The CHAIRMAN (Mr. J. PRENTICE) said that the Directora wrote to Mr. Phillips saying that they were perfectly satisfied with the manage ment of the Company. If the work was not in the port, how could they get it. Without four of contradiction he maid that they had done considerably more than the other people; and ships did not go past them so much now. Mr Phillips had spoken about the Yangteepoo Dock. He considered that they had great deal of courage to build such a dock when the Dock and Engineering Co.'s docks were empty for half the year, Before saying that it was a great success Mr. Phillips should wait until the end of the year.

Mr. PALLIP-I hardly said it was a great success. I said "started successfully."

How were we to secure ourselves against possible foreign attacks? We had no other means but the maintenance of our superiority at ses. Our ses power could not primarily be an engine of attack Behind our Navy we had no great Army for the invasion of a foreign country. Our superiority at sea was necessary to prevent us from being invadel by the other Powers which had got great Armies. There- fore, to aroid conquest, superiority at sen was essential for our national preservation.

THE PASSION FOR ROUND NUMBERS.

Speculation is busy with the value of the Rogers estate. There are no authoritative figures announced. The bequests, as well as other things, indicate large property holdings, Mr. Rogers early developed talents for business, prospered in all his undertakings, worked hard, and lived to be an oil man. His place was with the great captains of industry, who, neder our favourable American conditions, have piled wealth pretty high.

When moh man dies, the public, long familiar

his with

name and stories of his exploite, must have an estimate at least | of what he has left. It expects a big sum, and is never disappointed. Those who preside over such business are always generous in

allotment of wealth.

In the case of Mr. Rogers the estimate is accredited to Wall street. He operated in that quarter, and was a power there. Who should know so well about the matter se those with whom Mr. Rogers associated?

Every year after the winter storms wreckage is washed ashore and mysteries, for few mementoes bear evidence of the ship whereof the wreckage comes. Now it is only the dangers of the sea and the rock-strewn const that are to be met. In previous years the Indians of the coast also offered dangers to the enfarer. The entting out of the old for trading ships Boston and Tonguin and the slaughters on board are matters of history. It is only within the past forty years that white men have told of the disasters of the graveyard of ships. Since then there have been many wrecks; the Dominion Caradoc, Celtic Bard, Andrada, Bertha, Cape Wraik, and many others have lorg eines been posted at Lloyd's as missing, and excepting in the case of the Dominion, the nameboard of which was found, there was nothing but eir cumstantial evidence on which to base the theory, that the Vancouver roast was the scene of their fate.

TALE OF A FILIPINO STATION-MASTER,

Commissioner Worcester, says a Manila con- temporary, tells the following interesting story of the care of a station agent of the Vaniin Railroad Company for the interests of the company.

The Commissioner was on his way to Manila from his recent northern trip and was bringing with him a cat, a valuable pet which Mrs. Worcester greatly prized. It was safely packed in a spacious basket and handed over in the station agant, who issued a bill of lading for it in exchange for the sum of 75 contavos. This all occurred on the eve of departure for anila. During that same night Mes, Grimalkin added to her family circle bringing into the world four more of her spécies. Early the next morning the cries of the kittens attracted the attention of the station master, who promptly declared the bill of lading wall and void and made out another with the additional charge of 75 centavos per head for each of the newcomers. Commissioner Worcester paid the amount with out protest and fetched the feline family to Maniki without further mishap.

CHILDREN AND MONEY.

NOVEL WAY OF TEACHING BUSINESS HABITS.

The following is extracted from the correspond. ence columns of a London contemporary:-

Sir,-As a practical BOBİ' thank Mr. Charles Russell for initiating a discussion upon a subject of immense practical importance. The notion that children must be kept frgo — untainted is, Į believe, the word of all knowledge of the value and use of money is by far the most pernicious of the sentimentalities and affectations that are filling England with failures.

matter of fact, girls in most ranks of society do learn from their mothers to be careful with money, but it is deplorable that boys should be brought up without any such early training.

The statement is made by Mr. Arthur Du Cros, on behalf of the Parliamentary Aerial Defence Committee, who have been quietly engaged in negotiations for some time past. Mr. Du Cros says that the airehip, which is being constructed in France, will make a trip to London before the end of the parliamentary sension.

The Evening News understands that it will arrive in England during the month of August. It will accomplish a series of visuauvres over London and elsewhere in order that the public may judge of its capabilities. Owing to the absence of a suitable garage in England, Mr. Du Cros says that the airship must return to France before trials can be carried out.

To meet this difficulty The Daily Mail has undertaken to provide a sum of £5,000 for the erection of a garage, and thus enable the public to witness extended trials.
