also still used, consists of an ex-
plosive charge carried at the end of
a long spar in boats bows, the
craft being rowed close up to the
doomed vessel and the charge explod'
ed. The towing torpedo, as its name
implies, was towed along and ma
neuvered so as to explode underneath
an enemy's vessel, this kind being in
turn followed by the true self-propell-
ing torpedo, the Whitehead, now in
general use. The last form which
need be noticed is the Brennan.

Department of Agriculture.

While it is universally admitted that
the administration of the Department
of Agriculture is probably the most
effective in the world, it Is interesting
to note that this service costs the ma.
ton far less than that Of other coun'
tries. A German paper states that
Russia expends annually for this pur
pose as much as the United States
and France. Austria and Hungary
about SS,500,000 each, while America
spends but $4,000 900.

In the perfume kissed land of the sun

With charms that no other known race

The girl you can kiss is nowhere to be

One Of those inconsequent yet per-

the manner and time of serving green

sufficient individuality to be 'the

TOWNS SOLD AT AUCTION.
English village Disposed or Z q the
Highest Bidder to Cancel

II is not often that an entire village
comes under the hammer to be sold
by All 3tion for debt, but such an event
has recently been exciting the folk of
North Essex, where the village of High
Garrett-coInprising several farms. the
village schools. residences. the post

that was under sale is known locally as
the High Garrett estate" and at one
tine belonged TO the late Samuel
Courtauld, q founder of the firm In
Braintrce, in whose mills the silk and
silk crepe ere produced that has made
the name OF Courtauld SO famous. In
Braintree itself and the %neighboring
villages the name of Courtauld is al.
most n household word, for the bene-
factions of the family have been many
and on all sides can be seen evidences
of their generosity.
The village is well situated on the
high road from Braintree 10 Halstead
about three miles from the former
and about four from the latter.
There is little of interest in the place
to attract the visitor. excepting the
schools, which were built for the viii
lage folk by the late Samuel Court
auld about so years ago. Great inter
est was shown in the sale of the estate.
which was offered in twenty lots, and
the bidding was brisk, good prices
being realized. All but two of the lots
were sold. AS II vas property to the
value Of over 10000 changed hands.
The principal lots sold and the prices
realized were as follows: The Garrett
farm, comprising about 1855 acres, resi-
dence and the usual agricultural prem
ises, G3,367. The Sloughhouse farm,
as acres and premises. G635; Pear Tree

Russian officials and editors are said
to be puzzled over the fact that the

gone so far as to "remind" us that
Alexander II, in 1863, tout Of pure
friendship" offered to aid the United
States during the Civil war with treas
ures of gold and his fleet Of ships"
But the weakness OF this claim lies
! in the fact that our state department
has nc record If any such offer and in
the further fact that Russia at that
time had no treasures of gold" to

this supposed offer, Russia had floa'ed
a 5 per cent loan Of 100000 pounds
sterling at only Ola and devoted the
proceeds to an Intellectual attempt to
reduce the flood of its outstanding
paper. In the year when Russia is
now said to have offered her treasures
of gold" her outstanding paper cur
rency, almost wholly unsecured,
amounted to near'y 625,OOO,OOO roubles.
