“a | | 1 | | ¥ ” MEN-OF-WAR. Are Now Faster Than the Liners. With the exception of torpedo boats and a few small nleasure craft, says a writer in Cassier’s Magazine, the American-bnilt Russian cruiser Va. riag is today the fastest vessel afloat, having recently gone through a seven and a half hours’ trial run at a speed of from 23.6 to 23.7 knots, or 27.14 to 27.25 miles an hour. We need go back only a few years to fiud a time when the large Atlantic racers, in point of regularly attainable speed, were far beyond anythixg that had ever been done in any navy, and their perform- ances were considered practically be- yond reach under the severe condi tions of cramped space, light machin- ery weight, and others similarly re- strictive to the designer. The United States triple-screw cruiser Minneapolis about six years ago developed slightly more than 23 knots during her con- tract trials. As in the cases of most naval vessels, it was not expecteu that would be demanded hour after hour in a run of several days, and 1895 practical demonstration was given for the first time t a naval vessel could actually hold her own with one of the crack Atlantic liners. This was afforded by the United States cruiser Columbia in her phenomenzl run from the Needies, near Southampton, to Sandy Hook ightship, off the American shore, in a few minutes less that seven days, or, to be exact, in 6 days, 23 hours and 49 minutes, the average speed for the whole trip be- ing 18.54 knots, or 21.3 miles an h The Columbia at the time was prac- tically racing against the steamer Au- gusta-Victoria of the Hamburg-Amer- ican line. Making proper allowance for the difference in the length of the two routes, the Augusta-Victoria hav- ing sailed from Cherbourg, the same rate of speed was maintained by botn ships. Since that time high-speed, long-distance runs of war vessels have been repeated, so that the im- pression has at last been wiped out that modern warships were simply boxes full of delicate and complex ma- chinery scarcely fitted tor the hard knocks which they were really in- tended to withstand. But among ail the swift cruisers and battleships, the Variag’s 23.7 knots give her today first place, Atlantlo “USE OF ENGLISH.” Licttona.y Rightly Used, Next in Tater: est to Bible. Richard Burton in writing in East and West of “The Use of English,” saysi “Werds, like men, have their ‘strange eve il histories,’ and, again like men, one word in its time ‘plays many parts.’ jow the ups and downs of a s proper rnoun—a stupid name since recr is as oftea 2s rot improper 2 nee doubly fas- cinating—or of a commca boun— named with equal stupidity, since its li neommon— s often as 1 or a football ws that tke piehend mpieh ga dictionary ps the Bible. Holmes knew this when he made the Autocrat say: ‘Whea I fee! inclined to read poetry I take down my dicticnary, The poetry of words is quite as beautiful as that of sentences. The author may arrange the gems effectiveiy, but their sha) and luster have been given by the at- trition of ages. Bring me the finest simile from the whele range of im- aginative writi and I will show you a single word which conveys a more profound, a more accurate ard a more eloquent analogy.’ Emerson had the same feeling when he wrote: ‘It does not need that a peom should be long. Every word was once a poem.’” A Coffee Barometer. It is claimed that the “coffee” fore- east is a relisble way of determining what the weather is going to be. In order to tell what the weather is going to be you must drop carefully into your morning cup of coifee, prepared with a little milk, two lumps of sugar, Do not s the cofft If the bubbles ascend rapidly, separate quickly and fly to the side of the cup, there will be much rain within the next twenty- four hours. I? they gather closely and gravitate in a cluster to the side only possible showers may be expected. But if they remain placidly in the cen- ter of the cup you may wear your best hat and leave your umbrella at home when you take your walks abroad, . Telephone Without Wires. At the meeting of the British Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Science at Bradford, England, Sir William Preece, ex-president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, announced that he had successfully transmitted speech eight miles across sea without the aid of wires and that the establishment of such a system for commercial com- munication was practicable between ships and land. Sir William Henry Preece made several experiments last year with an induction system of wire- Jess telephoning, signaling across the Menai straits and using telephones at both ends to receive the signals. Simplicity of Emperor Joseph. The personal habits of Emperor Francis Joseph are marked with sol- dier-like simplicity. His food is of the plainest, such as an ordinary citizen consumes. He retires at 9 o'clock every night and sleeps on his iron field ped. At the age of seventy he is still able-t ton t and overcome the per- plexing’, { culties that are peculiar to the: -Austro- Hungarian empire, and his great!goodness of heart has won him: unt al love throughout the em- pire, Stee ete CA MOE ALASKA FLOWERS, A Well-Known Lover of Nature Tells Us About Them. John Burroughs, the well-known bird lover and naturalist, describes in the Country Magazine a trip that he made to Alaska. Among other things he says: “But we all climbed the mighty emerald billow that rose from the rear of the village, some of us re- peatedly. Irom the ship it looked as smooth as a meadow, but the climber soon found himself knee-deep in ferns, grasses and a score of flowering plants, and now and then pushing through a patch of alders as high as his head. He could not go far before his hands would be full of flowers, blue predomi- nating. The wild geranium here is light blue, and it tinged the slopes as daisies and buttercups do at home. Near the summit there were patches of most exquisite forget-me-ncts, of a pure, delicate hue with a yellow cen- ter. They grew to the height of a foot, and a handful of them looked like something just caught out of the sky above. Here, too, were a small, delicate lady’s-slipper, pale yellow striped with maroon, and a pretty dwarf rhododendron, its large purple flower sitting upon the moss and lichen, The climber also waded through patches of lupine, and put his feet among bluebells, Jacob’s-ladder, iris, saxifrage, cassiopes and many others. The song birds that attracted our notice were the golden-crowned sparrow and the little hermit thrush. The golden crown had a peculiarly piercing, plaintive song, very simple, but very appealing. There were only three notes, but they were from out the depths of the bird’s soul. In them was all the burden of the mystery and pathos of life. INCORRECT NAMES. Game LEirds of America Misnamed by Hunters. It is remarkable that most of the game birds in the United States are known by names which are not honest- ly theirs. A man talks of going quail shooting or pheasant shooting. Neither of these birds is native to America, and the sportsman means he is going after partridges and grouse. There are indeed some pheasant preserves in the country, but in spite of assertions to the contrdry the quail does not live on the North Ameyican continent, ae- cording to the authority of D. G. El- liott in Outing. In the first place, quail are much smaller than partridges. The main differences, however, between the two much-confused birds are: The bill of the true quail is small, weak, entirely different from the strong Dill of the English partridges and of our own “Bob White.” and the groove of the nostril is mostly feathered. Tue nostril of the American ‘“quail’—really r.rtridge—is uncovered. Partridge legs are scaly and _ spurred, while quails’ legs are never so adorned. The quail’s tail is short, the feathers soft and light and not half so long as the wing. The partridge’s tail has from sixteen to eighteen feathers and fs de- cidedly stiff. All the birds here gen- erally called quail, from the Bob Whites, the Mcssena quail, the crested and plumed quail of the southwest, to those tf the Pacific coast, are really partridges, as will be found by judging them scientifically. The ruffed grouse rarely receives its correct name, being eajled partridge or pheasant, accord- ing to lceality. The grouse is known by the fact that its legs are always completely or partially feathered over. The partridge never has feathers on its legs. Girl Tramps Are Numerous. New Jersey has come to the front with a product entirely its own. It is nothing less than the female tramp, dressed in boy’s ciothing and stealing rides on freight trains. She is be- coming common. Recently “James” Robinson of Philadelphia was released from the county correction farm at Trenton on payment of a $3 fine, the money having been sent here by tele- graph from Fhiladelphia. “James” is a girl about 16 years old. She was arrested by a railroad detective and sent to the farm chained to six tramps. When captured she had a large revol- ver strapped to a belt around her waist, and upon being questioned promptly admitted her sex. She re« fused to give her name, but said she was trying to reach the home of her uncle in New Brunswick. The justice committed her to the stone quarry for thirty days in Gefauit of the $3 fine imposed. This is the third girl tramp the detectives have arrested at the coal chutes within a few days, The Home Interest of Children, Unquestionably children are the clearest facts on which we build our social structure of the future, but it should be held axiomatic in all such social reform work that the home idea is inseparable from every problem into which child life enters. Separate a child’s life from his home, no matter how wretched his home, no matter how worthy the interest in the abstract, and you have made the poor little in- dividual a seat of discord. You have set him at odds with the life in which resides his origin and support; you have created in him a social tendency that threatens our political constitu- tions.—Harper’s Bazar. Colonel Cochrane’s Record. Colonel Henry Clay Cochrane, who bas been ordered from his post at the Boston navy yard,to the command of the marine forces in China, is a Penn- sylvanian by birth, He has seen thirty-cight years’ service in the corps, and is one of the veterans in the serv- ice. He received his appointment in the early part of the civil war, and participated in the battle of Mobile bay and other engagements, PICTURESQUE IN POLITICS. Spectacular Domonstrations in Presiden- tial Campaigns. The first time that there were any demonstrations of a spectacular order in a presidential campaign was in 1840, when niature log cabins were drawn sens in the Whig processions, escorted by companies of men in coon- skin caps, and some in the garb of In- dians, all of which were suggested by y life of the candidate, William son. Companies of men dressed as pioneers appeared in the Fremont processions in the campaign of 1856, 2nd “prairie schooners” were & feature of these demonstrations, illus- trating phases in the life of the Path- finder the Rocxies and the Sierra Nevadas. In 1869 the Republicans had cempanics of rail-splitters, to repre- sent Lincoln in one of his activities as a young man on the frontier. The most picturesque and distinctive feature of the Republican parades in that year, however, were the “Wideawakes.” This order originated in Hartford, Conn., and was not Suggested by Lincoln's own candidacy, for one of the Hartford “Wideawa ” clabs was formed before Lincoln w2s nominated and escorted him to ene of the halls in that city, where ko made a speech, on his visit to the east in Febru , 1860. At that ation was be- states, to be ines- ke” idea quick- e north after the n and Hamlin in , and it 1s estimated mere than 200,000 free states in In the canvass in 1880 in Blue were formed to te Garfield’s service in the union ar nd in one procession in New York, which was reviewed by General Grant, over 50,000 participants of- this order appeared. It was the largest procession on either side seen anywhere in the United States in the canvass of 1880. All these campaign clubs, except the “Wideawakes” and the Boys in Blue, originated in the west, and, with the exception of these two orders, by far the largest of the yrocessions took place in the west.— Leslie's Weeklv. clubs 6 comme: To PATENT Good Ideas may be secured by ouraid, A THE PATENT FEOOED Anrecetptions tothe Patent Becord &1.00: Satine sph COUNTY AND VILLAGE OFFICERS COUNTY. pena itor: E.
