your conscientious convictions but while
you raise the cup to your lips, remember
that this draught represents the bread OF
some starving brother; for the food of at
least 6, 900, 900 persons is yearly grasped by
the malster and the distiller, and its nourlsh-
ment destroyed.
Remember that so long as you arc in health

thousands OF tetotalers have proved it,

AmNM1cAN ApMIRALs.


A correspondent of the New York Ecenin9
Post writes:
A visit to the Franklin, under command
of that salamander Gas he was called by the
Russian admiral) Admiral Farragut, was
cause of pride to every American, not only
from the fact that he was on board OF one oi
the best conditioned and most warlike ships
in the world, but that the services OF the
navy were at last acknowledged in having
the flag of Iull admiral flying for the first
time at the mainmast head-a rank won in
the smoke and carnage OF battle and victory.
Admiral Farragut is, believe, the only full
admiral afioat, and his blue flag, with its four
stars, the insignia OF his Office, has the highest
naval rank in the world, equal to that of the
lord high admiral Of England, when there
is one.
The first lord high admiral in commission
| W S James, Duke Of York, afterwards James
II, appointed by Charles II. The last was
William, the Duke OF Clarence, who resigned
in 1928. Since that time the office has been
conducted by a commission Lords OF
the Admiralty. The place can only be filled
by u prince of the blood. Prince Alfred,
the Duke OF Edinburgh, is now in training
for it, as the public sentiment OF England
now will not tolerate the appointment ol
greenhorns to high posts where the honor ol
the country is concerned, which OF old wat
too much practiced. There were in the
British navy three grades OF admirals-red
white and blue, and three Of each grade
i admiral, vice admiral and rear admiral; nov
there is but one grade OF color, that OF white
+ and three grades OF rank to that color. Th'
iiag is the white ensign with the rcd cross
the admiral wearing his at tho main, thu
vice admiral at the fore and the rear admira
at the mizzen; and none but officers oi tina
rank can hoist these flags.
The insignia of rank in our service Is:
First. The admiral, who wears squar
flag, blue, with four white stars, worn at III
main.
Second Vice-admiral, square flag, blue
with three white stars, worn at the fore.
THIRD. Rear-admiral, square flag, blue
with two white stars, worn at the mizzen.
Fourth. Commodore, broad pennant, blue
with one white star, worn at the main.
Prior TO the rebellion, the highest legt
rank IN our navy was that of post-captaiI
the title of commodore was one Of courtesy
The indifference or jealousy OF the countr
against the navy was SO great that no hight
rank could be obtained from Congress, a
though the navy won the first battle in IL
war of 1872 1t was only after the unpara
eled acts of the navy during the rebellio
that ranks assimilating to those OF foreig
nations could be created for the navy. In
conversation with a friend, one of the mo
earnest advocates of that branch OF the sc
vice during the rebellion, it was urged til
there should be new ranks legalized, and
named that of commodore. He thought
law could not be passed until they piled
more victories, of which they had alreaC
done their share. The naval officers add
to the pile, and Congress could no long
escape from the recognition Of their service
and hence the increase of rank.

BOYS USING ToBAcco-A strong aud SEN

large quantities of tobacco, is never known
