It used to be the rule in the navy that' officers wore required to defray traveling expenses out of thelr own funds, and upon reporting at the new station they were relmbursed from the Unlted States treasury after the usnal delay incident to ‘‘ved tape.” Unless officers had money put by it proved ex- tremely embarrassing to have to meet the expenses of a loug journey. Naval efficers tell of an Incident that ocourred gome years ago, when a notably im- pecunious officer on duty in New York recelved orders to proceed to Sitka to Join one of the ships of the Bering sea patrol squadron. - The officer, who had no ready money and could not persuade any of his friends to make him a loan, wrote a long letter to the secretary of the navy -asking to be relleved of hls orders or to be furnished with money to defray his traveling expenses, The socretary saw. in the letter an attempt to get out of unpleasant duty, and a peremptory telegram ordered the offl- cer to proceed at once. He obeyed, first telegraphing as follows: “Have proceeded In obedlence to or- ders on foot. Next address Harris- burg.” Needless to say, upon his arrival in Harrisburg he found a telegram au- thorizing him to draw travel money in advance.—Lippincott's Magazine, Yale “S8poon Men.” For many years down to 1872 the wooden spoon was the most coveted honor of a Yale course. It did not necessarily indicate the highest schol- arship, but it was voted by the gradu- ating class to the most popular man. The “spoon man” of a class was its hero, according to the Hartford Cou- rant. The other boys loved him, and he was almost invariably a person who Justified that affection. The list of “gpoon men” would include some of the ‘most eminent of Yale graduates. There were nine members of each class selected by their classmates, and || these were known as “cocks,” which is short and English for “cochleaureati.” To one of these nine was awarded the spoon, and they all joined in a public performance called the wooden spoon exhibition, at which the -ceremony of presentation was gone through with all the wit that-a college class could mas- ter. The last “spoon man” was Robert B. Lea of Nashville, Tenn,, of the class of 'T1. He died years ago in Paris. Tricky Maoris. There was quite a large influx of Europeans at the opening of a public hall in one of the Taranakl villages. The Maoris seemed to have developed a craze for “change.” Visitors were approached by a Maori in this wise: “You got two single shillln’ and te ikipenny for te half crown?” And the change would be given. Others want- ed two sixpences for a shilling, 2 shil- lings for a florin, and so on. By and by came dinner time. The visitors trooped in'and enjoyed their feed. A collection was taken up. Not a soul of them had anything smaller than a 2 shilling plece. That’s how the “child of nature” got home on the civilized product. Mapmaking: The earliest.maps of which we have any knowledge were made in Egypt. They were wooden. tablets, on which ‘were traced land and sea, roads, rivers, highways, etc. Marinus of Tyre, 150 A. D, was the first to attempt a map on sclentific principles. The maps in use by the Greeks and Romans were falrly accurate, so far as they went, but those in use during the middle ages were alarmingly inaccurate. It is only within recent years, say since the middle of the last century, that it was possible to make a complete and rellable map of the world, and even yet the best map is subject to slight changes.—New York American.

TURKS IN CONPLETE CONTROL | Are Wreaking Terrible Vengeance Upon the Albanians. Belgrade, May 17.—The rebellious}] parts of Bulgaria are ‘described as “smoking wildernesses” in récemt dis- patches from the scenes of fighting between the rebels and Turkish troops.
