PRIZE CAPTURES OF WAR.

The Panama brought about 100000.
1t was taken April 25 by the Mangrove.
The first naval capture made after
the declaration of war with Spain was
the Buena Ventura: a Spanish mer-
chairman, which was taken by the
Nashville, April %.
The prize capture that was valued
the highest Of any taken during the
war was the Pedro. She was taken by
the New York, April %, and was sold
at an appraisement of 100000 to the
navy department.
On May 10 the Spanish steamer Rita
was brought by the auxiliary cruiser
Yale into Charleston, and with her
cargo of coal condemned. She has
since been purchased by the war de-
partment on an appraisement of $125,-
900 for use as transport.
Of 27 steamers captured between
April % and August 10 (inclusiye) ten
were condemned and II released.
What the action was in four cases has
rot been learned and two cases are yet
pending.
The Guido, joint capture of the
Machias and Terror, with her cargo
was sold for $13O, 1000. She was a steam
Ell Of over 2,000 tons, carrying a valua-

SOME GREAT INVENTORS.

Arkwright, the inventor of the spin
ming machine. was barber
Cartwright, the inventor of the
power loom. was clergyman who had
never seen a weaver at work.
Brindley. the greatest civil engineer
in England before the present CEN
tury, was totally deficient in scientific
training.
Whitney, who invented the cotton
gin, was school-teacher; and Fulton,
Of steamboat fame, was an artist
painter, as was also Samuel F. B.
Morse, discoverer of the telegraph.
1t is interesting to note the number
of important inventions due to the in
genuity Of persons whose occupations
lay entirely out Of the line of mechan-
ical pursuits.
But very few are aware that Squire
Ebenezer Clifford, Of Exeter, n. H.,
with whom Daniel Webster boarded
during his school days in that town,
was the first man in this country to in
vent and use a diving bell.
1t is not generally known that the
author of 'Selenography," Hevelins,
who published a work at DaEtzic as
early as 1647, made the copper plate
engravipgs. which are very fine, for
that book He also built his own OBJ
servatory and made his own telescopes,
even to the glass for the lenses

The Rnx Preached.

A hush fell upon the congregation
while the famous boy preacher but.
toned the third button of his Prince
Albert preparatory to his opening sem
tence. Far and wide throughout the
land his influence had been felt. The
sound of his voice had electrified null
titudes. The vigor and freshness of
his discourse had charmed million
hearers. At length the Albert was
buttoned. Placing his hands behind
him the speaker sailor rather, he
tried to say it, for the inarticulate
sounds that issued from his mouth
bore no resemblance to any language.
The congregation stared in astonish-
ment. The orator stopped in dismay
and suddenly retired in confusion.
Alas for the forgetfulness of genius,
The boy preacher had left his false
teeth at home.-Harlem Life.

extending royal clemency to Sabbath
breakers.
The queen could selror give away the
royal navy, or declare war witt Russia,
but she could not spend single farth-

The queen cannot communicate with
her subjects as she can the most

ORCHARD WISDOM.

Watch a sod orchard 1t will begin to
fail before you know it.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be ap-
piled to fruit trees, particularly after
they come into bearing.
Good drainage, natural or artificial,
is essential to success. Trees are i'm
patient of wet feet.
Good tilage increases the available
food supply OF the soil and also CON
serves its moisture.
Only cultivated crops should be al
lowed in orchards early in the season.
Grain and hay should never be grown.
Even home or cultivated crops may
rob the trees Of moisture and fertility
if they are allowed to stand above the
tree roots.
Tillage should be begun just as soon
as the ground is dry enough in the
spring, and should be repeated as often
as once in ten days throughout the
growing season, which extends from
spring until July or August.

There are 10 varieties of the tobacco

Where it grew by the garden wall;
And just below is the little brook
With the laughing waterfall,
Beyond arc the meadows, sweet and fair,
And f-ecked by the sun and shade;
And all the beauties of earth and air
Wore in those cookies, SO rich and rare,
My Aunt Lucinda made.
So, add one more to the worlds lost arts,
For the cookies you make are sad
And they haven't the power to stir our

For / see her yet, with sleeves uprolled
And | watch her mix and lznead

The butter and sugar, just all they'll hold
And spice them with caraway seen.

Arming the BattIeship of the Future.

The man behind the gun has had his

founder snd the engineer are now
called out for commentator 1t is in
teresting to note that the deductions
of the American board of survey that
critically inspected the remains of
Admiral Cervera's battleships are in
close accord with the frequently ex-
pressed views of Chief Naval ConstTuc-
tor Hichhorn. Chief Engineer Melville,
and other naval bureau officers of note.
These expert views have not been re-
ceived either in the service or in the
congressional committees with the fa-
vor they are now seen to have deserved.
Most likely Cervera's great misfortune
and the comparative immunity of our
vessels from serious damage will give
more weight in the future to American
constructive opinions. Greater speed.

Of torDedoes below the water line, and
