II foreign nations would become proficient with
the formidable guns OF modern warfare Lieutenant
Wilson recommends TO their Ministers the introduc-

the sunners Of hostile ships frequently pushed their

probably before the eager captains came within

vessels have figured out the problem which s to a.
rect the men who handle the hreech-loaders The
density or rarity of the atmosphere the prevalence
OF the wind the height Of the sea- are all taken into
consideration
Lieutenant Wilson contends that playing marbles
steadies the nerves of the prospective naval cadet
while he is poddng through the primary grades at
school The sport promotes spirit OF calculation
OF distances which II OF ncaculable value when hos

,.Spaiu will learn about six dozen lessons when
her feets have been snnihilated and her Ministers
re- compelled 70 sue for peace" said Lieutenant
Wilson. This game OF marbles ought to be encour-
nced everywhere Naval officers really believe that
the Youthful sport favors proficiency In the art OF
war You have often noticed a crowd Of boys gath

The Virginia Legislature has adj

llature. 1t spent vast stores OF thought
upon the ways and means OF reducing
State expenses, and then, in its culml'

pay for stump speech emitted by tho
Hon. Joe Bailey, OF Texas. We can
understand why legislature, forced tC
hear a speech of the Hon. Jos. Bailey
should vote itself double pay as com

punishment endured, but who can UNI
derstand why the Hon. Joe. Bailey
should receceive pay for a speech lie
saves money every time he makes
speech. II he were not perAiitted tC

doctors bills to pay and would probably
