And melted into tenderness.

For nature was his guiding star,
And sermons found In solitudes
Where only natures teaching are.

And paused where honeysuckles hung,
And rested where the widest hooks
The lone arbutus trailing chung.
Where lowered up the bristlng head
OF some COLOSSUS of the pines,
Like great stag with autlers spread
The monarch of a thousand tines.
And with his rod or hlntlock gun
He whipped the pools or led the chase,

Aud slew him in his hiding place.
And thus he lived an outdoor life
With sight of flower and bird and bee,
With yoke of oxen and a wife
With children playing at her knee.

Women Who Should BE Pretty.

Too many American women who are
pretty In girlhood become positively ugly
in middle age. Those who are shapeless
with fat and have muddy compilations are
often thus unlovely because of laziness and
self indulgence. They eat the rich and
sweet things which make flesh and do not
take sufficient exercise, and with the flesh
and the inertia the whole woman becomes
heavy and dull of aspect. 1t is these hab-
Its and not the flight of years that take
the expression of youth out Of the eyes of
these danes, the look of freshness from the
skin, the lightness Of grace from the step.
The odd thing about " is that while they
depiOTe the loss Of beauty no persuasion
will make them adopt the Spartan meth
DDS which will bring at least some of it
back.
AS for the thin, nervous women who
have lost the delicate, round, pink and
white outlines of youth In sallowness and
scragginess, they are no more amenable to
reason and common sense. A daily bath
in tepid water, plenty Of nourishing food
judiciously chosen and resolute avoid
ance of the twin fends, hurry and worry
mean a new rosiness in the cheek softer
contour in the figure, a new enjoyment of
life But there must be no half measures
1t won't do to follow wise regimen for
six weeks and then give 1t up because the
results are not satisfactory. An unruly di-
gestion and tyrannical nerves are not re-
duced to order in twice six weeks. Many
months and unrelenting perseverance are
needed.
1t might as we'll be said frankly that
American women do not battle enough.
Thoroughly good health, the physical well
being that it is delight to see, is impos
sible unless the skin Is kept clean and In @
condition to do It's own work In connection
with the rest of the system To be we'll
to be handsome, to be light of heart, sure
ly all this is worth little regular care and
thought and exertion. --NewY ork Tribune

HousekeeperS who are perhaps consider
ed faddish by their neighbors are taking
out set waShbowls from the bedrooms of
their homes in all cases where they are not
inclosed in a closet that opens to the outer
air 1t is of course a slight increase of
work for the maid or caretaker of the
room, but such chatelaines as insist upon
it do so because they feel that the health of
their households, particularly the young,
susceptible members of them, is subjected
to just so much less risk Toilet closets
that can be shut off entirely from the sleep
ing room at night are less harmful than
those that ventilate all night into the air

and aired, if ever so briefly, before they
are entered in the morning. In no case

deep valance of cretonne reaching the floor
and matching the other hangngs of the

says, she has made up in q considerable
quantity. They launder easily and are
hcayy enough to be waterproof for con-
siderable time. Under this, over the board,
- placed il cover of white enameled cloth,
"hich can be wiped every morning, thus
preventing the wood from becoming water
soaked from children's splashing use. To
protect the wall the same careful economist
has strips of linen half yard wide when

After considering the subject in de-
tail, DR.. H. Grant Sigman makes the
following suggestions regarding the
use of the wheel:
l. Ride in moderation, and avoid all
such eXertions as steep hill climbing.
fast riding. etc. This moderation must
be established in each case by the age,
temperament and physical ability and
endurance of the rider.
2. Ride with the body erect.
3. Dismount and rest whenever tired
or short of breath.
4. Don't ride Immediately after a
full meal.
5. Wear easy-fitting clothing. and
such as will not interfere with the free
movements OF the rider.
G. After ride take a sponge hath
and change Of clothing. especially the
underwear. 1t is preferable to wear
lightweight woolen underwear while
riding.
Z. Take frequently light. nutritious
food while On long trips and avoid the
use Of stimulants, as such would tend
to blunt the sensibilities and render
the cyclist less appreciable to fatigue
thus causing him nnknowingly 10 over
tax his powers OF endurance.
8. In all forms of disease don't at.
tempt cycling until after consulting Q
doctor, and If recommended by him. be
very prudent regarding the amount Of
exercise taken.

in a sea fight between torpedo boats
and nrst and sec0nd-class battle ships.
1T Is question with naval experts
which would destroy or be destroyed.
The greatest danger to battle ships
would be Mt night. when the destroy
ers, owing to their speed and handl-
aess, might get torpedo in contact
with tho enemy's side. when the battle
Ahip devoid Of underwater protection
would inevitably be destroyed. Hence.
declares a leading naval ofiicer, the
term destroyer In Its fullest and truest
senac, 10 only applicable to the modern
diving torpedo boat. As sure as one
OF these submarine ship destroyers. in
Z state Of suspension at a regulated
depth below the surface OF the water, is
nAvigated to within striking distance
OF l5.000-.on battle ship. so surely
will the ponder0us battle ship be de-
seroyci Immediately on being struck
BY missile aimed by her unseen foe.
There is no give and take about this
whatever, as the submarine torpedo
boat, when deeply immersed. is out of
reach OF its opponent, while at the
same time Il strikes at the most vital
and unprotected part OF the hull of the
monster floating above 1t.
1t is uron this very point that the
marine architects and engineers OF the
world have been puzzling their brains
for years That is. they have taxed
their inventive powers to the utmost
to devise form Of protection against
the scientific advance of submarine
warfare. The only continuance now In
ssse 10 protect the lower portion OF a
ships hun from torpedo attack is a
huge netting OF wire ssung from booms
ON the side II the ship, and which
= supposed to penetrate far enough be-
meath the surface of the water to fnr-
niah protection for the entire bottom.
This apparatus affords protection to
saOn7e extent when the vessel has hove

.asain, torpedoes have been invented
for the purpose OF cutting through the
netting. when 1t is found as an OBJ
Utacle.

,nedo could not reach the hull proper.

How to Sion Snoring.

To those who snore and are aware
of the infirmity and wish to get rid Of
We would commend the following:
There are two channels in which the
air travels in going to the lungs-name
ly. the nose and the mouth. These
two passages unite in common cav
ity and from that point there is but
one tube leading to the lungs. There
is bone called the hard palate which
forms the roof of the mouth and the
floor of the nose, separating these two
air channels from each other. At the
inner or pOsteriOr end Of the bone is
little body called the soft palate
made of muscle and covered with a
delicate skin. This soft palate Is at
tached at one end to the hard palate;
the other end hangs loose, and moves

they could reach the ship, and for this
purpose the present system OF net de-
Tense was devised. This consists of
wire netting suspended vertically from
steel or wooden bOoms attached to the
hull OF the ship. from which they pro-
ject from o5 to 50 feet. The nets hang
down to depth of 20 feet and are
connected together In sections. so as to
then form continuous crino,ine OF
netting. But should the ship move
through the water. the nets are more
or less impeiled towards the surface.
according to the speed OF the ship.
For these reasons naval officers do not
consider that nets can be used at sea-
THUS 1t is evident that II external
protection Is to be relied upon. 1t must
be in different form. and DIR. Jones
has devised torpedo guard which Is
not only novel. but free from most OF
the objections inherent to the net de-
Tense. His plan Is to have stee, shells
made to the form Of the ship and or
dtnarily rasting against the hull. They
are, however. capable OF being pro-

distance of 20 feet from the hull, and
this cushion Of water, together with
the resistance offered by the steel plat
Ing, should secure ship from ma
terial injury in the event Of a torpedo
exploding against the guard. II Is OBJ
vious that the plate could not be cut
through like net, nor would 1t be
forced out OF position by current, or
the ships moving through the water.
An advantage Of this system Is that
all the appliances for working this
protection are above the water line
and always in position. thus enabling
the protection to be put in position at
the shortest notice. while it overcomes
the difficulty attached to supporting
steel booms or rams. If projected to a
distance OF 20 or 80 feet. This plan
now proposed by DIR. Jones Is. in my
opinion, the best which has yet been
put forward for guarding against the
terrible effects of locomotive torpedo
attack. and looking to the grave issue
involved, consider that expenditure
would be wisely incurred In giving It .
trial.

but would explode itself against the
preventive hull, as the guard might be
termed. That, of course would be de-
saved from destruction. As previously
stated. the shield must fit snugly to
the hull. The shield consists of a num-
Der of wide plates. placed side by side.
and hung by hinges on a long rod run
ming the length of the ship. just above
the water line. and extend to the keel,
Above each plate ID a davit securely
attached to the ships side. A tackle
is suspended from each davit and the
lower block hooks into ring bolt into
the lower end Of the plate. The falls
run into the hull and connect with
windlass, SO that the guard can be
hoisted out by steam. When placed
In position for defense. it must be
hauled outboard. about twenty feet
from the hull. Thus, besides the re-
sistance Of the shield. huge cushion of
water which has been formed. aids in
the protection OF the ship.
Captain S. Eardley Wilmot. n. n.
late chief torpedo expert of the admi
rally. in his report has the following
to say on the subject: 1.-The develop
ment of the Whitehead torpedo. with
which now nearly all nations are sup
piled, renders the question of protecting
ships against this attack one of the
gravest consideration. The torpedo
boat of to-day travels at the rate of
30 knots an hour and carries 200
pounds of explosive compound directed
against the most vulnerable part OF a
ship, that of her hull under water. We
have been enabled by the addition of
large masses of armor, to fairly pro-
tect the water line and above 1t, against
the effects of artillery fire, but cannot
extend this to the submerged portion
Of her hull as defense against tor
pedo attacks. We have, therefore,
been obliged to restrict our ndeavors,
as far as structural arrangements are
concerned, to give ships of war
double bottom, and subdividing them
internally into number of water tight
compartments, thus seeking to dimin-
ish the effects Of an explosion and re-
strict the inflow of water at that point.
"As, however, these ARRANGEMENTS
could only give very partial protection
at time when torpedoes carried q
comparatively small charge. it was con-
sidered desirable to stop them before
