AFTER THE ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.

The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.
 The defeat of the Armada inspired England with energy and hope. Our people, says Blackwood's Magazine, be- came busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu- gees had fiocked into England, and Antwerp, the great port for new world commerce, had been sacked and taken. England succeeded to the trade of which the Dutch had been deprived. Beyond the ocean lay d vast world of wealth, of which Spain, united with Portugal, claimed the monopoly, thereby exclud- ing English commerce from the larger half of the planet. Systematic vio- lence-that is, the combination of trade with private war-was the only mode in which this monopoly could be at tackled.
 Elizabeth connived at this covert mar itime war both before and after the Armada, and the struggles between Eng lish traders and Spanish monopolists were far too numerous and important to admit of peace between the two gov ernments. It was this spirit of com mercial adventure, whether it be called piracy or heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inquisition and give it back to the free use of the human race, which was the first step in the de- yelopment of three colossal growths- British trade, British empire, the Brit ish navy.

Army Boards Rigid Inspection Discour-
 ages South Dakota Breeders.
 John D. Hale, of Tilford, one of the most prominent stockmen in South Da- kota, some months ago received the con- tract for furnishing the Eighth caval- " at Fort Meade with some 70 or 80 horses. Notwithstanding that he visit ed practically every prominent horse ranch in western South Dakota, eastern Wyoming and southeastern Montana III the effort to secure horses that would pass the rigid inspection, every horse so far turned in for inspection has been rejected. The horses were the very best that could be procured, experience hay ing shown them to be the hardest ami mals to be found in the United States. Some of the horses could not be pur- chased on the range or in the markets of Chicago and New York for s25O each. Mir. Hale says he offered one man $500 for team of handsome grays, provided they passed the inspection. The ami mals were submitted. but. while the board admitted that they were a fine looking pair, they were declared not suitable for cavalry. Horse raisers are discouraged at the result and say that any board that holds strictly to the re- quirements of the government in the se- lection of cavalry horses would not be able to get enough horses in the whole United States to mount one cavalry regiment.

PAID ONE AT A TIME.

Pennies Not Legal Tender in Amounts of
 More Than Twenty-Five Cents.
 There is a postmaster in little town not far distant, who is noted for the amount of authority he is inclined to show in trivial matters. A short time ago, says the Mount Morris (Mich) Union, a business man of the place ap- peared before the stamp window of the office and demanded 300 one-cent stamps, for which he laid down an equal number of pennies. Here was good chance for the authoritative gentleman, and with a view of teaching his impor- tance, he picked 25 pennies from the heap, handed oft 25 stamps and showed the rest of the money to the would-be buyer with the remark that pennies were not legal tender there in amounts of more than 25 cents.
 Expostulation was in vain, the post master cited the law in the case and that seemed to settle it. With malicious gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his pocket and mildly inquired: q suppose I can get a one-cent stamp here Tor penny, can I?' Certainly" said the man at the window. "Then give me a one-cent stamp" said the other laying down the money. It was handed to him, and he demanded another and another after that. Several people had come in in the meantime, and were impatiently wait ing their turn at the window, but the obdurate buyer Kept on grayely buying one-cent stamps on the installment plan. Seeing determination in the'fac of the other, the postmaster offered to arbitrate, but it was of no avail. He continued to buy as long as his money lasted, and triumphantly departed amidst the approving smiles of the crowd. -5t-
