 To my mind. however. the most in- teresting of all the relics are not the clothes which the little great man wore, but those autograph writings in which he records his movements in the presence of the enemy during what were to be the last days of his life. He seems to have presaged that his death was near, as one reads them now. A pious submission to what ever issue lay in store for him, and determination to do and dare all for the safety and honor of his beloved country-no more Japanese contempt of death or recklesness of life, but a Christians fortitude-it is this that one finds entered there in his large hand. And, most affecting human document of all, there is the codicil to his will, dated the day of his death, In which he comends to the bounty of the nation Lady Hamilton, on the grounds of public services rendered by her in supplying him with valuable infOrma- tion on several occasions which he specified.

 supposing the thief who stole some of the Nelson relics last year had talk en his brooches, what punishment would have fitted that crime? Here they lie at gaze in the Painted Hall at Greenwich, and ones first thought on seeing the dear, tattered, diminu- tive things is: How small they are!" That is, if you are grown up. When I was taken there by a hero worship ping father some years ago did not notice the size of them at all. Sufti- cient for my boyish eyes that a great man" had worn them, and I peered inc to their resting place in the glass case with that vague feeling of delight and awe known only to childhood. Since then I have learned the unhappy trick of moralizing and making comparisons, which comes to adult age and passes for wisdom.
 They are small, of course, one says, but then-here Montalgne to the res" cue-"a little man is whole man, all the same. Such was mythought as I stood before them again, few days ago.

NEW CHANNEL.

It is now confidently expected that vessels will be making use of the new Ambrose channel in New York harbor before next summer has ended. Rapid has been made in the last two months the most rapid work in its history. ging out sand from the bottom of the lower bay. During the month of Octo- 74O,000 cubic yards of material. Of this vast amount 368,00O yards were dug by two government dredges, Atlantic and Manhattan, the remainder being the output of the two dredges owned by the contractors. This total exceeds by 8 great many thousand cubic yards the best record for any previous month.
 The government engineers, who are cooperating with the private contrac- tors in the work, propose to complete g. channel S5 feet deep and 1000 feet wide. After this waterway has been prepared they will proceed with the channel as originally planned, 2,OO0 feet wide and 40 feet deep. It is the smaller channel which the government
 engineers hope to have ready for navi-
 gation next spring. Up to date the total of 17579,4S5 cubic yards have been re- moved. The entire project calls for the removal of about 100000 cubic yards of material.
 Now that this project is approaching completion the question of adequate defenses for the new channel comes
 up, but it appears that Congress refuses to give the money necessary for this protection. Military strategists say that new shore defenses are necessary They say that Ambrose channel will take incoming ships a distance of three

YOUNG MEN AS DREssNfAKERs. Attractive young men stand at the head of many of the most famous dressmaking houses.
 Doeuillet is one of the most typical of the group. He is housed in one of the historical palaces of the Place Ven dome, where he has the most superb establishment in Paris. The work turned out harmonizes with the setting. Elaborate confections are Doeuillet's speciality, his prices are monumental. and his clientele is made up from what one of his rivals has called ''the swell rnob,'' meaning the rich and extraya- gant as distinguished from the exclu- sive and chic. .. @@s
