"In time of peace be prepared for a fight" is evidently the policy of the nations of the world. Our country is not lacking in preparation. Owing to our overpowering strength in this hemisphere and the fact that 5000 miles of sea are as a moat to our cas- tie, there is little reason why we should fear any foe. Nevertheless We go on fortifying and building war ships. Gen eral Crozier, chief of ordinance, says that no foreign power can enter any of the twenty-five ports fortified under the directions of the Endicott board and upon which SsO,0OO,OOO have been spent, unless they shall enter during a fog when it will be impossible for our gunners to take accurate aim. He therefore suggests further expendi- lures for torpedo and submarine de- fense and for the perfection of a sys- tenn of fire control by which one expert marksman can aim and fire all the guns of a fortress at once.

in other departments get up publica- tions, just to display their names on the fly leaf Mir Landis refers to one chief clerk who had the form of the fly leaf changed eight times before it suited him and gave him what he con- sidered the desired prominence in liter ature. A few years ago congress print ed the annual report of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It cost the government large sum. The chief clerk of the state department had a pamphlet printed at government ex- pense with the title "The Department of State and How It is Run." Mir Lam dis says there is no dishonesty in the government printing office, but that it is simply extravagant. This would seem to be a distinction of words with out difference of effect. Extrava- gance with government funds is dis honest. It is using the government funds which come from the people for purpose ill which the people nave no interest and from which they derive | no benefit.

Try It Next Year.

Women who go to the summer resort hotels or country boarding houses have discovered the inconvenience of having their wardrobe suspended on row of hooks behind a scanty curtain, which makeshift must serve for a closet in more than one place. It is a wise pre- caution to take along some extra hooks to add to the scant row, and also some empty spools to turn over the hooks to prevent them from rusting gowns. Another good idea is to take along a sheet in the trunks. Tack this along the wall under the hooks. Sew loops O. tape along the bottom end and when the skirts are in place double the shee; up over them. fastening these loops on the hooks. Pillow cases hung on tapes nay also serve as skirt bags.

The Anglo-Japanese treaty, by which England has sought to strength en herself in Asia through Japan, is beginning to elicit unfavorable criti- cism from Englishmen themselves, says one writer. Mr Cawley, member of parliament for Prestwick, gave voice to the sentiment of many of his countrymen when he declared the oth- CT day that it is humiliating to English pride to have to tell the people of India in so many words that England is un- der the necessity of calling a "colored race" to her aid to safeguard India against an external assault. Such a confession of weakness cannot but damage English prestige with Asiat- ics, whom she would like to impress with a sense of her greatness. Then, too. there is the possibility of England being involved in any amount of trouble by the clause of the Anglo Japanese compact guaranteeing the in- tegrity of China. The London Specta- tor, referring to this clause as a prob able fruitful cause of danger. says: Should revolution and anarchy break out in China, we may find ourselves faced with the very dangers and diff culties that have pursued European diplomacy in the case of Turkey dur ing the last fifty years. and on a much greater scale. If anarchy were once to take hold of China. 1t would be i'm possible to make that ring-fence round her which we call the maintenance of her integrity and Independence: and the result might be an outbreak of that jealousy and animosity among the European powers which it is one of the chief objects of the new treaty to prevent"
