Don’t Lick tHe Stamp.—A Bowman- ville, Ont., doctor who went to London, England, to consult Sir Morell Mackenzie ‘for aserious affection of the root of his tongue, writes that that eminent authority is of the opinion that the trouble was caused by licking postage stamps. Licking postage stamps is a pernicious practice. It robs the ‘stamp of mucilage, which is bad for the ‘stamp, and it puts mucilage into the mouth, which is bad for the mouth. Both these evils can be avoided by moistening the cor-

| Curious Puzzie.— The following curious puzzle 1s going the rounds of the press: |Open a book at random and select a word | within the first ten lines, and within the tenth word from the end of the line. Mark the word. *Now double the number of the page and multiply the sum by five. Then add twenty. Then add the number of the line you have selected. Then add five. Multiply the sum by ten. Add the num- ber of the word to the line.

Burnep to Deatu.—On Friday last, fire broke out in an old house on Pleasant street, Moncton, eccupied by a man named Robert McGeary. The firemen were promptly on the scene, and after taking out a couple of children, Mrs. McGeary told the firemen that her sun Kdward, aged 5 years, was in the second story of the burning building. The flames had possession of the stairway, and ladders had to be run up to the second story window. The child’s cries were heard, but at first he could not be found. After some time the boy was found ina closet under the stairs, where the fire orig- inated, with most of his clothing gone and the flesh burned to a crisp. The sight was a sad one, and Mrs. McGeary went almost out of her mind on learning of the fate of

her son. ee

SecuLARISM.—On Sunday, May 12th, an animated discussion took place in Chicago, be- tween Rev. Dr. Driver and Charlies Watts. At its close the following resolution was carried unanimously :

Whereas, Dwight L. Moody has given such unwonted evidence of interest in our welfare as to present the distinguished Dr. Driver to represent hiv in this discussion,

Therefore Resolved, That we, members of the Secular Union, hereby extend to D. L. Moody, the Rev. Dr. Driver and Merton Smith our sincere thanks for their participa- tion in and the candour and fairness manifest- ed by them throughout this discussion,”

At the closes of the discussica Dr. Driver and Mr, Watts shook hands in the most friendly way, with mutual expressions of ‘e- spect and coasideration.

Britain Rules the Waves.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE MERCHANT OF THE WORLD.

NAVIES

It is interesting to note the changes which have taken place in the ocean and water carrying tonnage of the world during the past decade. In 1878 the merchant navies of the principal countries of the world a: .oted to 14,133,000 tons, which had increa.ed in 1887 to 14,414,000, show- ing what must be considered the compara- tively small increase of 262,000 tons in ten years. This, ©. .he face of it,looks as if the world’s move.wwent of merchandise had been seriously checked during the ten years mentioned. But it must be recollected that during those ten years there has been an immense increase in steam tonnage, viz: from 2,274,000 tons in 1878 to 5,820,000 tons in 1887. If we take steam tonnage as equal in carrying power to three times the amount of sailing tonnage we have an in- crease equal to 7,638,000 tons. So that the carrying power of the world’s merchant navies has incressed very greatly, even more so than in previous decades.

Great Britain is distancing all competi- tors for the carrying trade. Ten years ago 674 per cent. of the total trade of the United Kingdom was carried in British bottoms. At the end of the decade the percentage had advanced to 76.6 per cent. At the beginning of 1878 the British flag covered 43.1 per cent. of the ocean trade of the United States; the percentage has since advanced to 50.7 per cent. Great Britain increased her total tonnage in the decade by 804,000 tons. In the same period the displacement of sailing vessels by steamers was so great that her increase in steam tunnage was 1,768,000 tons. In striking contrast to this development ia the British Empire, we find that in the United States the tonnage of the mercantile marine decreased by 614,000 tons, while the in- crease in steam tonnage was only 60,900 tons.

A glance at the United States navigation tables will show how greatly the British flag has monopolized the ocean carrying trade of the United States. Nearly half the tonnage carrying cargo between the Argentine Republic and the United States was under the British flag, and there was not a single vessel flying the Stars and Stripes engaged in this trade in 1888, In the trade between Germany and the United States the Stars and Stripes floated over not one steamship, Great Britain and Ger- many doing the greater part of it. The trade between England and the United States was participated in by 100,000 tons of steam shipping flying the Stars and Stripes, while the Union Jack floated over 6,044,000 tons of English steam shipping engaged in the business. In the trade be- tween England and Scutland there was not a single United States steamship, all but a small fraction being done by vessels carry- ing the British flag. The same experience

is with Ireland as with Scotland. In the trade between Brazil and the United States 61,000 tons of steam

shipping were American 000 tons were British. So whether we study the North Atlantic trade generally the trade with the United States with other countries on this continent, or the trade of the United States with Asiatic countries, the same fact of British supremacy stands out prominent.—Ez.

About Horses

while 164,-

Axtell, the lowa colt that made a record of 2.23 as a two year old last year, is to be placed in training again after his stud sea- son is over. It is not at all improbable that Axteil will lower the record for three- year-olds, the 2.18 of Sable Wilkes being at present the best for that age. A horse that could trot in 2.23 as Axtel did when two years old is of the kind concerning which no man is safe in prophesying.

Only five of the famous brood mares in the country are out of the dams «of 2.20 trotters,|they being Beatrice (out of Patron, 2.14}), whose dam produced Elvira, 2.18}; Lady Bunker (dam of Guy Wilkes, 2.15}), whose dam produced Joe Bunker, 2.193;

Selle Patchen (dam of Baron Wilkes, 2.18)

whose dain produced Proteine, 2.18; Sable (dam of Sable Wilkes, 2.18), whose dam produced Romero, 2.194; and Susie (dam of Debury, 2.19}), whose dam produced Nettie, 2.18

Some man with a head for figures has found out that the famous old gelding Barnum has taken part in 259 races, of which he has won eighty, and having made an announcement of this fact he suggests that it is time to retire the old hero, This is very true, but it is not likely that the ad vice of the humane statistican will be fol- lowed, as Barnum is owned by a man who wants money, and as the horse is a gelding he is worth money only so long as he can be made to drag his weary legs around the half-mile tracks of New Jersey for the smali purses offered there.

Donovan, that was one of the hottest favorites ever known for the Epsom Derby, and who still stands at the head of the list for that event, was beaten the other day in the Two Thousand Guineas, but his ad- mirers are still confident that he will win the classic event contested annually on the Epsom Downs. Last year Donovan was the crack two-year-old of Europe and won more money in stakes than had ever before fallen to a colt of that age. It is in conse- quence of this record that he has been backed so heavily for the Derby by the public, and should he be defeated there will be weeping and wailing among the masses.
