Why France Has More Ships Than

Every American nowadays reads with
lively interest Of naval matters; there
fore an interesting comparison between
the navies Of the world that appears in
the current Harper's Weekly has both
Thickness and value The total number
of ships in the American navy is 16S; in
the navy OF Great Britain, 454; in the
French navy, sos; in the navy of Ger
many, 210, and Japan has 1874. 1t will
thus be seen that while the United
States has the least number of ships of
these five powers, she is still second in
rank by her comparative strength in
battleship tonnage Great Britain's
tonnage is S21 $780, United States, 406-
146; France, 368, 461; Germany, 35S-
461; Japan, 1911 ,499 The reason of the
excess of ships in the French navy is
found in the fact that she has 271
torpedo-boats and 90 submarines, while
England has only II torpedo-boats and
As submarines, and the United States
only 80 torpedo-boats and 10 sub
marines.

Greatly begin! Though thou have time
For but line, be that sublime.
Not failure, but low aim is crime
The soul does not grow to perfection
in an hour or day. The strongest
character does not grow through an I'M
interrupted series Of brilliant successes.
Sometimes it gains, sometimes it loses,
Once it leaps forward over obstacles,
once it falls back, bruised and baf1ed.
Its strength is shown by its courage to
rise and press on. Each day, each year,
it is both nearer the goal and stronger
to advance. Sir Having-Greedy, Lord
Luxurious and Lord Carnal-Deiight per
suade the strong as well as the weak;
the difference is that the strong bethink
themselves, say no and resume supre-
macy, while the weak become com
panions of the feshy tempters. There is
no disgrace in lapses from perfection;
they are the common fate Of saints and
sinners. The shame is in the faced
volitiOn which consents to stay PROSTATE
and fettered. Every earthly intelligence
has its errancy, every human will has it's
frailty. 1t is disease to despair and quit
because of moments failure 1t is
health to smile in hope, to let sorrow be
expressed in richer knowledge of causes
and to give the will closer grip on
action A failure is so much lesson to
the sane mind that for ages the wise
have attributed to many failures the
greatest of successes. Little knowledge
could come from easy going through the
world. Even in commerce it is said that
the big achievements have been made

Queer English Laws.

"NO statute law Of England ever can
be obsolete" legal journal says.
"Once enacted, II continues In binding
force until repealed"
If such be really the case, there
ought to be some lively times ahead
for several classes Of the community.
For instance, what will builders have
TO say to the act which penalties any
person who erects house without at
taching to II at least four acres Of
land? This was one Of good Queen
Bess' laws, and 1t has most certainly
never been repealed.
BY another unrepealed statute, which
dates back to the first year Of King
James L., 1t is enacted that not more
than penny may be charged for a
quart Of the best old ale nor more than
halfpenny for like quantity Of
small beer. The penalty for each in
fraction Of the act Is 20 shillings, so
that If 1t were rightly enforced it
would not need, apparently, licensing
bill to ruin the brewers. Then, again,
a Catholic owning horse is still legal
ly obliged to sell 1t for f5 to anybody
who chooses to offer that sum for it

The First Mournlnu Pan.r.

The Oldest known letter written on
black edged note paper as a sign of
mourning appears to be one dated Jan.
8, 1888. In Addison's comedy of "The
Drummer" 1715, reference is made to
the fashion in the words, my Iady's
mourning paper that Is BACKED at the
edges" A few years later Allan Ram,
say, who died in 1853, speaks in one
Of his poems Of "the sable bordered
sheet" as messenger of sorrow.
Mann, writing from Italy to Horace
Walpole in 1745 says that it was uni
versally used In Florence at that time.
The superior elegance Of this Italian
note paper, with its narrow margin of
black, explains its ready acceptance in
this country. where 1t superseded the
Quarto sheet with black border some
times a quarter Of an inch wide. In
this way 1t probably gave an impetus
to the fashion But 1t is mistake to
suppose, as some have done, that the
fashion was introduced from Italy
