Ice Broke the Spoil.

There is a curious little tale about
Captain Bagot, M. P. for South West.
moreland, which cannot fail to interest
those superstitiously inclined. It is said
that, some generations ago, q witch
cursed Levens Hall, the seat Of Captain
Bagot, and said that there would be nc
direct male heir to the estate as long al
the Kent-the river which runs through
the grounds-fowed. Such has indeed
been the case, until In 1895, when,
owing to the severe frost, the Kent was,
for a time, entirely frozen up, and a few
months afterward Mrs. Bagot presented
her husband with a little boy.-Londou

Armor for Our Ships.

In the August St. Nicholas there is an
article on ::Big Guns and Armor of Our
Navy" written by E. B. Rogers, U. S. N.
Mr.. Rogers says
Our armor is the best in the world. II
is made so by the genius of an American
named Harvey, who invented a process
for hardening its surface, so that the
plates of "Harveyized steel, eighteen
inches thick, which are now on the sides
of our great battleships, are believed to
be impenetrable by any gun in existence.
When armor is tested, a plate is bolted
to a massive structure of oak, and several
shots are fired at it from a distance of
about two hundred yards. When the
gun is fired everybody must " take cover
in the bomb-proofs; for when the projec-
tile strikes the hard face of the plate it
sometimes breaks into a thousand pieces,
and these, with small pieces of the plate,
produce a rain of steel which is very dan
gerous.
All these things go on and areedone
that our country may be able to bear
herself against her enemies in a manner
fitting her strength and her place among
the nations of the world.

MAJOR WARNER THINKS 1T IS WAR.

Says President Mckinley is the Cool
est Nam In Washington.
KANSAS CITY. March 26.-Major William
Warner. the newly appointed United States
district attorney, returned from Washington
today.
II do not now see," he declared, "how war
is to be avoided. No one who realizes the
terrible effects Of war wants war for wars
cake. yet no one who respects the honor Of
his country would have 1t tarnished to avoid
war. One thing is certain. the American
people are determined that the Spanish gov
ernment shall not much longer starve the
defenseless Cubans. That is settled
1T was reported here that the president
Is breaking down, snd rs on the point of
nervous collapse"
To this suggestion Major Warner re-
sponded: II saw the president three times
while in Washington. AS to his being ex-
cited and worn out 1t Is all bosh. There Is
no cooler man in Washington today than
President Mckinley. l never saw him look
ing better, and anyone who talks to him on
the Cuban matter will come away satisfied
that the nations honor Is cafe in his hands.
He will not necessarily rush the nation into
war. but there Is no man in the country
who will shrink from 1t less than he II 1t
becomes a necessity"
