Figures seem essential to convey to the nonprofessional mind an adequate conception et the stuiiendous power for aggression or for resistance concen trated In tw elve battle ships, four a r mored cruisers, fou r protected cruis ers, four monitors and a dozen torpedo bouts aud torpedo-boat destroyers, be sides submarines and au xiliary craft, says Harper's W eekly. It must here suffice to say that the tw elve battle ships aloue which were massed ofT Oys ter Bay represented n combined dis placement o f nearly 154,000 ti’j i s ; the armored cruisers, almost 55,000 tons; the monitors aud protected cruisers, more than 32,000 tons, aud the whole lighting fleet. Including the torpedo boats und submarines, but excluding auxiliaries, an aggregate displacement o f upward o f 244,000.

W e may add, In order to refute scone groundless ac cusations, that the cost o f the naval re view, Imposing as the pageant looked, was negligible. The cost was comput ed by R ear Admiral- Evans at $300 ail to ld ; for, as be pointed out, sq long as a ship is in commission, it is Just a' cheap fo r her to be at anchor off Oyster Bay as to be steaming across the ocean.

Less than two years ago a prospector lost his way In the desert near the C ali fornia line, in N ye County, Nevada, and died o f thirst.

You sleep very well through the roar o f a w intry storm, but If some one has for gotten to fasten a blind, and It begins to bang, then you are lo s t; you might as well get up and locate that blind and fasten It first as last. The mani fold noises o f your steamer’s plunge through the night, with the perpetual wash o f the sea, unite In a lullaby to which the worst conscience sinks into repose; but a snorer breaking from the next stateroom reculls the memory o f all one's sins. The rush and leap and incessant but varied grind and clang o f the sleeping car become sooth ing at last, but a radiator, beginning to fizz and click after the steam has been turned off, seems to leave the would-be sleeper no resource but sui cide; If you could get at the second engineer, and leave hhn weltering In his gore, you could snatch a few cat naps before morning; but you cannot got at the second engineer after mid night in most hotels. Continuous noises and necessary noises are things you can adjust senses or your spirits to; but the noise without a reason, without an apparent right, like the knawing o f a rat In the wainscot, is what drives so many to perdition.— W.

One hot day In the summer o f 1901 Reed was In Portsmouth, and, having to w ait over for a train, he decided to make an Impromptu toilet, changing his collar, etc. So he hied himself to the nearest haberdasher's and began a gen eral survey o f the collar display In the store. “ W aited on, sir?” queried one of the clerks. “ Not yet,” responded Reed, and then added, “ I would like a collar.” “ W hat size?” piped the clerk. “ Size 20,” answered Reed. "W e don’t keep collars so large, but I think you may be accommodated three stores above.” Reed went and found the third store above. I t was a harness shop. C o m p e titio n .

NO LIMIT TO ITS POWERS FOR EVIL Contagious Blood Poison has brought more suffering, misery and humila- tion into the world than all other diseases combined; there is hardly any limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest of all disorders, wrecking the lives of these nnfortunate enough to contract it and often being transmitted to innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of suffering and shame. So highly contagious is the trouble that innocent persons may contract it by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clothing of one in whose blood the treacherous virus has taken root. Not only is it a powerful poison but a very deceptive one. Only those who have learned by bitter experience know by the little sore or ulcer, which usually makes its appearance first, of the suffering which is to follow. It comes in the form of ulcerated mouth and throat, unsightly copper colored spots, swollen glands in the groin, falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers on the body, and in severe cases the finger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, the nervous system is shat tered and the sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow man. Especi ally is the treacherous nature of Contagions Blood Poison, shown when the infected person endeavors to combat the poison with mercury and potash. These minerals w ill drive away all outward symptoms of the troubles for a while, and the victim is deceived into the belief that he is cured. When, however,the treatment is left off hefindsthat the poisonhas only been driven deeper into the blood and the disease reappears, and usually in worse form because these strong minerals have not only failed to remove the virus from the blood but have weakened the entire system because of their destructive action. S. S. S. is she only real and certain cure for Contagious Blood Poi son. It is made of a combination of healing blood-purifying roots, herbs and barks, the best in Nature's great laboratory of forest and field. W e offer a reward of fi.ooo for proof that S. S. S. contains a particle of mineral in any form. S. S. S. goes down to the very bottom of the trouble and by cleansing the blood o f every particle of the virus and adding rich, healthful qualities to this vital fluid, forever cures this powerful disorder. So thoroughly does S. S. S. cleanse the PURELY VEGETABLE circulation that no signs of the disease arc ever seen again, and offspring is protected.
