fair sporting chance.
Tirpitz saw this and rose to the &C.
casion. With the thoroughness as

the national spirit is aroused, he set
about his task. 1t was an economic

and the like, also of circumventing
the watchdogs of the socialist party
In the reichstag.
1t was uphill work at first, but for
tune favors the stubborn. At the mo.
ment when Tirpitz was struggling to
win over popular opinion to the sup.
port of his policy and was finding it
difficult by reason of the increasing
burden of taxation which a big ship
programme was settling upon the
shoulders of the nation, there came in
1899 the Bundesrath incident, when a
German mail packet was seized by an
English man-of-war. That turned the
patriotic tide and the naval law Of
1900 was the first result. Honors
showered upon Rear-Admiral Won Tir.
pitt and some big warships were laid
down forthwith. The launching of
these ships a few years later made
Tirpitz a full admiral and the supple.
mentary naval bill of 1907 won him
the imperial order of the Black Eagle.
He has been state minister of the adj
miralty since 1901.
A shrewd, practical man of plebeian
origin Che was born at Kustrin in
1849), Admiral Won Tirpitz has gained
his naval knowledge at sea, in actual
service and under circumstances
which have shown him the necessity
to the Fatherland Of possessing such
a fleet as present plans contemplate.
A cadet at 16, at 20 a lieutenant and
at rs a lieutenant-commander, after
20 years of service he was flying the
pennant of a rear-admiral and was
known as a responsible officer, with a
habit of thinking for himself and a
wholesome contempt for the tradi
lions of bureaucracy.
To-day, with the climax of his ca
reer in sight, his most radical and am.
bilious ideas adopted at home and
studied with wonder abroad, Admiral
Won Tirpitz may still look forward tc
many years of active official life.
He is intimately acquainted with the
resources of every naval shipbuilding
yard on the face of the globe.

MANY USES OF TISSUE PAPER
Especially Is 1t Valuable When Pack
ing a Trunk-How 1t May
Be Applied.

We cannot overestimate the value
of tissue paper If we are Of the trav-
cling public. While it is delight
fully careful and neat to own a vast
array Of shoe bags, one to the pair,
and bags and %slipcovers galore for
parasols, hair brushes and each thing
we want to separate from every 9th
er, the fact remains that they take
up a far too generous proportion OF
our trunk space. Tissue paper, which
is a very good substitute, takes up
none Of the valuable room and is in
no way open to criticism. 1t Is clean,
white and dainty; quantities Of 1t are
available at any time, and there is
no better material for filling sleeves
and tucked or pulled gowns to keer
them from crushing. Tissue paper
should be crumpled and poked into
ribbon or lace hat bows and among
hat flowers, and should surround the
hat itself to keep it from fiattenine
against the sides of the box or trunk
lid.
Each pair Of dainty gloves and all
neckwear should be separately
wrapped. Layers of 1t to separate
the varied contents Of the trunk will
make the terrible business of unpack
ing less difficult.
Travellers who have packed with
tissue paper have been quite wor
ever to its use.

Panieres and crinollne.

Silks, satins and brocades are at
once suggested by the newest models,
and not the soft, clinging fabrics so
wonderfully adapted to the graceful,
close fitting designs. Materials that
can stand alone, the old-time standard
of excellence, will one again be in
demand, and unless there is a more
concerted plan of action among all
women where taste in dress stands for
authority, there is really grave dan.
ger of paniers and even crinoline be-
ing seriously considered. This has
been threatened time and again, but
has always at the last moment failed
to materialize; SO it is to be hoped
this time again the fashion will be
killed before it becomes established.

The Marital Grasshopper.

What is a grasshopper? The latest
definition comes from western Aus
tralia. Domestic servants are almost
u~nprocurable there, and wives have to
do nearly all their own household
work. The consequence is that they
are compelled torecuperate at the sea.
side in summer. In their absence the
husbands have to prepare their own
meals and do domestic duty generally.
Husbands so engaged have come to be
locally known as "grasshoppers." No
doubt the word is the husband of the
more familiar grass widow."-Lon-
don Chronicle.

ADM|RALVON T|RP|Tz
He Is the Man Who Keeps Eng
land Awake Nights.
German Master Mariner Has Reused
the FatherIand to Unexampled En-
thusiasm for Dominion-A
ShreWd, Practical Man.

New York.-Among the distin'
guished officials who accompanied
Prince Henry, the kaiser's brother, on
his visit to America in 1902, was Ad-
miral Alfred Won Tirpitz, the German
secretary of state for the navy. Tall,
burly, bearded, Ne~ptune-like, appar-
emily in the prime of life, though
really approaching the age limit OF
three score years, the impression
made by the personality Of Germany's
master mariner was one level to be
forgotten.
Since then the name of Admiral
Won Tirpitz has gone round the world.
He is the %redoubtable builder of all
big-gun battleships who causes Brit
ain so many ~sleepless nights. He is
the man who has reused the Father
land to her opportunity and potential
destiny. The most illustrious of liv-
ing ministers of marine, he is inspirer
of that national obsession of sea SUI
premacy through which Germany has
become by a few years of persistent
and systematic effort the second naval
power in Europe to-day.
With feverish ardor, yet in silence
and comparative secrecy, since the So
called Dreadnaught era, Germany has
been building battleships-jumping
suddenly from 10000 tons to $4,000
and more; widening and deepening
the Kiel canal and fortifying her
whole Baltic and North Sea coast
lines until they bristle with great
guns and mining defenses; fighting in
the reichstag for an unprecedented
naval budget, restlessly and indefati-
gably drawing on the state economies
to build gigantic battle engines, fast
armored cruisers, invincible torpedo
boats-a navy, in short, calculated
within a closely fixed time to rival
that of England both numerically and
in positive combative strength.
The evolution of the Dreadnought
type, which rendered virtually obso'
lete most of the ships not only of Ger
many but of England as we'll, evened
up matters among the rival maritime
powers. 1t gave them Unexpectedly
an opportunity to enter the grand

In public affairs your milk and wa

There once was a statute in England
