Wonderfully Made.

There was an old preacher who
told some bows OF the bible lesson he
was going to read about in the morn
ing. The bows finding the place
glued the connecting pages. The
next morning he read on the bottom
of one page "When Noah was l2O
wears old, he took unto himself a
wife, who was"-then turning the
page - $40 cubits long, 40 cubits
wide, built of gopher wood, and COW
cred with pitch inside and out" He
was naturally puzzled at this. He
read it again, verified it, and then
said: "My friends, this is the first
time ever met this in the bible, but
accept it as an evidence of the as
sertion that we are fearfully and
wonderfully made. "-Er.

This remedy effectually counteracts
the tendency of the disease to result
in pneumonia, provided that proper
care be taken to avoid exposure when

as follows: Chile withdraws the Of
fensive note OF Senior Malta and
acknowledges that it's issuance was
uncalled for. 1t also withdraws
the request for the recall of Minister
Egan, and proposes to submit the
Baltimore affair to the arbitration OF
neutral power. If this proposition
is not acceptable the Chilean Govern
ment suggests that the matter be
submitted to the decision of the

WHAT A NAVY COSTS.

1t will cost $55, 600, 900 to complete,
arm and equip the warships which
are now being built for the Govern
ment. A big navy comes high, but
we must have il. The following fig
ures show the cost of the war vessels
recently built or now being con-
structed for the United States: The
San Francisco, now on her way to
Chilean waters, cost little more
than $4,000, DEMONSTRATION, arm
ament and equipment. She is the
most costly of our new vessels now in
commission. The Philadelphia, Bal
timore and Newark each cost about
$l.9O0,OOO complete. The Atlanta
and Boston cost 81 900, 900 apiece and
the Yorktown 100000. These are
very small figures compared to the
cost of some OF the ships which we
are now building. The most costly
vessel now on the stocks in this
country is the Oregon, which is to be
a monster floating fortress of 10000
tons, with 2,700 tons of armor plate
protecting her huh, and to cost, COM
plete, the enormous sum OF s., 800, S95.
Her two sister ships,of the same size,
armament and armor throughout,
will each cost about $170, 1000 less, ow-
ing TO difference in the contracts.
The hull of the mighty Oregon is
to cost more than $1,000, 900, her
engines will take $73S,000 more, the
armor for her hull 5000, 900, the armor
for protection of her guns 5000, 900,
her guns $7S3, 900 and her equipment
$1O1, 900. These figures show that
building these mammoth men-of-
war is luxury which-only the rich
est of nations can afford to indulge in
on large scale.
