FOR A LARGER NAVY
House Committee Will Recon-
nuend More War Vessels.
BATTLE SHIPS AND TORPEDO BOATS
The CONSTRUCTION on -Four More OF the
Former and Fifteen OF the
Latter Believed To
BE Advisable.

Washington, March 1S.-At yester-
days meeting of the house naval COM
mittee it was decided to recommend in
the naval appropriation bill the con-
struction of four battleships and fifteen
torpedo boats. The .battleships will
have q displacement of about eleven
Thousand tons and shall. cost not to ex-
coed $s;750,OO each, exclusive OF ar
mament. The appropriations to begin
the work on the batfleships will be in
keeping with the amaunt which Score
tary Herbert stated he could expend
next year for that purporse. Five of
the. torpedo boats will be of large size
and will cost in the aggregate $3.50, 900,
while theappropriation for the remain
ing ten, which will be of smaller di-
mansions, will be $sOO,S0O In view of
the expedition with which boats of this
character can be built, 81, 256, $50 of the
entire amount will be provided for in
the present bill. The large boats will
have a speed of twenty-six knots
against twenty for the smaller vessels.
Wanted Six Battleships.
This conclusion was reached only af-
ter two hours discussion participated
in by the thirteen members present
Mr.. Hall of Missouri, an absentee, in
letter to the committee, requested his
vote recorded in favor of the largest
number of ships which it might be re-
garded necessary to recommend, but his
request was not granted. Hibborn of
California finally moved that the com
mittee recommend four battleships.
Hanley of Indiana offered an amend
ment fixing the number of battleShips
at six. The first vote WAS taken on
the amendment. 1t was defeated
seven to six.
Details of the Vote.
The affirmative vote, cast by Messrs.
Hanly of Indiana, Cummings of New
York. Meyer of Louisiana, Money of

of Pennsylvania. Those voting in the
negative were Messrs. Boutelle of
Maine, Hulick of Ohio, Hilborn of
California, Bull of Rhode Island, Will
, son of New York, Foss of Illinois and
Dayton of West Virginia. The vote on
the Hilborn proposition for four ships
was carried unanimously. The princi-
pal items of the bill have been given
heretofore in these dispatches and the
measure as agreed to, without the al
lowance for the new ships, will carry
an appropriat ton of $28 454.784,

LINEN CHEST.

In an old German family nothing was
looked upon with more veneration than
the family linen chest. Into its roomy
depths were deposited fabulous amounts
OF the most exquisite naperv and bed liD-
en-. The care OF Il was the delight OF the
house mother. Every spring ii was tax.
en- out, put through bleaching, manglcd
aud returned 10 the chest, with fresh
violets put between the folds to give II a
delicate odor. The maidens OF the house
hold put the daintiest Of sewing. hem
stitching and embroidered initials upon
il; then when one OF them fitted and
set up home for herself, she got her
share out of the chest.
But In those DAYS Of washing. when no
kind of washing fluids or delet,rious COM
| pounds were INDUCED In, the fabric was
not destroyed, and table linen frequently
got chance 10 do service In two genera
| tions.
| Upon all linen, hemstitching Is con-
sidered the only really delicate manner Of
! finishing. IL lace is used, II Is very apt to
be torn, and soon presents n ragged ap-
pearance. One housewife knew always
finished her pillow cases In one way :
First, four-inch hem, and then upon
only half the FELLOWSHIP a four-inch
ruiilue OF LoDsdale cambria, rolled and
sewed on. They were kept In place by
tapes sewed 10 the middle of each side.
In marking all bedding and table linen
nuns cotton is preferable 10 silk, as the
silk yellows by frequent washing. The
linen chest can always be kept well filled
by taking advantage Of the days which
many Of the large stores have, when
things of that kind are a special sale.
Often broken lots of napkins can be had
very cheap, II one Is deit at picking out
the best.
For common wear, the stores offer
good value In pillow-slips and sheets
ready made and hemstitched by machin-
cry. IL Is best 10 have a goodly quantity
as in sickness or In case of company, II
Is often necessary TO make many
changes.
Into the linen-chest could 90 special
lots 10 use in case of sickness. Cases
made plainly. so that the laundering need
not be so difficult. IL is very nice to
have stencil Of ones own monogram to
mark these ARTICLES large one for
sheets and tablecloths, and \ smaller one
for napkins and pillow-csses. Every
thing bride takes into her new home
from her girlhood's home should be
marked with her maiden name.
The chest itself is lovely bridal gift,
and should be made OF cedar, either
carved or brass-bound. In size, II could
be four feet long, two feet wide and
thirty inches high, though some OF the
old ones are much higher. However.
when one bends over the depths OF one
of this size, II will be found firing
enough. The embellishments could be
TO suit the owner, and the main thing
should be fine lock which every key
would not open. IL desired. "A couple OF
trays could be made for holding the
smaller articles.

find they root much more readily In soil
in which have used SCOT as fertilizer
until the color is almost black, such as Is
used for tea-roses. After inserting,
turn glass tumbler tightly over them,
and keep the soil moist all the time. Al
the end of two weeks place something
under one side of the tumbler and allow
them to have the air gradually. BY
three weeks they are generally well root
ed, and should then be placed in thumb
pots, and shifted to larger pots as they
fill these with roots. Be sure to provide
good drainage.
For roofing slips Of the oleander, get
a wide-mouthed bottle, put layer of
sand in the bottom and fill with water.
After breaking off slips, strip off the
leaves, all but few at the top, put in
the slips, fill the mouth of the bottle
around the stem Of Slip with cotton.
Tie a string around the neck Of the bot
tie and hang in the sun until well root
ed. August is the best time to start
slips, as the wood is then in proper con-
dition for roofing.

STATE MECHANICS.
AFFILIATIONS WHICH ONCE FITTED
LOSING FORCE WITH ADyANc-
ING CIVILIZATION.

State nicknames Ia this country have
begun to lose their aptness. New Hamp-
shire's name, the .sGranite State" fits
almost as we'll IA some other mountainous
states, aud she never really deserved TO
be called the Switzerland OF America,
since her mountains are but hills COM
pared with the mountains of Switzerland.
Several Of the Rocky Mountain states
more nearly deserve this title, according
to the New York Herald. Colorado, for
example, has Al mountains more than
1900 feet high, and In all, l39 mount
aims more than 1850 feet high. Colo
radios own name OF the Centennial
state Ia one that no other can ever dis
pute with her, though IL looks as II
Colorado might dispute the name Of
s.Golden" with California.
Names forests are disappearing so
rapidly that some Of the northwestern
states may soon have better title TO
the name "Pine Tree State" There are
more famous bays than that OF Massa-
chusetts, and certainly Chesapeake Bay,
IL considered only as body of water,
has more distinction than Massachu-
sets, and, historically, the Chesapeake
Is quite as famous, so that the name
"Bsy State" might, with aptness, be
given to Maryland.
There are quite rs characteristic green
mountains elsewhere In the United States
rs those that gave Vermont her French
name. The Empire State" seems map
propriate to any democratic community,
but 1t is appropriate to New York, IL to
any state Of the Union, and IL is likely TO
be long while before even Texas can lay
claim 10 the title. The name that Texas
takes pride In. "The Lone Star State, is
certainly hers by right, as she Is the only
state To have come TO be an independent
republic, totally unconfederated with
any other state.
Pennsylvania IL no longer the keystone
OF the Unions arch, lust rs IL Is no long
er politically true that "a Pennsylvania
goes 80 goes the Union. II Delaware
ever deserved her name OF the diamond
State" she certainly cannot claim IL
against Rhode Island, since the latter IL
not only much smaller, but, as well,
much richer.
No state disputes virginia's picturesque
name, the cold Dominion" though
few people realize that IL dates back To
time when our Atlantic coast knew only
two III defined political divisions--New
England and Virginia. Ohio's buckeyes
are no longer distinguishing feature Of
her rapidly disappearing woodlands.
Indiana Is being civilized out OF her
Hoosierdom, and wolverine must be-
pretty scarce In the state 10 which the
beast has given nickname.
Connecticut has learned so many smart
tricks since the days Of the traditional
wooden nuimcgs that her neighbors
could easily discover an apter name OF
reprosch. Louisiana, doubtless, has rs
many pelicsns "a Florida or any other
state, and so may well hold 10 her nick
name, while North Csrolinans are prop
erly enough called tar heels, since their
state Is still famous for tar and kindred
products.

Old EUROPE CHEAP.
HOW EDISON WAS AMUSED AT III.
FATHERS ECONOMY.

MIR. Edison was very fond of his ole
father, who was physically giant, ant
At 6j could outrun, outjump and outdC
any soldier at Fort Gratiot, near wher,
he lived. The elder Edison was very
economical In his habits, and disliked
anything that looked like extravaganza,
or waste of money. He had an old crony
at Port Huron who was just the oppo
site. They differed In political belief
also, and would often argue through al
entire night on some point OF politica
difference. They were great friends
however, and constantly together. A
few years ago, says the Cleveland Plalr
Dealer, Mr.. Edison decided TO send hi
father TO Europe, and concluded TO send
his old crony along with him. Mr.. Edi
son secured their passage on one OF IN,
best Of the Cunard steamers, gave his
father handsome letter Of credit, and
started them oil. A few weeks passed
and Edison got no news OF the two trav'
elers. He had ample faith in theiI
ability to take care Of themselves, and
thought, "well, they will soon want
some more money and then ! will heal
from them A month or more passed
but still no letter.
One day he was sitting In his labora
tory at MEMO Park, when who should
come In but the two old men.
"why, how did you get back, and why
didn't you write me for some NOR,
money! demanded the sou.
didn't need it." replied his father
"My friend here would have spent IL al
In month, but kept the bag. made
him walk"
And so he had. With letter Of credit
for $500 In his pocket, the elder Edison
had made his companion scour Great
Britain on foot. When they got To 4
city they put up at the cheapest hotels
and TO crown IL all they had come HON,
in the steersge with 800 Poles.
sHere's your balance" said the sturdy
old man, aud he counted out $500 bach
into the hands OF his son, who was sc
convulsed with laughter at the old man;
story that he could hardly count It.

As q boon to womankind, half the uses
OF hot water are not generally known.
| As q promoter Of beauty, or the health,
| which IL beauty, the use Of 1t within
and without Is highly recommended by
one who knows Of what she speaks.
A cupful Of hot water taken before
breakfast, with a little lemon added, and
the same before retiring, Is very etiica-
cious In keeping the system In a good
condition.
A hot bath taken frequently keeps the
skin in an excellent condition, and Is an
Invaluable cure for WEAKNESS.
Coming In tired, IL you can just dis
robe quickly, jumping into hot bath,
and then into bed for twenty minutes,
you will be so rested that whole even
Ing afterward Of dissipation will scarce
ly be noticed.
Too many take too long for these
things. The bath must be taken quick
II y. When you lie down, relax every
muscle and make up your mind to sleep.
Hot applications In hot water bag
are helpful In all cases Of pain, let II be
here 1t may. No family should be
without two or three hot-water bags.
The first cost Is nothing compared with
the amount of comfort they insure. For
taking TO bed with you Of cold night
they are unsurpassed. To lie on when
YOU have toothache, headache. neuralgia,
they are boon. Every woman's dress
ing room should have something to heat
water quickly. IL you have nothing
better, get a one-burner coal-0il stove.
The face washed in hot water, and
thoroughly rubbed with q rubber face
brush, will make a marvellous change In
the complexion and remove blackheads.
This treatment of the face will, in a
short time, improve the contour OF the
face, and put a bloom upon the CON-
plexion that nothing else will.
The skin Is so seriously affected by the
condition of the stomach that great care
should be taken To keep this organ in
perfect working order.
Abstinence from food for a whole day
and drinking copious drafts Of hot water,
will be OF benefit In cases Of chronic con-
stipstiop.
When the bowels become packed, an
enema of warm water, with a teaspoon
ful Of glycerine 10 II will be found OF
great relief.
Many internal troubles can be vastly
remedied by the use Of very hot water
injected. into the vagina. The tempera-
rure In this case can be little hotter
than you can well bear your hand in.
For bruises, hot applications will be
found 10 dissipate the black look In y
short time.
For headaches Of all kinds, hot water
will reach the spot sooner than anything
else.
In fact, Il is invaluable, and its uses are
legion.

TO TEST POWDER,

During the warm weather, when the
use of powder Is considered almost nee.
essary, great care should be taken to Oh
tain the best. Rice powder is considered
BY most physicians the least injurious.
although few advise a talcum powder.
Every woman who wishes to be sure
thst there Is nothing injurious In her tot
let-powder can satisfy herself by sub
hitting it to the following test:
Place a teaspoonful Of the powder In a
glass and add the juice Of lemon. Ii
effervescence takes place, 1t Is an infal-
lible proof that the powder Is danger
Gus, and that its use should be avoided,
as 1t will injure the skin and destroy the
beauty Of the complexion.
