THE UNITED STATES IS FIFTH. ‘
The Position of’l‘his Country Among: the
Naval. Powers.
The United States now ranks fifth
among the naval Powers of the earth,
and is a lie wi.‘.. Scrutiny. England
is first, France saw-nu, 3.15311 third
and Italy fourth. The Germany 1:.12'y
is better supplied with torpedo-boat:
than that of the United States, but we
are a little'ahead on battle—ships and
cruisers. Taking one consideration
with another, however, there is very
little difierence. When the Kentucky,
Kearsage, Illinois and the other vessels
now building are afloat we shall sur-
pass Germany; but the Germans, how-
ever have a magnificent scheme for the
development of their navy, and the re-
cent episodes in China were planned
for the purpose of stimulating the in-
terest of their Parliament and the peo-
ple. If the Emperor’s programme is
carried out, Germany will spend $200;
000,000 in naval construction during
the next nine or ten years—ant average
of about $20,000,000 a year for battle
ships, cruisers, coast-defence monitors
and other fighting materials, and will
run away ahead of us any take the sec-
ond place. In 1906 the ”German navy
will .be increased to seven-teen battle-
ships of the first class, eight coast-de-
fence vessels, nine first-class cruisers,
and twenty—six second-class cruisers.
The battle—ships will be the most for-
midable in the world, and are to cost
$5,000,000 each, the cruisers, $3,000,000
each and the small cruisers, $1,000,000
each. The appropriation by the Ger-
man Parliament for the year amounts
to $9,000,000 and will be spent in the
construction of three first-class battle-
ships, one first-class armored cruiser,
five second-class protected cruisers,
two gunboats, eight torpedo-boats, and
one torpedo-boat destroyer.
During the present year Russia will
spend $7,500,000 for her naval esta'b-
lishment. She has now under con-
struction nine battle-ships, two coast-
defence vessel, two armored Cruisers,
four protected cruisers, four ~gunboats
and forty torpedo-boats.
Great Britain, however, as usual, is
ou-tdoing all the nations in naval co‘n~
struction, and during the present year
will spend $26,500,000. She has now
under construction 117 vessels, and
several of them will be completed be-
fore next January—viz.: Fifteen bat-
tle-ships, twelve first-class (cruisers,
nine second-class cruisers, ten third-
class cruisers, six ,twin~screw gun-
boats, fifty—six torpedo-boat destroy.
ers, eight light-draught gunboats
and one royal yacht. Great Brit-
ain has to-day in this catalogue
of ships under construction a. fleet as
fine as that; of the United States, Italy,
Germany or any other nation, except
France and Russia—Chicago Record.
WHAT THE BAND PLAYED.
A Dinner Table Episode on Shipboard in
\Vhich a French Singer Figured.
An instance of what it calls “transat-
lantic courtesy” is related by the Gaul-
ois of Paris. One of the greatest sin-
gers of France was returning from New
York, on one of the-German liners.
One evening glancing at the programme
of the concert that was to be played at
dinner, she saw the announcement of
a, triumphal march celebrating the Ger-
man victory of 1871.
“I am sure,” she said to a fellow-
countr'yman sitting near, “that this is
not intended as a d'iscourtesy to us,
but I don’t care! I’m too much of a
patriot not to express my disapproval
of it in my aim way ’when they begin
to play this piece. Wait and see!”
The captain, having caught the gist
of these remarks, and noticing the
great artist’s agitation, glanced at the
programme to'see what caused it.
Then, without showing any surprise,
he spoke to one of the waiters in a
low tone.
At the moment when the Germ-an
triumphal march was due to begin, the
French singer, who could hardly con-
trol her agitation, prepared to leave the
table, The first chord was played, the
artist arose—and stood, pale, agitated,
amazed, while the officers and other
passengers also got up and smiled sym—
pathetically at her. And the band
played “The M‘arseillaiseL”
One Congressman Who Saved Money.
The Populist paper at Lincoln gives
some account of the prosperity which
has come to Uncle Billy Baker, the
pleasant old fellow who for three terms
represented the Sixth District in. Con-
ress. He has two fine farms, upon
one of which he is feeding 250 head of
cattle, and, besides, he owns and oc-
cupies a fine home in the town. Uncle
Billy demonstrated the error of the be-
lief that a Congressman could not live
decently and save money out of his
salary. His expenses in Washington
were but little, if any, more than the
excess sum allowed him for mileage
and postage; and had it not been for
the necessity of contributing liberally
to the campaign fund in his district
he might have saved nearly the whole
of his salary of $5,000 a year. He‘was
a poor man when he entered Congress,
and he is now worth about $17,000.

' RAG OF'R’ERINGS‘AT O'LD'WELLS.
The Custom Not Prevalent, Except In Ire.
land. Since the Reformation.
The singular custom of leaving rags
and other worthless objects at wells
has not entirely fallen into disuse. The
superstitution, in a modified form, ex-
ists in other portions of the world.
A traveler in Persia found a tree with
rags tied to its branches. They had
been left there by the inhabitants of a
province infected with ague. A tree
hung with rags was found by another
traveler, in Africa. Crooked pins, old
clothes, pebbles, shells, rusty nails,
small coins, and even bundles of heath
were considered appropriate thank-of-
ferings at shrines in earlier days, for
it was believed that the saints and
Apostles did not care for articles of
value.
Such was the superstitious adoration
of fountains- that ”it was forbidden by
the sixteenth of the canons issued in
960, in the reign of King Edgar, and it
was condemned by the canons of St.
Anselm. It was also interdicted by
laws passed in the reign of King Can-‘
ute. Since the Reformation the'prac-
tice has not been prevalent, except in
Ireland, where many old wells conse-
crated to saints and martyrs are yet
made places of pilgrimage. There is
scarcely a. parish throughout the land
that has not its own holy well, where,
despite practical admonition, the faith-
ful and the faithle-ss come to pray for
physical or mental relief, and leave
behind them a scrap of rag as an of-
ferin-g.——Godey’s Magazine.
A CONFEDERATE RELIC.
Muskot Barrel Stufl‘ed With the Order for
a Traitor’s Arrest.
Miss May McKinney, who resides in
West Philadelphia, has for some time
been collecting odd articles of bric-a-
brac, with which to decorate a. novel
boudoir. Her elder brother, who is a
traveling salesman, picks up many cu-
rios for her, and last week she received
from South Carolina an old musket
that he had secured. A letter which
accompanied the firearm stated that
the‘brother had purchased it at an
auction that took place at an old
hbme‘s’tead, and that: it was a relic of
the war of 1812. Miss McKinney ex-
amined the musket, which was very
rusty, and then hired 'her younger
brother to give it a thorough cleaning.
The lad, after polishing the outside,
ran a stick into the barrel and found
it was choked half-way «up. The
stoppage seemed to be too loose
for a charge, so- a hooked wire
was secured, and, . after fishing
awhile young McKinley brought
out a small roll of discolored
papers. Examination showed that
three of the lot were plans of fortifi-
cations, and were dated 1865, being
signed: “R. R. Blaisdel.” The re-
maining document was an order for the
arrest of Robert Blaisdel, who was de-
scribed as a. traitor to the cause, and
contained the signature of General
Lea—Philadelphia. Record.
A GOOD BUSINESS VENTURE.
The Sale of Musical Instruments on Ocean
Linens.
From a single venture five years ago,
small stores or booths for the sale of
musical instruments "have become a ,
regular thing on the large liners that
sail from England to India, Australia 'I
and- the Colonies.
From the beginning the music shop
was quite a sucCess.

disposed’of at sea than on shore; while
even pianos meet with at least four or
five customers each voyage, many peo-

eight children. She‘says: “I had kidney
and urinary troubles for years. Added
to that were severe headaches and

at Hale’s drugstore (now Glendening‘

did not nee _ them. They cured me
andI am glad to recommend them to
