The London Hntnrday Review says "The lesson nf all onr cnnlliots witt America was that tbe American soldieri and sailors shot markedly better thai onr own and won astonishing victor ies. It looks aa if the old lesson buldi good to-day."

No higher tribute oonld be paid to I warship's orew than tbat paid by Captain Evans to the men of ^e Iowa: "Ho long as the enemy atiowed his !Iag they fought like American ses- tneu, but when the flag oame down Ihey were as gentle and tender as 4merican women." In that pregnant lentence ia tbe whole philosophy of military heroism.
Japan apparently believes in the lootrine "in time of pence prepare for war." Hhe has ordered from Finme a aew and exceptionally powerful type >f torpedo, which io to be twenty-four '.nohes in diameter, with a speed of thirty-five knots and a range of 6000 !eet, or 720 feet more than a mile. It a to be fitted with the gyroscope, to ibtain tbe ntmost preoision. If all tntioipations are fnlfllled the gun will tiATe a very formidable rival.

The reoent establishmentof awhale- >il manufactory on Notre Dame Bay sails attention to the fact that whaling !b now a paying venture olT the coast >f Newfoundland. Beoently seven whales, worth nearly (lOOO each, were Mptnred by a oompany of Norwegian whalers. A oompany has been formod to carry on the industry. This ought to make the old flshermon around hmagansett prick up their ears. Pos- libly the old shipyard of Cold Hpring Harbor, which fitted out the whalers >f the last oentury, may resume busi- less.     	
The Philadelphia Comraeroial Mu- lenm says Ihat Porto Uioo is well tdapted by soil and climate uot ouly for the growing of cotton, bnt for the manufacture uf cotton fabrics as woll, though for the growth of the plant it will be necessary to engage native labor or to seoure help from Cuba. Of the nore than one thousand streams npoo the island sixty are navigable, and mauy ot them oould be utilized to furnish power, whioh is an important consideration, since all the ooal used muat ba brought from thia country; aud all the chief towns are connected by railway, though outniuunication with the interior is only possible by 01 teams.

Tbere waa no anawor thia time either, but the door was pushed far¬ ther open, and a girl came ailvntly into the kitchen. Her liiigerH were black, as if she had been cleaning very dirty ailver, and she wnlked over to the sink, poured snmc water into a tin basin and began to waah thein with a delilierate alnwnesa which ma.lo her mother's thin lips tighten and the churn fairly hop about the flour with the vigor of her atrukea.

It wna the only way in which she could, aa i-lio expressed it, "get B,|naru" with bur overbearing mother, ami she had cul tivsted it -till the slight natural tun denoies iu those direotinus bad be oome actual habltn,
Aaahe stood there now, aeeming to wash and dry euch Hcparnle Huger by itself, she did nnt liHik like u puraou who would be trod upnu without liud¬ ing Home way tn turn.
She waa diirk, with a strong, liiind- some face, lieiivy lirows tlmt mel uli,ive a very detenniued nose, u lieitiitifnl chin ond lirigbt, bruwn eyea, but the most nutolile thing uliout her waa her height. Toil, taken in the nrdiiiury sense, wnul.l not duacrilio her, for she stood aix feet une in the Inweat heeled shooa aliu coul.l buy, and the neighlior declared that tlimigh nver twenty sho wua growing yot—a fnct whioh fllled her parenta with jiride, her brother with envy oud herself with fierce rebel lion.
She deteated the curioua louka that fnlluwed hor when ahe went tn tuwn, the inevitable jukea abnut tho state of the atmoaphere "up wh.ire sho wua, ' and referencea to "tlio long uml the shnrt of it" or tlieprnbulilodiiuiiiiitive height nf the mnu alio wniiM murry.
Hhe woa thinking nf it now, ns ahe sow how for alio ha.i tn atonp In reiu-h the basin, ami the little tit <if iiUKcr attendant on tho th.iuglit made Iter even mnre delil.erate tlinn usuul, hu that at loat Mra, StebliiuH hrnko furth in spite nf herself,

"Yon better cul it all," her ninllier called, '"cause there's fuur nf Ihein to-day—pa's gut Joe Sumpanu liel|iiii', ton—an don't forgil to leave Ihe milHtard nut n' .lue'a auii.lwiehea, either.
