A reinforcement of the China fleet

A reinforcement OF the China fleet
will soon be in order The situation
in China is viewed with no little con-
Germ by naval officers and State De.
partment people. Each mail brings to
the department intimations of grow
ing hatred on the part of the Chi
nese to Americans and American in
terests and complaints of outrages
of some kind. There are signs, too,
of threatened trouble between China
and Japan, which affords another
argument in favor of good sized
American fleet on the Asiatic station.
The North Pacific, with Hawaii,
Behring Sea and Samoa, to be watch
ed, and the China stations, with the
many American interests likely to
suffer because of hatred entertained
for us by the Chinese, are considered
by navy people as the two most i'm
portant squadrons at the present
time. Naval officers who are looking
for opportunities to make a record
for themselves prefer service in these
suuadrons.

The following choice bit of word painting
occurs in Hawthorne's Marble Faun:
"Women be they of what earthly rank
they may, however gifted with intellect or
genius, or endowed with awful beauty, have
always some little handiwork ready to fill
the tiny gap of every vacant moment. A
needle is familiar to the fingers of them all.
A queen, no doubt, plies it on occasion; the
woman poet can use it as adroitly as her
pen the woman's eye, that has discovered
a new star, turns from its glory to send the
polished little instrument cleaning along
the hem OF her kerchief, or to darn a casual
fray in her dress. And they have greatly
the advantage of MS in this respect. The
united with the small, familiar, gentle in
terests of life, the continually operating in
tiuences of which do SO much for the health
of the character, and carry OIL what would
otherwise be a dangerous accumulation OF
morbid sensibility. a vast deal Of human
sympathy runs along this electric line,
stretching from the throne to the wicker
chair OF the humblest seamstress, and
keeping high and low in a species of COM
munion with their kindred beings.'
Housewives, while you ply the needle,
have you ever reflected on the vicissitudcs
of life? See to it that your husbands pro-
vide for the future welfare of their families
by at once applying for a Policy in the
CIETY of the United States. No more
suitable gift could be offered to you.

One day when elephant hunting in the
"Baseleka" territory, accompanied by $50
men, | was ustonished suddenly to behold
a majestic lion slowly and steadily advanc-
ing toward us with a dignitied step and UNI
daunted bearing. Lashing his tail from
side to side and growing haughtily, he
fixed his terrible eyes upon US and dis
played IL store of ivory well calculated to
inspire terror among the timid natives.
A headiong flight of the $50 men WAS the
immediate result, and in the confu On of
the moment four couples of my dogs were
allowed to escape. These instantly faced
the lion, who. finding by his bold bearing he
had put his enemies to flight, now became
solicitous for the safety of his little family,
with which the lioness was retreating in
the background.
Facing about, he followed them with an
independent step, growing fiercely at the
dogs, which trotted along on either side of
him.
As my natives had all deserted me, con-
sidered it unwise to interfere with his de
parture, and calling back my dogs saw the
last of this king of the forest without re-

dinner that he could fool another

Wilkie lighted cigar after cigar and
handed them to him. Pooh" he would

By and by Wilkie lighted a cigar,
