Tbe United State* have no verseis of that class. The craft are larger than torpedo boats, but smaller than cruisers. They arc heav ily protected, and have very high speed. As their names indicates, their business is to send the pestiferous little torpedo boat to the bottom before it has an opportunity to get in its work upon the large ships. The destroyers i from theit strength and speed, and tbe 1 further fact that they carry torpedoes themselves, are regarded by naval peo ple a* more dangerous than tbe torpe do boats, and hardly less to be feared than battleships. .

Two noteworthy fact* mark tbo bat tle of fotka Champlain and that of Lake Erie. They were tbe only squadron bat tles of the war of 1813, and the two vic torious American commander* were very young. Perry was 38 and Macdonough 80. When Macdonough was but 28. years of age, an adventure at Gibraltar, in 1800, described in Mr. Hpears’ "Histoty of Our Navy,” showed the character of the man. He was first lieutenant of the Yankee brig Siren, and one day while the captain was on shore nt Gibraltar a Yankee merchantman came Into the port and anchored near the Siren.'' A boat from a Britirh frigate near by went directly to the merchantman and in a few minutes pulled away again,, having one more man in it than when it left the frigate. Maodonough noted the fact and sent Lieutenant Pago to tbe merchantman, who returned with the information that the British had impressed one of tbe crew of tbe merchantman. Macdonough ordered the Siren's gig away, manned with armed men, and getting into it himself overtook the British boat alongside of the frigate and took out of it by force the impressed seaman and carried him to tbe Siren. Later the captain of the British man of-war came on board the Siren and in a great rage demanded to know bow Macdonough bad “dared to take a man from one of his majesty’s boats.’’ “I will,” Mid he, “haul my ship alongside the Siren and take the man by force.” ”1 suppose,” answered Macdonough, “your ship can sink the Siren, but as long as she can swim I shall keep the man.” * “You are a very young man and very indiscreet,” said the bully. “Suppose I had been in the boat. What would you have done?” “I would have taken the man or lost my life,” replied Macdonough. “What, sir, would you attempt to stop me if I were now to try to impress men from that brig?” thundered the captain. “I would," answered the calm Mac donough, “and to convince yourself that I would you have only to make the attempt. ” At that the British captain got into his .boat, rowed away to his frigate and then turned and rowed toward the mer chantman. Macdonongh at once manned a boat with an armed crew and rowed out to proteot the brig. The English man rowed around the merchantman without boarding her and then put back to his frigate. He had tried to impress the Yqpkee sailor not because ho wished to add more to his crow, but to show his contempt for the little Yankeo war ship—Youth’s Companion. UNCLE SAM’S DOMAIN. With All of His Extravagance He Still Owns Over 600,000,000 Acre*. The idea that Uncle Sam is at present a landless old fellow has generally tak en possession of the people throughout the country. This, however, is a great mistake. He still has land enough to give each one of his 78,000,000 children a nice little homestead of eight acres each and still have a ranch of over 16,- 000,000 acres left. In other words, your dear old unde still owns something over 600,000,000 acres, distributed as follows throughout the various states and territories: Alabama, 682,839 acres; Arizona, 64,400,211 aores; Arkansas, 8,922,042 acres; California, 48,841,044 acres; Colorado, 4,087,204 acres; Florida, 1,797,662 acres; Idaho, 45,902,856 acres; Kansas, 1,046,689 acres; Louis iana, 846,020 acres; Michigan, 522,481 acres; Minnesota, 6,240,049 acres; Mis sissippi, 41,441,220 acres; Missouri, 497,764 acres ; Montana, 71,482,917 acres; Nebraska, 10,669,868 acres; Ne vada, 61,578,686 acres; New Mexico, 66,988,047 aores; North Dakota, 21,- 885,293 acres; Oklahoma, 8,105,238 acres; Oregon, 35,892,818 acres; South Dakota, 13,250,718 acres; Utah, 44,- 307,270 acres; Washington, 17,958,586 acres; Wisconsin, 454,107 aores; Wy oming, 49,841,688 aores; Alaska, 869,- 529,600 acres. About one-half this vast amount of land lies, it will be seen, in Alaska, and It is very certain that this will never be available for homestead purposes, but for mining purposes its value in cold coin may prove to be even greater than though it were arable. The larger part of the balance lie* in fertile and pro ductive statesand is all subject to home stead laws. Those who want homes should avail themselves of the more liberal than homestead laws of tbe United States. This is the place for the surplus labor. —St Louis Star. Holland. Holland de an abbreviation of Hollow land. It is a low, flat country on the North sea and is composed mostly of deposits from the Rhine and other rivers and of sand thrown up by the sea. Some parts of it are even lower than tl» sea itself, and to keep the water out strong walls calleddikes, made of great stones, timber, turf and day, have been built along the shores. The land was former ly very soft and swampy, but it has been filled up or drawn out by hundreds of pumps, which are worked either by windmills or steam engine*. The wa ter is pumped into canals, which take the place of streets, and tbe people go about on them in summer in little boats drawn by horses or by Hogs, and in winter they travel merrily over the ice on skates, which men, women and chil dren use with ease and grace.
