The Battleship Virginia.

The launching OF great battleship at
Newport News is an interesting event
under any circumstances Tho launching
Of the battleshjp Virginia In Virginia
waters Is moro than doubly interesting,
and 1t is not strange that every Vlrsinian
should wish to witness the plunge and
give the good ship hurrah and a good
wish as sho glides into tho water.
What is to DO the fate Of this ship?
Is it her destiny to Ito around In placid
waters and never fire one Of her guns
at an enemy and rust out In "innocuous
desuetude," or is she destined to fight
many battles for her country and play
an important part In the history of the
world? Who knows but what there may
be In time war to the finish between
the United States and some foreign
power or powers which will Change tho
geography of the world" And who
knows but what the Virginia's guns will
decide the issue and give triumph to the
Stars and Stripes?
Thus may the imagination clothe the
ship In mystery and give her the addl-
tional charm OF romantic interest But
whatever hor fate. she will boar an hon
ored name. II not, indeed, a name to con-
jure with, and at her christening to-day.
besides her steel plates she will BIO
armored with the blessings Of all her
Virginia sponsors.

Home Training.

{ At a recent meeting Of the Philadelphia

court were discussed, One Of the speak
ers connected with this court said that
the small children were not the ones who
gave trouble, but tho larger boys OF four
teen and fifteen years Of age often"
said tho speaker, III is the parent who
is delinquent and not the child, We ac-
cuse the children Of running away from
home when one would respect a dog for
running away from such a place. We
must have co-opecation to show the pa
rents that they are wrong and to make
them support their children in a proper
manner. The law is not stringent enough
upon this point The parents do not care
for their children"
THE home is the great training school
for children, and the boy or girl who
does not receive pgoper training there
is very apt TO go.,o the bad. or course,
