NEVER MENTIONS NAMES.

Leaves her breakfast dishes standin' in the
middle of the floor.
Hurries off to do an erraud at the little country
store,
Makes about Il dozen calls on as many patient
danes,
Lets flood of gossip loose, butnever mentions
names.
Knows what couples settn' up most every
Sunday night
House just across the way from her'n, and
blecgCd to see the light;
Tells where the dress is being made to honor
Cupid's claims,
nd when the weddin's coming off, but never
mentions names.
Heard just now, certain deacon not thou
sand miles away
Right on hand to every service and the fust to
speak and pray
Recently was catcheG at cheatin', and al yar-
GUS other games,
For her part she doesn't wonder, but she never
mentions names.
Been most unwilling witness to a dreadful
family row
Woman wouldn't give an inch, and husband
wouldn't bow
Peace and comfort all gone up in Gngcr's risin
flames
Lookin' for u separation, but she never men
lions names.
Such a one is mean and stingy, and another
puts on style;
Half the folks are proud and naughty, and the
rest low down and vile.
Nothin' IL creation suits her, so she frets and
SColdS and Dlames,
Mighty SLY and under,handed for she never
mentions names.
You and have seen this person, and have
listened to her tongue
Going like barrel of water that is running at
the bung;
And We know just where 10 place her, with her
petty grovelling aims,
But Wen follow her example, and refuse to
mention names.

vessel and the shore. For signaling
in this way the Morse code is used,
short flashes representing the dots and
long flashes the dashes. BY displaying
and shutting off the beam directed
against the clouds using the Morse code
of signals, communication has been
maintained between two vessels at sea
separated by IL distance of sixty miles.
The following incident is an illustra-
tion of what may result from the mis-
guided use of projectors in naval
maneuvers. The torpedo boat Edmond
Fontaine, one hundred and twenty-five
feet long, and having on board II crew
of twenty officers and men, was engaged
in an attack on the harbor of Cher
bourg during the French naval maneu-
vers last summer. In the heat of the
battle the FOntaine, which belonged to
the attacking fleet, attempted to pass in
front Of the Surcouf, one of the ships
defending the harbor. The Surcouf
rammcd the Fontaine.
The cause of the collision was that
the protector of one of the other ships
of the defending feet was kept steadily
directed on the torpedo boat. The COM
mander and quartermaster of the Fon-
taine were blinded by the dazzling rays
and could not distinguish the surround
ing vessels nor judge distances correct
ly. Believing himself to be farther
away from the approaching ship than
he really was, the commander of the
Fontaine kept on his course, running
straight across her bows, and his boat
was rammed almostdead amidships. -

A person who has not done anything
to distinguish himself is generally not
allowed queer habits. Eccentricity is
not for common people. But for Wash
ingtOn Allston, one of Americas most
noted painters, all thingS were right.
His excessive sensitiveness was shown
in many ways. When india rubber
overshoes began to be worn, he was in
duced to purchase a pair for his health's
sake, but he could never put them on
Or remove them except with pair of
tDngs. But that same delicate sensi-
tiveness showed itself in another way.
His scrupulo1s conscience was illus
tratcd by an incident occurring in 1916,
when he was in urgent need of money.
He had just found a purchaser for one
Of his pictures, but thinking the matter
over alone in the evening, he concluded
that the subject of the painting was
such that at some time it might have
an immoral effect on some perverted
imagination. He Immediately went to
his patrons house, paid back the money,
took the picture home and burnt it.
This was Sensitivencss worth having
