England and Her Colonies,

With colonies in every part of the
globe, England is peculiarly vulnera.
bic to attack, and the weakest and
smallest possession must receive as
| great attention for defense and pro-
lection as the strongest and largest.
Toward the maintenance CT the navy
no dependency contributes, and the
entire cost is borne by the people Of
the United Kingdom.
The same condition applies to couR-
tries other than England which have
been reaching ont for colonial empire.
In no Instances is the dependency of
sufficient weight to be allowed to con-
troll lis foreign relations, on which
peace or war so largely depends. The
first cost OF empire, therefore, Is in.
volved IN the expense Of q navy, and
that this is true the annual expenses
OF the navy may be compared with
the territorial expenses TO be protect
ed. Germany has entered upon CO.
lonIal enterprise more recently than
France, and IFS possessions are of less
extent, yet its navy costs each year
nearly SlS, 900, 900. France with two
and n half times the extent OF colonial
territory, approximates $40, 900, 900
Tor the same purpose. The United
Kingdom spends less proportionately
In naval expenses, but is obliged to
expend $40, 900, 900 a year, and is in
perpetual fear lest its naval efficiency
foil below a strength necessary to cope
with the ambitions and jealousies of
the other Powers.
If Italy and Russia be included the
total expenditures in an ordinary year
on this arm of the service is 5000, 600, :
OO0, aad in an extraordinary year,
under the influence of q war scare,
bali as much again may be appropriate
ed to build up and equip new ships,
measure which involves additional
expenditures in many directions.
Similar estimate of the cost of the
army would give an even greater sum.
For every dollar annually spent on
the navy three are expended on the
army, and the five Powers named paw.
out for the service $500, 900. 600
each year. OF this onehalf NAV be
considered as necessary for home de E.
tense and to cover the educational
advantages incident to the system :;
the other half may be set down as the
requirements for imperial defense. -

Alter Wolf Peaches.

north side woman who owns a

peach season has been over for some
time. | doubt very much if you could
be able TO find peach in South Water

fruits. Ho shook his head slowly,
and, with an apologetic smile, said

that he does not know what wolf

S400, 900 was stolen FROM the Marine
National Bank. No one ever knew who
took 1t. 1tsimply disappeared from tine
bank one morning. At the end OF the
week johnson had kept his word to his
creditors. He was arrested, only to
be discharged, as there was not the
slightest evidence against him. Two
months later Johnson and a crook
named Henry Newman followed an
officer Of the Central National Bank
from his Office in Wall street 10 the
bank. The official had S125, coo worth
OF bonds in his pocket, johnson walked
right into his private Office with him,
and when the banker laid the bonds on
his desk and turned to hang up his
coat johnson nipped them and got
away without even being seen. he
was arrested later. but got off once
more for lack OF evidence.
Dozens OF other crimes similar to
these are credited to johnson in the
long review of his life in ex-Chief
Byrnes's books on criminals. His
years have told on him recently, and
purse snatching and pocket picking
have been more in his line.

Oysters aud Typhoid.

The British Government Board has
issued II special report on oysters as n
source of the spread OF typhoid fever
The general conclusions arrived at are
that although sources o: danger I'M
questionably exist in oysters, the rem
edy is comparatively simple. The re.
port says that only few beds in stor-
age ponds on the English coasts could
be regarded as free from every chance
Of sewage pollution, though most of
them are free from substantial risk
owing to the large amount of water
which is mixed with sewage.
The meteorological Investigations of
Or. Klein, which confirmed the inves.
LEGATIONS OF Professor Conn, have es-
Ia Jished the fact that the typhoid
bacillus was recoverable from sea
water up to month, and the cholera
bacillus up to two weeks from the dat,
of infection.-New York Mail m Ex-

The Age OF Rush.

Americans take too little rest. They
concentrate all their strength upon a
few years struggle for wealth, and
when they have attained success they
find that they have exhausted their
vitality. They have been prodigal OF
their energy, their endurance, and all
the splendid powers of youth and
prime. When it is too late they dis.
cover that they have risked health for
what is no recompense, and that they
have really thrown away the opportu-
nifty Of enjoying long existence But
the fault is not all that of individuals
The exactions of these latter days make
men slaves. They have so maEy
things to do, and they have TO do
them in such a rush that they have no
chance to temperate. They are vic

''ln many cases of electric shock the

first experiments were made upon

ly and the administration of the same

to life after shocks of electricity which

Evidently, however, a quantity of the

all remedies Intellectual. On the other

many human victims to electrical
