NEW WARsHIPs.
Secretary Herbert Wants Congress to Au-
thorize Their Construction.

Secretary Herbert Wants Congress to Au-
thorize Their Construction.
| WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The most
important recommendation made by
Secretary Herbert in his annual report
is that congress authorize the construc.
tion OF three great battleships Of about
10000 tons displacement each, to cost.
exclusive of armament, not exceeding
$4,000, 900 each, and 10 torpedo boats of
from 100 to 800 tons each, at the discre-
ton of the secretary, to cost not ex-
ceeding an average of $4,000.
Since his last report five splendid
ships have been added to the naval list,
three OF which are capable of speed in
excess Of 81 knots, while two. of
them are the feetest cruisers in
the world. The five vessels are
the Marblehead, Columbia, Olympia,
Montgomery and Minneapolis. One
important change of naval policy is
noted in connection with the advertise.
ments for three new torpedo boats,
soon to be issued. The secretary says
that no speed premiums will be allowed
on these boats; that the premium sys-
tenn undoubtedly had its advantages
when adopted, but the department. is
now convinced that the time has come
when, with the experience gained, it
may with profit be abandoned
In conclusion the secretary submits
estimates for the next year, aggregat-
ing $27, $685. ,914, exceeding the current
appropriations by $5,455, 1913, caused
mainly by the necessity of paying for
vessels now under contract, It is
stated that after this year the appro-
priations on this score will rapidly di.
minish-falling from $13, 259, 1893 next
wear. to $3.50. 900 in the following year.
THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
Secretary Smiths Report Deals Largely
With Indian Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The. annual
report of Secretary Hoke Smith of the
interior department deals largely with
Indian affairs especially, and he pre-
sents some practical suggestions for the
development and civilization of the
saes. Besides giving a succinct his
tory of the progress of the Indian
bureau during the past 10 months the
secretarv reviews the problem of eff.
fective work for the advancement Of
the Indians. He discusses the subject
OF education and of allotments of land
in severalty, and urges that the educa.
tion Of the Indians should be for the
purpose of fitting them to perform the
particular responsibilities most likely
to fall to their after lot.
Regarding Pensions.
The report shows that the entire
number Of pensioners upon the rolls
June 80, 1894, was 969,54k The esti.
mate for the fiscal year 1896 is Sl4O,.
600, 900. Pensioners Sdded to the roll
during the year, S9,os5; number
dropped, s1,951. The greater part of
the cases now pending in the bureau
are old cases. Many of them have been
pending for years and have. been exam.
tned one or more times prior to this ad.
mlnlstration. Upon examination it
has been found in many instances that
proof was not sufficient to sustain a
pension. The attention of the appli.
cants having been called to the defec-
tlon, IN some cases efforts have been
made to supply the needed testimony
possible to the analysis of the statistics
presented.

treasure Sustained by Divers.

Have you any idea of the enormous pressure sustained by submarine divers while plying their dangerous vacations, We will take 100 feet as the average dep that which such tradesmeu work and Use that as basis of calculation. At q depth of 100 feet, which does not seem excessive when we consider the fact that there are spots ill the oceans which are approximately five miles deep, the pres sure on the divers body is II pounds for each square inch of surface. Let us see what this means. The average man of lJ6 pounds has body of sufficient proportions to present l2 square feet of surface to the pressure of the waters. This means that the ordinary diver must work i'll q place where his body Is sub- jccted to a pressure of 3S tons Nor is this all For every 27 inches of depth descended below the 100 foot line which we have adopted as basis of calcula- tiOn there must be added one pound pressure to each square inch of the di- ver's bodily surface. Persons who think that divers regularly descend to the bot tom of the oceans in the deepest places will probably be surprised to learn that the greatest depth to which man has as yet attained is only 21O feet St Louis Republic

AMUSING THE QUEEN.
How Maids of Honor Arc Selected and
 some of Their Duties.

How Maids of Honor Arc Selected and
 some of Their Duties.
 Maids of honor are chosen by the queen herself from among the daughters of peers, who, if not themselves connect cd with tho royal household, are per sonal friends of her majesty. A letter is always sent to the parents of the young lady requesting that as personal favor to the queen she may be permitted to attend at court. As the position is un- deniablc and the salary is $500 year, the request is invariably accepted, and the newly chosen maid receives from the lord chamberlain the command for her first wait. -
 The first thing brought to the maid of honor is her badge, which is a min iature picture of the queen set in bril- liants and hung from ribbon. Just before the dinner hour the maid of hon. or in waiting has to stand in the corri- dor outside the queens private apart ments. She carries bouquet, which on entering the dining room she lays at the right hand of the queens plate.
 The maid of honor sits at dinner next to the gentleman on the quoen's right. This rule is. however, relaxed when royal guests are present. After dinner, unless otherwise commanded, the maid of honor retircs to her own room, whence however, she is frequently called to read, sing. play tho piano or take a hand at cards.
 As regards this last, the household have always to be provided with fresh- ly coined money, for the queen is not supposed to handle money which has ever been in circulation. New York Advertiser

Grants Ercatucs>. and he appreciated his valor Rs soldier and his usefulness tn his country. l recall several incidents of the exchange uf cuurtt'~iCs hCtwCCn our distinguished visitor and our emperor. For instance, when General Grant reach cd Il certain river whCr,' thcrc k one hriI!sc for the common herd and ano her beside 1t called the SacrCd bridge, on account of its being solely for the usC of the mikatlo, his majesty issued an CtiCt declaring the bridge open to General Grant and his par ty. Grant was shown n translati ion of the edict by one of the members Uf the impC- rial household who was accompanying him. but after silently pulling his cigar a moment the general said, II will bC the last person to break a law of Japan" and crossed the public bridge. Thcsc incidents will servo to show how surely Japan iS becoming Eurupcanizcd, for bCforc the restoration" a short 27 years ago the Cm- pcror was considered too sacrCJl q person to be seen by the eyes of common mOrtals. Now, however, since European education has taken root; since European thought has been infused; above all, since the adop- ton of q constitution. tho ruling head of Japan has been growing less and less ex- elusive.
 European Dress.
 Another question which my American friends often ask Is, What costume did you wear when you wcrc presented to the mikadoi" Having been to sec The Mi kado" as presented in opera by Gilbert and Sullivan, my friends evidently conclude that the mikado and those of his court dress in real life just as represented on the stage. Of course such Is not the case. That style of dress at court Is no longer in vogue. The emperor. having established his court on the same plan and principle as the courts of Europe, has also adopted European dress. Hence, instead Uf the flow ing robes and sashcs gorgeous in many colors which some believe wore, was at tired in an ordinary Prince Albert or frock coat-in fact, l was dressed just as any American gentleman would dr,ss at an afternoon function. Tho mikado too. was similarly attired. looking very hand some indeed in his well fitting coat Oncc adopted at court, European clothes became the fashion among the upper classes throughout tho land. Today nearly all the Japanese of tho upper class arc to Do seen in the streets of Tokyo wearing the rcgu lation European attire.
 The Audience Hall.
 "How was the audience hall in which you were presented to the mikado furnish edr' Is another query that has been put to me. can simply say that the audience chamber, like most JAl sncsc interiors, was not furnished at all There may have been a cabinet, with polished sides and a glass front on tho walls, and thcro may have been a screen or two. There were mats and rugs on the floor, of course, but in tho European sonsc of what constitutes . fully furnished room could hardly say that tho room was furnished.

COMMISSIONER LocHIEN Is proud of hIs administration of the business of the pen sion office and welcomes the publication of facts about that office, but he has this to say about a statement lately given wide circulation by Assistant Secretary Mckee, of the republican campaign committee: ''Secr. tary Mckee is either imposed on by somebody CT x circulating palpable false hoods. He s..ys that there were 50.OOO notices raeptrrd to be sent to old soldiers. asking them to show cause why their pen sions should not be dropped or reduced; that those were all ready to be sent but it was determined to withhold them till after election. It Is not suggested how such a glut of notices could have accumulated be- fore there was any purpose to withhold them. The whole story Is too palpably untrue to deceive anyone who will con- siier it a moment. No notices will be withheld Seer tary Smith says: 1t is merely a campaign lie"

Tmu~E who have read James Jeffrey Roche's Life of John Boyle O'Reilly." may recall tine story of the cruise of the Catalps. the vessel that put out from New Bedford in 1875. ostelslbly to catch whales. but really to rescue some fenians who Were imprisoned in western Australia. from which place O'Rrilly himself had irevlouSly escaped. What lends a partic- uIar interest 70 this expedition just now is the fact that John W. Golf, who is the candidate for recorder on the reform ticket in New York. was one of the prime movers in the rescue, as a reference to MT Roche's book will show. Mir Golf is an Irishman by birth. and in his law office in New York there is a llsu of the Catalpa on the wall, and he tells his visitors that it WAS presented to him a little while ago as a memento of the plots and plans and tr;umphs of 1875.

How to whiten the wbi.ker,.

A farmer ill Bucks county, with black hair and mustache and a three days growth of snow white whiskers, drop ped into Ninth street barber shop, and ill the course of conversation with the loquaciouS artist it appeared that the farmer had for years shaved himself with jackknife. He thought that perhaps that had something to do with the pc culiar hirsute contrast, and the barber promptly confirmed his opinion. ''The pulling of q dull razor on the roots of the whiskers, said the barber, de strOys ill q short time all the oil and pigment that gives color. Most men have too much regard for their nerves to keep it up long enough to turn the beard entirely white, but many partial ly gray ones are due to that cause. A keen blade improperly handled is equal ly harmful, as close scrape of the skin results ill numberless seed warts, which can only be removed by a surgical oper- ation. ''-Philadelphia Record

 ''Why do you presume that:" she asked, with q snap, for the visitor look cd as if he might be some kind of an agent.
 "A friend of mine. Mir Smith, who used to board here. told me I'd recog- nize you as n lady of about 5o."
 She fairly gasped at this.

 He did. madam"
 And you recognized mo by that de- scription?"
 Tho visitor knew something about discretion being tho better part of valor, having been an agent for Q long time.
 "I did not, madam, he responded.
