HIGH explosives and smokeless pow

phor that its retail price has more than
doubled and housewives and others
who used to keep it as a preservation
against destructive vermin and mildew
have had to fall back on naphthalene,
in spite of its very repulsive smell. AS
usual the enhanced price has set
chemists to work to find a substitute,
and they have already succeeded in
producing something like the camphor

recognize the difference.

GREAT GUNS ARE NEEDED.

Report of tho Ordnance Board Empha.
slzes the Necessity for Placing Oar Har-
bors in u Proper State of Defense.
WASHINGTON, Nov 1s.-The annual
report of the board of ordnance and
Notifications, composed of Gen. Miles,
Col. Frank, First artillery; Col Haines,
corps of engineers; Maj Phipps, ord
nance department; Capt Ayres and
ex-Representative j. II. 0uthwaite,
was made public Tuesday. 1t says:
Under the increased appropriations OF the
present fiscal year the work of placing our
harbors in proper state OF defense Is making
good progress, and II only the same sums are
appropriated annually for few years, our
principal ports will present n formidable front
to an attacking fleet 1t is hoped, however,
that even more liberal appropriations will be
made in order that we can sooner be ready for
an emergency that may arise at any time. In
view of the present serious aspect OF European
politics. IL is only common prudence for this
nation to be on its guard, for should conflict
arise we are liable to be embroiled with some
power whose navy, in the present defenseless
condition of our coasts, might destroy or exact
enormous rnnsoms from our chief cities
War, II 1t comes ut all, will come with no
warning and no time for preparation. China,
with undefended ports and an inadequate navy,
was defeated in q few months. In the last war
at Sedan occurred only 40 days after the decla-
ration OF war The wars of nations occur in
cycles of varying length, but seldom does q
generation pass without great conflict AL
ready more than 30 years have elapsed since
our last great war and another may soon. II the
past be n guide to the future, terminate one OF
the longest intervals Of peace we have ever en-
ioyed
Our engineer department is ready with the
most modern plans for Notifications, and our
ordnance department is prepared with designs
| Tor guns and carriages that are equal to any in
| the world If congress will but increase the
| appropriations to the capacity of those depart
ments for useful and economical work, 1t will
not be long before our coasts are secure against
| the attacks of foreign powers. An effective
| preparation for war Is the best safeguard
against war.
The board visited the various establishments
| doing ordnance work for the government and
| was impressed with the lack of economy that
results from the irregularity with which work
is carried on under the present system of maxi
ing appropriations.
The board is more than ever convinced of the
wisdom of the recommendation it made in its
last annual report that regular annual appro-
| priations be made for sea coast defenses and
| their armament

Talking of BARRIERS very naturally
brings to mind the in interesting subject
of mustaches; for what boy is there
who does not look eagerly forward to
the proud time when he can raise
mustache? The wearing of mustaches
is such a universal custom that we
might supposed it never had special
meaning or be ginning; but the fact is,
that it did have a beginning several
hundred years ago, and served very
important purpose for awhile. You
will remember that for several CEN
turies the Moors had possession of
Spain, but were finally conquered or
driven out by the Christians. The
Moors were believers in Mohammedan-
sm, and having made many converts,
it was not always an easy matter to
tell Mohammedan from Christian;
and as there were constant conflicts
between the people of the two relig-
ions, the Christians decided to adopt
some sign by which they could be dis
tinguished from the unbelievers. So
they let the hair grow on the upper lip
and on the chin, in order to produce,
as nearly as possible, the form of
cross, and in that way they were able
to recognize one another at all times,
and flock together in times of danger.

THE custom of this country has been
the use by widows of their deceased
husbands full name for at least year
after his death. The English, how
ever, pronounce it absurd for widow
to use her husbands Christian name.
Usage makes customs which are ac-
cepted as correct, and as the Christian
name of married ladies is often un-
known by friends, many widows re-
tain and use their husbands Christian
name as an Identification in society,
which they would lose if they took
their own.
