Be a Banker. What more delightful and enjoyable | in the whole range of mmmndane plea ' sures than a voyage on the broad, ever-changing oeean. There is no mo- notony on the sea. In her most plac id moods, when the rippling wavelets, scarce stirvedd by the evening zephyr, reflect the golden rays of the fast dis- | appearing orb of day sinking beneath | the glowing horizon, and the dancing expanve is glittering in a wealth of #parkling diamonds, and emeralds and ; sapphires, reflected from the many- hued glories of the 'western sky, then perhaps is she at her very best Or, when the twilight has faded away, and the full-orbed queen of night has risen in her rangi} splendor, and } in a seintiliating tofrent of molten silver, which glistens and flashes ina very fairy vision of beauty; perhaps, too, in this peaceful wood she is als) most equally attractive. Or again, when thé freshening breeze has raised long rolling billows, their crests of snow white foam contrasting with the deep blue of the curling surge, and cleaves hir way, now climbing the watery. ridges, mow sliding down their 'undulating = steeps, while the bright sun, and the invigorating breeze all unite in creating a feeling of exhilaration such as is seldom at« tainable on land, then perhaps to those who love her, is the glorious rolling deep in her gladdest mood; animating the voyager, who perhaps is ing recreation and rest frem a spell of weary brain work, with 'a thrill of real pleasure, exquisite and almost ecstatic. Bat '4 times, When the old sea is in an angry mood, when a hurricane is tearing hér in fury and rage, and clpaying mighty mountains of wrath- ful waters, which threaten to engulf the vessel which has the temerity to venture into that tornado of beiling surge, then even the hardiest of voy- agers anxiously awaits the passing of the storm. For truly it is a scene al- most of terror when the vials of the wrath of angered nature are poured ont on the great ocean; when the flat Yas gone forth, and the winds are let joose in their fury, and she is torn into a Very paroxysm of frenzied rage. Each mighty blow from those tower ing upheaved masses of foaming wat ers causes the straining ship to quiv: er and tremble from stem to stern. Now she is laboriously climbing up the agueons rolling mountain now descending the yawning guli- down, down, as though she would plunge in to the lowest depths of the watery aby#s, sorrounded and imprisoned as ough within the valley of the sha: Ww. i And now the raging Inirficane is playing havoc with the quivering ves: sel.

Disease Increasing Steady Growth eof Epidemic--Deaths iz the Punjab in March Were 42,788, Compared With 51% in All of 1900. London, Jume 24.-A government statement regarding the coadition of India in respect to the plague from its first outbreak in Bombay in Sep- tember, 1806, to March, 1902, shows a total of reported deaths from the di sease during that period of 386.500 in the Bombay presidency' and 315,400 in other parts of hadia, or a total of 852,000 for she whole of British In- dia and the native states. Making al- lpwance for umtraced and unreported deaths, it is caloulated that a million died during the tod mentioned, During the firsy three months of 192, the deaths reppried in the Bom- bay presidency were 62,667, comparal with 17,806 in the corresponding pe period of 1901. Other parts of Imlia show a corrésponding jncrease, espe cially in ihe Punjab, where the deaths in 1900 were 515; in 1904, 15,245 while in the first month of 1902, the figures have risen enormonsly, the deaths re- ! ported in March alone numbering 42, 88 WONDERFUL SOUTH AMERICA Little of it is Known on Northern Continent. Ainslee's Magazine. 4 We in America are profoundly igaor ant about South America, We know almost nothing of its, scenic wonders; our share in iis exploration is insigni- ficant; what juformation the world has of its flora and fauna has bewn leaned by Eupopeans mainly; our nowledge of its ethnology also comes from them, and the same may be suid of the history of its people in the century, and it is Euro pean, and not American, capital that has opened up ite wildernesses, built its cities a railroads, and estab- lished ite industries.

Locomotive Works Company Add- ing Sprinkling System. The Canadian" locomotive works company had a communication belure the city council last! evening, asking that a ten-inch water main be laid in Ontario. street, in ander to facaish adequate fire priidction to the com: pany's works. The present six-inch wan was not of sufficient capacity to furnish water for a proposed Wprink- ling system which the company in tends erecting throughout its works at a cost of S120. If the city com plied with the request, its outlay would not be more than onc seven teenth of that which the company would incur by reason of putting in the new system. Ald. King informed council that it would cost between §!.000 and £1,100 to comply with the company's re- quest, In the first place the water works committee had not the money available, and in the second e, the cost of such improvement should not be borne by the water 'donsumers, but by the citizens as a whole. The best plan which could be resorted to would be to issue debentures, if the company would guarantee the interest on the same, which would be about $60 a year. He moved that the request of the company be complied with, that debentures be issued and that the company be taxed with the interest on the same. Ald. Walkem supported the resolu tion; it was the only possible way in which the work could be done. The water works department was without an income; it was bled too much 'by the council. Ald.Graham considered that the city would not be giving the locome- tive works anvthing if the company was saddled with an annual charge of 860 for twenty years. The putting in of a ten-ineh main in Ontario street woul be a benfit to the locality; there were other industries and big warehouses in the district that would be benefitted by the enlarged improv ed system, Ald. Tait toos ithe ground that it would be an injustice to the water consumers to saddle them with the cost of the improvement asked for hy the company. He would support the scheme outlined by Ald. King Ald. Beban pointed out that present water system was unfair water consumers. The whole benefitted by the fire protection, the wate for which was paid for by the consumers. The consumers also paid for all the water used tn sprinkling the streets. When the company was willing to iarantee the permanent location of the works here at so great an outlay, it was a small matter to ask them to pay so trifling a sum ax $60 a year. Al King would like to give the cumpany all it asked for, but the fin ances of the department would not stand the outlay. it would be pos rible for the company to come back t council in the course of a few years and ask to be relieved of the charge, and no doubt council would comply. The resolution * presented 'by Al King was finally adopted. the 3} city HE DID HIS BEST. The Energy of America's Greatest Watchmaker, Bucoess. Not very many years ago, I. H. Church was an itinerant watchmaker-- a very good workman, to be sure, bit just a plain artisan. Of a roving na ture, he leit the east, where he was born half a century ago, and. sought fortune in the west. In St. Paul he met a. watchmaker named Gridley, from whom he learned his trade. While working at his bench one day, Gridley stopped to examine a watch' Church had been at work on. "Te that thé hest you can do?" he asked. "Maybe I might do a little better," Church, . "Then, young man,' said Gridley, 'you just begin and do it all over again, and remember this : Never leave a piece of work until you have done the best you know how to do." The great watchmaker began achieve success from that day. He has always done his best. Leaving St Paul, he drifted about the west, work- ing at his trade. He wanted to travel, and found a place with a watch com pany as an "advance agent" for its make of watches. He was to travel ahead of the sales agents, proclaiming the praises of their wares. After four weeks on the road, he went back to the Chicago office and turned in the watches he was carrying. "Here's your truck," he said to the manager. 'I am tired of trying to make other folks believe things about these watches that J don't believe myself." "Could you make any better watches ?" asked the manager, jokingly. "MH 1 couldn't, I wouldn't call myseli a watchmaker." "I'll take you at your word. TH set you to work in the shops, to see what you can do." That was twenty years ago. Mr Church had not been Jone in the fae tory before it was found that he was a rare 3 He told his ewmblovers that thir watches cost too much make.
