OUR NAVAL STRENGTH.
No New Battleship This Year, but Gu
Fleet Ultimately TO Be Larger.

No New Bartlcship This Year, but Our
Fleet Ultimately TO Be Larger.
The present and prospective naval strength
of the United States, in comparison with that
of foreign powers. is set forth in the report Of
the House Committee on Naval Affairs pre-
sented to-day by Chairman Cummings.
The report states that the committee have
reluctantly concluded not to recommend the
construction of a new battleship. Secretary
Herbert had asked for another such ship,
but the committee says that the depleted con-
dition of the Treasury will not permit the ex-
peuditure. 1t is urged, however, that there
must be no halt in building up the new navy.
England proposes, says the report, to begin
seven battleships of the first class, six cruis
ers OF the second class, and two sloops. Italy,
with depleted treasury. is preparing to build
three first class batt.eships, three cruisers,
twelve torpedo boats and four transports.
Germany France and Russia are going to
even greater lengths to secure the increase OF
their navies. The report adds:
In view of these facts it would certainly not
be safe Tor the United States 10 build no more
battleships and cruisers. With increasing
prosperity the work should go on until the
American navy is strong enough to meet all
eXigencies. The slight increase proposed by
the committee will certainly not burden the
country with taxation during the coming
year. and with renewed prosperity the work
can be continued in the future without over
burdening the nation.

really became quite desperate and struck him
in the face. metophorically, with some re-
marks that were meant to be scorniul and
sarcastic. OF course. if she had known any
thing about mules. she would have been
aware that such treatment only makes them
lump back: but she was of the infantry and
can be excused for not knowing anything
about live stock. Experience taught her,
though. and she came to learn to let the mule
think he was free and going alone. The ex-
pertinent worked like charm. Patten began
to fear that he was losing the alteration, and
advanced few steps. Bertha received his
oyertures with delight. and Patten was wise
enough to keep her u little delighted all the
time. He did not think, now, that he was
really in love; on the contrary, he was snre
that his first love was yet to come; but Bertha
was pastime, at any rate.
Things progressed nicely now. Patten and
Miss Ruggies took frequent horseback rides,
and often did not get home until after dark.
The first time this happened Bertha ap-
preached her mammals presence with fear
and trembling. She did not know what her
mother would say, but she was sure of good
berating from a none too gentle tongue
Fancy, then, her surprise and delight at being
met with a sweet ''go and eat your dinner
dear; I've had it kept warm" At the monthly
hop Patten danced most of time with Bertha,
ana forgot to complain of the scratches she
made on his beautiful pumps. Every one
was sure they were engaged; only Miss Rug
giles and her mother were the least bit uneasy.
II 1t happened, as it sometimes did, that
day passed without Bertha's spending several
hours in the heutenant's society, home was

for year. He was pretty badly in debt to
the sutler, and was likely to become more so
if he was not given something to do
with his evenings very soon. He did not
like reading; he was too lazy to hunt, and
there was nothing but the elusive prairie dog
to hunt in any case; he was the only bachelor
at the fort-which was hundred miles from
the railroad, by the by-and the married
women could not be induced to flirt-with
him, at any rate. So the soil was ripe
Now, just in the nick of time, Capt. Rug
giles pretty daughter came on from New Eng
land boarding school as innocent, simple,
pink and white as such girls should be. OF
course Patten called on her the night of her
arrival, as Is customary in army posts. He
found her quite interesting. She sat and
smiled and drank in his poured-out wis
dom as the soil of the plains drinks rain,
and the wisdom was lost in the sandy depths
of her unsophisticated soul, as is also lost the
little rain which falls on the parched prairies
However, she evidently admired him, and he
went home convinced that this really was his
first love, this time. In New England board
ing schools a man is never seen, so he was
Miss Ruggles' first experience OF the sex, and
she was sure, too, that this was not only her
first. but her only love. Now Patten liked
the sensation of thinking of some one else; It
was novel, and there was blessed little nov-
city in the posi- at any time, as he said-only
he did not say ''blessed" exactly.
The trouble with the novelties is that as
soon as they are experienced few times they
cease to be novelties and so lose their spice.
That was the way with this one. After a
week or two of thinking Of Miss Ruggles,

THE ADOPTION
LITTLE CHILD.

The study of child culture is the most inter-
most developing.
As an experiment. child culture yields
double and triple the result of the pursuit of
any other science. As, for example. there is
the benefit to the child. the benefit TO the
community, and the reaction upon the char
acter of the student who is personally inter-
. Sested in the experiment.
woman of fortune is now trying such an
experiment in child culture up in the middle
of New York state. After travelling the wide
world over and visiting every place save the
North Pole and darkest Africa, she came back
to her native land.
l am glad this was her native land, because
we couldn't afford to he without such a
woman. She looked tie future over and saw
nothing that interested her She had no rela-
tives and nobody who cared for her specially.
and everybody was busy, and she had nothing
to do. 1t is a forlorn feeling, that of being
necessary to nobody. She concluded she
would become necessary, and would have q
home Of her own. She owned a farm in
Schoharie valley, and there was nothing but
the loneliness OF il to prevent it sbeing the gar
den spot of all the world to her. Incidentally
she wrote to a few friends that she would
adopt a child, and if they knew of one
they might send it on, for she had deter
termined on settling down and bringing up
some one to love her, care for her when she
was old, and also to inherit her money. Well,
now. maybe you think those women to whom
she wrote lost time in looking up babies, but
they didn't. Babies-nice babies, too; fat,
rosy, dimpled. jolly, good-natured, bottle
babies-were shipped to her from all points
OF the compass, and she has six all her own
legally adopted-and she has something to
live for. and lot to do, and will have plenty
TO love her when she grows old. She has
trained nurses to look after them, and by and
by she will have governesses and-well i'm
agine it all out for yourself. It's true story.
It's story that makes you tack your faith TO
humanity.
The Washington times., 1894-04-19

bronco every step of the way had she been
alone Lieut. Patten was mounted when the
party arrived, and he suggested that he and
Bertha go for a little ride if she were not too
tired. Tired! not she; she fairly beamed with
delight. But after an hours scramble on the
foothills they came back. and matters had not
progressed at all. Patten was lovely, but not
quite lovely enough. Visions OF maternal
wrath began to float before Bertha's eyes and
dimmej the glory OF the sunset which she and
the young cayalryman watched together from
under big pine. Sunset is the accepted
time for saying those things which Patten
should have said; but he did not seem to know
it.
Then they had supper cooked over the
campfire. The married women seemed to
find it verv jolly. Bertha thought, wistfully.
1t was determined after supper that couple
of "a" tents should be prepared for the party
of women, that they might spend the night
in camp. and courier was sent of to tell
those left behind.
There was still life and still hope, thought
Bertha, but every moment was precious. Why,
then, should those women, with all the ira
ditional barbarity of chaperons, say that they
were tired and carry Miss Ruggles of to bed?
But SO 1t was; and that evening, which might
have turned out so well, was spoiled and lost
forever
At daylight, however, Bertha emerged from
her tent. She looked haggard after her sleep
less night, and the cold, cruel light OF the
morning was not becoming.
The soldiers had been up several hours
already, and breakfast-real camp breakfast
OF bacon, coffee, yeast powder biscuits, and
canned beans-was nearly ready. Miss Rug

If 1t Is Not, You Would Better Engage a

When the daughter of the house. says the
New York World, takes to signing and adopts
languid ways, don't jump Immediately to the
conclusion that the interchangeable influence Of
gentle Spring is manifesting itself in her.
When the son and heir of tho family takes to
growing impatiently over triles and loses his
temper more frequently than is pleasing, don't
decide that fis business or lis studies are
worrying the poor fellow. But look to the
plumbing.
Poor plumbing is the root OF all evil. And
good plumbing gets out of repair with such
marvellous ease. Malaria generally means
defective sewer. and bad temper results from
poor drainage as often as from natural de-
pravity. Therefore it behooveS the woman
who has any regard for herself and those OF
her household 10 include the plumbing in the
Spring house cleaning. In the Spring, the
system being relaxed and sometimes worn
from the Winters strain, Is more liable to be
affected by the noNious gases and yltlated air
than at any other time. and that is the reason
that the Spring is an excellent season to sum-
mon the plumber along with the wallpaperer,
the painter and other presiding geniuses OF
the season.
There are some things Of which no woman
VINO undertakes 10 manage q mouse SnOuiu Dc
ignorant One of these is the sort of sewer
age with which the house is provided. Ger
tain sorts of drains and traps are found In
houses built long ago which are menace to
the health of the occupants OF those houses.
The housewife should be enough of a pracu-
cal plumber to recognize the old style when
she sees it, and enough of an economist to de-
eide to go without a Summer vacation II nee
essary in order to have the new and improved
sort substituted. She will not be- SO likely TO
need an outing il her house is properly
equipped in the matter of drains.
When 1t is absolutely impossible to have
the best plumbing in the house. there are
certain things which may be done to counter
act the influence of poor plumbing. Every
window in the house should be opened little
from the top, even in cold weather. so that
fresh air may be constantly entering. Every
room in which there are pipes, bowls. or tubs
should also be furnished with disinfectants.
OF course. the least offensive disinfectant is
most desirable in such cases. All drains
should be flushed every day with plenty of
hot water and soda. Everything about the
sinks and bowls should be kept scrupulously
clean.
But the only sure way to escape the evils of
defective plumbing is to have the best sort of
plumbing done, and then to take just the
same precautions against disease as II the
house were fitted with the pipes of century
ago,

giles felt her breath come in gasps as Patten
strobe up to her and doffed his campaign hat.
He only mentioned the weather and asked
how she had slept. Bertha said mot well"
in a tone that should have melted the heart
Of any officer; but he only supposed 1t was
the mosquitoes-they had bothered him too."
Then they had breakfast, and Miss Ruggles
hid her white face behind the regulation tin
quart-cup OF coffee.
After that the tents were struck and the wag-
ons loaded with true soldierly dispatch and the
men stood, foot in the stirrup, awaiting the
order Mount" Patten and Miss Ruggles
stood little apart. He was already on horse
back and she, in her habit, stood beside him,
giving him cup of coffee. Her whole anx-
ious little soul was in her eyes and she beat
the toe Of her broad little boot nervously with
her willow riding-switch.
Patten leaned over her. "This Is a stirrup-
cup, suppose" he said; ''let's call it SO any
way; it sounds romantic and"-tenderly-"1
love romance, don't you?'' Bertha said

lips, then lowered it again: 81 must drink

may. Then let me drink your very COOS
health, and wish that the first time you love
1t may be happily. and that you will let me,
as an old friend, te the first to know the
name Of the happy man." He emptied the
cup, and, at the command, trotted away with
his troop, strapping the tin cup to his saddle.

BRECKENRIDGE AND CRISP.
The Colonel Once Objected to the Speaker
Because He Was an Actor.
GFrom the Daily Americal


Because He Was an Actor.
(From the Daily AmericaI
Congressman Breckinridge made his ap-
pearance at the House to-day for the first
time since the great trial. He walked around
before that body was called to order with q
jaunty air.
He has never been in Speaker Crisp's room.
He has always had contempt for the
Speaker. because that gentleman comes from
theatrical stock. After Mr.. Crisp was elected
Speaker, the third highest position in the
government. Mr.. Breckinridge, who had op-
posed his candidacy most bitterly, remarked
that it was disgrace to the country to think
that a person who had even himself been
an actor should be elevated to such an ex-
alted position.
Mr. Crisp, of course, heard of this remark,
and he is not likely to forget it. He and Mr..
Breckinridge only exchange greetings in a
formal way. Naturally, the Speaker was very
much surprised, having to glance up to-day
TO see the Kentucky Congressman marching
into his room. The Speakers face flushed
little. but, remembering that Breckinridge
might want to speak to him in his official ca
pacity the Speaker bowed and asked Breck-
inridge if he would be seated.
No thank you," said Breckinridge, az
just came in to pay my respects, as had been
absent for some tine"
Speaker Crisp did not at once answer him,
and, Breckinridge evidently realizing that he
would not Immediately do SO, walked out into
the lobby. He accosted every member with
whom he had had any particular acquaint-
ance, and in every case the reception he re-
ceived was rather cool While the chaplain
was delivering prayer. Breckinridge stood up
with his hands crossed and looked particu-
larly sanctimonious. AT the conclusion of the
prayer he was about the only person in the
House to join in amen.

such times Mrs. Ruggies' temper returned to
its natural state, from which it only emerged
when Patterns form rose against the horizon.
There came time when the lady's temper
did not sweeten for whole weeks-ir was when
the troops we're ordered away.
Patterns troop was among them, and Cap
tain Ruggle's company was not. This was
bad; it meant that Bertha would be 1.-THE girl

which was only a fortnight hence. Time
wore on; only a week was left and things
were at standstill. Bertha was nervous and
her mother was cross. The week became a
day. and still things were the same. There
remained one more chance, however; it was
forlorn hope.
The troops were to camp the first night only
ten miles away from the post, and most of the
ladies of the garrison were going out to take
supper with the departing officers then they
were to ride back by moonlight. Now or
never must Patten declare his intentions.
When he rode away with his troop that last
morning he stopped at Bertha's house and
impressed upon her that she must not fail to
come out thar evening, he "wanted to see her
very much," he added. in what the listening
Mrs. Ruggles considered a very significant
way. The good woman actually kissed Bertha
after the lieutenant had ridden away, and the
child was so surprised that she forgot to cry
because her warrior bold' had ridden
''bravely to the fray"
She really looked very pretty when she can

quite conildent Of victory; it seemed to her
that the others went very slowly through the

who he fondly called Bertha" in what an
swered for his mind, Patten got tired of it
and concluded that 'old things are best"
that he preferred his quondam occupation of
thinking only of himself, and he went back to
it; it was far less trouble. and he objected to
trouble, attending reveille was enough of it
for him in one day. Then n delightful elc-
ment was added to his former employment
He discovered in short time that some one
else was thinking of him. That was charm
ing. He sat back and enjoyed it, absorbed it.
Heretofore the garrison had never bothered
its head about him. and he had had only the
sickly comfort of telling himself that he rep
resented pearls, the garrison swine.
Here, however, was girl who knew
priceless jewel when she saw it. He admired
her taste, and smiled on her approvingly.
She smiled back, even more sweetly and, in
little ways entirely original and clever, she
tried to lead him on. For instance, she
walked up and down her porch on nice starry
nights and coughed now and then, gentle
little cough. She would go to the suffers for
crewels and ribbons at the hours when Patten
was likely to be there for his mail. Her horse
never would stand still at the mounting
block, the exasperating animal! If the young
officer were in sight. All these little tendrils
reaching out are such, we all know, as the
world has never known before.
But there was a good deal of the nature of
the government mule in Patten. The instant
he could see that some one was attempting to
lead him he would refuse to advance a step;
and he did see, despite Bertha's wholly
original methods Of procedure. So he stood
still, and the poor girl tugged and pulled, but
Patten refused to move ever SO little. She
