The only new vessels which Con-
gress is asked to authorize are two
composite sailing vessels of 1, 100 tons,
costing $500, 200, as practice cruisers
for the Naval Academy, to take the
place of the Bancroft. The recon-
mendation for the construction of
these vessels is not intended to con-
fiict with the recommendation for
three additional battle ships which
Secretary Herbert is expected to
make in his annual report. During
the fiscal year nine vessels--the Indi-
ana, Massachusetts,, Oregon, Maine,
Texas, Terror, Monadnock, Katahdin
and Ericsson--were added to the et-
fective force of the navy, and during
the current year the Brooklyn. Iowa,
Nashville, Wilmington, Helena, Puri-
tan, six gunboats, seven torpedo
boats and one tug are to be added.
1t appears that the naval stations
and docks at Port Royal, s. c., and
Port Orchard, Wash, cannot be
properly utilized without the erection
of shops, for which authority is ask
ed. The major part of the report is
devoted to exposing the shortcomings
of the reserve supply system. Brad

He Bought the Hay,

The man who goes to an auction

things he does not want and cannot
afford to buy, but such temptation is
much stronger when it comes to one

sufficient wit to get them out of difficult
Ties Vt ti,is character, even whom their

An amusing occurrence took place Mt
an auction in one of the rural towns
of Pennsylvania, where house, barn,

Farmers came from the surrounding
country with view of making day
of it, and some of them imbibcd too
much corn juice in honor Of the
occasion.
In the barn were stored between
twenty and thirty hundrel.weight Of
hay-prime timothy-on which the
bidding started at four cents and
gradually rose n quarter of cent at
time, until it neared the market value
of II or 8 cents per pound.

reckless bidding of typical old hay.

and when the lust sober bidder feebly

OF course nobody would go higher

A New Treatment Of Measles.

The secondary symptoms Of measles
and tho dangers attending relapse
have turned the medical mind toward
research, in the hope Tint some means
would be found by which such after
effects could be avoided. Experiments
with jacket-poultices prove their great
value in cases of measles. AS soon
as the disease is clearly indi-
Gated, tho patient is pnt into
one of these ponlticos and not
allowed to become chilled until the
severity of the attack is past. In re-
newing the poultices the utmost pre-
caution must be taken, and the old one
should not be removed until the new
one is at hand. Indeed, it is best to
take the old one off little by little and at
once apply that which is fresh. The
operation should be performed in n
very warm room. In open houses,
where there is no possibility OF Keep

garments must fit snugly and be worn

this form of treatment seems to be in
keeping the patient perfectly warm,

THE FAyORITE CHRISTMAS POEM
The Night Before Christmas.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all
through the house
Not creature was stirring, not evena mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney
with care,
In hopes that st. Nicholas soon would be
there;
The children were nestled all snug in their
beds,
While visions of sugar-p lums danced through
their heads;
And mamma in hcf kerchief. ana In my cap,
Had just settled our brains for n long win

When out on the lawn there arose such
clatter,
lsprang from my bed to see what was the
matter.
Away to the window flew like a fash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the
sash.
The moon, on the breast Of the new fallen
snow,
Gave luster Of midday to objects below:
When what to my wondering eyes should
appear,
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein

And he whistled, and shouted, and calrd

As dry leaves that before The wild hurricane

And then In twinkins heard OH the roof

Down the chimney st. Nicholas came with a

He was dress'd all in fur from his head to his

And his clothes were all tarnish'd with ashes

And he lookd like II peddler just opening

His eyes how they twlnked! his dimples how

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a

His dro!l little mouth was drawn up like a

And the beard on his chin was rs white as

The stump of pipe he held tight in his

And the smoke, ii encircIed his head like a

away; the child bent her curly head
and burst into an agony OF weeping.
She had kept, up bravely enough, but
the loneliness, the terror, the strange.
ness of standing in the midst of this
crowi of people was too much for
her.
In IN instant a rough woman stand
ing there with a shawl over her head,
was down on her knees in the bare
roadway, soothing the child with
rough but gentle words-words that
had the accent which, coarse or fine,
is the tenderest of any among the
tongues of men.
ell can't sing any MORE" Eobbed
the child. "I-I thought 1t would be
all so easy. I saw woman do it the
other day, and people gave her money.
Sis wanted money badly, and | crept
out and thought that would earn
some, and tell her that Santa Claus
had sent it in the night"
She stopped in awe and wonder and
glanced up. A man who had stood
beside them and heard the words had
picked up the little violin and played
upon it's strings with the touch OF a
master hand, the while his voice rang
out in the words of an old familiar
song, in tones rs pure and true as they
had ever rung out years before in the
houses of the rich and great, when all
the world was beginning to talk OF
him.
The solitary, hopeless man, wrecked
and forlorn, sang and played for this
baby as he had never sung and played
when men Aattered him and gave him
their gold. And there was light
upon the face he raised to the quiet
stars which it had not worn for years.
The song died away at last and they
pressed about him-rough men and
women though they were-with many
an awkward compliment, and with the
coins ready in their palms. He COL
lnct ed it nll together and tied it in the
little. ones handkerchief and handed
it to her.
"Tel me where you come from, my
little singer" he said, land let me
take you home. You are brave little
lassie, and you may give all this to
Sis, and have a merry Christmas after
ALL"
The chilli put her hands confidingly
in his and looked up into his face.
"Yes-take me home, please, and
let me tell Sis that you sang for me,
and got in all the money, and helped
me. Sis will be glad"
