Our Navy.

The navy of this country is becoming a
very powerful arm of the National defense.
There are in active service 5jS steamers,
with an aggregate tonnage of 10S, 900 tons,
against the original 26 steamers and 40, 200
tons, which the war commenced. OF this
number 2o5 steamers, with an aggregate of
al tons, have been built by the Department
The additions which are being made to our
navy, are vessels Of the first class. which will
largely increase its efficiency and power
there are seven wooden steamers, two
built by outside parties, the others at the
naval ship yards, of 5000 tons, intended to
have a speed of sixteen knots an hour
They will carry immense batteries, be full
rugged, and will doubtless prove the fastest
and most formidable ocean cruisers ever
built by any power There are also in pro-
gress of building by the Department twenty
rstclass wooden screw steamers of two
thousand two hundred tons each, to have
sneed OF thirteen knots, carrying enormous
batteries, and be full-rigged for ocean cruis
crs. They will be soon completed. There
have just been completed eight screw steam
ers Of 5S3tons each. The machinery is from
the designs. of various parties building to
compete with the Department. The first
three, having the Departments machinery,
have been thoroughly tried, and can maintain
a speed Of III knots. There are now near
y completed the wooden iron clad coast
steamers Tonowando, Montonomah, Aga
menticus, and Monadnock, OF l!G4 tons,
drawing y feet Of water, and having two
turrets each, carrying two IS inch guns
The Monadnock has been tried, and is found
capable Of achieving maximum speed of
l knots. Four other iron clads Of the same
type, but larger and faster, being 5000 tons,
are being constructed. The Monitor iron
clads constructed number II, and have an
aggregate tonnage of rs, 100. That this
powerful navy should have been created
within three years, when the means at com
mand were at the beginning only about two
dozen machine shops, some Of them without
tools, machinery and workmen, fitted for
the work required, proves how readily the
skill of the country can adapt itself to the
circumstances required, and how great are
the resources Of the nation to supply any of
its wants

Transmission of Money by Mail.

The postal money order system was put
INTO operation in some of the cities, and at
other designated points throughout the
country, on the LIST of November. 1t is in
tended to promote public convenience by
aiiording cheap, immediate, and safe
agency for the transmission through the
mails of small sums of money for which
bank drafts cannot readily be procured
The mode by which safetyis secured consists
in leaving out of the order the name of the
payee or party for whom the money is in
tended. In this respect money orde: diff.
ters from an ordinary bank draft or check.
When money order is applied for, the
postmaster will furnish the applicant with
printed form Of application, in which the
latter will enter all the particulars of amount,
name, address, Nc, required to be stated in
the money order and advice. From items
contained in such application the postmas.
ter will fill up the money order, and also the
corresponding form of advice
The order, when completed is handed to
the applicant, upon payment Of the sum ex-
pressed therein, and of the fee chargeabe
thereon, which fee must invariably be paid
in money, postage stamps not being receiva
bic therefor. BY the mail Immediately fol-
lowing the issue of q money order, the post
master transmits the corresponding advice
to the postmaster at the Office upon which it
is drawn. The letter is thus furnished, be-
fore the order itself can be presented, with
all necessary information to detect fraud, if
any should be attempted.
Any office may draw upon any ether Office
in the list of money order Offices, for sum,
upon the order, from one dollar to thirty
dollars. But when larger sum than the
latter is required, additional orders to make
it up must be obtained.
Rates of commission charged for money
orders.
On orders not exceeding $40 10 cents.
Over $40 and not exceeding 500 Is cents
Over $50 and up to $3.50 20 cents.
No money will be received for orders ex
cept coin, United States notes, or notes of
the National banks, and orders cannot be
paid in any other currency. A money order
is rendered invalid unless it is presented to
the postmaster on whom it is drawn within
ninety days from its date but the Postmas
ter General can issue rev order on the
application of the payee upon the payment
o. "a second fee. The same course is to be
pursued in case the order is lost. In this
case, the payee is to furnish a statement,
under oath, that the order has been lost or
destroyed, accompanied by the certificate Of
the postmaster that it has not been paid, and

Why is it, asked lady that so many men

have become thoroughly accustomed to each

which both played off so skituIlv before

seem to think that nothing remains but the

Monster Bells.

Russia is pre- eminently the country of
great bells, where they may be heard in full
vigor, not ''swingng slow with sulen roar
for they are too heavy to be swung, but in
ccssantly tolling and booming, and dcafcn-
most worship their bells. In Moscow alone,
before the revolution, there were ], 100 large
bells, which number has increased now to
5000. The Great Bell of Moscow, of which
every one has heard, was cast in 1903, by
order of the Empress Anne. Its weight is
NariouSIy estimated at from 800, 900 to 40,
900 pounds. 1t is u feet 3 inches high. and
about - feet in diameter at the mouth IN
1887, The Car Nichoias caused it to be taken
out of the pit in which it lay, and to be
placed upon the granite pedestal as i is now
seen. Upon its side is seen the figure of the
Empress Anne, in flowing robes. 1t has

Constant Employment.

The man who is obliged to be constantly
employed to earn the necessities of life and
support his family knows not the unhappi
ness he prays for when he desires wealth
and ideness. To be constantly busy is to
DO always happy. Persons who have sud
denly acquired wealth, broken up their
active pursuits, and began to live at their
ease, waste away and die in very short
time. Thousands would have been blessings
to the world, and added to the common
stock of happiness, if they had been content
to remain in an humble sphere, and earned
every mouthtul of food that nournshed their
bodies. But, no; fashion and wealth took
possession of them, and they were com
pletely ruined. They ran away from peace
and pleasure, and embraced a lingering
death. Ye who are signing for the pomp
and splendor of life, beware! Ye know not
what We wish. Persons who are always
busy, and go cheerfully to their daily tasks,
are the least disturbed by fluctuations of
business, and at night sleep with perfect
composure. The idle and the rich are sell
dom. ever contented. They are petuant,
fearful, irrascible. Bid them good morning
and they scow. Nature and art appear to
have few attractions for them. They are
entirely out of their views. While in this
state the springs of life are rusting out, and
the decay Of death has commenced under
mining their constitutions.

linen rag, and applied to the tumor and its
circumference three or four times daily

numerous cases derived great benefit from
the employment Of this means, he must in
