! At no time within recent rears hits
the United Slate pcrvrninent fwn o
well represented In foreign waters liy
an armed naval force, tior so poorly
provided for in ships at home, as at
present. Three big cruisers are at Rio
Janeiro, two more arc on their way
there, and this number will be in
creased to six by the monitor Mian
tonomoh. The gunboot Yorktown is
at Callao, Peru, and the corvette Al
liance has sailed to join her, from La
Libertad. The old Yantic is stationed
permanently at the mouth of the Hio
de la Plata, charged with the duty ol
attending- to American interests in
adjacent territory.
The Ranger, which sailed from I,a
Libertad recently for Corinto, Nicara
gua, is assigned to the west coast of
Central America, where revolutionary
outbreaks are so frequent, while the
corvdtte Kearsarger now -en rout frcjrft
New York to San Domingo to afford
protection to American life nod prop
erty in the threatened uprising there,
will cruise about the West Indies, arid
until relieved by the Cruiser San Fran
cisco, along the east coast of Central
America; The Philadelphia and the
Adams are at Honolulu. The Asiatic
or China station, which has become 'sc
important through the hostile feellpg
of the Chinese toward Americans over
the exclusion law, has six vessels at
tached to it, and it i xpectvd that the
Jiachias, now at Jlrooklyn, will sail
soon to join them.
The North Atlantic or home station
has nominally five, but actually only
one vessel in commission to its credit,
for the Son Francisco is on her way to
Rio, the Kcaroorge is bound for fan
Domingo (which can hardly be called
a "home" port, although within the
lines of the station), and the Blachias is
ilestined for China. The dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius is therefore likely to
he the sole, war vessel left for service
on the eastern coast of the United
States, and tho practicability of the
Vesuvius as an effective battleship is
iu serious doubt At the- navyyard at
Maro Island, Cal... the old Mohican is
fitting for sea service", presumably in
the South Pacific: The coast defense
vessel Monterey is also at Mare Island.
Farms la Volcano.
Thirty miles from: the eity of Vtu
mamoto, Japan, is the volcano Aso
San, which has the largest crater in
the world. It fs more than thirty miles
in circumference, and peopled by twen
ty thousand inhabitants. Think of
walking for miles among fertile farms
and prosperous villages, peering into
schoolhouse windows and bacred
shrines well within the shell of an old
time crater, whose walls rise eight
hundred feet all about you. It gives
one a queer feeling. Hot springs
abound everywhere. In one place
brick-red hot water is utilized to turn
a ricemill. The Inner crater is nearly
half a mile in diameter, and a steady
column of roaring steam pours out of
it. The last serious eruption was in
1604, when immense quantities of black
ashes and dust were ejected and car
ried by the wind as far as Kumamoto,
where for three days it was so dark
that nrtUiial li?ht had to be used,

I Here it has lived and grown fat dur-
Jtg the past eight summers, its winters

o tame that it is fed thus from the

remains dormant in the cellar until the

Would He Upon This f ountry A
Strain That cannot Us
Long Sustained.
Ilarold Frederic, one of tho shrewd
est American observers across the seas,
noU's ino estimate that there are one
hundred aBd thirty thousand more men
under arms in Uuropa than there wore
last Christinas, and remarks: "It is
now the universal expectation that
when ; the Christmas of 1804. comes
around It will find an altered map.
This strain Is too heavy. Something
must give way somewhere during tho
coming year."
Predictions of a great impending
dently from time to tune during the
liUrtipean war have been made confi
last decade, says the Boston Traveller,
yet they have not been, fulfilled, and
many will turn an Incrodulous ear to
Mr. Frederic, saying: "Tho outlook
has been as forbidding more than once
since the chief military powers began
to swell their armaments, to their pres
ent enormous size, and yet, somehow,
peace has been preserved. Why. then,
is there not reason to believe that 1S'J4
will repeat the story of 183 and its
immediate predecessors, and another
Christmas coino with the sword still in
the scabbard r
To those who thus appeal to the ex
perience of the nenrcr pant it is unhap
pily easy to return an auswer. This
answer may be summed up in Mr.
iredcric s wordn: "Tho strain is too
heuvy. Something must pivo way
somewhere." For a long time now tho
rival powers of Uuropc have been en
gaged in a contest which ha:i been only
less exhausting to them than actual
warfare would have been. They havo
been putting forth prodigious exer
tions to overawe their respective rivals
with exhibitions of force, until, in
some instances, the bur,leii9 of taxa
tion under which thev are groaning
have become intolerable. Italy, in
deed, has almost reached the verge of
bankruptcy; Russia, despito her vast
extent, b financially in no enviable
plight; while France, Germany and
Austria-Hungary, although much bet
ter able to continue the trii:l of endur
ance, keenly feel the effects of such
ruinous competition and know that it is
only a question of tim? wl'a they will
be forced to reduce their military ex
penditures, or draw the sword in tho
hope of conquering a less troublesome
peace.
It is becoming more and more evi
dent, thcrcforo, that a crir.is in their
affairs is approaching, and one that
means upheaval. The different na
tions referred to, conscious that even
partial disarmament will not be agreed
to. know that war is practically inev
itable. Not one of them, perhaps,
feels fully ready for war, yet they
doubt If they will ever be much readier
than now, and hence all ore on the
alert that they may not be taken una
whp1?. We on this side of the ocean do not
view the fast-gathering European war
clouds with pleasure. An old world
conflict woulJ benefit us for the time
being by increasing the demand for
our products, but. in the long run. we
snoul(1 suffer from it, and in ways that
ueod not be Indicated. Yet, even if
such a conflict should Insure perma
nent benefits to us wc should not re
joice to see it break out. We know
what war means, and having reason, if
ever a nation has had, to love peace,
we are full of sympathy for Mother
Europe in her trials, and would wish
that the blessings we enjoy might be-
rae her haPPy portion
A Aellc of O.d London.
One of the most interesting relics of
old London is St. John's gate, Clerken
well. which, because it does not hap
pen to lie in one of the main arteries
of the big city, is not so well known,
even to Londoners, as it should bo. It
is the only remaining portion of the
important Priory of St. John, which
dates from the fourteenth century. The
old gateway has a literary interest at
tached to It, for In the room above the
archway Dr. Johnson worked for Cave,
the printer, for a small weekly stipend;
and the (Jcntlcman's Magazine, which
to this day bears a picture of the arch
way on its cover, was first printed
here. The archway had latterly be
come much defaced and weatlier-worr,
but it has recently been restored as a
memorial to the du!:e of Clarence, who
was first sub-prior of the Order of St.
John. . The order as now revived em
braces the St. John Ambulance associ
ation and is busy in other good works,

One curious result of the hurricane

OLO PLAYMATES
A rieas Di; Storr of a Celebrated French
Hporfsmitn.
The author of ''Modern Ilunting," in
La Nonvelle Revue, tells a pleasing
story of one of the oldest and most cel
ebrated sportsmen of France, Prince,
de Joir.ville. The prince is perhaps
the "Senior member" of hunting soci
ety in thia country. lie w as hunting
in the Chtintilly forest, as the guest of
Due d'Auinale.
His party met another party which
was following a deer in tho same for
est, and some disorder resulted. The
prince loot track of the nnimal that he
. was following, but ho took uic disap-
pointment philosophically, and set out
i to find tho deer again.
On the way he was stopped by an old
white-haired peasant, who told him
that the deer he was following had
passed by there recently. The son of
L.OU13 riniiippc asked some simple
i qution, but as the old pe asant replied
he looked at him keenly, seeming to
pay more attention to hlra than to his
words. Suddenly he stopped him.
"Wait! it seems to me that I know
you, friend:" he exclaimed.
"Yes. sir," replied the peasant, In his
old. cracked voice, which shook with
emotion. Du, yes, wo have often
eaten cakes at 'Auntie Adelaide's.'"
It was sixty years since they had
been children together, but the varied
experiences of that time had not made
the prince forget his old playmate and
I servitor, ond he delayed his quest for
! the lost deer to renew the acquaint
ance.
A REAGO.NACLE OBJECTION.
An CnKllaU Clergyman Mho Protested
A-.n.nst a ninarkahlf Name.
Sometimes in English country par
ishes, where tho clergyman has been
accustomed to havo his own way, he
protests vigorously if tho name pro
posed for a child about to be christened
does not suit him. Occasionally, how
ever, he docs so upon false . premises.
James Payno writes in the Indepen
dent: The lato Dean Burgon, when a
curate In Berkshire, was requested by
a village couplo to christen their boy
"Venus," or, as they called it,"Vanus."
"Are you aware," he said, "that you
are asking something ridiculous as
well as exceedingly wicked? Do you
suppose I am going to give a Christian
child, a boy, the name of a woman
iu heathen mythology? How did such
a monstrous notion get into your
heads?"
"Please, sir," said the father, "we
want him called after his grandfather."
"And do you nay his grandfather was
named Venus?"
"Yes, nir; there ho is, sir."
A poor old man, looking very unlike
Venus, hobbled out of tho crowd.
"Do you daro to say you were chris
tened Venuo?" asked the indignant
clergyman.
"Well, uo, sir," was tho respectful
answer, "I was christened Sylvanus,
but they always called me Vunas."
REVEALED BY DEATH.
A Soldier Whoso Worth Was Not Ap
preciated In l.lfw.
"Life is perfected by death," and it
is also revealed. A story told iu the
"Life of Sir Richard llurton" illus
trates the clearness with which death
reveals a man to his comrades.
A lieutenant in a Ilritish regiment
was honest, steady, quiet and full of
.terllng qualities; but he was dull, re
served and religiously inclined. His
brother officers laughed at him. and
associated but little with him. Though
well-born, he was oor, and had no
powerful friends. He therefore re
named without promotion or society;
tut ho never complained, and did his
test.
A battery was to be taken in the
rimes, and the. lieutenant's regiment
was selected as the storming party. It
Assaulted and was driven back. The
lieutenant rallied his own company,
tnd with a laugh flung his shako lie
lore him, and rushed through the
ire ch into the battery, followed by
landfill of men. They never come out
4gam. .
That night at the regimental mesa
there was not a man but regretted that
he had not better understood the
oliicer whose gallant death had re
vealed his superiority. AH remem-
ered a thousand good qualities and
incidents wnicn ought to nave cn-
lenred him to them. They were
ashamed of the contempt with which
they had treated him. and of the fact
that they had never shown him the
least kindness.
SARATOGA CHIPS. "

Several of the mule memlfrs of the
opera company sat at the same table in
the Ste. Claire hotel. Another gentle
man was given a seat at the some
tab It seems that atdinner one day
he ordered Saratoga chip potatoes and
when they were served he bt-gun eat

looked on in amazement and soon be
gun talking in German about the im
propriety of the actnn. They applied
a number of p:;t names to him. princi-

ACOUT WILD BOARS.
As Inapect.d In a Zoological C irden tho
Animals Show Cood I'olnts.
A wild boar Is always pictured as a
ferocious beast, and hunters agre:. that
they would as soon meet a lion. Hut
young wild boars are far prettier than
inyone would suspect, says tiolden
Days.
In their wild state, however, no one
has had an opportunity to inspijet
them closely, and it Is only in a zoo
logical garden that their good points
eon re nnnrociated.
Their bodies are slim and elegant,
their snouts fine, their ears short and
their .legs and feet almost as finely
shaped as those of a young antelope;
Their color is a bright fawn or a
rich tan, with longitudinal stripes like
those of a tabby kitten; and. in place
of the thick bristles of the other pigs,
their bodies are covered with a long
and thick coat of rough hair.
Family life in the wild boars' quar
ters is harmonious and amusing. For
the first month the little orange-striped
pigs depond on their mother for food,
and take no notice either of visitors or
of each other.
Each roams about by itself in a most
independent fashion, or drops down to
sleep on its stomach, with its legs
stretched straight out before and be
hind like a kneeling elephant in min
iature. Later, when they havo to be satis
fied with the food provided in the
troughs, tliey become tho most oinus
Ing and importunate beggars in the
ioo, the old cow and boar setting the
example, well supported by the little
pigs.
The whole family stand upright on
their hind legs in a row, with their
fore feet against the rails, and squeak,
gmnt and even climb the wire netting
for contributions.
Even if the floor is littered with de
licious hog-wash, they prefer to be fed
from the outside, ond the yearning to
ream just one men iurtner tnan their
brothers seems to give an Impulse to
the growth of their snouts, like those
of the parent swino.

If all the stories of kings and em
perors are to be believed, the infer
ence must be that they respect no one
so much as the man who has the
courage, of his own opinions. Admiral

Hlaok Sea Ueet, which tho czar re
viewed from time to time.

The admiral accordingly set sail, ami

uroKe. to ine great Ulsoomfort of the
imperial party.
The emperor entreated tho admiral
to put back, but the wind was con
trary and the admiral could attempt
nothing of the sort. The cmporor then
succumbed utterly to seosickness, and
peremptorily ordered a return.
"I acknowledge that his majesty is
ruler of all the Russias," said the ad
miral, "but I am master on board. You
may tell his majesty that his commands
cannot be obeyed."
The ship was actually driven within
sight of the Asiatic coast, brt only
when tho storm abated could his auto
cratic majesty's orders be obeyed.
On finding himself safe on 'hind, t'-
czar begged the admiral's pardon for
his impatience, and presented him with
the usual gold snuff-box, set with dlo-
monds and suitably inscribed.

general alurm was caused by the arj'u

feet higher than were those on the At

Pathstlo Instances of the Child's Instinct
for run.
Mrs. Molesworth, who writes 'a mov
ing article in Woman's Work, concern
ing tho necessity of obtaining "fun,
food and fresh air" for all classes of
children, . says that there are among
London's poor thousands of little ones
who never had a toy.
Yet r.till tho child's instinct to "make
bellovo" surmounts every practical ob
stacle, and there is a true story of one
little sufferer from a chronic disease
whose only plaything were the spots
of damp on the wall besido her bed,
:iho ployed they wcro real and olive;
she gave them names and Imaginary
qualities.
Another true story showed how far
the little candle of a wise and loving
word may throw its beams. A teacher
at a Hii.i lay si'iool for Lou Ion's poor
was trying to impress upon her little
pupils some idea of tho real meaning
of giving.
"Whateverit nay be," she said, "our
offering to OoJ should be of our best,
of what we prize most."
In one baby heart her words found
ready response. Next day a little
creature confldod her offering to the
teacher; it wa3 a carefully tied pock
age, containing a few grains of rice.
This was her most precious and per
haps her only treasure.

How a Gambler In ICeilco Swindled Na

"Tho coolest gamblers on earth are
the Mexicans," said a traveler from the
hind of tho tamala to a writer for the
Washington Post. "Win or lose, they
never dis play tho slightest chagrin or
Joy. 'I hey won't raise a row, as our
American gamblers do when they are
beaten. I was sitting one evening at
the monte table in the great gambling
resort of Mexico, situuted in a suburb
of the City of Mexico. There were two
Americans whom I had seen around
tho table on several occasions. One
was a railroad man and the other was
the most expert short-card manipula
tor I ever 1 aw. They played for very
small stakes for several days. Then
one duy tho railroad man come in. sat
down and tiegan to plav. The short-

1 chairs away. 1 bow him take a large
silk handkerchief from his pocket and
spread it over his knees. In Mexican
monte tho dealer allows each player to
cut the cards when he mukesa bet. The
short-curd man brought with him a
decli of cards exactly similar to those
used in the gnme. Fact is, the backs
of these cards are all ulikc.. When he
was given the car.ls to cut he substi
tuted another pack on the top of which
was a card, a king, which would make
him win. Ho had put down eighteen
hundred dollars on the king on the
board. He cut. the dealer turned and
of course ho won. The pack that the
dealer had handed him to cut lay in the
silk handkerchief spread over his
knee. lie gathered the handkerchief
together, put it in his pocket, took his
thirty-six hundred dollars and left.
Ills confederate played on for a few
minutes, mailing small bets, and then
cashed in. As ho turned to go the
dealer, who knew he had been robbed
but could not quite comprehend how
it had been done, said very quietly:
"'Very well done, Nignor.'
"An American gambler would have
raised a row and pulled his gun and de
manded his money. They watch Amer
