Great Britain's Naval Failure.

New York Sun.
We published the other day re-
port concerning some recent man9u-
vers of British men-of-war which
must excite attention among the
people of both hemispheres. 1t seems
that in these maneuvers half a dozen
vessels, all known as of the Archer
type, took part, and that in a moder-
ate sea they pitched and rolled so as
to make any military use of their
canon quite impracticable; and the
conclusion of the experts was that the
heavy guns which they now carry
must be replaced by others much
lighter. In other words, the ships
are gross failure, and the money ex-
pended in them is in great degree,
if not entirely, so much money vast
ed. How much money Great Britain
has invested in unavailable machines
of this sort iG would be difficult to
determine. We have heard the
sum estimated by a British pub
lie man, not unfamiliar with the sub
iect, at over a thousand millions of
dollars. Such a case of national eX-
tTavaganCe, blindness and delusiOn
has never before been known in his
tory.

He Wanted n Little Prose.

"The pleasure derive from the seen
cry and the benefit l obtain from this
exercise" soliloquized an Angler as he
cast his flies, sis worth more to me than
all the Trout in this brook. Trout can
buy in the market, but pleasure and
health are not SO easily obtained"
Just then Trout seized one of his flies,
and after some st struggles it felt the net
under it.
II hope that you will restore me to the
water" pleaded the Trout "You are
seeking for pleasure and health, and you
admit that you can have them without
sacrificing my life. Continue casting
your flies for half an hour longer and in
this way you will receive more than you
will by killing me-"
"Your arguments sound plausible
enough" replied the Angler, as he placed
the trout in his creel, "but the stock of
pleasure and health can obtain is I'm
limited. The supply of your species is,
however, limited, and there is time
when man prefers concrete prose to alb
stract poetry That time will arrive when
find you on my plate at the breakfast
table tomorrow. New York Herald.

ing at wholesale and distributing at
cost. But successful CO operation is
based upon the policy of investing the
profits OF trade, for the benefits of the
purchaser.
For instance, if one hundred dollars
worth of articles be sold at wholesale
rates quarterly for consumption during
the year there will be nothing at the
close of the year to present either as an
evidence Of economy or thrift. But if
the same amount be sold dnring the
first quarter at retail, and the profits of
10 per cent. be invested in favor of the
purchaser. there would be at the begin
ming of the second quarter Sll0 to re
invest this amount and repeat the oper
alton during the year would bring forth
at the commencement Of the second
year $146.7l.
Yet it should be borne in mind first
and last, that successful cooperation
depends upon cash, and cash only, and
not upon wholesale buying on extended
credit and selling on margins at great
risk.

The Great Problem Is

To find a remedy to cure consti-
patton that is pleasant to the taste,
harmless, mild, but at the same time
prompt, sure and effective. Hamburg
figs, the great fruit ca;hartic, possess
these qualities in an extraordinary
degree, and are the greatest discovery
of the age. Hamburg figs will cure
you if you are constipated, if without
appetite, if bilious or suffer from sick
headache. When you are troubled
with any Of the above disorders Ham
burg figs will, by their mild but prompt
action, relieve the trouble and thus
soothe the irritation which such ailments
always cause. Hamburg Figs are sold

keep a COW in good milking condition
than it does to keep her dry, as she
ought to be kept, while the returns
from winter milk are fully thirty per
cent more than from summer milk.
a writer says: Several years ago
the american Agricultu,ist gave direc-
tions for making floor to keep animals
dry, which l tried with good success,
and have never seen improved upon.
Let the floor slant to the rear about
three inches in the length of the stall !;
then take joists SKA inches and have
them sawed to the length Of the slant
ing floor and split them diagonally SO
that each piece will make two, with a
thin edge at one end and SKA at the
other. Spike these firmly to the floor,
the thick ends to the rear, leaving
cracks a little less than aa inch be-
tween them this will bring the stand
ing floor level, and leave room for the
water to run off in the cracks. With
hook of the proper width put in hoe
handle, these cracks can be easily
cleaned out, and the dry exorement
will give but little trouble. The only
improvement 1 can suggest is to have
the slant more steep and only about
half as long, leaving the floor two and
one half or three feet back from the
crib, level. This would avoid having
the thin ends offooring Stats under
the forward feet of the animals, where
they wear out very fast.

THE Household,
The Cooking Clock.
From Home.

From Home.
The latest achiev> ment in portable
double action furniture is the cooking
clock. 1t is made of white wood,
stained cherry and is constructed after
the style of the old fashioned grand
fathers clock. The lower part OF this
mighty engine of domestic economy
contains a gasoline stove, which. when
in use, is pulled out like drawer from
its resting place. Below the stove is a
receptacle for kitchen ware, while
above it is china closet containing
four shelves, Above all this is perch
ed calendar clock, hack of which is
is attached a gasoline vapor tank
which is connected with the stove by a
pipe concealed behind the case. To
the left, and fitted securely to one side of
the case, is an Argand burner supplied
with gas generated by the gasoline
vapor tank above mentioned. When
cooking is in progress the wood work
of the stove clock is protected by a
sheet of asbestos paper, which is placed
back of the stove. When the stove,
china closet, etc., are not in use they
are pushed back into he case, the front
of which is decorated with handsome
mirror.
Besides this multiplicity of useful
combinations the ingenious inventor
has found room within the magical case
for writing desk and drawer for
writing materials.

settled SO low that ever and anon wave
