uct and she blazed new path in battleship de-
sign. Prior to the advent of this new-pattern
peacemaker the average battleship, whatever her
nationality, had been armed with 12+nch or 49,
inch breech-loading rifles and with variety of
less powerful hitters, including Sinch 5-nch and
3-inch guns, and down through the whole
catalogue of naval weapons to the onepounders.
The British naval architects and shipbuilders
when they produced the original "Dreadnaught,"
pointed the way to policy. In arming the
new style vessel they cut down the number of
guns of lesser importance-particu the weap-
ons of intermediate size, such as the Sinch and
the 5-inch, and placed almost all the RESPONSE
bty for offense and defense on guns of the
largest size
The whole naval world was immensely i'm
pressed with the naval novelty which John Bull
produced and all the leading nations, including
the United States, straightway set about follow
ing his example by constructing such ships of
their own. Thus it about that the name
"Dreadnaught" which originally applied to only
ship, came to stand for the whole family of
"allbg-gun" ships no matter under what flag
such vessel might be In service The United
States now has four battleships of the dread
naught" class in service; two more will probably
be ready 10 join the big fleet within year;
another pair are under construction and yet 9th
will be contracted for this winter. 1t is cost
ing a pretty penny, too, to assemble such an ar
ray of heavyweight fighters, for each of these
argest-size vessels costs complete upward of $12-
900 900. Likewise does it make big tug at
Uncle Sans pursestrngs to keep these huge
armorclads in active service, for each of them
requires the services of nearly thousand Off
GERS and men-half as many again as were re-
quired for the largest of the old-sye battleships.
The FIRST American "Dreadnaughts,' the bat
tleships South Carolina and Michigan, are yet SO
new that few of the people even in our large sea-
coast cities have had peep at them. They are
sister ships-that is, exact duplicates of one an
other-and are 450 feet in length and so feet
beam or width. Each of these battleships carries
eight of the big 12inch guns arranged in pairs in
turrets. This is just double the number of the
big barkers to be found on any Of the battleships
that were the accepted thing up to few years

An atrocious case of human yam.
pire Is reported from Galizana, in Por.
tugal. A young child, son of the local
blacksmith, was missing for several
days, and was found dead in field
near the town. Examination revealed
that the corpse was bloodless. Inquir.
les led to the apprehension of a mer.
chant, Dom Salvarrey, who was last
seen with the child. This man con.
fessed that he had killed the child in
order to drink his blood. He declared
he suffered from pthisis, and had been
told by gypsy that he could only be
cured in this manner. He was assured
that several cures had thus been
made. 1t is surmised that this terrible
outrage was due to the murderer be.

BLAMED DOGS FOR SICKNESS

Disease and the dog were believed

times he had only to venture into the
street to court death. Here is an or
der issued by the authorities at Win

the rest: THAT If any house within
This city shall happen to be infected
with the plague, that then every per-

them to go at large. And If any dog
be then found at large, it shall be law
ful for the Beadle or any other person
ko kill the same dog, and that any own
or of such dog going at large shall lose
six shillings." Among the records Of
Kings Lynn, under May, 1885, appear
ID this: For as much as 1t hath
pleased Almighty God to begin to
send us his visitation with sickness
amongst us, and that dogs and cats
are thought very unfit to be suffered in
this time. Therefore Mr.. Major, al
hermen, and common council have or
dered and decreed that every inhabi'
liant within the same town shall forth

and hang them or kill them and carry
them to some out-place and bury them
for breeding of a great annoyance
And likewise for cats, if there be any
sickness. It is ordered that
the cats shall forthwith be killed In all

In a recent interview.

Savoy in London he went to have a

"'Please tip the basin after using.
This made the man so angry he
rushed from the washroom muttering:
"No, I'll go dirty first
''The New Mexican added that, after
he got his lunch, he tipped the waiter
the walters two helpers, the man who
gave him his hat and gloves, and the
man who whistled for a taxi. The We
hicle rolled out into the Strand, and
our friend leaned back with sigh OF
relief, when he was aware of a boy
in buttons running along beside the
window.
Well, what do you want?' said the
New Mexican savagely.

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby.

If parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains drug-cdfeine-which Is
especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink
When / was a child In my moth
er's arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother used to
give me sips Of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals I
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water.
'And so l contracted the coffee
habit early. / remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground it in the coffee-mill, as a sub
stitute for coffee.
But 1t did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard
of. continued to use coffee until l
was 27, and when l got into office
work, began to have nervous spells.
Especially after breakfast l was so
nervous could scarcely attend to my
correspondence.
"At night, after having coffee for
supper, l could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"a friend persuaded me to try
Postum. My wife and / did not like
1t at first, but later when boiled good
and strong It was fine. Now we would
not give up Postum for the best coffee
