however, is not entitled to a pension,
not having served in the war. It is be

suddenly seined with a violent pain iu
his back. He says he supposed it was

but it lasted five months and caused

this did not satisfy him. for he says;

The play was Richard III., and it
was during an Intermission that I no
ticed him sitting opposite—a shriv
elled little man, colored in faded sepia
tints, with blind-seeming eyes. By
those eyes I recognized him; for when
I had last seen him, fifteen years ago,
he had not been shrivelled at all and
that head, half bald and half gray, had
been well covered with rich brown
locks; but the same eyes—the same in
trospective look that the Greeks gave
their statues by dispensing with eyes
altogether.
I was filled with sympathy. What
could have changed him so? Ill
health? Trouble? My dear old profes
sor! Chrysostom, Goldeninoulh. Silver
tongue, as I had fondly nicknamed him
in boyish admiration. For Professor
Eustis hail the rarest gift of eloquence
that I have ever known, and could
pour forth an unpremeditated flood of
beautiful, classical English for a couple
of hours at a time. He was that most
attractive kind of literary man, natur
ally a poet, but with a solid, labori
ously-acquired foundation and super
structure of logic. So when he spoke
you would be sure of beautiful image
ry. sometimes springlike, Ghauncerlan,
with the delightful changing light and
shade of the first fuller-lighted days
of March; again, there was never any
one who could be at the same time so
tropical and yet so chaste. Neverthe
less, it was not for this that he spoke
or you heard him. There was always
a clear message, a profitable instruc
tion.
His fault, and that an Ineradicable
one, wras a lack of sympathy with life
—his life was entirely in his mind.
He was conscious of this, and had
tried to overcome it, I am sure, for I
have never known anyone more un
failingly kind and cordial of manner.
But his refinement was so far removed
from the crudity of ordinary mortals
that he was necessarily isolated. Yet
these same crude ordinary mortals are
honest enough to acknowledge real su
periority when it comes before them,
so that he had a goodly number of ad
mirers and friends after all.
I crossed the theater, took the va
cant place beside him and was soon
listening to a richer conversation than
that of old days.
“Well, John, 1 was quite proud the
other day to see that one of my old
boys had taken his Ph. D. 1 congrat
ulate you.”
“Thanks, yes—and what are ‘the
rights and privileges appertaining
thereto?’ On commencement days
President C- utters that phrase
with a large and lordly air, as though
he were conveying to us some mys
terious wealth, a veritable treasure of
Monte Cristo; and at the same time he
smiles, a generous, yet slightly hu
morous smile—the same that one
wears in the game of ‘Hold fast what I
give you.’ What does he mean?”
i “Why, the right to work aright. You
i know how to work in the domain of
J truth and light. The right to delve in
the mines, to plough the fields, to
forge the metals, to traffic in all the
marts and on all the seas, for the ben
efit of humanity. The privilege of
holding communion and intimate com
panionship with the great minds of
this and every age. Well may Dr. C—
smile to feci himself the almoner of
such gifts as these, John; how noble
j is the life of the searcher for truth by
j the inductive method. Who loves the
■ truth so much as he who makes him
; self a slave for the truth?”
Just then Richard did something
| had and the people laughed again.
"Why are these people laughing? A
aigh moral indignation would seem to
oe more appropriate.”
“Ah, my boy, still good at asking
juestions. Richard Crouchhack is a
'airy tale to frighten children with.

«g historically servile in this play,
t is he and not Richard who dose

moral, things, for the simple purpose
5f causing us to go back to the days
»f our childhood, before we became
.•asuists, the days whin we could be
unused by Bluebeard and Jack the
Slant-killer.”
Still I wandered, “What has changed
him so? What can have changed him
so?’’ but I dared not ask him. Never
was there a man more impersonal. He
told you cone of his experiences, im
posed none of his conclusions upon
you. He was always suggestive, stim
ulating. never dogmatic.
Howeyer, the play over, I was grati
tied at parting by an invitation to call.
Ho was at home on Sunday afternoons.
I departed much elated at ♦ e "right
mi l privilege' to which I had attained !
of becoming more intimately acquaint
ed with this man whom I so intensely
aemired.
The next Sunday afternoon saw me
Joyfully wending my way to the id
tlress he had given, anticipating a
tight of some fine did editions, meet
ing brainy people, and looking at rare
works of art. “Yes, with his exquisite
taste, his pictures will be worth see
ing, I am sure.’’ To all these joys
there was a dim background o£ (hick
carpets, book-lined walls, bu3tj of all
the old Greeks, and so on. 1 was get
ting near the place now, and as a
vision of a courteous footman with
sil\er salver in hand, arose before my
mental vision. I began to look whether
I had a card about me. It was per
fectly natural, 1 think, that these ap
propriate surroundings to such a man
should thus arise in my mind.
I met some brainy people, and I
spent one of the pleasantest afternoons
of my life, but I didn't see any rare

quisite pictures were there, but they
were cheap copies of Breton and Mil
let. Such a plain little house! Now I
understood, in part at least, why the
professor had shrivelled and faded.
There was the same shadow over
nearly every one of the company. All
seemed to have exceptional gifts of one
sort or another which would probably
never be brought to perfection, because
culture of that sort costs. They were
all the broader, perhaps, on that very
account, and all were bright, with a
brightness that I could not understand
till I caught the explanation in a dis
quisition of the professor's upon the
work of Breton and Millet.
“With the originals in the Walter's
gallery close at hand, one can do very
well with these copies. Indeed, I grow
more in love with my industrious lit
tle ‘Shepherdess’ every day. See, John.
i3 she not far more beautiful than the
little Dresden nothings in pink and
blue? Goodness and industry and con
tent are such beautiful things. These
girls of Breton's, coming home from
the fields—is it not worth while to be
poor, to be so strong, so happy? To
have health and unbroken slumbers?
These Christian peasants, so homely,
yet so elevated, have nothing, yet pos
sess all things. See in the ‘Angelas’
they rise to the highest height. The
work of these artists is the apotheosis
of “hadden gray,” and there is no end
to the depths of beauty to be found in
it. It is timely work, too, for the
world was fast losing the old-fashioned
idea of the blessedness of poverty.”
Thus he spoke, and much more. 1
remember, too, a young vocalist who
sang “Forever With the Lord,” the
perfect lyric of Montgomery set to the
noble music of Gounod.
“Will you sing that at my funeral?”
said the profe.x-io”.
His funeral came sooner than we
thought. Ill health was part of what
bad changed the professor. Returning
from my summer outing I found that
he had been in bed for several weeks.
Coming into his room one day in the
earliest fall, he calmly announced, in
reply to my inquiries, that he was
dying.
“Is it not a perfect day. John,” he
said. “ Balmy' exactly describes it.
One could not suffer on this day
though he had lost his all. What does
Naturo say to you today?”
I replied that I did not know, that I
had been trying to express it to myself,
but could not.
“Nature’s god sayB to-day to every
suffering soul: ‘You have not lost all;
you are not utterly desolate. Behold,
to you, as to the year, there remains a
happy death, and that is the greatest
happiness.’ And more, it says more—"
He stopped. The professor always
knew what it is “not lawful to speak.”
This world would be an utter fuilure
if what I knew of this man here were
all that I should ever know.

SINGULAR FLORIDA TOWN
la
Rai t,300 People, »mi Vs Local «<l
• mIo a Navy Yard.
The existence of a singular town ii
brought to notice by the lntrodhctior
of Senator Mallory of Florida of a bill
to provide public schools, o.ie foi
white, the other for colored, children
in the town of Warrington, ?’fa. Th«
reference of the bill to the Secretarj
of the Navy for his opinion on its
merits is apparently unusual and un
necessary, but it is really highly prop
cr, as the facts about Warrington show
At the close of the Civil War th<
business of the nary yard at Pensa
coia was considerable, and the numbei
of employes was large. Many of th«
persons working in the yard “squatted’
upon the unoccupied land comprised
within the naval reservation, and ob
tained permission from the department
to build homes thereon. The numbei
of home builders Increased even aftei
the temporary activity of the navy
yard was succeeded by the lethargy
that came over the navy and lasted for
nearly twenty years. in time, the
group of houses assumed proportions
of a town; then it took a name, and
became Warrington. The Postoffiee De
partment recognized its rights, gave it
a postoffiee, which later it made a
money-order office, and now the town
has some 300 houses, six churches, sev
eral stores, and a population of more
than 1,300 persons.
The commander of the Pensacola
navy yard rules the town: the inhabi
tants pay no taxes, and have no votes.
The place is kept in order by the cap
tain of the ward, and “policed" as the
rest of the naval reservation Is. The
bureau of yards and docks installed
and maintained the electric lights and
tlie sewer system, though very few of
the inhabitants are employed by the
government. By far a greater part of
those who thus enjoy the nation's care
are engaged in fishing or in farming
for a living.
Now Senator Mallory thinks that in
addition to providing light, clean
streets and sanitation of the most im
proved type, the government should
al3o provide schools for the children
of the untaxed dwellers in Warrington,
and accordingly introduced his bill.
ABSINTHE AND ITS ORIGIN.
French riivnUlan S:ilcl to He the Invent
or of the Stuff.
Temperance people in Europe were
recently much surprised at the discov
ery that the deadly absinthe was or
iginally an extremely harmless med
ical remedy.
It was a French physician who first
used it. His name was Ordinaire, and
he was living as a refugee at Couvet.
in Switzerland, at the close of the
eighteenth century. Like many other
country doctors at that time, he was
a druggist and his favorite remedy was
a certain elixir of absinthe, of which
he alone had the secret.
At his death he bequeathed the form- ,
ula to his housekeeper, Mile. Grand- j
pierre, and she sold it to the daughters
of Lieutenant Henroid. They culti
vated in their little garden the herbs
necessary for concocting it. and after
they had distilled a certain quantity
of the liquid they sold it on commis
sion to itinerant peddlers, who quickly
disposed of it in the adjacent towns
and villages.
Finally, during the first decade of
the nineteenth century, a wealthy dis
tiller purchased the formula, and very
soon afterward he placed on the mar
ket the modern absinthe, which differs |
greatly from the old medical remedy,
since the latter contains no alcohol
and vpry little absinthe.
ICnglatid's Naval 1‘otver.
There is some skeptcism in certain
English circles regarding the fervent
praise of the British navy which Com
mander Richardson Clover, U. S. N.,
naval attache to the United States em
bassy, uttered in a recent interview in
Washington. Commander Clover was
quoted as saying that the British navy
is far more efficient than continental
powers believe. “This,” says the Hamp
shire Telegraph, “is a good thing to
publish to the world, but it is to he
hoped that the continental powers—
and particularly the more belligerent
among them- will take the statement
to heart. But the British public ought
to be sufficiently informed by now to
he proof against Capt. Clover's insidi
ous flattery. When he says that Eng
land to-day is stronger on the seas than
any two of the most powerful conti
nental powers, with another power in
cluded, he is merely soaring into
heights of imagination whither no
British naval expert can pretend to fol
low him."
Whittled Hi* I.eg.
Cal Barnes, living seven miles east
of Areola. 111., wears an artificial leg
and foot which he whittled out of wood
with his pocket knife, using no other
tool In its manufacture. The limb is
a model of neatness and fits so nicely
that few who do not know him well
would suspect that he was not walking
on his natural legs, so easily does he
move about.
Barnes lost his foot while in the
Klondike gold fields two years ago. He
and his brother. I)r. Omer Barnes of
Areola, were far out from their camp
when Cal met with an accident which
mashed his right foot so badly that
his brother decided it should be am
putated at once. Being miles away
from camp and friends they amputated
the foot without even administering
an opiate.

THE “DRUIDESS RING" RAGE,
I'trUliii LriIIm of Failtlon Tube lip
Another F«il.
Another new trinket is one to which
the extraordinary name of the '•Druid
ess ring” has been given. Mistletoe is
all the rage this Christmas in Paris.
The ring in question is accordingly
made of iwo leaves of the plant imi
tated in silver or pale gold. It should
be explained tnat the mistletoe and
Yuletide are not linked together by an
ancient association of ideas in the
Parisian mind. On the contrary, flor
ists and jewelers have "rediscovered"
this year the sacred “gul de chene” of
the old Cauls and Hiltons. Hence it
is not absurd to talk in Paris of mis
tletoe having become "fashionable.’*
One authority states that "in tho case
of engaged couples, the bunch of mis
tletoe presented to the girl by her
fiance should invariably he attached
with a white satin ribbon.” Perhaps
it ought to be further explained that
the connection between the ancient
plant, and kissing is another associa
tion of ideas unknown to the Parisian
mind, which, indeed, would be shocked
at the thought. The Druidess ring is
the jewelers' contribution to the pre
vailing mistletoe fashion. It is not a
mere ornament, but is supposed to be
useful. From the ring, which is large
enough to lie easily slipped over the
gloved finger, hang chains, to which
are attached pencil, mirror, powder
puff, etc., and the innumerable similar
trinkets which are so indispensable to
the modern woman.
UNCLE SAM BUILDS A TOWN.
Navy Department to ('onatrnet Home*
at Olnngapo Naval Station.
Uncle Sam is going to build a town.
It will be constructed at Olongapo, tho
site of the proposed naval station on
Subig Bay. Philippine Islands, says
the Washington Times.
Such action is believed to be neces
sary in order to provide labor for the
plant. Plans for the town are being
prepared by Rear Admiral M. T. En
dicott. chief of the bureau of yards and
docks.
Rear Admiral Endicott points out
that many shipbuilding corporations
have been compelled to build towns in
the vicinity of their plants. They rent
the houses at a nominal figure to their
employes. The latter elect their mayor
and other officers.
The plans of the department also
propose the construction of a railroad
which shall connect Manila and Olon
gapo.
Mixed History.
The Juvenile son of an army officer
made a strange mixture of the history
of George Washington the other day.
A visitor called during the absence of
his parents, and to entertain the chil
dren and instill a lesson of manly hon
or and patriotism told them the fa
mous stories of the liberty bell and the
cherry tree. The scion of the soldier
was much interested, but the details
got badly twisted in his head. When
his father returned home he was told
of the fine story the visitor had told
about the father of his country.
-Washington must have been a won
derful man," said the boy. "He
smashed the liberty hell with his little
hatchet and his father whipped him
with a cherry tree for telling a lie.”
It took paterfamilias some time to
straighten things out.
Remarkable Mieop.
A Kirkby Stephen correspondent
telegraphs: “On Dec. 9 last Mr. Wm.
Pratt, a well-known cattle dealer of
Garsdale, had a large flock of sheep
on Dent Fell, just above Hawes Junc
tion. The sheep were gathered in just
before the recent snowstorm, but one
sheep escaped the dogs and got back
on to the fells, where it was buried in
the snow on the following day. On
Tuesday last, twenty-two days after
ward, the shepherds found the sheep in
a crevasse. It had just thawed out of
the snow, but was able to walk home,
a distance of a mile and a half. The
same sheep was under the snow for ten
days in the November storm. Mr.
Pratt declares that he will never part
with that animal as long as it lives.”—
London Telegraph.
Many Brittsti Warship* Built.
More British warships have been
built this year than stand to the credit
of any previous twelve months. Six
battleships, ten armored cruisers, three
sloops, two gunboats, two “destroyers,"
four torpedo boats and five submarine
boats make up the record. Most of the
vessels were built on the Clyde, but, in
addition to new work, the five royal
dockyards extensively repaired and re
fitted twenty other warships and over
hauled both the reserve and channel
.quadrons. The dockyards were as
busy as they could be, but the re
sources of the great private yards were
far from overtaxed. All of them could
have done more, except, perhaps, the
armor-plate makers.
