Warlike Yankees.

The recent war talk has revived
some stories of the prowess on the sea
of old-time down East Yankees. It is
related that Captain John Dix, a famous
shipmaster of Portland, was in West
Indian port once where British man.
of-war was blazing away at target.
The British gunners were unable to
come anywhere near the target, and
after watching their blundering for
some time Captain Dix loaded an old
ships gun which he carried, using a
chunk of iron for a shot. He fired, and
when the smoke cleared away the tar
get was wreck. Immediately a boat
from the man-of-war came alongside,
and an officer in full uniform came
oyer the rail, demanding an explana-
ton of the Yankees performance.
Captain Dix assured the officer that no
disrespect was intended-that he only
wanted to give the Britishers lesson
in gunnery, and he offered to furnish
another hogshead for them to practice
on. After scolding a little the officer
burst into laugh at the absurdity of
the situation, and went back to his
ship. The captain of a Yankee priva-
teer, sailing from a Maine port in
1912, mistook an English seventy-four
for an East Indiaman, ran alongside
and ordered her to strike her colors.
The seventy-four's ports flew open,
her broadside was run out, and the
Captain replied: Il am not in the
habit of hauling down my colors.
'Wen, if you won't, WILL" answered
the Yankee, who lost his vessel but not
his head.

WHY BOYS LIKE A NOISE.
1t Is a Healthy Symptom and Grown Peo-
pie Oughtn't to Mind 1t.

II wonder why it is that boys do SO
enjoy making a nosei" exclaimed Mrs.
Boggs, holding her ears with both
lings paraded through the house with
a drum and tin horn which wicked
uncle had given them.
"My DEAR" replied DR.. Boggs, look
ing up from his newspaper, "you must
understand that boy does not really
make noise because he likes to SO
much as for the reason that he cannot
help it. The cause is simply that
there is greater supply of excitation
to his nervous system that he can get
rid of in the ordinary way which
grown people adopt. believe that
express myself clearly?"
mot very, it seems to me-" said
Mrs. Boggs.
"Then will put it more plainly" re-
sponded the doctor. "You are per-
haps acquainted with the fact that the,
human body is made up of cellsp"
q have heard you say so, my dear"
"Wen, then, you must comprehend
that each of these cells has a nucleus,
just as an egg has yolk in it. The
nuclei of the cells which make up
child's body are much larger than
those of the cells which compose your
physical system or mine. As the in
FAINT gets older these cells become
steadily smaller and smaller, but dur
ing youth the nerve battery thus made
up is so much more powerful as to
store up an excessive amount of energy.
The boy keeps it in for while and
then he must explode. That is exact
ly what is taking place with Bobby
and Jimmy at present. They are get
ting rid of their superfuous nerve
force through the medium of drum
and a tin horn. It is thoroughly
healthy and you ought not to object.
"If that is really the case" said
Mrs. Boggs with sigh, Il am more
resigned"
"As I was about to say" continued
the doctor, "the nuclei keep on dimin-
ishing in size as one grows older until
the grown person finds excessive ex-
citation disagreeable and is annoyed
by noises. l believe that you were
forty on your last birthday, my dear?
The reason that the boy keeps on
growing is that while the nuclei of his
cells are diminishing the cells them
selves are multiplying in number.
After one gets old and a certain time
| of life has been reached the cells no
longer multiply fast enough to supply
the places of those which die. Then
arrives a period of what we call de-
crepitude, and eventually the individ-
ual, if no disease superVencs, perishes
of mere debility"
THAT may all be true" admitted
Mrs. Boggs, "but my observation is
that this business of knowing all about
how one is constructed and how soon
one must wear out in the course of
nature does not conduce to happiness.
I would much rather remain in igno-
rance of what you call physiology and
not be obliged to think of myself and
my children and our inside works as if
we were so many machines"
Science seems to have no attrac-
tions for women, muttered the doctor,
who became absorbed in his newspa-
per again Washington Star.

"cREEN GOODS"
Making Government Currency In Public
and Selling 1t at a Discount.

There was hurried call for secret
service agents on New street yester-
day, saws the n. Y. Press, to catch
some green-goods men who were open
inc and attempting to dispose of green
goods and machines for printing United
States treasury notes at the rear of the
New York stock exchange to crowd
of brokers who were unwilling to buy,
although there was much wider margin
for profit than is generally offered IN
wheat or stocks Brand-new, crisp 81
bills were offered at 25 cents apiece,
with no takers. Uncle Sans rs went
begging at so cents, while the avs,
offered at the small sum of 81, were
carried away by a man who offered to
disposed of them. The man who ex-
posed the money for sale was apparent
" about 80 years of age, dressed in
rather loud suit of brown check, hand
some double-breasted blue overcoat,
with pearl buttons the size of trade
dollars. and silk hat. He wore
diamond ring on his little finger,
diamond pin in his scarf, and had
large black mustache. He had the ap-
pearance of a man not quite certain to
create confidence in those he came in
contact with. The bills he offered for
sale he was making right before the
astonished gaze of the crowd. The
machine he used was handsome rose
wood affair, resembling miniature
clothes-wringer. The two rolls were
of dark green silk. A blank piece OF
paper the size of United States note
was placed between the two cylinders
of the roll, and when it came out on
the other side it was United States

who was turning the crank of the little

The two secret-service agents who
responded to the message over the
telephone watched the operation of the
man who worked the machine for fully
five minutes, and then left, laughing
as they did so at the way the fellow:
were fooling the public. The machine

Dom Pedro,s Bag of Earth.

The somewhat pathetic fact that
bag of Brazilian earth should have
been placed in the coffin beside the
corpse of Dom Pedro may serve to re-
cali to mind a somewhat analogous in
cident which occurred at the time OF
the birth of his grandson, the eldest son
of Crown Princess Isabella and her hus-
band, Prince CASTOR of Orleans, Count
d'Eu.
The imperial couple in question
were married many years before the
princess had any prospects of becoming
mother, and when finally it was
officially announced that she had hopes
of presenting the nation with an heir
to the throne the news was hailed with
much popular rejoicing.
Unfortunately the princess happened
to be travelling in Europe at the time
when this announcement was made,
and her physicians insisted that under
no circumstances must she undertake
the return journey to Brazil until after
the birth CT her child.
This advice placed the imperial fam
ily in somewhat difficult predicament,
for according to the terms of the
national constitution it was indlspens-
able that the heir to the throne should
be born on Brazilian soil.
Indeed, were he to make his debut
in the world on foreign territory it
would, according to the legal experts,
constitute sufficient ground for raising
the question as to the validity of the
child's rights to the crown.
After much deiberation and discus
sion the following ingenious solution
of the difficulty was determined upon:
A couple of sackfuls of earth were
brought from Rio de Janeiro and
streWn across the threshold of the Bra
lillian legation at Paris, and a few
hours before the birth of the child the
princess was conveyed thither and to
an apartment on the floor of which a
portion of the transatlantic soil had
been placed.
The young prince, therefore, was
declared to have been born on Bra
lillian soil, since not only was there
Brazilian earth on the ground, but,
moreover, the legation, by virtue OF
its extra territorial diplomatic privil-
eges, was regarded as part and parcel,
not of Paris or France, but of the
Brazilian empire.-N. Y. Recorder.

The Garterphone.

An ingenious little instrument called
the garterphone has recently been in
vented which, attached to my lady's
garter, registers the distance she walks
each day. The physical culture craze
has put an end to the reign of the
languid belle. Women go in for all
sorts of outdoor sports, and just now
walking is the fad. The heroine of the
hour is the woman who has walked the
greatest number of miles day. Hither-
to it has been impossible to determine
to a nicely the distance covered in a
given time, as when day is spent in
the deviating peregrinations of shop
ping tour. Now the young woman
proudly exhibits her garterphone to
admiring friends, and it is not unusual
for the little machine to register five
or six miles, and even ten occasionally.
The young woman who was too lazy to
walk, and yet did not wish to be entire
ly out of the race, sat in the hammock
all day enjoying a novel, while she
swung her pretty foot back and forth,
thereby attaining the same result on
her garterphone as her more energetic
sister.-San Francisco Examiner.
