ARMY AND NAVY TITLES.

Names by which Ohioers and tho Different
Sections Of Army and Navy are Known.
When everybody is interested in the
movements of the army and navy, the
average reader is not unlikely to be-
come confused with the multiplicity OF
terms and titles employed in the news
papers He may make the mistake,
for instance, Of thinking that a cap
tain in the navy is the equal in rank of
of a captain in the infantry, or that
a captain in the infantry is a bigger
man than a naval lieutenant. He may
be interested to know that there are
two kinds of squadrons, one which
runs on land and one which travels
on the water, that a regiment Of artil-
lery consists of IL batteries of six guns
each, and that a regiment of cavalry
Is composed Of IL troops, two or more

The oars exported to European coun-
tries are. chiefly of lengths from ten
feet upward Oars of shorter lengths
they supply themselves. To Australia
the United States send oars of all
lengths, and the same is true of South
Africa. Up and down the coast of
South America none but American
oars are used, and in any harbor In
the world where a man is seen rowing
a boat, in China, Japan, anywhere. il
is more than likely that he is pulling
with American oars.

MADELINE JOYCE.

Strawberries! Strawberries! Very
fine and fresh-lady, please buy"
But Madeline Joyce shook her head.
"No-I do not want any, child"
And the strawberry girl passed on.
Madeline gazed after her with sad
violet-gray eyes.
Poor and proudi proud and poor!"
she murmured to herself. 20, my Godi
why was l not yonder ragged straw
berry girl or even the child who
sweeps the crossings, and earns an
honest penny now and then? But now

For her younger sister had come
noiselessly In.
"The bill from the bakers, Made

Another bill! Did you tell the man
we had no money, Beatrice?"
What would have been the use,
Maddy? OF course l did not tell him"
And, mamma?"
"She does not know-she is reading
In the parlor; she will not let me mend
the tablecloth; she says it is not work
for ladies. o, Maddy, what shall we
do?"
Madeline arose and began pacing
impatiently up and down the room.
"Hush!" she cried, there is a ring
at the bell. 1t is Mrs. Benjamin again.
Go tell her l am ngaged-busy-go
out-anything you please No-stay!
Perhaps l had better see her after ALL"
And Madeline went down stairs to
where Mrs. Joyce sat in faded silk and
darned lace, with white, wasted hands,
folded in her lap, and an embroidered
ottoman under her feet.
1T is like a dream" Madeline said
to herself. And to think that there is
nothing in the house for dinner Per-
haps Mrs. Benjamin will ask mamma
to dine, and Bee and can send out for
half a pound of crackers. We can eat
anything!"
And through her dlsjointed medita-
tions, her mothers SOFT sweet voice
sounded
"To the White Mountains? With
you? My dear Mrs. Benjamin, you are
very kind, am sure, and Maddy must
use her own discretion about accepting
Do you hear, darling? Mrs. Benjamin
wants you to accompany her to the
mountains as soon as she has secured a
nursery governess for the dear little
boys. l am sure ii would be a charm
ing opportunity for you to see a little

preclude me from giving you much
variety"
Madeline looked up with a sudden
glitter in her eyes.
"a nursery governess? | think I
know of some one, Mrs. Benjamin,
who would suit you, if-if your terms
are at all liberal"
"Three hundred a year and ali ex-

Madeline?"
"a young lady-a friend of mine.
When do you want her?"
AT once; and then we can be off

"Oh, of course-of course. That is, il

Spectacles for horses have been pat
ented by an inventor, and are being
used with considerable success. Their
object is not so much to magnify OBJ
jects as to make the ground in front OF
the horse appear nearer 60 his head
than 1t really is. The result is con-
tinual high stepping, which, after a
while, becomes natural, and gives to a
horse an aristocratie gait, which he
will retain for many years.
