Modern Navel Rspeaaloa. Prance finds that her navy baa fallen behind that of Euctand.' and It la now propoeed to brine the outfit op to date. Only a couple of years ago England was talking the same way about her nary and that of Prance. The Britishers went to work and finally got the load of all the world In naval armament. and now France moat be a laggard or put up the cash for more ships. The wonder Is where this thing will j stop with any nation wishing to be j the match for every other. England uiied to be content with a two power | equipment—that la, a nary strong | enough for any two first class narle*.

—v American Local Names. A bulletin recently issued by the geological survey gives some Information about the funny, the picturesque, the fantastic and the commonplace names that have fixed themselves upon certain localities and features throughout the country. It seems, by tbe way. that not half of the numerous Jefferaona. Hamiltons. Adamses and so on were named In honor of the Illustrious bearers of those names, but commemorate the Immediate founders of tbe settlements, who may have been bumble farmers or traders. Tbe name “Treks." tbe bulleUA says, originated In tbe word '"bakery" spoiled backward and abbreviated. Penn Yan was the meeting place of rovers from Penn's woods and Yankees from east of tbe Hudson. Anthony's Nona. In the Hudson highlands, la a duplicate tn nature on a cokmual scale of the beak of one Anthony de Hooges. who roamed tbe mountains aa a contemporary of Rip Van Winkle. Tradition says that Coney Island was so named from tbe number of rabbits found there. • Staten Island. Just across the bay from the famous reeort. la still a noted breeding ground for bunnlea. Perry's fleet put Into a recess In Lake Erie's shore one day, and so Put-ln-Bay Is a reminder of the fighting commodori. Darysaw, the name of aa Arkansas town, looks like a grotesque invention similar to “Treks,’’ but Is a clumsy transliteration of the French Des Kuisseaux, “of tbe streamlets.” And tbe dainty, poetic Elsinore of California Is a corruption of el sen or, Spanish for “the genAtnan." The name Dobbs didn't accidentally drop down and light on a place on the Hudson, but a Swede established a ferry service there In the king ago and stamped his real patronymic or anj American substitute upon Dobbs Perry.

Health and Beauty.

At a recent gathering of health promoters In (Tilesgo some of tbe speakers rehearsed and emphasised tbe very old rules of simplicity and activity for the acquisition and preservation beauty. One doctor declared, "Tour system needs ranch water, and yon should drink a proper quantity every day.' Water, be added, rounds out tbe form end edds flesh. Other speakers di upon clothing and exercise, and the arguments may be summed up In tbe few simple rules: Drink water freely', wear less clothing, do more washing, operate a carpet sweeper, go outdoors more, wear shorter skirts and. In general. get back to the simple life. The women of Chicago aa well as other great cities doubtless are In need of these Instructions, but there are tens of thouxamis of Yenuses In form and feature throughout the country who have cotoe up Just 1c that way without giving the matter a thought, and there are other thousands who bare lived up to these rules and yet are not Yen uses and do not worry over that either. They are healthy and happy, and what more Is worth ’striving fori Trying to be beautiful by bpok and crook la often tbe surest way to defeat the pur-

Tbe American knows that be most feed hi* body to get work oat of It and feels that be can afford it Besides the English workmen are vain a boot leaving property behind them. Japan Is a pygmy by tbe side of Russia, but has a larger population than Prance or tbe United Kingdom and Is not tar behind Germany and AustriaHungary la point of nambers.

The Dunamite Bomb (OoprrisIM. IKS. by T. C. McClure.) Tbe passenger who would bold converse with tbe captain of a great steamer must go about It ae formally as If be wished for an Interview with a great man ashore. He makes his approach through tbe purser, and, unless hie business is of <he greatest Importance he Is not encouraged to string it •at. When J. B. BUUmau, Chicago** first class passenger on tbe Undine, asked Yo see the captain when the ship was 400 mile* on her westward course excuse that he had a letter to deliver to him was not deemed snffleient to arouse the commander from his forenoon imp. Tbe purser took the letter to deliver two hours later. \ Mr. Stillman had an Interview with 4bc captain, however, and It was one he was not likely to forget for years. He was playing cords In the smoking saloon when be got word that tbe great man wafted to see him Instanter. The word wgs brought by the purser and the chief officer, who were ready to escort him to tbe captain's stateroom by force If necessary. “Sir. explain yourself about this letter!" ssld the captain as be held out the missive given to the purser two hours before. “You mean bow did It come Into my

“That's It." “It was banded to me at my hotel just before I left to come aboard. I promised to hand It to you at once, but In the hustle and confusion and being naturally absentmlnded I forgot all about It until a few hours ago. If I have caused you worry or damage I sincerely regret It.” “Who gave you tbe letter7" “A stranger, and yet be was a man I bad seen several times. Indeed I heard him say that be Intended to take this steamer, and when be handed me tbe letter I supposed It concerned that business. Is there anything wrong, captain?” There may be a good deal wrong, sir," was the grim reply. "Is there any one aboard wbo ran Identify yon?" “Yes, there's Brown of UblUdelphim. Warner of Boston and Phillips of Pittsburg. I've done business with all of them. Do you take me for a card sharp or a conspirator?” “Give tbe gentlemen named my compliments and ask them to favor me for a moment," said the captain to the

remark to Stillman, and the man from Chicago felt foolish and uncomfortable. He was not s fugitive from Justice, and he bad committed no breach of disci pit dc aboard the steamer, but all signs indicated that be wee In for .trouble. “Gentlemen, you know Mr. Rttnmin. do you?" was asked of tbe three par-

They answered tn the affirmative and soon satisfied the captain that be was a man of character. *Theo I am in something of a fix.” be replied. ”1 did not suspect Mr. Stillman of being a villain, but I was rather In hopes to bear that he was a practical joker. If It bad turned out that way my mind would have been relieved, and yet I should have had him In irons tot the rest of the voyage. This letter states that a dynamite bomb has found He way Into one of our coal bunkers and that when K Is fed Into tbe furnaoe we will Become food for tbe fishes." “And dc you believe the letter a hoax or la It a.wamla£?” “It is a warning." "I agree with you, and I must take all at you into my confidence, l^ot a lisp of the matter must get beyond this room. We are helpless. Let the crowd know why we are so and a hundred of them wooJd'Jjhup overboard. That bomb may beTfd into one of the furnaces while we talk or It may escape the coal paesrra until we reach our dock in New York. We have simply got to take our chances” “But the coal bankers—why not overhaul tbe coal bunkers?” asked Warner and Phillips together. ^ “Why not search for the cork of • champagne bottle on this broad ocean 7“ queried the captain, with a

NUrtSERY NOTES.

Until n child I* four years of age it should have an hour’s sleep In the middle of the day. Accustom a child from Its earliest day* to Ik- down au-ake In bis cot Instead of putting him to sleep In the anus, and a great deal of future trouble may be avoided. Boys should be made to be neat and orderly as well as girls. Order sod neatness are of a# much value to a man as to a woman when It comes to fighting the battle of life. If a child should swallow any danger ous substance. Immediately slip down It* throat the white of an egg, which will form a curd around It and JJjus prevent serious effects. A child’s hair should be thoroughly once a month with right warm water and a good soap This is often enough, but It should be well brushed twice a day for five minutes, strand by

A Woman I Baertaker. There Is probably no time wben tbe quiet, gentle ministrations of a woman are more appreciated than when death enters a borne, and It la rather surprising that so few women are funeral director*. Tbe prejudice against women physician* is rapidly di*apj>earmg. and, although no prejudice exist* against the woman undertaker, it undoubtedly required courage on the part of tbe first woman wbo entered that profession. Mrs. Florence Duley of Des Moines. Is., made a special study of anatomy while teaching school, and when, shortly after her marriage, her husband was required to take a state examination In that subject In order to secure s license Mrs. Duley not only ranched him most successfully, but secured a license herself and now assists her husband by specially caring for women and children.—ITlgrtm.

There Is danger Is feeding potatoes, as with other roots, lu the fact that they may Induce scouring. To avoid this the careful feeder will begin giving potatoes In only small amounts to his Stock, gradually Increasing tbe quantity as the animals liecouM- accustomed to this food. Aa soon a* there are any aigu* of tuusenem of tbe bowI els be will diminish slightly tbe quantlj ty of potatoes fed. If scourihg actually occurs It will set the animal# bock In gaining flesh or giving milk for several days or even some weeks If the attack la a serious one. Because p Mb toe* jtre cheap the farmer should not be careless In feeding them to his stuck. By using them Jndlciousiy and accustoming bis animals to this kind of food potatoes will prove satisfactory.—Professor W. A Henry In "Feeds and Feeding "

Veal is one of tbe meats especially adapted for curries. Here is aa admirable recipe, reco’nmemjgd at tbe New England School of Cookery: A •Bra of veal half an Inch thick, weigh • pound and a bait is cooked quickly tn a frying pan without any butler. Tbe surface should be quickly ■eared. Take out of tbe pan and cut In pieces about an Inch and a half square. Make tbe curry sauce aa follows: Pry tiro sliced onions In half a cupful of butter, take out tbe on lane and add to tbe butter the meat, half a tableepoonful at curry powder and tag water to cover. Oook slowly 1. tbe meat la tender. Thicken wben done wttb flour stirred Into raid water and season with salt cayenne and a equeese of lemon Juice. Serve with a border of boiled rice. Always serve some kind of preserve, each as chutney or ginger, with curries.
