EngHshmfn can not help bfing inter esW'd in the remarkable strides which hare l"en taken on the other side ot the Atlantic, where the rehabilitation of the navy of the United States is beinir pushed ahead with the character istic energy of our American cousins. If. perchance, there are any who have cot taken note of what is there goinjr on. the imminent advent of four new and important cruisers in our waters should direct their attention that way. It is not so much, however, that the United States have tnade a very good beinnintj toward building1 up a modern navy this is but a trifle where "money is no object" but there Lave also been developed in the country facilities of every kind for the creation of that navy without outside assistance. This can hardly yet be said of any other power except France and Great Britain. In 1HH5 it was not only the case that the United States had no vessel of war which could have kept the seas for one week as against any fjrstrrate naval power, but they were ab solutely dependent upon our manu factories for forging of guns, for armor, for machine and rapid-fire guns and the like. Now, four years later, not only has much been done in the way of con structing vessels, which are as good as any thing of similar type afloat, but ar rangements have been made by which they will be able shortly to create en tirely from their own resources every modern implement of war, including steel-clad battle-ships of the heaviest tonnage, with their guns and armor. By the end of this year the Bethlehem Iron Company, of Bethlehem, Pa., one of the largest steel manufactories in the States has guaranteed to have erected the plant for the production of armor and gun forging of the largest kinds. Other companies have taken in hand the supply of war materials and within the last month three or four firms have tendered bids for the con struction of cruisers, and similar num ber for the provision of steel projectiles. Moreover, there is now nearly com pleted at Washington an ordnance fac tory for finishing heavy naval ordnance and all the necessary plant for handling gun forging up to the quantity required to make the very largest guns afloat. Nearly half a million sterling has been expended, or is In the course of expend iture, on this factory alone. Of devel opments w hich we may call by com parison minor, there is the opening of a new dock 4il0 feet by seventy-nine by twenty-seven and a half feet, at Mare Island, San Francisco, and another at Newport, IV, within the last fortnight, which is Odo feet by ninety-three feet by twenty-five feet The Americans have quite evidently realized that as they are obliged to upend money on a navy the disbursements may as well be for their own In ne lit us not. It will b:- seen that the United States are in earnest 5n the intention of re suming their position as a naval power, It is, however, somewhat significant thut at present ull this construction seems to tend in the diru tion of vessels more fitted to run away from an antagonist of reai weight than to sustain the glorious traditions of the American sea service. With but one or two exceptions, these ships ore beurpreparod to destroy com merce than w protect it. There is no sign of a fleet fitted to cope with Eu ropean annor-clads if they missed the Atlantic, as they have done before.

Dearest Amy: A man we know has just proposed to and been accepted by a girl, and he came on to tell us all about being "tho happiest man In the world," etc., etc. After some portion of his rap tures had been exhausted I remarked that as is usual in such cases, the con tracting parties were the very last we should have imagined likely to single each other out from the rest of the world for a life partnership. Whereupon our friend observed that the first thing that had attracted him to the girl was ber exquisite neatness. Now, Amy, I had always been under the impression that neatness, like cleverness and a love of plain sewing, was one of those respecta ble qualities that are excellent for mak ing cages after marriage, but not of the smallest use in the manufacture of nets in which to secure one's prey before hand. You see, I was wrong, or else this case is exceptional. Our friend proceeded to say that he was sick and tired of untidy girls, with nothing dainty about them, and no white lace, or linen or tape, or whatever it is called, round the necks of their dresses. "Tape!" Dead tired of girls whose gowns dipped into the mud or dust of the street at every step. Sick of girls with loose bags in the front of their bodices, which always reminded him of pelicans. Weary of girls with no neatness of finish either to themselves or their sleeves, and with hair like hay stacks. Even if all wrists were white as snow, and rounded to perfection, he said, he could not admire them if they emerged from sleeves ttiat ended in bard bands of stuff with no relief from the color of the gown itself. I never thought that men noticed these little things much, but I supposo they do. The lady of his choice is certainly one of the neatest of human beings. Some people aro burn neat: others achieve neatness. Lucy belongs to the first category, and with constant prac tice she has achieved perfection in tho art. She wears her hair colled in tho glossiest brown folds, with a little baby ish fluff or fringe in ront. each indi vidual curl of which has its brilliant ifleam. Wo have often asked her how he manages to keep her hair so beauti fully, and she always laughs and says, "Yelk of egg once a fortnight, and a good brushing every night." Hers is une of those delicate tinted skins that uonvcy the idea of purity to the mind, but she is not otherwise, pretty. Wo :ften call her Jane Eyre, because she makes us think of Charlotte Bronte's heroine, I do not know what Jane wore iron nd ber neck, but I am sure thut, whatever the arrangement was, it was neut almost to primness. Lucy's collars ind cuffs are always immaculate, glit tering with the alassy gloss of ironed itarch. I neve saw a button missing from her gloves.

A Maryland Town In Which Nearly All Ar UlnnU and Methu.i'luhi. , "Back in Montgomery County, elevon miles from Laurel, on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, is the llttlo village of Sandy Spring, a Quaker settlement, whose population is but seventy-five persons, yet which Is noted for the length of time its inhabitants live and the stature they attain," said Robert II. Moran a day or two ago. "Now, I am not what you would call a little or a young man. I am 77 years old, six feet tall, and weigh 200 pounds, yet I can not hold a candle to some of the chaps who live there. The old people there are dying off, though. Now, there was the l'enn family. Mary lived to be 109 years old. Edward died at 104. Lizzie was 103 when sho died, and Joseph was 101. Joshua lived to be 99 and 10 months. Mary No. 3 was 98, and another Mary was 89. Will lam Thompson was one of the oldest men in town. lie died at 113 years. Tho Bell boys were triplets. They were Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Every one of them was over 100 years old, and tho smallest of them was 6 feet 4 inches high. Both the others were 6 feet 5. Then there were two men, one named Davis and the other Thatcher, both of whom were over 100. Isaac Moore lived to be 101 Mrs. Russell died at 104. Mrs. Kirk was 101. Billy Matthews and Will McCormick were each 101 when they died. Billy Simpson was 100, and Mahlon Chandice is now living at 100. Cornelius Sullivan was 94, William Brown was 93 when he left us, and Jimmy Whiteside is still liv ing, halo and hearty, at 96. Now there is a raft of men over 80 years. Among those who are dead are William Thomp son, Randall Thompson and Joe Thomp son, Joshua Lewis. Ephraim Murphy, Henry Stabler and Edward Stabler. Caleb Stabler, Richard Tucker, Perry Lizear, and Jeff Higginsare still living. There is such a raft of boys over 80 that it isn't worth while to mention them. "Now for the big fellows: Ed Penn was 6 feet 4, and Josh was 6 feet 2. Robert Sullivan was 6 feet 5. He had two sons. Will and George, who were 6 feet 4 and 0 feet 3 respectively. Mahlon and Nelson were brothers, and each was 6 feet 4 inches high. There was Richard Sullivan, whom we used to call Long Dick. He was 6 feet 4. He had tw,o sons, Ed and Perrv, who are still living, both 0 feet 2. Dr. Artemas Riggs was a daisy. He was 6 feet 5 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds, without an ounce of superfluous flesh, and was one of the best men in the county. There were three men who were named William Brown, and we had to nickname them to distinguish them. There was Big Bill Brown, 6 feet 3. Long Bill Brown was 6 feet 5, and Little Bill Brown was 8 feet 1. Isaac Moore was 6 feet 3, but his son Nathan went him one better and was 6 feet 8. Perry Lizear is still liv ing. He is over 80 years old, is 6 feet 2 in his stockings, weighs 220 pounds, is straight as an arrow, and one of the best men in the county. 1 tell you what, if you have any children and want them to live long and grow big, just send them to Sandy Springs." Baltimore Sun. A KINGLY EXAMPLE. How Two American Hoys Made the Ae. qualntance of Denmark's King. An exchange relates a pleasing anec dote about two American boys traveling in Europe. Tbey were skylarking in the streets of Copenhagen, and one boy tossed the other's hat into a tree. While the victim was trying to dislodge it, there came along an old gentleman, with umbrella under his arm and his head buried in his book. "Please, sir," said the hatless boy, "will you get my hat?" The old gen tleman fished around with his umbrella for about five minutes, and failing to dislodge tho hat, allowed tho boy to mount his shoulders; and, with tho um brella, he finally captured the hat. As the boy dismounted and thanked tho old gentleman, another gentleman camo along, who saluted and called tho one i with tho umbrella, "Your Majesty." lne boys were astonished to ana that they had in this unceremonious fashion made the aciUaintance of tho King of ! D.-nmurk, und tliey think tho King do I serves the kingdom. In fact he is a capital fellow. Ho loves to mingle with tho people in their amuseinenU, and there is no fol-de-rol of royalty about him. Now this little incident teaches a les son that p;n'har4 some of the Trovers haven't learned: Tho King of Den mark is not the only "royal good fel low" among tho foreign - nobility; there aro, in fact, a number of Dukes and Earls who have really a more democratic- spirit than some of our untitled Americans. There are plenty of people in this country, who haven't the rag of a title, nor much else to distinguish them except their manners, und tho fact that their fathers have managed to scrape together a few dollars ahead of their neighbors yet who imagine that they belong to "the aristocracy," and put on all the airs of a superior' being.; Yet we are willing to forgive them be-' cause they are Americans; but really it is easier to forgive any other kind of a snob than an Amorlcan snob, one who has had all the advantages of being born in this country. When we compare a fellow of this sort with a scion of some titled European family, who is at the game time a gen tlemantreating all whom he meets when we make this comparison we see that calling a man an aristocrat doesn't make him one. The Trove boys and girls, in their anxiety to be strong Americans, must remember that a man may be rich or titled under some foreign social system, and still be a simple-minded, democratic gentleman a citizen creditable to any country; and another may spend most of his time preaching about the "rights of the poor," yet not be half so much a friend to them as the first man, but a low-bred, contemptible fellow. What ever a man's surroundings, "a man's a maa for a' that" Treasure-Trove. A TOOTHEPISODE. The Gus Was Low Hut It Deadened the Patient's rain. It was about two o'clock of a chill morning when Mr. X. presented himself at the door of a doctor in the village of W., after a series of thundering knocks at the door with a good deal of vigorous exercise upon the bell handle, succeeded 1 in bringing that gentleman to the win dow overhead. "What is it?" asked the doctor. "Do you pull teeth?" Mr. X. de manded. "Yes, when I have to," was the reply. "Then I want a tooth pulled." "All right. Come back in the morn ing and I'll take it out for you." "Come back in the morning!" ejacu lated Mr. X. "What do you take me for. Here I've been in torment for these two days, and for the last two hours I've been hunting all over this confounded town after a dentist, and now I'd like to have the job done at once if there is any way to fix it." The dentist at first demurred, but at last he consented to come down and get the tooth out at once; and after a due interval in which he made his hasty toilet, Mr. X. was admitted to the house. The chill of the night was everywhere but X. was too intent upon getting rid of the troublesome molar to mind that, and he was duly installed in the operating chair and an examinatloa made. "Hold on there," X. said, as the den tist, having satisfied himself which was the troublesome tooth, took up his forceps and prepared for work. "I want to take gas. This tooth has given me about all the pain I can stand from it." "Well," the dentist answered, "the gas is a little low, but, if you insist I will give you what there is. It will deaden the pain, though very likely you will feel it some." The conventional breathing tufce of black rubber was produced, and X pro ceeded to inhale for dear life. For a moment the dentist allowed him to pump his lungs full from the gas reser voir, and then, taking the breathing tube away, he quickly whipped in his forceps and whipped out the tooth. "I did feel it some," X. observed, when he was able to ge His mouth in a condition which allowed him to speak. "Did you?" the dentist wskod, sympa thetically. "Not mucn, I hope?" "Not so very muoa," X. replied. "Still, I knew when it came." When, a moment later, X. prepared to pay his bill, and asked the price, he was surprised to bo told a sum which was so small that it seemed that a mistake must have been made. "Hut is that all you ask for adminis tering gas?" he asked. "Oh, bless you," was tho smiling an swer, "there wasn't any gas there. I only let you breathe into the tnbo a little to satisfy jour imagination." X. did not at first know whether to ho vexed or amused, but wisely concluding that the latter was the better policy, he wended his way home, chuckling, and got himself to bed as tho first streaks of the coming dawn began to show in tho. sky.
