ON READING FINLAND VOYAGE'

l From ''The Letters of George Mere 1 dith."
 1O) OK HILL, Dorking, June 4, 1878. ICN My Dear Stevenson: had not ~ time to write to you imm ediately after reading the book, but my inn pressions are fresh. My wife has gained possession of it at last, so sbonld have to run down to the house to quote correctly. She fell on the book, I snatched it, she did the same, but I, regaining it, cut the pages, con stituting an act of ownership. leave this to her invariably, so she was i'm pressed and abandoned the conflict. l have been fully pleased. Tue writing is of the rare kind which is naturally ,, simple yet picked and choice. It is literature. The eye on land and peo- ple embraces both, and does not take them LID in bits. I have returned to the reading and shall again. The re-
 flections wisely tickle, they are in the right good tone of philosophy inter wrought with humor. My protest is against preface and
 
 the final page. The preface is keeniy in Osric vein--"everything you will dear worthy public. but we are exceed ingly modest and doubt as you will read us, though exauisitely silken- calved we are, and could say a word of ourselves. yet on seeing our book, were we amazed at our littleness, in-- deed and truly, my lord Public?' AS for the closing page, it is rank recre- ancy "Yes. Mir. Barlow said Tommy,

 I remember. "On ths Oise,'' you speak of the. river hurrying on, never stop- ping to take breath.'' This, and a touch of excess in dealing with the reeds, whom you deprive of their beauty by overinforming them with your sensations, I feel painfully to be leveled at the Saxon head It is in the style of Dickens.
 But see what an impression I have of you when these are the sole blots I discover by my livVly sensations in the perusal

LIKE NpLIrKE SAYS

It IS better to marry a beautiful dis position than beautiful face. But it IS hard to make young man believe it. Almost any man of 60 would be rich If he had all that he dropped in trying to pick up more.
 Any time you see a girl in waist that II open in front as far down as the wish bone You can bet that she is willing to admit that she has a good figure. It isn't. hard for married couple to get up a fight. We know one couple who are always quarreling about the best way to make edch other happy
 It may seem paradoxical But the best way to make money go long way is to hang on to it.
 About the time a man knows just what his wife is going to do next she invari- ably changes her mind and does some- thing else.
 There are times when a man can con vince his wife. But there are never any times when he can keep her convinced.
 It is easy to tell good advice from the other kind Good advice is the kind that tallies with our desires
 Some folks have an idea. that it is never too late to do your Christmas shopping early
 There are times when a girl can't get hat that is big enough to suit her But it is different with her shoes
 Another thing that worries us is how woman is going to drive man to drink now that prohibition has tied crape on the doors of the kaifs.
 The secret of success is to sell your experience for twice as much as you paid for it.
 Another strange fact is that the more man acts like mouse the less woman is afraid of him.

OFFICE ROOM IN NEW YORK

From the Wall Street Journal.
 Talking about the shortage of office space in the financial district, listen to this!" said the raconteur to a group of his acquaintances.
 I've got friend-a manufacturer agent Last June he leased two small offices for s10o month. In July he sub- let one of the offices to a collector for s1oo month. In August the collector sublet desk room to an advertising agent for $100 month. In September the ad- vestising agent put in double desk and leased one side of it to stock salesman for S100 month.
 I'm glad you've finished with that lie, D said one of the hearers as the raconteur paused for breath.
 "It's true, every word of it. so help me! Besides, I haven't finished. This very October the stock salesman subIet for s1O0 a month his side of the desk from sunset till sunrise to the superintendent of gang of night watchmen."

NEGROES ON THE SEA

that the name given the first craft of. the Black Star line lis a compliment ! and recognition to Douglass wider than generally known Or shown. The world at large remembers the great mulatto orator, says the commentator. for his work in the freedom of his people, but how many are there" he asks, who knows that before he es- capped to the north he worked as a shtpbuilder and as a sailor before the mast?"
 But Douglass was not the first. nor. by any means the last, negro to do creditable service in the realms of ships and seafaring; for. while the American negro is as rule, most at home on dry land, the black race has almost from it's advent upon the west ern hemisphere been identified to al and oceanic commerce--and credits ably sos essaaaa
 Ocean trade, in fact, seems to offer as favorable field for negro. as for Asiatic or Caucasian, initiative, inge- nuity industry and capital; and there Is no apaprent reason why the colored people who have demonstrated theirs ability to run banks, insurance com- panies. and commercial, industrial and educational enterprises of various kinds, should not make a success in the maritime transportation industry.

to buy the children a few cheap Christmas presents, while they kept a wary eye on the grocer, the butcher and the coal dealer, went to bed on the night of December 16 not greatly troubled over the dire prediction at tributed to a scientist who seems to have been misquoted They doubtless thought that if the world were com ing to an end, there would also be an end to all the ills that flesh is heir to, which have grown in such variety here of late that the most fortunate of mortals endures ad- versity's "slings and arrows"
 For centuries astrologers have been predicting the end of the world and timorous mortals to no purpose, but Mother Earth continues to make her stately progress around my lord, the sun, and the procession of the seasons alternately inspires the poets or brings forth loud com plaints from the generality. Even so great an upheaval as the late war has not left scars so deep that they will not disappear.
 Having survived for a period of time estimated from thousands to millions of years, Mother Earth, though wrinkled and sere, as she nat uraHy would be, nevertheless shows astonishing vigor and health. She will probably continue to stick to her orbit for long time to come, un- less, of course, some reckless body, joy-riding through the universe and all interstellar traffic laws, coIlides with us. Tn that ease the results might be a disaster to which no Martian historian could do justice.

Walker County Farmers
 Visit Birmingham Today

10 NE HUNDRED or more Walker NJ county farmers will be in Birmingham today, guests of the Chamber of Commerce and its com mittee on agriculture They are coming at the invitation of that com mittee, which has been and is giving a great deal of attention to the agri- cultural development of the state.
 The Walker county farmers are coming to study dairying, and while here they will be shown through one of the most thorough and up-to-date Icreameries in the south and several model dairies in the vicinity of Bir- mingham.
 It is said that there is not dairy in Walker county and the encourage Iment the farmers will receive here today, it is believed, will influence some of them to engage in that in- dustry. Birmingham's butter bill alone amounts to several thousand dollars a day and practically all of it comes from the north and west. There is no good reason why the farmers in North Alabama should not supply all the butter consumed in Bir- mingham and the other cities of this end of the state
 The dairy business, conducted on scientific basis, is said to be profit able. It is not as expensive to keep cattle in Alabama as it is in Illinois, owing to the shorter winters and the milder weather.
 Birmingham extends a cordial well. come to the Walker county farmers and would be glad to have them come often.

From the Atlanta Constitution. TN LACK STAR LINE is the name of lM the latest addition to the ~ American merchant marine, an oceanic steamship corporation having recently been formed, with head offices in New York.
 The corporation Is capitalized, for a beginning, at s5o0,ooo in shares of a par value of $5, to be held exclusively by negroes.
 few days ago it's first steamship was launched and christened the Frederick Douglass, in honor of the American negro who rose from slav- cry to seat in the United States Sem ate, and whose statesmanship and re- markable gift of oratory did so much
 in behalf of the cause of freedom for his race.
 The Frederick Douglass Is to be commanded by a negro, Joshua Cock burn; it is to have negro engi- neers, negro mates and negro crew, and the same rule is to apply to other ships that may be built by the Black Star Line company which corporation likewise is efficered and manned from top to bottom by members of the col ored race.
 Immediately after her trial trip the Frederick Douglass is to be put in the oceanic trade between New York, the West Indies, Central America and probably Canada.

Franklin K. Lane Will
 Resign From the Cabinet

| G7THE resignation of Franklin K.
 0 Lane as Secretary of the h.
 terior will add another name to the growing list of government officials lwho were unable to make both ends meet on their salaries.
 1 To the average citizen, s12,O0O a year, the salary of cabinet mem iber, seems ample for all his require ments, even though he might wish to gratify taste for luxuries, but the cost of living in Washington has been felt more acutely than in many other American cities, and the posi- tion of cabinet officer, with it's re- responsibilities. social and other wise. lis such that s12,000 a year is rela- lively small.
 Like Secretary Redfield, Attorney General Gregory and Secretary Mo IAdoo, Secretary Lane has been con- Ipelled to choose between public serv- ice and private interest. Having once been newspaper man, it is rumored that he plans to resume his profes- sion.
 As member of the Presidents of- ficial family, Secretary Lane quickly won distinction. His personal popu- larity is pronounced, in and out of official circles, and he is rated as one of the ablest members of the Wilson cabinet.
 The shortage of houses in Berlin has led to the suggestion that 150 sleeping cars standing idle in railroad yards be used to accommodate the homeless. A sleeping car is more or less an anomaly without solieitous ebony-hued porter. and that cheerful announcement in the morning, First call to breakfast in the dining carsr
