Submarine Warefare.
IChicago Dispatch. 1


 If the Holland submarine boat can do all that has been claimed for it the government IS discouragingly slow in securing it.
 During the war between the states American ingenuity invented the ironclad, which revolutionized the navies of the world. On the eve of the war with Spain another inven- tion is brought forward which may work a second revolution in naval architecture as great as that of the late war.
 It is alleged that France is eager to secure the Holland, and that the naval experts who have examined the boat for the United States are inclined to discourage the idea of it's purchase.
 Officers of the navy will not take kindly to the notion of fighting un- der tae sea with boats of the Hol- land type. There is little of the pemp of war connected with such a vessel. There is absolutely no grandeur about fighting on the Hot land. Instead of 400 men, a crew of four composes the entire command, and yet, in the presence of this in- significant little craft, if it can do what those who have tested it aver, the stanchest and stateliest battle ship is powerless and doomed to de- struction.
 Of course, the success of the Hol- laad would not make cruisers use- less, for the Holland is not sea-go- ing craft, but great battleships would be displaced, for whenever a Holland appeared the fate of the man-of-war would be sealed.
 Armor plate men will do all they can to discredit the Holland. Naval officers may be inclined to discour- age the government from purchas, ing the boat, but in spite of such opposition, the Holland should be tested by the United States, and it's inven tor should not be permitted to sell his boat to France, as dispatch es from New York intimate he may do

Fighting the mohrnunfis.

Private Lever of the Buffs tells two, characteristics of the fight in which be was hit when General Jeffery, with the mountain battery and escort, was hemmed in a village all night by thou sands of Mohmunds. Thewouuded were lying under wall exposed to- torrents of rain and to showers of. stUreswnich the enemy hurled down at thenr from houses near. It seemed impossible that any relieving force could come to their aid before daybreak or that the mere handful of Buffs could hold out much longer. Their ammunition was running short. Then Lever heard one wounded officer ask another, "How many shots have you got in your revoive9f' "Cnly two." "Then don't waste them, old chap; keep one for me. the other dor yourself. t"
 When ammunition was soneax1y ex- hausted that no orders were given to fire until the enemy could be distinctly seen, a sudden rattle of irregular fire was heard on one side of the village, followed by savage yel1s, but no other sound. The few Bluffs holding apost in that direction stood with rifles leveled ready to fire volleys directly rush was attempted. The commotion came near or, and just as the noncommissioned of fioer in charge of that post had the command to present" on his lips the flame from native gun flashed on bristling steel. British bayonets had been doing their grim work there in the darkness so silently that nobody thought friends were so near. The relief had come. The enemy gave way, and a min- ute later Major Worlledgea with his companies of Sikhs and guides, entered the village.-London News.

His Own Spoon.

I heard capital story of Charles Mathews, writes Mir. Joseph Hatton, from an old actor at the Lotus club in New York. He was invited, with his manager and two others, to dine with Q citizen who carried on the business of pawnbroking and though we'll off kept but one assistant.
 Mathews was we'll known among his friends and admirers for hisremarkable powers of rapid imitation and charao- terization, off the stage as we'll as on, but probably he never gave a more re- markable illustration of those powers than on this occasion.
 The host being called out of the din- ing room at the back of the shop, Ma thews altered his hair, turned up his collar and put on another mans hat.
 Then, making a suitable change of oountenanoe, he took large silver gravy spoon from the table, ran into the street, and, entering one of the little boxes which universally shield one customer from another at pawnbrokers' counters, pledged to his unsuspecting host his own piece of plate and returned to his place at table as the pawnbroker re-entered the room.--Youth's Companion.

A Blessing For the Ladies.

Thousands of ladies are using Brazil ian Balm. For soreness, pain, bearing down and many kinds of trouble, it acts like charm. A so cent or dollar bottle often does more good in one week than any other remedy does in months. It goes right to the spot, removing all in- ham1nation. Mrs. Geo. w. Roberts, of Wilmington, Del, says, "A strong so1u- tion of Brazilian Balm and warm water used as an injection has done me more good than all the remedies and prescrip- tions I ever tried"
