?''
 NO. sir''
 Did she hurt you much ?"
 '.She didn't hurt me as much as fool- ing"
 And upon this evidence g to 10 great hearts put condemnation and loss of pay upon a poor teacher. The contemporary that said: sThe action of the educational board in New York makes the prohibition ridiculous and turns it into an agency for the perse- cution of teachers" cannot be charged with having withheld the truth.

TRUSTING THE LAW OF GOOD

failing to grasp what is for us, what, because it is ours. Is for us something better. I learned that lesson when was a child, and in way that can there was a military pageant which was to attend with my brothers. How it happened that I became sep arated from them, do not know; but it did happen and l was left at home for a long, lonely afternoon. You know what the inevitable means to a child; how it seems like the end of the world remember throwing my self on the sofa in our back parlor and crying my heart out. When father and mother returned from their drive and found me there. face down in the pill lows, they were so sorry for me that while. what with their betting, and letting me have supper with them. and the privilege they accorded me of sitting up that evening much later than usual. I forgot my sorrow and went to bed a happy child. As father lifted me in his arms to kiss me good night he said: Remember, little daughter. that a disappointment al- yond, something that is your very own. yours to keep and be glad of My father died suddenly that very night, and all my life I have been grateful for the .something better of that last happy evening in his arms at home. / Sho was silent a moment, then went on: T never forgot his words; again and again I have proved them true.

 Outside the rain was pouring and the wind blowing in gusts; the night was dark to blackness and the forces of nature were Haunting in fury. In- side, the beams and rafters of our old house groaned. the floors crealed and all sorts of little mysterious noises made themselves felt. As Lady Great heart leaned forward to lay a fresh log on the fire. my next question star tied her:

 'Even then" she answered, her eyes softly luminous. "Something better, something that is waiting for us, OUT very own. ours to keep and be glad of-forever."

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT,

Without playing the eavesdropper or possessing ourselves of secrets to which we have no right, we mal learn a good deal, of we keep our ears open, from the conversations going on about us. The lesson is often one of warning. I ann not thinking now of the language used. It is possible to frame faultless sentences and yet say nothing of con- sequence. On the other hand one may take great liberties with the Kings English, as the honored evangelist, D. L. Moody, sometimes did, and yet give voice to a thought that stabS the con- science awake, and puts iron into the will.
 So it is rather of the staple than of the form of daily talk that I speak. being under the strong conviction that the subjects treated are as a rule of a. lower grade than should engage us. The other day I rode for an hour on a train with a mother and grown-up ellter who sat so close to me that I could not help hearing what they said. And what did they say? One long string of questions and answers concerning what they had had to eat in the city they had just visited, what they had bought in the shops and what they would have purchased. if their purses had been longer, what they wore at the dinners and teas to which they had ben invited, what furnish ings were in the houses of their
 
 on at the theaters, what Aunt Sarah said about Cousin Georges new motor car and what fellows were paying at tention, to what girls.
 And 30 on and so on. Nothing Ob- jectionahle nothing scandalous, but all rather tedious for the man who could not choose but hear
 Sample the average ma sculine con- versation as you meet a group of men, in a hotel lobby or at the club, and what do you hear? The stock express sions relate to deals, pools, proposi- tions, stocks, bonds, percentage of profit, mergers. gilt edged investments and the like. Or consort with the poli- ticians and hear them talk about the machine and party loyalty. about pulls and delivering the goods Or frequent the gatherings of the fashionable and listen to the comments on gowns and hats the latest society chit-chat the freshest bit of gossip or scandal.
 Plain, is it not, that people today talk chiefly about what they eat and wear. about the almighty dollar and wherewithal they shall be amused. People talk about these things because they think about them. And what a poverty of ideas the average popular conversation reveals, what shallow emotions. what a limited experience of the height and depth of~human life!

Force attracts attention wherever it manifests itself; and when any body of men get together and move with vigor their movements at once be- come of more than local significance The board of trade of Gloucester has issued creed for all the people to subscribe to, and it reads as follows .
 I believe in Gloucester, her people and ller interests.
 I believe in her natural beauties and attractions.
 believe in her fishermen and the future of her fisheries
 I believe in attracting and welcom- ing summer people.
 I believe in industrial development for Gloucester and in pushing for such advance now.
 I believe that every dollar spent for good roads will bring many dollars worth of taxable property into the city, Dollars for the mechanics, the hotels and the merchants.
 I believe that when spend a dol lar out of town that I could spend in Gloucester I am doing my city an injury.
 I believe in commenting and not condemning. If I can only help by my voice, will give that help or keep quiet.

LAYING THINGS TO THE COMET

We may be said to be nearing the point where certain classes of people will charge the comet with causing certain conditions and effects. A des- patch from Evansville, Ind, the other day. said:
 Scores of persons in this comnuni- ty complained that they were unable to get enough sleep; in fact in sew eral instances persons have slept if teen or twenty hours and still were sleepy. They attribute this inclina- ton to sleep to Halley's comet"
 This is a mild beginning; but it is only the beginning, for, as a contem- porary suggests, the comet will be saddled with responsibility for a lot of other things besides making per- sons sleepy Possibly, it's near ap- proach to earth is what is causing the unw3nted stew in politics, is making the insurgent sentiment seethe and boil. is making the enemies of Uncle Joe- rise up and smite his allowance for an automobile, and, conversely, in making ~Uucle Joe" take the floor and rend his democratic and insurgent en- ernies
 And. as in the past, when we look over the list of human occurrences which have been charged to the influ- ence of the comet, we shall find that while the celestial vagrant puts some to sleep it fires others 10 action and earthquakes and wars and rebeIlior.> and nzsfortunes of every sort are charged up to it. Laying things to the comet Is easier than taking cogniz- ance of the fact that we ourselves are guilty of them

FOR A RAINY DAY.
How Residents of New Britain Are
 Preparing to Weather It.

Having finished the study of reore- alton and amusement In New Britain, the Mems Sunday Civic class began a consideration of the Bread and But. day, says the New Britain Herald. This is a question which comes very near home to the thousands in this city who are numbered among the working class. w. K Holmes of the high school fac ulty addressed the class Sunday on the Rainy Day" problem MT. Holmes spoke in a very interesting manner. touching upon savings, loans, the need rates for loans, mutual benefit organ izations, industrial insurance. cheaper insurance and charity agencies.
 He said in part:
 The Rainy Day Problem.
 T1sre C an inborn inclination in most men to make some provision against the time when they will cease to have an economic value in the labor markets Of the world Experience has taught the race that the rainy day is sure to come, and it must be ready to meet that day. A man prefers to live in a community where he is able to support his family and lay up a store for the future.
 This club will consider today not only the opportunities our city offers a man for saving his money. but also what there is. in the city to help over a hard spot-sfckness, accident or other reverses--a man who must spend his whole income for the necessities of life. There are three savings banks in New Britain. These banks have 17,S10 deposits less than s1.00 each. These deposits aggregate $3.105, ,347- an average of s175 each. They also have 1,344 deposits between S1,000 and s2.000. aggregating $1,758,771-an av- craze or $1,308 each. If we estimate that 11,000 families in this city hold these deposits, then each family has a saving of SAP.

THE AMERICAN PRESS.

The American press not only pro- notes every public enterprise and all organized benevolences; but is itself a great force for philanthropy of every sort It is always doing something somewhere for the common good and for the relief of the people Even the great yellow journals do something more than to flourish upon sensation aIism-to coin money upon exploiting crime.
 If sensationalism is the vice of the press 1t has then more virtues left than the everyday individual who is shocked by its exhibits of crime Ey- cry day it prints thousands of col umns Of religious matter, and this part Of it's work in a year amounts to more than one hundred thousand vol uues Of good reading matter The re- porters of the press save scores from crime and suicide and by directing public attention to the need of poor families and the families of criminals bring relief and put them in the way of permanent employment and a bet ter life
 What other private corporations ex- cept the great newspapers have, like the New York Tribune, handled a freeh-air fund and sent in twenty-five years thousands of fresh-air children to the country for recuperation: or like The Herald distributed free ice, and free clothing in certain exigen- cies to the poor: or, like the Chicago News, esta blished a health resort and hospital at the lakeside and by dis tributfon of tickets saved the lives of thousands of feeble tenement house infants; or, like the Philadelphia Times. paid premiums to the occu- pants of the tenements for the pret- tiest gardens and cleanest backwards; or like the Boston Post, furnished medical attendance to the sfck-poor in hot weather and a steamer-hospital to take feeble mothers and invalid cilil- dren and cripples out upon the water for fresh air and recreation. The work ish and demeanfng, so weak and so corrupt that any one has reason to deplore its devotion to the wicked and frivolous affairs of life to the neglect of the good and noble. The Ameri- good work-a potent force which ev- with full assurance of having a quick and hearty response.
 What good it does is not always a matter of record; but 1t is the one fighter of the peoples battles. the ex- poser of graft, the assailer of greed and the sleuth upon the heels of sSoundrels everywhere.
 Spoken of comparatively and phi1an- tiropicaIIy, 1t has no equal in it's de- voticn to private and public rights among the other money making con- cerns of this great country.
