New steamers to Lie Idle.

Steamer Manhattan Of the Grand
Trunk system. in command of Capt.
William s. Durkee, came in to the
Central Vermont pier at New London
Wednesday morning under tow of
tugs, to tie UP until some route is
found for her, since the route from
Providence has been abandoned.
In length and breadth the Manhat-
tan is about the size Of the City of
Lowell. but she is one deck higher, CIV
ing her an appearance more like the
Puritan. She and her sister ship, the
Narragansett, an exact duplicate, which
will arrive later this week, are stated
to be the finest equipped passenger
vessels on the Atlantic coast.
The Manhattan is 54S feet in length
and so feet in width. Her hold has q
depth of 10 feet. Her gross tonnage Is
3.5S9 and her horse power $500. Triple
expansion twin screw engines, with six
boilers, give her a speed OF ~ miles an
hour under natural conditions, making
her much faster than any passenger
steamer in this vicinity.

Keeping The Balance.

al don't know whatthe American press
is coming 10 1t is simply outrageous
that article shall write the editor
this morning and tell him what ! think OF
him."
Charloue's gray eyes were flashing
and her cheeks were glowing. Charlotte
was rather splendid when she was in
dignant, and Uncle Ben looked at her
admiriugly,
al don't blame you for liking to do 1t,
when it sets you on fire like that, Char
lotte," he remarked appreciatively, "but
aren't you going rather fast ? Isn't this
editor-poor fellow the third person
you've felt it laid upon you 10 call to
book this week ?"
"What in the world do you mean,
Uncle Ben? Don't you think il is my
duty to have the courage Of my convic-
tions? Isn't half the trouble with things
today owing to the cowardice OF people
who grumble at home but are afraid TO
come out honestly into the open p
Charlotte's voice was full OF righteous
anger and the color in her face glowed
deeper. Uncle Ben picked up stick
and began whiting il abSently.
"Ever hear of Kicking Jim Wheeler ?"
he asked.
Charlotte shook her head ; there was
touch OF very human anger in her indig-
nation now.
"Kicking Jim," Uncle Ben said rem-
iniscently, Twas little man with a big
conscience. He felt things, and felt them
hard 1t happened once upon time
that a fellow had come 10 town and
worked himself ir on the school board,
and pretended TO be very strong for up
to-date methods. He turned out all the
old textbooks and put in a LOT OF new
ones, And we were sort OF dazzled by
his fireworks for little while. II was
Jim that discovered he was pockeling
commissions on the business, and faced
him with it, and got him turned out"
al call that fine !" Charlotte cried.
Uncle Ben nodded. $50 il was, so il
was, if only Jim could have taken il mod
crate. But he had tasted blood, so TO
speak, and from that time on he began
hunting for things 10 kick about until he
couldn't see anything else. He lost all
sense of proportion. He'd tear a poor
teacher up the back, but don't suppose
il ever entered his mind 10 commend a
good one. The same way in all town
affairs and finally it got so that people
just laughed, and said that Jim wouldn't
be happy unless he was scrappin' Too
bad il was, bec-usc sometimes he was
in the right"
Charlotte was silent. Uncle Ben, too,
was silent, as he fashioned the top OF his
peg with great care. Finally he spoke
again
al sort of settled in my own mind that
kicking is good for emergencies, but it
don't want TO be done continuous, or 1t
loses its effect. II everybody would
make il a rule to praise some good, quiet
piece OF work for every one they tear to
pieces, il would mebbe keep the balance
better that's the way I've figured tout
Charlotte still was silent.

Rifles Going Out of Use.

Military experts here are ofthe opinion
that it is highly probable the present war
will see the end Of the rifle as the princi-
pal weapon OF infantry.
According to German agents in Holland,
The German army is rapidly substituting
men armed with machine guns in place
of rifles Men so armed and protected
by concrete works and wire entangle-
ments can hold off long line OF The en-
emy. The tendency, il is said, is TO bring
up main forces OF infantry only in emer-
gencies.
At the beginning OF the war Germany
was credited with having $4,000 machine
guns. Notwithstanding some heavy loss
es OF these weapons, the factories have
been working day and night; and il is
now asserted that the number being used
on the various fronts is twice that total.
A German agent in Rotterdam states
Germanys case as follows:
Military science develops so rapidly
in times OF actual war that the weapon Of
today soon is discarded and something
better taken up. The greatest asset Ger
many possesses is her ability to see ahead
and make today the weapon OF tomorrow.
with the enemy, the rifle is sort Of
fetish The English are highly elaled
because the war has shown that their men
can shoot straighter and quicker than the
Germans. There is little cause for tri-
umph. A large part OF the time spent in
training their troops is spent in teaching
the construction and use OF The rifle ?
After all, Maxim is merely an improved
automatic rifle with a water jacket. A
man who could fire kicking gun Of the
period oflSl5 could fire and carry Maxim
with less effort. Are we not told that in
the old days the concentrated fire on one
side of an English square emptied less
than score Of French saddles at effective
ranger One modern machine gun would
have wiped out the whole squadron.
"ln modern warfare, and particularly
in trench warfare, the soldier who can
fire hundred shots TO his opponents
five has ninetY-fiye chances OF coming
out unscathed. The German soldier pre-
fers the machine gun TO the rifle; it en-
ables him 10 sit down comfortably and
squirt death at the foe as water is squirted
through hose, and 1t gives him that
sense Of superiority and security which
the possession Of superior weapon al
ways brings to the lighting m m"

Ulcers.

An ulcer is sore on the surface OF the
skin or on the membrane that lines the
inside OF the body. II spreads by the
gradual death OF the living tissue along its
edges, and shows little or no disposition
to heal naturally. AS the tissue dies, a
depression appears in the centre OF the
ulcer, with slightly raised edge where
the healthy tissue ends. The depressed
centre or "floor" OF an ulcer is covered
with "granulationS," which are little
masses OF cells at work making connec-
tive tissue. When the ulcer is getting
we'll, and the granulatlonS are not inter
tered with, the connective tissue gradually
draws the edges OF the ulcer together.
When the healing process has started
there will be blue line TO show how far
the healing has gone.
Ulcers may be local or constitutional.
Local ulcers are confined 10 one part OF
the body, although there may be several
al a time, whereas ulcers that are OF con-
Stitutional origin often appear in different
parts OF the body. In persons who, for
some reason. are unable TO set up Wig
Gus healing process, local ulcer usually
follows an abrasion OF the skin. In some
cases poor circulation causes an eczema,
which, in ifs turn, leads TO furious scratch
ing; that breaks the surface OF the skin
and results in an ulcer that may take
weeks and months TO heal. That may be
seen in varicose ulcer Of the leg, and in
the ulcer that follows broken-down
chilblain.> When the surface OF healthy
PERSONS skin is broken i tends 10 heal
quickly; when TIE healing does not take
place, but long-standing sluggish sore
remains, low degree Of vitality is indi-
Gated. The low vitality may be the re-
suit OF some disease unconstitutional faint.
such as tuberculosis, diabetes, or scrofuIa
or il may come simply from the weakness
of old age, or from the debility that follows
typhoid fever or grippe.
One OF the most important things in the
treatment Of an ulcer is TO give it COM
pIete rest. An ulcer Of the leg will never
heal while the patient persists in walking
about, but healing will usually begin at
once if the patient stays in bed. Every
thing must be done to improve the gen.
eral vitality so that the system shall have
the proper material with which TO carry
On the work of healing. The physician
in charge should direct the local antSepic
treatment.

NEW VOL. 50-No. %.
The Endless Chain.

Most of US have at some time received
letters asking us to send ten cents to some
philanthropc cause, and TO write TO two,
three. or more friends 10 do likewise.
Perhaps we have complied. Perhaps,
on the other hand, we have refused. In
either case il has lain in our power TO say
whether or not we shall be links in that
endless chain. There is another endless
chain, however, OF which we are all links
whether we will or no. That the chain
OF life that binds all humanity inseparably
together.
A young woman, full OF promise and
vitality, and with high devotion to hui
manity, was attacked in the early twenties-
by fatal disease. Condemned to mac
tivity. she employed the time left TO her
in compiling little book OF religious and
inspiring selections that she herself had
found comforting. and that she hoped
might prove helpful TO others.
Some years after this girls sdeath awom-
an who had known her suffered nervous
breakdown. One night, in the small,
sad hours, beset by insomnia, depression,
and WEAKNESS, that woman turned Tor
consolation to the little book ofselections.
and found there some verses by Anne
Bronte. As she read their brave message
of resignation and courage, she fell to
thinking OF those two young women, her
friend, the compiler OF the book, and
Anne Bronte. Both had been full otprom-
iSe and talent; both had been cut oil IN
their youth by the same disease, and both
had courageously wrung out OF their own
Sufferings help and strength Tor others.
And all at once her eyes were opened 10
that endless chain OF human helptulness.
II seemed TO her as il those two dead
women had reached their hands out oil
the past TO stay and encourage her in her
hour OF trial. One OF them had distilled
from her afiliction a little golden drop OF
poetry the other had found the verses,
had been cheered by them, and had put
them in her book for The inspiration OF
others. And because those two had play
ed their parts so bravely, that third wom-
an was inspired 10 consecrate her own
sufferings, and 10 resolve with Gods as
sistance TO be herself living link in that
endless chain OF helptllness.
No one lives TO himself, and no one
dies TO himself. We are all inseparably
and fearfully knit together. No one goes
through the world losing or saving his
own soul merely. God has not so ar
ranged il. When we fail, we fail not Tor
ourselves alone, but for humanity also.
But thank God when we succeed, we
succeed for all the world as well.
