An admirable pond seen some years since was made in the following man- ner: A hole, some twelve feet in diam- eteer five feet in depth wastirst dug. and this was plastered with mortarl to the depth of four inches. at the sides and bottom. A piece of lead pipe was .put' in to make the desired drain. and due respect was paid to constructing a place outside of where it went through. so that the water would drain off through a layer of rocks and sand. When the mortar was dry it was treat- ed to a coat of cistern cement. In the center was constructed a miniature. is- land of stones and earth. and upon_it -w- 'vâ€"vâ€" was a mass of foliage and flowers. while pink, white and yellow water lilies fill- ed the space. around it, and some tad-' poles grew to be sedate frogs under the shade of the broad leaves.

The French folk may be devoting night and day to bringing their naval forces in- to a decent state. but it is certain that our dockyards are. if anything, less active than usual. This inaction is not the outcome of any supineness or inability to appre- ciate the gravity of the situation. it is rather the coolness of the foreseeing man who has all his preparations made. and doesn’t intend to waste breath in unnecessary vapourings. Recently our correspondent inter-l viewed a prominent dockyard official on the situation. What is the best we could do in the way of mobilization ?" said he. "Why“ it need be. we could commission a squadron of cruisers here this after- noon and have them of! the French coast by to-morrow morning. “It is true we are taking things very quietly. but why should we do other- wise? We can afford to take things coolly. The French may have to work night and day to get their ships into trim, but ours are ready. “What is the use of our Fleet Re- serve and our mobilization schemes but to prepare for crisises like this? Why, we could send out a formidable fleet from our home dockyards prObably about THIRTY GOOD STRONG SHIPS without any particularly great exer- tion. “At Portsmouth alone we have a squadron of useful cruisers, all lying There is no doubt that if the neces-i sity for such action should arise our fleets would be found capable of swift- er action than a good many Britishers think them to be. For some years past the Admiralty have been quietly ap- plying lessons learned from other pow- ers. and from our own experiments, to perfecting our naval organization. And so-well has this been done that? the ships in the Fleet Reserve at our various dockyards are â€" actually. not supposedlyâ€"ready to put to sea at practically a moment's notice. The naval mobilization which was Britain’s reply to the Kaiser’s famous telegram must not be accepted as a sample of the best we wn do in this way. It was a good. broad hint to the Emperor, and it served its purpose. fair. About 48 hours is the time offi- cially supposed to be required for get-I tinga ship in the Fleet Reserve ready for sea. But so far as the ships themâ€" selves are concerned. a very much shorter time than this would suffice; it is obtaining the men to man them that would cause the greatest delay. Every ship in the A. division of the Fleet Reserveâ€"that is those that have been passed as completed for the pen- .nantâ€"requires but to take aboard a crew and itsperishable stores to be ready for active service. _- _A__-j :_LA LL.“ EVENTUALIIY CAN BE FACE!)

But few people hve any idea of the thorough way in which everything connected with these ships _"r vâ€"w â€"â€" this is only a part of the system. The stores of every ship in the reserve nrle carefully “laid apart"1n the victua - ling depot of the dockyarzl to which she belongs. so that they can be taken aboard at any moment they may be wanted. In the big victuallxng store houses lie huge piles of provisions. “V “WI, .-V â€"_° ' t __ _ Each Ship’s complement of stores is placed in a separate pile. which con- tains everything from the unallest pantry requisite to plate for use in the ward-room. There are barrels of rum. boxes 0! sugar, biscuits, tinned provisions and mess traps. Each pile is labelled with the name of the ship for which it is intended. They are placed together systematically. and never touched except when wanted for use. unless it be to examine the con- [tents of the cases. or to change the 81‘08 that has stood so long in cask that the authorities deem it to have become so potent e. spirit FOR J ACK’S CONSUMPTION.

At the end of the cruise ‘ service, such as the annual manoeuvres: ‘the officers are allowed to return the plate into store. \Vith respect to the manner in which our ships compare with those of other naval powers, a good deal that is interesting might be written. but it is an undoubted fact that our‘ navy was never more ready to meet a foe than it is at the present moment.

The most precious relic in all Eng- land is an old Gothic chair which stands in the chapel of St. Edward, in I \Vestminster Abbey. It is made of black oak in the gothic style, and the back is covered with carved inscriptions, in- cluding the initials of many famous men. The feet are four lions. The seat is a large stone, about thirty! inches long, by eighteen wide and; twelve thick, and all the sovereigns of England for the last eight hundred years have sat upon it when they were crowned. The chair is known as the Coronation chair, and the stone is claimed to be the same, which Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, '. used as a pillow, when he lay down i to sleep on the starlit plains of Judah. i1 The kings of Israel were crowned 3 upon ‘ they ruled a natio I mon and the rest. “ ‘ £2_‘ ‘nulnt‘fod “v..- “â€"â€" The 8:01:57 goes that and eighty years before time of the Bapxlogiap and eighty years before Christ, at the time of the Babylonian captivity, Cir- cea, daughter of Sedekiah, the last king of Judea, arrived in Ireland, and was married at Tara to Hermon, a prince of the Tuatha de Dananâ€"which is said to be the Celtic name of the tribe of Dan.
