Celebrating the Fourth.


Englishmen al a rule are patriotic
and have a firm belief that theirs Is the
greatest nation in the world. An
American travelling with a party of
English people planned an excursion to
a mountain from which a good view
could be obtained; a young Englishman
offered to act as guide. "Englishmen
always lead" he exclaimed, looking
back ut the American some distance in
the rear. Il noticed you were travelling
pretty fast" answered the American,
''but Englishmen always do run when
the Yankees are behind them.'
In the course Of his journey the same
gentleman found himself the only
American on board an English ship.
The Fourth of July was at hand, and 1t
occurred to him that the day might be
observed by some suitable celebration.
The captain entered int the plan.
The ship was decorated with red,
white and blue salutes we're fred at
daybreak an unusually good dinner was
served, and an orator appointed.
This orator was an Englishman, but
he did not shrink from his task.
II never expect to enjoy another
Fourth of July SO much as I did that"
said the American in telling the story;
''but by the time that fellow got
through his speech I was a little puz-
zled to know what 1t raj we were cele-
brating anyhow. I began to feel as IL
history ~had got a little mixed. How
ever, twas a good speech just the
same"

A unique operation has been success
fully performed by DR.. James Haley,
a veterinary surgeon of New London.
A handsome little cocker spaniel was
brought to him a short time ago suf-
fering with curvature of the spine as
the result of q kick administered by
some brute.
The little fellows back was twisted
out of shape and he was practically
helpless. His back legs were helpless
and he could not move. He was al
ways O sufferer and kept moaning and
whining. DIR. Haley thought when he
first saw the dog the most humane
thing to do was to kill him, but he was
such a handsome little fellow the doctor
thought he would try to save him.
After administering an anesthetic the
spine was Strengthened and the dog was
encased in a plaster Of paris jacket,
swung in straps and given proper medi-
cine and food. Finally, this week the
plaster was removed and the dog stood
on his feet for a moment in a surprised
sort Of way, then he wagged his tail,
gave a spring into the air, and. with a
loud bark, started on on a dead run
in q circle, barking like mad. He kept
It up for about ten minutes, and seemed
anxious to show every one he was
all right.

ever was, climbs stairs without trouble,
and gets about with just as much ease
as any Of his playfelloWs. The doctor

The Hoverty-stricken Kingdom of
Italy Owns Two Tremendous Fight
ing Vessels.
The biggest armor clads in the world
are the Italian Italia and Lepanto. sis
ter ships, each of 1890 tons displace-
mcnt says the Boston Transcript. Next
to them comes the monster English
battle ships of the Royal Sovereign
class, vessels of ALSO IONS displace-
ment. These in turn will be surpassed
by the Magnificent and Majestic, each
Of which will displace 14,9OO tons. The
largest armor clad over which the
French flag floats is the Admiral Bau-
din, Of 1900 tons, and next to her is
the Lazare CarnOt, only eighty toms
smaller. Germany's largest armor-clad
is the Brandenburg, of 9,S4O tons. Aus
tria has never built any armor-clads
save those of modern dimensions, her
largest, the Tegetthoff, being Of 1850
tons. Spain's largest is the Pelayo, OF
$500 tons. The three United States bat
tie ships of the first class which have
been launched are the Massachusetts,
Oregon and Indiana, each of 10000
tons displacement. The Iowa, now
building, will be II ,206 tons. There Is
now a reaction against monster ships.
England is the only naval power that
persists in the policy Of building them,
and apparently she is nearing a halt.
The Italians have come to the conclu-
sion; that is indicated by the dimen-
sions of their latest armor-clad author
lied, which will have $500 tons dis
placement. The determination Of
France and the United States to keep
their battle ships under IL, tons was
deliberately taken by each government
after weighing weight against eff
cheney. In the policy Russia also agrees
the largest of her armor-clads in SER
vice being the Georgi Pobiedonosetz, Of
1O,2SO tons, while her naval construct
ors regard $4,000 tons as about the
proper limit.
OF the cruisers now af1oat the Rus
sian Rurik is the largest and probably,
taking all things into consideration, the
most powerful. She is armOr belted
and Is of 10000 tons displacement, al
most 1000 tons larger than the Blake.
The English have authorized two cruis-
ers of 14,0OO tons each, being deter
mined to see the Rurik and go her. g.
100 tons better. AS in the case of arm
Or-clads England stands alone in ac-
cepting her challenge. Her Blake and
Blenheim are not only exceeded by
Rurik but by the Spanish Emperador
Carlos ", which has 9,235 tons dis
placement. The largest French cruiser
in active service is the D'Entrecasteaux
of 1900 tons, but the Jeanne dare is
being enlarged to a total displacement
of $500 tons. The largest cruiser class
of the italian service either atloat or
authorized displace $500 tons each,
which is 450 tons more than Germany's
leader, the Kaiserin Augusta. The larg-
est of our cruisers atioat is the New
York, Of $3.50 tons, while the Brooklyn
building, will be 1000 tons larger.
