lowing official statement was given out
by the Navy Department to-dly:
Secretary Herberts attention being
called 20 published reports purporting 10

port. he said that all reports Of this char

ceived data on various subjects from
naval bureau chiefs. What features OF
this data viii be embodied IN the report
IS still an open question. The report IL
self has not yet arrived In its original
written form al completion, ana has not
been put ln print. so that reports of its
contents are premature and misleading

has been shown 10 the Secretary, although

writer had no information whatever upon
which TO base his gucsses.'
The Secretary's annual report will be

The KNIGHT and the Panther.

Since the very dawn of history the
Semitic prince has been a sportsman
above all things. Eleven hundred years
before Christ it was the boast of Tig-
ath-Pileser that he had slain almost
1000 lions with his own hands, and
when the kingdom Of Assyria was tot
tering to its fall, his successor, AsSur-
bani-pal, the Greek Sardanapalus,
gloried to depict himself in the attitude
of lion hunter ON the walls of his
great palace at Kujunjik. IN OsaEa' s
days the lion. the panther and the Loop
ard aboundod in Palestine and Syria,
and it was a work Of piety, beth fer
Saracen AID Frank, to exterminatc
these pests. Our author has many Il
strange tale to tell about the ravaGes Of
these savage beasts. One lion bounced
upon famous Frank knight as he was
journeying from the neighborhocd of
C9sarea to Antioch and ate him up
alive. MAY Allah have no mercy en-
himp' More dreaded still was q panther
that made its MONDAY resting place in
the window Of a ruined church at HCu-
max.
A Frank knight named SIR Adam,
undertook to extirpate this plague,
and putting or his coat Of mail rode
forth with shield and lance to rouse the
monster from his midday sleep. But the
panther, from his window recess, saw
his enemy approach him. A single leap
from the embrasure of the window
landed him on the Frank knight steCd,
and very short time saw the would
be champion corpse. 1t is with no
little glee that Osama speaks Of this
panther as a Mohammedan crusader
''the panther that takes part in the holy
war" against the infdel Christian

so his guardians think, to have the boy
in perfect trim for the high position
which he and his followers covet.
The young Napoleon Nv is a black
haired lad, manly IN his bearing, and
Of robust health. The greatest possible
pains is taken in his training, and sPe
cial tutors are engaged to teach him
special studies Even if he can never
become a great monarch, he will at least
be a polished gentleman and scholar.
The boy lives modestly with a DR..

and who is looking after the would be

month the boys mother visits him,
sometimes in the company of the exEm

woman, who sings divinely, and is loved
even by the silver haired old ex-empress.

Table Football.

A writer for children, Margaret Comp
ton, tells of good table game that is
easy to contrive and does not need much
preparation. This is liable football. p"
Get large cloth on which you can
mark with chalk, or if you prefer you
can stitch the lines with red cotton.
The boys Will tell you, if you do not
know, how to lay out the football field.
The ball is an egg that has heen blown.
A hens egg is generally used, but rob-
in S egg is better. It is not kicked, but
blown from point to point. There is not
much danger to the combatants, but a
new ball has to be provided for almost
every match. Touchdowns and five yard
limits are not possible, but the general
rules for football may be observed.

Most Of the principal stones now
worn have their significance. Sap
phire, as heavenly thoughts; dia-
monds,as repentance, Innocence, light,
purity, life and joy. Emeralds denote
success in love, faith, victory and i'm
mortality. There is great diversity
of opinion as to the meaning of the
opal. While some consider it porte nds
good fortune and hope, others esteem
it unlucky. The turquoise denotes
success and numerous friends: the
pearl, purity, innocence, humility
and tears, while the amethyst signi-
fies sobriety and temperance.

Boston's most exclusive set now num-

it to even 40 are not overnight. This is
a surprising figure when it is considered
that there are over 700 names in the

what is known as ultra fashionable So
ciety.
To belong to this most select circle OF
30 one must trace ones ancestry back to
the good ship Mayfower. To be OF Eng
lish extraction or Of the nobility is not
even permissible It is strictly Mayfow-
er stock that forms Boston, newest set,
and even at that descendants of the pill
grims who can seek with any certainty
of admission to this exclusive circle
must be those whose fathers did not
pursue the humble calling Of their an
