WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN,

l Jean de Bloch, banker and writer, is a Russian, and being Russian he might naturally be expected to be lit | tie doubtful about Englands ability to continue to rule all the wave. He is doubtful about 1t, and he gives some
 rather impressive reasons for his doubt. sels for privateering purposes, and Eng lands enemies, VI. de Bloch thinks,
 would in maritime strategy employ the same tactics which the Boers have adopted on land with great success.
 Englands weak points would be con-
 stantly harassed without giving the
 British fleet chance to fight pitclled q
 battle. The European powers pay an-
 nual premiums to certain steamship companies whose vessels may, in the event of war, be converted into cruisers. England pays for this purpose about s, ,00O, GOO, Russia s1,OoO,oO0 Germany $5, ,o0O,O GOO, France $5,O00,000 and Italy $2,- 100000 The destructive power of the cruiser is immense. To send out squad- rons in search of the enemy's cruisers, M. de Bloch thinks, would require so much time that long before it's object
 could be accomplished England would be compelled to end the war on account
 ,f ,,,4a H1yu ', an undertaking. |
 If England should attempt to send her merchant steamers out in groups and under convoy of battleships M. de Bloch says the insurance companies would re- fuse the risks and the cost of maritime freight would assume formidable pro- portions. To protect in this manner the navigation of her enormous merchant fleet it has been calculated that Eng land would need at least five hundred cruisers. If, however, it is assumed that England could defend her mari- time commerce by means of any expedi- ents it would require an enormous ex- penditure of time and money, in M. de Bloch's opinion, and the result would be such an immense rise in tine price of the meet necessary products as to make them inaccessible to the masses of the population.
 To England the interruption of sea communications is vital question: and the consequences of such interruption might ultimately involve famine. France and Germany would not be

.INTEGLIGENT ENO UG Il.

Perhaps it will ultimately appear that the Intelligence department of Eng lands military system hasn't been as much to blame for the blunders and failures that have been made in South Africa as the department whose busi- ness it is to intelligently use intelli- gence. The British government has permitted the publication of the Intelli- gence departments estimates of the fighting strength of the Boers The fig ures indicate that after all there has been nothing in the fighting of the fed erals to show that they have more men in the field than they could have been expected to put there. Their numbers have not been underestimated -unless the services of General Kitch- eners information bureau have failed to take account of large bodies of the Boer troops. Those liable to military duty are given as 60,0o0. Among them are 4,000 Cape Dutch and as many for eigners. The remainder are all citi- zens of the two republics. That the numbers are not different from what all previous knowledge of the two States has indicated is seen from the fact that in 1894 the Transvaal had 26,299 men on it's list and the Orange Free State 173S1. They now have 31,314 and 22,314 respectively.
 Now that the British are efficient as well as intelligent they can afford to show that they have always been in- telligent.

THOUGHT HE HAD FEM.

l The Remedy a Young Wife Found to be Most Effective in Curing Her Illus band
 One of Salt Lakes young business men contracted the bad habit of com ing home little the worse for toying with the cup that cheers. His wife re- monstrated with him, and each time re- ceived the assurance it would be the last She did not give up, however, and one day last week went downtown and purchased. a small toy snake, which she placed under a chair in the sitting room True to his habit, he returned that night in a state of standardization. The wife was waiting up for him, but she spoke kindly, never once alluding to his condition. s He had not been seated but few moments when he caught sight of the snake peeping suspiciously out from ' under the rocker.
 With moderate sized yell he was in the center of the room at a bound over turning a chair and nearly upsetting the table as he went
 For heavens sake, Mary! Do you see that under the rocker?' he asked, in a hOarSe whisper.
 A look of pity came over the little wo- mans face as she looked first at the place he pointed out and then at him.
 Whats the matter, Harry? don't see anything--nothing but the rocker" :"
 Tn Gods name!" exclaimed the thor oughly frightened man. Don't you see that snake poking its head out there?"
 "Why, Harry, you must be dreaming! There's nothing there"
 "Oh, Mary! Oh, heaven, I've got 'em at last!' he sobbed, throwing himself face downward upon the couch, where he cried himself to sleep, whereupon his wife got up and, hiding the snake under her apron. went outdoors and threw 1t over the fence.
 The little woman now says that her method beats the Keeley cure.-Salt Lake Herald.

ed thickly with steel beads. With this was hat of black lace showing two delicately curved white plumes. One curled against the hair at the side, the other stood, dropping forward.
 Renewed favor for black and white is proved not only by new matings, but by new garnitures that pair the two colors. On the dress shown here was one of these new trimmings, q silk passemen- terie in which black and white appeared in the best possible contrast. On the bodice was trimming of tucked black cloth and of white cloth embroidered in black. The dress goods was oyster broadcloth. The shoulder finish of this bodice shows how the off-shoulder idea fingers, despite the fact that it was call ed in long ago. This was not the off, shoulder scheme outright, but suggested it and accomplished the same widening that arrangement used to effect.
 Earrings arc favored again, and the drop sort is especially liked by fash ionabes, who commend them highly. How, they say, could they have thought them unbecoming? What charm of lan- guid grace they give, how they set off the cheek-line, how dainty they make the ear look, what calm they give to that slant of the head which every CO., quette knows how to accomplish. Then how delightfully."- they become tangled in stray temple locks, and oh! how 1t hurts, and oh! please help!

much affected by this eventuality, ac- cording to NJ. de Bloch, while Russia would be even less affected, being an exporter of grain. England therefore, is the country chiefly interested in the maintenance of maritime communica- tion. To guard against famine in the event of long naval war it has been proposed to establish reserve supplies Of grain, but even if such a plan were ous. To secure permanent stock or grain, says M. de Bloch, tens of mil lions of pounds sterling would be requir- ed, while to store away this stock ware houses would be needed, which would also involve an expense of tens of nil- lions of pounds While England is with out such a supply of provisions, M. de Bloch concludes, she will not dare to undertake long naval war, even if ah- solutely assured of victory in the end.
 Assuming that England has sufficient supplies for her population, however, M. de Bloch maintains that she could not afford naval war with formidable European coalition at this time. "The terrible rise in prices caused by the in- crease in freight rates" he says, would expose the United Kingdom, already couvulsed through war in the Trans vaal, to the grayeSt of social crises" Unfortunately adds M de Bloch, these considerations are overlooked by public opinion in England, where they pretend not to be afraid that the pro- longation of the war in South Africa and the exhaustion of the English forces might tempt certain countries to take advantage of Englands weakness. In this event the danger Is not for Eng land alone, for the rivalry among the powers might give rise, to serious con- ficts in Europe.''

Bagasse is the name of the refuse
 cane from the sugar mills in Louis jana, and it has been discovered that it can be used in the manufacture of
 paper It is said to contain 10 per cent. of cellulose, which would become pa- per pulp, and the present annual pro-
 duction of cane would afford from 4O0,- 900 to 600,0O0 tons of paper making ma-
 terial. There is more than theory in
 the project. A sugar planter in Texas
 has been making paper, both news and
 wrapping, from the refuse of his mill
 for two years, while one bagasse paper
 mill is in operation in Louisiana, and
 three others are contemplated. At present only bagasse from what are known as diffusion batteries Is available for paper-making, the crushing mill bagasse being used as fuel, that being the most profitable use to which it can be put. For this purpose it is worth about sixty cents a ton, and it would be more profitable to turn it into paper pulp, if the latter were worth only s3 a ton, whereas 1t is really worth about $20. If a sure market offered for diff fusion bagasse it is believed that that process of juice extraction would come into general favor. It is confessedly the more scientific and profitable in that it extracts more juice from the cane. But the diffusion bagasse cannot be used for fuel, and the difficulty of disposing of it has retarded the spread of the diffusion process. The objection that Louisiana streams do not furnish the clear water needed for paper-mak- ing is met by the claim that the water can be made available by filtration
 As wood pulp may not always be as plenty and as cheap as 1t is now the prospect of such large addition tc paper stock as would be made by ba- gasse is encouraging.

A LANGUIsHING INDUSTRY


 A branch of industry which will ere of links and pins for coupling railroad cars. Automatic coupling devices rem der unnecessary the use of these ancient contrivances for fastening cars togeth- CT. The adoption of automatic coup lers has been lastened by national leg- islation, even though the time has been considerably extended before the pen- titles are imposed and years have passed since the congressional enact- ment first went into effect without the punishment of any railroad official for tardiness In making the improvement. So much progress has been shown in changing the equipment of cars that the day is undoubtedly near at hand when links and pins will only be seen in collections of railroad curiose Railroad supply houses which once handled them in carload lots, and kept large stocks to meet the steady demand, now find their orders calling for few at time, while such orders are likely to be far apart. The passing of the link and pin is si,n- ply sanotl1er illustra ton of the march of progress Apart from the danger to railroad operatives, the old-fashtoned method of coupling cars is objectionable as applied to modern rolling stock and would probably have been supplanted in due course by the automatic coupler even without a compulsory law. In this instance the loss of trade by the forge is the gain by the malleable and steel casting foundries They have en- joyed n heavy business, not only in equipping old cars, but in furnishing couplers for the mydiads of new cars purchased or built by railroad compa- nies since the revival of prosperity Railroad Age.

boys, who show plentiful lack of the sense of the ideal" In one respect, hoWever-contented with their sex-the boys have the advantage. Only two boys wished to be women, while 34 per cent. of the girls wished to be men. Some of the reasons adduced by the lat
 ter are highly flattering to the lords of
 creation. "A man is more useful and
 respectable than woman" "A man. because he is brave and can fight, and capture and gain for his country" MT.
 Rhodes is evidently this young lady's
 hero With the girls the most popular characters are Florence Nightingale,
 MT. Gladstone and |. the queen. One wishes to be the queen because 'she can do what she likes. and always knows
 what Is going to happen''--"an intelli- gent appreciation of events before they occur" being obviously valuable gift. A remarkable list, beginning with Gene ral Butler, including Shakespeare and Sir Thomas Upton, and ending with MT. Kipling, represents the ideals of the boys. The advantage og being MT. Kip
 ling is that he writes about soldiers who fight now, and not historical pieces like Shakespeare and Scotf'-which is a good piece of literary criticism, An other boy, who strangely enough desires to be MT. Kruger, gives as his reason that MT. Kruger just sits down and smokes his pipe and takes things easy Miss Dodd concludes that we want a more generous education in our primary schools, one that strives to cultivate the disposition and feelings as well as to- train the understanding" Certainly the materialism of the boys Is very shocking; but we can imagine set of answers, which, though highly grown up and commendable, would not be equally healthy and spontaneous.---Lon d0u News
