EngIand,s NnvnI Progrnmmc.


England's naval programme is an amaz-
ing one. She proposes to appropriate S7O,-
100000 in the budget of this year for in
creasing her navy. She has already the
greatest navy in the world. She has I'M
der construction eight battleships, TWEEN
ty-one cruisers and forty torpedo boats,
and she proposes. adding to this number
five battleships, thirteen cruisers and
twenty-eight torpedo boats. When the
vessels under construction and those pro-
iected are completed. her naval force
win be so much superior to that of any
other nation that she will not care very
much whether she has friends among the
other nations or not. 1t looks very much
as if she was preparing to occupy an
isolated position, preferring it to an al
lance with other nations.
Such an extraordinary increase in her
navy must mean that she anticipates trou-
BILE from some policy she has in view, and
believes that the battles of the future are
to be fought on the sea rather than on
land. The great expense incurred for the
navy is approved by parliament and the
press. The announcement that nearly $780,
100000 more was contained in the budget
of this year for new naval vessels than
was contained in the budget of last year
was received with cheers in the House
of Commons While Great Britain may not
be seeking war, it is clear she means to
be ready for it if it comes. Has the Vene-
zuela matter anything to do with these
extraordinary additions to her navy?
The other day we were regaled by the

Kleptomapia.

To believe French writer, there are no fewer than four thousand women caught every year in stealing during their shopping expeditions, habit eu- phoniously styled kleptomania. The number of titled ladies seized with this strange maIady while examining the fashions of Paris, he tells us, is incred- ible. Among the most recent culprits were a Russian duchess, a French countess, an English duchess and the daughter of reigning sovereign. As 8 rule, these distinguished offenders are let off on the payment of a round sum for the relief of the poor; when the shoplifter is known to be rich, the sum extracted rises to as much as ten thousand francs. The police authori- ties consent to this sort of conformation.

In which Boston Endorses the opinion OF
New York, that il is most pronounced.
Indeed, public opinion puts II on par
with "Robin Hood" by the same libret-
tist and composer while not a few declare
that IL has even superior entertaining
qualities. The breath and brawn and
action of the Scottish Highlands, ss Scott
has pictured 1t is in the opera. The opera
abounds in martial situations and force
ful music. In the first act there Is riot
OF color in the plaids of the healthy
Highlanders, but out of this comes
harmony of beauty and dashing finale
that raises the enthusiasm OF the spec
tators TO the highest pitch.
More subtle and tender is the seconc
act, but the same ruggedness is there.

without tagging to the closing episode in
the opera. Seats are now on sale at the

Whittier and Willie Beman recited "Maud

After these exercises there was more
singing and Mr.. Bicknell showed some
little maple trees, one and two years old,
which had been sent In by Mr.. sherman.
The children were impressed with the
significance of the number OF these little
trees TO be found springing up every
where and urged to plant as many OF
them around their own homes as posi-
BILE, being assured that In a comparatively
few years they would grow TO be fine
shade trees and will last longer than
rosebushes. They were told TO be
sure to pick out straight ones.
Hands were called for to show how
many would try TO plant at least one little
tree and the children generously re-
sponded. Mr.. Bicknell called attention
to tall Elm tree in front of Mr.. God
ding's house across the way and told how
DIR. Godding planted it 80 years ago, when
he was but two years old, and how he
shifted 1t about from place TO place, but
today IL towers above the apple trees and
is about forty feet high, growing more
than a foot year.
Then cheers were given with will for
every body-for the Mayor, for Mr.. Kings
ley, for Mr.. Bicknell, for the schools,
teachers and: children, and the Doxology
was sung, but not until after the children
loudly assented that they had had a good
time and would come again next year.
The music was conducted by Miss Grace
Ralph and furnished by a chorus from
the Doyle avenue and Camp street schools.
Before everybody had gone Mr..
Bicknell annou2 ced that the
pupils OF Miss Barney,s- ,s-class
in the Highland avenue school planted
36 trees yesterday, showing how generally
they were imbued with the Significance
of Arbor Day.
The lamp street school is delightfully."-
situated on the brow of Beacon Hill and
the scholars are daily reminded of Ma
ture's handiwork by the beautiful land
