Eng1and's Opinion of Us.

The admiration and interest mani
tested in the destruction of Admiral
Cervera's feet are indescribable. Our
naval officers look upon it as splen-
Hid achievement, rejecting inexpres-
sible credit on the officers and men of
The blockading squadron. Such is
the crushing disparity between the
naval capacity of the two nations that
it is believed that if the Spanish fleet
had been manned and fought by
American officers and crews, and Ad-
miral Simpsons squadron led by Ad-
miral Cervcra and his officers and
men, the loss of life on the American
side might perhaps have been greater,
but the result would have been the
same. If proof were needed it is sup
piled by the gallant action of the
Gloucester, commanded by Lieuten-
ant Wainwright. Wainwright's fail
ure TO observe his Admiral's signal
is Nelsonic. The opinion of the pro-
fessional experts comedies with that
of hard-worked lieutenants of the
Channel squadron. It is that the
American navy, both as regards per-
sonnel and material, is now as near
perfection as skill, courage, practice
and discipline can attain, and is quite
as good as the best in the world

Animal Sense and Brain power.

In individuals of the same species
extremes in size do bear some relation
TO mental power, usually as coincident
with deficiency. Very large dogs,
such as the Great Dane, the st. Ber-
nard fof the show bench). and the
mastiff, are seldom as intelligent as
those Of medium size, even when con-
stantly in their owners company. It
is possible that the 'Landseer" New
foundland is as intelligent as it is
courageous in aquatic feats. but re-
corded instances are wanting. So
also "lwarfed" dogs. this little crea-
lures bred to DO carried in muffs, or
as fancy pets, are often stunted in

than the heavy Clumber spaniels,
which weigh seventy pounds.
A little JERSEY or Kerry COW has
often twice the wits of large Short
horn or Hereford. But this is doubt
less because both the Jerseys and
Kerries have been in more intimate
relations with men. and have been
kent as pets and family friends for
very many generations-for how

commonly said to be "cleverer" than
horses. This is mainly because, ow-
ing to their smaller size. they are in
laily use in petty domestic work, and
so are in constant contact with human
beings. The London Spectator.

Relief Needed in Spain.

THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.

Happy Homes, Dialogue-A Chief Exc
cutive of the Land Of Steady Habits
Gives His Reason For Being Tota
Abstainer-The Force OF Example.
Dialogue for Two Girls.)
First Girl.
oh, how happy is the homestead
Where temperance fairy dwells!
All Is peaceful and harmonious
As the chime Of evening bef1s;
But where drink doth bind its victims,
In cruel deadly chain,
There is brawling, there is sorrow,
There is trouble, fear and pain.
Second Girl.
There the little children trsmble,
And the tiny feet are bare;
Every day there hangs the shadow
OF an ever-present care.
But the temperance home Is gladstone
AS the days Of golden spring,
For abstaining means rejoicing,
And the pledge doth blessing bring.
First Girl.
When the wages at the tavern
All for fiery drops are spent,
On the home there cometh darkness,
Nought is known of sweet content.
Wife and little ones are starving,
Illness, weakness, need increase
While the hard-earned wage is wasted
For the drink that endeth peace.
Second Girl.
But when all are pledged abstainers,
Happy is the home and bright;
Shadows fade away and vanish
In the dawn Of fairest light
In the Cupboard there is plenty,
Flow'rets wreathe the garden gay,
And the little ones are smiling,
All is merry as the May!
Firs. Girl
Oh, that drink may never darken
Home, sweet home," we love so we'll.
May the shining temperance fairy
In our midst forever dwell
Second Girl.
May our homes be homes of temeprance,
Witnessing to one and all
Blessings, beauty, Joy and brightness
All good gifts to temperance fall.
Both.
Drink we will refuse forever,
And wher'er our steps may roam,
We'll resolve through all life's changes,
Ours shall be temperance home
One and all be firm abstainers,
Keep the darksome cloud away;
Let your homes be bright with temperance
Free from harmful drink for aye
