The London Times published
lately a letter from a Fellow of the
Royal College of Surgeons in which
he narrated the substance of a con-
versation between himself and two
eminent physicians On the subject
of what he terms domestic poison
ing" Each of the three was able
TO refer to case of the kind that
had come under his Individual notice
and the writer seems to share the
opinion of the great toxicologist,
the late DR.. Taylor, whose works
are text books on forensic medicine,
that domestic poisoning is Of far
more frequent occurrence than is
usually supposed, conclusion
which, having regard to the large
number of. persons in the world
whose death would in some way
bring pleasure or profit to others,
is not extraordinary. 1t is too
probable that a large proportion of
mankind has little conscience about
committing crime if f"what's basely
done can be done safely too"

THE work of fortifying dockyards
is proceeding rapidly on the conti-
nent. Not only are the defences
of the German ports and coasts be-
ing pushed on with energy and the
roads of Toulon secured against at
tack and generally improved, but
the Austrians are now adding to
the Notifications of Pola. That
empire having a near neighbor of
certainly superior naval strength,
the resolve of the Austr:ans to trust
rather to their batteries than to their
fleet is presumably wise. In the

tifcations which have already been

practical m inner given the atten-
ton to this subject which its i'm
pprtance demands, and until some
common sense legislation in this
direction is enacted, the past ac-
ton will be repeated until the
country is left without the sem
blance. Of a navy. Entirely too
much reliance is placed upon ina.
tional ability to meet any sudden
emergency that may arise, in
which armed vessels would be re-
quired to defend the nations
honor, and if care is not exercised
the government will some day be
taken at disadvantage, and be-
fore important points can be put
in proper condition of defense,
untold damage can be inflicted
which hundreds of millions of dol
lars will not make good. The in
creasing activity of foreign pow
ers in strengthening their naval
armaments points clearly to the
fact that the peace millennium is
not in the near futare, and that
we owe it to ourselves, as a nation,
to be prepared for any sudden
complication that may arise.
Though the world is virtually at
peace, no one can predict how
long such desirable state of af-
fairs may obtain. The wars Of
these days are not presaged by
years of muttering and rising
clouds betokening the coming
storm, but are preclpitated with
the suddenness Of the tornado
and pass away almost as quickly.
What is needed is a wise, gener-
Gus and comprehensive naval pol
Iicv, one which shall be framed by
men who can look beyond the con-
| fines of one administration, and who
can sink politics, personal eonsid-
erations, and aggrandizement OF
| friends in carrying out plan de-
lsigned for the honor and protec-
ton of the nation by this arm OF
its defence. The government can
learn by observation. and expert
ence, enough to. guard against
making such grievous and costly
mistakes as foreign powers have
/ fallen into; and it is not egotism
nor overweening confidence, to as
sert that the ability is in this coun-
try to perfect class of naval yes
sells which shall have no superior
among the navies Of the world, at
far less cost than the cumbersome
craft of. Europe, whenever Con-
gress shall have completed its
plans of a national naval policy.
| 1t is time that the nation
realized the necessity of prompt
action in this respect, and that a
maritime power with census OF
l-fifty-two millions should show to
the world that it has the pride
and principle to take its place in
the front rank of duty, as we'll as
power, and that it is ready to use
force, should necessity demand, to
secure freedom to the, oppressed
of the world, and to protect its
people, its commerce and its soil.

Art.

Our town has been very lively this
winter. First we had two circuses, and
then we had the smallpox, and now
we've got course of lectures. A
course of lectures is six men, and you
can 90 to sleep while they're talking,
if you want to, and you'd better do it
unless they are missionaries with real
idols or a magic lantern. | always go
to sleep before the lectures are through,
but heard good deal of one of them
that was all about art.
Art is almost as useful as history or
arithmetic, and we ought all to learn
it, so that we can make beautiful things
and elevate our minds. Art is done
with mud in the first place. The art
man takes a large chunk of mud and
squeezes it until it is like a beautiful
man or woman, or wild bull, and then
he takes marble grave-stone and cuts
it with chisel until it is exactly like
the piece of mud. If you want solid
photograph of yourself made out of
marble, the art man covers your face
with mud, and when it gets hard he
takes it off, and the inside of it is Just
like mold, so that he can fill it full
of melted marble which will be an ex-
act photograph of you as soon as it
gets cool.
This was what one Of the men
who belong to the course of lectures
told us. He said he would have shown
us exactly how to do art, and would
have made a beautiful portrait of a
friend OF his, named Wee Nuss, right
ON the stage before our eyes, only he
couldn' get the right kind of mud. |
believed him then, but don't believe
him now. A man who will contrive to
get an innocent boy into q terrible
scrape isn't above telling what isn't
true. He could have got mud if he d
wanted it, for there was momamilion
tons of it in the street. and it's my be-
lief that he couldn't have made any
thing beautiful il he'd had mud foot
deep on the stage.
AS I said, / believed everything the
man said. and when the lecture was
over and father said. ~ do hope jim
my you've got some benefit from the
lecture this time;'' and Sue said: "a
great deal of benefit that boy win ever

you cover baby's mouth and nose with
mud it can't b eathe, which is We v I'M

breathe, and intended to put an extra
piece of mud over that part Of the mouth
