good as any ii the world. It is doubt
full, though, whether they would be
able to fight as well. England has al
ways been able to defeat France OB
the ocean, and the victories Of Nelson
are by no means exceptional. Napol-
con was never able to do anything with
his navy. On the other hand, the war
with Spain has shown the superiority
Of the Anglo-Saxon race on the sea.
Great Britain has always won her
naval wars except with the United
States.
There are other things to be con-
sidered in a war besides the army and
navy. In the first place there is the
area Of the two countries. France and
its colonies cover 1857 1856 square miles,
with s., S6,967 population, while Great
Britain has 1l,325,SO6 square miles,

kingdom is the first naval power of
the world. France is second. They are
not so far apart as one might think.
Great Britain has 5s7 ships and France
has 4S7.
The figures show the superiority of
Great Britain in ships; though the
French have more sailors. Great Brit
aims navy, of course, is unequaled. It
is impossible to go into details here

svidual ships. It must be said for

The deepest lake in the world, so far

While 5000 square miles in area, or
nearly as large as Lake Erie, it is 900

nearly as much water as Lake supe

The Patron saint of Cycling.

French comic papers are having a
gay time trying to decide upon the
patron saint OF cycling. There is
St. Catherine, who was broken on
the wheel aud who is the patron saint
of elderly unmarried ladies. But she
would hardly do, as wheels of today
are to bring life, not death to the
women. and besides. as she is the es
pecial defender of ancient spinsters,
this would natural prohibit her from
securing the alteration OF all wheel
women. probably st. German, who
came from across the western sea rid
ing cart wheel, to rid Normandy of
a fearful dragon that devastated all
the land, will carry OF the pain. The
old dragon died Immediately upon
seeing the man upon Il wheel just as
the terrible monsters OF ill-health,
restlessness and prudishness vanish
from woman's life when she begins
to ride Il wheel. Surely st. German
deserves to be elected the patron
saint OF cur noble pastime. Bicycling

Arrh Woman Hatcr..

There live together on splendidly
cultivated farm near Reading, Penn,
four brothers Ofierman, aged respec-
lively so, 7s. II and 81. who through
ont their lives have been the most
pronounced and inveterate woman
haters.
They own a valuable farm and have
$40. 600 ont at interest, but they do
all their own teamwork and house
work unaided, and will not employ a
woman in any capacity, or have any
association with the gent'er sex. The
family formerly included two sisters,
who likewise never married. but lived
with their brothers at the old home
stead. They studiously avoided men
as their brothers avoided women.
About ten years ago the sisters died
and since then the brothers have lived
closely to themselves. Besides care
fully tilling their 1855 acres of rich
land, they take turns in doing the
regular family washing, cooking, churn-
ing, sewing and all other domestic
services incident to conducting a
household They keep everything
about the farm scrupulously neat and
tidy.
They have the reputation OF making
the freshest, richest and yeIIowest
butter in theneighborhood, and their
bread and pies are pronounced by
casual visitors to be unrivaed.

An inventive genius who suffered
from attacks by stray dogs when riding
his wheel, set his wits to work to devise
something which would be an effica-
cious, and yet comparatively harmless,
means of defense. As result he has
brought out and patented pocket
pistol which will shoot ammonia,
water or other liquid. The most vic
ious dog cannot withstand few drops
of ammonia in his mouth or eyes, and
yet there is no danger of actually in
juring a valuable animal which might
playfully annoy rider. The weapon
has proved SO much Of success as a
means of defense rs well as fun max
ing. that the lucky inventor is realizin g
much money from his device.
