Nerve Waste.

Nerve waste is somewhat q new field
of consideration for people of studious
habits. People think that the supply
OF vital energy is inexhaustible, and
that repair goes on as fast as waste.
Then comes a crash and they are puz-
Fled. They should not be. Nerves
should be economical as carefully as a
bank account You cannot get out
what is not put into the nerves any
more than into the bank. Sleep is
natures way of winding up the ma
chine When we begin to get slespless
the nerves are then exhausted; and
either insanity or some other form of
nerve depression is near at hand Rail-
road travelling, even in sleeper, is not

short hours is better than long strug-
gle to do mental work when we are
weary. The Master said: 'Come aside

WARRINGTON, April 30.-The Monterey,
which was launched at San Francisco Tues
day, was originally known as "Coast. De-
tense Vessel No. L." Her designs were
made at the navy department in 1888. in
conformity with conditions prescribed by
Secretary Whitney, and the keel was laid
down by the Scotts at the Union Iron Works
in the following year. She is formidable

built Of steel. Her general dimensions
are: Length, 256 feet; breadth, 50 feet; !;
can draught, IA feet 3 inches; displsce.
ment, 4,048 tons. Her engines are Of the
twin-screw vertical triple expansion type,
capable Of developing an indicated horse

hour, In this respect, as well as in regard
to her armor and armament, she 10 far

which are now building Of iron, and which
are equipped with inclined compound en-
gines. None Of these latter vessels has .
speed OF more than 12 knots and none of
them has an armor plating Of more than IL
inches.
The Monterey. however, is to have an
armor plating averaging thirteen inches in
thickness covering her sides, turrets, and
bsrhettes. Her main battery will consist
Of two twelve-inch and two ten-inch breech-
loading rifles. Her secondary battery Is to
consist of six six pounder rspid-fre guns.
four ore-pounder rapid fice guns, aud two
Catlings. The date Of the act authorizing
her building was March 3. 1887, and the
amount appropriated for the cost Of her
hull and machinery was 81 CPS. $50.
As originally designed the Monterey

barbette, which was 16 inches thick, and q

which was IS inches thick. This battery
was so heavy thst the guns could not be
adequately protected, and the rate Of fire of
the six.een-inch gun was comparatively
slow. Accordingly, Nov. %, 1889, the de-
sigDs were altered by the Navy Department
TO provide for fourteen-inch barbsste for
