ships. When the four armored cruisers
above named were recently assembled
in Il division under command Of Ad-

the development of the American navy.
Naval authorities have come to recog-
nize more and more the Importance of
armored cruisers Their value was
strikingly shown in the great battle of
the sea of Japan. Admiral Togos force
in this contest was vastly inferior to
that of Admiral Rojestvensky in the
matter Of battleships, but this inferior,
ity was apparently more than offset by
the advantage the Japanese command
err possessed in the number and strength
of his armored cruisers. The latter
proved of incalculable service at the
critical stage Of the fighting The

rector, and as he left the vestry door
after service leaning on the arm of a
pretty young woman l approached
him, raised my hat and asked politely
if he could tell me where Charles and

could not say! And l, forgetting the
day, the place and his sacred office,
cursed that rector for his criminal igno-
rance.

for layers only those hens which will
lay the most eggs in two years. Any
one can see that the formation of
complete egg by a hen is a very differ
ent thing from making butter fat by a
COW. The fat production is the more
simple operation.
Yet the dairy type" does not always
prove a true guide. There are cases
where the use of a BabcOck test has
shown that well shaped cows were
pretty close 10 robbers-'living on their
shape" In like manner the trap nest
has shown that the true egg type" in
a hen is often inside the feathers and
not indicated by the size of the head,
the length of the neck or body or the
general shape 4 trap nest may be
called a Babcock test for Il hen. The
nest is so arranged that when the hen
enters She closes The entrance and must
stay there with her egg until released.
As each hen is numbered on leg band
and cannot get out OF the nest without
help, it is possible to identify every egg
she lays. Some careful tests of this sort
We're conducted at the Utah experiment
station by Professor James Dryden.
The contrast between individual
Brown Leghoyns in those tests is great.
The Brown Leghon in the cut has the
worlds record so far as known. She
laid POI egGs the first year. 241 the sec
ond, 1875 the third and over 100 the
fourth On the other hand, a Brown
Leghorn kept in the same pen and of
course, fed and cared for in the same
way laid only 900 eggs in the four
years, or less than one-third as many
as the other. 1t is singular thing
that the record breaking hen was class
ed as a poor layer by people who pride
themselves on their ability to pick out
q hen by her shape, while the drOne
was selected as good type of layer.
1t will be seen that the hen does not
| carry all her character on the outside.
Mr. Crosgrove of Connecticut from a
number of pictures of the hens tested
at the Utah station selected the hens
with a strong, protruGing breast and a
sharp curve under it as the better lay
ers, but we have found that different
people, when questioned separately,
have different types in mind.-Rural

A Hint For Lovers.

Being "in love" is very different
from loving and may be only selfish
emotion, which is the direct opposite
Of loving. Being in love without low
Ing Is bondage-sometimes pleasant
and sometimes painful, but always
bondage, says Leslie's Monthly. True
loving means freedom-freedom both
for ourselves and, as far as it is In our
power to give it, for all whom we love,
for when we truly love another human
being we love him for the sake of his
best strength, his best use and his best
happiness, and not at all for the sake
Of ourselves.
