In reality the story Is a subtle study of a woman who wa an accomplished husband-hunter, and her methods are worth, of the careful consideration of any young woman who la do alroua of settling herself comfortably In life. It la to be noticed, In the first place, that Ituth was a youns and fascinating widow, and consequently had the advautugt' which a professional always enjoys over the amateur In game.

The is W'lien Mare Island repaired the Si 'lace in twenty-nine days, though forty days had been allowed, and private yards almost never repair transports within contract time, it shows that difference in cfiicicncc is not always on the side of the private contractor. If the navv vards had a chance to build warships there would doubtless be more notable instances of this sort.

But whatever may be thought of the efficiency of the navy yards, the theory that the private yards arc efficient has no facts to back it. The report of the Chief of the Bureau of Steam Engineering for the year ending June 1901. just at hand, furnishes some interesting figures on the point. Here are the facts about a number of warships built or building in the "efficient" private yards: Rattlmhlp Illinois-- Date of contract, September 2, issb; contract (late of completion, September 26, 1899; official trial run, June 12, Machinery practically completed. rtattksblp AlabamaDate of contract, September 24, contract date of completion, September 24, 1SP9; transfer to Government, October IS, 1900.

These are fair samples of the way in which the Government's work is treated by the private yards. The contractors put their mergies into getting penalties remitted rather than into hastening the building of ships. The above table needs to be revised in the matter of "prol'able dates of The Ohio, for instance, will nut be done in June. 1902, nor for many months thereafter. If the navy yards had had as much experience in building ships as the private yards they could do better than this.

Certainly they could hardly do worse. If the Government should do a part of its work in its own yards, the contractors would doubtless find it possible to build ships in accordance with the terms of their contracts.

It seems now that this was a mistake. The Maria Teresa was put out of action by the American fleet, but the other Spanish ships got away and they were caught and beaten, not by our fleet, but by the Brooklyn and Oregon alone, with a little help from the Texas.

Sampson's plan was for our fleet to form a semi-circle about the mouth of the harbor and meet the enemy as he came out. It was tried and failed. Three of the Spanish ships broke the cordon, apparently unhurt, and would have escaped had not the Brooklyn and Oregon developed unexpected speed in the chase. The facts might never have come out if the Sampson ring had not forced Schley into court. Schley said there was glory enough for all, and there would have been if the others had been content to have it so.

But now that the truth has been threshed out on the witness stand, it appears that there was really little more than enough glory for Schley, Cook and Clark. And the victory won by their two ships shines more splendidly than when it was supposed to have been divided among five or six. And now It Is a new disease.

A man should marry a woman whose tastes are like his. At thz came time it must not be believed that the country girl will more readily ndiairs a husband than a town girl. The latter is more or less a woman of the world, and she will not expect to find her lover a flawless hero; whereas tho little country rosebud, born among tho poetry of simple rural life, knows very little of man and his ways. Thus, when she falls in love, she places the object of her affections on the loftiest pedestal her heart can raise, and weaves round his being a network of fanciful Illusions.
