MR. M. s. STYvEsANT, of St. Louis, suggests that instead of this nation building big and expensive battleships, it would be cheaper to build monitors for the protection of our seaeoast, and leave our cruisers, in the event of war, to infict all the damage they can to an enemy. Ac- eording to Mr. Styvesant, fortified coasts with a few monitors to pro- tect our harbors, would make this nation impregnable to foreign at. tack, while our fleet cruisers could destroy the commerce of an enemy and cause it to sue for peace. A monitor costs s1, 300, ,OOO, fully equip ped, and can be built in year, says MT. Styvesant, while battleship costs $5,000, GOO and requires three years to build and is then out of date when completed. The GRAPHIC does not pretend to be an expert or an authority on naval affa irs, but MT. Styvesant's suggestions seem to us to be very plausible and prac- ticable. The battleship is very expensive thing to have, and when one can be "blown up in night, its

with eager eyes at-Mme. Moniche had
seen them wholesome rent rolls, bills

who stood hesitating on the threshold,

plainly the iron safe, the heavy doors
standing open, the keys hanging from
the lock, and NJ. Revere in his dressing
gown, the official papers, yellow and
blue, others bearing seals and ribbon,
lying there before him. He seemed in
a bad humor, but said nothing. Not a
word.
And the other one?'
The other man was as pale as M. Ro-
we're. He resembled him, moreover He
was, perhaps, relative. Mime. Moniche
had noticed the expression with which
he contemplated those papers and the
fierce glance which he cast at her when
she pushed open the door without know
ing what sight awaited her. She had
gone down stairs. but she did not at
once tell her husband about what she
had seen. 1t was some time afterward.
The individual had come again. He re-
manned closeted with NJ. Revere for
some hours. The sick man was lying on
the lounge. The FORTRESS had heard
them through the door talking in low
tones. She did not know what they
said. She could hear only murmur,
and she had very good ears, too, but she
heard only confused sounds, not one
plain word. When, however, the visitor
was going away she heard Revere say

Did the dead man possess a secret
which weighed heavily upon him and
which he shared with that other? And

Deaths BetrothaI.

A few years ago New York newspaper
conducted all open discussion upon the
topic: IS Marriage a Failure ?" The
answer is easy and upon the surface. Where
there is mutual love and respect if there is
also health. marriage is success. When
health is left out, even the most ardent love
does not count, and marriage is invariably
failure.
Modern science has cried the warning
so often that all should realize the dangers
of wedlock to people i'll ill-health. In a
case of this kind death turks on every side
lin the kiss of betrothal and the caress of
the honeymoon. The man who is suffering
from ill-health is physical bankrupt, and
has no right to condemn a woman to be his
nurse for life and the mother of babes that
| inherit his physical weakness. DR.. Pierce's
