Even at this late tlmo In tho world's history, when civilization might bo supposed to have repressed tho prlmltlvo lust for blood and plun der, tbo alarmist has only to lift bis olco In congress to banish tranquility from our bosoms. I Millions are given to promoto the cnuso of universal peace. Vet tho no- Itlons of Europe competo with each other for the privilege of bearing the heaviest burden In tho way of modern armaments. England trembles at tho thought of Germany; Germany, with her rapidly expanding commerce, I leaps to the Dreadnought typo of I naval construction nnd Increases her expenditures to overcome England's iwo-powor lead. Austria lays down four first-class battle ships. Hussla Is laid to be contemplating tho expendi ture of $300,000,000 on her navy. Tho United States Is warned that In no long tlmo Germany will oust her from tbo second placo upon the seas. Not tho least Important business of peace would seem to be tho preparation for war. One Is reminded of tho ancient Chi nese sage who was sent to Europe by bis emperor to investigate the merits of tho Christian religion. It was n troublous time. The great nations were locked In a death struggle; bat tle Holds ran with blood; violent schisms sprang up and were sup picssed with slaughter; the continent was no better than a huge shambles. After tho eago had looked his fill be roturned to bis emperor. "China Is too peaceful a nation," he said, "to bo adapted to tho Christian faith." Peace Dove Is Elusive. It Is possible to believe that this shrewd Oriental had not made a pro found study of Christian ethics: but I at least ho had seen that during somo centuries of acceptance It had not ! availed to put an end to tho horrors of . war. Perhaps tbo essence of the thing Is better understood today, and yet I bo would bo an optimistic prophet who should declare that the era of unbroken peace had dawned. The country was recently warned that Its standing nrmy is Inadequate to repel foreign JnasIon This was met by the declaration that the sea is still tho nation's Imprcgnablo bulwark, and that while tho navy floats no hos tile nation could land a force. What, then, is the condition of tho Ameri can navy 'and what aro Its facilities In the way of nan! baso and coal sup ply In tho event of war? Notwithstanding the greatly Increas ed cost of naval construction, which was Introduced with the Dreadnought type, tho government has during some years followed tbo practice of laying down two battle ships annually. The appropriations for tho five joars end lug Juno 30. 1311, reach $593,727,861, as against $131,971,877 for the preced ing fle-year period. This program has placed the American navy In tho second placo with a total of 152 ships, carrying 13C guns and having a dis placement of 717,702 tons, Germany comes next, with 209 essoin, carrjlng 100 guns nnd hating a tonnage of 666, 035 Many Fighting Monsters. At tho present tlmo England and America have four Drendnoughts each of about equal tonnage Germany has three and Japan one Hut Germany, which formerly built small battle iMps. hus turned to Dreadnoughts In nil attompt to otercomo England's great lend nnd when the prosent pro gram of the nations has been curried out she will sttnd sei ond Ilrltaln will then li8 Ketmtcen of these monster S 7 V. :& . .jsaa iWI engines of destruction, Germany thii teen, the United States ten, Japan sL and Russia and Italy four each. But in the meantime the Panama Canal will have been opened, and the efficiency of tho American nay al most doubled. Up to now the larger portion of tho fleet has been kept In Atlantic waters, but with tho canal open It would be possible to effect a change of position In case of need without serious delay. A writer signing himself "Novarch" emphasizes, In an artlclo on "Tho Dis position of Our Fighting Fleet," in thq Columbian Magazine, the importance of tho new naval stations In the Pa cific. Ho speaks particularly of Pear) Harbor at Hawaii, where a naval base Is now being established, and of the dry dock Dewey at Olongapo, ulxtj miles from Manila. "Tho protection of our Atlantic coast," he says, "lies In a fleet based on Guantanomo, and the protection of the Pacific coast lies In a fleet based on Pearl Harbor. Both Guantanamo and Pearl Harbor aro Ideally situated In their respective spheres. The form er Is centrally located with referenca to tho Panama Canal and our Atlantic coast, and a fleet based thero would command all tbo avenues toward tho canal. Hawaii stands In the Paclfld as our outpost, and no power could successfully approach our Pacific coast without taking It and meeting victoriously the strong fleet which we would maintain there." North Carolina Bear Hunts. Jones county farmers are making a regular campaign against the bears, which are giving hog raisers no end of trouble. A year ago some of the farmers bought a couple of bear dogs, from which they have raised a pack Almost dally bunts have been con ducted, and tho nine bounds have never failed to get a bear. Recently there -was a hunt on MID creek. In which twoscore men partlcl pated, and these wero delighted to sc th'e skilful way In which the dogl handled the bear, the latter, true tc his fighting style, sitting upon, hti haunches and fighting. Henry Olivet finished the bear with a bullet. The leading bear hunters jire V. A. and W II. Bender, who are the owners of the pack. In that section there are many small swamps, with a thick growth ol bay and other trees. In which bears and deer take refuge. It is a capital hunting ground for northern sports men In tho winter. Raleigh corro spondence Forest and Stream. The Laird's Pictures. Some jcars ago a Scotch laird found on succeeding to his estates that thi house contained two portraits of a dig tlngulsbed member of the family whe had flourished during the reign ol George III., one by Reynolds and th other by Roeburn. He knew no nort of pictures than a -Newfoundland dog nnd he decided that two portraits ol the same individual need not be itept The Reynolds 'was rotalned, while the Raeburn was presented to a public gallery The worthy man was struck with constrnatlon some time afterward when ho found that his gift had been valued nl $25,000 and probably the picture would now fetch double tha amount New York's Debt Is Heavy, Now Yorkers ar the bjgget bop rue. era In the world; -it 'least they are so collectively, for the city ot,ei seven times ns much as any othnr city In the lountry and moro than one half as much as the largest 27 ottn: i tfis Ii ih 1 nd KATz.3ia flel-isssft :mb In spite of speculation In modern house building and the shoddy mate rials and methods of construction too frequently seen, the fact remains that, on the whole, we build better today than they did in the "good old days" of our forefathers. And this, too, In spite of the fact that tho problem of building today Is infinitely more com plicated than that which confronted tho builder of colonial times, owing to tho unexampled complexity of com mercial nnd Industrial conditions now marking a transitional period In the development of American cltyand sub urban life. In tho olden days all life savored more or less of tho country, with its comparative simplicity of con ditions. Now, however, the scene Is transformed. Tho marvelous progress of mechanical Invention, the creation of new materials and processes and of rapid and powerful lavor-savlng de vices used in building construction, tho wide development of natural re sources, the rise of new and complex industrial conditions, the rapid growth of Industrial centers, the extension of the facilities of commerce, the great lessons of the flro risk all thes have been reflected moiv or less In Ameri can contributions to the art of build ing ns such. Moreoer, tho architect end tho builder of today havo advan tages that wero not at their command a century ago. The range of available and adaptable building materials has greatly broadened, thus giving a selec tion that did not exist in former days; and this advantage Is emphasized by tastly Improved transportation facili ties which place at the disposal of the builder the varied materials, not only of this entire country, but of the en tire world. It Is only, however, within the past thirty years, with the revival of the long lost art of 'concrete working, the advent of tho steel structural frame, and later the combination of steel and concrete In what Is known as the "re inforced concrete" typo of construc tion, that anything of great Importanco really new has been developed in the art of building in this country. Even to this day, outside of the Spanish missions, thero can hardly bo said to be any distinctively American type of architecture, the results so far devel oped being merely an eclectic treat- .- baBed on well tried old-world First Floor Plan. traditions, though Infused In some rare Instances, as in tho buildings of the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, with a breadth of conception and an lnef fablo spirituality of treatment which bavo been seen only here. It is probablo that In the "colonial" rtylo of architecture a modification ot tho type developed In England dur ing tho reign of tho four Georges, and benco sometimes called tho "Geor gian" with Its quaint freedom of treatment of the Roman orders and Its traces of classic roflnemont, wo tppronched as near o -vo havo evor lone to the development of a truly national type of American ttrchltoc mre, and In our modern work It Is not afrt utterly to disregard the ruleB hi lt'i 't wab b(isMl I I II 3 t! to 'ho CJ rL-- IPC " lonlal" Influence, with its central hall and symmetrical layout on either side.

The hall upstairs opens directly into threo spacious bedrooms on the sides nnd front ot the house, each well light ed nnd provided with nraplo closet ac commodation, the large bedroom on. the left having two of theso conven. lences so much appreciated by tho housowlfe.

"Tho statement that a man was s liar does not bear tho weight it used to do. There were times when, if ono man called another a liar, that man was called to account for it It might even bo In a duel." said Lord Justice Vaughan Williams, speaking at tho Union Society of London with regard to lies told at recent election petitions.
