cident there is a whole lot of whole
some food for reflection. Recently we
have heard great deaf about Con-
fucianism and the Chinese worship of
ancestors" Now, the essence of the
Chinese respect for their department
forbears is that they may do credit to
the dead whose ashes they honor.
Thus, the Chinese descendent of
Chinese Shakespeare would try to do
something worthy of the blood in his
veins. All his energy would be devoted
to living up to the standard set by the
departed and improving upon that
standard, if possible. In these days
when Occidentals talk on one side of
the Atlantic about their grandfathers
having come over with the Conquer
or" and upon the other about their
grandfathers having come over i'll
the Mayflower" it is worth while ask
ing ourselves if we are not just a little
way behind China in this matter of
"the worship of ancestors?'

The Schoonsr's knell.
Boston Traveler.)


A great change in the coastwise
transportation service which has been
coming about in the past few years
has been FASTENED by the succession of
gales that has swept the North At
lantic this winter. In few years
more the five and six-masted schoon-
ers, which are now plentiful in the
harbor will be little less of a rarity
than the old square riggers. In their
places will be steam golfers, which
have already proven their usefulness.
1t looks as if the only commercial
sailing craft of the future will be
the smaller schooners of 200 or 800
tons, which may be used in the lum-
her trade. The change will take from
the coastwise highways one of the
picturesque features of ocean travel.
BY the law of the survival Of the
fittest the sailing vessel is giving way
to the steamer. The latter is more de-
pendable. 1t is more sure to earn div
idends for its owners. The loss of the
Fuller Palmer and of the Grace M.
Martin this winter are illustrations of
the uncertainties of the schooners. The
large deck areas become loaded with
ice as the stormy seas sweep over
them in winter gales and the great
weight opens mp seams and starts
leaks. The seven-masted Thomas w.
Lawson, of which great things were
expected, failed to prove its worth as
a collier and met its end in gale off
the Scilly Isles. Another big schooner.

WORSE THAN COCAINE.
Herein Habit More Dangerous fo'
Drug Fiends.

According to information gathered
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture, there has been a sudden
and very significant increase IN the
use by persons with drug habit OF
the little known but very dangerous
drug called "heroin," says THE Post
Graduate"
The sales of this drug have recent
Ay increased greatly, particularly IN
those states which have rigid laws pre-
venting the indiscriminate sale OF NOR
phine and cocaine. Investigation OF
the subject establishes the fact that
many drug victims who formerly used
morphine and cocaine and who under
the new laws find 1t difficult to obtain
these substances have begun using
herein, the sale of which is not as yet
SO carefully restricted under state
laws.
The drug is said to be fully as dam
gerous as morphine, and by many is
