He seems so sorry when he's caught,' His mien is all contrite, - ' . ; He so regrets the woe he's wrought, ; And wants to make things right. But wishes do not heal a wound; Or weld a broken link, The heart aches on; the link is gone And thro' 'I didn't think." I half believe that ugly sprite, Bold, wicked, "I don't care," In life's loig run less harm has done Because he is so rare. And one can be so stern with him, ' v.

Absolute verification of this is donbtful, but a gcod story is told of an incident ".wherein..- the son -proved that he; too, carried in his head some of the astuteness of com mercial intercourse that his father possessed. : The commodore p-esent-ed him with a farm on Staten Island, informing him that he might live there and to make 1 the land pay, as that was all he -cared' to coutribute towards the lad's support. A short time later tin how he was getting along. "Not very good, father," tjie man replied, "What I need badly is some "means of improving the earth."

' ' Duty. ' ' : It is a duty we owe to ourselves, as well as those who are dependent 0n us. to preserve our health, and strength. Aunt Rachael's Peruvian iaiana fitters are found to be an . maiilng and valuable assistant t Maintaining the vigor of the system and keeping it is tone. Excellent for The lact that the battleship Iowa, in her trial trip a day or so since se cured, -for her builders a bonus of 0 $200,000 because. of the extra speed, she attained, has again called up the question as to whether, the money often paid for such excess of speed over that contracted for is money well spent. The point is raised, and very prop erly so, that it would be better to have a little less speed in our battle ships, if by. so jdoing .we could7 apply the weight assigned to the machinery and coal, in order to ootam increased speed, to the battery or armor. It is citd that it is" unlikely that any ship will go into action at aliigher speed than twelve or Ijhirteen knots, and while it is desirahleto have the pow er at hand for emergencies, yet it is to be doubted whether the payment of a bonus like that secured by the build ers ol the Iowa lor the extra speed attained is not too great. Very many people hold to the belief that it might be better to dispense with some little 'speed in order to secure heavier bat tery' and armor, and by this means made our battleships more powerful as fighters. The Iowa's contract is the last of the naval contracts making provisions for a premium of $200,000 for every knot of speed made py the battleshiy in excess of that called for by the specifications stxteen. knots. Under similar contracts the Baltimore won $106,411, the York $39,825, the Nswark $36,587', the Philadelphia $100,000, , the New York $200,000, the Columbia $350,000. the Minneap olis $414,600, the Indiana $50,000, the Massachusetts $200,000 and the Brooklyn $350,000, or an aggregate ot $i,S47,'723 earned by the Cramps.
