specifications call for speed of not less than twenty-three knots on the full-power trial under natural draught; the horse power to be SO,QOO. This speed is remarkable in view of the fact that there is to be 1,250 tons of coal on board, and that the vessel Is to have 8 deep belt of specially hardened nickel steel of six inches in thickness, and extending from ram to stern. In addi- ton she will have protected decks and two rows of breakers along and over the machinery spaces, the maximum coal capacity being 2,5Oo tons. This is 800 tons less than the capacity of the Powerful and Terrible. The new crut- ser which Is described as an eXperi- mental one, will also be strong in gun fire. She will have two 9.2-inch 22-ton guns, firing 3S0-pound shot, with muzzle energy of 1Oe.10 tons. One of these will be placed on the forecastle, as in the Powerful; put there Will pc no poop. This is to save weight. The vessel will be 800 feet long between perpendiculars, Il feet beam, 26 feet draught, and 14100 tons displacement. She will be stronger in rapid-fring guns than the Powerful class. These guns will number sixteen, each firing 100-pound shot, and the number of shots fired per minute is to be 12S.
 If England is going to continue to be our great and good friend, her new warships will be very interesting to us. Of course we are great, free and un- conquerable, but a brother with the biggest navy in the world Is cheering relative.

 Their horses are picketed leagues away, Their saberS are on the nail; They have taken the rifle at break of day, They have taken the narrow trail The shimmering blade of the bayonet Is red in the dawning sun; Twill burn with a ruddier crimson yet Or ever the work is done Now, why do the scavenger graye-crabs go A-cluttering down the dell" 70, ask of the vulture lowering low;
 It may be that he can tell. ''Is wonder the gleam of mountain stream Mid boscage, creeper and root" Quick! drop ye down in the jungle brown And cuddle your stock and shoot!' The hunters stripped to the cartridge belt And stalked in the seething mage | The Indian fighters crawled and knelt And pulled at the rifle blaze Kentucky fought with a grim delight
 And Texas with his soul; But the football ruSher reared his height And plunged for the deadly goal. They yelled dlsdain of the driving rain Of steel that drilled and tore? If the wounded sobbed 1t was not for pain, But that they could fight no more. Then, volieying low at the hidden foe. They rushed h.m--two to ten; They were trained in the rule of an iron

 And they were their colonel's men. From thicket to thicket and glade to glade, And out to the jungle'S marge. They harried him back OCT clotted track And formed for the final charge. Hark to the swell of the rebel yell, The bugle calm and clear The "uh-luh luh- loo of the tameess Sioux And the roar of the Saxon cheer!

ercise Jurisdiction over the entire terri tory. Outside the pass the Afridis are to manage their own affairs, but they are to deal only with the British gov ernment. A railroad will be built through the pass, if necessary The al lowances, hitherto paid to the tribes, will be continued, but will be stopped on the first indications of any miscon- duct against the British or their allies, The Afridis, who were represented very fully, accepted these terms readily and with apparent frankness, making no protest against either forts or railroad, but asking for compensation in the case of any occupation of cultivated land. Their demand for the surrender of the women who had fled from them into British territory was refused, but they were told that their fugitive head men might return and would not be mo- lested The settlement seems to be en- tirely friendly, and is expected to be permanent.

The champion reader of the goose s breastbone in the state of Hlaine is said to be Ezekiel Bonzy of fc,tiand Alr Bonzy has made a study fl it. and has literally looked into the matter profoundly. According to him, the goose bone is white at the end for the first time in eight years, and is very wide and very white all over it's surface and has deep ruts and fluctuations, that lay before MT Bonzy a panoramic view of the coming winter that should make us fairly shiver in our beds. As read by Bonzy the 1908 fashion in goose bones indicates the all-firedest, rip-snortin' cavortin', up and down the state. bury 'em-deep winter that ever happened since Old Boreas first came down the pike in Maine. There is to be a snow storm in November that is to tom { stay and keep open ilou5e until spring. It is to he followed by others that will arrive frequently and all put up at the same place. Fences are to be buried; chimney-pots are to be in dan ger; electric trolley poles will have to be dug out, and zero weather will hang around the premises like cat round cook stove. So far as MT. BonZy can judge from the internal revelations of the goose, there will be six weeks of s,edding in March; no May day until the middle of June, and no Fourth of July until the middle of August Fur mittens will be worth nine dollars pair and we shall have to chop up onr hot coffee in the morning and ear it with two-tined fork.-Lewston (Me.l Journal.

It was not long after their attention had been called to 1t that they all noticed the same thing, and, strange to say, noticed it all the more forcibly a week later Several f the German tars be anne aware of the fact that they were filling out their clothes to much greater extent than when they shipped. Many othe,s, ss days went by, became abnormally stout, in vast contrast to the former slim appearance which many of them presented before the land was left. One man gained, it is said, twenty-five pounds. Others were affected to less extent. But the aggregate weight put on by the entire crew was little less than four hundred pounds. D
 Several of the sailors are known here, and they are said to be scarcely recog- nizable when contrssted with the cid days. The entire sudden tak'ng on of avoirdupois is attributed to vapor, which, generated by the action of the sun on the casks, was inhaled by the seamen as they slept, and acted in pre- cisely the same manner which 1t does when given as tonic in prescrip- tion.

MORE W4RSHIPS FOR ENGLAND

Britannia knows that if she contin- ues to rule the wave she must have more and better warships than others who would like to rule the wave have. So she is all the time adding to her fleets. The British Admiralty has just asked Clyde shipbuilders to submit ten ders for the immediate construction of four new battleships, one first-class cruiser, and twelve torpedo-b boat de- stroyers.

An interesting feature of the report of the fourth assistant postmaster gen. eral is the table showing the amount spent per capita annually in the use of the mails by the people of the various States. This sum ranges from $230 in Massachusetts and $2.27 in New York down to $025 in South Carolina and $0.34 in Mississippi. The negroes in the South explain the ore extreme and ex- tensive business correspondence &C., counts in part no doubt for the other extreme. Another noteworthy compar- ison in the report shows how the in- crease in the number of postoffices has kept ahead of the increase in popula- tion. In 1900, for example, there were 9O3 offices serving 5,31O,0O0 persons, or 5.SS0 persons to an office. That average number of persons has decreased de- cade by decade in spite of a population now estimated at 75,OO0,O until the 73,- 570 offices accommodate on the average 1,019 persons each.

 The exquisite embroidered nets now in the market make the heart of the average woman ache. She says to her. self that a gown of such is a wicked extravaganza for any but the richest folk, that the lining of such material must be of the very best satin or silk that-well, there! She just can't have it! That is sensible talk, as a rule, but these high class nets and embroiderei robes deserve consideration. They are really fine. That is, the gold thread or beading is of the best, beads or span gles are set on by hand, usually with gold or metal thread which does not cut and the net is silk.

Consul Taylor of Glasgow writes of the contest between Philadelphia iron firm and the local firms for furnishing iron pipings for the City of Glasgow. The bid of the American firm was low er than any other, but an excuse was found that their bid was on twelve-foot piping instead of nine, as advertised. All bids were rejected and new ones so- licited. Again the Philadelphia firm was the lowest bidder. They were giv- en three-sevenths of the contract and a Glasgow firm four-sevenths, In the discussion the fact was brought out that the Philadelphia firm paid it's men better wages, but that these men pro- duced 25 per cent. more in the same time than the Glasgow workmen, which made it possible for the foreigners, 5000 miles away, to lay their goods down in Glasgow at less price than the local firms could quote.

The Missouri State board of agricul- ture has drafted bill for road law in Missouri. It provides for laying of the various counties into road districts of not less than fifty-four square miles each, and the appointment of three su- pervisors or commissioners in each dis trict to look after the improvement of the roads in that territory. It also pro- vides that poll tax of s150 be levied and collected annually from every male inhabitant in said district over the age of 21, to be paid to the county collector as other taxes and turned over to the three commissioners of each district to be used in connection with other taxes in improving the public roads and building bridges that cost less than $100.

There is one flower says writer in a London paper, which has apparent ly been overlooked by Americans in their search for a suitable floral en- blem, which, I think, is worthy of their attention. I refer to that of the tobacco plant (nicotiana) in it's many varieties It is handsome; the plant is, I believe, indigenous to America, and it's importance, as the solace of the human race, is indisputable. But it's claims to selection by Americans are the greater when they consider that this flower will serve to perpetuate, in years to come, the memories of their recent exploits in Cuba and Manila"
