The Chicago Record has this SUR
prising suggestion to make: No more
novel military idea has been suggested
in recent years than that OF transport
ing the Cuban army to the Philippines
and letting tie followers OF Gomez at
tend to the warriors Of Aguinaldo. Ten
thousand Cuban soldiers. 1t Is stated,
are ready to go on short notice, and
their services would be invaluable
Trained for years in exactly the same
sort of bush and guerilla warfare now
carried on by the Filipinos, strong and
hardy. bred in tropic climes, the men
who fought for Gomez and Garcia
could battle with the rebels In the
most forceful fashion. Two dimcuit

QUEENLY EVEN IN PRISON.
A Truly Pathetic Incident Of the Last
Days Of I1l-Fated Marie
AntOinette.

The author of Foreign Courts and
Foreign Homes" relates very pa
thetic story of Marie Antoinette, told
to her by an old man who had, when
a boy, during the days of the terror,
to take some water daily into the room
Of the unhappy queen. The boy did
not know the rank of the prisoner, az
she was spoken of as Veuve Capet, and
her daughter as Cheyenne Mariei The
first time he was gruffly told by his
uncle to put the pitcher down. On
entering the room he looked up and
saw a pale, cold, stern-looking woman,
with snow-white hair, standing bolt up
right, facing the three men and the boy,
as they came in. She started violently
when the boy entered, but said noth-
ing. No doubt he reminded her Of her
own unhappy son separated from her.
''Some childish instinct made the boy
reverently bend his head to her, and
II he had dared he would have doffed
his cap and bent his knee. In the
guardroom he asked who this Veuve
Capet was, and was told bad, wicked
woman, who had been the curse of
France. Constantly he carried the
pitcher to her, and one day, when his
uncle was more drunk than usual, and
not noticing him, he slipped three little
primroses, which he had in his hot lit-
tie hand, into hers. The queen took
them, hid them in her dress, and burst
into tears."-Longman's Magazine.

Uncle Sam AfOat.

In four years the United States will
have sf ,at twelve battleships, the equal,
if not the superior, of the same number
of any other power in the world. Four
of these are now in service-the Oregon,
Indiana, Iowa and Massachusetts,; the
others are in process.of construction and
in different degrees of completion.
Every one of the eight is more powerful
than that gallant chip, the Oregon, the
pride of the navy. OF these the Kear
sarge and Kentucky are nearir 9 compile
ton and will be in completion in several
months. The great improvement in
these ships is a reduction in the strength
of the main, and an increase in the
strength of the intermediate batteries.
1t is believed that the Alabama, the
Illinois and the Wisconsin will also be
in commission by the end of the year.
They are believed to be the most power
full ships in the navy. In them The
eight-inch guns have been displaced by
powerful set of rapid fire six-inch
guns, fourteen on each ship. These five
ships are escL 10 per cent. bigger than
the Oregon.
The Maine, the Ohio and the Missouri
will not be completed until 1902. They
represent tonnage 10 per cent. greater
than those of the Alabama type, and it
is believed that their effectiveness is 100
per cent greater than the Oregon. In
other words, the Ohio should be able to
hold her own with two Oregons. The
increasing development of the rapid
fire element is shown in them to a great
degree. They will be of greater speed
than any of our battleships, the con-
tracts calling for Is knots instead of 16
knots, as heretofore. The present
Congress will provide for three more
battleships, but even without them
Uncle Sam is entitled to a representa-
ton in the Cars peace commission

with the rest,
And didn't they look fine, that day, a.
marchin' four abreast,
With my boy James up near the front, as
handsome as could be,
And wavin' back a fond farewell to mother
and to me!
I vow my old knees trimbled so, when they
had all got by.
I had to jist sit down upon the curbstone
there and cry.
And now they're comm home agen! The
record that they won
Was sich as shows we still have men when
mems works to be done!
There wasn't one of 'em that flinched: each
Teller stood the test
Wherever they were sent they sailed right
in and done their best!
They didn't go away to play-they knowed
what was in store
But there's a grave somewhere. to-day.
down on the Cuban shore!
I guess that I'll not go to town to see the
boys come in;
I don't jist feel like mfxin' up In all that
crush and din!
There'll be enough to welcome them-to
cheer them when they come,
A-marchin' bravely to the time that's beat
upon the drum,
And the boys'n never notice-not one Of 'em
will care,
For the soldier that would miss me amt
a-goin' to be there!
