It would be Intend'd to prepare the

to give them some sort of boid, ac
cording to their strength, on the as
surance “that among the needs minis
tered to by Chrictianlty are aom**
which increase rather than diminish
with the growth of knowledge and th*>
progress of science, and that this re

but a development of theism now more
necessary to as than ever.’*

JUST TO DIVERT ATTENTION
’’mast be selected from
the Indian army.
To become a field marshal an officer
must be e general officer.
As has been mentioned, s field ms^
shat never retires; but. on the other
hand, a retired general officer may be
prometed field marshal. The fact that
an officer Is top of the general list
| does not necessarily mean that he will
get the first vacant field marshal's
baton, (or selection Is made irrespec
tive of seniority. *
Ths field nr.arshal commanding In the
Mediterranean gets 925,000 a year*
Probably a field marshal actively em
ployed will get at least 115,000 a year.
This is better than the pay of an ad
miral of ths fleet, who may be said
to be a naval field marshal, and gets
only s little more than 910,000 a year,
•xcluslve of allowances.
Warship Terms.
The term “light cruiser,'* frequently
occurring in war dispatches, Is new
and Is liable to mislead the casual
reader. It suggests a small vessel,
one employed la skirmishing and in
-imilar service, whereas It may be ap
plied to cruisers of. large displace-
mont and heavy armament. The ori
gin of the term may be traced back
to the desire of the British admiralty
to cola a designation for vessels not
heavily armored, and yet in some
measure protected against the enemy's
fire by their construction, it desig
nates vessels that have only deek
armor and those that are without even
this shield. . Among the "light
cruisers*' in the British navy are many
which displace more than S.OOOMons
each, and^one tremendous vessel, the
Ecllpve, which hss the dimensions of
a dreadnaught.—Boston Transcript.

Negro Girl Had Excellent Beacon for
Head Ornament »That Looked
Strange. ,
One morning Mrs. Wilmingtcki's at
tention was attracted by a strange
spectacle coming up the street. At
that distance ahe could not quite make
it out; it appeared to be some sort of
animal with a headlight fastened to
Its forehead. As It came nearer it re
solved Itself Into the shape of a human
being—perhaps some sheik with a red
fes. But la another mo*)eat Mrs. Wil
mington recognised Martha Maria So-
pbrina Smith, the seventeen-year-old
negro girl who came every Moflday for
tho laundry.
Martha Marla had a flaming red rib
bon four lacbee wide round her head;
It was tied la front at tho roots of her
kinky hair into a hage bow. the wings
of which stood ovtlour inches beyond
forehead.

Italy's Foremost Statesman.
Marquis dl San Qiuliano, Italian
minister of foreign affairs. Is a Sicilian
nobleman of Norman descent, with a
consistent hatred of Austria, notwith

posedly Austria’s friend. He has lived
blxty-one years, more than lialf of
which have been sp.*nt In public life.
First, undersecretary In the ministry
of agriculture, he was transferred in
a subordinate capacity to the foreign
office. In 1899 he was made postmas
ter-general, a position that seems to
have been little to his liking. In 19C5,
however, ha gained the post he long
had sought and became minister for
