TECD’S SEX DAYS.
"Monday I think is the very best day."
Said Ted, “it‘s such a. good time- to
play."
On Tuesday, too, ”.was the very same
song,
So happy he’d been the whole day
long. '
"0f W’ediicsdays I wish I had a ton,
They bring a fellow such heaps of fun!“
Thursday. 1110’ raining the ’morning
through,
Was pleasant he had so much to (10.
Friday he made a cart for his brothers,
And somehow the day surpassed the
others!
Saturday, full of errands to run,
Really equalled his Vi’cdnesday’s fun.
Don’t you think Ted’s the wisest way-
To make the most out of every day?
A. F. CALDWELL.
An English Hubsnu
Lieutenant I—Iobson's deed of brav-
ery on the Merrimac reminded at;
English officer of an English boy.
named Hobsotn. He lived at the rim.
in the Isle of Wight. One day new:-
came that the English fleet was in All.

back lane to the shore, shoved off in .

ed to be the admiral’s own ship. (in!
to Spa they sighted the enemy. T}:

the admiral's ship was locked yrll-zl
arm and yardarm with the leading-
ship of the French i‘u‘et. \‘(hile to.

able seamanz—“What are we trying
to do?” “Do you see the il.g ii;
there?” said the sailor, pointing to ill!
Frenchman’s masthead. “Ye-s."

down,” said the man. Presently ti.”
English crew raised a mighty shoul
of exulta-tion and the French saw
that their flag was gone. .l'nsiani‘.)
the order to board- was obeyed and
after a short uxsismnce the French
ship surrendered. "Who saw illi‘

How the Pig Fooled the Dog.
Here is a true tale of a dog And :1
pig. They were both passengers on
the same ship, and quite warn:
friends. They used to eat their cold
potato-es off the same plate. and but
for one thing would never have had
any trouble. This was the fact that
the dog had a kennel and the pig had
none.
Somehow the pig got it into its
[read that the kennel belonged to
whichever could could get into it first.
So every night there was .a race. If
the dog won he showed his teeth. and
the pig had to lie on. the softest
plank he could find. If the pig got in
first Toby could not drive ‘him out.
One rainy raftzlrnoon the pig found
it rather unpleasant slipping about on
deck and made up his mind to retire
early. But when he reached the ken-
nel he found the dog snug and warm
inside. “Uraph!” ’he said, but Toby
made no reply.
Suddenly an idea flashed upon him,
and trudging off to where their dinner
plate was lying. he carried to a part
of the deck to where Toby could so;
it, and turning his back to the kennel,
began rattling the plat! and munch-
ing as though
him.
This was too, much for Toby. A
good dinner, and he not there! Piggy
kept on until Toby had come round
in front of him and pushed his nose
into the empty plate.
Then, like a shot, he turned around
and was safe in the kennel before
Toby knew whether more was any
dinner on the plate or not.
Noblesso Obllge.
“Here, boy; let me have a ‘Sun.’ "
“Can’t, nohow, mister.” '
“Why not? You’ve got them; I
heard you a minute ago cry them loud
enough to be heard at the City Hall.”
“Yes, but that was down' t’other
block, ye know, where I hollered.”
“What does that matter? Come.
now, 3110 fooling; hand me out a paper:
I’m in a hurry.”
:w “Couldn’t sell you no paper in this
here block, mister. cos it belongs to
Limpy. He’s just up to the furder end
nowryou’ll meet him.”
“And .: who is. Limpy, pray? And
why does he have this special block?"
“Co‘s us kids agreed to let him have
it. Ye see, it’s a good run on ’coum
of the offices all along. and the poor
chap is that lame he can’t git around
lively like the rest of us; so we agreed
that the first one caught Sellin’ on his
beat should be - lit on an' thrashed.
See?"
“Yes, I do see. So you newsb-ps
have :a sort of brotherhood among
yourselves 7‘"
“Well, we’re going to look out for a
little .cove what’s lame. anyhow. you
bet!” : _ -_ '

fortunate boy to have such kind
friends.” ~ ' arr: _ '

CURRENT COMMENT.
A learned judge has rendered an im~
portant decision. It is that harmoni—
cas are toys. The customs officers
tried to make out that they were
grand pianos. '
The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion is hearing some painful talcsof
the losses occasioned to American rail-
roads by the unfair-competition of the
C-anadian‘I-‘acific; but inasmuch as the
adulation road is fostered by the re-
fusal of the American Congress to im-
pose upon it disabilities with regard
to its American traffic equal to those
imposedon the railroads of this coun-
try. it would seem that the appeal of
the latter lies properly to Congress
rather than to the Interstate Commis-
81011.
The fact that the health of the men
on the fleets fiduring the war with
Spain was so much better than
was that of the men in the
camps is proof that climate alone
is not a sufficient explanation
of general conditions of sickness. It
is true that sailors are better shelter-
ed than soldiers, but they are also
more crowded. The sanitation of a
ramp, and hygienic rules are strictly
enforced. in the navy sickness is pre-
vented or promptly met in the most
intelligent and thorough manner.
“Then the same care is exercised with
the army ill-c results will be similar.
Figures compiled by the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics show that this
country’s manufactures of iron and
steel have advanced by measured
strides. and not by spurts, from a total
valuation of $14,716,524, in 1880, to $70.-
367,527, in 1898. The increase in ex-
ports has kept pace with that in manu-
factures. and the total amount of im-
ports of this character has correspond-
ingly decreased. The figures tell their
own story, and it
one. The United States is steadily and
rapidly taking the place once held by
England as the world's great work-
shop.
Practically no other people carica-
ture themselves in just the way the
English and the American people do.
Frenchmen, indeed, picture a great
many kinds of ridiculous Frenchmen.
and Germans make absurd Germans in
large variety, and so on. Frenchmen
not infrequently depict the Gallic cock,
and give us representations of the
idealized France in female guise, as
\vc‘also have Columbia and Britannia.
But Frenchmen do not really adopt
our Johnny Crapaud as the type, of
their race, nor do the Germans take
kindly to our modernized Gambrinus
as their proper representative. The
Anglo-Saxon race appears to have a
sort of mocking self-consciousness all
its own. John Bull and Brother Jou-
athan are admirable developments of
this consciousness, and are not likely
to die soon.
Consul General Goodnow, writing
tunity to study the Nicaraugan Canal
question from the other'end, thinks
the United States should buy a strip
of land across Nicarauga and “build
tile canal on~our own territory." There
is wisdom in this suggestion. It is a
settled principle in'this country that,
if the canal is ever built, the United
States must control it; but, in the pro-
verbially uncertain state of both Nice
araguan and international politics, the
only way to insure control of anything
on Nicaraguan soil is to own it abso-
lutely. As for the canal itself, Mr.
Goodnow argues that if we are to
maintain our trade relations with the
Orient, it will be a necessity in order
to let our vessels go through from the
Atlantic to the Pacific quickly-and eco-
nomically. .
Secretary Long holds that, while our
naval power will expand naturally in
keeping with our- territorial growth,
“it ii daubtful if. we should develop it
as England doel, because, from our
geographical position, there is not the
bame‘necessity.” _0ur geographical po-
sitlod is the some as England’s—be
tween ,two oceans. Our larger size
glvesius an advaxltage, inasmuch as we
ourselves; while England must send
fibroid for them and must have mer?
chant vessels to carry them and war
ships‘jto protect her cfinmerce. -In an-
other‘sense, however, and this is prob-
ably the one intended by Secretary
Long, our position is different, since
we are separated from the jealous
Powe’rs of Continental Europe by
thousands of miles of water, while
England has-them at her door. For
this reason, and also because we have
heretofore held aloof from European
politics and thus have avoided making
enemies, we have not needed a very
sailon‘ of Hawaii, or Porto Rico and or
footholds in Asiatic waters. have
changed our relation to the whole
world, Europe included. We provoke
more _jealousy ‘now than we didnbeforc
and tire more exposed to assault; be-
sides "which, our new relations make it
a larger share in file management of
the world's aifoirs. . For these reasons.
we must have a. strong navy—knot so
strong as England's, perhaps, but
much stronger than twins we have

The lifilitamy Cloak.
New traveling wraps for lengthy
journeys are military cloaks, quite as
long as an ulster, to be worn with or
without a cape. The fronts are semi-
ioose, and the backs fitted and some-
times belted. Many of these wraps
are made of army-blue cloth, and the
fronts are fastened with medium-sized
gilt buttons. The deep cape is fast-
ened by and trimmed with stitched
straps of the‘ cloth and is alone a. suffi-
cient wrap for many occasions. Check-
ed and striped cloths, lightly and
roughly woven, and otners of dark
color and finer grain, said to be abso—
lutely waterproof, are made in redin-
gote style, much after the fashion of
coachmen’s coats, with and without
shoulder-capes, and will be used for
traveling and morning walks. .

Vino}, the new tonic reconstructor, is being
talked of in papers not only in this country.
but abroad. Vinol is recognized as a bone.
tide discovery and is prescribed as such by
the best physicians. Now that we are able to
get the active curative principles from the cod’s
liver, free from the grease and vile-smelling
fat, we have taken great strides towards even-
tually eliminating wasting diseases.
Mr. M. F. Flynn, the well known chemist
of Eavorhill, Mass, speaking of the wide-
spread popularity of Vino}, says :—
“In my experience as a chemist I have
never known of an article that has been so
widely commented upon as has been Vinol.
The fact that the Lancet of London, one of the
leading medical journals of the world, has
spoken so highly of this discovery, should
in itself be a. guarantee of its efficacy.”
We do not think it strange that Vinol is be-
ing talked about. Nothing before ever gave
such satisfaction and no remedy has ever
been discovered that proved from the very
start the truth of all that has been claimed for
it. as has Vinol Yours very truly,
Special Vinoi representative.
