Our Fighting Weight.

If the fortunes of naval warfare de-
pended on the effectiveness Of torpedo
boat service the United States would be
about the weakest country on the globe.
Unquestionably torpedo boats are en-
titled to great consideration in estimat-
ing the strength Of navies, this is clearly
shown by the large number of those YES
sells 10 the equipment of great maritime
powers. Great Britain and France each
have $50 torpedo boats, Russia has 233,
Italy has l91, Germany has lS5, Japan
has 1874. Austria and Spain are also
well supplied. The United States has
but forty, and this includes those now
under construction.
Forum ately navics do not consist ex>
clusivcly OF torpedo boats. Our battle
ships, though by no means as numerous
as those Of some Of the European pow,
ers, are sufficient in number aud potency
to be regarded as formablc, and our
cruisers are as fast and as scrviceable as
any on the seas. While our fleet would
hardly take first or even fifth prize at a
worlds naval show, yet it is better and
stronger than it has been for years past
and the country may well be proud Of
its improvement.
This country happily dosen't need a
great navy or standing army like those
maintained in Europe. We are sufi-
cently isolated geographically to be able
to take good breaths without fear of dis
placing something and shatteripg the
peace of the world. We don't have to
lie awake nights to see what our envious
or greedy neighbors are up to.
And still, with our our comparatively
insignificant preparation for war, we en-,
joy the profound respect of all nations.
Nobody wants to pick quarrel with us.
There is not a government in Europe,
no matter how fine its navy or how big
its army, but would walk dozen blocks
out of its way TO avoid hostile collision
with Uncle Sank. G. Journal.

party signing herself "Old Maid" writ
ing for the Meade Globe, fsrces herself to
indite and offer for publication the following
reasons why old maids do not marry. The
writer evidently speaks from experience;
"False notions are sometimes SO much en-
joyed by those who believe in them that it
seems almost pity to turn upon these
cherished conceptions and smash them to
smithereens with little Of that eye opener
called "truth "
This is why we old maids as a class have
kept mum and smiled compaisently at the
of repeated aud published reasons given
why we don't marry. We fully realize the
great source of comfort to men VINO yainly
imagine that they could have weoed and won
any of us if they hadn't married the woman

much innocent satisfaction to fancy that we
would have jumped at the chance to marry

offered themselves at hymn's altar that II

vanity by stating the actual reasons why we

herself equal and independent with the lords

points out the incongruities Of his argu-
ments; she measures with accuracy his inri
teleciual capacity and judges character with
justice and precision. This is not very
fattering and agreeable to the masculine sex

revenge shy scoffing sarcasms at her incident
