In the opinion of naval experts the
Wisconsin when completed will be one
of the most formidable fighting ma
chimes afOat. She is classed as q first
class seagOing battleship. meaning that
she will be able to keep the sea in all
kinds of weather and meet an enemy
on N equal footing. This increases her
superiority over vessels of the Indiana
and Kentucky class. The armament
of the Wisconsin will be of enorm Gus
power. At one discharge she will be
able to send three tons OF steel projec-
tiles which will be sufficient to rend
even the strongest ships. So far as her
armament is concerned she will be
able to cope with whole fleet o. the
cruiser class, and she will be able
10 give good account
of herself in a melee with squad
ron of the second class battleships.
Individually there is no antagonist
aflOat that she need fear.

DOMESTlcATEO Wolves.
They Mate With Farmers Dogs Away In
in Minnesota.

Notwithstanding the fact that rrcah
wolf hunts are held in Minnesota every
year, when hundreds of tho animals
are slaughtered, tho number of tho
brutes is apparently increasing. In
many instances they are so devoid Of
fear that they mate freely with the
dogs owned by the farmers, and the
result is that dozens of creatures half
dog half wolf are making their appear
ance in Anoka, MINI.
In this connection John Anderson.
q farmer residing few miles north Of
Anoka, tells an interesting story. For
many months he had occasionally seen
his handsome collie dog in company
with two female wolves. which made n
practice OF coming to the farmhouse
every night, where the dog shared
with them his food.
A few days ago Anderson had occa-
sion to go to an old strawstack somo
distance from his barn. While at wor],
there he saw a wolf sneak out OF the
stack and hurriedly make off across
the field. Anderson at once made an
investigation, and was soon rewarded
by hearing the whimpering of baby
wolves in nest in the interior Of tho
stack.
While digging them out, using O
heavy pitchfork, there was a sudden
SNAIL and q second female wolf came
out with q rush Anderson struck ot
her with the pitchfork and succeeded
in driving the tines through her BODY.
She made a desperate Effort to reach
the man, but was soon desrqtcled.
The farmer then began in earnest
the work of digging out the vou1a-
ones, of which lie found eight. there
being two nests close together. Tie
whelps were TOE young n make aro1,

A Western farmer who had been
selling his milk for two cents q quart
thought he would try for part Of the
trade of small town near him when
the retail price was five cents. He
invited the people to como out to his
farm upon certain day, and he
showed them over the farm, exhibited
his stock and explained his system of
feeding and general management.
Then came the milking. The milk
men came out with clean shirts and
snow. white aprons, bringing pals of
hot and cold water. They thoroughly
washed their hands, and then the ud
ders ana teats of tho COWS with warm
water and CASTLE soap, rinsing them
carefully and wiping dry. The YES
sells for holding the milk were bright
and clean, the stables and stalls
were clean. The milk was strained,
aerated, quickly cooled and placed in
G cool, clean cellar. All the details
were explained to the visitors as the
work progressed, and they went home
satisfied that there they could obtain
clean and wholesome milk. The next
day he sought customers and found
market for all he could supply at six
cents quart, or cent above the mar
ket rate in the town, and it was but
little more trouble to deliver it than
TO have carried it to the railroad sta
ton aud send it TO Chicago for two

anxious and wearisome ones for
Barney. Aggie went to the very
threshold Of death, but she did not
cross 1t, and the loving brother had
the infinite satisfaction of believing
though more likely than not he was
wrong in his belief-that the happy
issue was entirely due to the skill Of
the physician his money had made
possible.
After the little eister had recovered
and the doctor had been paid, Barney
began again to set aside the dimes and
nickels for the purpose which he still
kept in mind; but things are always
going at cross-purposes in the Rollins
household. There have been overdue
wood and coal bills, butchers and
grocers' accounts to pay, and shoes to
buy for the children. There are many,
many imperative demands where
family Is large, the father drllnkard
and the income small.
Nearly two years have passed since
Barney Rollins began saving money
for wig. His head is still Just as
smooth and shiny; and his sensitive
ness just as keen as at the beginning.
The boys still call!him Badly" Mamie
O'Rourke still treats him with pity
ing condescension harder to bear than
downright abuse. He is working and
saving still, just as if nothing had hap
pened; always hopeful, sustained in
his disheartening efforts by the vision
of himself as he will appear, once the
coveted wig is in its place.
He earns more now, and the time Is
sure to come, if he keeps on, when he
will be able to purchase something in
the way of head-ge far more suitable
than the paltry ten-dollar scratch
wig" he has set his heart on, beautiful
as that seems to him now.
In the meantime, though he does
not suspect it, Barney Rollins's bald
head is veritabls crown of glory; and
to those of us who know his simple
history the light of the lamps in the
bowling-alley where he works, makes,
as it is reflected from that shining bald
head, halo of which no saint need
be ashamed. Youths Companion,

Prince Bismarck was often re-
preached in later years, when he lived
in afluence, with living the life of .
recluse, neither entertaining himself
nor showing himself at other peoples
parties. The charge was unjust. AS
Prussia's Minister at Frankfurt-on-
Main and In ST. Petersburg, he kept
open house, and his board was always
indisputably as Hospitality laden and
as constantly frequented as that Of any
of his colleagues. When he came in
to Office, and from then till the day of
his departure into private life, his full
attention was claimed by the mass Of
business that poured into his chancery.
His own herculean constitution, eX-
cused from the demands made 10y So
ciety, managed, with the help OF
waters, mineral springs, and occasion
al repose to his digestive organs, TO
hold out, while those who worked with
him were used up by scores; but any
attempt to live the life of ordinary be-
ings would have infallibly shortened
the days of the man whose labor has
won for Prussia the pc sition she now
holds, and for the Kings of Prussia
the imperial crown.-London Tele-

A Very Zig Boy.

A lady from the country. who re-
Gently had occasion to send to town
for Il suit of boys clothes, took the
measurements herself. She received
the following reply:
'Dear Madam: Your favor received,
but we regret to say that we have no
clothes such as you want, and we
doubt if they can be found outside a
museum with fat boy. Fifty-four
inches round the chest, twenty-four
round the neck and sixty round the
waist is little out of our line. Pos
sibly you might squeeze the boy down
g little, but this would hardly be adj
visable, for, ase you say, ho is only
twelve, and the chances are that he
would grow with all you might do.
We would advise you to take the
youth to some wholesale tailoring
establishment. A boy with arms sixty
three inches long aud legs just six feet
to an inch is little beyond the capa-
bilities of this establishment, though
we study to please. -
The lady has since learned that she
used the wrong side of the tape
measure. -Pearson's Weekly.

AheY VIII 30 Assigned rs Station Shios
In Cuban and Porto Rican Ports.
The old monitors Of the Civil War
period, having proved their efficiency
IN the present war, during which they
have been manned by the naval re-
serves Of the several States, will be
continued in service as station ships in
the various ports on the Cuban and
Porto Rican coasts. It is understood
that they will be assigned for duty
probably in the fall or as soon as the
details of command and muster of men
from the regular force of the navy can
be arranged. These vessels will be
turned over to the Navy Department
as rapidly as the naval reserves are
mustered out. Two which have been
carrying naval militia from New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania are laid ND at
the League Island Navy Yard, Phila-
delphia, and the others are in various
harbors on the Atlantic coast. These
vessels are of two classes, the first, of
2100 tons, consisting of the Ajax, Can
onicus, Mahopac, Manhattan and
Wyandotte, and the second, of 1875
tons, comprising the Comanche, Cats
kill, Jason, Lehigh, Montauk, Nahant
and Nantucket The Comanche is on
the Pacific coast and will not be in
cluded in the detail for service in the
West Indies.

The only instruments known to
these tribes were the drum, the rattle,
and kind Of hageolct.
The drum and rattle were used in
accompanying the voice, TO accentuate
the rhythm and to assist in interpret
ing the emotive impulse of the song
Shaking the rattle and beating the
drum with clear, sharp strokes served
not only to mark the time, but to Sc
cure the coordination and unity Of
movement Of the numerous voices in
the choral, or to enforce precision of
motion in the dance. The tromolo of
the drum or rattle was to express the
awe and trepidation felt when ap-
preaching the supernatural, or when
invoking the aid Of the occult powers.
The flageolet was q rather rude in
strumont, having a range limited to
eight or ten notes IN the treble clef.
Owing to the lack of mechanical ac-
curacy in its manufacture, this range
varied with every instrument, as did
also the quality and value of the tone
relations. There seems to have been
only one requirement of the maker
namely, that when the hagelet was
blown with all the six holes stopped
there should be strong vibrations in
the tone produced. This instrument
was used exclusively for solos by the
young men of tho tribe, and, in spite
of the inaccuracies of pitch arising
from its imperfect construction, some
of the melodies composed for it are
not without hints OF beauty.-Journal
of American Folk Lore.

"gang" Mamie O'Rourke, whose
esteem Barney held above all price,
and who had singled him out, before
his illness, for her smiles and favors,
pitied where form ariy she had adj
mired, and was kind but condoscend-
ing.
Even the tiniest street urchin hooted
him, as The children in tho Bible story
hooted the prophet, Elisha. Though
they did not use the precise words of
those children, "Go up, thou bald
head" they used words just as un-
pleasant 10 hear, and Barney, unlike
the Hebrew prophet, had no she-bears
at his command. AT fifteen boy sets
great by his personal appearance ;
and it must not be imagined that, be-
cause he lived at the end of grimy,
cluttered, six-foot-wide alley, in
rickety tenement ON which tho sun
shone not more than fifteen,minutes
day, Barney Rollins did not have as
much pride as boys of the same age
who are better housed.
On the contrary, Barney felt his
misfortune quite as keenly as many
pampered little aristocrat would have
done, for. he was boy of an e1cep-
tionally fine grained nature, and his
very soul was embitterod by this dis
fgurement which q coarser- -fbred boy
would not have minded.
Down town, one day, Barney saw,
In tho show. window of theatrical
supply-shop, q fine array of wigs, and
among them one that in color and tex
ture seemed so exact copy of his own
departed hair that his hoart was IN
his mouth in an instant. The sight
thrilled him through and through.
Drawing certain fidicule, he entered
the shop and Inquired the price. '"Ten
dollarsl" For him, at that moment it
might as well have been ten thousand.
Never mind he must aud would have
that wigl
Easy enough to resolve, but how to

this had to be given up for the sup
port of the family, and Barney knew
we'll enough it would be no use to try
to divert any of it to himself. He was
not inclined to cheat his parents, and
had he been he could not by any
chance have done it; they were too
vigilant for that.
70 get the wig he must earn moro
money, and to earn more money he
must have more work The extra in
come from the extra work would be
all his own; for to this his parents
so at least it seemed to Barney--could
have no righteous claim.
AS nothing better suggested itself,
Barney put his resolution into effect
by returning to the early morning
boot cleaning and paper selling he
had been glad to give up when he had
attained to the dignity Of position in
dry goods house. lie also found
chances to deliver goods for fish
markets and meat markets on Thurs
