recommendation of tho Board. lie has aIread y
approved the view of majority of its mem Der
that the new ship shonld; have the innovation
of dou ble-decked or two story turrets, armed

Secretary Lamont has authorized the ex-
penditure of $1,000 to allow the five COM
panes of infantry al Columbus Barracks. o..
to march TO Fort Thomas. Ky, to engage in
their annual target practice. The distance is
about 30 miles and the command will consume
about 10 days each way. This feature of prac-
tice marches was introduced into the Army by
Gen. SchOficld in 1ssS and has been continued
since The order regulating these marches re-
quires commanding officers TO en- 'orc- the most
rigid discipline. number of the troops arc
now on the march
The artillery at Madison Barracks Network
are Ell route 10 the Berkshire Hills MaSsachn-
setts, Il march which will consume about 30
days. The artillery aud cavalry stationed at
Fort Sheridan. Illinois, are route TO Camp
Douglas, Wisconsin, TO camp with the militia
Of that State. The artillery and cavalry at
Fort Myer and Washington Barracks made
practice march to Gettysburg. which occupied
about three weeks. This march proved very
valuable, as it established the worth of every
animal and trooper in the command. The
troops at Buffalo are on their way to Fort Mag
ara. and those of Fort Niagara marching
toward BuiiaIO. Since 1858 these marches
have cost the Government about $4,000 a
year.
Bids have been advertised for the six light
draft composite gunboqts These boats will he
of about 1000 tons displacement, and will be
built of wood below the water-line, fastened to
steel frames so that they may be coppcred, and
thus fitted for protracted cruising without
docking. They are required to show - knots
speed with small forced draft, aud while
there are no premiums for increased speed. u
penalty of $4,000 "a knot will be imposed for
any deficiency down to II knots, below which
speed the boats may he rejected by the Govern
ment or accepted only at q reduced price.
The Naval Board of Construction decided the
last disputed point connected with the plans
for the two new batile-shp s authorized by the
Naval appropriation bill for the current year.
This related TO the weight of the machinery
Chief Constructor IiichbOrn contended that not
more than 900 tons weight should be allowed,
while Engineer-in-Chief Melville held that he
needed allowance of 1900 tons for the
machinery, in order TO give the ships ll,O0O
horse power and their required speed of l6
knots per hour. The result of the discussion
WAS practically compromise. l.. 100 tons being
allowed for the weight and 10000 horse power

with Conductor in large letters written ON
it on their hats or over their shoulders. Though
there is no record Of any unpleasantness occur
ing to the women, and though it brought profit
to their church, yet it is not a scheme that one
would advise. man would certainly be re-
luetant to let his wife or aughter collect fares
in street car. It is too public place, and
many unpleasant scenes might easily occur. for
everyone would not remember that these
young women were collecting for their church,
or some passengers would not care. and would
take advantage Of their chance to say or do
something that might bring the blush to the
cheek Of some pretty chureh-woman.

A race with very small hands and feet is a
race that has for generations done very little
work and taken very little exercise. South
American ladies, of Spanish blood, can give
points regards tiny extremities to their An
dalusian ancestresses, merely because an alto
gether tropical climate compels the indolence
that semi-tropical climate fayors. When the
average Frenchman-and VI. Dandst is, in
many respects. a siReularly average French

clarifying idIeness. Not otherwise is the Chi
naman proud of the cramped feet of his woman
kind. as at once a certificate Of aristocratic
idleness aud safeguard against dangerous
excursions-Sketch.

There are some little Women " in Boston
donning of Turkish trousers to the sisters who
are hunting freedoms proper apparel. In the
public Fairgrounds and gynasiums for women
and girls may be any pleasant afternoon y
host of little girls who have solved tho problem
of proper dress for athletic sports They are
a ragged lot of little girls having very good
time-racng, jumping, climbing, and swing
ing. The belle, the aristocrat of the lot. has
trousers with a rutile at the knee aud blouse
with n sailor collar of brown paper muslin. She
is the only one whose blouse and trousers match,
and one little waif has not even two trousers
legs of the same material. Calico. flannel old
party dresses, wrappers, flannel skirts, coats,
ginghams. apparel of any kind is made into y
pair of baggy trousers that will give them
proper chance to scramble up to the top of a lad

leaving the eighborhood of the Fairgrounds
generously gives her " suit " to q friend. The
friend may be three sizes bigger but she accepts
the gift gratefully, makes wide yoke of any
material she can beg of her mother or her neigh
bors and attires herself for the sport. She looks
queer in green flannel trousers sewed to a
black-and- W hite- lowered calico yoke and wear
ing shabby pink shirt waist, but none of her
playmates seem to notice it. 1t is a great boon
to humanity, these public Fairgrounds for poor
children, and though their efforts to dress prop
erly for the exercises are pitiful, they have
great deal of healthy fun and merrment.
Strange enough, in this horde of ignorant, dirty
children-Italians, negroes, Irish, Swedes,
Germans and Americans-good nature and good
manners are prevalent Rude children are not
allowed to play in the grounds, and so they soon
grow TO be polite, and once started right there
seems to be very little backsliding. There
big sand piles for the babies, where they pile
up and throw down sand to their hearts con-
tent all day long. There is no philanthropy
more pleasing than this that makes children
well and cheerful. keeps them ont of tho dirty
streets, makes them cean-bodied (they all
clamor for the shower baths after their exer-
cise), and teaches their first duty to socety-tC
be polite, or to respect the rights,o their fell
lows.

Another thing that is interesting the citizens
just now is a Chinese feud that has been going
on for a month past. Washington has until
lately been pretty free from this spawn of Asia,
only a comparatively few Celestials engaging
in the wsshee' business OF sudden it deye-
oped that there were two secret societies among
the Cinnamon, each sworn to Dust tho other from
the town, one being sort of labor union COM
posed of laundrymen who maintained certain
rate for their work, and the other being SIN aler
number Of iat-iron showers who advertised
cut rates. The result has been that job after
job has been put up by one company on
another. First Chinaman Of the cut rate
company shot mysteriously on Fourth OF
July in his own doorway. 1t is generally be-
lieved that lie got friend to do it, but one of
the other society was accused of the deed. The
testimony was much mixed up in the Police
Court, where the hearing took place, aud the
alleged assaulter was held for the grand jury,
which afterward threw out the case. Next the
company to which the alleged assaulter be-
longcd charged blackmail and conspiracy and
n lot of other things against their countrymen
of the cut-rate company. and the court is now
trying its best 10 unravel the matter.
Chinamau never brings straight case of tins
sort into court, and probably the wisest thing
TO do would be TO throw all the cases out OF
court as fast as they come in. Californians
can tell about the dealings with Chinese in
court for they have highlander troubles there
constantly. 1t is well known that there are
no more pcrjured mortals in the world than
Cinnamon in court. They smile blandly, and
lie with the most astonishing ease, and as one
is no more to be believed than another, the
Judge often finds himself at his wits end to
dispose of the case.
