vessels of 14,150 tons displacement
These in turn will be surpassed by the
Magnificent and Majestic, each OF
which viii displace l4.900 tons. The
largest armor-clad over which the
French flag floats is the Admiral Bau
din, of Il, ,90o tons, and next to her is
the Lazare Carnot, only eighty tons
smaller. Germany's largest armor-clad
is the Brandenburg, OF 9 $40 tons. Aus
tria has never built any armor-clads
save those Of moderate dimensions, her
largest, the Tegetthof, being of 1850
tons. Spain's largest IS the Pelayo. OF
300 tons. The three United States
battleships of the first class which have
been launched are the Massachusetts,,
Oregon and Indians, each of 10, 200 tons
displacement. The Iowa, now build
ing, will be II ,29e tons There is now
a reaction against monster ships Eng
land is the only naval power that per-
sists 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 dimeh-
sions OF their latest armor-clad author
lied. which will have 9,sO0 tons
displacement. The determination of
France and the United States to keep
their battleships under IL, 900 tons was
deliberately taken by each govern
ment, after weighing weight against
efficiency. In this policy Russia also
agrees. the largest of her armor-clads
in service being the Georgi Pooiedono-
setz, of 10,2eo tons, while her naval con-
structors regard 1o.000 tons as about
the proper limit
Of the cruisers now afoat the Rus
sian Rurik Is the largest and probabi
taking all things into consideration,
the most powerful. She is arnor belt
ed and is of 10000 tons displacement,
almost 1000 tons larger Than the Blake.
The English have authorized two
cruisers of Il, 900 tons each, being de-
termined to see the Rurik and go her
a.1Oo tons better. As In the ease OF
armor-clads England stands alone in
accepting this challenge. Her Blake
and Blenhein are not only exceeded by
the Rurik but by the Spanish Empera-
dor Carlos V, which has o,235 tons dis
placement. The largest French cruises
IN active service is the D'Entrecas-
teauS, Of 1900 tons, but the Jeanne
dare is being enlarged TO total dis
placement of 500 tons The largest
cruiser class of the italian service

A RoyaI Game Preserve Where Fragrant
Lilies Grew.

a hoySi Game Preserve w mere TTdkhSHs
Lilies Grew.
Chantilly is the game-preserve of a
hunter-prince. and everything about 1T
Is ordered for the chase. Those wide
open CLASSY glades, studded with birch
or oakscrub. are haunted by the deer,
and in those thicl1ets of golden broom
the heavy does prepare their nurseries.
Great, houndering, russet pheasants
come flying by; at every step hare or
q white-tailed rabbit starts up out OF
the grass. At the further end of the
forest there are deep unsightly thick
cts of mud and thorn, left darkling
amid the trim order of the place, for
the wild boar delights in them. AS we
walk or drive down the neat-clipt ave-
Eues of the forest the roads appear i'm
passable TO the traveller, and we won
der at the contrast between their shoals
of sand and the careful forestry that
pares and cuts every wildiIg z branch of
the over-arching horn-beam roof. But
the roads are bad on purpose; every
spring they are plOwed afresh. lest they
lose the lightness beloved of the horse
man.
Every May a beautiful fault frus-
trates this slxillful venery. for, thick as
grass, thick and sweet, the lily of the
valley springs in all the brakes and
shady places. The scent of the game
Will not lie across these miles of bios
som. The hunters are in despair and
the deer, still deafened with the win
ter's yelp of the hounds-the deer, who
sets his back against the sturdiest oak
and butts at the pack with his antlers,
who swims the lakes and from his
island refuge sells his life as hard as
he can-the deer, accustomed to be al
ways vanquished, behOlds himself at
last befriended by an ally more in
vincible than water or forest oak, by
the sweet, innumerable white lily, in
nocent as himself, that every Maytime
sends the huntsmen home.
The lily that saves the deer is the
consolation of poor women. Every
morning during the brief season of its
blossom they are up before the dawn.
Holding their children by the hand,
they are off to the innermost dells Of
Its forest, and before our breakfast
time they are back at the railway sta
tions of Chantilly or Creil, laden with
punches of lilies, which they sell to the
dusty passengers bound by the morn
ing mails for London or for Brussels

New England Children yyhs Rsve shown
Gyeat Courage In Rescuins Piaymates.
A few weeks ago the Boston Tran
script recorded the award of medal
by the Massachusetts, Humane society
to girl of seven in Lynn who had
saved from drowning another lass Of
the same age. Notable as the action
was. it lie interesting to bear that such
incidents are common, though they
have not always commanded recogni-
tion from the humane society. A cor
respondent to Essex sendsus two items
which show that the Sobler qualities Of
human nature may be developed or
at least manifested at very early age.
About year ago some boys were
playing on the railroad when an ex-
press train came along. The whistle
was sounded, and all but one little
fellow got off in ample time, the one
left being but three years old, and
of course unable to appreciate his
danger. One of the lads, ten years old,
jumped for his companion and pulled
him away just as the pilot of the en-
gine brushed against his clothing.
The engineer said: when / saw the
bigger boy jump for the smaller one I
thought that there would be two killed
outright instead of one"
On recent winter day boy of six
fell through the ice, and another boy.
aged ten, catching him by the collar,
tried TO pull him out, but he was not
strong enough, so he called for another
boy, lad OF but eight years, and with
his help they saved their companion
They were all in a peculiarly perilous
position, and the wonder is that any of
the three escaped alive, yet with the
Indifference to danger characteristic OF
most boys when their sympathies are
aroused, they spoke of the venture as
