All Smokers PiIfer Them.
Captain Turner of the Mauretania ia
a firm believer that all smokers, no
matter how honest they may be I'm
business, are constituencies in regard
to pocketing boxes of matches they
have borrowed for light
II have watched all kinds of men
during my career at sea-" said Captain
Turner, "and / have never seen the
match test fail. The worst case ever
knew was an old Liverpool pilot who
used to take a fresh box OF matches
every time he came into my cabin to
light his pipe. One trip watched for
him after the Mauretania was made
fast and had six fresh boxes Of match
es ready for him.
The pilot came In for a yarn, and
l pushed him over box to light his
pipe with. That went into his pocket.
The pipe went out, and / handed over
another box of matches, which also
disappeared. This was repeated until
he had five boxes i'm his pocket, and
when ! pushed the sixth box to him /
remarked, Give me this one back.
George; It's the last box have.
"Well," the captain continued, "he
was the most astonished pilot you
ever saw when he put his hand In the
pocket Of his pea jacket and found
the five boxes of matches there"

The reyolutionists were under the

one night they made an attack on the

they advanced opened fire upon them

and they respectfully submit that as
they help to pay this general pension

victory. Early In the evening the
booming of the cannon at the South

We listened to this battle with intense
interest, knowing that the revolution

University of Wisconsin Establishes
Class For "Fidgety" Students.
How to rest is the newest thing to
be taught in the modern university
Glasses In rest" have just been add
ed to the gymnastic curriculum Of the
University of Wisconsin.
In reporting TO the United States bu-
reau Of education George Wehler. d.
rector Of physical education at the
Wisconsin institution. says:
"We do not go on the theory that
the gymnasium is good for every one
and that therefore every one must
take gymnastics. The purpose of these
classes In rest Is to teach girls who
are restless and fidgety and who grow
weary from the performance of tasks
that ought not to produce fatigue how
to acquire control over their own nerv-
GUS systems"

Said to Be Deficient-Not Ready For
German War-EviIs Will Take Long
Time to Cure.
The book of Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford (retired) on the British ma.
val policy since 1902, which has been
looked forward to with eager interest,
Is out.
The title of the book, 1.-The Be-
trayal," is the keynote of the text. II
contains trenchant attack on the
British naval policy of the last ten
years, the evils of which, the author
says, have gone deep and will take a
long time to cure.
Lord Charles denounces the present
scheme for the education OF officers as
utterly impracticabIe. 1t does not give
the navy skilled engineers, he says,
while the system of cramming exami
nations he considers useless and In
furious.
Where Naval Policy Failed.
Another grave failure of the naval
policy, in the opinion of Lord Charles
Is the policy In regard to cruisers and
torpedo boat destroyers. Eighty OF
these vessels. he says, went to the
scrap heap in 1904. and they have not
been replaced The result of this Is
that these classes in 1900 had fallen
by forty-five and thirty, though simi
lar classes in Germany rose at tile
same time by twenty and forty.
The refusal of the admiralty to con
struct docks fo- the biggest battleships
Is denounced by Lord Charles as be
trayal of public trust. Germany. be
says, has built big docks concurrently
with her battleships, but even now the
vessels of Great Britain are being left
to take chances In case Of emergency.
Thedenuding of the great trade routes
of protecting cruisers and the weaken
ing of the defenses Of the Mediterra
mean through parsimony come under
the lash OF the writer. The whip de-
scends also on the admiralty's appar
ent idea that 1t was building Dread
noughts that would paralyze. foreign
powers. while as a matter OF fact, Lord
Charles declares, 1t has gradually ap
peared that the American, japanese
and German battleships are actually
superior to the Dreadnought in fight
ing power.
Germany Underestimated.
Lord Charles is particularly severe
on the admiralty's admission In 1905
that it had underestimated Germany'i
and overestimated Great Britain!
building capacity. He says that the
admiralty was aware of this fact long
before that time, but suppressed thu
knowledge.
Lord Charles searchingly criticises
the famous admiralty memorandum
dealing with a possible invasion by
Germany and the provision against
such an attack and alleges that there
were grave deficiencies In the coal re
serves, supply of stores and condition
Of docks as well as In the personnel.
He concludes by making the genera

the summons when to commence and
when to quit work, and to those of
us who have listened to this sum-
mons to our duties and >the reiin-

and since ceasing to work for the
company, find ourselves listening to
hear the tones OF the shop bell, for
it sounded as sweet music to our
ears. But this is a fast age. Young

several weeks we have failed to hear
the bell as 1t summoned us to work.
Now we are compelled TO listen only

to the more modulated tones of the
