The Alert, of which picture is here given,
is a 1000 ton ship built by John Roach in
1875. She is lbs feet long, carries q officers
and 1877 men and is rated at 10 knots an hour
in speed. She carries one IL inch and two 9
inch smooth bores, one GO pound rife and
four small guns in the secondary battery.
The Adams is a 80 ton ship. built by
Donald Mckay at Boston in 1876. Her
length is lS5 feet, and she is supposed to go
at the rate of SO knots an hour. She is pro-
vided with battery of four 9-inch smooth
bore, one S-inch muzzle loading rifle and five
guns in the second battery THIS fleet is GER
tainly not very formidable, and it is to be
hoped that the Samoan controversy will be
settled by the conference without calling
upon these vessels to protect American in
terests with their guns.

THE DESeR< OF THIS LIFE.

I bear the loud worlds laughter with her noise
Behold, and see her moving multitudes,
With all their blazonry of pompous joys,
And sorrow planning in low interludes
Across the vast gray desert of this Life
Whose trackless waste, on either hand, afar,
Doth stretch its WEAKNESS in eager strife
They joste on, whatever may debar
In binding dust themselves raise as they go,
The caravan moves on, monster train
With sinuous weary windings trailing slow,
While lips are parched and fever burns the
brain.
And some In masses herd for company,
To stay with common cheer the common heart;
While some-Ah, God, he knoweth some there be,
Rare solitary souls, who walk apart,
And look like gods upon their lonely way.
These speak no word, nor make they any sign;
But travel, travel travel, as they may
Toward the end. with the vast winding line.
And some fall down, ever rise again,
Nor ever move, nor utter any sound;
Still stays not this remorseess, tireess train
But onward. onward on-no rest is found
No rest, rest; no lingering, no returning;
No footprint ever points the backward way;
No wild regret, nor lip with quenchless burning
Finds again the spring of any yesterday

THE POPULAR FLANNEL SHIRT.
velopment of the upper half of his body.
Probably the men of the upper strata envied
him. The shirt made the man look so thor
oughly comfortable. But then there was too
much barbaric splendor about the color of
the garments. 1t set them thinking, at any
rate. Their thoughts ran something like
this: 'This business of being obliged to pay a
tribute of suffering to remorseless conven-
tionality by wearing in midsummer u stiff
white shirt that melts into an insufferable
nuisance inside of two hours, and a collar and
pair of cuffs that wilt like a violet before a
CRATE fire before we have walked half a mile
this is a torture we have endured long
enough, it's an imposition upon mankind in
general and it's got to go!"
So they revolted.
1t was not a frenzied, uncomfortable revolt,
and there was no going to extremes. They
based their case on an intense appreciation of
their inalienable rights. They did not bios
som out attired in shirts with all the gor-
geousness of hue of those of Turkish soldiers
or Nebraska cowboys.
But if you had happened to ride on an ele-
waited train in New York city, for instance,
on any day during the past two or three
summers you would have observed how wide
spread were the effects of the revolt. You
would have seen faultessly dressed young
swells who had all their lives been enamored
of fancy boiled white shirts wearing deli
cately colored and corded flannel shirts, with
sailors knot ties; substantial looking, middle
aged men, brokers and lawyers probably,
wearing spotlessly white flannel shirts, sub
dued by gray or black ties; even old men of
most tremendous dignity. clad in somber
| black, but wearing flannel shirts and four
INLAND cravats just the same. Mingled with
| an appearance of cool comfort these men had
a look of subdued but eternal defiance, as
though daring anybody to question their
right to wear any sort of shirt they chose
sirrah.
At the dinner table, at the seaside, in the
country, flannel shirts everywhere. And the
fiat has gone forth that the flannel shirt is tc
rule the coming summer, and linen shirt
makers and laundrymen are crashing theil
teeth and asking the steely stars, Can sucf
things beY' 1t was only short time age
that one of the largest fancy shirt manufac
tories in the United States failed on account
of the flannel shirt craze.
The flannel shirts this year are to be beauti
full in design and color, and the varietie
adapted to men of different classes and age
are almost numberless 1T is predicted thai
everybody will wear them. What is NOR
sensible than an airy, comfortable flanne
shirt, or, in fact, what more handsome! al
hail its triumph!

The vessels referred to are the Richmond,
the Alert and the Adams These vessels are
to go to Apia at the earliest possible moment.
The Richmond was at the La Plata river, on
the coast of South America, when the order
was issued the Adams at Mare Island navy
yard, California; the Alert at Honolulu.
The Richmond is 81 years old. She was
built at Norfolk in 1858, and was with Adj
miral Farragut during the war of the REBEL
ion at New Orleans. One would suppose at
her age and considering the historic interest
attaching to her she would be put on the re-
tired list or at least kept nearer homo but

went through shot and shell in 1862 be
sent out to cope with newer vessels 1889.

The superstition of sailors has been illus
trated by the claim that the Nipsic, which
has been successfully got off the reef, was
saved by a mascot. A cat named Charlie has
been kept aboard the ship for luck, and the
tars believe that so long as Charlie stands by
the ship good luck will stand by it also. He
is a white and gray cat, and an old sailor,
having been around the world several times.
On one occasion at Gibraltar he is said to
have vindicated American honor by tearing
the fur off British cat, much to the edifica-
ton of the Jack Tars who stood looking on.
At another time while the Nipsic was at the
same place a native came aboard with lot
of monkeys for SAFE Charlie, not relishing
