Philadelphia Times: The climatic
conditions of America are apparently ia
vorable to the development of red hair,
and there is more than one reason to an
ticipate that wa shall become nation Of:
strawberry blondes in the not very dis.
tant future. The diverse foreign ese-
ments that are gradually fused INTO a
new national character are such as cor
roborate rather than weaken this. ex>
pectation. We have, on The one hand,
the blonae type of the Saxon races, and
on the other the brunette type Of the
Latin races, with Celtic reinforsements
of hesh types. What is more natural
than that the union Of these types in
nation, as in married couple, should
result in red headed progeny?
An English shipbuilder has prepared
a model of "a fast cruiser for the British
admiralty, which is worthy the atten-
ton of our own naval board This yes
sci will have speed of twenty-five
miles an hour. with coal.carrying ca
pacity sufficient to take her from Liver
pool to the West Indies and back at the
speed Of twelve knots. The engines are
safe from shot being protected by tough
steel walls. She carries two 110,ton
guns in barbettes plated by thirteen
inches Of armor, and will carry torpe-
does to be elected from her bows. The
cost will be not less than 81, 500, 900.
The speed is the paramount recon-
mendation, if the programme of the
English builder can be realized
Twenty-Five miles an hour is a very high
rate of speed. It is average Ailroad
speed, and will make such vessel the
most formidable craft afoat.
The increase of luxury among the
officers of the German army has become
SO marked as to be made the subject OF
an article in one of the reviews, and has
led to the PRONUNCIATION of the following
order by the Emperor William: "The
more that luxury and high living gain
ground in other quarters the more does
it become the duty of the officers of the
army not to forget that it is not worldly
goods which have gained them their
high and honored position in the state
and in society, Not only is the military
fitness and ability of the officer injured
by an etfeminate manner of life, but the
basis on which the officers class stands
is shaken" The Emperor has always
lived in accordance with these maxims,
and led simpler life every way than a
majority of lleutenants.
