 Later, when separated they exchanged letters, and from union in secular ar engagements their correspondence extend ed to questions of spiritual community.
 At last the Irish priest wrote that he did not think that their correspondence could profitably go further in this line adding: Tt should be enough that we are both working for the same end and for the same Master-you in your way and we in His"

 q say, it's an internal shame to strike a man when he's down.

Sugar Market

New York, May 19.-The local market
 for raw sugar was quiet without further
 business and closed nominal at 5ssc for
 Cubas cost and freight, equal to 6.40c for
 centrifugal and 5.63c for rlolasses. Hold
 CTS were again disposed to offer rather
 freely, Cubas in port being offered at 5ssc
 cost and freight, while Porto Ricos afloat
 were still available at 6.O2c for centrifu- gal, but the unsettled labor situation at Some of the leading refinerles seemed to discourage refiners to some extent, and as the demand for granulated recently has been less active, buyers were again inclined to hold off.
 Refined sugar was quiet with refinerS still holding on the basis of 765c to 770c for fine granulated, but second hand su- gars were available at 7.40c. What little business was doing was principally in the way of withdrawals of old contracts. | Futures suffered quite a severe setback late in the day, under general selling, which seemed to be due to the unsettled labor situation and the continued free or ferings of both Cubas and Porto Ricos in the spot market. The opening was a it- tie firmer on covering and some support from trade interests and prices showed slight gains for the active positions, but the selling was too heavy for the absorp- tion of buyers and prices reacted sharply, ] closing ? to 13 points net lower July

The log line II one Of the older de-
vices for measuring the velocity Of .
ship. The log Is nat Is made 70 that
1t will float perpendicularly. To this
q line Is fastened, called the log line.
The approximate speed Of the ship can
be determined by letting the line run
or for. say, half minute. The length
OF the line run on in that time gives
basis for calculating the speed per
hour. The log, during the experiment.
remains stationary on the surface of
the water, Of course. This Is the older
method. A modern method involves
the use of log with a revolving
mechanism which is dragged along In
the water behind the vessel.

stocks of silk to be burned. The
thread makers of Paisley thus found
their supplies Of raw material cut off,
and they had to look about to find a
substitute. Cotton was tried and was
found to answer the purpose so we'll
that the basis Of an entirely new in
dustry was laid-the manufacture Of
cotton thread.
