THE BOY'S LAST GUESS.

In the days when Board schools were young a visit was paid to one of those schoola by a local dignitary who had theories on the subject of Scripture lessons. He requested the headmaster to pick out a particularly dull boy and let him ask that lad a few_ questions. Whereupon the following dialogue ensued : " Now, George Jones, what do you understand by a miracle?" Boy, looking helplessly at visitor, makes no answer. Visitor (triumphantly to headmaster): "You see, it's as I've always maintained. Scripture must be explained and illustrated if any comprehension of its meaning is to penetrate this aort of skull. He can't tell me what a miracle is. Now;* hear me make him undej-stand." Headmaster sarcastic incredulity): "If you do, sir, you'll have wrought a miracle yourself. I haven't a duller boy in the school. If you'd question some of the : ethers " Visitor: "No, no-, I'll show you what I can do with this one by using oommonsense methods. Now, my boy, pay attention to me. You don't know what a miracle is, oil?" ■ Boy confesses it by silence. "Now listen to me. Suppose you got up in the middle of the night and saw the Bun shining, what would you say it wasP" Boy (doggedly): "I should see it was the moon.' Visitor (argumentatively): "But you couldn't, you know, if you saw it was the sun." Boy (doggedly): " I should see it wasn't." Visitor (recovering from a disconcerting pause): "But if someone told you that it was the sun?" Boy (emphatically): "I should say he was a liar." Visitor (angrily at such persistent stupidity): " But supposo I told you that it was really the sun. You wouldn't flare to tell me that I was a liar, would yoa?" Boy (hesitates a moment, then, in I accents of conviction): "I should say you was werrv drunk.."

The battle fleet secures the command of the sea, just as the Bank of England reserve secures commercial credit, and behind tho screen of the battle fleet, cruisers go to and fro and exercise the command. If the battle fleet be the ultimate arbiter of sea power, then in whatever area the enemy has a battle fleet wo must have a battle fleet, if that area be of importance to us as a great avenue of trade or a highway of military communication.—"Saturday Review,"
