No Alarm Felt by the Navy.

Naval officers here are indignant at an
effort that has been made by the United Press
to cause uncasiness as to the safety Of three
OF the old naval vessels now making their
way home from foreign stations to go out of
active service. These vessels are the Lancas-
Ter, coming from Asia via the Mediterranean;
the Alliance, coming from South America, and
the Marion, bomeward bound from Asia,
across the Pacific. Admiral Ramsay says
that there is no reason for apprehension and
that the vessels are not overdue. The Lam
custer and the Alliance for economical reasons
are proceeding under sail, and the Marion
was authorized to stop at Hawaii If desirable,
and is now probably anchored in Honolulu
harbor.

Down went his drum. OF came the soldier
cap, and from it fell a fag-our flag.
The child ran around the room waving the
flag above his head and watching its chang
ing folds and colors.
Lets have the flag with US for breakfast,
mother
The mother nodded and smiled. So the
flag was fastened in the top of the old-fash-
ioned castor.
They sat down at the table, and the east
sun just touched lightly the child's forehead
and shone full on the mothers head as it was
bowed reverently before eating the ''daily
bread"
The hungry child was full, always, OF ques-

Down into the kitchen clattered the boys
feet. Merry blue eyes were raised to true
blue, thoughtful ones in a glance that meant
much, and the boy ran into the garden, while
the mother stepped quickly to and fro laying
the breakfast table. This now old-fashioned
mother, in her tidy "sprigged" calico gown
and clean brown checked gingham apron,
stepping briskly back and forth between stove
and table in the one big "living ROOM made
pleasant picture. Breakfast started, she
crossed the rom quickly to loom in one
corner and began to weave, for the neigh
bors all agreed that widow Blodgett's rag
carpets was wove better than any they had
ever seen." and Neighbor Wagner said:
81 never did see nothin' SO handsome as
the hit-an' miss pattern Widder Blodgett wove
for me-but tell ye there want no hit-an'-
miss about the weavin'."
So the busy hands worked on weaving
part of her daily "stint" before breakfast
weaving for bread.
Outside the birds and the boy whistled.
Soon tho sound OF drum told the mother

brave little drummer boy.
The boy ran into breakfast.

One of the Finest AfInat

The official report of the naval board
which conducted the recent trial of the
Columbia was submitted to Acting Secretary
McAdoo yesterday. Certain small defects,
always to be looked for in a new ship, were
found, but all of them, it is said, admit Of
easy correction, and on the whole the report
makes it evident that the Columbia is one Of

The Soldier.

The Soldier.
The years passed on. Dark clouds arose.
The drums and flies were calling in the village
street.
That morning the sun shone on a brave
deed-the Widow Blodgett was giving her
all. Her hand trembled as she pointed silently
up at the wall where the calm eyes of Wash
ington looked down from under the red,
white and blue. She wiped her eyes on her
checked apron as she followed him to the
door,
The mother and her soldier son paused in
the doorway. One more kiss-a voiceless
prayer on the mothers lips-a backward
glance and wave Of soldier cap, and the
mans feet marched bravely forth to meet
what might come.
The tramp, tramp, tramp of marching feet
sounded dreadily in that mother's ears, as
she leaned over the gate and waved her apron
and looked down the village street long after

Four Thousand Mile Trips May Be Made
 Without Seeing sail.
 ''I notice an item in the press stating that the City of Peking in her recent trip sailed twelve hundred and forty miles without meeting a single sail, and this fact is cited as showing the loneliness of the Pacific ocean," says a writer in the Washington Star. Tn the summer of 1850 l left San Francis co on a sail vessel (formerly from Bal timore) for Panama, distant four thou sand miles, and on the entire route, which lasted fOrty-three days, we never saw a sail! Loneliness is no word for it, especially when we lay becalmed in the tropics, with our vessel floating as helplessly about as a chip on q 10 ill., pond, the ground swells keeping up the monotonous roll of the vessel from side to side all day and night and day after day, each roll being accompanied by flap of the sails and a creaking Of the rigging that might have passed for the flap of the wings and the wall of lost spirits.

True, there is no report of any such proceed ing on his part, but that is doubtless because there was no modern news paper reporter on board. tell you, a man can't realize what loneliness is until he has made some such trip, and if he wants to complete his educa tion in that line he should preface it with a tramp of two thousand miles over the mountains and acr oss the deserts amid wolves and wild Indians, as thousands of '49-ers did"

 canals, bitches
 and Reservoirs.

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjection the rise of water in canal, due to an over-abund ant flow, or to sudden lises in the canal owing to severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such Water Gate placed in lower bank of canal at such points along it's line Where there Rayines, Gullies, Arroyos, Foot Hills, Buttes, or Tableland, any rains or storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks of canal. Tie Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, as it is
 SELF-ACTING AND A PERFECT SAFETY VALVE Relieving the canal at short intervals, of it's sur plus water, thus preventing the washing away of banks, and causing great damage generally, no alone to canal, but property owners all along the line, who may suffer more or less damages there after for the want of water owing to the damaged condi ion of canal and while such repair are being made. Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of its surplus water, to prevent damage and ex- pense, but by it's the first cost of canal con- struction will be materially lessened as the banks need not be made so high or wide.
 The device is extremely simple and compara- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this:
 There is pipe fastened to an opening in the vertical gate, l. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, ?, water runs freely into the tank, g. which is immediately filed thus overbalancng the weight, 4, which is on the other end of lever, ,, thus forcing open the gate which suddenly relieves the canal of large sur plus of water. When body of water recedes below a certain level, no more water is admitted to the tank; therefore empties itself by small faucet opening, 6, at the bottom; this being dOne the weight overbalances tank and brings down the lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate closes it. This operation continues at short in tervalS so long as the body of water keeps rising over a certain level The lever, gate, pipe and tank are all rigid and hinge, or pivot, on hori- zOntal shaft. The gate, Hume or bsx can be made any height width, or length desired. The gate can be hinged between any bulkhead without box
 The Water Gate is a Perfect Safety Valve, and is to body of water what safety valve is to steam. They be made any size, corresponding with body of water and size of canal. It is secured by letters patent, and for sale only by
