USE OF SMALL ARMS.

For the purpose Of making the man of the navy of the United States as proficient in the use of small arms as they are with the big guns of their ships, the Government is no westab- fishing a target range at Guantanamo, on Ehe Island of Caba, which will be one of the most complete of its kind in the world. Guantanamo is located on the reservation over which this Government has control as a naval sta- tion, and is removed from settlements, So that practice can be carried on with perfect safety. Last year the navy en- deapored to hold target practice at Yorktown, but owing to the danger to people living in the vicinity, it had to be abandoned. Modern small arms have such great carrying capacity that a shot going wild might easily fly two miles and hit some person. After care full consideration, it was agreed that there was nowhere in this country a suitable place for this practice work. A recent report to the department shows that already 200 of these targets have been erected. When completed there will be 800, and large as this number seems, there will be none too many. These ranges will be at 200, 300, 500 and 1000 yards, and the firing line will be more than 2,000 yards in length. The Guantanamo range will be utilized f9 RiT1 lsa When these ranoeuyres take place there will be an average of fifteen ships, with a complement of 40 men each. in Cuban waters. It is the pur- pose of the department to have these targets in shape for the coming man. oauvres, which will be held either in December or January next. Small arms are no longer used by boarding parties. as in these days of high-power guns naval battles are fought wit,1 great distances between opposing fleets, but I. is. however, essential that sailors should know how to handle a gun effec> lively, as they are frequently employed in landing operations and as infantry men on shore. Suitable medals and other awards for excellence in marks manship have been provided as incen- tives for the men to attain a high de- gree of efficiency. Divided according to their records, the men viii be arranged in'.o classes, so the department will at all times know just who are the best shots of the navy and where they are stationed. The record of ship, both with small arms and the main and sec ordray batteries will be taken into con sideration ill arranging fhe ships of the navy to special lines of duty.-Wash- ington Post.

DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ORCHIDS.
 The young man was from the coun- try, and. while he was mighty nice, he wasn't what might be called sophisti- cated. He has been to the hospital to see a friend who was ilb and she look ed so pale and wan that the young man was imbued with the greatest sympathy for her.
 What sort of flowers do you like hest?' he asked as he made ready to so, his tone pregnant with meaning.
 ''Orchids,' replied the i'll woman, faintly
 The young man only knew about orchids in a general way, and no good angel warned him. so he said good-by cheerily, and went at once from the hospital to a florists.
 Got any orchids?" he saked the florist. inelegantly.
 'We haven't any. on hand respond ed that merchant; but we can get you some"
 'I wish you would,' said this mis- guided youth. Get me two dozen, will you, and send them to Miss Blank, at the Hogarth Hospital. Send me the bill when the things are delivered and I'll stop by and pay you
 The florist looked dubious and acqui- eseed to this arrangement, but slowly. His hesitancy caused the young man 8 burst of caution. By the way" said he, 'fllow much will they be?''
 Well, you see we have to send to New York for them, and I would not be surprised if they cost $2 apiece; but I'll try to get them for $1.20 for you.''
 Say" said the youth from the coun- try, T won't give you all that trouble Just send g. dozen American Beauties to the hospital, will you, and I'll pay you now" And he walked out, wiser and sadder man.-Baltimore News.

 thropic Work Through Federatson.
 Many clergyemen throughout the country referred to the International Church Conference on Federation. now being held in New York. in their ser mons Sunday. Rev. Dr. Joseph willis Cochran, of the Northminster Presby- terian Church, was in attendance at the conference last week, and describes the gathering as one of the most remark able he ever attended.
 Nearly 800 delegates were present representing twenty different denomi- nations, said Dr. Cochran, land thA audiences completely filled Carnegie Hall, which seats nearly 4,0OO people. It was 9 stirring sight to see Bishou Doane of Albany, in his knickerbockera fraternizing with black missionary from some foreign field, while the Epis- copalians and Presbyterians got to- gether just as if there had never been an icy wall of historical ecclesiastic- ism between them" Tn his sermon last night Dr. Cochran said:
 As the nations are turning to The Hague tribunal in behalf of a. lasting peace on earth, so the Church turna with anticipation to this conference on federation It is a long lane to the worlds peace, and far cry to a united Christendom, but both are coming. This generation may not see either. but we are face to face with practical protest against sectarian prejudices ana antagonisms that for ages have been rending the Church of Christ.

MRS. ARTHUR HENRY's TREES


 Mrs. Arthur Henry, wife of the nov. elist, probably owns more trees than any other woman in America. Some of them grow on the mile-square tract which the Henrys possess up in the CaItskills, but most of them grow on other peoples land.
 Tree collecting is Mrs. Henry's fad Whenever she sees an especially fine tree she goes to the people on whose land it stands and offers to buy it. Usually, when the owners find that she wishes neither to cut down nor to transplant the tree, but only to feel that 1t is hers, they make her pres- ent of it. Most of her trees are named, and all fthem have their pictures ta- ken and filed away in an immense album.-Washing toon Post.
