heard to enark when ais wife on
the DAD to 20 caught the plate before
it fell n held it high above her
head, You may carry all the wood
after this" Singing with piano n
guitar and the ever willing phono-

OLD NAVY NAMES REVIVED.
Britain's New Destroyers to Be Call.
ed After Former Ships.

From the London Times.
The names of the torpedo boat destroy
ers in the current naval programs have
now been given out. Twenty boats were
ordered, and the names chosen for them
are as follows: Acorn, Alarm, Brisk,
Cameleon, Comet, Goldfinch, Fury, Hope
Larne. Lyra, Martin, Minstrel, Nemesis,
Nereido, Nymphe. Redpole, Rifleman,
Ruby, Sheldrake and Staunch. Each of
these names has been borne before by a
warship of the British navy. and more
than one will be familiar to the present
generation as having been the names of
torpedo gunboats, sloops and other small
craft launched between 1870 and 1892.
The first name, Acorn, was last sgiven
to a sloop built In 1884. this vessel being
tive service she was principally employed
in the Pacific and. on the southeast coast
of America. She disappeared from the
navy In 1900. 1t is just 100 years since
the first ship known as the Acorn was
passed into service.
Alarm is still older warship name, the
first vessel to bear it being launched in
