The best news that has come out OF
the East for n long time is that which
tells of the safety of the Oregon. The
Oregon is more than II battlcship to
the American people. She represents
one Of our ideals. She has seemed tc
be typical of our aspirations TO be
good, and strong, and worthy. She
has taken human aspect to most of
us, and the notion that she could he
lost by some infortuitous chance with
out accomplishing the mission she
was sent out to accomplish was intol'
cradle. If the Oregon Is ever to go we
want her to go in one of two ways
only. She must either live out her al
lotted span and die of old age as full
of honor as of years, having served
her purpose and done her duty well, or
she must go down in II fight with her
flag waving proudly above her, defiant,
and to the last to be reverenced for her
strength and for the full measure of
her duty done.
To batter her life out upon rock,
useless and impotent, is no proper fate
for this vessel, and when in future
days she Is manned care should be
taken that those who have her in
charge shall be chosen from among
those who consider not only her honor
and safety and general welfare, but
the pride of the landlubher in the ship
we all love so well.-Harper's Weekly.

Tho Needs of Chinn.

Here is the key to the whole situn
lantic. The fundamental need Cf China
Is administrative reform, and this can
be accomplished only under foreign
compulsion and supervision. without
It, the political integrity of China cah'
not be maintained, nor can foreign
trade largely increase. We cannot rea'
sonably expect great increase in the
imports of China without n proper
tionate increase in her exports. We
must look principally to the eXploitn
ton of her mineral resources under
foreign direction for the needed in
crease in her exports, and this can
only be done through the agency OF
railroads, which cannot be built AMI
successfully operated except under
conditions of political security which
do not now exist. The requisite secu'
rity for foreign enterprise in China can
be attained only by means of drastic
administrative reforms initiated from
without. The Government at Pekin
does not desire reforms. and it's ten
IRE is so insecure that 1t could not in
troduce them If it desired. The man
darins cannot he expected to destroy Il
system upon which they thrive, and
the people ut large are ignorant, indif'
ferent unpatriotic, and without any
inherited capacity for concerted politi'
cal action. The decentralization of
the political system has destroyed all
national feeling.

The LEE or BIG GUNS.
Admiral o'NeiIl Says THAI Hundred
shota Ia Far From Iieing tho LiInIl.

Shots IL Far From Being the Limit.
There have been some interesting
and mysterious stories In circulation
about the short lives of the big guns
that are used on our battleships and
coast Notifications. One of the yarns
most frequently told is that the thir-
teen.inch gun. which carries ton of
metal for twelve or fifteen miles. can
only be fired 100 times with safety, be
cause the Tremendously pressure destroys
the cohesive power of the metal and
thus wcakeps 1t, and renders 1t liable
TO explode. These stories have got
into books, and the '100-firing fallacy'
is accepted by some of the ablcst au'
thorites on ordnance. The big Krupp
gun at the Worlds Fair In Chicago
was an object of even greater interest.
when visitors were told that 1t had
been fired sixteen times and couldn't
be fired again without danger Of explo.
sion because the metal of which II is
made had become "nervclcss.'
Admiral O'Neill, Chief of Ordnance
of the Navy Department, says this is
all humbug. THE only damage suf-
fered by the big guns from frequent
firing is the wearing out of the rifle
grooves" he says, "and that is easily
repaired. The gun can either he riflcd
over again or IL can be 'tubed'-that is,
a rfleu tube can he fitted into the bore,
ms is frequently done in England, and
the gun Is as good as new.
"There is no such thing as n gun get.
ting nervelcss." continued the Admir-.
al. "The metal of which it is made is
not injured by firing. Some of our
guns have been fired 100 times with
out showing any injury or Wear. We
do not know how long they will last,
except that the rifing has 10 be re.
newed when It is worn out, but we
! have never had gun wear out in our
! navy, and therefore cannot speak from
experience, and many of our guns have
| been fred several hundred tines
The ordnance experts of the army
estimate that the twelve-inch guns on
| the coast Notifications can be fired 200
times without being refined but this
is only speculation. They hare never
! had any experience in that line. None
of the big guns belonging to the United
| States has ever worn out. -- Chicago

ENGLISH PEERAGE
Divided Into Dukes, Marquises, Earis,
visoounts and Barons.

81 am always asked lot OF ques-
tions about the peerage," said A. L.
Jameson, of London, at the Waldorf
Astoria, to a New York Tribune man,
whenever l am in America. One
thing that seems especially to bother
you people is that while house of
lords exists nevertheless lords. earls
and even marquises are to be found
among members of the house of com
mons. This comes about from the So
called courtesy titles borne by eldest
sons and heirs. For example, take the
case of the Marquis of Lorne, now
ninth Duke OF Argyll who married the
Princess Louise. lie bore the title OF
marquis during his fathers life by
courtesy. The peerage is divided in
to dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts
and barons, and the spiritual peerage
into archbshops and bishops. The title
duke is very old. Hannibal was called
Duke OF Carthage The Doge of Ven
Ice was duke. A duke is addressed
as His Grace and Most Noble and by
the crown as our right trusty and
right entirely beloved cousin Mar
uuises were formerly military leaders,
who guarded the limits or marches OF
the kingdom. Hence, they were called
Lords of the Marches, or Marquises.
They are addressed as Most Honor
able and by the crown as our right
trusty and entirely beloved cousin.
Viscounts, or vice countesses. were
sheriffs in earlier days. They are ad-
dressed as Right Honorable and by
the Crown as our rightly trusty and
we'll beloved cousin Barons, origin
ally by tenure, then by writ and now
by letters patent, are bearers or sup
porters-from the etymology OF the
word-and are styled Right Honor
able, and addressed by the Crown as
our rightly trusty and well beloved.
The royal addresses sound like a
game where you go on losing word,
| don't they? The only title by tenure.
think, now existent among us is the
Earldom Of Arundel, which the Duke
of Norfolk holds by his tenre of Arun-
del Castle, but this was confirmed by
special act of Parliament. Baronets
and knights are both addressed as
Sir but while the former is a title
that holds with and descends in the
family the latter exists only during
the life of the holder. Sir William Van
Horne, who built the Canadian Pacific

How Long We Have to Live.

There is very simple rule for find
ing the average number Of years which
persons of any great age may expect
to live. II the present age be deducted
from eighty, two-thirds of the remain
der is the answer required. The result
is not absolutely accurate, but it Is
near enough. For instance, man
aged twenty might, by that rule, eX-
pect to live forty years longer, which
is Just what the latest actuarial tables
give. At forty the expectation of life
works out at nearly twenty'seyen
years, while the tables give 1t as over
twenty-five years. At sixty, the above
rule allows just over thirteen years
and the table shows little less. Tit

COLD AIR HEALTH.
wintor About the Best stimuiant People
Can Have.

Many persons regard the winter sea-
son as an unfortunate visitation. 1t Is
considered both uncomfortable to the
body and harmful to health. This Is
an error. Cold Is a most potent agent
for the restoration and preservation OF
normal activity on the part of the or
sans of the human body. 1t is a wise
plan Of providence which gives us Il
change of seasons. The winter cold
comes as a tonic to repair the injuries
done by the enervating heat of sum-
mer. Summer, 1t is true, has many
wise uses in the matter of health. II
induces outdoor life, rids the system
of poisons through copious perspira-
ton and through the scorching rays OF
sun destroys germ life. Winter is the
great bracer OF the system. II slim
ulates activity in every organ. When
cold attacks the surface of the body
the blood is set into more free circula-
tion as means of bodily warmth. 1t
Is through the circulation of the blood
that the human anatomy is kept in n
state of repair. When the food has

liquid form. 1t is taken up by the
blood and carried the rounds OF the
system for the purpose OF repairing
the waste places. When the cod
causes increased circulation, it also
brings about more perfect nutrition.
Mans face and hands illustrate how
weatherproof the body becomes when
exposed to air. Continued activity in
circulation on the surface, caused by
the air coming in contact with the
skin, tends to nourish and thicken the
skin. Thus mans skin grows thicker
in winter just as animals are supplied
with double coat of fur. The saw
ages who dwell bareheaded in the open
air. are seldom, II ever. known to be
afflicted with bald heads while, with
the civilian who shields his scalp from
air, badness is prevalent. The In
dians, who, II not now, in fermer days
roamed our western borders. practical
ly without clothing TO shelter their
bodies, became. through long eX-
posure, so Injured to the cold that II
gave them but little discomfort.-St
