roRprpors AND NAm1rE SHELLS,

The Senate Committee on Naval At
fairs has authorized the chairman TO pre-
pare an amendment to the naval appro-
priatlon bin to provide for the construc-
ton Of fifteen torpedo boats for coast
defence.
This Is wise action. The sinking Of
the Aquidaban In Brazilian waters is a
circumstance which naturally arrests the
attention of all those engaged in devel-
oping the science of modern naval war
fare. 1t has always been known, Of
course. that IL an enemy could propel a
torpedo successfully against the SUBJ
merged portions OF a battle-ship, how
ever armored above the water line. n
explode 1t there. the battle-ship would
be sunk. 1t has been supposed, however,
that the fire from the rapid-fre guns
would max 1t impossible for a torpedo
boat 10 approach Gear enough to a mod
ern battle-ship TO direct It's torpedoes
with any accuracy OF aim. But the boat
which u the Aquidaban came near
enough 10 her to send their torpedoes at

work. although struck several times by
shots from the A~quidaban's guns We
are not entirely ready 10 base mai con-
illusions upon any experience whatever
Of Brazilian contests, but the fact that
the torpedo-boat did survive the battle
ships fire. though repeatedly struck. and
did actually sink the battie-ship, is a
fact OF powerful significance. n one
mat cannot be overlooked. The minds
OF the torpedo experts will be powerfully
stimulated by this experience to the
conclusion hat the battie-ship IS no match
for the forpedo-boat. and we are inclIning
TO that opinion ourselves.

Hook with shells charged with very high

A Life Insurance Agent Wants
Concerning a Eiss Morris in Virginia..

Edward NJ. Stephens, a solicitor Of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., 2l0l
Reed street, Philadelphia, wrote to the
postmaster OF his city a few days
ago, making inquiry concerning a sister
of Thomas Norris, aged thirty, who
died in that city a few days age.
He is described by the writer OF the
letter. as having a sandy complexion
and smoothe face"
He was at one time an agent or the
Prudential Life Insurance Company, and
for the last three months represented
the Cosmopolitan Sick Benefit Company.
He was run over by a t~rolley-car in
Philadelphia. April 7th; one of his legs
was cut off. and an eye knocked out,
and he died in the Pennsylvania Hospital.
The writer thinks his sister, a Miss
Morris, lives somewhere near Richmond.
The writer says. HE told me While
living that he had only a sister living,
his father and mother were dead, and he
came from Virginia. | have forgot the
town in which he said she lived. The
coroner here has his watch. also a bank
book with a deposit Of $50 on ii, and
he had his life insured FOR $500. He was
inferred temporarily in a vault at Lafay-
cite cemetery, Tenth and Federal streets.

This Is What the summer girl will look
like when she comes forth in her glory
along with the June roses. | am very
much afraid that next summers girl
Will get her face badly Drowned, for the
dainty parasols which look so pretty are
OF almost no service. What can you ex-
pect OF a combination of lace hat and
lace parasol? To be sure, the hats are
broad enough, but 1t doesn't help matters
any TO spread the mist out.
There are some Leghorns in Gainsbor-
ough shapes, which will probably be worn
to the race-track, their size being sufii-
cient to obstruct the view of half a
dozen men. When women get their
rights they will put a stop to this sort
Of thing, but so long as that obnoxious
word remains in the Constitution, men
will continue to endure the persecution
which her privileges involve. Uniess-and
IL Is almost safe TO assert that IL VIII
be so from experiences in the past-un-
less woman Is to have her rights and
privileges both. But it is the winter girl
who thinks about such serious things as
rights" She makes these troublesome
things an excuse for all sorts of teas and
luncheons. | wonder why subjects OF
this kind always seem to whet a woman's
appetite. l suppose it Is the same In
fuence which moves a man to treat
his neighbor when he finds that they
agree In their politics.
However, the summer girl will have
forgotten all about her rights n
will be looking for some one of the tyran-
nical sex to carry her jacket and parasol
just as OF yOre.
This one that | am going to describe
has a dainty, lace-edged parasol with
Dresden handle. Her dress has a lace
trimmed overskirt draped over a brocaded
underskirt. The sleeves are brocade, and
and the bodice fastens 70 one side with
a lace rever, collar, and girdle. a
~sprightly bow is set on the shoulder and
another at the hip where the oyerskirt
is draped.
The hat IS accordeon-plaited, white
swiss. trimmed with summer flowers.

the great mass of American women nave
NOT tried TO understand the questions or

men. Undoubtedly the spirit oil pollucal
craftsmanship has always been strong
among them, more especially during a
heated canvass, but 1t has been tlndled
rather by their sympathy with men IMAM
by convictions of their own produced by
any thorough and comprehensive knowl-
edge of the public issues in dispute. Poll
ties is a principal topic OF conversation
among men. Generally, among American
women 1t has been ignored. Educated
English women have long taken an IN
t~elligent part In private discussions or
English politics, but here women OF equal
ability have been accustomed to drop out
of such conversation as a matter Oh
course, their ignorance of the subject
or Indifference to 1t being assumed.
