surprised that American concerns Sc.

When Englishmen have visited this
country they have been astonished at
what they call the "pace" that the
American people live, but it does not
seem to have dawned on them thai
tie same push and hustle was to be

The course in naval architecture, at
the Annapolis Naval Academy, is
abandoned because of the failure of
the last Congress to make the neces-
sary appropriations for carrying it
on. The Naval Department now re-
ports that the courses of similar type,
recently founded at some American
colleges, are unsatisfactory, or wholly
prospective. Until these courses are
firmly established, tho cadet students
in naval architecture will be sent
abroad, as was the practice for many
years. Two will go to the University
of Glasgow, and two go to the Ecole
Polytechnique, in Paris. The other
two of the six students of the Con-
struction Corps will enter the line of
the navy. .-.e.

Both Nicaragua and Salvador Are i1
Favor of Annexation

Both Nicaragua and Salvador Are i1
Favor of Annexation.
The annexation of Nicaragua to the
United States is not new proposition.
1t has been suggested from time to
time for more than half century, and
in his last message to Congress Presi-
dent Zelaya took advanced grounds in
favor of such an arrangement. An ex-
tract from the document was printed
in these dispatches at the time. An
nexation would, Of course, settle the
canal problem and would give us a
very rich colony with natural resources
that are almost incompatible but have
lain undeveloped because of the politi-
cal disturbances that have continued
ever since independence was estab-
lished. There is no object in trying to
get ahead in Nicaragua because as soon
as planter shows signs of prosperity
he is set upon either by the Govern
ment or by revolutionary leaders for
whatever he can contribute to their
support The common people are in
telligent, docile and industrious, but
the higher classes make business of
politics and are fighting all the time
either to maintain or overthrow some
Government. Nicaragua would be a
troublesome colony for this reason.
Personal ambition overshadows every
thing else among the educated classes,
and the outs are always trying to over
throw the ms.
The little republic of Salvador, the
nextdoor neighbor of Nicaragua, once
annexed herself to the United States
and appointed commissioners to come
to Washington and close the arrange
ment. But before they started the
Government that sent them was over
thrown and the movement was abar-
doned. There has boen no encourage
ment offered the Nicaraguans from the
administration or any person in au-
thority, and no official opinion can be
obtained on the subject until the mat
ter is formally brought to the attention
OF the President. nt.-Chicago Record.

THE INVINClBLES,

There once were two knights full OF mettle
and merit,
Who joined in a league and maintained 1t

No task was so hard it could bafle theil

And one was Lean, and the other Twill.
Lean was tall, llthe-all wit, wisdom and
grace,
With slightly superior smile on his face
Twill was short, stout, red-hrired, bull
necied and bold
A terrible fellow whare once be took hold.
Twill, by himself, had been Soastful and
heady,
But tireless Lean kept him prudent and
While truly this latter, unyoked from his
brother,

other!
But take them ogether!-where'cr they
might 80,
Doubts, dangers and obstacles vanished
like snow;
From pigmy Too-lazy to strong-armed
DESPAIR
No foe could Withstand the invincible pair,
And surely without them the world would
stand still,
For masters OF Fate are Lean and I-will.

The idea has been prevalent for some
time that the typical English woman
is, above all things, domestic; and it
has been suggested that the pushing,
busting, fin de steele American woman
might proftably study her English
cousins. The American woman has
also proudly claimed that she was the
pioneer in women'g occupations and
that there are more trades and pro-
fessions open to women in America
than in any other country. A book
recently published in England proves,
however, that English women follow
diverse professions, more, in fact, than
do Americans. In that land there are
women architects, farmers, plumbers,
chemists, bankers, contractors, gar
deners, letter carriers, pilots and cab
drivers.

Where is this capturing of foreign
trade by American manufacturers
going to end? OF course, we sell steel
rails lower than any other country,
and when Egypt wants bridge to go
over the Nile the Yankee gets the con-
tract. But here comes the Canadian
Dry Goods Review and says American
manufaS Surers of silk and felt hats are
cutting out the English goods in the
Dominion. The United States shipped
to Canada in 1898 hats to the value of
1891, 76S, against S272, 132 in 1897,
whereas the importations from Great
Britain increased by less than $25, 600.
One fact about this development is
very significant. The Americans, we
are told, advertise extensively in
Canada; the British manufacturers moi
at all. What need to say more?

In Elkton Md, they held a queer
funeral last week. a cat belonging to
a wealthy man died, and he had made
a beautiful black coffin, covered with
cloth, studded with gold-headed nails
and finished with four silver handles
Then he dressed poor kitty in a black
shroud and put her in the coffin, where
she lay for two days for all her friends
to see and meow over. Then he had
four boys act as pallbearers, and they
had a regular cat funeral, and planted
flowers over pussy's grave. When the
cat was young. which was 10 years
ago, it was a great friend Of its mas
ter's little daughter, who died, and that
is why he thought so much of pussy

Perfumed pads for trunk trays and
compartments of the dresser have
proved so satisfactory in imparting
that delicate scent which women love
| that one woman has carried out the
scheme still further. She had been
in the habit of hanging sachets of her
favorite powder in her clothes closet,
but it did not seem 10 be as satisfac-
tory as the pads in The bureau. She
experimental by hanging sheets
around the wall and using liquid
scent, but that evaporated. Finally
she took out the pads from her trunk
and hung them ON the hooks in the
dress closet. Then she thought, "Why
not pad the closet?"
No sooner thought of tha- done.
Her best sdress closet is now uphol-
stored over all the walls aud ceiling.
She did it herself. The backing OF
the pads is cheesecloth. Then there

thlckly strewn with her favorite vio-
let sachet powder, and covering the
whole is q delicate shade of violet
China silk. Before fastening this lin
ing to the walls of the closet it was

baby ribbon, tied in bow knots.
The pads are bound all around the
edge with violet satin ribbon, having
loops at the upper edge to hang the
pads to the wardrobe hooks. These
bindings are not "sewed TO stay" at
the top, but may be easily ripped loose
in order to renew the powder at any
time. Pads on the ceiling aud above

headed tacks hidden under the ribbon
