 Capri, a great twin bumped camel of an island, kneels in the blue just off the Sorrentine peninsula. From the sway backed huddle of white, pink, blue, cream and drab houses along the large harbor up the breakneck road to the fascinating town nestling among the hills, white roofed and Moorish, and on. still higher, by the winding road or up the nearly perpendicular flights of rock stairs which furrow the drowning crag with their sharp, zigzag outlines to Anacapri, 800 feet or so above, every step of the way breathes the pride and splendOr and degradation of the islands greater days.
 Here a cyclOpean mass of shattered masonry in the warm emerald water tells of a Roman emperor's bath, yon. der on a chimney-like cliff the sinister ruins of stout castle keep whispers of ancient garrisons and pirates not armed with automatic rifles or high powered artillery, and here, overlook ing the sea, the vast ruins of villa re call that hairy old goat" Tiberius and his wastral vOluptuOusness that turned fair Capri into satyrdOm.
 Capri today is richly lowered for sightseer, artist, historian, antiQuary and geologist.

Her Fame.

The Duchess of Westminster has the reputation of being the wittiest woman in society. The duchess tells an excel lent story, about an ex-shah of Persia who was very fond of paying compli- ments to English ladies.
 When the Duchess of Westminster was presented he greeted her heartily. T have heard much about you," he said. "Your worthy name is well known even in my country"
 The duchess was surprised at first, then a light dawned upon her. "Gra- ciOus me, do believe he mistakes me for Westminster abbey!' she said. What was more. she was right.

 HUGE FIGHTING MACHINE,

NEWPORT NEWS.-The dread naught Mississippi, which will be one
 of the worlds most efficient anc
 powerful fighting machines was launched here Jan. 25. She was
 christened by Miss Camille Mc-Breath of Meredian, Miss. daughter of J. NJ
 McBreath, member of the National
 Democratic Committee.
 Only the shell of the great sea fighter took to the water but even without armament and machinery i. represents an expenditure of nearl'
 $S,OO0,OOO. When she is ready to take her place in the battle fleet tho government will have spent almost twice that amount on her. The Mississippi will be duplicate of the dreadnaught Pennsylvania ard Arizona, recently commissioned. The new battleship will have a
 maximum speed of 21 knots, will dis
 place 32,OOO tons on trial and 33,O00
 W hen fully loaded, and will have
 length over all of SAP feet. It's en
 zines will be of the Curtis turbine
 type, productive of an estimated h.-p of 32,OO0. Like the other latest bat itlecraft, it will be equipped with oil burning boilers.
 The main battery of the Missiissip- ,pi will be twelve 14-inch 50 calibre rifles placed three to the turret. In addition, there will be twenty-two 5- inch, 51 calibre rapid-fire guns, four 3-inch anti-aircraft rifles, two 21-inch torpedo tubes submerged, and the us- ual saluting guns.

ORIENTAL COURTESY.
An Amssr's Nice Choice of words In
 Speaking of . Fall.


 A good horseman may be thrown from his horse, under some circum- stances, with little or no reflection upon his skill. The accident may have been excusable, even inevitable, when all the details are known; but as cas- ually related the excuses frequently disappear, and the fall, with its ig- nominious suggestion of incompetency, alone remains. Lady St. Heller, in telling of the deep admiration and re- gard entertained by the Ameer of Af- ghanistan for Lord Kitchener. gives a little anecdote of the orientafs instant perception and avoidance of the pos sibility of any humiliating implication for his friend.
 Lord Kitchener had suffered severe accident that resulted in leg so bad ly broken as to necessitate several weeks complete rest at the time, and later. two months furlough in Eng land. and a resetting of the bone. One of Kitchener's staff gave the news of his misfortune to the ameer during a great tiger hunt at Gwalior.
 q told him." the officer wrote Lady St. Heller, "that the chief had a nasty fall at Poona, his horse tumbling down an embankment. He immediately ask ed for a piece of paper and wrote q telegram of sympathy in Persian. He handed it to Sir Henry McMahon anl asked him to send 1t off immediately. Sir Henry wrote it down in English, but when he came to the words to hear of your fall from your horse,' the ameer instantly corrected him, saying:
 "'No, no! Not from your horse with your horse; in Afghanistan-big differencev
