Naval MancnVerS.

A cruiser of the hostile squadron man
aged, for thirty-siX hours, to battle the
vigilance of the home squadron, and dur
ing this time she cut the cable which is
landed at the Isle of Gorgona and de-
stroyed the semaphor station at that
Italy, and a strategical point of the
greatest Importance; she further bonn
barded Levanto near Spezzia, and de-
stroyed the railway in various places, as
we'll as the viaduct of Rocco. near Ge-
noa. Finally she bombarded Varazza
and Savona, and destroyed the railway
along the coast near Albissola. 1t was
that the cruiser in question, the Fiera-
mosca, was put hors de combat by q
cruiser and four torpedo boats of the
home squadron. This incident has given
rise to much discussion in the Italian
military press, who consider that the de-
Tense of the Italian coast is insufficiently
provided for, and fears are expressed
lest, in the event of war; French ciuis-
ers might repeat, in earnest, the mimic
exploits of the Fieramosca, and COM
pletely destroy the railway all along the
coast, thus seriously impeding the mobili-
cation of the Italian army.-La France

Education of the Trades.
On the subject of Education in the
Trades the Inland Printer for Noyem-
Der calls attention to the thoroughness
of German training, in contradistinction
to the technical training given in the
trades in England and America. On
technical schools in America it says:
1--WE have number Of technical schools,
which are chiefly supported by private
enterprise, but the good work they are
doing is not encouraged as it should be,
nor is the vast Importance of their plan
appreciated by workmen generally. For
pioneer work in technical education the
technical club movement is the readest
means at hand, and the effort originating
among workmen themselves is assured of
more favor from them than if it was
the creature of the manufacturers or
others whose capital is invested in the
arts and manufactures. Nevertheless,
the development and extension of tech
nical clubs throughout the arts and
crafts will require the aid of employers
as we'll as the countenance and good
will of the employed. and when the fruits
of the trade club have been tasted. the
establishment of trade schools. or other
plans of trade education, will be no
longer the subjects of suspicion and jeal-
ousy. as they very largely are at pres

Building A house.

IF women who have houses built for
+bam would always go carefully over the
,,Ions to see that they We're adapted to
tbeir convenience. and insist that all in
cnnveniences discovered should be al
tered until they met their needs. we
SLonld have many more satisfactory
bnmes One of the evils discovered in
,,,any houses after they are finished is
tha+ there is no space wide enough for a
bod SO that it can stand out of corner,
md also out of the draught with the
i;nbt entering the room in the proper di-
rection so that the sun will not waken
Tho sleener too early in the morning.
Shelves in closets are placed so high that
= stenladder is often necessary in order
70 roach them: doors are swung in the
r,np direction: fireplaces are in dark
oorners where it is impossible to get
,rarnth as we'll as light; laundries are
100 dark for the laundress to know
,',bo+her or not the linen is properly
wa shed: closets that might we'll be large
ord ventilated by a window are small
and alright: holdings about doors and
aisawhere are made ornamental with
e,roovns that catch the dust. All these
t+,;nrs can usually be remedied without

Sugare0 Eggs.

During the PeninsuIar war a number
of English officers had established mess
in Spanish village, with native cooks.
whose efforts were fairy satisfactory to
the keen appetites of the campaigners>
They were joined, however by Il certain
peevish, cantankerous major, who Bit
terly complained that every dish was fla
vored with sugar-after the Spanis,f
fashion-and quite uneatable. Finally
he. confined himself to diet of eggs
boiled in the shell. They can't sugar
those he cried triumphantly. But his
triumph was short-lived. Next morning
some mischievous subs were at the mess
table before the major, and emptied all
the salt-celars, replacing their contents
with powdered sugar. The major sco,f
appeared, and with gloomy complacency
began upon an egg, with which as usual
he took plenty of salt" At the first
mouthful his face turned purple with
rage. ''Sugared, by Jovc.' he exclaimed.
and rushed off to his tent.-Argcnaut.
Gold Cure for Women.
Brooklyn has a gold cure establishment
for women. A woman doctor runs IL.
and her success has been SO pronounced
that male inebriates frequently call at
her sanitarium for treatment. She
doesn't treat her patients like prisoners.
but sends them to the theaters4 and en-
tertains and amuses them in other ways
Still, 1t is not at all pleasant TO learn thar
homes for women inebriates are among
the necessities of the hour.-New York
Letter.
The Dead Read It,
November 2, 1.-THE Day of the Dead"
is made a great festival of in Mexico.
One of the greatest oddities Of the cele-
bration is the issue on that date Of
paper called THE Carnival of the Dead
1t claims to have agencies in the tombs,
in + off
to receive subscriptions for a century in
advance from the living and to supply
the paper so it is said, gratis to the dead.
Strikes occurred centuries ago. and
their outcome was just as disastrous as
is that of the present day work strug-
giles. In the year 1923, says an old pa
per, a strike Of brass-workers was in
itiated in Breslau. Silesia, which lasted
a year.

The Cry of a Baby.

The meaning of the cry of a baby is Il
study which will be taken up by some
young physicians who will make a spe-
cialty of children's diseases.
Mothers can aid UNNECESSARILY, it they
will" said one of the young doctors. 81
was called in the other day by mother
to prescribe for something dreadful that
she was convinced her child was suffer
ing from, and found it to be too warm
clothing and SO only discomfort In the
nurses eyes, the only remedy for any
indicated discomfort on the part of a
child is the. bottle; if the baby cries it
must be fed; again. more feeding: if it
worries, feed it; if it is sick and nause-
atcd. still offer it milk. It may be too
fired from lying on one side, it may be
foo warm or too cold, or have collie from
an overloaded stomach, or half-dozen
other conditions may exist which forbid
or do not cali for feeding, but only this
is offered.
at is the nurse or the mother, which
over is the constant caretakcr of an in
FAINT. who can learn, if she will, to dis
tinguish the little shades of meaning in
a young childs cry"
it is fact we'll known to physicians
that the cry of baby suffering from
cholera infantum is very Indicative of the
nrogress of the disease. a mother was
much surprised to be told by her physi-
clan after the death of her first born
that, as he entered the hall door on the
occasion of his first visit to his little pa
tent, and heard it's cry, he knew there
Was little. or no hope. for, ne said.
chat cry is one which rings in a doctor S
ears when once he has heard it, and he
quickly recognizes 1t: >,
This mother found that the little wall
of agony rang in her ears, too, for when
several years after another child suf-
tered from the same disease, its first cry,
ouickly identified by the unforgetting
mother. sent hurry call to the physi-
clans Office.
IF the utterance of dumb beasts can
no studied and understood. there is hope
for the baby. that most helpless of all
living nature.-New York Times.
