The ancestor of Henry Laboa- ehere, Pierre -Cesar Labouehere, was a shrewd business man and lover. Mr. Algal- Labonehere Tho - rend tells in the "Life fe of Henry La- bouehere" how he won at the same time a fiancee and' a partnership in the house of Hope, He was sent by Mr. John Hope to England to see Sir Francis Baring on business, and while there fell in love with Sir Francis's third daugh- ter, Dorothy. Before he left Eng- land he asked Sir Francis to let him become engaged to his daugh- ter. Sir Francis refused. Pierre - Cesar then said, "Would it make any difference in your decision if you knew that Mr. Hope was about to take me into partnership l" Sir Francis unhesitatingly ad- mitted that it would. Pierre -Cesar then went back to Holland and sug- gested to Mr. Hope that it might be a good plan to take him into part- nership. When Mr. Hope diseour- aged the idea, he said, "Would it make any difference in your deci- sion if you knew that I was engaged, to the daughter of Sir Francis Bar- ing tt, Mr. Hope replied "Certainly." Whereupon the wily clerk said, ",Well, lam engaged to Miss Doro- thy Baring." That very day he was able to writs: to Sir Francis, announcing the news of his admission to part- nership in the house of Hope, and. in the same letter he claimed the! hand of his bride, •i: 1)RE.i1lF1) O1'' ll0ME. Soldiers on Field Weary of Beairti- iul Dre nus. In a letter from Private G. Tom- kins, of the Royal Sussex Regiment, to his sister at St.. Leonards -on -Sea, England, the following curious story occurs : "We have a saying out here, `Dont dream of home.' iVhen a man has a particularly vivid dream of home he knows that ie will be killed in his next fight. Mere was a man of ours who awoke the other night from a beautiful dream. He, thought he was back at Some on 'the. •conclusion of peace Ind he had a great reception from ais wife and two children. "The two little anew: were crawl- ing all over him and laughing with delight. They were all happy, .and the thing was so vivid that be had to tell us about it. It seemed to !i please him.

If we could see the ships of the Grand Fleet in the North Sea we may be sure they would hardly pre- sent that spick and span appear- ance which we associate with a ship of war during tunes of peace; their sides all stained with rust all round the water line, and a generally be- draggled appearance—that is if they have been keeping the sea, says the Navy and Army Journal. But the most startling change would be the .strijaped and naked appearance they would present, for gone would lie all sails, boat day - its, ridge ropes; aiad the usual para- phernalia that is parte of any ship's peace trimmings. The vessels are cleared for action 1 Getting a ship ready for the stern test of battle is no light dndertak- ing. At least once aweek during the piping times of peace the whole ship's company are exercised at "general quarters," an evolution which takes a very few minutes to perform. On these occasions the buglers sound off "exercise action," when the guns are "east loose," magazines opened, the guns being loaded with a projectile and dummy charge. Drills are then proceeded with, the guns generally being se cured, and all stores returned lin six bells ---1i a.m. When the ship is going to target practice "action" is sounded, and, of course, the guns are loaded with. a real charge and the firing pro- ceeds until the amount of ammuni- tion allowed for these occasions is expended. Then the "secure" is sounded. That also is a prepara- tory performance alongside' "pre- pare for battle." Then the ship is stripped of every atom of frilling likely to prove dangerous to life and limb. All Wooti Ls Removed. One of the greatest dangers in a modern action is fire, owing to the terrible incendiary nature of the shells used, so that theoretically no scrap of wood should be found in a warship; but as Hien have to live in them during times of peace, a cer- tain amount of wood fittings is ab- solutely necessary for comfort. But every scrap of wood fitting is of a portable nature, and easily re- moved. Oceasionally men go to "stations, prepare for battle," when every piece of woodwork that could be jettisoned is marked, and each man or group of men made to understand for what parts they would be responsible. Just what would be done with boats in action seems never to have been definitely settled. Some effa- cers are in favor of lowering them into crutches on deck or superstruc , tures and filling them with water; others suggest covering them with canvas and binding therm round with rope from stem to stern; oth- ers, again, take the heroic course of 'dropping them into the sea all* well fastened together, and allowing, them to drift where they will. The latter course seems the most practi- cal and sensible one. The only object of the boat can be to save life should the ship be re- duced to a sinking condition, and both the filling of them with water or marling them down would ren- der them useless for this purpose, as it would • take sorine time before they could be made ready for lower- ing, , always supposing: they escaped the shattering effect of stheld. What is being regardedas a geed substitute for life-saving purposes in many ships in the grandfleet is the men's mess tables. These are made of one -inch planking, ace :about three feet wide, and from seven to ten feet long: Floating flat on the water. they ,would sup- port a great, number of•,men.' Im- mediately meals are finished, these tables are dismantled, a ready for carrying on deck, should the need for using them for life-saving • pur- poses arise. Life-saving air belts have•recent- ly been provided. These are worn around the waist and -eau be blown up quickly, and will keep the wear- er afloat if the ship goes down. Everybody= Protected. In our big inodern ships no one will be outside armor protection during the course of an action. There are no secondary arYlanaents to use to -day; for although the 'Jet - ,est of our, Dreadnoughts, the "Iran Duke" Class,` -carry . twelve 6 -inch guns, as did all pre -Dreadnought ships, these are a purely anti -tor- pedo arnitment, and would not be stand their business' thoroughly, used in ageneral action. The gun numbers would he all in their tui- aHaver; yl they dare o.have to' pay them aro alycrtiys,faithful. ?tiltiie I rets, while the remainder would be ° „ below the protective deck and in- I any wages: side the: belt armor. At the ce ineleeeeiment of an ac- tion -that is, if the weather. were clear enough to allow for long range -the 'gun crews would have nothing to do beyond loading the gun, the trainirig, laying and fii;i.ng being carried out by the • control officer in -the control station, situ- ated at the foremost head. It is puite possible that 'a battle Inay be decided before the fleet get near enough for, the individual gun -lav- ers to show their skill. As ,eh:ings 'stand in the North 'Sea,, we have nast•Y stuff. every reason to believe that our r a m ships have uch greater superior- ity of gun -fire over the German. ships than the .Gneisenau and Scharnhorst had over the Good Hope pied Monmouth. Therefore it will be to <nir interest to make the range as far as possible; and, as Admiral .Jellicoe is also ane of our leading, gunnery experts, depen- dence niay be placed upon him. to take every .advantage that superior- ity of gun -fire offers. The great test of a general action, if one takes place, will be the ar- mor -plate, as it is possible that these will be quite vulnerable to the armor -piercing projectiles now in use. In the direction of armor the German ships have a slight ,ad- vantage, but nothing commensurate with our great gun power. 111' -TO -DATE SERVICE. h. ie c joint stiff Three yeaIsr IEN Ai:IDLE I}IOT.O G,• R.PIIS.

Rancher Deseribes Isis Method of Training Thein. Just before the Rio Grande crosses the boundary line between Colorado and New Mexico, it en- ters a box canon whose walla in some places area thousand feet in height and almost perpendicular. For a number of miles, before it en- ters the canon, the river flows through arough country that is worthless for farming purposes. The pasturage even is so scanty that it is suitable only for sheep and goats. The few settlers are all Mexicans. Wolves and coyotes haunt the ]tills and ravines along- the river bank, and the herds must be watch- ed day and night. Near the en- trance to the canon lives a Mexican rancher who owns several large herds of goats. He has Leiner out how to herd his flock without hired help. He sends the herd out. on the range under the care -af dogs, each of which has been raised among goats, and has, in fact, had a goat foster mother. This man de- scribes his method of training his dog herders as follows: "My dogs are a cross between the shepherd and Scotch collie. As soon as the pups are born, I take those that I want to make into herders .away from the mother dog and put them to nurse on a nanny goat, one puppy to a goat. The goat milk agrees with them perfect- ly. They are never permitted to run with other clogs, and know no companions except goats, and by the time they are. grown they have a thorough' knowledge of their adopted relatives. You might al- most say that they were half goat. "After the puppies get their teeth, I have to watch them care- fully, for ,now and then_ one' of them will get the habit of biting the goats. That trait renders the •rlog absolutely useless for my purposes, and I immediately kill him. But biters are very rare„ The dog rais e l in this way soon becomes a natu- ral guardian of goats, and • at a year or so can be put in charge of` a herd. The herds go to the hill in the early spring, and remain there till the first snow. comes. The, dog stays with his herd day and night, drives his . charges to the best grass in ` the morning, and rounds thein up at night on: some good bed ground, just as a human herder would do. And all the time he keeps .a sharp lookout_ for growl- ing wolves ar coyotes. I almost never lose any goats to these 'ani- mals. "I carry food to the dogs once a day. The only time a dog will leave his herd and come in to the ranch• is when I fail to take -him something to eat.' And then he is impatient tq get back to his°work, andas soon as he has got his meal; hurries away. "1 find the clog herders More sat- isfactory than men.

Not only dates, but figures and facts, can be committed to :memory without much effort by making it a rule never to think pf •one thing without `recalling what you want to remember with it.' 'Suppose: you wish to remember a' school friend's address. If you think of the num- ber of the house a,nd:thea name of the street whenever you think of bis home you will never forget it. It is this habit of tying 'one idea or. fact to another that enables some persons to remember quickly, and any one can acquire this habit who will perseveringly follow this sim- ple rule.
