that in spite of the valor of Yankee
seamen and commanders they would
be at serious disadvantage in war
with "a progressive nation, on account
of the small number of effective YES
sells at their disposal.
Since the close OF the Spanish war
events have so shaped themselves that
the United States. for more than Il
century an isolated nation. has sud-
denly evolved into a world power,
with interests. political and CONNER
cial, TO defend in every portion Of the
globe. The president and his cabinet,
although more than ever disposed to
maintain friendly relations with the
other powers, realized that the cause
of peace is served best by being pre-
pared for war, and impressed upon
the congress the necessity of
strengthening the navy, and both
house and senate responded literally
TO the wishes of the executive. From
time 10 time appropriations were
made for the building of powerful
war tlDSs bus Aht
contract, involving an expenditure Of
$50 oO0, 000 is now about to be let. II
calls for the immediate construction
of five battleships and six armored
cruisers, comprising a tonnage utrc
than the tonnage of the entire navy
of the United States ten years ago,
and the number of vessels concerned
is greater than the number of battle
ships and armored cruisers now in
the service.
In the course of a conversatio with
a naval officer it was learned that the
designs for the new vessels, which
will go far toward giving the United
States supremacy at sea, were
planned in every detail by Admiral
Hichborn. chief of the bureau of naval
construction and repairs, and his as
sociates and assistants. all of them
members OF the naval service. The
designs call for three sheathed and
ooppered battleships carrying super
imposed turrets, and two unsheathed
battleships with quadrilateral ar.
rangement OF eight-inch turrets, both
classes TO have a speed of not less
than 10 knots. The three-sheathed
vessels will be known as the Pennsyl-
vania, Georgia and New Jersey; the

workshop and practically all Of the
auNi.iaries outside of the engineers
department, and excepting capstan
and steering gear, are to be driven
electrically. The material of con-
struction will be the highest quality
of steel. The main or upper deck, in
addition to being built of steel will
be the only one upon which wood is
to be laid. 1t is proposed to arrange
all of the vessels so that they may be
used as hagships.
The six armored cruisers are to be
called the West Virginia, Nebraska,
California, Maryland, Colorado and
South Dakota. Three will be sheathed
and three unsheathed, but all will
have the same general dimensions
SOP feet in length and about 20 feet
in width. Trial displacement is given
as 1880 tons; mean draft ut trial dis
placement, "a feet inches; extreme
draft, full load, 26 feet inches;
maximum indicated horse power,
$4,000; total coal bunker capacity,
1000 tons; speed not less than 22
knots. The armament is TO consist
of four 45-caliber S-inch guns; II
jo-caliber 6-inch guns; IS 5O-caibcr
3-inch rapid-tire guns, and so
smaller guns OF various descriptions.
Each of the cruisers will bc htted
as a flagship and will have accommo-
dations for s22 officers and men.
An English writer has called the
armored cruisers the eyes and ears of
the fleet. The ships planned by Ad-
miral Hichborn will not only he eyes
and ears, but fists as well. They are
as effectively protected as any battle
ship ahoat and their great speed will
give them advantages not possessed
by the more heavily armed and Slower
ships OF the first class.
II is expected that the II wlrships
viii be ready for service within three
years, or just in time to afford pro-
lection to our budding merchant ma
rine. The coming 36 months, it Is
predicted, will witness remarkable
revival in American ship builuIng, and
optimistic statesmen predict that ere
long American merchandise will be
carried to every port in American
bottoms. The United States now

THE KENTUCKY QUEEN.
editor OF Blue Grass state Paper
Finds New Name for the
Busy Hen.

We have read OF Maud ON q sum
mer day, who raked, barefooted, the
new-mown hay; we have read of the
maid in the early morn, who MIXED
the cow with the crumpled horn; and
we've read the lays that the poets
sing of the rustling corn and the flow
ers of spring; but of all the lays Of
tongue or pen, there's naught like the
lay Of the Trimble hen. Long, long
before Maud rakes the hay, the Trim
BILE hen has begun to lay; and ere
the milkmaid stirs peg, the hen is
up and has dropped her egg; the
corn must rustic and flowers spring
if they hold their own with the barn
yard ring. If Maud is needing a hat
and gown, she doesn't hustle her hay
to town; she goes to the store and
obtains her suit with a basket full of
her fresh henfruit; If the milkmaid's
beau makes Sundays call, she
doesn't feed him milk at all but
works up eggs in a custard pie and
stuffs him full Of chicken fry; and
when the old man wants a horn, does
he take the druggist a load of corn?
Not much! He simply robs a nest
and TO town he goes--you know the
rest. He fingers there and he talks,
perchance, of true reform and correct
feenance, while his poor wife stays
at home and Scowls. but is saved
from want by those self-same fowls;
for while her husband fingers there
she watches the cackling hens with
care, and gathers eggs, and the eggs
she'll hide till she saves enough to
stem the tide. Then hail, al hail! to
the Trimble hen, the greatest blessing
Of all men! throw up your hats and
make Rome howl for the preserving
barnyard fowl; Corn may be king,
but it's plain TO be seen the Trimble
hen is the Kentucky queen.-Milton

THE HENS IN WINTER.
To Prevent Diseases They Must lie
Kept Dry and Warm and Pro-
tcoted from Exposure.

While roup may not exist in the
flock, yet hoarseness, rafting in the
throat, blindness, etc, are common
ailments. They are mostly due to
colds, and are usually caused by ex-
posture to draufts of air at night,
either from crack or crevice in the
wall, from top ventilation, or from
exposure during the day to high
winds. II is very annoying, and af-
focts the fowls that are very fat more
than others. AS the nostrils are usual
ly closed, also, the giving of liquid
medicines sometimes results in stgan-
gulation. Keep the birds dry and
warm, away from drafts of any kind.
Inject one or two drops of camphor-
ated oil into each nostril, let the bird
be quiet las exercise seems to increase
the difficulty, and give a pill the size
of three-cent silver piece in diam
eter three times a day, composed Of
equal parts by weight of quinine,
bromide of potash and red pepper
After so doing swab the throat with
solution made by dissolving a
piece of blue vitriol as large as a bean
in gill of warm water, using a soft
rag on stick. Feed on nourishing
food, such as chopped lean meat. The
main point is to keep the bird dry
and warm. If the breathing is very
severe give two drops of spirits OF
