four light cruisers and IL de-
stroyers, with an undisclosed number
of submarines. Is disappointingly
meager Judged by the admiralty's
own standards, 1t is quite insufficient.
No provision, other than a slight ac-
celebration of the battleship program, is
made to fill the gap left by the delay
in voting of the Canadian dread
naughts. And yet, as Mr.. Churchill
said last year. these three ships are
absolutely required from 1916 EDWARDS
for the whole world defense Of the

eyes to water, he smacked his lips
with great relish. After he had paid
the check the cashier turned to one
OF the patrons who was still laughing
at the incident.
You know what the old woman

tory salutation upon the countenance
of the bovine" he said. THAT old
fellow isn't near as bad as some I've
seen in here. What do you think Of a
person who puts linseed oil on beef
steak, or one who eats raw liver with
chopped onions? We have two GUS
toners who DO this repeatedly and
both insist that there is nothing to
take the place of these dishes.
AThe limit though, l think, is
reached by an old recluse who comes
here sometimes He has a great appe-
tite for raw sauerkraut, old-fashioned
cup cheese and all the rest of those
Dutch dishes. One day l saw him
take a paper from his pocket and
shake something into plate of bean
soup. From where was sitting it
looked like sweet marjoram, and so
when he came to the desk l told him
that 1t wasn't necessary for him to
carry his seasoning around In his
pocket, as the walters would give him
all he wanted.
He didn't appear to understand and
when I explained, he said: oh, my!
no, that wasn't sweet marjoram,' and
he pulled the paper from his pocket
and exhibited the contents to me. 1t

Perfect FRIENDSHIP.

There Is nothing more sacred than
friendship, and 1t is impossible to pro-
fame 1t by drawing the veil from it's
ministries. The charm of perfectly
noble companionship between two
souls is as real as the perfume Of a
Hover. and is impossible to convey by
word or speech; nature has made its
sanctity inviolable by making it for
ever impossible to revelation and
transference. l cannot translate into
any language the delicate charm, the
inexhaustible variety. the noble fidel-
ity of truth, the vigor and splendor of
thought, the unfailing sympathy Of our
ardent friendships; they are party
OF the forest, and one must seek them
there.-Hamilton Wright Mabie.
