Nayie. I'm n Transition st.xs.

The navies Of the world have been for
years past in a transition stage-in fact,
ever since the introduction OF armor
plating for ships of war, which necessi.
tated the manufacture and use on board
ship Of heavier guns, which have since
been competing with the thickness of
armor until it seems probable that the
extreme limit has been well nigh reached
in either case, the ideal man-of-war has
been sought for the continual change and
improvement; but on looking into the
future, nothing but further change can
be seen ahead. 1t is, therefore, essential
to find out, as far rs possible, which OF
our various types Of ships best fulflls the
requirements expected OF them.
The true solution Of this question, and
Of many Others waiting to be solved, con-
spicuous among them being the question,
What is the value of the torpedo as an
offensive and defensive weaponl" will
have to stand over till after the next
great naval war. The wars of late years
have not helped us much. The Ameri-
can civil war developed the defensive tor
pedo to a stage beyond which it has not
since made much advance; but from
the FrancoIG German and Russo-Turkish
wars but little was learned, beyond the
undoubtedly great value of torpedoes for
purposes OF defense, in each case the
stronger fleet being rendered innocuous
by their use. But such questions as
THE best way to defend q large ocean
trade from attack by cruisers7' which to
England is Of vital Importance, remain
as obscure as ever.-Blackwood's Maya.

Disposition Of the Dead.

The disposition Of the dead Is attract
Ing much attention in England. The
question is being agitated by the English
Burial Reform association. During late
years there has been more or less discus
NON on this topic. The objection to the
present mode Of burial Is based on two
grounds, First, the sanitary reason, and
second, the financial cost. As funerals
are managed in the present time they are
expensive and fall with much weight
upon the poor, VINO are as fond of mani
testing their respect for the dead by large
funerals as are the rich. A medical
authority ir London declares that the
average cosr every year for burying the
dead in England and Wales alone is
f25, 900, 0Ol. This would make the
average expense Of every funeral about
$50, In the United States il cannot be
any less.
The sanitary objection is based upon
the reports Of sanitary authorities that
communities living in the neighborhood
Of graveyardS suffer from ailments to
which those who livea distance from the
place of burial are strangers. Disraeli.
IN the house Of lords, for this reason
urged That all the Gods acres in Great
Britain should lie closed. These reasons
are making many converts to cremation.
The best evidence Of the growth of this
idea is to be found in the strength Of the
International Cremation congress, which
was held about a year ago in Milan.
The roll included representatives from
every part of the civilized world.-D

Weed Farming I'm Japan.

One might say that weed farming wa,
q genuine part Of the Japanese agricul
tural system, since the entire crop was
utilized in some fashion, either for for
age, food, bedding, beauty, mulching OF
manure. Not a savage plant was al.
lowed to lead a useless life, or to devote
its energies to the undoing of the farmers
work. Though the harmless and pretty
weeds were in some cases permitted to
flourish in the road cutters as well as the
borders and this is no joke-in such
cases they were themselves s~edulously
weeded. 1t does not take deepor intense
reflection TO perceive that this thorough
system of weed culture, so TO speak, re.
ieves the farmers of one heavy tax on
their industry, which their brethren in
America abandon themselves TO paying.

The Queens Bad Manners. krnn, IntrLn Wnhltn Iniinr

The whole court assembled at the chateau of N-U forget the name), not far from Bonn: there were also a great number of illustrious guests, and l.iszt, together with several celebrated artists, had promised to help at the concert to be given in the evening The queen of England with her hus- band, Prince Albert, was also at the castle, but from what the courtiers said, "The most sympathetic sovereign in Europe" as the master called her, was not at all in A pleasant temper.
 It Is well known how Tassionately she loved her husband, and how she never could get used to the inferior rank of her adored consort when the inflexibllity of court etiquette com pelled her to notice It. She suffered dreadfully at 1t, and being young and passionate she was quite unable to hide her grievance. On this occasion, also, fate had played her sorry trick when it brought on the scene an Aus trian archduke. Of course he took precedence to Prince Albert, and this irritated the young woman to such an extent that it spoiled the whole enter tainment for her.
 She abused the ladies in waiting, she got an attack of nerves" and took A gloomy view of everything. The evening came and the concert began. Queen Victoria arrived rather late and did not appear to be herself at all. Liszt was to play an "Introdnction." l" but had scarcely seated himself at the piano before the queen complained of the heat, at which a chamberlain rHn to open a window. In two minutes the queen found the draught insup- portable. Then the chamberlain hur- ried of again to shut the door.
 This produced hustle and going to and fro capable of ruiDing the effect of the finest performance in the world When the "lntroduction" was finished the master, instead of playing the piece itself, got up, made bow, and went out into the park to smoke & cigar.

Remarkable Longevity.
Dallas News.

A case of remarkable longevity is that of Frank Hicks, colored, residing within ten miles of Mckinney, over whose remarkable head IF summers have rolled. The evidence of his age is afforded by bill of sale from a slave trader to F. H. Welch, dated 1850, certifying that Hicks was eighty years old. As in the sale of slave, like that of horse, the vendor, while he might have an object in undertaking the age of his chattel, could have no possible motive in adding to his years, the proof that Hicks has spent IF years in this vale of tears is conclusive Hicks, though little bent, is in per- feet health, not looking day over seventy, and giving hope of lasting another quarter of a century. When sold to Mir. Welch he was thrown in with his wife, but in the thirty seven years that have since elapsed he has never failed of doing & mans work at hoeiDg, and this year, with the aid of his wife, now in her ninetieth year, he has harvested eight bales of cotton, which he sold in Mckinney last week. The cotton was grown on the planta- tion of MT. Welch, who, out of regard to his former slaves old age and dili- gent service, allows him the free use of all the land he can farm. By his pres- ent wife Hicks had fifteen children, thirteen of whom are living, and by his former wife he had many children he says the good Lord only knows the number-some of whom, if they are yet living. must be centenarians. His early families were born in South Car olina, to which he was brought in a shaver from the coast of Africa when only ten years old. He remembers naught of his native land, but has distinct recollection of his voyage to the land of bondage. He was always faithful in his services, and he proudly acknowledged that he neither merited nor received harsh treatment from any of his masters. His descendants, ill the opinion of MT. Welch, exceed thousand.
