Vessels Of the United States and Spain

A reader desires the Spy to state the
present respective strengths of the navies

lowing figures, obtained from reliable
sources, and practically up to date, do
tiated for or ordered by the two nations in
question. They also do not include mer-

SPANISH NAVY.
The Liberal, Madrid newspaper, very
recently gave the strength of the Spanish
navy as follows:
Protected ships, II; unprotected ships
20; gunboats, 80; torpedo boat destroyers
IA: torpedo boats, IA: transports, 25. To-
tai 170.
While the total number Of vessels of the
Spanish navy is thus shown to be greater
than the total of our navy by 48, it must
be borne in mind that we possess great
superiority in protected large vessels and
in torpedo boats. while Spain has no moni-
tors to oppose ours. On the other hand,
Spain's great superiority in gunboats is
manifest, wkile she has "A torpedo boat de-
stroyers and we have none.
1t is clear that in the event of war each
country would make an effort to supply
its differing deficiencies. But we are bet
ter prepared for sea fighting than Spain,
since more of the latter countrys vessels
than those of the United States are suited
only for coast protection.

GEESE ARE STUPID.
According TO an Old Poultryman They
Came stand Rainstorm
When Thirsty.

.Geeae are peculiar" said an old
poultry salesman in Manhattan mar
ket. "Put them out in a rainstorm
when they have a good thirst on and
they are liable to die. About ten years
ago l was engaged by firm to go out
through the west and buy live geese
and chickens. 1 bought ten car loads,
nut them In crates and started east.
The geese were in the crates nearest
the floor of the open car-that's the
regular way to ship them-and on top
of them were piled the chicken crates.
"We got about ten miles from st. Jo-
seph, Mo-, when the load on one of the
cars sagged. and the whole pile OF
crates was spilled on the side OF the
track, In piling the crates on again
the geese were placed on top. knew
' was taking chances, because rain
storm meant death to the geese, but
there didn't seem to be any storm in
sight, and l thought we could make
st. Joseph and shift the load there.
The train had only gone a short dis.
lance when a storm came up so sud-
denly that the rain was falling almost
a. soon as the clouds were noticed.
The geese had been without water for
some hours, and the moment they felt
the rain they were stretching their
necks through the openings between
the Stats and holding their bills open
to catch the drops. Well, l got an old
coat and laid it over as many of the
crates as it would cover, so as to save
as many as possible. Then I got a
switch and tried to force the others to
keep their heads, inside the crates,
They didn't mind the switch very
much, and l had to give each one four
or five good hits before it would pull in
its head, and when started on new
lead the old one would pop up again.
When we got into st. Joseph it was
still raining, and every goose in the
top crates with the exception of those
under the coat was dead. Whether
they died from drinking too much or
from drinking while their necks were
IL an unnatural position I do not
know, but every mar who has handled
live geese knows that thirsty goose
in rainstorm in crate is as good as
dead. I've never told of this peculiar
ity about geese without being doubted
but you just ask any poultryman if il
isn't true."-N. Y. Sul.

The Horse and His Teeth.

When horse does not appear to
thrive as he should on his food, and
the most careful observation fails to
account for his condition, it is wise to
have his teeth carefully examined, es-
pecially the back jaw teeth or molars.
An irregularity of these is often the
unsupported source of the evil. The
molars occasionally wear ;rregularly;
sometimes the upper border overlap
ping the external surface of the lower,
while the internal surface of the lower
rises to corresponding height within
the mouth. In such cases sharp points
are found where the wear has been
slightest, and these roughnesses LAGER

full extent its nutritive principles

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Old comb usually thickens with use
Empty frames of comb should be well
taken care of when not in use.
Colonies that are short of stores for
winter should be fed during Septem,
Der.
Most colonies, if rightly managed
will build down to the bottom of sec
tions.
If necessary to melt honey, melt il
slowly. If melted rapidly it will be
spoiled.
The best way of keeping empty
combs is to store them in boxes that are
mice proof.
By keeping bees in good, thrifty
condition at this time robbing may be
prevented.
Beeswax is valuable product. Every
particle of comb should be rendered
into wax.
Buckwheat may be sown as late a.
the first week in August, and will fur
nish considerable honey.
The objection to using rosin to faster
foundations in the frames is that i
will spoil the wax later on.
There is often a considerable diff
ference in the amount of brood in diff
ferent colonies, and consequently il
the amount of honey left in their hroot
nest.-St. Louis Republic

active work. A year or SO ago, when she

when women must be most careful of their
strength, Mrs. Houseweart was taken seri-

that she had reached a critical period Of her
life, and must be very careful. His pre-
scriptions and treatment did not benefit her,
and other treatment proved unavaiing.
At last Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale

eight boxes have been consumed, and she
