was the value of a navy. and
= the United States Government
has not been slow to take ad-
vantage Of the knowledge that it OBJ
tanned by this experience in actual war
fare. Lord Brassey in his review of the
late unpIeasantness emphasize the
fact that all the United States needed
was more good ships to have an ideal
navy. for no question could be raised
as to the ability of the men engaged in
her sea service.
Although he was one of the first per
sons of note to express this opinion, the
fact that our navy was not in a COndi-
tiOn TO cope with a powerful and we'll
drilled force had long been known to
the naval authorities Of this country,
but the trouble had been TO persuade
Congress to make the appropriation
necessary TO carry out the plans that
had been devised.
When the war came, however, econ
omy in this particular branch Of the
service was no longer possible and
when the war had ended the people had
learned such a lesson that they were
willing TO spend money in the improve
ment Of their arnored vessels. They
had learned that great battles are often
fought on the sea, and that to win these
battles good men are not all that are
needed. Good ships must be provided,
and they are now working to provide
these ships just as quick as possible.
Chief Constructor HichbOrn, in his
last report, presented a few weeks ago.
gave a most encouraging account of
the manner in which his work is being
carried out. He explained that the
Kearsarge had advanced 81 per cent to-
ward completion, the Kentucky ~ per
cent and the Illinois 6S per cent Ihe
Alabama is 88 per cent finished and the
new Maine 8 per cent. The Wisconsin
stands at 73 per cent. the ONO at II
per cent and sheathed cruiser Albany.
which is being built in England, at 81
per cent. The monitors are set down at
from to Y per cent and the torpedo
boats vary from 81 per cent, in the case
of the Dahlgren, to almost no per cent.
The training ship Chesapeake Is placed
at IS per cent and the submarine boat
Plunger at 50 per cent.
Except among naval men VINO nave
been watching the progress Of this new
navy with great interest, there are few
persons who realize that there are Tor
ty-eight WarShipS now under construc-
ton for the United States. for which
the aggregate cost for hull and machin-
cry alone is not less than S33. 600.
When equipped and ready for service
these vessels viii represent an eXpend1-
ture Of not less and probably much

in the world; sixteen are torpedo boat
destroyers, with an average speed Of
twenty-nine knots; eighteen are torpe-
do boats; one is sister cruiser to the
New Orleans, and four are heavy har-
Dor defense monitors.
The greatest indications Of the ad-
vancement that has been made in the
construction of fighting ships may be
seen in the Maine, the Ohio and the
Missouri In these remarkably fine
vessels the constructors will take ad-

Dress suits for Boys.

In some families the sons. after they
reach their eighth birthday, are re-
quired to dress for dinner every night
This does not mean that they are
made merely to wash their faces and
hands and to put on a clean blouse and
sailor suit, but that they are expected
to make a careful toilet AMI 10 appear
in the dining-room in evening dress, a
short dinner coat being the proper
thing. This is fine fashion, and
mothers who know say that their
small boys like it. do you know, F"
said one mother, that every boy
whose parents can afford dress suit
for him should provide it and make
him put it on every evening. That's
good training for boy. Nothing is
better for him than to get into the
habit of dressing up, so to speak, and
then when he is grown he will not
make an everlasting fuss about it, as
many men do. I've often wondered
whether laziness or pure Clssedness
was at the bottom of the way some
men act about putting on their even
ing clothes, and I've about decided
that it is six of one and half a dozen of
the other."-New York Sun.

=o,ssy,s Temperament.

Louis Vain, the famous cat painter,
nrofesses to believe that a cat owned
by a woman is the mirror Of its mis-
tress's temperament. He says that if
q cat that has been constantly with its
mistress is suddenly removed from her
society the creature will show the
characteristics madam has displayed.
If she has been snappish, pussy will
scratch: if she has been suiky, pussy
will sulk. too. If this were really true,
II would pay prosectiye husband to
steal fine eat of his lady love before
taking the fatal matrimonial step As
the cat is about the most independent
creature alive, one can't belp being
skeptical of Mr.. Wain's theory.
