Mr. Hall remained silent for * some ' time, bnt this only caused the question to < be pressed with greater earnestness. 1 At lsngtb Mr. Hail admitted: “There i was one very fine passage” “I am i rejoiced to hear you say so. ■ Pray, ' »ir, what was it?" “Why, air,-it etas 1 the passage from the pulpit tof the I vestry.” 1 Mr. Gilbert’s I Isnsant inuttoa W.

Admiral tob Werner, a high authow lty In naval matters in Germany, de eeribes in a work reoently published the behavior of armor-plated men-of war in heavy seas. He says: “Even with a moderate pie and sea an armor-plated crnlser, if going against the wind, will find herself in condi tions similar to those of a storm—at least, the crew will have that im pression. The movements of the stern of the ship are violent and exceed ingly disagreeable. The waves pushed by the advancing prow sweep con tinually over the ship from bow to stern. All windows and port holes mnst be closed, and air reaches the lower decks, where the heat increases unbearably, only through the artifi cial ventilators With tho ex ception of the specially pro tected command bridge all the uncovered portions of the ship are impassable; thus the whole of the crew must bear as well as they can the hell of the dosed deoks. On such s ship no one can feel oomfortable; and when there Is a storm in which a tailing ship would feel comparatively at ease the crew of an armor-plated ship imagines itself te be in a heavy hurricane which threatens destruc tion at every minute. The long, nar row forepart of the ship, whioh is not borne lightly by the water, and is rendered extremely heavy by the mighty ram and the armored deck tnd the cannon and torpedoes, forces the ship in a high sea to pitehings and rollings of such an extraordinary kind that they cannot be described, rhe crew of such a ship is not only exposed to mortal dangers, but the voyages they make render them physically, extremely and danger cusly nervous; the mental impressions they receive wear them out and make the profession hateful.” THEY ARE WELL “FIXED. ■That the Comte do Forte* Family Haro Become Poueeied Of.

Of the uncles’ and aunts’ shares he md the duo de Chartres had about 1800.000 apiece, the arrears of their nother’s dower income, which was ecured on the Orleans estates The luchesse de Oalliera gave about 1,500, 100 francs.

The latest atrocity in the interest tf fashion is a corset for the foot. Che new instrument of torture is nade so as to enable a size smaller iboe to be worn than would be other vise possible, and consists of a strong .hough thin band of web, which is ixed round the instep while the foot s off the ground. When it is in >lace it is comparatively easy to put >n a shoe which is altogether too imall, and the pressure being on the I sorset instead of the shoe, the latter loes not stretch.

B* KMf Philadelphia StroafHl Pa trlotle Point. The class In geography was reciting and there were several visitors. The subject for the day was the state of Pennsylvania. “Now, children,” said the teacher, “who can bound Pennsyl vania?” Half a dozen hands went up and waved wildly in the air and a little girl gave the boundaries of the state correctly. “What is the largest city in Penn sylvania?” asked the teacher. U“Philadelphia!" shouted the little boy with the jersey suit. “Now,*’ continued the teacher, “who can tell me what building there is in Philadelphia about which no true American should think without a glow of love and patriotism? What building is there which w e should all revere and which is the pride of every loyal son of the United Stat es?” This was a poser and no one an swered for a time. Finally a boy who sat on the front row raised his hand. "Well,” said the teacher, “you may tell, Sammy Einstein.” "Der mintl” shouted Sammy, tri umphantly. Another View of It, “In the slow evolution of the race,' ( mused the elephant, looking with lan- < guid interest at the throng of curious | gazers that stood on the outside of the ! ropes and fed him with cakes, peanuts | and candy, “how many millions of i years it must require to evolve from ' the shapeless and rudimentary pro- < jection on the face of the creature 1 called man the full and perfect pro boats.” _ natural Taste for Roughing It. There is not such a difference in tastes in men and women as some people suppose. Nothing is better liked by the average man in the way of diversion than a brief season of camping out, and the women, God bless them! are just as daft on house cleaning, which comes as near camj> Ing out as it is possible for one thing to be like another.
