Many a man would starve if he had nothing to live on but his repu tation. One more hymn then the blessing. A «destroyer looms up out of the creeping mists of evening, slows down, listens for a few minutes, exâ€" chm_:ges signals, and then is off again to continue that watch which is first cousin to prayer. The menâ€" listen to the padre, quiet, intent, and let one who know them add they will be as serene and quiet in that day, it may be but a few hours, when the cruiser moves on at full speed, while crews stand at the guns, men wait in the amâ€" munition passages, the captain in the conning tower the gunnery ofâ€" ficer in the fire control, the engines whirling at mad speed, while stokâ€" ers in the depths below "oil" and "fecl‘" and shovel and rake as the cruiser rushes into action. Much has been written about the religious and irreligious condition of our bluejackets. In the tracts which ask for money to missionize ‘him he is either represented as a demiâ€"god of a demijohn. The "poor Jack"‘ order of pamphlet is resentâ€" ed by the whole of the navy, from admiral to A.B. Everyone by this time ought to know that a blueâ€" jacket is a highly trained, intelliâ€" gent man, disciplined and. respon sible. A drunkard has no place in His Majesty‘s navy. The chaplain gives a short adâ€" dress on 8t. Michael, warrior, archâ€" angel, champion of the chivalry of heaven. It is not a "Save your soul toâ€"night‘"" discourse. He identifies himself with the men, speaks of the soldier qualitiee of St. Michael, tells them what the swordâ€"bearer of God stands for, and appeals to them to stand for the same : indeed, he takes it for granted, so he can. In those faces one reads the tale of what is known in the navy as "a happy ship.‘"‘ The captainâ€"a fine figure, alert, with a penetrating eye and clearâ€" cut featuresâ€"reads the lesson reâ€" verently, and the {aces of the ship‘s company turn to him. The men lisâ€" ten with keen interest in a story which tells of a nation‘s struggles and desperate defence. The men‘s voices are uplifted in the response, augmented this time by a chorus of seagulls. With the first hymn they started a shrill soâ€" ries of cries, but now they have got into their stride. There is the ground bass of the distant waters, the whispering swish of the caressâ€" ing waves blending with the voices of some hundreds of men, but softly dominant is the song of the sean. Truly there were visualized and actualized the opening words of the Benedictus, "O all ye works of the Lord, bless ye the Lord, prnise; ‘him and magnify himforever." And around us and upholding us the moving mystery of the sea, fit symbol of God and His protecting arms. The service is a shortened form of evensong with the special prayâ€" ers used daily in His Majesty‘s navy, to be found in any prayer book. whole ship‘s company is mustered, men are wedged into all kinds of uncomfortable places, chairs are placed for the officers. The Favorite Hymn. The chaplain appearg, accompaniâ€" ed by the captain. The latter seats himself facing the ship‘s company, the chaplain steps to the improvisâ€" ed praycrâ€"desk and gives out a hymn. 1t might have been an order} to open fire so quick is the response, as from lusty lungs there rolls out the soldiers‘ and sailors‘ favorite, ‘‘Fight the Good Fight."

Quicksilver has risen from $35 to $100 or more a flask (seventyfive pounds). According to the Mining World, that is by far the highest price for mercury in modern times. The annual production is about 4,100 metric tons. _ The United States and Austriaâ€"Hungary proâ€" duce each about oneâ€"sixth of this amount, Italy a little more, and Spain nearly oneâ€"third. The war in FEurope has shut off the Austrian supply, and made it â€" «dlifficult to transport the product of Italy and Bpain. It has also caused a greatly increased demand for mercury, which is now principally used jn the manufacture of fulmingte for explosive caps, Mercury is also used extensively in drugs and medigaments, and in thermometers and instrument of precision,. â€" Forâ€" merliv a considerable amount of quicksilver was used in silvering mirrors, and in the amalgamation process of extracting gold and â€"!â€" ver from their ores ; but mirrors are now silvered with nitrate of silver, and the cyanide process has virtualâ€" ly supplanted the amalgamaitic»a process in meta‘lurgy. is bound up with his children‘s descendants, how his yearnings reflected in them, and how they punished for his errors.â€"Ivan ‘ gene . Judgment is a possession of enorâ€" mous value to a nation, and in proâ€" portion as it contains men of judgâ€" ment, in direct pr&)ot&iun will that nation prosper. hat is it that I mean by judgment in public afâ€" fairs?

If God permit the lid of evil to be lifted as a test or as a punishâ€" ment the key remains in His hand to secure that lid again when He will. But if I lift any lid of evil I have no power to shut off the dire escape from myself or from others; death and defilement 1 may let loose, but 1 cannot recapture.â€"C, G. Rossetti.
