Admiral Cervera’e fleet ae it stande b worth 110,000,000 or 111,000,000. What ie obvioaely wanted, therefore, ie another volunteer expedition to kidnap hie oßoera and men and pre vent them from destroying their ships. The buildings of the University of Virginia, whW» were destroyed by Are something more then two years ago, have now been rebuilt, largely with contributions from friends, and were in-dedicated on last Tuesday June 14, with appropriate ceremoniea. The reconstructed buildings are said to be much more beautiful and impos ing than before the fire. The true policy of this nation is to Mh always prepared for war. Wo should he able to put a large army in the field at once in toy sudden emer gency. It should always bo io exist ence, organised, officered, equipped and drilled It should be a volunteer army, the militia of the states, organ ised under an act of congress. It Should be as complete iu every detail ae the regular army, and the govern ment should always bo prepared to move and subsist it. With such a re serve we shall not need a groat stand ing army. Ind the organisation apd maintenance of such a reserve would coot Io fifty years lees than the raising and equipment of troops hss coot in the last hundred days.—Washington Post. % The amateur strategists are likely to cause annoyance to the profession .ala who are running the war are not in the newspaper offices, but in Con gress. Some of the congressmen, it io said, are now laying plans of campaign which involve sending Admiral Samp son with his fleet to capture the Ca nary Islands, and possibly also to raid the coast of Spain itself, after Santia go and Porto Rico shall have been taken, unless Camara should come out and be destroyed and thus remove the last peg loft for Spain to bang a hope on. The danger in connection with the congressional amateurs is that they posesis influence, and may possibly force actions against the better judg ment of the administration. —Savan- nah News.

Wo might say they often fired • <»n the wing” with very indefinite notions of the range and the briefest instant for training the guns The lov a’e turrets bavf email boxes projecting above the covers for lookouts. Horisontal slits are cut near the tope of these boxes, giving a view of the horisoo. The guns themselves are aimed by means of croM-haira in telescopes, and fired by electric buttons, which are inttsntat onus in their action. Once the cross hair is on the object, the projectile m>iy be sent on its way at a velocity of 1000 feel a second before the roll of the ship baa lima to impair its sccu raey. pnmmmowmHwmwm wummw*| LlvillkMLHil Is the Beet BarneCy ew the | Market for Babies, Children _ I and AAulta. | It Aids Digestion, Regulates the Bowels, | Cures Cholera Infantum, = .

In the old unsatisfactory days of repression of Irish aspirations and curtailment ot Irish privileges an got was f pamed by parliament prohibiting ths was -of filial prefixes O and Mac. Os crams . these prefixes had a more bbvtous meaning 1 in ancient times and held the same mean Ing as toe terminals “son’* in English, “acn" in Danish, “erritoh” in Russian, as the nwto ‘Fits,” the Hebrew “Dur” • and the Wblto “Ap.” This law, framed to obliterate such a natural dlitofeo, was essentially a childish blunder. ItJR»S made perhaps under the influence of toe I old ditty: fiy Mac and O YoaTe sure to know i As Irishman, they say. But if thay lack The O and Mao ) No Irishmen are they. The repeal of this once obnoxious law was movsdamid great laughter in the • oommona, and when Mr. Tim Healy, one ’ of its sponsors, was asked why hp b* l nothing to say on its behalf he eafised a great diversion by confessing with mock solemnity that “words failed him.” —Ih- foreMtonai Magarino NQSXaBTS LEKOV ELIXIR- A Pteaaaat Lemon Driak.
