Kot far from St. Thomas, a matter of perhaps a hundred miles, was fought the most wonderful naval battle in all history. The Dutch admiral detected the enemy In the early morning, when the sea was covered with a thick mist, and his guns opened fire at once with- out warning. The fire was returned with Interest, the ocean fairly quiver ing with spasms caused by the shock of frequent discharges. Somehow or other the enemy’s shots, which sound- ed llke o bombardment, seemed to fall short or go wide of the mark, for not even a splash of a ball was heard, and the Dutch ships remained unscathed. On the other hand, the Dutch could not see the terrible execution their guns were dolng until nearly the middle of the forenoon, when the fog lifted, re- vealing to their astonlshed gaze not the vessels of the enemy, but a great rock standing out of the sea. They had been firing at it for five hours, and the sound of the return shots they heard was the echo from the solid wall of granite. They named the place Redonda, which means sent, rolled or driven back, and Redonda it is to this day. An Unexpected Owner. Nearly all the giddy youth of the neighborhood attended the charity bazaar, and one by one they drifted to 8 stal] where a tiny, shapely, scented gray xld glove reposed on a satin cushion. Attached tv the cushion was a notice written in a delicate feminine hand, which ran, “The owner of this glove will, at 7:30 this evening, be pleased to kiss any person who pur- chases a sixpenny ticket beforehand.” Tickets were purchased by the score, and at 7:30 a long row of sheepish, not to say doggish, young bloods were as- sembled outside the stall. Then, punctual to the moment, old Tom Porson, the local pork butcher,: who weighs twenty stone and is al- most as beautiful as a side of bacon, stepped to the front of the stall. “Now, young gents,” he said in his best “buy, buy, buy,” tones, “thls ’ere glove belongs to me. I bought it this morning. Now I'm ready for you. Come on. Don't be bashful. One at & time!” But nobody came on.—London Tele- graph. e A Square Deal 1s assured you when you buy Dr. Plerce's family medicines—for all the ingredi- ents entering into them are printed on the bottle-wrappers and their formulas are attested under oath as being complete | and correct.

This thorough course of treatment generally cures the worst cases, In coughs and hoarseness caused by bron- chial, throat and lung affections, except con- sumption in its advanced stages, the “Golden Medical Discovery” is a most efficient rem- edy, especially in those obstinate, hang-on coughs caused by irritation and congestion of the branchlal mucous membranes. The “Dis” covery " is not. 5o good for acute coughs aris- ing from sudden colds, nor must it be ex- Dected to cure consumption In its advanced stages—no medicine will do that—but for all the obstinate, chronic coughs, which, if neg- lected, or badly treated, lead up to consump- lon. it 1s the best medicine that can be taken.

Such destruction Invites | devastating floods in mountaix streams and causes the surrounding land to dry up. Forests act like vast con- densing screens. They preserve a moist atmosphere about them, atten- | uate the force of torrential downfalls, { promote a more gradual melting of the snow in early spring and protect the soll against too rapid evaporation. And yet the manner in which forests act their beneficent part is not exactly such as might be supposed. They pre- vent a large part of the rain that falls froin reaching the soil at all. It is es- timated that lu Buropean climates the forests evaporate directly or transpire physiologically four-fifths of the rain that falls upon them. Thus the forest atmosphere is no less important than the forest-soil in equalizing the cli- matic conditions of a country,—~Youth’s Companion = i PO Tale of a Coat. The clawhammer, or evening coat, has many oddities of cut. These oddi- tles were once essentials. There was, in fact, a tlme when every idiosyn- crasy of the clawhammer served some useful purpose. The cuiaway front of the coat, for instance, was originally cut away so that the wearer when on horseback would not he incommoded. The two buttons at the back were for fastening up the tails out of harm’s way, each tail having in the past a buttonhole at its end. The sleeves, with their false cuffs, are relics of the days when sleeves were always turned back and therefore were always made with cuffs that unbuttoned. The col- lar, with its wide notches, is a sur- vival of the old collar that was notch- ed in order that its wearer could turn it up conveniently in cold or stormy weather. The dress coat, in a word, is a patchwork of relics—relics once es- sential, but now of no use on earth— Philadelphia Bulletin. Webster’s Fine Talk to a Fish. I had a chat once with old John At- taquin, then a patriarch among the few survivors of the Mashpee Indians, He had often been Mr. Webster's guide and companion on his fishing trips and remembered clearly many of their happenings. Tt was with a glow of love and admiration amounting to worship that he related how this great fisherman, after landing a large trout on the bank of the stream, ‘“talked mighty strong and fine to that fish and told him what a mistake he had made and what a fool he was to take that fly and that he would have been all right if he had left it alone.”” ‘Who can doubt that patient search would disclose somewhere in Mr. Web- ster’s speeches and writings the elabo- ratlon, with high intent, of that “mighty strong and fine” talk address- ed to the fish at Mashpee?—“Fishing and Shooting Sketches” by Grover Cleveland. A Literary Tragedy. ‘When Carlyle had finished the first volume of his great work on the French | revolution he lent the manuscript to his friend John. Stuart Mill. One even- | ing soon afterward Mill entered Car- Iyle’s door, pale as Hector’s ghost, with the dismal information, gasped out in almost inarticulate words, that with the ‘exception of about four or five sheets the manuscript was completely annihilated. Mill had left it too care- lessly lying about, and a servant, think- Ing it so much waste paper, had burned i It. Five months of steadfast, occasion- | ally excessive and palnful toil utterly lost! For three weeks Carlyle could do nothing but read Marryat's novels. Then one night, sitting talking to his cook, he decided it should be written again and -eventually finished “such a task as I never tried before or since.” Ruskin’s Opinion of Mrs. Carlyle. Ruskin spoke with scornful amuse- | ment of- such mistaken enthusiasts as { wished to enroll Jane Welsh Carlyle among the martyrs on account of her “man’s” bad temper. He admitted that Carlyle was frequently grumpy and i habitually melancholy—*but so am I” . —and he was easlly irritated. “That clever shrew,” his wife, well knew this and by the very tones of her voice as she “rasped out his name” could set his nerves on edge in a paroxysm of febrile Irritation.—Seribner’s. ] Typhotd.

The growth of credit Institutions, the spread of/fiduclary relations, the en- meshing df industry in law, the inter- lacing of {government and business; the multiplication of boards and inspect- ors, beneficent as they all are, they In- vite to sin. What gateways they open to greed! fet in on/\ls! How idle in our new situation/to intone the old litanles! ‘The reality of this close knit life is not to be seen and touched; it must be thought. The sins it opens the door to are to be discerned by knitting the brows rather than by opening the eyes. It takes Imagination to see that bogus medical diploma, lying advertisement and fake testimonial are death dealing instruments. It takes imagination to see that savings bank wrecker, loan shark and investment swindler in tak- ing llvellhoods take lives. It takes Imaglnation to see that the business ot debauching voters, fixing juries, se- ducing lawmakers and corrupting pub- lie servants Is like sawing through the props of a crowded grand stand.—H A, Ross In Atlantie, Living In Coral Houses. The church built of coral is one of the curlosities of the Isle of Mahe, one of the Seychelles Islands, In the Indian ocean. The Seychelles Islands, which are supposed by many to be the site of the Eden of the Old Testament, form an archipelago of 114 islands and are situated about 1,400 miles east of Aden and 1,000 miles of Zanzibar. They rise steeply out of the sea, culmi- nating In the Isle of Mahe, which is about 8,000 feet above the level of the ocean and Is nearly the center of the group. All these Islands are of coral growth. The houses are built of a specles of massive coral hewed into square blocks, which glisten like white marble and show themselves to the utmost advantage in the various tinted green of the thick tropical palms, ‘whose Immense fernlike leaves give pleasant and much needed shade. These palms grow as high as 100 feet or more, overtopping both the houses and the coral built church. They line the sea- shore and cover the mountains, form- ing In many places extensive forests. The Boring of Glass. Strong glass plates are bored through by means of rotating brass tubes of the necessary diameter, which are filled with water during boring. To the water there is added finely pul- verized emery. It is sald that thinner glass can be perforated with holes in an easier manner by pressing a disk of wet clay upon the glass and making a hole through the clay of the widths desired, so that at that spot the glass 18 laid bare. Then molten lead is poured into the hole, and lead and glass drop down at once. This method is based upon the quick local heat- Ing of the glass, whereby it obtains a circular crack, the outline of which cor- responds to the outline of the hole made in the clay. The cutting of glass tubes, cylinders, ete., in factorles Is based upon the same principle. Moderation In Exercise. It Is better to be lazy than dead, and it 1s probably just as comfortable. For obvious reasons the preseription to take moderate exercise is misleading and unsatisfactory. Most of us are consti- tutionally incapable of exercising mod- erately. We begin violently and end quickly. And what is moderate exer- cise? One philosopher who tried it for twenty years arrived at this conclu- sion: “Keep a pair of Indian clubs in your bedroom. Look at them frequent- ly. Exercise by their suggestion.” This has the merit of moderation. It Is the same as to walking. Smell the morning, look down the long way that separates you from- your business. Then take a car.—Detroit Free Press. Anticipating Him. “Katharine,” said Bob as he brought his club chums down to the depot platform, “these are all my friends.” “Glad to: meet you, gentlemen,” re- plled the. bride sweetly, “and I am 8o sorry that you are going to be sick.” “Bick?” echoed the crowd In aston- ishment. “Why should you think we are golng to be sick?” ““Oh, because soon after the honey- moon a married man always finds a great many sick’ friends to sit up with.”"—Columbus Dispatch. Not of Much Account. The lord chief justice of England used to sing In the choir of a parish church. A woman once asked the verger to point out Sir Richard Webster as he then was. The verger replied, “Well, ma’am, that's the vicar and them's the curates and I'm the verger, but as for the choir, as long as they does thelr dooty we don’t inquire into their hante- cedents!” Stupid. “I wish I was half as beautiful as Miss Brown.” remarked the fair Edith to Mr. Green. “Well, you are, you know,” replied Green, thoughtlessly. Then he wondered why she suddenly rose and left him. Peculiarities of Napoleon. Napoleon’s father was a toper, a man utterly lacking In moral sensibility, and his sisters were immodest and hys- terical. According to Dr. Cabanas, Pauline was particularly so. Napoleon himself was exceedingly sensitive to atmospheric changes, was headachey and had auditory illusions. He had twitchings of the arms, the shoulders and the lips. He was at times the most Irrltable of men, often being un- approachable. His manla for destruc- tion was such that he whittled pieces of furniture, broke articles presented to him, pinched bables while pretend- Ing to caress them and took keen de- light In shooting Josephine's rarest birds. The slightest opposition threw him Into a paroxysm of rage. But in a campaign all weaknesses vanished. His pulse ranged ordinarily between thirty and thirty-five beats a minute and never went above fifty-five. The usual pulse rate is about séventy-twe At minute. .

In traveling about one either drives in a sledge or Is carried in a hammock. The streets. and adjacent roads are paved with small and curiously smooth cobble- stones, and from the first it was found that runners were better than wheels both for speed and comfort. For in- stance, when you come to a hill the oxen draw your sled to the top and are then unhitched. Your driver then proceeds to toboggan your conveyance gently down the other side, while the team trots on behind. Horses are not ovallable in Funchal, as the nature of the cobblestone roads would soon ruin their feet. This is why the ox, with his flexible hoof, is the draft animal of Funchal. For expeditions into ‘the country the hammock is used. This is slung on a pole, carried on the shoul- ders of two men, and is perhaps the most comfortable conveyance in the ‘world—no jar and no need to guide it. A City on the Clifis. Precisely why the town of Bonifacio, In Corsica, Is bullt to the sheer edge of the cliff which forms the sea front- age of that part of the Island is a ques- tion always asked by the traveler who views Bonifacio for the first time, and he reiterates his question when he ob- serves, upon visiting the environs of the place, that there Is plenty of room for the town to have spread out In an inland direction. The early Corsicans apparently thought that farm land was worth more than city real estate and 8o crowded their dwellings to the dizzy edge of their 200 foot precipice. One's first impression is ihat these houses, with their walls on a vertical plane with the cliff, were purposely so situ- ated that the body of a victim of a dark vendetta murder might be con- veniently dropped out of the window Into the sea beneath, with no one the wiser. Certainly there Is a suggestion of romance and mystery In the aspect of the town. It forms, at any rate, one of the oddest sky lines in the world. | Bear Hunting. Bear hunting, with the assistance of guides supplied with a well trained pack of hounds, may be satisfactory if merely the killing of them Is desired, but it certainly is no sport and de- serves not even to be ranked with trap- ping bears, as in the latter case the hunter must possess at least some knowledge of the quarry’s habitat and habits. Unlike a fox, a bear, when once found by the hounds, stands no chance whatever of escaping, and there would be just as much sport in shooting the animals in a park or pen as to kill a run to bay bear. And, while this truth applies to mountain llons also, there is not even the ex- cuse of the animal's destructivéness, which is applicable as far as the lat- ter is concerned.—Field and Stream. The Poodle, Why is a poodle, so called? Some one says: “Probably the natural an- swer would recall the old lady who said that no credit could be given to Adam for naming the pig, since anybody would have known what to call it. ‘Poodle’ seems so obvious a name for this dog. And, In fact, this Is not far from the truth about the origin of the word. It is quite recent in English, not being found before 1864, apparently. It is the German ‘pudel,’ which comes from the Low German, ‘pudeln,’ to waddle, and the dog must have been so called, as Skeat says, either because he waddles after his master or because he looks fat and clumsy on account of his thick hair.” Coldness of Ice. It seems strange to think that some ice is-colder than other ice. The term “jce cold” always seems to signify a definite temperature. All water under similar conditions freezes at a certain definite temperature. But when the thermometer falls below that it con- tinues to affect the ice, making it hard- er and colder. The test has been made by placing a piece of ice from the north and a piece of ice formed in the vicinity of New York near a stove to- gether. The former took much longer to melt than the latter.—New York Tribune. Viewing the Remains. It had been a strenuous afternoon for the devoted teacher who took six of her pupils through the Museum of Nat- ural History, but her charges had en- Joyed every minute of the time. “Where have you been, boys?”’ asked the father of two of the party that night, and the answer came with joy- ous promptness: “We’ve been to a dead circus.” Rubinstein on Plano Playing. ‘When a pupil happened to ask Rubin- steln how certain passages should be construed, he invariably showed them. But if a pupil asked, “Shall T play this in this manner or that?’—both equally correct—Rubinstein invariably replied: ‘“Play as you feel. Is the day rainy? Play it this way. Is the day sunny? Play it the otber way.” Cutting, A certain photographer is exhibiting in his window the photograph of a young man with the following inscrip- tion attached to it: “This is the man ‘who put his hair in curls to have his photograph taken and then can’t pay for them.” Usefal Fewwn, Many different reasons are assigned by people for their unwillingness to submit to the extraction of teeth. But it was no fear of pain which was up- permost in the mind of Miss Mehitable Lamson of Willowby when told by the dentist that she wonld be much bene- fited by the loss of two of her prom- Inent teeth. “You say they can’t be filled,” she sald, In evident distress, “and you couldn’t get any others in for me for more’n a fortnight?” The dentist admitted reluctantly that 1t was so. “Well, then, I suppose I'll have to get on as best I can.” And Miss Me- hitable seated herself in’the torture chair. “But I don’t see how I shall make out. Here I am, chambermald to the Willowby Inn during the sum- mer, and it's chock full of fol with Jots o' transients coming nnm and. those are my plllowease teethi® | E A Dartng Wasp. 5 - Some wasps live in part upon honey, ‘which they collect from the most open petaled flowers, and thus to a very moderate extent they may be regarded in the light of flower fertilizers. Kirk- land says in the first volume. of the American Naturalist that “the paper hornet (Vespa maculata) often enters my nucleus hives when I am rearing Itallan queen bees and captures the Yyoung queen in the midst of her little colony, usually just after she has com- menced her first laying. I have seen this depredator enter the small hive, drag out the queen and fly away with her to the woods” (page 52). Some of the specles of the genus polistes store up honey which Is polsonous, from the fact that it has been collected from polsonous flowers. They are found in South Amerlca, where also specles of the genus chartergus occur—wasps that make a very remarkable and tough nest, with funnel shaped combs Inside, arranged one inslde of another, nest fashion, but not In contact ex- cept at their points of suspension. At the apexes of these cones occur the apertures of entrance for the inmates to pass up among the conical tlers. Steering the Ship. The work of steering a great ship, even with the aid of modern machin- ery, Is much more delicate than one would imagine. The larger and faster the ship the greater is the difficulty. It is not enough to hold the wheel in the same position to keep the ship on her course, for the wind and waves and the currents of the ocean tend constantly .to knock the ship off her course. The great wall of steel (for the hull may be 700 feet long and sixty feet high) offers a broad target for the wind and waves, The art in steer- ing is to humor. the ship to these forces and when she Is deflected bring her back quickly to her course. If you could watch the binnacle, especially In bad weather, you would see the needle of the compass constantly shift- Ing from side to side, which means that the great steel prow is not going forward in a perfectly straight llne.— Francis Arnold Collins in St. Nicholas. New York’s Cab Drivers. A driver has to have a license. That mysterious official, the mayor's mar- shal, grants one upor the payment of 25 cents and two written testimonials of honesty. A man may come out of Sing Sing, whither he has been sent for highway robbery or stoning the minister's cat or any other crime, if he presents two greasy letters—one of any Jones and the other of any Smith— stating that he is an honest fellow he will get a license. No inquiry is made. His references are never looked up, Indeed, if you are a desperate criminal —gullty of murder or failure to pay alimony—you can do no better than take out a license and hide on top of a cab.

The Henslans Played. It is a matter of record that upon the first official celebration of Inde- pendence day by the Continental con- gress music was secured for the occa- slon by forcing the Hessian band, which had been captured by George Washington at Trenton In the previous December, to play in the public square all day, to the great delight and amuse- ment of the people. It is also stated that these involuntary celebrants were obliged to practice-appropriate alrs for three weeks previously In order that they could not plead lgnorance as an excuse. Curlous Coincidences. When the Ring theater, in Vienna, was burned, with great loss of life, one of the other playhouses of the Austrian capital was playing Paille- ron’s “Le Monde ou l'on $’Ennuie;” when the Stadt theater, In Vienna, was burned another theater in that city was playing “Le Monde ou 'on §'En- nuie,” and on the evening of the day when the fire in the charity bazaar In Parls took place the Theatre Francals was announced to play “Le Monde ou I'on S'Ennuie.” Jealousy. “That word ‘communist’ my dear,” observed the young husband, correct: Ing her, “has the accent on the first syllable.” “How do you know?”’ “The dictionary says so.” “I never saw a man as prejudiced in favor of dictionaries as you are!” exclalmed the young wife. “I wish you had married a dictionary!” Origin ot the Balloon. The word balloon means “a large ball.” To Montgolfier of Annonay, France, the invention of the balloon is credited. It is said that he was led to turn his attention to balloon making trom the following incident: A French laundress, wishing to dry a petticoat quickly, placed it on a basket work frame over a stove. To prevent the heat from escaping by the opening at the top of the petticoat she drew the belt strings closely together and tied them. Gradually the garment dried and became lighter, and as the stove continued to give out heat and rarefy the air concentrated under the basket work frame the petticoat began to move and finally rose in the air. This 80 astonished the laundress that she ran to her neighbors and asked them to come and witness the strange sight. Montgolfier was among .those that came in. The petticoat suspended In midair suggested greater things to him, and he returned home with “gomething to think about.” He at once began studying works on differ- ent kinds of atmosphere, and the ln- vention of the balloon was the result A Weather Stone, A writer tells of a curlous stone that 18 tv be found in Finland. It is a natural barometer and: actually fore- tells probable changes in the weather, It Is called a semakuir, and its pecu} farity is that it turns black before ap- proaching rain, while In fine weather it is mottled with spots of white. In- vestigation has shown the stone to be a sort of fossfl, mixed with clay, rock #alt and niter. When the alr 18 molst, the salt turns black; when the air is dry, the salt ghows in white spots on the surface of the stone. THE COMFORTABLE WAY. EAST BOUND. No. 108..Park Rap. .s Line..7:10 a. m.
