the English expert quoted above. 1t
is impossible to believe, however, that
his fears are genuine. Our British
cousins have too long start to be
overhauled by Uncle Sam unless we
should increase the number of our
shipyards and spend hundreds of mil
lions Of dollars in the next decade turn
ing out battleships and cruisers. The
truth is that the alarm expressed by
our British cousins is part of their
scheme to reconcile King Edwards
subjects to heavy taxation to maintain
England's naval supremacy. That is
the way the Briton is ''bunkoed' into
paying heavier tribute to his govern
ment. The game is an old one, but
the British taxpayer has not yet seen

BAD NAMES. BAD LUCK.
War Vessels Of All Nations Have
Amply Proved It.

If one should be 30 bold as to char
ly, he would at once declare that there
Is sufficient reason for his belief, and
would proceed to prove that war ves
sells named after stinging and venom
Gus things have been unlucky, and that
the country should not be so indiffer
ent to the men who follow "a life on
the ocean wave" as to organize a mos
quito fleet. That Snake Is regarded as
an unfortunate name for a vessel Is
shown by the fact that two Of that
name have been lost, one in 1871 and
the other in 1S47; but no vessel bear
ing that name is known to exist now.
Serpent, which Is only substitute
name for Snake, Is an unlucky one
also, for the one wrecked in 1892 was
the fourth British war vessel Of that
name to meet the same fate. Viper
has been an unlucky name in the Brit
ish navy. The first one was wrecked
in 1880, but the admiralty would not
swerve, and so kept the name on the
list, each vessel meeting its DOOM and
the fourth was lost only recently. The
French navy has also been unlucky
with vessels so named. The Viper,
used in the British service after she
became prize from the French. was
lost in 1893. The second was lost a
year later, the third in 1897, and the
fourth was recently lost in a collision
off Guernsey.
The Cobra, another British war YES
sci, was lost recently at the same time
as the Viper. Among other vessels
similarly named and which met fates
other than In battle are the Rattle
snake, in 1881; the Alligator, in 1882;
the Crocodile, in 1884; the Adder, in
1846; three Lizards, two Dragons and
one Basilsk. All Of these were Of the
British navy. The list could be made
larger by citing the records Of other
navies. The Norsemen, who were 80
fond Of naming their vessels against
the laws Of superstition, and using hid

their high prows, were less unfortu-

ANY self-propelled vehicle Is at dis

Horses have purchase on the ground

in crowded tenement-house district

the managers was to make important
scientific truths clear to the people
who have most need OF them. The

classes, hygienic bedroom, a milk
exhibit, showing how to cleanse nurs-

clothing for children, tuberculosis ex-

Real happiness is based upon sue
cess in definite aim, and as one rises
in intelligence and knowledge one
feels more and more acutely the mis-
cry Of failure. How important, then,
is it in the scheme Of life, which Is in
tensely practical in these days Of
fierce competition, that in getting All
education boy should gather it not
merely for the enlarged view 1t gives
him, but for its adaptation to the
needs Of his future life and work. Too
many young men are educated to do
things they are not fitted to do. Their
training is not made to harmonize
with their natural views. Boys should
rather be taught to use the tools they
will be most likely to need in their
life-work. This is an age Of special
ization, and those who confne them
selves to one kind Of work and be-
come as nearly perfect in that particu-
lar line as it is possible to be are the
ones who will succeed best. And for
the boy who would really succeed
there are things to learn not thorough
ly enough included III even the high
est education. These are along the
line of straightforward and economi-
cal living. Who has not seen-dOes
not see daily-instances of distress
and suffering and disappointment that
could have been avoided had the start
been made right? To be happy and
successful in this life for any length
of time one must first of all learn to
live on less than he makes. That is
as true an axiom as any in the books,
and there is no more important one
in all the worlds wealth of wisdom
1t applies alike to all men, except Of
course those who have so little man
hood that they can be content to let
others support them in idleness If a
boy or man will learn to live so econ
omically that he will always have
something left out Of his income after
paying all his expenses, he is sure
barring the unavoidable accidents Of
life which no one can foresee-to have

he is getting it. Yes his is sure to be
as happy lot and as successful life
as falls to any man. For success. no
more than happiness, Is measured in
material things. But it Is not alone
the work one does in the world which
gives him his status; 1t is the way he
does 1t, and what he does with his
wages and his time after his days
work Is done. Those after hours are
the ones that determine very largely
mans joys or sorrows, whatever
may be the grade Of his daily work,
or the amount of his wage, whether
high or low, according to the proper
classification Of 1t. There may be
much personal satisfaction in knowing
more about the heavenly bodies than
others do, and there may be joys in
being able to delve in ancient Ian
guage for pearls Of thought. For such
things one needs higher education
than for saving wood or digging fish

may be the better, happier man, for 1t
Is not the character Of the labor that
determines personal honor and worth,
but the character which the man
