An Ensign's Debut.

This seasons crop of Annapolis gradu-
ates has been neatly distributed about the
navy, and several of the luckiest young
sters have settled in the Brooklyn navy
yard.
One of them was assigned to the Phila-
delphia, and one fine morning he was put
on duty as officer of the deck for one of the
morning watches. 1t was his first "active
duty" and his chest expanded full inch
as he buckled on his sword and marched
to the quarter deck. This was at 10 o'clock,
and his watch was till noon. In this trick
there is but one order to be given. That
comes at seven bells (half-past II o'clock);
and to this effect: "Bosun's mate. Pipe
sweepers."
The youngster had "boned" up on his
duties carefully, and struck a superb atti-
tude on the bridge as the seven strokes be-
gan, clearing his throat to give the regula-
tion nautical ring to his order. And to
make him especially careful, he knew, al
though he could not see them, that half
the ships company were hidden away some
where intently watching his debut.
So as the seventh bell rang out on the
sultry air he sang out, in voice to be heard
half way across the basin, "Bo-o-o-sun's
mattel"
"Aye, aye, STRIP responded that function
ary, stumbling aft with his whistle in his
| fingers.
"Swipe peepers."
The boatswain's mate endeavored to
pucker for whistle, but his lips divided
in grin that made blowing impossible
while shout of laughter came from all
along the deck.
"No, no." stammered the unfortunate
ensign, II mean Peep swipers.'"
The boatswain's mate nearly fell into a
fit at this, and the screams of laughter
from the onlookers well nigh started the
cruiser from her moorings. The youngster
lost his head completely at this second dis
aster, and 1t took seven men to keep him
from jumping into the East river.
The whistle was finally sounded and the
sweeping trick was done, but the youth
had his meals brought to him in his berth
all that day, and spent his months pay
the following twenty-four hours in buying
the silence of his comrades.-Ne York

Jewel. Of I.omnITw women.


The ladies Of Rome early imbibed love
for art and artistic decoration Of their per-
sons While in early times their dress was
severely simple, they Kept pace with the
tastes OF the men, and many ladies Of rank
We'd with the cardinals in their patronage
of the goldsTui;hs. Ce,llni numbered sew
eral among his frie.ds, and at various
times keenly felt the consequences of their
displeasure or caprice. or course the pat
ronage OF women was not directly con-
nected with the 'sifairs OF the church, for
In its councils women were unknown. The
popes and priests never married, else art
might have been more widely applied than
it was.
Women often, however, called the gold
smiths talents into their service for the
creation of splendid gifts in the name Of
their religion. 4 few of them furnished
means for the creation of altar furniture
of the most elaborate and expensive char
acter, which they presented to the sanctu-
aries in which they worshiped.
But there was another class of Roman
women. There were beauties in Rome as
well as in other countries, and they were
notsless fond of personal adornment and
adulation. Like their sisters OF today,
they were not averse to the admiration of
the opposite sex, and they enhanced their
natural charms by all the arts then known.
At the time of which Shakespeare las
made so much of his plays, Jewels were
worn in greater or less profusion hy the
beauties of Rome.-Jewelers' Weekly.

A "Oueer" Preacher.

Rev. Mr.. Hagamore, to whose memory
a slab has been placed in the church at
Catshoge, Leicestershire, England, was
80 little queer" 1t seems that the rev.
erend gentleman died in January, 1885,
leaving all of his property, valued at
$500, to q railroad porter.
This queer old preacher kept one serv-
ant of each sex, whom he locked up
every night. His last employment of an
evening was to go the rounds of his
premises, let loose the dogs and fire off
his gun. He lost his life in a curious
manner. Starting out to let out his
servants the dogs fawned upon him and
threw him into a pond of water. The
servants heard his cries, but being
locked up could not render assistance,
so the old man was drowned.
When the inventory of his property
was taken he was found to be the owner
of so gowns, 100 pairs of trousers, 100
pairs of boots, 400 pairs Of shoes, SO
wigs (although he had plenty of natu-
raj hairy, 90 dogs, SO wagons and carts,
80 wheelbarrows, 249 razors, so plows.
80 saddles and S22 pickaxes and shovels.
He surely was "a little queer. st.

What stonped the IYatches2

There is family in a certain Long Island
suburb who are endeavoring to preserve
calm philosophy over rather startling oc-
currence. Friday night-the night of the
sudden gale-the gentleman was aroused
from slumber by the persistent barking of
his dog. He got up and reconnoitered
from his window, saw nothing and heard
nothing suspicious, and telling his dog to
be quiet returned to bed and to sleep.
Before he slept, however, he replied to
his wife's question as to the time of night
with the remark that it was probably
about 1870, as the street lamps were very
low. The village, it may be explained, is
lighted with lamps whose wick and oil are
graduated to burn certain time, and then
go out without the expense of a human ex-
tinguisher, a fact so well understood that
person of any continued residence can
gauge the hour with considerable accuracy
from the condition of the lights.
On arising the next morning the hus-
band was surprised to find his watch was
not going-it had stopped at precisely
twenty-siX minutes after one. He owns
two watches, silver and gold one, and
he at once went to the gold one for the
time. That had stopped, too, at precisely
twenty-eight minutes past l. And then,
with an odd sensation, the man recalled
that the night before, in winding the two
watches, he had noticed that the gold one
was two minutes faster than the silver
one. He decided he would not tell his
wife about this remarkable performance Of
his timepieces and continued his dressing
She had preceded him below stairs, but be-
fore he was ready to leave his room she
called to him. He went to the baluster to
hear her.
"What time is it, please; the dining
room clock has stopped?" she asked.
cat what hour?" he almost gasped.
"Twenty-six inmates after / o'clock" +"
was the reply, which sent an uncanny chill
over him.
That is all there is to it, however. Weeks
have gone by and that Long Island COM
muter has not even missed his train; but
will some society of psychology please ex-
plain, if it can, what set dog to barking
and stopped three well regulated and here
tofore continuous timepieces at precisely
the same moment? for this story is alb
solutely accurate in every detail.-Her

Electricity in Europe,

Instead Of leading the van, we are
from ten to fifteen years behind Europe.
Even in our own field of electrical meth
DDS, as prominent American electrician
assured me in Paris, we are now five
years behind the continent. He declared
that the difficulties our American cor
porations still complain about, when
asked to bury their telegraph, telephone
and lighting wires, were all met and
vanquishad in Europe several years ago,
and that our fellow countrymen insist
upon remaining in state of invincible
ignorance rathar than learn anything
from the technical and scientific achieve
ments of Europe.
But perhaps he stated the case too
strongly. Doubtless we shall in time
learn to be ashamed when we come to a
realizing sense of the fact that the one
city of Paris has at its command larger
and more brilliant array of engineering
and architectural talent than all the i'm
portant cities Of the United States taken
together can show, and that many a
small European town is better supplied
in this respect than many a large Amer
ican city.-Dr. Albert Shaw in Century.

Esculapius and His Profession.

.Esculapius, whom Homer calls "the
blameless physician" was the famous
pupil of Chiron. The glory Of Escu-
lapius' name is not dimmed as it has
come down to us through the ages.
While his treatment of the sick was
heroic, as. was natural in an heroic age,
he did not ignore the virtue of metaphys-
ical treatment. To those who suffered
from violent passions he recommended
the perusal of works Of poetry, the study
of hymns and songs an6 an attendance
on light comedy.
It has often been said Of physicians
that they have two kinds of medicine
one with which to cure the patient, the
other to be used when it is desirable that
the cure shall not be effected too quick
ly. Esculapius had two kinds, which
he received from Pallas Athene, the
goddess of wisdom. Both were taken
from the veins of Medusa. That taken
from her left side operated to the de-
struction of men. That from the right
side brought them health and strength.
Esculapius' medicine even had the
power of bringing the dead to life-a
fact which so incensed the gods that
Esculapius was Immediately put to
death by a thunderbolt The sceptic
Montaigne, referring to this injustice,
sarcastically expresses his surprise that
the patron of the doctors should be sent
to Tartary for restoring men to life, when
so many of his disciples are pardoned for
performing the opposite feat.-Chicago

A German Baby's Adventure.

for the christening of new baby, the
baby being swaddled and wrapped in
the usual manner. The way was long
to the church and the weather was cold;

gayly, and their hearts being merry
within them they essayed snatch or

interesting christened bundle was laid

vive the pillow, and the snow, and the
oven m3st have been sturdy indeed
