She was ailing rather than sick last

began to fail ominously. There was time
enough after the seriousness OF her con-

children. and all OF them, four sons and
two daughters. were about her deathbed.
The funeral will probably be very simple

A Monster That Towers Nearly Twenty
Feet in the Air.
The National zoo at Washington
was a few days ago the recipient Of
one Of the largest living carniyorous
animals. This is the Kadiak bear,
an animal discovered six years ago.
Although the biggest creature in
the western continent, the Kadiak
bear has the most limited habitat of
any animal in the world. The island
of Kadiak, just off the western coast
of Alaska, is the only place where
the animal is found. The largest
one killed by a white man measured
Is feet in length, and was six feet
high at the shoulders. Standing
upon his hind legs, this monster
would tower nearly 20 feet in the
air.-Cincinnati Commercial Trib-

FLOWERS OF THE GREAT. z
King Edward Prefers Violet, Salisbury
+, the Yellow Carnation.

King Edwards favorite flower, ac-
oording to Stray Stories, is the vio-
let, closely followed by the auricula
the latter being an especial favor
lite for buttonhole purposes. The
wildhowers Of the English woods,
notably the primrose and bluebell
are dearest to the heart Of Queen
Alexandra and she has also a great
| fondness for carnations. Her pet
aversions in the floral world are the
tuberose and gardenia, the strong,
sickly smell Of whose blossoms is dis
tasteful to her.
Lord Salisbury's floral favorite is
not the primrose, but the yellow car
nation He, however, divides his
affection between this flower and the
rhododendron, and one of the finest
collections Of this Towering shrub in
the country is to be found at Hat
field.
Mr.. Chamberlain and his orchids
are, of course, household words, but
Sir William Harcourt has gardening
tastes as far removed from those of
the colonial secretary as are his po-
litical views. His weakness is for
anemones and other Alpine plants,
in the culture Of which he is unusual
II y interested.
Although contrary to politics,
Lord Rosebery's flower is the prim-
rose. He shares his favor between
that and the lafrance variety of rose.
These two together gives his lord
ships racing colors-rose and prim-
rose-and are much in evidence
wherever he may happen to be.
If ever one man loved one flower
that man is the dean of Rochester, S.
Reynolds Hole, and his hearts de-
light is the rose. He has grown hun
dreds of different varieties, and writ
ten whole books about them, yet is
always discovering something new.
Miss Ellen Terry is in love with the
violet, but also finds a place in her
heart for the white variety of carna-
ton which was named after her.
The carnation, indeed, seems to have
ousted the rose from pride Of place,
for among other celebrities who con-
fess to placing it first floral fayorite
are the princess Of Wales, the duch-
ess of Fife, Queen Wilhelmina Of
Holland and the queen of Roumania.
The duke of Westminster is faith
full to the rose, and so is Earl Beau.

OUR wARsHIps.
The Different Kinds of Vessels That Com
pose the Navy.

pose the Navy.
There seems to be no good reason
why everyone should not know some
thing about the ships that are used
by our government to carry on war
or protect our shores.
War vessels are of various kinds,
each built for a specific purpose We
have monitors, which are heavy boats
that sit low in the water. They are
heavily armored, and are provided
with powerful gums. They are not
very speedy, are oflight draught and
their primary purpose is. to protect
the coast.
Then there are swift flying cruis-
ers, whose business is to keep posted
as to the doings Of the rest of the
world and to come to the rescue of
the battleships when needed. Cruis-
ers are divided into classes-ar-
mored, protected and unprotected.
The difference between the three
classes is in the armor plating and the
weight of the guns.
The armored cruisers have a heavy
plating Of steel to protect their en-
gines and ammunition. The pro-
tected cruisers are of lighter weight
and greater speed, but less heavily
protected steel. The unprotected
cruisers have to depend upon their
coal supply for protection, as they
have no steel covering. They carry
lighter guns and have a much greater
speed.
The duties of the gunboats are va
rious. They are built to Withstand
the high seas and also to ply the riv-
ers. These may be sent to all parts of
the world. Gunboats are divided into
two classes-dypamite and powder
being named for the kind of ammuni-
ton they carry.
Then there are little torpedo boats
that in former years have done such
good service. These little boats, as
their name implies, shoot or lay tor
pedOes. They are not built to with
stand shot and shell; therefore they
must do their work under cover of
darkness. The use Of the searchlight
has caused the work of the torpedo
boat to become very difficult and dan
gerous.
The heavy fighting is done by the
great fighting machines which we
call battleships, which are also divid-
ed into classes, called first, second
and third class. One of the best
known and therefore easiest de.
scribed, is the Indiana, which has q
displacement Of 1O,288 tons, an ar.
NOR belt Is inches thick and carries
1859 tons of coal; it has a speed of
1916 knots. This ship is supplied
with guns of the largest size, besides
rapid-fring gatling guns and two tor
pedo tubes There are other ships Of
this size and many but little smaller.
Then there are the great battering
rams. These are built to bump with
terrific force into any unprotected
