AN ENGLISH OPINION.
Our rruKr'' Toward a w Nary Pro
linuiH'fd KrniMrk.ble.
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.

NEATNESS WINS A MAN.
Madge" Ha. .last Hritrd of. rieanant In
stance of t hn Kind.
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. Madge, in London

WHERE MAN THRIVES.
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. Boston Courier.
