The japanese Naval Students Making
good Progress.

Commodore Worden reports to the
Secretary of War that the Japanese
youths who have been admitted to the
Naval Academy st Annapolis are max
ing creditable progress. Commodore
Worden says:
"The conduct OF the Japanese stu
dents has been excellent, and 80 far
from their interfering in any way with
the discipline of the Academy, the ex-
ample they have set of amisbility and
strict regard for regulations have been
worthy of all praise. They have been
and are now subject in all respects to
tho same rule and routine a.
the cadet midshipmen of tho
Academy, even to attending morn
ing prayers and divine service on the
Sabbath. In the latter regard their
interest and respectful department is
not at all behind that of their Chris
tian fellow-students. They add moth
ing to the expenses of the academy, as
all charges are paid by their own Gov
ernment. From the character of the
young Japanese who have been admit
ted 10 the academy, the interest they
take in their studies, and their seeming
susceptibility to the influences by
which they are surrounded, I do not
think I am wrong in urging the best
results to American interests in Japan,
as well as to the common cause of
Christian civilization from the wise pro.
vision of Congress by which limited
number of her young men are permitted
to be educated ut this institution"

FRIDAY, March 15.-HousE.-Th
Steamer Fleets and Future Wars.

vernon A8ECOuIt CVutk1OUt0S W Guo
London Times an extended comparison
between the England of 1902 and the
England of 1872, and treats of one in
teresting point as follows:
I shall be told, perhaps, that steam
has altered the conditions since 1872. /!
Why, Il thought if any one thing was
more proved by experience than anoth-
er, it was that steam is all on the side
of the superior naval force. In old
days the same wind which blew off the
blockading squadron blew out the
blockaded feet. It was thus possible
for squadron to escape unobserved.
But the experience of the American
Civil War shows the infinitely
superior power OF steam
blockade. A ship here and there may
get out or in, but the escape of feet,
still less of a flotilla, without an action
would be impossible. IF steam had
existed, would Napoleon have ever got
to Egypt Conceive what would happen
if we were at war with Prussia and Rus
sia. Every hole and corner of the North
Sea would be blockaded under the GOV.
er of a superior feet, which would pro-
tect the cruisers who bear swift tidlngs
of every movement of the enemy.
How are 500 ships and the covering
feet which would be required to carry
even 50, 600 men to get away by stealth.
hear it said the British fleet il to
be decoyed away but why is it to be
deceyeds Surely We shall know where
the North Sea aotills is collected and
where the North Sea fleet lies. The
place of the British fleet will be in
front of the enemy while he is in har-
Dor, and in the midst of him when he
IS at sea. You might just - we'll talk
of the French "decoying away" the
Prussian army and then conquering
Germany; or have proposed, in 1862 to
keep loo, 600 men in Boston lest Jeffer-
son Davis should have landed q similar
force in Massachusetts. You say in
vasions have happened and may hap
pen again. Yes, sir, invasions have
happened; but there are invasions and
invasions. No such thing as the inva-
sion of England has ever happened.
All the invasions which have happened.
have heen either land invaslons or IN.
vasions where the feet of the invaded
power could not keep the sea.
No such thing has ever occurred a.
the invasion of q country which pos
sessed fleet, able, and I viii not say
to conquer, but even to show fight.
Phillip II. tried it with the Armada,
and We know what came of it. After
preparing q second Armada for two
years Napoleon was wise enough not
to attempt it. The difference between
a land and sea invasion are essential
and erradicable. You may mobilize an
army and march it over a frontier in a
fortnight, and take people unprepared.
The greatest maritime country in the
world could not provide the means for
Ne embarkation of fifty thousand men
under months no powers but Eng
land, aud perhaps France, could prob
ably do it under years of preparation.

"Dear me the father is worse than

dare face Kitty with any such PROPOSE

"Well, sir, all have to say is that
you're q mean, contemplate william, and
if you don't get ont Of my Office this

before the words was fairly ont of Mr..
Days mouth he started to make his
threat good.
Young Gilbert made a hasty retreat,
convinced that not only Kitty, but Mr..
Day, also, were partially insane.
Kitty listened demurely to her faith
er's version of the affair, and the an
athemas he hurled against her recreant
lover. Once, though, during that mar
ration she shook 20 with laughter that
he looked at her suspiciously. But she
put on at once such an air Of wretched.

pride. It was not till two years after

KITTY was married to Joe, who, I forgot
to say, was not her own cousin, though
she called him 40, but a sort Of distant

A Ballad or Callcn Water.

Forward aud backward from shore to sho,
An day the boat hath wended;
But now old Andrew drops his oar,
Al II his task were ended.
"The clouds are gathering black, he said
"The pine trees wildly tossing:
The traveller must be sore bcstead,
Who seeks tonight the crossing"
He looks, and eces from vale or hin
No lated horseman riding;
But what In this 20 white and stil,
Adown the pathway slidinga
He {eers to meet some spirit pale.
Or wrath from out the water;
He secs the Daisy of the Dale"
The proud Lord 0owen's daughter.
Oil many time that timid dove,
swift from her shadow flying,
Hath braved the darkness, al for love,
To Caiden wafer hying.
And many time before tonight
Hath Andrew rowed her over,
When softly through the waning light
She stole to meet her lover.
But that was In tho days gone by;-
Ala the old sad story
Twas ere he heard the bugje'cry,
And turned from love to glory.
Twas when her foot came down The hin
Al light - snoW-nAkes falling;
While over Calden.Water, stu,
She heard her lover calling.
She heard him singing, clear and low,
"The flower Of love lies bleeding"-
The very echoes long ago
Have ceased their tender pleading.
And he who sans their sweet refrain
10 sleeping where they found him
Upon the teampled battle plain,
With silent comrades round him.
While 6he-iof months within the vale
aAve tender maids been aiQhinQ,
Because the ''Daisy OF the Dale,
Ito sweetest doweG, was dying.
And Andrew, rowing many . night,
Hath sadly unused about her;
while from her chamber, high, tho light
Stfeamed DER Calden water.
What marvel ths4 he clasps his hands,
And prsys tho saints to guide him
Al, crossing now the cold vet sands,
She takee her seat beside him.
She speaks no word Of sweet command,
The proud Lord 0owen's daughter
She siSns him with her Aower-hke hand
TO cross tho Calden water.
Trembling, old Andrew takes the oar,
Silent be rows her over;
Silent she steps upon The shore
Where o0co abe met her lover.
There IL no sound of mortal tread,
Or mortal voice 70 greet her,
But noiseleesly, - from the dead,
Her lover slides to meet her.
One moment they each othee fold
In clasp Of lovo undS ing,
The next but shadows deep and cold,
Upon the shoae a4e dying.
And ~? the darkness RfoWD moro dEear-

And backward 70 tho shore In fear

Hes crossed the castles bridge and most,
He stands within the portal
Still on, - ono who has no power
OF paustng OF Of turning,
He mounts unto the very tower
Where yet the Light h burning.
And there he sees snow.white bed,
And sses with eyes aAfightsd,
Set se the feet and st the head
The waxen candles lighted.
Upon lovely, piteous sight

A maiden in her dead-c1othes white,
And al bestrown with daisies.

Whitings, founder, soies, crafish, small

cellont selection of sea-anemones, and
the rare and beautiful inhabitants of

the supply of water, that the idea of
the creatures being captives scarcely
enters the mind. and one comes away
away with a conviction that . great deal
of very interesting natural history may
be learned at al aquarium.

Cheap Sugur from Corn.


The Davenport Qowa) Gazette says
that Mr.. II. d. Weinert, of that city,
has made discovery whereby sugar
can be produced from corn, and afford
ed to the purchaser at 81 cents per
pound. 1t says:
"Some effect OF. other that he had
noticed, of certain chemicals used in
his trade, upon tho potato, led him to
believe that sugar might be obtained
from this .esculent, and, after the de-
struction of his tannery, he commenced
experimenting with that end in view.
He found the sugar in ii, and also found
that it's production from that source
could not be made profitable.
He went to work with corn, and 20
devotedly that he became very poor,
consuming his means until he had used
up every thing but his little homestead.

delivered to purchasers at the factory
for three and half cents per pound.
White corn il better than yellowin thia
business, because there Is no color to
