PLEASED WITH THE HOLLAND.
New Submarine Boat In Bay
at New York.

With United States naval officers on
board directing ana controlling its
movements, the submarine boat Hol-
land was put to an official test in the
lower bay at New York the other day
before the naval board of inspectors and
survey from Washington, with view
TO the purchase of the boat by the gov
eminent.
For the first time the boat was direct
ed by government officers, and the in
spection was the first made by all the
members of the board, among whom
was Capt Evans, commander of the
battle ship Iowa,
Fighting bob examined the
strange maneuyeTs Of the wonderful
little craft with a critical eye, and
seemed pleased when the inspection
was ended. for the test was the most
successful that has yet been made with
the Holland.
She first discharged a 11-foot torpedo
in the harbor, then went to sea and
went through remarkable pro-
gramme-diving, plunging under, and
out of water like porpoise, running at
full speed under the surface and re-
versing swiftly while submerged.
Lieut.. w. ]. Sears. inspector Of ord
nance in the navy, who arranged the
torpedo test, said the official trial of
the boat had been very successful.

A delicate child should not be fed

durance and could digest and cast
off d greater amount Of food. The
delicate child must have time tn
grow, and while he needs both fuel
ana muscle food for development it
must be given IN small Quantities
in fact, just enough for him to di-
gest ana assimilate, More than this
would clog the machinery aud prob
ably upset the child. Do not change
the food at every suggestion. Seek
out and consult sensible physician,
and follow carefully his instruc ions.
The child born in II weak physical
condition is likely to take twice as
long to walk and to talk as an ordI-
nary healthy child. So if your child
at 2 years old does not walk do not
be discouraged, but give him long
hours of sleep, simple, easily diger-

a DREAM OF CHRISTMAS BELLS.
By Will r. Hale.

learning wistful through the distance,
long-lost comrades of the Past
As the Christmas nears hail you in a
love that's still steadfast.
For last night dreamed my footsteps
had again stray'd back to you,
And you met me with your smiles as
ever you were wont tO do.
Out above the brooding hills | saw the
red streaRs Of the morn,
like rose broider'd paths to Heaven
from wilderness fOrlorn;
In the village streets | fingered where
as children we had play'd,
When we thought the hilltops bounded
all the world that God had made;
And we grasped and clasped moment
rs before there came farewell S,
While we heard
The bells a-ringing
Heard the gladstone Christmas bells.
Long-hush'd voices, dear old comrades,
that within my dream would rise,
Sounded as though horn of music drift
ing down from Paradise;
Thoughts of early sweethearts' greet
ings in the glad old-fashion'd way
Brought some tears for dreams that
perish'd in our youthhood's tlower'd
May
Friends who'd suffer'd seem'd drawn
closer unto me than they had been,-
For the hearts that have their SORROWS
temper judgement on al men;
As about gone days we chatted and
among change ways we trod,
Earth seemed really drawn up some
how just little nearer God.
And I'd like to be in person where each
old.time comrade dwells
While the Lords
Good Wills a-ringing
In the gladstone Christmas bells!

something more. The dainty wo-
man is sweet and charming on the

ordinary occasion she has &C.
CURED the habit.
She brushes her hair religiously
every night-not spasmodically for a
week or twO-and so it acquires a
rare glossiness and smOothness. Her
hot bath at night is Il regular affair,
dating back years to its beginning,
and consequently her complexion
always preserves its freshness. Her
clothes always lie in sweet-smelling
sachets, so that the faint elusive
fragrance which seems part of her
personality can no more be missing
when she appears in dressing gown
and slippers than when she comes
out robed for a reception.-Cincin-

1t has not been the fashion for
girls to wear earrings for great
many years past, anu most of them
have never had their ears pierced.
The graudmothers and aunts, moth
ers and older sisters, have even
forced promises from them not to
have holes made in their ears for
the sake OF vanity, pleading and
arguing that they might as well
wear rings III their noses as well as
their ears. But Dame Fashion holds
a very powerful sway over young
women of all ages, and she says,
Girls, you must have your ears
pierced and you must wear long
dropping earrings as your grand
mothers did, who now cry me down
and say nay" so the girls are
obeying and it does look funny to
see them with their ears tied up
with bits of string, like little
girls long ago. The latest fad in
earrings is succession of precious
stones, five or six generally, hung
from tiny hoops of gold and gradu-
ting from a very small stone which
fits close against the ear to larger
ones, says Harper's Bazaar.
