WORK OF THE VESUVIUS.

If + Possible That Dynamite Cruisers MAY
supptant Monitor and Torpedo Boats.
The effective work of the dynamite
cruiser Vesayius in the operations at
Santiago is apt to have marked infu.
4nce upon European plans for future
naval construction. For five success
i've nights this stealthy destroyer APP
preached within a few hundred yards
of the MORO battery and fired few
shells, and quietly slipped away with
out detection from the enemy. With
out noise or smoke or flash she hurls
her missiles Of death into the midst Of
the Spanish Notifications. The explO-
sion of $50 pounds of dynamite in one
of the Spanish forts or dangerously
close to it is the first intimation of the
presence Of the Vesuyius.
This is murderous warfare-but war
Is murder and nothing else. 1t is the
presence Of such noiseless and destruc-
tive weapons Of marine warfare that
deters nations from going to war.
They are the peaCemakers of the sea.
With the appearance of this new pro-
duct Of Yankee inventive genius as a
candidate for the favor of naval CON
struction boards there is certain to be
revival of the discussion as to the
value Of torpedo boats and monitors in
modern naya. warfare. Admiral Sir
John COlOmb of the British navy re-
Gently declared that call through this
war what was expected by the ad-
yanCed school of naval thinkers and a
thing upon which much of the British
policy has been founded, has been con-
splcuous by its absence. Admiral
Sampson has never used his torpedo
boats as it was expected they would be
used" In other words, in war which
seems to have been peculiarly adapted
Tor a splendid test of torpedo boats
they have not been effectively en-
plOyed at all.
A naval officer writing in recent is
sue of the Army and Navy Journal,
expresses the opinion that the actual
experience of the four monitors which
were with SIMPSONS feet in it's pur-
suit OF CerVera demonstrates that the
modern monitor, even OF the most
powerful type, is worthless for general
Seagoing and fighting service. 1t is
claimed that the gunnery of the Ter
ror and Amphitrite at the lombard
ment Of San Juan was very defective
because a moderately heavy sea was
running at the time, and the monitor
Is most unstable gun platform under
such conditions
IL Is barely possible that the d ma
mite cruiser of the Vesuvius class will
SuPpIant both the torpedo boat and
Vhe monitor in future naval arma.

Clothes and the Man.

It is not true that "the tailor makes
the gentleman" but it is true that
gentleman cannot safely neglect the
tailor's services il he wishes people In
general to take him for what he is. A
gentleman prominent in Canadian po-
litical life was somewhat too careless
in this respect. This statesman was
once on his way to call upon friend
in Quebec and stopped an freshman III
the street to inquire the way.
"Can you tell me where MIR. Hunter
lives?" no asked.
"It's no use your going there. was
the unexpected reply.
"But do you know where he lives?
"Faith and / do, but it's no use 60
ing there.
The inquirer began to get angry.

want to know where Mr.. Hunter lives. "
"Oh, we'll, he lives down that street
yonder, the first house round the cor
ner, but / tell you it's no use your go
ing there, for I've just been there my
self, and he's already got man.. T"

"Eow many times do you suppose

"Then of cours there can be no objec-
lions on the part Of Spain to our sending o
naval vessel to that port, where everything
Is SO calm and peaceful, and whore you ask
us to extend our trader"
DE LONE Was Trapped.
Minister Dupuy de LONE was caught In
a trap, and he knew IL In a moment. But
it was too late to back out.
Secretary Long Immediately went over
10 the White House to sec tho president.
This was at / o'clock. Assistant Score
tary Day was sent for. At II 80 the order
which sent the Maine steaming to Havana
was put on the telegraph wires before
noon. Next morning the secretary OF the
navy learned that the Maine was In liza
vana, and all was quiet.
That night, for the first time in two
weeks, the president and his cabinet minis
tiers SLEPT without lear they might be reused
to receive word that rioting had broken
out In Havana and that Americans were
in danger, with the country asking: why
are our waTships a hundred miles away
What did We build those ships for unless IL
was to protect American citizens!"
This was precisely the significance OF
the dispatch of the Maine to Havana. In
itself the episode had no other meaning
But we have not yet heard the last OF the
Cuban problem in Washington.

Treatment For Rheumatism.

The Russian peasants, more especial
" those residing in the neighborhood
Of Moscow, have peculiar and origi-
nal method of treating themselves for
that bane of mankind, rheumatism.
Many cures, even in very bad cases, are,
it is claimed, effected by making the
patient take ant baths.
The manner of preparing these baths
ia as follows: An anthill is sought, and
when found sack is filled with ants,
ants eggs, and, if it be considered nec-
essary, a certain quantity Of the earth
which composes the hill. The sack is
then closed Theoretically and carried to
the home of the sufferer. A warm bath
is already prepared here, and the sack
is plunged bodily into the hot water.
Soon this latter begins to give of Pc
culiar pungent odor, characteristic OF
formic acid. The bath is now ready FOL
the patients immersion. The action OF
the bath on the skin is one of intense
irritation, and the result seems to be
drawing out of the evil, and the conse
quent disappearance of the rheumatic
pains.
1t is advisable for any one who may
be tempted to try this remedy to b.
careful not to remain too long in the an
bath, as the consequences might be
total disorganization of the skin, which
would peel off, due to the violent actor
of the acid.-New York Commercial.

An Afghan Wife.

Although on Afghan woman Is supposed
to exist entirely for the benefit OF her lord
and master, she is not always as meek as
might be expected under these circum-
stances.
When a man has many wives, one par

Mt n time, but it Is not considered proper
for him to stay away from her as long as
he feels Inclined particularly If she DO oil

He had neglected to visit his august
wife for 30 days, and when at last he did

Feeling like a schoolboy who has failed IN

of any irritable feelings or sinister designs.
She quietly with her fingers, OF counsel

the operation than she raised her weapon

member OF the Methodist church, one
OF the ablest LAWYERS and pnrest MT n
IN the State. He is rarely heard
from In the public press and shuns

writes now because he Is panied that

their church, and because he feels it
Co be duty to show the moral
wrong committed by these men.
They have shown themselves Ln-
worthy to hold positions of trust

shadow of doubt that when all is
known they will be given the chance,
with proper pressure, to resign their
official positions.
Not a dollar OF the Justly due
money, which was obtained by de
ception, will be used by the church,
Stahlman will be prosecuted if there
is any law to punish his lying, and
Barbee and Smith will retire as
trusted agents of the church. The
Methodist church will not accept its
own when tainted with deception.
