The Navy Department continues to have
difficulty In finding able seamen enough to
man our ships Nearly all the recruits that
the law allows have been taken on, and yet
there are not enough men to go around. The
Lancaster Is In California ready to 90 to China,
but she is short OF her complement OF men by
at least eighty. The monitor Miantonomah is
at New York ready to 90 into commission,
but there ara no sailors to man her. 1t is
said at the Navy Department that there must
be pro rata scaling down Of the compliments
OF all OF our ships-at least until Congress
meets and enlarges the force. The white
squadron, now at Norfolk, will be the first to
feel the reduction, and it is understood that the

Atlanta sixty men each. '.'

Chief Constructor Wilson has just returned
to Washington from Norfolk and reports that
work is progressing rapidly at the Navy Yard.
The Atlanta will be taken out OF dock Tues
day. and the Boston will be docked i'm
mediately afterward. The Boston and the
Chicago were both painted with two kinds of
patent protective marine paint about six
months ago and there is some curiosity to
I learn the result Of the test. The work OF re-
pair on the Chicago will probably occupy
month. The present steam capstan cannot
be kept in order and will be replaced by a
modern steam windlass. New hose pipes are
also to be added and changes in steering gear
are to be made. The work on the battle-ship
Texas and cruiser No. is progressing salts
factorily, and even better progress could be
made with the latter but for the fact that
many of the steel deck plates have been found
to be defective.

ITALIAN GENEROSITY.
How the Roman Populace Aided the
Ischia Earthquake Sufferers.

How the Roman Populace Aided the
Ischia Earthquake Sufferers.
writer in the Corn1.iU Magazine, recall
ing the incidents of the terrible earthquake on
on the island of Ischia near Naples eight
years ago, vividly describes the scene in Rome
when the aims were collected for the sufferers
We have seen so much of late of the evil side
OF Italian character as to make this instance
of its generosity and quick sympathy the
pleasanter reading.
What an extraordinary scene was that, says
the article in question, in Rome on August 6,
eight days after the earthquake The day
was set apart for quest of aims for Casa
micciola. A spacious wagon was drawn up
and down the streets Of the city, heralded by
the wall of trumpet. The Municipal Guard
and citizens attended the car ON foot and
two ladies dressed in black sat upon the box.
The wagon was inscribed "Casamicciola,n
and the flag of Italy, bound with crepe, flut-
tered in front OF 1t. Such a procession was
well calculated to touch Italian sympathies.
The people sobbed in the streets.
But they also offered Casamicciola better
tribute than tears, The most various of arti-
cles showered into the car from the houses on
either side of the streets-a bundle of clothes
from one story, shirt from the window
above, money tied in handkerchief from the
third, and from the attic perchance pair of
earrings, removed by their owner from her
ears in haste ere the car should pass
In the poorer quarters of the city the pro-
cession aroused real enthusiasm of generosity.
A cobbler ran from his shop and threw into
the car the coat he had been wearing.
'sWhat will you do now ?'' asked his wife.
"You have no other"
"Mis cara, in this warm weather it's enough
If / have my shirt,' said he.
A cabman likewise stripped himself to his
shirt, and gave cloak, coat, waistcoat, and
even his watch and chain to the commissioners.
A woman united her apron, and reft her
baby of it's frock, that she might not be back
ward in giving. The shopkeepers offered
contributions in kind-packets of macaroni.
bottles of oil, sausages, and bread. Curious
also was the donation of the proprietress of a
wine-shop in the Via Monteroni. She gave an
iron bedstead, Qarge enough for two,) set up
for use, with mattresses, pillows, and blankets
completes; and with her neighbors's aid this
was duly hoisted into the car upon the other
things. 1t may be imagined that one wagon
did not suffice to exhaust such Roman charity
as this. A single district contributed four
wagon-loads of things. The coppers of the
poor were alone enough to fill four-and-twenty
sacks.

A piplomatist Downed bv a Kitten


We remember to have seen distin.
guished diplomatist, trained to hold his
own in the courts of kings, and never al
loss to get out of an embarrassing posi-
ton or to meet an act of rudeness by a
rapier thrust of wit, utterly put down
by small black kitten. The diplomatist
had been playing with the kitten. but he
went too far. Instead of making fun fol
the kitten he made fun of her. and this
she was quick to.see and to resent. De
termined to mark her sense of his con-
duct, she at once put a stop to the game
and calmly but resolutely placed her
small person in front of the man of cere-
mony, wrapped her tail neatly round
her toes, and gazed at him with an air of
pitying contempt.
1t was an electric moment. and the rest
of the company watched with palp1tat-
ing eagerness the struggle for ascend
ency. 1t proved, however, an unequal
contest. After few moments of regard
which told more of sorrOw than of anger,
the kitten deliberately began to wash her
little black face, stopping every now and
then, paw in hair, to give look of faint
surprise, mingled with disgust, at he1
antagonist. The situation speedily be
came ridiculous, but not for the kitten.
and in Il very short time the diplomatist
had evidently admitted himself beaten.
The kitten then rose, walked to the
window and placidly gaze@ out at the
landscape, every curve in her back show
ing her sense of the bad taste which had
characterized the incident that had just
terminated.-London Spectator.

found, on returning from supper, that 6
bottle of strychnine was ON the counter
and asked the reason why.
The clerk replied that he had Just beer
putting up prescription, and was hor,
rified when he found that he had made
use of strychnine instead of some less
harmful drug mentioned in the prescrip-
ton. The frightened young fellow did
not even know the name of the person
who had come for it, or for whom it was
intended, and after hours of search on
the part of the distracted druggist the
unfortunate victim was at last traced tc
his home, but too late, for the first dose

name of the patient both on the prescrip-
ton for the druggist and on the stub

and raising both hands exclaimed:

That was all very funny for the boys,
but the strange part came three weeks
later, when the one who had been

''subbed" around for couple of days
after that, but couldn't find work again.

Character at the Table.

arrived who made a great display OF
wealth, and of whom none could learn
anything. At the table d'hote one day,
helping himself toan olive with his fork,
it was decided he was only com
mon plebeian, for olives are handled only
with the fingers among civilized people
throughout Christendom. Table man
ners at many of our best hotels in our
principal cities invariably shock the
sensibilities of those accustomed TO the
graces of polite society. 1t is conceded

COlumbus' Rody.

Christopher Columbus died in obscurity
and poverty at Valadolid, Spain, May
90, 1906. By special favor of the monks
of st. Francis his body was, for time,
deposited in the vault of their church in
that city, but some years later, in pur-
suance of his own expressed wish, the
remains were translated to Hispaniola
and placed in crypt under the cathe-
dral of San Domingo. In 1929 the body
of Diego, the son of Columbus, was also
buried in the crypt, and some years
afterward that of Luis, the discogerer's s
grandson, was laid with the other two.
In 1895 the Spanish part of San Domingo
was ceded to the French, but before the
cession permission was given for the re-
moval of Columbus body to Havana.
A metallic case, supposed to contain
the body of the discoverer, was removed
and placed in the Cathedral of Havana.
and the matter rested until 1877, when a
metallic casket was found in the San
Domingo vault, which beyond all doubt
was that of Christopher Columbus. 1t
was inscribed both within and without
with his name and titles, and proved be
yond question that, through haste or
carelessness, the persons who effected
the removal in 1895 had carried away the
body of Diego, the son of Columbus
and that the remains of the great ad-
miral now rest beneath the Cathedral OF

knowledge is a means not an end.
Deeds are fruits, words are but leaves.
Better half an egg than an empty shell.
If the brain sows not corn, it plants
thistles.
He who sows brambles must not go
barefoot.
Profanity is the well known stamp of
viciousness.
To be angry about trifes is mean
and childish.
He who knows himself best esteems
himself least.
Vinegar helps digestion but sour
temper ruins it,
If every one would mend one all
would be amended.
He deserves not the sweet who will
not taste the sour.
The most certain sign of wisdom is
continual cheerfulness.
No man shall ever be poor who goes
to himself for what he wants.
Hope is a leaf JOY which may be beat

That action is best which procures the
greatest happiness for the greatest num-
bers.
Without'content, we shall find it al
most as difficult to please others as our
selves.

Gen. vallejo. Position in c.lifornia.

Gen. Valleio's Position In CAlifornis.
One has to go back 10 the days of the
famous Spanish marches or frontier
towus built and defended in Spain's he
roic age by her proudest knights, to find
fit parallel in history to the position
held by Gen. Vallejo during the closing
years of the Mexican rule in California
He had absolute sway for a hundred
miles OF more, and he kept the border +"
His men rode on horseback to Monterey
and to Capt Suffers fort on the Sacra-
u>anto, bringing him news and carrying
his letters. Spanish families colonized
the fertile valleys under his protection.
and Indians came and built in the shad-
ows of the Sonoma mission.
He owned, as he believed by unassail-
able title, the largest and finest ranch IN
the province, and he dispensed hos
pitality so generous and universal that
it was admired and extolled even among
the old Spanish families. ]. Quinn
Thornton, who visited the coast in 1S4S,
and published his experiences, says:
Governor General Vallejo owns 1,00O
horses that are broken to the saddle and
bride, and 5000 that are not broken.
Broken horses readily bring 800 apiece,
but the unbroken ones can be purchased
for trivial sum"
More and more in the closing years of
the epoch and the days of the conquest
Gen. Vallejo became the representative
man of his people, and so he has re-
ceived, among many of the old families,
the reproachful name of traitor to Cali
fornia and to his nation. The quiet in
tensity of this bitterness, even today, Is
a startling thing. l have seen men Of
pure blood, famous in provincial history.

Mrs. Stanley is unlike any one I know
she is quite herself. In the first place,
she is tall. much taller than American
women grow as a rule, but she carries
her inches well, and you would not sus-
pect her height unless you stood by her.
Her features are regular and are more
striking in profile than in full face, and
she has quantity of dry brown hair
that seems to be flying loosely about her
head, though it is held well together
with unseen pins. Her house gowns are
what we call aesthetic" for want of a
better word. They, at least those that
/ saw, are made of soft clinging stuffs,
and the collar, that lies fat about her
neck, is made of the same material.
She is a bright converSationist with
out trying to be, and a very enthusiastic
admirer of Mr.. Stanley. Nothing ap-
parently makes her happier than to be
doing something for him. She told me
with great glee the other day that he
found that she could answer some of his
letters as well as he could himself.
About her own work she is very modest,
and yet there is no artist in all England
who better depicts the life of children
than she does.-New York Letter.
