on a few of the matters which have caused the shipping rates of all parts of the world to tumble and Norwegian owners feel the effects of poor rates inany portion of the world quickly as their vessels are trading everwhere.  One finds them carrying American wheat and canned goods from the Sund cuntry to Europe, lumber to South Africa, cargoes from every part of Europe to South Africa, iron wood from Australia to Cape Colony, and in dozens of other capacities which keep them away from their home ports for years at a stretch.

            Another thing that causes the Andromeda to go by the boards is that Norwegian shipowners are loaded up on barks.  For years they have been purchasing barks by the dozens from England and other countries and they consequently have too many of this class of vessel on their hands while many of them would like to dispose of their big sailing fleets and invest their money in tramp steamers and it would be hard today to find a Norwegian sailing master whose ambition is not to some day be in command of a steamer.

 

BURIED HIS FRIEND IN DEEP BLUE SEA

            Few sea captains entering this port are better liked than good hearted Captain Ames of the freighter Tampico.  But Ames is not himself this time.  He is all broken up.  In Seattle one of his oldest friends, W. B. Maxwell, a wealthy business man, wished to make the trip to Honolulu with the captain, and so the obliging skipped gave him the feathered and easy job of purser.

            All went well fo rthe first five days of the voyage, and Captain Ames enjoyed his friend's company.  Then on the evening of the next day Mr. Maxwell fell down the companionway leading from the Captain's office on the bridge to the saloon on the main deck.  Mr. Maxwell was not bruised, but despite the most careful treatment that could be given an injured man, he died the next morning.

            Then Captain Ames, with tears in his eyes, superintended the work of storing his friend's body away in its canvas coffin.  A gale of wind was blowing @

 

ABRAHAM NO MYTH.

To Demonstrate It, Hilprecht Shows a Little Cameo.

            A little cameo tablet was the central point in Dr. Hilprecht's thrid lecture on the University Babylonian expeditions in the Epiphany Baptist Church.

            A photograph of this table, 4,600 years old, was thrown on the screen, and then the great archaeologist proceeded to demonstrate from it that Abraham, the father of the Christian, Jew and Mohammedan faiths, was ot a myth, but a reality, as the Bible teaches.

            The tablet was inscribed on both sides and was found in the great temple of Baalrat Nippur.  The writing on one side dated back to 2650 B. C.   Then came some great calamity and the little tablet was carried by its finder to the city of Suza, and about 1300 B. C. the Kind of Babylon wrote this inscription on the back of it, presenting it to the chief goddess of Nippur for the preservation of his life.

            About a thousand years later, as shown by the raw cuttings, a Parthian jeweler, searching for material, fund it and was going to cut it into beads for a necklace when (as centuries before) another calamty fell upon Babylon, and at last, 3000 years later, the Pennsylvania expedition found it and brought it home.

            "These tablets," said the lecturer, "tell their story simply and conclusively that no scholar has ever raised a doubt.  Abraham, with his family, left the same region, departed from his fatherland, which the Elamites had turned into a desert and made a camping ground for their armies.  The Bible has told this story very briefly.  The little stone from Nippur, wandering about for 5000 years, is accepted as a matter of course.  The men of who it speaks have truly lived, but Abraham, of the same time, his history supported by millions over all the world, is just as historical, yet thousands treat him as a myth."

            In describing the finding of thousands of tablets in the Temple of Baal the doctor stated that they were discovered at various depths.  In fact, the last temple or fortress, 300 B. C. to 200 A. D., was built on the ruins of the older temples, the earliest being of the reign of Sargon, 3800 B. C.—Philadelphia Press.

 

CARIB CANNIBALS.

            A recent Colonial report on the Caribs of Dominica is interesting.  Very mysterious is the origin of the fierce savages, now almost extinct, who were in possession of the smaller West Indian islands when the first white man burst "into that silent sea."  They showed a distinct Mongolian character, and it would be hard to distinguish a Carib infant from a Chinese child.  Some twenty years ago a Cinaman, who had drifted to Dominica, declared the Caribs to be his own people, and married a pure bred Carib woman.  The resultant child showed no deviation from the native type.  Today they have droppped their man-eating ways; but in the sixteenth century they scoured the Spanish Main in search of human food, and from Porto Rico alone have said to have taken more than five thousand men to be eaten.  Though Spaniards, Frenchmen, Dutchmen, negroes, or Arrowaks, were all meat to them, yet these Caribs seem to have shown preference for certain nationalities.  Davis, for instance, in his "History of the Caribby Islands," tells us that "the Caribbeans have test of all the nations that frequented them, and affirm that the French are the  most delicate, and the Spaniards are hardest of digestion." Laborde, also, in one of his jaunts in St. Vincent, appears to have overtaken, on the road, a communicative Carib who was beguiling the tedium of his journey by gnawing at the remains of a boiled human foot.  This gentleman only ate Arrowaks.  "Christians," he said, "gave him the belly ache."

 

BIG TIPS IN ST. PETERSBURG.

            Speaking of high prices, Henry Norman's new book on Russia throws some interesting light on what it incidentally costs to visit St. Petersburg.  To begin with, he tells us every house and hotel there contains a swarm of servants, and each one expects a tip.  The man who takes your coat and hat at a private house thinks ten cents is little enough, and if you give a dollar or two to the attendant who performs the same modest service at an official residence he is only satisfied.  The tips of a wealthy Russian to a waiter at a good restaurant are something enormous.  A decent room in a first-class hotel costs about $4 a day, and a closed carriage to take you to dinner, ten minutes drive away, costs $5.  A few sheets of note paper in your hotel costs you a shilling, and the cheapest kind of a bath $1.  Mr. Norman is a great traveler, and it is his testimony that St. Petersburg is far and away the most expensive city in the world.

 

OLD MEN WORKERS.

            Men of thought have always been distinguished for their age.  Colon, Sophocles, Pinder, Anacreon, and Xenophon were octogenarians.  Kant, Buffon, Goethe, Fontenelle and Newton were over 80.  Michael Angelo and Titian were 89 and 99 respectively.  Harvey, the discoverer of the circulation of the blood, lived to be 80.  Many men have done excellent work after they have passed 80 years.  Landor wrote his "Imaginary Conversations" when 85; Isaak Walton wielded a ready pen at 90.  Hahnemann married at 80 and was still working at 91.  Michael Angelo was still painting his giant canvases at 89, and Titian at 90 worked with the vigor of his early years.  Fontenelle was a light hearted at 98 as at 40, and Newton at 83 worked as hard as he did in middle life.  Cornaro was in far better health at 95 than at @ and as happy as a sandboy.  At Hanover Dr. Du Bolsy was still practising as a physician in 1897, going his @ily rounds at the age of  103.  William Reynold Salmon, M. R. C. S., of  Cambridge, Glamorganshire, died on March 11, 1897, at the age of  106.  At the time of his death he was the oldest known individual of indisputably authenticated age, the oldest physician, the oldest member of the Royal College of Surgeons, England, and the oldest Free Mason in the world.—Chamber's Journal.

 

PLANTS THAT COUGH.

            Man has not a monopoly of coughing.  Before there was a vertebrate on the earth, while man was in process of evolution through the vegetble world, Etada tussiens—that is what botanists call him, while we know him as "the coughing bean"—coughed and blew dust out of his lungs.  Recently botanists have been giving special attention to this bean, and tell interesting things about it.  It is a native of warm and moist tropical countries, and objects most emphatically to dust.  When dust settles on the branching pores in the leaves of the plant and chokes them a gas accumulates inside, and when it gains sufficient pressure  there comes an explosion with a sound exactly like coughing and the dust is blown from its lodgment.  And, more strange still, the plants gets red in the face through the effort.

 

WANTED TO SAVE TROUBLE.

            A British major was sent some years ago to establish order in a small town in Africa which had been placed temporarily in charge of the local military commandant, a man who had risen rapidly from the positin of storekeeper and who, not satisfied with his official elevation, had elevated himself on the day the major arrived by drinking too much.  The first act of the major was to place the commandant under lock and key, but the inebriate managed to burst his bonds and invade the telegraph office, from which place he dispatched this wire to the colonial office:  "Chamberlain, London:  Man here named Thorold questions my sobriety.  Who is Thorold?  Wire at once to avert bloodshed."

 

            School teachers and other responsible persons on these Islands that have a little spare time can hear of something to their advantage by writing to Geo. Osborne, Paauilo, Hawaii.

IT'S THE TRUTH

            Tell a man it's a food and he doesn't want to pay for it.  Tell him it's a medicine and he says it doesn't look like it.  Then tell him it's both a food and a medicine and he thinks you're playing some game on him.

            Yet these are the facts about Scott's Emulsion of pure cod-liver oil.  It is the cream of cod-liver oil, the richest and most digestible of foods.  The food for weak stomachs.  The food for thin bodies and thin blood.

            But that's only half the story.  Scott's Emulsion is also a good medicine.  It gives new @ and vigor to the whole system and especially to the lungs.
