THE END.
Keeping the Navy Up to Date.

United States naval officers do not
admit that the monster battleships
planned by Great Britain and Italy
are necessarily more effective than
warships of the Connecticut-Louis-
lana and Michigan-South Carolina
types. Now that fuller details have
reached here regarding the Cuniberti
battleship, with which Italy expects
to outclass the Dreadnought, there is
less disposition than ever to overesti-
mate the Importance of Italy's move.
The assumption that the biggest
battleship can whip one of few hum
dred tons smaller, leaves out of ac-
count the matter of seamanship,
brains, courage, craftsmanship and
relative efficiency. American war
ships may not be as big as the big
gest, but in personnel and equipment
they equal anything af1oat.
Our newest warships have steam
ing radius of 5000 miles, much great
er than that of any other battleships
afoat. This is very important ele-
ment in the fighting efficiency of all
war vessels, and one in which the
large English and Italian battleships
are likely to Wallpapers Weekly.

Necessary Hours of sleep.

The belief that the hours of sleep
should be artifcially restricted is
prevalent. Yet it is contrary to or
binary good sense. If the human
body does not need sleep for the up
building of it's tissues it will lot call
for it. A rule ct health which can
not be wrong is to sleep, if posi-
BILE, as long as any inclination for it
exists.
The erroneous view on this sub
jeet is undoubtedly due to the fact
that when the mind and body are
thoroughly rested it is often difficult
to arouse the mind from it's comfort
able lethargy. On the other hand,
the man who is under a mental
strain and sleeps only five or six
hours at night is keen and alert soon
after awakening. But it is an I'M
healthy activity. His nerves are at
a high tension. He is on edge, so
to speak. Such strain, long con-
tinued, results inevitably in a nerv-
Gus breakdown.-Cle Leader.

CHAPTER XXXv.
The Two Lone Ones.

A few days after VINEYARD Mist
ley's return to London, his brother
Charlie went to Davenport. From
there he wrote that he had been Of
fered the White Swallow, gunboat,
destined for service in the Pacific
Ocean. "Of course have accepted"
he wrote; and gave no particulars as
to when the White Swallow was like
ly to sail, and of what Duration her
absence from England would prob
ably be.
With all his assumed laziness, :"
! observed the colonel gravely, Char
lie will push his way upward through
the truck. He is a fine sailor, l am

That same afternoon Mrs. Mistley
and Mrs. Wright went out together,
in order, they said, to have quiet
afternoons shopping, as there were
many things to be purchased and sent
on to Broomhaugh. The mother and
son had been nearly week in Sey-
mour street, and there was now moth
ing to delay their departure for the
North.
The colonel, being left in charge of
the invalid, proposed drive in the
park, as the air was lovely and the
sun not too warm. But VINEYARD
languidly expressed fear that he
was not quite up to it, innocently ig-
| noring the fact that he had walked
downstairs alone that morning. Then
he lay back on his sofa and gently
closed his eyes. as if composing him
self to peaceful slumber.
Presently the colonel left the room,
treading noiselessly so as to avoid
waking the sleeper Shortly after

smothered bang.

brother, he noticed then that Lena
was no longer the thoughtless, merry

was there, but it was less liable to
the influence of circumstances; the
same healthy power of enjoyment
but it was tempered by greater
thoughtfulness. Something in the

perhaps in newly acquired droop Of

The following significant utterance
is taken from Fisk & Robinson's last
Monthly Bulletin of Investments:
One word as to the agitation for and
against State and Federal control of
corporations. Like all great ques-
.tions which have disturbed the country
in the past there is, without doubt,
much that merits careful considera-
ton in the contentious of the ex-
tremists on each side of this con-
troversy. Undoubtedly middle
ground will, in the end, be found
where all can meet, and the railroad
and other industries of the country
will be established on q better basis
than ever before. The country is go
ing through the throes of great
moral awakening. The outcome, we
are convinced, will be increased Sc
curity for capital invested in the
bonds and stocks Of our great cor
porations, better service to the -ub-
lie and clearer appreciation of the
rights and merits the corporations
themselves.

The following advice is from the
Western School Journal: Never
speak or write of old-time schools in
derision. We are in advance of them
in many ways, it is true, and for that
we are thankful, but our thankful
ness should be largely mixed with
humility. Those were the schools of
our fathers and grandfathers, and
really it must be admitted that they
were and are as lody entitled to
our respect. They did their best in
the light of that tallow candle. Are
we doing as well in the brilliant blaze
shed upon our Path by electricity?
They were slow in reaching an objec-
tive point in their ancient numbering
vehicles. Do we accomplish as much
when we reach our journeys end by
the limited? These are questions
which the youth and middle-aged of
our day should ponder.

lost, the fruits were well preserved
| and among these the colonel spent

results of the journey were, however
kept strictly secret, only the colonel
and a few experts being allowed tc
assist the invalid in the work of put

the news leaked out, and questions
were asked in Parliament, with the
result of acquainting Russia with the
fact that she had been beaten in her
own favorite pastime of Eastern di-
plomacy. Article after article ap-
peared in the Moscow papers, calling
for further investigation into the
carelessness of the avowed Russian
agents in Afghanistan, who could
give no details of the passage of this
dangerous traveller through their
midst. These writings, hot from the
brain of one who; even as these lines
are penned, is being mourned by the
nation he served so well with pen
and press, were issued with the view
of learning more of the results of
VINEYARD Mistley's observations; but
in this object they failed. All that

searching, never TRANSFERRED.

pear. They never quite left him,
however, but remained there, signs
of age upon young face-silent
testimonials of forgotten sufferings.
His appearance had at first been
rather a shock to all who remem-
bered him as he was in former days.
He was not pale, but the dull brown
ness of his face seemed only to ac-
centuate the drawn and weary ex-
preston of his features; through all,
however, and even when he could
not stand unsupported, the brave,
strong look never left his eyes.
1t may have been by sheer force
of will, but his boyish cheerfulness
was as reliable as of old. He laughed
at his own weakness and incapacity
to walk alone; yet his laughter failed
to detract from the pathos of the pic
ture afforded by the colonel assisting
him to move about He laughed at
his own childish helplessness in the
matter of cutting up his food, and
audaciously handed his plate to Lena
for assistance
Altogether he was the most unsat-
isfactory convalescent imaginable, ex-
cept that he made visible and rapid
strides toward health. There was
no demand for lowered tones and
noiseless movements in his presence.
Inquiries after his welfare were
treated loosely, and unless the medi-
cine was administered with severity
and regularity, he was only to ready
to forget all about it. -,

Law Needs Reforming.

1t is plain to Fourth Estate that
the libel law of Louisiana needs re-
forming, since it denies the right OF
trial by jury and restricts the right
of appeal. The case of Dominick
@. O'Malley in the New Orleans Item,
who was pardoned the other day
after spending several months in Jail,
should lead to demand by publish
ers in the State that when one of
their number is charged with Grim
inal libel he should have at least
as fair treatment as the law affords
to sneak thief.
