Intelligence in Cows.
Pail Mall Gazette.

The other morning, very sultry one,
two cows came TO orr gate, evidently on
the lookout for something, and being at
first somewhat puzzled by their pleading
looks, bethought my elf that they might
be IN want of water. No sooner had this
idea occurred 30 me than l had some
water brought in large vessel, which the
poor animals at once sucked up with the
greatest eagerness. The pair then saunt-
cred contentedly away to a field near at
hand.
In about half an hour or so we were
surprised, and not little amused, by
seeing our two friends marching up to
the gate acco panied by three other
COWS.
The water tub was again called iLto re-
QUESTION, and the newcomers we're in
like manner helped literally. Then with
gratjfied and repeated "boo-oos"-a
unanimous vote of thanks our visitors
slowly marched off to their pastarage. 1t
was quite clear to us that the two first
callers, pleased with their friendly re-
ception, had strolled down to their sister
gossips and dairy companions and had
informed them-how, | cannot say, can
you?-of their liberal entertainment,
and then had taken the perdonable Ii
berty of inviting them up to our cottage.

Before rhe Compass Was Invented.

The staten ent that the compass was
invented by Flavio Gloia, or Fra Diavolo,
or some other Dutchman, has long since
been erroneous. As early as 1868 Pierre
de Maricourt not only described the COM
pass, but calculated it's variations, and the
calculation shows that the needle wobbled
with as much certainty then as it does
now. Paul must have been familiar with
the compass, for we are told that he
fetched a compass We are not told,
however where he fetched 1t from, or why
he hadn't it ON board when he started

OUR NAVY FL0URISHING.
fhe House Committee on Naval Affairs Make
Very Favorable Report.

fhe House Committee on Naval Affairs Make a
Very Favorable Report.
WAsHINGToN.-In its report on the
naval appropriation bill, the house
committee on naval affairs summarize
the present condition ard future pros
poets of the navy of this country. The
report says with regard to the navy,
congress seems to have settled upon a
policy of appropriating towards it's con
struction about $6,00O,0OO per annum.
Your committee believe that this will
build up navy as fast as prudence die
tates. Oar navy department and ship
builders are utilizing, az far as mey
be, by every means i'll their power, the
knowledge acquired from the costly ex-
perience Of other nations; but they must
acquire experience of their own. Too
great haste on the part of the govern
ment would inevitably result in con-
fusion and waste, and most probably
in combination instead of a competi-
ton among the ship builders. Besides
it would be an easy matter in this coun-
try to build ships more rapidly
than we could supply them with the
armament of domestic manufacture.
Satisfactory progress is being made by
private contractors FOR supplying neavy
gun and armor plate forgings and for
rapid fire machine guns, ana, says the
com mittee, it will be seen that congress,
by passage of the bill we report, will
have taken the last step necessary
to render the government absolutely
independent in the world in the matter of
building and equipping the navy. II has
been the constant aim of the committee
and the department TO provide for ship s,
the best of their class, and guns equal to
any in the world. There is ample com
petition among the bidders for the con-
struction of engines and machinery, and
ip this matter American enterprise and
ingenuity seem likely to lead the world
Reference is made to the triumph of our
ship builders in the splendid performance
of the Vesuyius.
