ration of policy to build a navy as
great or greater than Great Britain's

But when we have done that what

You will drive them to it, and after

ernment.
Interests in Capital.
"a hundred million people have no.

Toilette. The munition makers, the

tray before I conclude, are here and
in every capital of the world appealing
to the patriotism of the representatives
of the people to increase the expend-
itures. l have sometimes been con-
strained to think that they were on the
floor of the Senate and House drawing
salaries as members of the two branches

The health department
credits Washington in the
summer time as one of the
most healthful places In the
United States. The fact is
Washington is a pretty de-
sirable place to be in just
now, as no other place in the
world has as many beautiful
shade trees, which greatly
add to the comfort and
beauty of the city in the
summer.
The average persons va

The Island of st. Thomas. In the
West Indies, has near its shores the
Ship Rock, which appears, when seen
from a short distance, like a full
rugged ship under canvas. If the sky
ia clouded and atmosphere hazy the
illusion is remarkable.
There Is told the story OF q mortify-
ing mistake made by q French cor.
vette while cruising in these ATTITUDES
years ago. 1t was at time when the
buccaneers were making great havoc
with legitimate commerce In the West
Indies The coast was partially hid
den by fog when the corvette made
out this rock. and. supposing 1t to 10
a ship under full sail. fired a gun to
leeward to bid her leave to. OF course,
there was no response to the shot.
and the Frenchman brought his ship
closer and cleared the decks for &C
ton.
Satisfied that he had to do with a
powerful adversary he discharged the
whole of his starboard armament into
the supposed ship looming through
the mist Tho corvette went about
and prepared to deliver her port guns
in a similar manner. Then the fog
slowly dispersed. and the rock smiled
grimly on its assailants,
