PLAN ECONOMY IN NAVY,
Vessels to Be Placed in Reserve Until
Need for Their Services
Arises

Washington. The naval general staff
proposes to put naval vessels in reserve
for the purpose Of economy. 1t has been
discovered that the cost OF keeping a
battleship in commission amounts to
more than S1,000,000 a year, and it is
realized that some provision must be
made for maintaining two classes OF
ships in reserve
During the next session of congress
an appropriation will probably be re-
quested for maintaining ships in or
dinary under a system OF serviceability
that will permit use of the vessels with
out much delay.
One class will be kept at the navy
yards under such conditions of readi-
ness for duty at sea as will permit their
departure from port within "a hours
This can be accomplished by having the
ships in the care of few officers and men,
the engines turned over frequently ard
the equipment stored in accessible
places alongside, when not actually Oh
board
Another class will be in less readiness
for service, probably far enough re-
moved from the condition of duty to
require week or more to send the ves-
sci away from the yard.

MAKES HORSE COMPANION.
Master Eats Nearly Same Fare as the
Animal with Which He
Lives.

Alexandria, Ind.-Jules Sampiou, a
Belgian glass blower during the palmy
days of the gas belt, but for years known
as the Hermit of Orestes," three miles
west of the city, has been declared in
sane and has been transferred to the
Richmond insane asylum.
Sampiou lost his mind because he
was Tilted by his girl in Belgium, since
which time he has stunned men and
lived alone with a sorrel horse in a
ten-foot square hovel. wholly devoid Of
furniture, When his insanity was first
noticeable he was found one morning
in his room, which was carpeted with
uncashed wage checks footing ove-
S7OO. He has plenty of money, but eats
nearly the same fare as his horse. He
used to come to this city once every
two weeks for oats, corn, etc., which
he carried home or pushed in hand
cart. the horse a beautiful sorrel, walking
meekly along behind. He allowed the
horse to do no work.

NEWEST WOMAN is ANCIENT
The Most Up-to-Date Members of the
Sex Are Not Far Off from
the Oldest.

One of the pet reproaches against the
new woman is that, in her unseemly
longing to stand upon the same footing
as her aforetime lord and master, she
invented the fashion Of wearing gar
ments of a mannish cut, says the Chi
cago Chronicle.
This is most unjust. and she may read
lily be proved guiltless of the charge by
a trifiing investigation of the fashions
of ancient times and Of conservative
countries, where the poor things are as
unemancipated as possible, aIad still
wear the same style Of garments rs their
foremothers of thousands years ago.
The Chinese lady, as every traveller tes-
titles, is one of the most modest, retiring
and conventional of creatures, yet she
wears clothes almost exactly like those
of her husband and brothers. Indeed,
in China trousers are considered much
more proper as feminine garments than
skirts.
The Turkish woman's dress is identi-
cal with that of the husband who keeps
her so carefully shut away from all new
tangled notions, and the Esquimau
woman clothes her little fat legs in tight
sealskin breeches, finished off with
smart fur topped boots.
The happy woman of Siam, who has
never been obliged to go in for woman's
rights, having always been as free as air
and the equal of any man of her &C
quaintance, wears, like every man in the
kingdom, a square of cotton or silk Gu
riously adjusted about the legs and fas-
tened by tucking two OF the ends through
at the waist in what travellers describe
as a perilously insecure manner
The Greeks, with their hunting god
dess, their amazons, and their swift At
lantas in the athletic games, have shown
US how beautiful women can be in the
short tunic worn by the youths But no
doubt even then old folks mentioned
prehistoric time when girls were not so
bold.

Mound Builders as Miners.

The mound builders appear to have
been miners. The mica veins of North
Carolina, one scientist finds, were
worked on a large scale in ancient times,
probably by the mound builders. They
opened and worked veins down to the
water level, lack of metal tools appar-
emily preventing them from going
deeper into the hard rock. These mica
veins are simply dikes of coarse granite
An idea of the coarseness may be had
from the fact that the masses of cleara-
BILE feldspar and of quartz and of mica
are often found to measure several yards
in two or three dimensions and to weigh
several tons. A single block of mica has
been known to make two full two horse
wagonloads, while some mica sheets
have been seen three and four feet in
diameter.-Chicago Tribune.

HARMFULNESS OF GOSSIP.

1t seems to be a pleasure to certain

and in few months names and initials
will be found carved on it with pocket

body cares to bother about its hlStorl-
cal associations, or take time to notice
that it's architecture is beautiful 1t is
easy to tear down, but not as easy to
build up, says American Queen.
1t is the easiest thing in the world to
pick flaws in the character of an ac-
quaintance, to gossip about his or her
shortcomings and make anecdotes illus
trating foibles and weaknesses. But it
is far more difficult to help that person
build up his character, to give him SYM
pathetic help when he needs it, and to
stand up for him when others criticise
him. 1t is easy to whittle gashes in his
reputation and mar his good name with
few strokes, it is easy to look on care
lessly or cynically and see a fine char
acter go to ruin, but it is another
thing to lend hand and keep it strong
and sure, in fighting with it against ad-
verse influences.
Idle gossip is sharp and quick to harm,
and it is easy to say 'Clever" things that
cut into anothers character. 1t is the
strong man or woman who upbuilds and
the weak one who tears down. 1t is the
strong character which is quick to see
strength and amiable characteristics in
others, which is generous and tolerant
and kindly. Suspicion, cynicism, bitter
remarks and readiness to gather and
spread unpleasant smallnesses and
meannesses. One never becomes popu-
lar by indulging in ridiculous gossip. He
will be listened to, quoted and feared
but his associates will dislike him and
distrust him instead of admiring him
and having confidence in him
