The British are about to begin the
construction of the largest heaviest,
most powerful and most costly battle
ship ever built, and intend to have
the pennant flying from ner mast with
In sixteen months after the date on
which the first keel plates are laid.
This invincible and invulnerable war
vessel Is to be named Dreadnought,
and the British admiralty has designed
her to be capable of equaling her
name. She will mount more heavy
guns than any two battleships now
af1oat; will be able to withstand an
attack from submarine, and If she
happens 70 touch off a floating mine
Will be able to continue afloat until
a port Is reached. In addition to these
enviable virtues, the Dreadnought will
also have great speed, and, if she
wants to turn tail' her engines, de-
veloping speed of 21 knots an hour,
will enable her to outdistance any too
pressing foe. Even II overtaken, the
very thick armor plating will enable
her to stand unusual punishment, and
for dealing with torpedo boats she will
have small battery of one-pounders
and six-pounders. She will also be
armed with torpedo tubes, but will be
unique in having no secondary bat
terry.
No details Of the armor to be placed
on the Dreadnought have been given,
but 1t is known that she will be the
most completely armored ship afloat.
Her armor alone will weigh about g.
600 tons. In gunpower the Dread
nought is designed to be the most for
midable warship ever seen. No bat
tleship In the world to-day carries
more than four Pinch guns, but the
Dreadnough will mount no fewer than
ten, or two and half times as many
as any ship afoat This enormous bat
terry Of 12-inch rifles will have COM
bined muzzle energy of 100000 foot
tons. Each Of these big guns will

combined battery being able to throw
over four tons Of projectiles at one
discharge. The Dreadnought will be
able to throw this immense weight of
metal a distance of five or six miles,
at which range the shells would pierce
the armor Of practically any batteshlp
afloat.
Progress in Battleships.
There has been wonderful ad-
vance in the development of battle
ships within the last ten years. In
1895 Great Britain had twenty three
armored ships each of more than 10,-
600 tons. To-day, if there are includ-
ed the ships being built, she has sixty.
In 1895 the heaviest British battle
ship was the Royal Sovereign, of a.
26O tons. There were eight ships of

Among the other results of contin-
ued national prosperity is the increase
in the number Of young men who are
acquiring college education. He is
poor man, indeed, who cannot send
his son to college nowadays. This is
markedly true in the West. where all
the higher institutions of learning re-
port an enrolment Of unprecedented
size. All classes Of people farmers,
merchants, mechanics-have pros
pered beyond expectation, and the first
thought of an American in such cir
cumstances is to give his son a col
lege education, which is supposed to
mean better chance in life than q
common school education affords.
There is some difference Of opinion
respecting this conclusion, but most
people will agree that, other things be-
ing equal, the man with a good educa-
ton will have an advantage over the
man with deficient education or with
no education at all. We may easily
see, however, that the number of col.
lege-bred men may exceed the number
Of professional or business open
ings available for educated men.
In that contingency the question
would arise: What shall we do
with our college graduates
1t is easy enough to say that col
lege man will make a better truck
man or hod-carrier or street car con-
ductor than an illiterate man. But
will the college man, In default of
professional employment, go to work
as truckman or hodcdrrier or q
street car conductor? That is the
crucial question. If he will not do SC
what is to become Of him? We can.
not all be merchants or doctors OF
| lawyers or scientific men. Some OF
us must be Gibeonites-some of us
must do the worlds hard, disagree
able work; some of us must hew wood
and draw water. With the present
spread of college and university edu
cation the time seems not far distant
when all of us will be competent tC
fill the higher posts in life and very
much disinclined to accept the hum
bier ones. When we reach that stu
alton the question Of employing oul
college graduates will become one Of
paramount Importance. One solu
ton of that question may be the re
duction of the output Of the colleges
1t will hardly be worth while to teacl
man Latin and Greek and the highe
mathematics in order to prepare hin
for ditch-digging-especially If he re
fuses to dig bitches.

The meanest thing a woman can do
is to give dabs. A dab, lest some
man creature should inquire, Is a re-
mark implying a slight-just enough
of slight to hurt, without being suf
ficient to resent. The giving of dabs
is an essentially feminine trait; and
one woman may make another exceed
ingly unhappy by exhibiting it. The
reason men do not give dabs is be-
cause they have been about enough
to see the foolishnss of 1t. Any
woman who has been around much
sees the same, for the matter of that.
But fewer women have been around.
Until they get around, their penchant
for dabbing will remain, for getting
around makes one get busy in the
head. A dab is the natural output of
a head with nothing more important
TO do. The mind must find activity
somewhere, and housekeeping, or run
ming the cook leaves a good deal of
excess vitality in a woman's head. So
she uses it up in dabs. Oh, yes, dab
bing takes head work. Some dabs are
vastly clever. But isn't it too bad to
spend good life in making others un-
happy? Here Is the cure: Get busy
in the head. AS an inducement to take
ito those who need tit may be
added that dabbing ends IN making
the dabber far more unhappy than
1t makes the dabbed. For the cordial
dislike of a large collection of dabbed
ones is no nice thing to encounter,
and such a collection Is easy to ac-
quire, since no one is so faultless as
to be undabbable. This earth is full
Of women with mental capacity far
above their jobs. No, housekeeping
cannot be successfully done by a
stupid person. 1t takes head, unde-
niably. But 1t doesn't often take all
the head woman has. Hence dabs
Now, If you don't believe this, get in
a crowd of women and listen. If you
don't hear something enlightening
you've poor ears. And then, If you
are a woman without sufficient men,
tai employment, get busy in the head.
