QUEER OLD NATURE. "Why ie It," asked a wondering child (Sweet, simple little thing), ; "That the foolish tree puta on its clothes ) When tbe ann ahlnea in the spring, And then, when chilly autumn comes And the winds of winter blow. Why does it stand ont there, all bare. J In the frost and aleet and snow t" S "Wise nature has arranged It thus," I told the little one, f The rustling leaves can only live V Beneath a amiling sun ; The tree that in the summer time Makes shady bowers for you If ust have its rest, therefore it stands Asleep the winter through." Bhe sat in silence for awhile And gased far into space. And linea of thought and trouble earn To mar her childish face. And so, at last, she turned and said: "I'm sorry for the tree. And glad that nature wasn't left To fix thimfs up for mel" S. E. Kiner in Cleveland Leader. THE AMERICAN SAILOR. Tacky Has Become m Speclallat and a Credit to the Navy. Jacky, who used to be more sailor than gnnner, is now more gunner than sailor. Jast in proportion as be has oeased to be a part of tbe great engine on which be lives, so be baa come moie and more into the control of it, and as the cardinal purpose of a warship is to bit things with her projectiles Jacky has become a specialist in getting that work oat of her. He does it in two places at the guns and at the engines. Correctly pointed guns are of no use unless the platform on which they rest is put in proper relation to the thing to be bit and kept there. Equally it is use less to get the ship into proper place unless the guns are correctly pointed. Men who can do either of these things must have natural capacities and be sns oeptible to education, and only men of this sort are eligible for our navy. Accordingly the "beach comber, " or the "rock scorpion, " or any other va riety of that ruck of marine refuse which drifts around tbe great maritime porta and ships in any craft where "grub" is plenty and work light, no longer slings bis hammock on Uncle Sam's berth deck, as he used to do, to the shame of the service, in years gone by. Nor can tbe tramp nor the jailbird nor even tbe incorrigible black sheep of the family thus be provided for, to the relief of constables and long suffering relatives. No man or boy can now pass a United States naval recruiting officer unless he is clean, healthy, honest, young, strong and intelligent, nor can he afterward get that advancement, which is certainly open to him without fear or favor, jinlesa he continues to show aptitude and ability. Park Ben jamin in Independent. ARMY AND NAVY GUNS. A Vast Difference In the Number of Men Required to Handle Them. The number of men required to man naval guns of the British, French, Ger man and American navies is about the same, although the French are under stood to have more men as a rule for some of the larger guns. For the 4 inch and 5 inch all services require four men to work each piece ; for the 6 inch, six men are needed, and for the 10, 12 and 13 inch the same number. As nearly all our 8, 10, 12 and 19 inch guns are used in pairs and mount ed in turrets the 12 men working them are protected by heavy plates of steel. For the little 1 pounders three men are necessary to work them rapidly, and for the 8 pounders and 6 pounders four men are assigned, and for the Hotcbkiss three men. Treble the number of men seem to be required to work the same caliber of guns in our coast defense system, al though there is no special reason for this, unless it be due to the fact that the army guns are mounted on disap pearing carriages and are not provided with turrets, which naturally limits the space of the operators. An army 8 inch gun takes 15 men to work it; a 10 inch gun requires 18 men, and a 12 inch gun, the largest now constructed by the army, calls for 21 men. It will be seen, therefore, that a 13 inch naval gun is operated by six men, while an army gun of one inch less cali ber calls for 2 1 men. The navy gun can be fired just as rapidly with its six men as the army gun can be fired with its larger number. -Boston Herald.

Tbe stairs had gone up in smoke before everybody bad left tbe building, and even the fire escape down the outside of the building was cut off by the hot flames from the lower windows, which bad already peeled off a part of it. A young girl of 14 or 15 was frantically shrieking for help in one of tbe top windows, and a mother was wringing her bands in piti ful despair down in tbe street. -Tbe chief called for volunteers to save the girl, and three men came for ward on the instant, without hesitation and without awaiting to count their chances tor aucceEg. This is tbe custom in" such cases, for no one would take the rpoiisibility' of ordering a fireman to hjfi possible death. A strong young fellow who bad yet to win his spurs was selected for tbe task.4 and he disappeared quickly through the doorway of the adjoining building. When next the crowd saw him he appeared at tbe window just under the roof, and, grasping the tin tJrruice of tbe burning building next to him, he swung out into the air and made his way, hand over hand, for 80 feet through the dense smoke that rose in black clouds from tbe lower windows to the sill where the girl was eeen. f She had fallen back into the room unconscious and was overcome with smoke by the time he reached her. A thousand anxious faces in the street be low were tortured with fear for the hero, a hundred muttered prayers went up for his safety as tbe fireman disap peared into tbe black cloud, and a thou sand throats sent up a luBty shout of re lief as he appeared again at the window a moment later with the limp form of the girl in his arms. Harper's Round Table. bpanlsh Cruelty. The cruelty of the Spaniard, or rather bis callousness, bis recklessness of the lives of others, and even of his own, is a mediaeval and oriental survival, says Irving Babbitt in Tbe Atlantic, and then, too, there underlies the Spanish temperament I know not what vein of primitive Iberian savagery. Mme. dJAulnoy relates that on a certain day of the year it was customary for court gallants to run along one of the main streets of Madrid, lashing furiously their bare shoulders, and when one of tMese penitents passed the lady of his choice among the spectators be bespat tered her with his blood as a special mark of his favor. Insensibility to the suffering of ani mals, though general in Spain, is not any greater so far as my own observa tion goes, than in the other Latin coun tries. Possibly mediaeval religion in so exalting man above other creatures, in refusing to recognize bis relation to the Kft-t-ofvnature, tended to -increase this lack of sympathy with brute creation. The Spanish peasant belabors his ass for the same reasons that Malebranche kick ed his dog because he has not learned to see in it a being organized to feel pain in the same way as himself. Slow Eating May Be Bad. According to The Journal of Mental and Nervous Diseases, slow eating is as bad as fast eating. "The important point is not that we eat slowly or fast, but that when vse do eat we chew with energy. Of course where the haste is due to some mental anxiety this may injuriously inhibit the secretions. Slow eating begets a habit of simply mum bling tbe food without really masticat ing it, while the hurried eater is in clined to swallow his food before proper mastication Hence hurried eating is bad, but rapid mastication is advan tageous. It concentrates our energies on the act in question, and hence more thoroughly accomplishes it. Moreover, energetic chewing stimulates the secre tion Of saliva in the most favorable manner. Tbeee various points are so commonly misauderstood, at least by the laity, that tbey demand our fre- oucnt attention. " Caught In His Own Trap. It is always pleasant to read of in stances in which would be practical jokers have had a chance to sample their own wares. In "Life In California," Alfred Robinson tells of a Senor Lugo, who often amused tbe travelers by his stories and eccentricities, and one even ing attempted a practical joke, with the following result: He bad loaded a paper cigar with gunpowder and placed it among his cigarros. During bis visit with me be repeatedly asked me to smoke, but 1 fortunately missed the cigar he had pre pared, until finally, 'from the lateness of the hour, be withdrew. In the course of the night he awoke, and feeling a desire to smoke selected from his bundle, quite forgetful of the evening's amusement, tbe very cigar he bad prepared for me. Having lighted it, he returned to bed. The cigar was about half consumed and be more than half asleep when a sudden explosion carried away the bet ter part of bis mustache, and so thor oughly frightened bis poor wife tbat I venture to say the event will never be forgotten.

Williams' Co., Glastonbury, Ct., Makers of Williams' Famous Shaving Soaps, the best guarantee of superiority. Washington letter. Washington Oct. 81 , 1398. No surprise was felt in Washington at the semi-official announcement that the U. S. would demand all of the Philippine Islands. It has been felt from the first tbat such would be the ultimate result. Polities has had little or nothing to do with tbe decision of the administration to adopt this policy; It is public opinion, regardless of politics, tbat has brought it about. When President McKlnley start ed upon that western trip neither be nor any member of his cabinet had made up their minds that we should take the Philip. pines, and at least one of them Secretary Gage was opposed to our taking any of the islands ; but when they returned to Washington they had all about made up their minds that public opinion was so strongly In favor of American ownership of the entire Philippine group, as the only logical crowning of Dewey's great victory in Manila bay, that no other policy would do. What they heard later, at Philadel phia, clinched that opinion, and our peace commissioners at Paris were accordingly Instructed to make that demand. So much for the adoption of the policy. While it Is certain that the policy of American ownership of the Philippines will be popular, it remains to be ascer tained whether the method of obtaining that ownership will meet with such gen eral approval. It must be understood to start with that no official announcement has been made concerning that method, but that enough has been said by those who ought to know to cause It to be be lieved that the consent of Spain will be obtained either by a direct payment of money to Spain, or by the assumption of about $40,000,000 of Spanish bonds, is sued for improvements In the Philippines. At first glance, there will naturally be op position to the U. S. paying $40,000,000 or any other sum for undisputed posses sion of territory which had already been cocquered hy force of arms. But many will doubtless accept the argument tbat the Philippone bonds, which were not, as were the Cuban bonds, issued to make war against tbe natives of the Islands, but for the purposes of public improve ment, should be considered a lien on the island, regardless of ownership, and that it would be an Injustice, discreditable to a great country like the U. S., to take the Islands from Spain and leave that country to pay Indebtedness Incurred for public Improvements on them. The question Is likely to be much discussed as soon as It becomes absolutely certain upon what terms we are to acquire the Philippines. At the headquarters of the republican and democratic congressional committers In Washington the claims are about equal aisr to which patty will elect a majority of the house, but the opinion outside Is that the republicans will retain control of the house by a reduced majority. Some dem ocrats say that they would prefer that the house should remain republican, because if their party carried it they would have to share in the responsibility of the ad ministration in inaugurating the experi ment of a colonial policy, or take the re sponsibility of hampering that policy, and that they would prefer doing neither dur ing the next two years. If that senti ment exists to any extent -among the voters of the party, there is no doubt of the result of the election. Among the noted officers now in Wash ington are Gens. Miles, Wheeler, Lee and Lawton of the army, and Capt, Iiobley D. Evans and Lieut. Hobson of the navy. The latter officer is here to report to a board of the chiefs of bureaus of the navy department on his work upon the wrecked Spanish ships. This board will decide whether the work shall be continued. Hobeon's confidence in success In raising the ships is not shared by all of the naval officials. But if public sentiment Is con sulted, they will not stop Hobson's work, on account of its cost, if there is any cer tainty of his succeeding In saving the ships. Those ships would, In the eyes of most people, be worth more than new ones would cost, as object lessons in the patriotism, bravery and marksmanship of the American sailors, and if they can be saved, neither cost nor jealousy of Hob- son should be allowed to stand in the way, A rather curious request has been made of the navy department by the Acme wrecking company of San Francisco. This company wants to raise the battle ship Maine and bring her to the TJ. S., claiming to have a method by which the work can be accomplished, and asks nothing more of the government than permission to do the work at its own ex. pense. The company states in its re quest that if the government wishes the ship after it has been safely brought to some TJ. S. harbor, that it will not ask more than the usual salvage payment, through condemnation proceedings. It is not supposed that the government would care to buy the wreck. In fact, the real object of the company is to raise the Maine in order that the may be ex- hibited In this country, although nothing of the kind Is said In its letter to the navy department. According to the request of the company, it intends to blow tbe mud from under the wreck with streams of watei under high pressure, and then to pass chilns under and attach them to a f ram 'work ou each side connected with a system of steel air-tight barrels. The gradual winding up of these chains is counted upon to raise the wreck. both Well Pouted. There is a story current in Washing ton of a charming girl whose partner said to her as in waltzing they just missed a statue of the Venus of Milo: "We mustn't dance too near that oi somebody will accuse us of breaking it.

Bone and cartilage enter so largely into the structure of the nose and de termine its characteristics that it un dergoes little perceptible change, as a rule, with the lapse of years. The brow becomes wrinkled, and crows' feet gather round the eyes, which them selves gradually grow dim as time rolls on. Cheeks lose the bloom which cos metics cannot replace and lips their fullness and color. The chin, dimpled in youth, develops angularities or globularities, as the case may be, and the eyebrows become heavy with the crop of many years' growth. The nose shows no mark com parable to these familiar facial indica tions of the approach of old age and practically enjoys immunity from the ravages which time makes on the other features of the face. Next to the nose, probably the ears, as a rule, show the fewest and least obvious signs of old ase. Volcanic Eruptions are grand, but Skin Eruptions rob life of joy.
