AAA~
The old distinctions of battleship and
cruiser, coast defense ship, lookout ship,
torpedo catcher and all the rest are to
disappear utterly from the face of
French waters The key words Of the
new scheme are homogeneity and au-
tonomy. The feet is to be homogeneous
through all it's units. the units to be
self sufficing for all the various func-
lions of war. The archetype Of this au-
tonomous unit is the Dupuy de LONE.
This vessel, generally classed as an ar
mored cruiser, was launched in 1890,
but was not completed until some years
later. She is of $500 tons displacement.
374 feet long, of 81 feet inches beam
and 20 feet inches draft She steams
17.5 knots an hour with natural and 20
with forced draft and is reckoned able
to make A, 900 miles at IL. 8 knots with
out coaling. She is armored-and this
is her most distinctive feature-with
At inches of steel throughout her whole
length and almost over the whole sur
face of the hull
For heavy armament she carries two
10 inch breechloaders and six 6.S inch
canet quick firing guns, besides numer-
GUS smaller quick firers The heavy
guns are SO mounted that she can fire
five of them ahead, astern or on either
broadside. This formidable type Admiral
Fourier proposes to strengthen and
develop into the unit of his homogene-
GUS feet, which is to be equal indiffer-
emily to every service demanded of

There is only one way of saving
chimney out of plumb from collapse if
the bead increases-that is, to cut q
slice out of the masonry ON the other
side, SO that it may sink on that side
and bring itself straight. But that
method, though eficacious at times,
often weakens the structure. The only
other alternative is to pull down and
build afresh, and there are two ways Of
doing that. One is to pull the chimney
down. stone by stone. beginning at the
top, tedious method and terribly
risky one if the structure be tottering
to its fall. The other method the writer
has often seen practiced in Lancashire
and Yorkshire. At mill q few miles
outside of Manchester, for instance,
dangerous chimney had to be ''felled'
not long ago, and the contractor started
to cut away the brickwork at the base
on five out of its eight sides. Once,
thinking it was about to settle on him,
he and his men hurried away. but the
fall did not take place, and they re-
turned to work. The gaps were propped
up with timber and the structure sup
ported IN this way till the proper time.
Then the wood was soaked with par
ATTN and daubed with rosin and ignited.
The flames and smoke poured up the
chimney with great roar, and the dar-
ing man fingered at the foot for quar-
ter of an hour, feeding the fame at one
point SO the wood might collapse there
first and the chimney take that direc-
ton in its fall. At length the balks
gave way, the chimney tottered, then
leaned over in a circular fashion and
finally collapsed in the middle and fell
in heap. The climber told the writer
that he distinctly preferred to bring a
chimney down in that way, for once,
while taking down shaft in a north
Lancashire district, he heard it groan
and creak and had only time to slip
down the rope and rush away when it
fell.-Chambers' Journal

One of Lang's Dog Stories.

Oscar, my Newfoundland dog, once
brought home from EdenmoutA q wild
ducks nest full Of eggs, which he
matched out. When he conceived thai
the nestlings were of an apt age he
carried them to the curling pond, where
he superintendent their education In
swimming. When they grew mp, he
brought Mr.. -, a local sportsman
whom he often accompanied. to the spot,
and his purpose obviously was to accli-
Matte wild ducks within easy distance
and save the walk to the mouth Of Eden.
This appears to be good evidence Of
rudimentary reasoning powers in the
dog He was very fond Of a cat named
Peter, whom he would often take out
for long swims on his back when the
weather was fine, Unluckily storm
arose one day. Peter was swept oyer
board and drowned. Oscar brought tbs
poor animal in, dead, buried him above
high water mark, erected g biscuit box
to his memory and often visited the
sepulchef with offerings Of bones.-A4q--

quently involves seal hunters in danger,
says a writer in the New York Press. The
seals are shot from promontory. Then
the hunter is lowered Oh rope by his
comrades 100 or 200 feet to the slippery
wave washed rocks below, where the
dead seal lies. He quickly skins the an
imal. A small boat from the ship rides
outside the surf line ready to carry the
hides away. A small line is foated
ashore to the hunter. who ties the hides
to it one by one, and the boat is loaded.
the hunter is drawn to the top of the
cliff, and another rookery is sought for
more game. The surf about these deep
sea islands is very high and is one of
the obstacles of the seal hunter.
The long stiff hairs from the SEALS
muzzle are highly priced by Cinnamon.
and large quantities are exported to
China. The Chinese mount these hairs
with gold for use as toothpicks and ear
spoons. Other parts of the animals are
dried and shipped to China for use by
the native doctors, who claim that they
effect marvellous cures with the medicine
made from these parts
The sea lions are rather cute in their
way. They enjoy geat deal of sea fowl
occasionally. When the gulls are flying
overhead, lion will dive and swim
some distance under water from the
point where he disappeared. He ap-
proaches the surface carefully, allowing
merely the tip of his black nose to show
above the surface. By giving his body
rotary motion this nose tip makes Cir
cles on the ocean, and, to the eye of the
flying gull, resembles waterbug at
play. With swish, the deceived gull
rushes down from its station above like
ball from gun. The lion sinks a few
inches, and as the gull hits the water
with tremendous impetus the jaws close
mercilessly on the sea fowl, and it is
hauled below the surface and devoured.

BY the Transit which ar
rived on tn 4th inst. we
received 100 Jewel Stoves and
Ranges, one large car load,
direct from tn factory at
Detroit.
This is our third shipment,
and we find that we have only
4 stoves left from our previous
lot.
The excellence Of these
stoves has already been prov
ed by the large sale, but we
will name three points:
First. Long life from the
heavy high grade of iron,
which is the same in the $12
stove as in the $50 range.
Second. Economy in the
use Of fuel.
Third. Quick and even
bakers.
We propose leasing these
stoves on the following terms:
When the stove is deliver
ed one-third of the price is
paid in cash, and the balance
monthly thereafter in five
equal payments.
If before the expiration of
the five months, the lessee
wishes to pay off the balance,
he will be entitled to a dis
count Of five per cent. ON the
amount unpaid.
If a customer wants to buy
outright, he gets five per
cent. discount on the whole
amount.

Very Pronounced Earthquake Shock
Felt on Sunday Morning.

There was very pronounced earth
quake shock at 4:4S o'clock Sunday
morning. 1t was felt distinctly all
over this island and woke many pc J.
pie. Old timers pronounce it one of
the heaviest shocks experienced here
in fifteen years. The best authorities
agree that it came from the south or
southwest and passed off to the north
west. Carl Willing. who was out at
the time, says the noise came from to-
ward Diamond Head and went off to-
ward the Pail. As he lives in Makiki
these directions would be about right
In the telephone Office the shock was
distinctly felt. The boys report pro-
longed tremor in which were two
short jerks. On the vessels in port
the rumbling could be heard and the
shock was also felt. 4 second shock
reported was undoubtedly a continue
ton of the first one.
Kamaainas agree that the shock was
superinduced by activity of the vol
cano on Hawaii. Interesting news
from that quarter win be confidently
expected by tomorrow's mail.

COUNTRY SABBATH.
(Anglican Church Chronicle.

(Anglican Church Chronicle.)
The quiet restful air which prevails
in the country districts prompts the
question-why do people in cities ard
towns need so much excitement? They
work Just as hard and make as long
hours as the people in the country.
Yet they are ever on the qui vive for
something to arouse them to further
action No doubt other muscles than
those used in labor are exercised, and
other feelings are played upon, but
enough time is not given to the labor
muscles to rest, so the whole being is
exhausted. Sunday is indeed day of
rest in the country, everything in the
shape of labor ceases. Repose settles
down on man and beast The very at
mosphere tells of the day of rest. Yet
the church-gOers do not consider it
labor to go through the dust, and that
of the most penetrating nature, for a
distance of from six to ten miles to
attend their service. The Lords Day
is kept alive by attention to those hal
lowed duties, which have been i'm
pressed on man since the beginning of
the world. The spirit of Christianity
breathes its influence in the remotest
