To Build a Navy.

Yesterdays dispatches from Washington
contain indications that the new Secretary
of the Navy is determined to walk In the
footsteps of his predecessor, Ex-Secretary
Whitney, and will devote every effort to
the building at the earliest possible mo-
ment of an efficient navy. He has already
given orders to prepare for the construction
of the naval vessels recently authorized by
Congress, and is besides pushing the work
on the vessels now under construction.
This will be welcome news to the entire
country, as the people generally have
awakened to lively realization of the help
less condition of these United States and
the necessity for strong and efficient navy.
We desire to maintain our commercial
prestige abroad, as well as protect the lives
and property of our citizens in foreign
lands.
Elk Secretary Whitney did more to rem
der strong navy possible than did any OF
his predecessors for a number of years.
He gathered together the nucleus of q
new navy, and besides began its actual
construction. He built up an American
| steel industry and encouraged the home
manufacture of heavy ordnance, without
which the rehabilitation of the navy would
have been impossible.
With this much to start on, and with
| over twenty strong vessels in course Of
construction, Secretary Tracy's administra
ton of the navy department starts out un
der the most favorable auspices, and the
country is disposed to accept his present
zeal as pledge of the continuance of tht
policy that has given SO much satisfaction
during the past four years.-N. O. Plea

What Smoking Does for Boys.

A certain doctor, struck with large
number of boys under fifteen years of age
he observed smoking, was led to inquire
into the effects the habit had upon the
general health. He took for his purpose
thirty eight boys, aged from nine to IF
then, and carefully examined them. In
twenty seven he discovered injurious traces
of the habit. In twenty -one there were
various disorders of the circulation and d.
gestion, palpitation of the heart, and a
more or less taste for strong drink. In
twelve there were frequent bleeding of the
nose, ten had disturbed sleep, and twelve
had slight liberation of the mucus mem
brane of the mouth, which disappeared on
ceasing the use of tobacco for some days
The doctor treated them all for weakness,
but with little effect until the smoking
was discontinued, when health and
strength were soon restored. Now, this is
no ''old wife's tale" IS these facts are
given under the authority of the British
Medical MonthIu.
St. Landry democrat., 1889-03-30
Growth of Temperance Sentiment.

The temperance cause made progress
during the last year encouraging. enough
to stimulate the hopes of all its friends.
1t cannot be said, perhaps, that any one
way, either of regulation or suppression,
made gain distinctly greater than any
other but the spirit of opposition to the
traffic has been more widely diffused
among the people and largely increased in
intensity. Some practical ends have been
reached, of course, with more or less hope
of permanent success, but the main ad-
vance has been that of extended and deep
ened conviction, the actual result of which
will be realized in the near or more remote
future. 1t is but natural that they who
have thorough hostility to the drink traffic,
and who have long made war upon it,
should be impatient, but they need not be
SO. Hardly any real reformation, involv-
ing SO great a change in the habits of the
people, has gone on SO rapidly and tri-
umphed over SO many obstacles in its way.
Success of radical sort must be waiting
in the near future United Presbyterian.

Diplomatic Romances.

These modern romances OF American
girls and foreign noblemen cannot match
the alliance OF forty years ago-the famous
marriage of the old Count de Bodisco, the
Russian minister, and Miss Harriet w a.
liams, the Georgetown beauty. He was
old and decrepit. 1t is said that he wore
"plumpers" in his cheeks and dressed ms
poor, broken old form so that he looked
like man of 40 after he saw the beautl
full school girl at her fathers house IN
Georgetown. For she was school girl
only 14-when he married her. He sent
her to Europe to finis her education, snd
when she came back she was the most
beautiful woman in America. A magn'h,
cent, fair woman, with golden hair and
brown eyes, was this young wife of the
old Count de Bodsco. After leaving here
her husband returned to Russia, and she
became the reigning belle of st. Petersburg
More pathetic than this story, for 1t was
surely pathetic for girl of IA to marry
man of 70 was the story of her sister, MISS
Fannie Williams At the time Count de
Bodisco was minister he had with MIN as
attaches two nephews of the same name,
who in his last hours he acknowledged as
his illegitimate sons. One Of these nephews
loved the sister of his Incompatible aunt.
The Count de Bodisco claimed. that the
Russian law forbade such an intermarrlage,
and the two were separated. She Went TO
St. Petersburg with her beautiful sister,
became engaged to Russian nobleman,
and on the eve of her marriage was found
dead, with the ivory miniature of her first
lover in her hand. The tales of the old
days are best.-Chicago Tribune.

A Maori Essay on the Ostrich.

The following copy of composition of
New Zealand boy on the subject of
"What Do You Know About an Ostrich p
was received by lady in this city from a
friend in England who takes an active
part in missionary work:
'The ostrich is an African animal that
lives on sand and generally hunts on horse
back The female makes a nest in the
sand, which is simply deep hole, and
then the male lays in it ten or twelve
eggs, which he matches, for making orna-
ments and for food for his family These
eggs chase their parent all over the desert
till he is quite tired, poor fellow.
s'The three tail feathers of this ostrich
form the motto 4 serve and they belong
to the Prince of Wales, who is also fond
of these tail. feathers. This ostrich is
often used for drinking cups and other
various amusements, but it is chiefly val
ued for the beautiful feathers which are
found on his legs-and those that grow on
the egg she'll -Pitssburg Dispatch.

Nicaraeuan WasherWomer.

The horses were again urged forward
and upward toward the point where the
distant peak of Santa Clara towers above
the clouds till at last the crest of an ex-
tinct crater was reached. Within the
hollow, 100 feet below the surrounding
ridge, which forms circular basin with a
diameter of about 600 yards, as perfect as
if laid out by accurate measurement, lies q
lake of unknown depth. A little way
from the bank sounding leads have been
run down 300 feet without touching the
bottom.
We are told that at times the water be-
comes warm, and that sulphurous fumes
arise from it's surface and again the bottom
of the lake will rise 5 or feet so suddenly
that the women washing along the shore
have to swim for their lives, leaving the
clothes to float away. Though called ex-
tinct, this would indicate that the temper
of the volcano is still too uncertain to make
it's immediate ..neighborhood desirable
place of residence.
This lake-called Tiscapa-is the public
laundry of Nicaragua's capital, and here
the iaoendards (washerwomen) come to
clense the city's soiled linen. A rugged
roadway leads down to the water, where
at all hours every day novel scene is pre-
scented. Standing knee deep or waist deep
in the water, dressed Tor rather undressed)
accordingly, the native women pound the
clothes on flat stones, and afterward dry
them on the surrounding bushes. The in
dustrious workers are themselves the most
striking picture, clad in but single short
sleeveless and extremely ''low necked
garment, and even this short trammeling
they discard in the ardor of business if
compelled to seek deeper rinsipg places.
H0ni soft gu NAL q pense. And these
creatures seem to be the perfection of limo
cence, for they remain entirely undisturbed,
if, perchance, a company of passing mule

Among the workers, ranging in age from

LIVE STOCK,

In an interesting article by Hon. O. j..
Bailey, in a recent number of the Jersey
Bulletin, appears the following:
The live stock interest of the United
States is at this time greater than the com
bined value of the stock of all other coun-
tries, and in dairy products we are rapidly
coming to the front, leading all other
countries except Germany. In no depart
ment of agriculture has growth been more
rapid or development more remarkable
than in dairy products. In 1850 we had
6,3s5, 094 mich cows, and produced 313,-
345, 306 neaSnds of butter and 1O5, $50, 1913
pounds lnepsese-a total product of 49,
SS1, 1870 Iunds. By 1880 we had not quite
douEs d the number of cows, but more
tbfyldoubled the products by 212,067, 523
3, ands The mich cows of this country
now number over 10000 900, and in both
numbers and value represent over one
third the entire investment in cattle. The
value of the product of the cows for the
year just closed is estimated at not less
than 100000.
