BRITISH PREPARED FORA NA.-
VAL BATTLE.
••••.
Every Sailor Is Protected on the,
Great Modern Battle-
ships.
If we eould. See the ships of the
Grand Fleet in the North Sea we
may be sure they woultIleardly pre-
sent that spiek and span eppear-
awe which we associate with a ehip
of wee during times of peace; their
sides all stained with rust all round
the water line and a, geeerally be-
draggled a,ppearange—thet is if
they have been keeping the sea,
says the Navy and Army Journal.
But the most garbling, charege
would be the tripped and naked
appearance they would pre,sent, for
gone would be. all sails, boat dav-
it's, ridge ropes,and the usual pasa-
phernelia that is part of any ship's
peato trimmings. The, veesels are
' cleared for station! " • '
Getting a ship ready for the stern
best of battle is no light underbak-
big. At least once a week 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 oceasions the
buglers sound off "exercise action,"
• when the gu.ne are "ease loose,"
Magazines opened, the guns being
loaded with a projectile and dummy
charge. Drills are then proceeded
with, the `vas generally being se-
cured: and all stores -returned by
six bells—ii a.m.
When bhe ship is going to target
• practice "action ' is sounded, and,
of coarse, the. gene are loaded with
a real charge and the fusing pro-
ceeds until the amount of ammuni-
tion •allow -ed for these occasions is
exec2ieded. Then the "secure" is
sounded. That also is a. preperee
tree- perfonnance aloeggde "pre-
pare .or batilr.- Then the ship is
stripped of every atom of frilling
likely prove dangerous to life
filld limb.
A11 Wood Is Removed.
One of the greatest dangers in a
modern action is fire, owing to the
terrible incendiary uature of the
thells used, so that theoretically no
scrap of wood should be found in it
warship ; but as men have to live in
them during times ef peace, a cer-
tain amount of wood fittings is ab-
solutely nebeseary for ;comfort. But
every scrap of wood fitting is of a
portable nature, and easily re-
moved, Occaeionally men go to
"stations, prepare for battle,":
when every piece of woodwork that
could be Jettisozed is marked, and
cesili man or group of men made to
understand for what parts they
woukl be responsible.
Just what would be done wieh
boats in action seeras never to have
' been definitely settled. Some ofa-
, cers are in favor ef lowering them
into orittches on efeek or superstruc-
tures and filling them with water;
others suggest covering them with
oanyas and binding them round
with rope from stem to stern; oth-
ers, again, take the heroic course
. of rleopping them into the sea all
well faebened together, and allowing
them to drift where they will,. The
latter course seems the most praoti-
cal and sensible one,
ll'ic 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 same time before
they cou'd be nia.de ready for lower-
ing, always supposing they escaped
the ellatberins effect of shell.
What is- being regarded as a good
subs ti late for life-saving purposes
• In mealy ships in. the grand fleet is
the men's mess tables. These are
made of one -inch planking, are
about three feet wide, and from
cm', en to ten feet long. Floating
' fiat on thc water, they would sup-
• port a greet, number of men. ffina-
mediatcly meals are finished, these
tables are dismantled, ready for
• carrying on deck, should the need
for using them for life-saving pur-
poses arise.
hife-saeing ail' belts have recent-
, ly been pi•ovideel, These are worn
around the rea'•et and -can be blown
up quickly. and will keep the wear-
er afloat if the,ship goes down,
'Everybody Protected.
In Mar big modern ships no one
will be outside armor protection
during the course of an eaten.
• 'note are no secondery armaments
to use to -day ; for .although the lat-

THE GOAT D fo (4 S.
A Illexietin Penciller DescribeIlle
Method of Training Them.
Just before the Rio .Grande
crosses the boundary line between
;Colorado apd New Mexico, it en-
ters a box canon whose wae
Some plaices are a, thousand fest in
tueight and almost perpendicular:
For a number of miles, before it en-
ters the canoe, the river flows
through is eough country that is
worthless for farming purposes.
The peeturage even is so scanty that
it is suitable only for sheep and
goats. The few settlers are all
Mexicans.
Wolves, and coyotes haunt, the
hills and ravines along the river
batik, and the herds must be watch-
ed day and night. Near the en-
tran.ee to the canon lives a Mexican
eancher who owns several large
herds el goats, He has fend out
how to herd his flock without hired
help. Ile sends the herd out on
the range .under the care of dogs,
eath of which has been raised
among goats, and has, in fact, had
O goat foster mother-. This man de-
scribes his method of training his
dog herders as follows:
'My dogs are a cross between the
ehepherd and Stotoh • collie. As
soon as the pups are born, I take
those that I want to .-rnake 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 dogs, 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. Thal trait renders the dog
absolutely aseless for my purposes,
and I immediately kill him. But
biters are very rare. The dog rais-
ed in this way soon becomes a natu-
ral guardian of goaes, and at a
year or so can be put in charge of
a herd: The herds go to the hills
in the early spring, and remain
there till the first snow comes. The
dog stays with his herd day and
night, drives his chargee to the
'best grass ie the morning, and
rounds them up at night on some
good -bed ground, just as a. Inman
herder would do. And sill the time
he keeps a sharp lookout for erowl-
ing wolves or coyotes. I almost
never lese any goats bp these ani-
mals,
"1 early food to the dogs once a
date 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 to
get back to his work, and as soon as
he has got his meal, hurries away.
"1 find the dog herders more sae-
isfactory than men, They antler -
stand their business thoroughly,
and they are always faithful. More-
over, I do not have to pay them
any wages."

Was Duly Invited.
A gentleman was chatting to his
wife in the presence ofhis little
daughter, and remarked, "We will
ask Mr. Brown to come and dine
with us to -morrow. It takes .him all
his time to keep his heed -above wa-
ter." Mr. Brown was duly invit-
ed, and came. As soon as he had
got comfortably settled in a chair
the litble daughter 'went and sat on
his knee, then started stroking his
hair. "Well," she said, with much
surprise, "yet -Er hair isn't wet."
"No, little women," said Mr.
Brown, "why should it be wetl"
"Papa said it took yen all your time
to keep your head above water, so
I was sure, your hair mutat be very
wet,"

Prof Franklin H. Giddings, of
Columbia University, oonsicleeed to

• says concerning the war:

of the violation pi neutrality, from

"If the alljes. win there wiR be a

i"Now, disterding.all the bosh
about what shoold be,a,nel fa.eing
things as they are, this one great
fact stands -out: Thoughtful men are
saying: If Germany wins it will be
our turn next. Now, whether they
are right or wrong as to that, there
ca.n be no question aS '60 What it
means. ,
"It means that if Germany wine
we become a militaristic nation.
We have no choice. Democrecy

autocracy; must arm to preserve
libertyaind all the things this eoun-
try stands for. We have a popula-
tion of 100,000,000 which is growing
faster by immigration than that of
any other country, and will grew
still faster after the war. We have
O stupendous amount of natithel
wealth. For every dollar that Gar -
many puts up es an ante in the
great game of armament the United
States will have to put up two.
• Misdirected Efficiency.
"Of 'Meese this will 'give pain to
mealy goodpeople, and great num-
bers of us will be sad and not ap-
prove of it; but that is not the
issue. It is not what we want to
do but what we shell. have to de.
The fact we have to face is that if
Germany evine„ eightly or wrongly,
and Whether we like it or not, the
United States will beccime one of
the greatest militaristic nations on
the face of the earth. Not because
any one wants it, but because it
would be,our only salvation.”
"After the war, if the allies win,
the whale world will ask itself one
question:
"How did Germany do it.? How
did she Make herself into so mar-
vellously efficient anorganization
that she came within an ace of es-
tablishing herself as the world
power and imposing her will and
her ideals upon all the rest of man-
kind?
"The world will 'ask these ques-
tions not with any idea of emashing
e military power that will have
ceased to be a menace, but with the
intention of copying and utilizing
the thinge that have made Germany
so great and powerful. What will
the answer be? This: ,
"Long before the rest of the
world got onto it, Germany discov-
ered tha value of natioeal efficiency.
Biernarck, first of all, and then the
ruling group in Germany get onto
the idea that national efficiency is
the only thing on whith, a :weary
can build up real end leeting power,
and thee it couldonly be attained
by bringing about a preetioal work-
ing agreement 011 the on,e hand and
the great ;meliorations anetth.e peo-
ple on the other. Why ehould not
the whole world do this?
• Real Calve of the War.
"One of the real causes of the
war is the break -dawn of the intel-
leetu,al nea.ebine of the Germans. it
got eo that tt could only see things
in- terms of force. If you look
through the verioue white and blue
and yellow papers you will see that
the Germans made every peeeible
mistake of diplomacy. Same of the
things Germ= statesmen saki and
aid' were downright et -lipid.
"The Germans had devoted thene
%elves to building up their military
organiem, to the extention of trade
end be the elevelepanent of their in-
dustries.; all of which, within limits,
were very commendable things. But
they carried their militarism to the
pint Of abuse; they carried their
trecte greed to eiteh an extreme that
they ceased as a nation to be in-
terested—tie they were two genera-
tions age—in the intellectivei life,

chere, Pierre -Cesar Labonchcre,
was a shrewd busineSs inan and
lover, -Ply. Algar,Labotrehere Tho -
veld tells in the "Life of Henry La-
boll:chore how lie won at the same
time"a fiancee and a partnership in
the honse of Hope.
He was sent -by Mr. John Hope to
England to see Sir ;IFrancis Baring
on business, and while there fell in
love with Sir Francis's third .daugh-
ter, Dorothy. 'Before he lefb 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 .,differeme in your decisien if
you knew that Mr. Hope was about,
to take me into partneeship 7"
'Sir Francis unhesitatingly. ad-
mitted that it would. Pierre -Cesar.
then went back to Holland' a,nd sug-
gested to Mr, Hope that tt might be
a good plan to tree him into part-
nership. When Mr - Hope discour-
aged the idea, he said, "Would it
make any differenee in your dem-
skin if you knew that I was engaged
to the daughter of Sir rreneis Bar-
ing 7"
Mr, Hope replied "Certainly."
'Whereupon the wily cleilt said,.
"Well; I am engaged to Miss Doro-
thy Baring." •
That very day 'he was able to
write eci, Sir Francis, announcing
the news of his admission to part-
nership in the house of Rope and
in the same 'letter he claimed the
hand Of his bride.

READ THIS V_ERY CAREFULLY
"For years t was thin and delicate.
I lost eojor and was easily tired; a,
yellow pallor, pimples and blotches on
nay face were not only mortifying to
my feelings, but because I thought my
skin would 'never look nice -again I
grow despondent.' Then my appetite
failed. I grew very weak. Various
remedies, pills, tonics and tablets I
tried without permanent benefit. A
visit to my sister put into myhands
a box of Dr. Hamilton's Pills. She
placed reliance upon them and now
that they have made me a well woman
I would not be without them whatever
they migbt cost. I found Dr. Hamil-
ton's Pills by their mild yet searching
action very suitable to the delicate
Character of a woman's nature. They
never once griped me, yet they estab-
lished regularity, My appetite grew
keen—my blood red and pure—heave
rings under my eyes disappeared and
to -day my skin is as clear and un-
wrinkled as when I was a girt Dr.
Haniiiton's Pills did it all."
The above stralghtforWard letter
from 11Trs. J. Y. Todd, wife ot a well-
known miller in Rogersville, Is proof
sufficient that Dr. Hamilton's Pills are
wonderful woman's medicine. 'use
