The Peasant and His Son.

One day a peasant carried basket
of potatoes to the field and dug holes in
the soil and planted them. His young
son watched operations for time and
then inquired:
Daddy, why do you put those taters
in the ground?'
''By SO doing each one will bring me
back ten, my son, replied the father.
The boy went away, and when his
father came up to dinner he found him
digging in the yard and asked:
Sonny, what are you seeking?"
"Why, daddy, 1 have planted the
clock, two umbrellas, the teapot, your
Sunday hat, ma boots and tablecloth,
and each one will bring me back ten. I"
"You young idiot, come here and be
skelped 20 shouted the father, and he
tanned the boy up and down, crossways
and sideways, until he was tired.
Daddy planted taters to get back
ten" unused the boy as he sat down un-
der the COW shed to think. But l plant
ed clocks and hats and boots to get a

England With the Heavy Hand.

England has inflicted far greater land
disasters on her redOubtable neighbOr,
France, than all the military monarch
les of Europe put together. English
armies for 120 years ravaged France,
while England has not seen the fires Of
a French camp since the battle Of Hast
ings. English troops have twice taken
the French capital, an English king
was crowned at Paris, a French king
rode captive through London, French
emperor died in English captivity and
his remains were surrendered by Eng
lish generosity. Twice the English
horse marched from Calais to the Pyr-
enees, once from the Pyrenees to Ca
lais; the monuments of Napoleon in
the French capital at this moment owe
their preservation from German revenge
to an English general.
All the great disasters and days of
mourning for France since the battle of
Hastings-Tenchebray, Cressy, Poitiers
Agincourt, Verneuil, Crevant, Blen-
helm, Oudenarde, Families, Nalpla-
quet, Minden, Dettingen, Quebec,
Egypt, Talavera, Salamanca, Nittoria,
the Pyrenees, Orthes, Waterloo-were
gained by English generals, and won,
for the most part, by English soldiers.
Even at FOntenoy, the greatest victory of
which France can boast since Hastings,
every regiment in the French army was
on their own admission routed by the
terrible English column, and victory
was snatched from its grasp solely from
want of support on the part of the
Dutch and AustrianS-Alison' Life

THE AMERICAN SAILOR.
Jacky Has Become Specialist and a Credit
to the Navy.

Jacky Has Become a Specialist and a Credit
to the Navy.
Jacky, who used TO be more sailor
than gunner, is now more gunner than
sailor. Just in proportion as he has
ceased to be part of the great engine
on which he lives, so he has come more
and more into the control of it, and as
the cardinal purpose of a warship is to
hit things with her projectiles Jacky
has become specialist in getting that
work out of her. He does it in two
places-at the guns and at the engines
Correctly pointed guns are of no use
unless the platform on which they rest
is put in proper relation to the thing to
be hit and kept there. Equally it is use
less to get the ship into proper place
unless the guns are correctly pointed.
Men who can do either of these things
must have natural capacities and be sus-
ceptible TO education, and only men Of
this sort are eligible for our Eavy.

ARMY AND NAVY GUNS.
A Vast Difference In the Number of Men
Required to Handle Them.

The number of men required to man
naval guns of the British, French, Ger
man and American navles is about the
same, although the French are under
stood to have more men as rule for
some of the larger guns.
For the inch and 5 inch all services
require four men to work each piece
for the inch, six men are needed, and
for the 10, 10 and 13 inch the same
number.
AS nearly all our 8, 10, 10 and 1S
inch guns are used in pairs and mount
ed in turrets the - men working them
are protected by heavy plates of steel.
For the little l Founders three men are
necessary to work them rapidly, and
for the Founders and Founders four
men are assigned, and for the Hotchkiss
three men.
Treble the number of men seem to be
required to work the same caliber of
guns IN our coast defense system, al
though there is no special reason for
this, unless it be due to the fact that
the army guns are mounted on disap-
pearing carriages and are not provided
with turrets, which naturally limits the
space of the operators. An army s inch
gun takes 10 men to work it; 10 inch
gun requires Is men, and IL inch
gun, the largest now constructed by the
army, calls for 21 men.
1t will be seen, therefore, that a 13
inch naval gun is operated by six men,
while an army gun of one inch less cali
ber calls for 21 men. The navy gun can
be fired just as rapidly with its six men
as the army gun can be fired with its
larger number Boston Herald

CHATTER REACHES SANTIAGO.
Terrible Battle IL Looked For Upon Els
Attempt to Land Troops.

Washington, June 22.--The United
States army for the invasion of Cuba,
about 10000 strong, commanded by
General Shafter, arrived off Santiago
de Cuba about noon yesterday, and
whom the feet of thirty-five transports
with its freight of fighting men swept
up the southern coast and slowed up,
within sight of the doomed city of SAN,
tiago, the anxiously awaited soldiers
were greeted with ringing cheers,
which family echoing to the transports
from the decks of the blockadiug war
ships, far inshore, they were answered
by the troops most enthusiastically
and in kind.
The week of anxious waiting and inn
patient chafing was over, the army and
the navy had at last joined for a final
blow at Santiago.
1t was intended to take the entire
fleet to the lines of Rear Admiral Samp-
sons fleet of warships, but an order
from the admiral stopped the advance
of the fleet about Is miles to the south
east, and, escorted by the Gloucester,
General Shafter went forward on the
Segurancia to confer with the ad-
miral.
The long and trying journey from
Tampa has left the men in much
better condition than anticipated.
There are Ia cases of typhoid on the
hospital ship, among them being Ma
ior Horton of the Twenty fifth in!
fantry, and several cases of measles.
There are, however, no serious cases
of sickness. Owing to the smoothness
of the passage, the soldiers were not
generally affected by seasickness.
They are all wildly anxious to get
ashore and begin fighting.
Whenever the landing takes place
there will undoubtedly be some warm
fighting. The Spaniards have force
of from 10000 to As, 900 men, placed
from Guantanamo to Cabanas, dis
tance of fifty miles, and as our troo ps
will be landed at different points,
some warm work may be looked for.
