related that the Virgin had appeared to
eral times, and at last wonderful
spring issued from corner Of the grot-
to where it had been seen. 1t was soon
proclaimed that the spring possessed
miraculous qualities, and it says much
for the power of the Roman Catholic
religion, that on the faith of Berna-
dette's story hundreds of thousands Of
persons have visited the cave annually;
and hospital and converts, hotels and
houses, have beea built to meet the
wants of the pilgrims. The girls Wis
ion was declared to be authentic by
the Bishop of Tarbes, and the place
attracted such multitude of pilgrims
that a railway was built to bring them to
the town.
In 1876 IS archbishops and bishops,
presided over by the Archbishop Of
Paris and the Apostolic Nuncio, gave
their seal to the story of Bernadette
by assisting at the dedication of a
handsome basilica, built in the thir-
teenth century style, which was erect
ed over the cave. This was only
short time before Bernadette, who had
become a nun, died in q convent. The
many ohapels and corridors below the
church are lined with votive offerings.
Generals leave their orders and brides
their wells. The walls of the upper
church are also entirely covered with
similar offerings. The first chapel on
the left records the 18 appearances of
the Virgin and the singular words
which Bernadette described her to have
spoken: go to the fountain, eat of
the grass beside it, pray for mankind.

the other pulpit from which priest
directs the devotions of the pilgrims.
Special trains bring countless invalids
to Lourdes. and the sight of so much
human suffering gathered in one spot
is deeply pathetic. There are numer-
GUS bands of volunteers at the town
who skilfully undertake the organiza-
ton of the throngs of pilgrims, most
of whom are of the poorer class, and
who have spent what is to them large
sum on the journey. The majority of
the invalids, unfortunately, return as
they came, but their faith is mistaken;
they have not had sufficient faith they
say. Among the pilgrims one year was
lola, who went for the purpose Of
seeking material for his wildly writ

JApAN's NAVAL POWER.
Marvellous Progress Has Placed the
Nation Among Worlds Great
Naval Powers.

In 1858 Queen Victoria presented
small steam yacht to the emperor OF
Japan, detailing some British blue
jackets to the duty of instructing the
Japanese in the management Of that
class of vessel. The Japanese under
took to handle the craft before they
had thoroughly learned their lesson,
and on the first voyage, when they
wanted to stop, they discovered thai
they had forgotten now this operation
was performed They therefore
steamed round and round the gulf OF
Yeddo until the fires died down, and
then the yacht was tugged home, says
the North American Review. Since
then Japan has risen to the position OF
one of the great naval powers, and her
progress of recent years has been moth
ing short of marvellous At the time OF
her war with China her whole fleet
displaced about 10000 tons; to-day the
aggregate displacement is over 25O,OOO
tons. Japan has fishing population OF
about 100000 men, and from this sec
ton of the community she draws her
seamen. Hitherto she has been de-
pending upon other countries for the
construction of her vessels, but the
time is near at hand when she will be
able to throw off the assistance of the
western world. Her arsenals are al
ready capable of building projected
cruisers and torpedo craft, and gun
factory and armor plate factory are
now being established which will soon
be ready to begin work.
Her seamen are men of intelligence,
resource and sea lore, and capable OF
quickly acquiring sufficient mechanical
skill to enable them to control the COM
pick mechanism of their modern men,
of-war with complete success. They de-
sire no pampering and they can live on
the simplest food and sleep anywhere;
but in their new ships they have more
air, and, in some respects, greater COM
forts than are to be found on many, II
not most, British men-of-war. These
sailors of the far east take things very
much as they find them, with stoical
calm. They face danger with much the
pleasure, and in spite of the rapid strides
which civilization has made in their
country their luxuries are few and they
are contented and happy. They are de-
voted to simple sports, to fencing and
to acting; no one can ever forget the
dramatic entertainments on board Jap
anese men-of-war who has been priv
ileged to witness them. Nor does the
memory soon become dim of one OF
these ships when decked out in gala dress
with chrysanthemums, cherry blossoms
and other blooms typical of Japan en-
livening the grim aspects OF the decks.
The men are adopts in the making OF
imitation paper flowers, which SO closely
resemble the handiwork of nature that
at a casual glance one hardly notices
the deception.
