England has at present on fleet duty 14 flag officers, 3,073 commissioned officers, 568 subordinate officers, 1,101 warrant officers, 51,995 petty officers and seamen, 5,194 boys, making in all on ships with the fleet 61,945. For coast guard she. has available 89 commission- ed officers, 231 chief officers of station 3,880 petty officers and seamen, mak- ing a total of 4,200. In the royal mar- ines she has for service, but at present on shore, 358 commissioned officers, 28 warrant officers, 1,173 sergeants, 602 buglers and musicians, 13,202 rank and file making in all 15,363. In other ser- vice such as naval cadets, engineer stud- ents,pensioners,bays under training and various other services, there are 7,342 giving a grand total of 88,850 men. The total strength of the United States navy in officers, men and boys is 13,460, of which 1,010 are marines. These comparisons do not look healthy for the United States. Great Britain however, would not put all of these ships in action in American waters. She could notane her remote borders un- protected. Possibly not more than half of her ships could be sent to the war, while all the United States vessels could be pressed into service. COAST CITIES IN DANGER. The experts who have been taught the theories of war without much of the practice, say the United States, after the first flurry an the Caribbean, would as - Britain would probably attack the de - sumo the defensive. The fighting would radiate from the Caribbean Sea. While the contest there was going on Great fenceless coast cities of New York, Bos- ton, Charleston, and San Francisco. New York and Boston wouldbe shining marks for British guns. It is generally conceded that the coast of the United States would be poorly de- fended. No one believes that the 4,000 miles of American coast line can be pro - tettea b a navy. Tor oda plants ore use- less without batteries torotect them. Of all the coast cities containing many billions of dollars of accumulated. wealth, San Francisco and New York are alone protected, and their protection is lnsuf- ficent and somewvhat unsettled. Some years ago a definite plan of defense was adopted for San Francisco, but it is not completed. A few modern high-power guns and some rifled mortars are in position—a bare beginning of the work required for adequate defense. For this reason the Golden Gate, the greatest harbor in the Pacific coast, would be an early object to attack. Puget Sound would be an easy prey, too. It is an inland sea, practically. Olympia, Tacoma and Seattle are of great commercial importance, and all are defenseless, and Fort Ludlow, Fort Madison and Fort Townsend are within reach of long-range guns. The North- ern. Pacific Railroad terminates there. So do the .Oregon and California Coast Line, tbe Oregon Short Line, the Great Northern and a branch of the Northern Pacific. A hostile fleet once in posses- sion of Puget Sound, the control of these railroads would be an easy step. OBSOLETE GUNS ON THE PACIFIC. The Columbia River,furnishing means of approach to Astoria and Portland, is guarded by guns that are obselete and practically harmless to an armored war- ship. San Diego is unprotected. There is more than -$500,000,000 worth of de- structible property along the Pacific coast within reach of the batteries of ships of war. Galveston is unprotected ; New Orleans is unprotected; Mob ile is unprotected;. Key West is unprotected ; • Savannah is unproteoted; Charleston is unprotected.; Wilmington is unprotected; Washing- ton, Baltimore and Philadelphia are un- protected, excepting by obselete and old- faabioned guns that could not be expect- ed to successfully resist a single modern battle ship, to say nothing of a fleet. Recently a modern battery has been placed on Sandy Hook. There are two forts—one with twelve-iB h disappear- ing guns of the most modern patella, the other with mortars There are ai - teen of the twelve -inch glens. At each charge they send a shell weighing 800 pounds a distanceof three and one-half miles. They aro so accurately rifled that the shell can be directed with pre - THE EXETER, TIMES vision. The sandy Hook defenses are su.- bere. Fort Wadsworth and Fort I-latnil- ton, farther up the bay, have recently been equipped with some modern guns. The arrangements for protecting New York City, however, are not considered adequate, and the plans of the govern- ment are by no means matured. A mod- ern war vessel, like H.M.S. Terrible for instance, could do no harm to New York until she had passed Sandy Hook and the two forts. If a fleet ever aeeom- complished this there would be no way in the world of saving lower New York from destruction unless it was by means of torpedoes. BRITAIN'S SUPPLY DEPOTS. In case of a declaration ofwar the first move would be made toward La Guayra. In two weeks the British could assemble its Atlantic fleet in the harbor. there and, while there axe no battleships in the fleet, the cruisers axe numerous, and good' ones at that. England has within a few day's sail of La Guayra several supply depots that are practically inexhaustible. At St, Lucia, in the West Indies, England has ane of, the most powerful military sta- tions this side of Europe. It has a lance lockeed harbor of aufficent depth for tbe anchorage of the fleet of the largest battleships. It bas adequate quarters and protection for large bodies of men, and in case of war would no doubt de- velop into a western Gibraltar. In. two two.years the British has converted St. Luca into a great naval station. It is Great Britain's strategic point in the IN'ast Indies. It has a station for the repair of ships. Three great forts guard the narrow entrauoe to its hariwr,about two miles from the ocean. Submarine mines, torpedo outfits and all the para- phernalia of defense are in place and ready for immediate action, Of late the island bas been used as a station where insubordinate troops and those whose services at home have not been satis- factory have been exiled for three or four years, St. Thomas, until St. Lucia became Great Britain's station of great import- ance in the West Indies, was her main military point, and carries a garrison .still of several thousand well organiz- ed and equipped men. The United States has no such station near Venezuela. It has not a single possession for the refuge of ships or sup - piles or for the mobilization of troops. It has no place in these waters for the dockingof war ships. It is not in the West ndies alone, however, that Eng- land is strong and the United States weak. Look at Halifax, Bermuda, St. Thomas Kingston and Vancouver. At Vancouver England has one of the fin - sat naval stations in the world. She has the same at Halifax. Besides all these strategic points England has on the western hemisphere to -day an army es large as the standing army of the Unit- ed States. None of tbe United States vessels now building could be made ready for service until two or three months, while quite a number could not be finished within a year under the same favorable. condi- tions. On the other band nearly all the Brit - is o far Brit- ish ships under construction are s along that they could be sent to sea in aix weeks or less. There is an engin- eer on every one of them, and on the larger ones, at least, a line officer and acarpenter and enough men to keep the machinery in order. Besides, there is the enormous merch- ant marine of England, She possesses something like 122,000 ships, sail and steam, and many of these would be fit- ted out under her flag. The grass ton- nage of these vessels is over 13,000,000. The United States possesses less than one-fifth the number tbat England has, and their tonnage is proportionally less. BEEF AND BALDNESS. A French ilalydresser contends That They Go Together, An article has been going the rounds of the French papers on the effect of instrumental music an the hair. It seems to me that the author confounds coincidence with cause, says a writer. He gives the names of a great number of instrumentalists and composers who retained old age with voluminous fleeces. Is not this rather due to race than to music/ So many of the great pianists and other instrumentalists are of Southern or Jewish . ancestry. Wher- ever arace bas carniverous habits, there one finds arthritism and bad hair, or baldness. When the Jews were can - fined to ghettos they, in preparing meat for the table, followed the Talmudic pre- scription by washing it so thoroughly that no trace of red remained in the water. It was thus made sodden and unfit for roasting. The appetite for—it was not keen, and the Jew was free from gouty taint which made warriors and sttemen prematurely old. All the old paintings of Jews represent them with the voluminous heads of hair and beards which are so rarely found with gouty tendencies. The sodden meat was not a good muscle restorer, but Jews did not take to employments that strained the muscles. Rustics who bare a. good milk -and - bread diet have nearly always thick bait, and to an advanced age. Middle class persons, who lunch and. dine on meat, rarely have, after five and twen- ty. I never saw such a collection of biliard balls as in the Italian Parlia- ment, and yet I did not see anywhere among the Italian peasantry scantily covered scalps. Brittany peasant men almost all have as long hair as their sisters and wives, and they do not lose it as they grow old. A very clever doctor whom I know, and who makes capillary disease a special study, as- sures me that arthritiem and baldness go together. He has often checked the fall of hair by prescribinga diet of milk, rice, eggs (sparingly)'and fruit, with, of course, local treatment. The rich or well-to-do go on eating meat as they used, when they had either to go about on foot or on horseback, and really needed meat as hodmen and railway porters still require it. The finest heads of hair that I re- member seeing, in regard to length and thickness, were those of Kilmuck wo- men deaf to music. They had tresses which grew out of the scalp, and touched the ground when they stood. up. But the quality was coarse. These women live on mares' milk, tea and rye bread, varied. occasionly by broth made with the flesh of old horses. One may ,in society almost tell girls whose parents rose from the humblest class to wealth by the superior quality of their hair. Comparative Merits. They were talking about their respec- tive wives, and Jorkins said: My wife has a perfect talent for being orderly; she keeps everything in its place. ThatSs nothing to what mywife does. The way she keeps everything is just out of sight. Children Cry fur PItcher's Castaria! AGRICULTURAL Treatmentof Dairy Cows. From all nay observation 1 aux prepar- ed to say that there is no animal on the farm from which we expect so muck and furnish such inadequate accommoda- tions; writes J.S. Woodward. As a rule: to which there axe exceptions, and 1: all glad to say these are becoming yearly more ralimerous, the stables are low, dark, damp, illy ventilated, and many are so coldthat a piek or crowbar has to be used on winter mornings to clean out the manure, and into.these the cows are crowded so closely that they have no more air space comparatively than a man would have if confined in bis coffin. For fear the reader may think this a fancy sketch, let me give a few instances taken from actual measurement: Last spring I was in a stable thirty feet wide, 105 feet long, and seven and one- half no-half feet between floor and ceiling, and in this stable seventy cows were confin- ed, Yes, confined is the word, for they were kept in rigid stanchions. Not very long ago I was in the stable of a noted. Holstein-Friesianbreeder where the cows would average more than 1,- 200 pounds in weight, and that stable was twenty-six feet wide, fifty feet long and 'onlay seven feet in the clear, and in that stable he kept in swing stanchicus twenty -even cows and the bull. In the first of these the cows would average between 700 and '800 pounds, and had only 337 1-2 cubic feet of air space and 1vitboet a single ventil- ator, except the two doors through which fodder was thrown from the loft. In the latter they badonly 318 1-2 cubic feet and only one small ventilator fif- teen inches square. I have in mind several stables fully as faulty as these in other States, but I will not fill space by mentioning their data. As a rule, the dairymen with such stables are great sticklers for "a breath of fresh air, a bit of sunshine, and a little daily exercise," and no wonder. If my cows had to occupy such quarters I would simply leave them out all the time. Bet- ter by far bave pure air, all the sunshine there is, and a chance to run around to keepwarm than be shut up in the "black hole of Caimans" But no one must expect their rows to do their best, or to make dairying pay, with cows treated in that way. Milk is a "by- product." It comes from consumption as food beyond the necessities of the animal, and in order to get the largest production from minimum of food, the cow must be made just as comfortable as possible, be kept warm and quiet, and le re all the pure water she wants to ditsik. and have it just when she needs it. Men with snob stables as I have des- cribed would make more money to tear out above, or raise up the building so as to give greater height, and then double or move the windows, put in good ventilators, and keep only half the null - tier on sante floor space. No cow ` should have less than one cubic foot of air space, counting her own body, to each pound of Iive weight, and even then there should be ample ventilation. And then the stable should be warm and light and well ventilated. It is ei.mply absurd—it is worse; it is idiotic to crowd cows into these unhygienic quarters and then think that by turning them out a few hours they will be all right. I and a firm believer in close housing of cows. My cows never go out of doors from the first cold. of au- tumn until the cold, raw days of spring are passed, and the grays is large enough to afford some nutriment. But, mind. you, my cows have ample quarters, have plenty to eat, a good bed to lie an, plenty of fresh air to breathe, and fresh water to drink. and they, aro never confined with their necks in stanchions. .It. is many years since I have had ane of these "relies of barbarism" in my stable. I would quarrel with any man who would attempt to put even a swing stanchion in my stable. I like to see my cows lie naturally with their bead around upon their side, and no stanchion, even the best of swinging ones will be allowed. This, the ideal, is a nice little box stall for each cow, but they do fairly well tied with a chain or rope around the neck. T am perfectly willing to risk my cows to be kept ea the way that has resulted.n developing the Jersey, Guern- sey, Holstein, only I would improve an these methods by giving a. little more space, light, and freedom. Clay Soil and Sandy Soii. "After all, our heavy, clayey soils are to be depended upon more than the light, sandy ones. With proper handl- there - noreason Ls whyheavysails handl- ing, should not continue to produce large crops forever. A sandy soil is apt to lose its fertility, parting with it so rapidly that continual fertilizing must be kept up. A heavy clay soil is rich in vegetable material as a rule, and if this is well 'drained, cultivated and every three years clover seeds sown and allowed to grow until nearly two years old before plowing under, there is no reason why excellent crops should not be cropped annually," says the Wis- consin Agriculturist, "A clay soil that is once run down is much, easier to bring up to fertility again than a sandy one. The latter contains not only less fertiliz- ing material, but it parts with that ap- plied to it every year far quicker than the clay soil. The porosity of the sandy soil is against it, and not a recommen- dation. A rich, sandy soil was once con- sidered the highest type of farming soil. Water never collected on it In the spring, and it was ready for working just as soon as the warm weather ap- peared. It was always easily turned over and pulverized. Heavy clay soils, on the contrary, held water, turned over its clods, and pulverized only after repeated plowings and harrowings. "But to -day, with our knowledge of underdrainin , there is no zeason why the heavy sols should not be.ut in fine condition in. the spring. Underdrain- ing and thorough cultivation and plenty of vegetable material in the heavy soils will make them - far superior to 111e sandy. When vegetable matter is ex- hausted, from the clay soil, it becomes harder to work. Water stands for a long time in the spring, no matter how well drained, and the texture becomes so close and thick that heavy clads roll over 'before the plow. When a clay soil acts like this, the best thing to do with it to seed it to clover immediate- ly, fertilizing it beforehand with barn- yard manure. It is naature's sign that its fertility, has been robbed by a succes- sion of heavy crops. "The sandy soil requires more ferti- lizers than the clay for any given cropps,. and if the manure is applied and the land not used, the strength is apt to be carried away into the subsoil. There. je.eeneequeutly a, constant loss an sandy soils, and it. does vet pay to store up fertility in such earth too far ahead. On eley soils all manure and vegetable material will be retained there until used by crops. The fertility can be stor- ed up for half a dozen years in advance; and the amount of loss will be very lit- tle. The richer the soil gets, the better it can be worked for crags, and more satisfactory in all ways will the results be. While sandy soil may be of great advantage for strawberry and small fruit culture, the heavy clay soil, well cultivated underdrained and manured freely with clover, will in most oases of farming prove the most satisfactory and lasting." 601000.11.001.1 Cementing a Cellar. Now is when many people are cement- ing their cellars, either because they have .new ones or because the floor of the old one has never been cemented or become broken or unsatisfactory. To lay a cement floor is a very simple thing to do when you know how. Waldo F. Brown says: If the cellar is deep enough so tbat it can be filled six inches, and Le at all inclined to be wet, I 'would put four inchesaf gravel on the bottom. This should be leveled and tramped solid, and then two inches of cement placed on it. This concrete is made with eight parts of gravel to one of cement, if Portland cement is used, and four of gravel to one of cement if the cheaper grades are used. Mix this thoroughly' dry, by shoveling or with a garden rake and time as it is shoveled over, sprinkle from a. fine rose waterpot, so as to thoroughly dampen, but not enough to saturate it. In puttingdown thisis cement use a level and make a slight fail toward the side where the cellar drain is 10- eated, and along the wall leading to the drain make a depression or gutter six inches wide and two inches deep. This concrete should be laid in sections three feet wide, and the topping applied at once before the next section is laid. Lay down a 2x4 scantling three feet from the wall for an edge to work to, and fill with concrete and tramp solid with a broad faced ram - mer. We eut a piese of 2-ineb oak plank two inches square, and put an upright handle to it, and it makes just the kind of a rammer you need. Now mix one part of Portland cement with two of sharp, clean sand. or if the common cement is used. equal parts. Make the mortar quite thin and polls it down and level it wii,h a straight -edge. One-half inch will be sufficient of Portland, or one inch of common cement, so if the former is *sect you will tack a, half-inch board onto the scantling', or an ineh strip for the latter, and fill to the level of it. harden Sa soon as it 'begins to tr awel to a surface, a c then take up vour edge strip carefully and move it three feet and lar the, next strip, and iso on until you finish. The cast will depend somewhat upon the convenience of sand and gravel. A barrel of Portland cement will lay about 150 square feet with two inches of concrete and a half inch of topping, and it will take about double the quantity at the cheap grades. If the cellar is spouts, or will ever freeze, I would use nothing hut Portland cem- ent, and, as it takes a. better finish and makes a harder floor. it will give the best satisfaction, ODD AND INTERESTING. An Arizona prison has an extensive apiary, which is under the charge of the inmates. A single hive is said to bave produced !.'00 pounds of honey last year, and it is expected that the industry will prove exceedingly profitable. The huge Bruce telescope started Sat- urday from the Harvard observatory an its long and hazardous journeyto the observation station in Arequipa, Peru. This is the fatuous photographic telescope, the largest and most ef- ficient instrument of the kind ever con- structed. Jean Francois Biondin, the famous rope -walker, who crossed tbe Niagara Falls on a rope, carrying a man on his back, has quite recently married again. The last week of November the wed- ding occurred at London, the aged rope - walker marrying a pretty brunette. Biondin is well off, and lives in apretty country house, which he calls the Niagara house. A peculiar incident occurred in New York on a recent Sunday. While a policeman of that city was trying to see what wa.s going on in a "suspect- ed" saloon he soiled his hands; he no- ticed a sink in the ante -room of the saloon,and when he turned onthe ucthe was surprised to finthat he wa.s washing his hands in beer. The keeper of the saloon, was, of course, arrested. Seventy-six years is a good age for a schooner, The Julia Ann, of Win- ter Harbor, Me., has been in active ser- vice for that period, and is said by her captain to be even as good as she ever was. The insurance companies back up the captain's statement, ton. In her long life the schooner 1 SA sailed over a good part of the world's salt water, and is wall known in every harbor on the Maine coast. London is to have another Oriental visitor, the Nizam of Hyderabad. He rules fifteen million subjects and one hundred thousand miles of ter- ritory. His highness, Asaf Jah, is a man of small stature, very reserved, but most hospitable to all Europeans who visit Hyderabad. He entertained the late Duke of Clarence with great mag- nificence six years ago. He is a strict Mohammedan:, and about one-tenth of the people of his territory belong to that faith. How much brighter and more gay the English who have eaten bifteoks" in Paris will be for the knowledge that since 1866, they have contributed to- wards the consumption of 389,975 horses, 10,543 donkeys, and 946 mules. The con- sumption of these luxuries bas grown steadily but surely, and it seems that they now figure in the production of sausages (which will surprise no one), and alsoin salad oils (which will sur- prise D3&iy.)

A despatch frown St. Catharines, says: —A eoroner's inquest was held Wed nesday • afternoon, before Dr. Good- man, to enquire into the death of the boy Wm.

Young Patterson threw something at Kellum, when the latter remarked, "If you do that again I will shoat you." A abort time. afterwards Yasium pointed the rifle toward Pat- terson, when it was discharged, the bullet entering the head aver the left eye and piercing the brain. The boy died about an. hour afterwards. The jury retired, and after deliberat- ing, some time returned a verdict of xnanslaugllter. Young Haslum was locked up at police headquarters. He is only about twelve years of age, while the victim of the sad affair was about nine years old. Noon Always Pull. A well-known scientist was walking along aLondon street when be came across an itinerant astronomer, who was inviting the passerby to gaze through his telescope at the moon at a half penny a time. The scientist in London was speculative enough to venture a half penny, and on applying lais eye to the instrument was astonish- ed. to see a beautiful picture of a full moon, although at the time the moon was only in her second quarter. Puzzled by the circuinstanee, be examined the instrument, and found that it was not a telescope at all, but simply a. tube with a hole where the eye piece should be. and a transparent photograph of a full moon, with a light behind it. at the other end.
