The rain came down in torrents,
and the hail, large in size, was
blown with terrific force against the
windows, shatteriing them and doing
great damage to goods in the stores
and inside of residences. Many trees
were blown down, signs went smash

ship North Dakota, the first OF the
American t'Dreadnoughts" to be laid
down, is now practically 80 per cent
completed. It was said that on Aug.
g., one year after the contract was
signed, forty-seven per cent had been
finished, and since then some three
per cent of the work has been dis
posed Of. So far the building has
progressed at record speed for this
country, and the! company expects to
have the ship ready to deliver to the
navy department late next year, fully
six months ahead OF, the contract
time set for her completion, which Is
July IS, 1910.
The contract requires the North
Dakota to be ready for delivery with,
in thirty-four and one-half months
from the; date Of signature. While
the government cut the time for the
work considerably lower than has
been the custom for battleships the
company is determined to tear off at
least one-half a year from the re.
quirements. Should It succeed, the
shipbuilding records for heavy fight
ing vessels would be iEdorsed with
new red letter entry. The North

Judging from the size OF the craft and
the elaborateness Of It's appointments,
belonged TO some noble and wealthy

long and 16 feet inches broad, was
dug out of a tumulus, two and half

has led to the conclusion that the fu-
neral ship belongs to the ninth CEN
fury.
Many of the ornaments, mostly of
carved wood, are unique. The ship
and its strange cargo, constituting one
of the most important archaeological
finds ever made in Scandinavia, after
being carefully restored. will be placed
In the Christiania museum.

Dialect Of New York Newsboys.

Although Irish and German boys
have largely disappeared from the
ranks of the newsboys of the city hall
district, their successors, Italian, Jew
fish and Greek, speak the dialect Of
their predecessors, says the New York
Sun. That dialect was the result Of
the give and take mingling Of the
Irish-American and German.American
accents, resembling neither. It estab-
lished dialect which has imposed II.
self upon class, a language by itself
which the late recruits into the army
OF newsboys acquire sometimes by
painful conscious effort, sometimes, in
the case Of the very young, uncon.
sciously. The result is remarkable in
that the trained ear can detect among
those who speak that language no
trace Of the Italian or Jewish accent,
so plainly observed in the speech of
their elders. 1t is a fixed language,
expressive, clear and musical, consist
ing of about $50 words.

Our Real Army.

No nation ever can or ever did main
tain at all times a standing army suf-
ficiently great to defend Itself against
all other powers. The strength and
the dependence of every government
is in her citizen soldiers, and is in
exact proportion to their bravery and
effectiveness. The state militia" or

Landwehr and the Landsturm in Ger.

called, is a most grotesque specimen
of the vegetable kingdom even at the

growth. In its very young days It is
of an extraordinary screwlike shape,
and looks as though some kind of

swordlike leaves and twisted them
round and round. Later 1t straight

hard red and yellow kernels, woody

a Europeans point of view.

Difference Of Opinion,

Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson thinks that
American women, with the possible
exception of Chicago women, are too
much interested in their own indiyid-
uality and think too little of the COM
munity, in other words are lacking in
civic pride. In England, she says,
there is not the sharp line between
mems interests and womens interests,
but the policemen who are detailed
to keep the ladies out of the house
of commons may have different
opinion on the subject.

 The ambassador closed the silver box the better to examine the white falcon upon its lid. Then he swung about and confronted Armitage.
 Where is he, monsieur" he asked, his voice sunk to a whisper. his eyes sweeping the doors and windows.
 'The Archduke Karl is dead; his son, Frederick Augustus, whom these con- spirators have imagined me to be-he, too, is dead"
 You are quite sure-you are quite sure, Mir. Armitage?"r
 "I am quite sure"
 That is not enough. We have right to ask more than your wordv'
 ''No, it is not enough replied Armi- tage quietly. Let me mGke my story brief I need not recite the peculiari- ties of the archduke-his dislike of con- ventional society, his contempt for sham and pretense. After living her init life at one of the smallest and most obscure of the royal estates for several years he vanished utterly. That was fifteen years ago"
 Yes; he was mad, quite mad" blurt- ed the baron.
 That was the common impression. He took his oldest son and went into exile. Conjectures as to his where abouts have filled the newspapers sporadically. ever since. He has been reported as appearing in the south sea islands, in India, in Australia, in vari- ous parts of this country. In truth, he came directly to America and estab- lished himself as farmer in western Canada. His son was killed in an ac- cident; the archduke died within the year."
 Judge Claiborne bent forward in his chair as Armitage paused. What proof have you of this story,
