Preparing for the Usual Winter Cruise
Among the West Indies.


Admiral Farquhar, in command of the
North Atlantic squadron, was at the Navy
Department yesterday afternoon talking
over affairs connected with the ships of the
squadron and his plans for the future. 1t
is expected that the ships will go south for
the usual winter cruise in West Indian wa
tiers. Two of the battle ships. the Indiana
and Massachusetts, were detached from the
squadron on the admirafs recommendation
and soon will go to League Island navy
yard for overhauling. The admiral report
ed that his flagship, the New York. was in
exceptionally good condition, considering
that she has been In the water for several
years. On her trial trip she made twenty
one knots and now, after seven years con-
tinuous service, she made the run from
Boston in the fast time Of twenty knots.
The Alabama has been ordered to be COM
missioned on the 10th instant, and after re-
ceiving her torpedo equipment will be at
tached to Admiral Farquhar's squadron.

His Affective Duty.

Mrs, Greene-Yes, young Stoughton
does frequent drinking saloons, but
don't think he does it because he likes it.
Mrs. Grey-He isn't compelled to visit
such places.
Mrs. Greene-No, suppose not, ex-
cept in conventional sort of way. But
as said, don't think he enjoys enter
ing saloons. l happened to see him the
other day as he went into one, and after
ward when he came out. When he went
in he looked terribly glum, showing that
he was doing what was not agreeable,
but when he came out he was as cheer
full as you please, showing that he was
glad to make his escape from the place.

The divorce evil seems to grow with
every year. $500 divorces were granted
in the State of Ohio last year We agree
that there are faults on both sides, but the
great problem Isl Are those faults remedi-
able /? To a great extent there is no doubt
the conditions which result III divorce NAV
be remeded. Given dyspeptic husband
and a wife suffering from female trouble
and we have the ready made eleinc--ts of a
divorce case. In view of the facts there
can be very little doubt that many women
look forward to divorce only because thew
seek relief from obligations they do not
feel fitted to fulfill. Women are not to
blame. They have looked forward to their
home life as a dream of paradise. Then
disease comes like a serpent and DESTROYS
all happiness.
Women who suffer with facilitating
drains, Inflammation, liberation, female
trouble and bearing down pains, will find
certain relief and cure in Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t so invigorates
the organs peculiarly feminine and regn-
lates their functions chat they are estab-
lished in a perfectly healthy condition
The old lightness of heart comes back :
there's light i'll the eyes and a smile on the
lips. The old irritation and nervousness
are gone, and the husband comes to his
home as haven of rest and comfort.

Tactics of Birds in Stormy Weather.

During tremendous wind storms
birds may sometimes be seen flying
overhead at great altitude. When
this phenomenon is observed 1t may
be taken for granted that the upper
atmosphere is comparatively quiet and
that the disturbance is confined chiefly
to the lower regions.
When q heavy wind or gale springs
up, says Pearson's Weekly, the gulls,
terms and petrels will fly to and fro
over the waters surface, rising and
falling; and uttering their peculiar
cries of warning. If the storm extends
too high up they will drift gradually
with the wind, OF fly away on the edge
Of the hurricane.
4 young herring gull, a petrol or a
tern thus surprised will beat up
against the wind with powerful flight.
1t will rise high in the air facing the
gale and making Il little progress
forward rs we'll as upward. Then it
will descend with rapid flight toward
one side of the storm swept path, but
| falling off at the same time IN the dl-
rcction Of the blowing wind. Once
more it will sweep around and face
the storm, ascending heavenward and
strikingly desperately out toward the
direction of the storm. By pursuing
these tactics the bird will gradually
work itself to one side Of the storm
| centre.

AND THE YEARS co BY.

Lightly sips youth at the wines of it's joys
laughs at the charms Of yesterdays toys;
lie is so long and nothing alloys,
And the years so by.
Little by little the world shows lis dross,
Deepens the sense of enjoyment and loss;
Pleasure is wearing off part a its gloss.
And the. years go by.
Now there is question and doubt and dis.
may!
Well time will alter, and truth will! out
stay;
Night is as ncedful, perhaps, rs the day.
And the years 60 by.
Work multiplies and pleasures abatc,
So much to do, and we are so late,
Duties still focking now knock at the
gate.
And the years go by.
Once-ah, we sigh! but we never can stop;
What is life for bat to work till we drop?
Only one thought-to rise to the top.
And the years go by.
Age is oncoming, and what have we done
Oh, we had dreamed. Of such victories
woni
Whose is the fault. and what is undonc?,
And the years 60 by.
What do we hold but handful of dust?
We were so wise in our first ardent trust,
Somehow VIC missed the real metal for
rust
And the years go by.

A Defense of tho Cat.

"The idea that cats, out OF cruelty,
play with a mouse before killing it is
"A mistake" observed cat fancier to
the writer. recently. Nsu doubt
what I say just notice what happens
when cat catches sparrow Or any
other small bird. The bird Is not
played with, but slain at once. If the
cat tried any game with the sparrow,
though wounded, could easily fly
away. But q mouse cannot escape, in
that way, so the cat practices upon
the unfortunate little animal a variety
of experiments in order to keep its
powers as hunter up to the mark.
That is why it so frequently gives the
mouse a chance Of running away, and
the harder the task it sets itself the
more will it's skill be improved. If a
cat did not take such lessons Occa-
sionally it. would soon become Sec
ond-rate mouser. r."-Washington Star.

Leg Saved by Tickling.

Raymond Crane, aged five, while
playing, got one leg so firmly wedged
into q five-foot water pipe that a
policeman and two brawny laborers
could not get it out without danger of
dismembering him. BLOW the pipe
to pieces with dynamite" said one.
"Send for a DOCTOR" said another,
'ssue the city," a third. "Unscrew
the lad" said a policeman, a new ar
rival. "Tickle his foot with a straw
and see if he won't pull his leg out
himself" suggested Raymond's bright
little sister. The plan worked we'll.
Every time any one tickled Raymond's
foot the boy would draw up his toes
and wriggle his leg and draw it up a
little out of the pipe. Finally he gave
a last wriggle and drew his leg out

And thinks we'd better live in town!
Who commanders my only hack,
