THE TH BS i ENGLAND IS TO TO CONTROL THE SPANISH NAVY. Great Britain to Retain An Option on $40,000,000 Worth of New War Vessels. Madrid, May 12.--The decision of the Spanish government to rebuild the Spanish navy at a cost of $40,000,000 was taken primarily with a view to restoring Spain's dignity upon the sea, but also for the purpose of encour- aging a revival oi the Spanish ship- building industry, The decision has a particular im- portance for England, as the contract probably will go to Vickers, the Eng- |. lish firm, and Great Britain retains an | option upon the ships until they are completed, notwithstanding the fact. that they are to be built in Spanish vards, by Spanish workmen. In other words, during the pending naval tivalry between Great Britain and Ger many, the former, without expense, has a fleet of now ships under way which can be taken over should war clouds suddenly darken the horizon. It is, moreover, understood bere that Great Britain is pressing Portugal to executo an agreement enicred into by the late King Carlos wherchy four large new berthing docks capable of taking 24,000-ton ships are to be con- structed on the Tagus, opposite the site of. the present arsenal.

Straits to Which Bashful Lovers Are Driven, If ever a woman understood that poor creature, a man in Jove, it was surely the immortal Mrs. Todgers, when she delivered herself thus : "Men are so much more timid than we think 'em, my dear. They balk themselves continually. I saw the words on Todgers' lips for. months and months before he said em. You give Mr, Moodie, a little encouragement, and he'll speak fast enough, depend upon it. And ii ladies only knew the mute egonies their lovers sometimes undergo before, in desperation, the fateful words are blurted out, a little charit- able encouragement would more often be forthcoming. There is something pathetic, as well es amusing, in the straits to which bashful wooers are sometimes driven. all for want of a little timely en: couragement and help. For months a diffident swain had tried in vain to nerve himself for the fateful question. One day, ae luck would have it, he found his ladylove seated by the fire, knitting stockings, with a fine tabby et her feet. After a long and painful silence a happy inspiration seized him. Taking the cat. on his knce, he stam- mered out, "Pussy, ask Lizzie if she'll marry me." "Pussy," promptly re- torted the blushing Lizzie, "you can tell Jamie that I'll take him." Another bashful wooer found the necessary inspiration in a prayer book, which he handed, open, to the lady of his heart, with the words un- dorlined, "Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband 7" In a' mo- ment the book was back again in his hands with the required answer, un- dolined 1 "1 will. Even widowers, with considerable experience of woman and her ways to aseist them, do not always find the path to a proposal ome of roses. When Prof. Haldane, of St. Andrews, had chosen the successor to his departed sohouse he said no word to her, but set to work to refurnish his house and invited the lady to inspect the nest' he had. prepared for her. She was de- lighted. "It is just perfect," she ex- claimed in her enthusiasm. "Na, na," stammoved the professor, whose op- portunity was at hand, It's not per- fret. It .canna be that while there's one thing wanting." '"Whatis that?" asked Miss Fane, in affected innocence. The professor caught up his hat, and as he made for the door, apswercd, "Ehy dear me, it's not perfect, It canna bo till-it's got a--sideboard !"' The poor man's courage had failed him at the last moment More sucgessful was the lover after repeated failure to propose in person, hit upon the happy idea of presenting his fair lady with a phono- graph and a number of cylinders. The lady's confusion and possible delight may be pictured when, on (rying one of the records, she heard a familiar voice cntreating her in impassioned tones to be his wife. How the answer was returned we know not, but that it was "Yes" is certainly on record-- to pun a livtle. Equally effectual and micotventional was Daniel Wébster's method of winning a wife. "One day, when kneeling before his ladylove, he suddenly dropped the skein of silk she was winding off his hands, and made, with a piece of tape, a true lover's knot. The lady completed it, and a kiss sealed the bargaing Even the tongue of gossip has made to help a bashful lover out his dilemma.

British Whig Press BUTTERFLY TYPIFIES SOUL, Strange Superstitions of Peasants in Russia. The butterfly is generally accepted in Russia as representing the sould. Witches leave their bodies in the form of moths or butterflics when thoy go forth on the seerct errands of their detestable sorcories. When the sus pected witeh's soul has been observed to creep out of her mouth and to fly away, the 'recognized mothod of deal- ing with her 'is as follows: She has fallen into a trance owing to the abr sence of the soul, and the position of her body must be reversed, her head being placed where her feet should be. The returning soul, which is evidently not very sagacious, cannot find the accustomed entrance to its home and wanders about as a butterfly while the witch dies. On the occurrence of a death in Rus- sia, if the relatives do not give alms away at. the funeral the soul of - the defunct will return as a moth and hover around a-eandle until-it-be ap- peased. Tradition does not mention what action should be taken by rela tives if the moth be singed, which might. be construed into a forecast. of its doom in the world to come. Another belief of the same sort is that the spirit will return as a fly. The old women mix a dish of sweot syrup and alcohol and sit up with it, in the hope that "the ghost of the dead may be enjoying a carouse among the other insects partaking of this re- freshment. Again, it might be atked, what if tho soul fell in and got drowned, through intoxication, like wasps im summer time ? It is a curi- ong fact that ip the prowinee of Yaroslav the name of the butterfly is ishichka,"" , meaning "sweet littl soul," as it is the endearing dimi- nutive of "Dusha,"' the soul.
