ADMIRAL MELANcTHoN SMITH.
The Stirring Career of a Recently De-
ceased Naval Veteran.

The Stirring Career of a Recently De-
ceased Naval Veteran.
Admiral Melancthon Smith, who
died recently, came of an historic fam
lily, for his grandfather was Alexander
Hamilron's chief opponent in the New
York state convention which adopted
the constitution, and his father was
colonel in the war of 1912 and COM
manded Fort Moreau in the battle of
Plattsburg, while an uncle was a cap
tain in the navy and fought at Lake
Champlain under McDonough. The
admiral entered the navy in 1926 and
saw all sorts of service on sea and on
land, going round the world in 1928 on
board the Vincennes, commanding
fort in Florida during the Indian
troubles, acting as executive officer
of the Pensacola navy yard, and
serving as lighthouse inspector from
Maine to Nantucket. When the war
broke out he received command of the
steamer Massachusetts and helped to
guard the passes of the Mississippi.
October 25, 1861. he had an engage
ment with the confederate steamer
Florida and stopped her fire in an
hour. At the passage of the forts be-
low New Orleans he commanded the
Mississippi and destroyed the ram
Manassas. At Port Hudson he lost his
ship, which grounded right under the
fire Of the enemy. He set her on fire
and abandoned her. His next ship was
the Monongahela, with which he par
ticipated in the siege Of Port Hudson.
In command of the Onondaga he CO.
operated with Gen. Butler at Dutch
Gap. He had a hot engagement last
ing two days at the mouth of the
Roanoke river with the ram Albemarle
and two other boats, having feet Of
four small vessels besides the Onondaga
under his command. During both at
tacks Of Fort Fisher he commanded
the frigate Wabash. After the war
closed he was commander of the Wash
ington and New York navy yards and
governor of the naval asylum at Phil
adelphia. He was made a rear admiral
in 1870 and retired the next year. He
had visited very port in the United
States except that of California, been
blown up, had his ship burned and
had had shots fred through his hat
and clothing without receiving a
scratch. He was native of New York
city and was more than eighty-three
years old when he died.

An Ancient Art.

The art Of glass manufacture is prob
ably nearly as old as the world itself.
Specimens Of glass work of q superior
sort have been found In the ruins Of
the most ancient Egyptian cities, and
representations Of fglassblowers abound
in the Oldest sculptures. In ancient
Rome glassware was highly priced,
and its manufacture was carefully
studied and cultivated In the middle
ages the great glass center Of the
world for many years was Venice. The
city long kept the glassmaling art q
secret, but finally it was discovered,
and then Venice had to suffer brisk
competition from England, France and
Bohemia. The latter was for long
time vepice's strongest rival. and up to
the time OF the discovery Of English
flint or lead glass the bohemian glass
was the finest in the world.

sLeEp IS GOOD MEDICINE.


~
Liberal Indulgence Evsn Induces Flesh,
~ Inventor Edison Proved.
There is nothing like sleep to store
up nervous energy and put flesh on the
bones, says the Philadelphia Press. In
and generally ascribed to Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, it was recommended that
nervous women be put to bed and COM
PEELED to stay there while they were
fattened with nutritious foods, just as
chicken is fattened for m arket. With
the requirement of fat and the filing
upof the reservoirs of nervous strength
the fidgety, emotional, whimsical
woman will get up from her bed an
other being. Thomas A. Edison, the
electrician, proved by his own case
how flesh can be acquired by sleep.
One week he slept fourteen hours a
day and the next week twenty-five
hours. The result was gain of seven
pounds in weight. A woman of only
moderate physical strength was asked
how she managed to attend to the
large business from which she gained
support, and the answer was that she
obtained it by sleeping ten hours six
days and spending the whole of the
seventh day in bed. There has been a
visible advance in the health of the
American people during the past twen-
ty or thirty years. Their stock of vi
tality has increased and they live
longer. And while there are other
reasons for this change, the chief one
is that people sleep longer and rest
more. The hours for work have grad
ually grown fewer. Factory opera
tives are no longer compelled to hurry
to their work at five o'clock in the
morning and work until seven o'clock
in the evening.
Business and professional men go to
their counting-rooms and offices an
hour or more later and leave as much
earlier in the afternoon. The result is
more time for sleep and better health.
But there is still more room for i'm
provement in this way. Walter Be-
SAINT, the English novelist, said few
weeks ago at Harvard university, when
commenting on the graduating class:
"a fine, noble looking lot of young
men. They are unlike our English
university students physically. think
our young men, as a rule, are bigger,
heavier, stouter men, while yours
have more nervous activity than ours.
They are slighter and, perhaps, taller,
but they seem to be more highly
strung nervously." That is the trouble
with majority of graduates. Not
withstanding the growth of the
athletic spirit in colleges, too many
young men go out into life too "highly
strung nervously." There is no better
medicine than good sleep and plenty
of it, and many boy and man is
crippled in energy by an unwise habit
of getting up too early in the morning.
The American people would be
happier, there would be less crime
committed if people slept longer. It
is time the so-called sluggard had his
rights and the man who prefers his
morning snooze to morning cocktail
is estimated at his proper value.

sister, who had been afflicted with heart dis
ease, had been cured by the remedy, and was

an hour after taking the first dose l could
feel q decided improvement in the circulation
of my blood. When had taken three doses

done for months, and my limbs had been swol-
len so long that they seemed almost purified.
Before L had taken one bottle of the New
Heart Cure the swelling had all gone down,

When the first explosion occurred the
men quickly gave the aiarm and started
for the stairs. bat the flames had already
cut of retreat and the only means of exit
left them were windows fifty feet from the
ground The heat was 50 intense that
they were forced to creep out upon the
window siils and hang by their hands un-
I'll the fire department arrived. They were
terribly burned before being rescued. In
short time the FIRE spread 60 the seven
story building OF the Pittsbarg Storage
Company adjoining. and both structures,
200 feet long and 100 feet deep. we're burn
ing fercely. AZ o'clock il looked as
though the whole block, from Twelfth

to Pennsylyania avenue. was doomed and
residents were notified 70 move out
To add TO the excitement it was dis
covered that large tank Of ammonia was
located in the cellar Of the ice company's
building, and the police, fearing an ex-
piosion, quickly ordered the occupants of
the houses on Twelfth street 20 also va
cate. All the houses in the neighborhood
were Of q cheap class of tenemepts,
crowded to suffocation with Polish Jews
and Slays. When told to move out q panic
understandable started among them. Soon
after they got out the wall of the big
building was blown out again by an ex-
plosion Of more whisky stored therein, and
the debris buried long row Of tcnements
In the alley and three-story brick dwell

mates saved their furniture. The ruins took
fire Immediately, and for while the en-
tire tenement district Of Pennsylvania

By hard work the firemen succeeded in
drowning out the flames, but it was late
this evening before the fire was really
under control. When the walls of the big
buildings fell q great mob of people made
rush to get out of danger. Many men
tripped and fell and were trampled under
foot. Scores OF people received slight in
juries.
AT midnight the loss was placed at $700.-
