The Balance Sheet iu ciuded the profit and loss, nxervc, and other ed a copy. As the members were the owners they themselves elected the auditors at a lull eeting. "The economic set-up oi Den- mark is such that it is practically impossible for anyone to amass great wealth," says our author That is because the bulk oi the profits. which in other countries go to the biuinbss people. are returns-i to the producers. That means, of course. that the farmers snd laborers sre the ruling classes in Denmark, for economic power always carries with it political power. ‘The “common peopie“—the vast majority of the Danes-have slowly mode up their minds to oontroLths their living, and "to maitc machinery oi liie subordinate to the spirit oi lie." Slowly have they learned to do this; for a true co- operative mind is not gained in a day. The paper now takes what may view or the country.

There are numberlcss romances dealing with the activities of the Cornish "Wreckers," who in their day built themselves a notorious reputation; but there can be no doubt that other parts of the king- dom were equally zealous, if not‘ equally criminal, in gathering this, "harvest of the sea."

From an old book entitled “Black- thaPs Briefie Narration," written in the seventeenth century, we gather that the Islanders were redoubtable wreckers. The author says: “He (the Governor o.‘ the Island)told us how the common people there do pray for shippes which they sec in danger. They ai sit down upon their knees, and hold up their handes, and say very devotely, ‘Lord. send her to us; God, send her to us.’ ‘You,’ said he, seeing them upon their knees, and their hands Joyn- ed, do think that they are praying for your sauveiie, but their mynds are far from that.

He was got by g, Highland Society Jirst prize 51ml- lion. and his dam was at Highland Society first prize mareNot only so. but his sire.

Here in the tall red tower. eighty-five feet Grace Darling by name, lived for the greater part of her brief life. and from this rock she and her father rowed forth to the rescue of the nine surviving passengers of the steamer Forfarshire. This is the story of the gallant deed. On Wednesday, the 5th of September, 1838, the Forfarshlle. a vessel oi three hundred tons burden, sailed from Hull, with 41 passengers and 22 of a crew. Their destination was Dundee in Scotland, but ill-luck soon mniested itself: while off Fiamborough Head the boilers be- gan to leak and with fires half extinguished the vessel struggled northward through a rising storm. Off St. Abb‘s Head. the ship he- came unmanageable, and drifted southward with thp tide, and in a dense fog, at three o'clock on the Friday morning. with a tremend- ous craeh. she struck on a. rock called the Harcar, about half a. mile south of the Lcngstonc. Eight oi the crew and one passenger got away in a boat, and succeeded, a‘.- most miraculously, in gaining the open sea; they were picked up and taken to the Tyne. As the baa‘. dis- appeared, a huge tea struck the vessel, separating it inlo two parts, and sweeping away the stern, quar- ter-deck and cabins, with the ma]- ority of the passengers and crew. The fore-part of the vesel remain- ed on the rock. pounded by the heavy seas; and at this juncture the captain, who held his invalid wife in his arms, was washed over- practicaliy without a rival, being six years older than Darnley.

Various theories have been advanc- cd as to her origin. and the fact that the appearance of Prince of head Wales especially about the indicated an English strain in his blood has doubtless had something to do with the formation of an opinion held in many quarters that both his granddams came from the South. Oh the whole when breeding had been gone into tilor- oushiy it was testified that mare traced her Origin to Cufnbgf- land and her sire was supposed to have been Merry Tom 532. The authority for the above statement W85 a Mr. Wilson, at one time man- ager at Wellshot, who pigrchgged the mare from one William Griffin, horse dealer, Newton Mearns, Ren- iffiwohire. and was aware at the time of purchase that Mr. Griffin had purchased her at Dumfries.

He then passed into the hands of Mr. David Riddell, Black- hali. Paisley. who sold him to a Mr. Drew. He remained‘ in that Belllleme-Ifs possession until Mr. Drew's death, and at the Men-y- ton dispersion sale held consequent on that event, on April 7th, 1884. he was sold by public auction when eighteen years old. fol- nine hund. red guineas, equal to foul- thousand, sol/on hundred and twenty live dollars, and again became the property of Mr. Riddeli in whose possession he died in 188B, aged twenty two years.
