The South American Republic Ready
to Help Whip England.
BUENos AYREs, Dec. 19.-The general
topic of discussion here in official and
business circles is the message of Presi-
dent Cleveland on the Venezuelan
boundary question. Outside of the Eng
lish colony who regard the message as a
mere threat, the reception of its interpre

astic.
The Nacion says that the support of
all South American republics should be
given to the United States.
The Paragraphs adds that President
Cleve land is the greatest statesman of
the present time.

a little girl went with her mother to
see lady who was an assiduous collector
of china, and in whose parlor were cabi-
nets filled with her trophies, besides odd
plates and dishes, bearing indisputable
marks of age which hung in conspicuous
places on the walls.
The child sat quietly during the long
call, and while her mother and the china
collector talked of matters of mutual in
terest she looked about her with big, won
dering eyes.
Mamma " she said thoughtfully as she
was getting ready for bed that night,
"don't you feel sorry for poor Mrs. Has
kell, without any kitchen?"
without any kitchen, child? What do
you mean?" asked her mother
why, didn't you see?'' asked the little
girl in a tone of great surprise. "She has
to keep all her dishes in the parlorl''-

81 never have to worry about a present
for my husband said the woman who
was outlining her campaign of Christmas
shopping.
"Why not?'' asked her companion.
81 bought his present four years ago,
and this will bo-let me see-the fifth time
I've given it to him. -
"Why, what do you TneanP'
"Well gave him half dozen fine hand
kerchiefs one Christmas. He admired
them very much, but thought they were
altogether too good for everyday use, so he
asked me to put them away for him.
Next Christmas, when I was wondering
what 1 could get for him, 1 happened to
think of those handkerchiefs. There they
were at the bottom of the drawer. 1 took
them out and put them in different Kind
of box and gave them to him on Christmas
morning."
''And he didn't know the difference?"
"Bless you, no. He was perfectly de-
lighted. After he had shown them around
he asked me to put them away for him,
and of course he never asked for them
again.
$50 you've given him the same hand
kerchiefs every season."
Yes, and it's been a great scheme, be-
cause I've never had so much shopping
money as 1 wanted, and these handker-
chiefs have been quite a saving. I suppose
he thinks he has two or three dozen hand
kerchiefs put away somewhere, but he'd
never think to ask for them. They too
fancy for him.
''Well, 1 just think it's shameful to
treat man that way. You're almost as
bad as Cynthia Merritts husband Last
Christmas he bought her a sofa for
Christmas present, and she declares that
he's the only person that ever used it. -

BY act of congress, approved March 2,
1895, provision was made for the construc-
ton of two battle ships, to cost, exclusive
OF armament, not more than 81, 600, 600 each,
one of which was to be built on the Pacific
coast, or on the waters connected there
with, provided responsible bids could be OBJ
tanned from that locality. Congress further
required that one of these battle ships
should be named the Kearsarge. A special
provision had to be made by con greSS for
this, as. under the law, ships of this size
must be named for states, and congress
alone can modify this requirement. The
names will not be assigned to the ships,
however, until they are launched, in &C
cordance with the usual custom of the de-
partment. Until that date they will be
known as battle ships Nos and 6, since
four other battle ships were authorized be-
fore them-the Indiana, Massachusetts.
