DAVID PULsIFER.
!, Benjamin Trefethen, of Boston, born on New
Castle Island, Portsmouth, n. H, Jan. is, 1870,
have resided in Boston since 1893, to the present
time
In the year 1872 1 shipped to serve on board the
frigate Chesapeake, then lying in Nantasket
Roads, in the harbor of Boston; went on board
Dec. 9. 1872 The Chesapeake was at that time
commanded by Samuel Evans. Shipped with five
others in Portsmouth by Lieut.. Budd, and came
Immediately to Boston. The last of May, 1913,
the frigate Shannon, commanded by Capt. Broke,
made her appearance of Boston harbor. On the
1st day of June the Chesapeake, commanded
by Capt. James Lawrence, who succeeded Capt.
Evans, got under weigh and proceeded down the
harbor under full sail to meet the Shannon,
at that time standing in. The Shannon very
soon tackled and stood of. When in the of1ins
near Marblehead, between and O'Clock p. m,
as near as can recollect, the action commenced.
The Chesapeake had the weather gage and en-
gagged the Shannon the guns on the larboard
side bearing upon the starboard side of the
Shannon We were SO near that l cannot say
gether. AS we passed the Shannon we fired two
broadsides. l belonged TO the third gun on the
spar deck, and while looking to see the effect of
the shot while firing, a cannon ball from the
Shannon passed over my head and took of the
head OF John White, our sailing master The en-
gagement lasted not more than three-QuarterS of
an hour The Shannon at the close Of the engage
ment was in q sinking condition, having three and
a half feet of water in her hold; and always be-
iieved that those who boarded the Chesapeake
jumped on board to save their lives afterwards
counted seven plugs in the starboard side of the
Shannon.
When we were sailing past the Boston lights to
meet the Shannon, while was taking dinner with
others between the guns, Capt. Lawrence came
along and. making stop, looked at US earnestly,
and said Bear hand, boys, and get your dinner;
you'll have blood for supper"

Advice to Musical Students.

The following advice to the musical student
IS given by Mr.. Ernst Pauer in his useful
work on The Art of Pianoforte Playing"
Consider technical exercises as the daily
physical exercise which is necessary to keep
you in health
Always come to your lesson with honest
good will, and with a sincere desire to advance
and to improve.
Do not get hold of the notion that your
teacher finds fault with you for the mere
sake of fault finding.
Always be assured that ultimate success
will ensue if you give yourself the trouble to
work for it. Success may be deferred, but it
will come at last.
Remember that a good composition is
worthy of good practice
Regularity, system and precision are not
only excellent general qualities, but may be
reckoned among the principal conditions that
insure a useful practice and guarantee assuc-
cessful performance.

E. A. Fen writes in The Alligan GIich.)
Journal: About the year 1900 there lived a
sort Of indolent, thriftless, unpromising
young man b. the name of Eli Terry. His
birth place was the same as mine, Plymouth
Conn. He sought the hand and heart of a
hiss Warner, and was bitterly opposed by
her friends on account Of his inability to sup
port her.
Eli had no visible means of support, but
spent his time sitting on stump or block
whiting out a circle he struck with an old
compass OF saving off bitsof wood from some
dead trees, and thus, day after day, his time
was spent, and the general opinion was he
was crazy. Want pressed SO hard in the
home that the wife, by urgent entreaty of
her friends, had about made up her mind to
return to her parents home, when the
fruits of Els whiting and saving
materialized in the first wooden clock
ever made in America, and, l be-
lievs. in any country. 1t was readily sold
to a neighbor for $50 and paid for in pork,
-four, potatoes, other family necessities and a
little money, with which he bought tools to
facilitate his work in further prosecution of
clock making Another and another was
made that sold readily as soon as completed.
The foot lathe and small circular saws were
added, then men were employed, clocks more
rapidly made and eagerly sought after, and
Eli Terry began to accumulate. In the mean
time he had made application for letters
patent upon his clock, and about 1902 or 1903
built small shop and commenced improving
on his clock and construction Of machinery
and tools, and the foundation for vast for
tune was made, which materialized in after
years. Notwithstanding his unbounded be-
nevolsnce, he became very rich. He died
about 1916, at the advanced age of S. years.

The years 400, 500, 1900, as well as the in
tervening centurial years, were leap years;
it was Pope Gregory XIII, who, in 1882, re-
formed the calendar so that only the centu-
rial years, divisible without a remainder. by
four, should be leap years. A. D. 1000 was,
and 2OOO will be, leap year. The months
had respectively, these number Of days: 81,
30, 81, 80 81, 80, 81. 90, 80, so, 80, 81, making
a total of 365 days in the year. Augustus
changed the name of Sextiles in his own
honor the Roman year began originally with
march, and added TO it one day, which he
took from February; another of February's
days he gave to October.

Union Jacks.

The question has been asked have the
United States and Great Britain ensigns
called union jacksl
The United States has not; Great Britain
has union jack The union jack bears on a
blue ground the red cross of st. George for
England, the white diagonal cross Of ST. An
drew for Scotland, and the red diagonal cross
of st. Patrick for Ireland. The original union
jack was adopted in 1906, three years after
James VI, of Scotland, became king of Eng
land, and consisted of the crosses Of st. George
and st. Andrew. The name jack is said to
be a corruption of the word Jacobus, Jaques,
or James. The flag was adopted 101 years
before the two kingdoms were united; during
that time they were separate kingdoms, with,
as it happened, one ruler. In 1901, when Ire
land was taken into the union" the cross of
st. Patrick was added Our jack bears thirty
eight or forty-two stars, typical Of our states,
and may properly be called a union jack,
only it isn't so called; and any union jack"
casually mentioned must be understood to
mean British ensign.

How to Be Happy.

Are you almost disguised
With life, little man?
I will tell you a wonderful trick
That will bring you contentment
If anything can
Do something for somebody, quick!
Are you awfully tired
With play, little girl?
Weary, discouraged and sick?
I'll tell you the loveliest
Game in the world
Do something for somebody, quick!
Though it rains like the rain
Of the flood, little man,
And the clouds are forbidding and thick,
You can make the sun shine
In your soul, little man
Do something for somebody, quick!
Though the skies are like brass
Overhead, little girl,
And the walks like a well heated brick;
And are earthly affairs
In terrible whirl?
Do Dmeshing for somebody, quick!

Murray Hill.

Murray Hill, which is located in upper New
York city, and on which is situated many Of
the dwellings of wealthy people, derived its
name from John Murray, who owned an
estate on the hill from Thirty-seventh to
Thirty-fourth street. His property ran about
southwest, from the old Middle ROAD almost
to the "Bloomingdale road" The former is
no longer in existence; the latter is now
Broadway. The old Murray house was tern
down not long ago.

Doctor A. L. Smith, of Canada, reports the
use Of electricity in causing the disappearance
of a large seed" wart on the index finger, OF
three years growth upon which nitrate OF
silver, nitrate of mercury, and various acids
had no effect of curative nature. He passed
a steel needle, attached TO the negative pole
Of the galvanic battery, well into the sub
stance Of the wart, on three different occa-
sions, at intervals of three or four days, with
the result that in three weeks time the wart
was entirely gone, leaving so little mark that
its site was scarcely discernible.

&" Cocktail"

The following has been given as the origin
of the word cocktail: In note to Coopers
Spy" as we recollect, it is said that buxom
widow who kept tavern at an unnamed
Westchester town used to provide ''bracers"
for the young French officers that would
make them feel as eight as cocks tail. 5"
In time the compound which produced the
effect received the name of cocktail" The
date of this important occurrence isn't given.

DeDOt.

Depot is French word but it does not
speak for itself" As used by the French it
has great. variety of meanings, but no one of
them has anything whatever to do with rail-
roads; SO that the American use of the word
in this connection is purely arbitrary one,
based on nothing much like that of ''par-
quet" or ''parquette," as applied to theatres.
On the other hand, the word station" is
used Unfortunately in this country, as well
as in Great Britain, and even occasionally on
the continent, to signify either terminus
or way station" and is correct term for
either. Usage, however, makes depot" cor,
rect in America.
