 Reference has been made in previ- ous weeks to the trade in the latter years of 17o0, between Norwich mer- chants and ports in Ireland.
 In many instances the voyages to Irish seaports would be continued to Liverpool. The products of Norwich and towns inland would be carried oversea in loca1-bu1h craft, the ship masters returning with cargoes which included linens and the like. the pro- ducts largely of Irish looms.
 As early as 17e6, e small ship named the Ceres was built in Nor wich for the direct Irish trade. Her commander was Roswell Roath and her first voyage was regarded as un- usually prosperous, as it lasted only week over three months and she brought back a valuable cargo.
 In her second or third voyage, how ever, the Ceres, when twenty three days out, was taken by a French armed vessel, carried into French port, and both vessel and cargo con demned.
 Another ship employed in this trade was the Young Eagle. The first mo- tice of her is contained In a record of her arrival in November, 1793, from Ostend, Elias Lord, master. She came in again under the same com mander, June 2nd. 1794, in fifty three days from Liverpool, and continued for two or three years longer in this line of trade, Jedediah Perkins, mas ter.
 The records show that, during 17e9 the Irish trade was prosecuted by the brig Neptune, Perkins master, sloop Endeavor, James Harlowe, ana schooner EN1izo p E~aoUnan
 The Neptune, in a return voyage was boarded, July IT, by French privateer of sixteen guns, called thC Tiger, and plundered of several bale: of dry-goods and crates of crockery Letters were opened and other enor. us. The Neptune arrived in Norwich on September 2nd. seventy one dayt from Liverpool, with nothing left O her cargo but salt.
 In 1894, the brig Ceres was built a Norwich, named for the lost shil which had been captured by tn French in 1796. or '97, as noted. Ros well Roath was commander of tn | new brig, which made her first voyag to Cork, whence she arrived at Ney York with ten passengers, considere large number, Jan: 18th. 1So; | When she reached her home port sh reported "A tedious passage of 10 days from Newry"
 The value of the carcoes brought e
 that time from ports in the Britis Isles may be judged from the fac

Ldtln gave 10 ElShSh speech, bul IL is sufficiently accurate to serve. The magnanimOus man is big of heart and mind. He is big enough to overlook personal sights and to forget selfish ambitions, in the interest of a good cause.
 Magnanirnity becomes one of the noblest words in the language to us, when we have really grasped its con tent. Its meaning is illustrated by Washington, maligned by stupid and jealous rivals, yet steadily continuing his almost superhuman efforts for the success of the continental cause: by Lincoln, in the hour before his second presidential campaign, when defeat at the polls seemed probable, yet using every energy to make the administra- tive path smooth for his successor; by AmundSen, allowing the hand of an- other to hold the flag when the photo graph of his triumphant little party of explorers was taken at the South Pole. If we wish the supreme exhibition of magnanimity, beyond which, surely, greatness of spirit can never go, let us think of the words of Christ upon the cross. Surveying those who had driven the cruel nails, the Sufferer prayed: | Father. forgive them, for they know not what they do."
 In old Rome magnanimity meant
 more especially, physical courage, the l bravery of the man to whom bodily pain was contemptible, who met death | itself without fiinching. With us, | more of the idea of moral courage has
 been imported into the word. It means courage of spirit, courage that makes one able to stand injustice without be- | ing stung into hatred and revenge, | that enables one to exercise charitable l judgment, even toward ones enemies. The little-minded people are ever with us. They are generally carrying | chips on both shoulders. They are
 ready for slights-and ready with
 knocks. They are responsible for | much human misery.
 Mrs. Grundy, for instance is not
 magnanimous. She overlooks none of
 the faults of her neighbors, nor fails | to report any. A distinguished visi- tor not long since gave some excellent advice to the girls of a fashionable city school. Never be cats!" he said. Pro-
 ceeding to make his meaning clear, he deplored the way in which so many people spend their lives saying unkind
 things about their neighbors, tearing
 regulations to pieces and sPeakine
 sarcastically even about their friends
 The chatty spirit is as far as possible
 from magnanimity.
 BIe-minded people will cultivate charity in all their personal relations Life is too short to be spent in nurs
 ing grievances or in meditatinl
 revenge. One is rot under bonds tC
 run down every malefactor who in jures him. Vengeance Is mine,
 will repay, saith the Lord" He wh, . deliberately harms another is himsel . most harmed now-and the Alrndght, , can take care of the hereafter. , Let us cease dealing in harsh 1udg

You doubtless have discovered your self as the slave of a habit; and per haps you have found that you were like q fly well bound in a spiders web when you resolved to master the habit rather than to yield to it. The mo- ment you attempt to overcome it the battle is on and you are surprised by the power of resistance which habit sets up. Your will is not what you thought it was, you are overcome in the contest again and again, and if you acknowledge habit as your master your freedom is lost, you are a victim for life to neglect of duty. You were deaf to the mandate of conscience and did not halt at the point where vic tory would have been easy. If you had been loyal to your convictions, if you had recognized the truth, the truth would have made you free; but you indulged the weakness which be- came strength and had reason to be startled when you recognized your mistake. Habit binds a man to mis- fortune as nothing else can.

BE- MINDEDNESS,

Possibly our title is not a perfectly accurate synonym for the fine, mouth filling word, magnanimity, that the Latin gave to English speech. But it is sufficiently accurate to serve. The magnanimoUs man is big of heart and mind. He is big enough to overlook personal sights and to forget selfish ambitions, in the interest of a good cause.

Since life is a mystery no school of philosophers or scientists have been able to interpret more than half the phenomena of life, since the remainder seems to be beyond the ken of human intelligence. As man is being made more and more a mystery to himself because of his subconscious manifesto tions, his subliminal revelations and his cosnic conceptions, he finds mys- tery in religion and mystery in sin. He can ask himself why and wherefore concerning ten thousand things, which excite his interest without getting an answer. For half a century science has failed to find out whether 1t is an excess of oxygen that makes the saint or an excess of hydrogen which makes the sinner. It is not surprising that | agnostics are increasing-that the q | don't-knows" are multiplying among men. Science has never been able to l discover any necessity for a creator, | and but for the inner depths of the
 human heart man could not be sensi- l tive to a divine presence.

The PsaImist in his haste said all men are liars, and the government of our own making says so deliberately.
 Trust no man is the governmental edict. The court swears every wit ness whatever his position or charac-
 ter to tell the truth, and the state and government swear every officer to hon. or the law and administer public af- fairs honestly. No one is immune from distrust- We have become so
 used to the custom that when the l court says: MT. Clerk, swear the wit ness' we do not feel sensitive to the only inference which can be drawn | from the oath; or from the law back l of it, which is to fmprison all of us as
 perjurers if we do not yield to com
 pulsion. The Saviour himself would not be eXempt fro mthis rule.

A scheme of Norwich ship owners and masters devised during the early years of 1900 was to combine a fish ing trip with European trade. This saved the drain of silver paid for inn ported goods. A license for fishing and a foreign passport would be ob- tained. and the vessel would clear fol the cod-fsherles and a market.

THE NEW "OUSTER
LAW" IN VIRGINIA

BRISTOL, Tenn, June 1.-THE
citizens of Bristol, Va, are about con-
vinced that there is no law so effect
i've to secure law enforcement as an
"ouster law" The new custer law
in Virginia is causing municipal au-
thorities to bestir themselves.
Mayor Warren, of Bristol, Va. de-
clares that in his city the 'blue laws"
will be enforced. He has caused no
tice to be served on the local dealers
that they must shut up shop on
Sunday, except for work that NAV
be construed as a necessity. He is
unable to say to what extent this
will close up shops of various kinds
until he has received definite in
structions from the attorney-general
of the state. 1t is expected that At
torney-General Pollard will instruct
all municipal governments along this
line.
The lid is now to be on in Bristol,
Va, and ministers and churchmen
who have long opposed Sunday sell
ing declare that they are going to
invoke the new custer law to see
that the blue laws" are enforced.
