FLOATING MINES.

Mines that broke away froza their anchorage in the North Sea promptly 6oated out toward the deep water. For a period they have been floating around the Azores the sport of first one current and then another. Now inc movement is back toward the shores Of Europe.
 Tt has been said that the seas will not be cleared of these rnenaces for four or five years. the figuring being nased more upon the rate of deteriora- tioEi of metal than upon the skill and industry Of naVigatOrs in hunting down the mines.
 r. would be interesting to get the views Of the distinguished German mihtarist who said that war was 2 biological necessity regarding these dangers to the lives of those who go down to the sea in ships For if he was right. then the destruction of a merChantman in time of peace assun- inE that the destruction be by means Of weapons of war, must serve the snh of keeping the human race free of aboninations.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
MarbIehead's Welcome Home.

MT Editor: I hear you have had a Welcome Home in Norwich and l am about it. I wish I could have teen there.
 1 want to tell my friends at home about the Marblehead Welcome Horne. It was wonderful for such a small town. but the true spirit of '76 is here and you know the real painting all ed The Spirit of '76' is here in Ab- bolt Hall. Children call it Yankee Doodle"
 Friday night there was a big mili- loyal American, and couldn't do enough fo TOUT brave heroes
 Friday night there was bil miIi- tary ball in Abbot Hall and every man could invite all the friends he ing, guns were fired and all the bells rang for an hour and again at noon and six. Every house was decorated in this old town where the American navy was founded and there were many portraits of famous men and women in the windows. It was a great holiday. No one worked every one was dressed in his best and car rled a flag or horn, and every child had a balloon or something to make 9 noise Even the yachts and boats in the harbor were ablaze with the colors-
 There was a big luncheon at Ab- bot Hall. but every one kept open house for the service men Nine of the finest bands in New England play ed all day long in different parts of the town. The parade was at two o'clock the finest ever seen here Many of the floats were made by artists and the most beautiful one was the Memo rial for the dead brave men who died for us Miss Helen Bartlett, who is very pretty, was the Angel of Peace and every one cried when the float passed by. and people read the names of the men who were so loved in Mar biel1ead. Many of the floats were his torical and there were a great many Indians in war paint and squaws with a papoose on their backs and Indian ponies.
 All the school children paraded. many in costume, and all the Bow Scouts and Camp Fire Girls had new uniforms. Nothing was too good fer the sailors and soldiers. if it took ones last penny.
 After the parade there was a con cert and the nine bands formed to- gether and played the Star .Spapeled Banner; then General Clarence B. Ed ! wards addressed the people. After he had said q few words, he saw me sa lute him. then he stood at attention and saluted me You can imagine how Point General salute little boy like proud I was to have such a big Yves. me. Afterwards he came and smoke to me I had been very i'll and had to be wheeled. but my carriage was all decorated with flags and I carried a big. white banner. God bless our heroes"

less man will be probably made good There is precedent in the wheel, for as an instrument of locomotion it bears no resemblance to the legs of man or beast.
 The statement has just been made by MT. E. Walker, of Bristol, that his family has been farming for 800 years in the same parish. Who shall say that farming is not an attractive pur- suit after this? And where find such a record among the great families of the land? A recorded existence for 500 years in one spot!
 |, The writer knows, however, of an other farming case which may. pOssi- bly, beat MT. Walkers in some respects. The yoeman family of Curnock has lived upon and farmed it's own free hold lands of some l 800 acres at Hills ley, in the CotSwoids, in Gloucester shire, for just over APO years. The original freehold, it is true, was some what smaller being added to in the past as a result of one more mar riages with local heiresseS But the fact remains that for over 400 years the Curnoeks have sat upon their own lands at Hillsley without deigning to trouble either Burke. Debrett or Lodge. It is a proud business, this is. The London Chronicle.

GAVE IT AWAY AFTER ALL

little country places, and even when I'd made the operator understand ev- erything, as I supposed, she called me back to ask me who was making the call.
 ..The awful woman from St. Paul heard my difficulty and came into the office where l was wrestling with the phone just as the operator asked me for the ;rniiiionteenth time, who was calling.
 Miss Brenton. Miss Brenton. This is Miss~ I was shrieking when I happened. to catch sight of my new acauaintance standing spehbound. Tn the doorway. And l can tell you. Janey, you'd have been proud of the way I saved the day

TWO TROLLEY SOLUTIONS

Providence and New York offer two opposite measures taken in the solving of trolley problems In Providence, after a hearing before the public util- 5ttes commission. this board has or dred a six cent fare with two cents extra for transfers. In New York Mayor Hyian is setting out to save a fve-cent fare for the people by the distntegration of the street railway systems In this he is openly charged with the deliberate intent of wrecking the companies. Several of the inn pcrtant cross town lines in Manhat- tan have already ceased running while important up and down lines have been separated from the rest of the system. In Brooklyn tvventy-six separate lines are to result from fhe dfsintegraticn of the system. The five cent fare may be saved but the in dfvidual will pay more of them
 The change in fares in Providence Is 10 take effect at the end of the week, but it is not claimed that it win place the street railway in a strong financial position. The commission makes it clear that there must be fur ther action by the state and the mu- lltcipalities. Special taxes, which have no proper relation to car ser vice, should be abated; the paving as- Ssssmerts in particular are criticised rD- the report sf the commission The
