BRAZIL'S NEW NAVY.
Brazil has decided to'construct a powerful Navy, according to Dr. Paulo Rodriguez Alves, ex-President and twice Financo Minister of the big South American Republic, who is now in Europe. • In conversation with an' "Over-Sea Daily Mail" representative, Dr. Alves said: "Wo have placed orders in Great Britain for a total of thirty warships—four Dreadnought battleships and twenty-six cruisers, with torpedo-boats and gun-boats of various grades. Great Britain got the business because she outbid all other nations, including Germany and tho United States."
Ireland, once called the Island of Woods, is now tho least wooded of all European countries. We v/oukl lament tho destruction of Chartres or, Rouen Cathedrals, or of AVestminster Abbey; but we have ruined a greater beauty in Ireland than theso ever disclosed without the sorrow of a national regret.— " Irish Homestead." If. federation is to be dependent on tho recognition of the claims of natives to citizenship and the ownership of land South Africa will not see ainy union of its.Colonies in this generation. It will remain divided for the sako of a handful of noisy cranks who have no .idea how the natives can and must be handled.—" Times," Kroonstad.
