Lord Rosebery, eX-premier, made a
grave, eloquent and alarmist speech to
London congress of journalists a
short time ago. The outlook In Eu
rope, he declared, was ominous and
even appalling. The preparations for
war everywhere were on a tremendous
scale, and little England was being
pressed hard to defend her liberties AS
well as the liberties of her colonies
across the seas. She would go on
building war ships as long as she had
a shilling to spend, but would that be
enough? Would that avert the dam
ger Of reaction? Europe is "rattling
herself into barbarism," and the great
question is how that calamity can be
avoided. There are few observers in
europe VINO Will indorse this disheart-
ening view of the situation or outlook.
The frenzied naval competition spells
terrific waste, but 1t does not spell
barbarism. Even the most militant
champions of big-navyism loudly dis
evow aggressive designs. Peace and
protection of commerce are every
where the declared objects of the ele.
ments opposed to limitations of arma-
ments or budgets. Germany fears
British control of all foreign trade,
but every one of her responsible states
men denies that she is preparing for
war. France Is determined to keep
the peace and has given up all notion
of "revanche." 1t is deeply to be re-
gretted that the powers cannot agree
on sensible plan of armament limi-
tation, but nothing will be gained IN

The woman who Never Reads.


Il love my mother-in-law," said a
young woman recently, "but a visit
from her almost gives me nervous
prostration. She is kindness itself,
would do anything for me, except
leave me alone five minutes at q
time. She is one of those uncomfort-
able people who never reads, but sits
with her hands folded hour after hour
and expects to talk or be talked to.
My children are going to be readers If
/ have to beat love of books into
them"
There are few characteristics more
trying than not to read. If you do
not love books for their own sake,
cultivate a taste for them in the in
terest OF your own popularity. The
woman who never reads is rarely a
popular guest She is dead weight
on her hostess and wears thin the ut
most hospitality. If you have friend
IN your house who, you know, is only
too pleased to get chance at book,
you do not worry about her entertain
ing.
Every housekeeper has duties that
must be attended to, and to hustle
them through while stranger waits
idly for your return, is conducive to
nerve strain. Conversation, like bon
bonS, should be taken in moderation.
About the only one that can thorough
ly enjoy unlimited chatter is a men,
Der of the monkey tribe. To talk the
clock around generally means words
not ideas. Even though the woman
who never reads has fondness for
the needle, 1t does not help the har-
assed entertainer much. Besides be-
ing bore to others, the woman who
never reads generally is bore to her.

The Burnside was sent north along
the coast of Alaska to repair the ca

difficulty had been experienced in send

Burnside picked up the cable connect

Cooks Inlet, not far from Sitka. The
crew never had such a time hauling
cable on board as they did that
day on the Alaska coast. Finally the
cause of the great weight was found.

Unable to shake the big wire from
the mass of whalebone in its Jaws the
big fish turned turtle, rolled over
once, turned around, rolled again and
dived. In these few movement the
fish proved himself his own hangman,
for the cable was twisted tighter about
the head of the whale than any NOR
tai could have done with the most pow-
erful machinery.
The whale drowned and the carcass
was devoured on the oceans bottom by
other fish. The crew of the Burnside
hauled up a great load of whalebone

cause OF the unusual difficulty in send.
