Old Men of the Marines.

One of the curiosities Of the public
service is the present condition of the
Revenue Marine Service in the matter of
the antiquity of many of its officers. For
example: Captain Martin was born in
1900, Captain 0ttinger in 1904, Captain
Soammon in 1925, Captain Henriques in
1926, Captain Evans in 1917, First
Lieutenant Barston in 1924, First Lieu
tenant Loring in 1924, First-Lieutenant
Walden in 1926, Seeond-Lieutenant
Howard in 1921, Chief Engineer Roberts
in 1922, Chief Engineer Nallat in 1928,
Chief Engineer Chester in 1881, Chief
Engineer Chevcrs in 1882, Chief Engineer
Harrison in 1928 and Chief Engineer
Dinsmore in 1926. This condition only
exists because there is no remedy, and its
influence on the Revenue Marine Service
is very unfavorable and discouraging.
With captains over ninety years old,
first -lieutenants, second-lieutenants and
engineers over seventy, and all still on
the active list, the status of that services
cannot be effective. Under existing law
there is no retired list for the officers of
the Revenue Marine, and they must be
kept at the top when they grow old and
useless. No human organization can be
kept healthy and efficient without con
slant pressure of young blood at the
bottom. Captain Shepard and his pre-
dccessors have cndeavored to force Con-
gressional action, but so far their efforts
have not succeeded. r Washington Post.

head i. gcrgsd with blood, the fee. and

head is rcrged with blood, the feet and
hands are chilled, cold and shrynken,
and any application of hot water TO the
hands or feet which will relax the blood
vessels and SO briag the blood away from
these congested ccnte.s, is likely to re-
lieve the distress. Nervous headache, or
pains caused by overaction and over
work, will frequently be cured by laying
bare the neck and leaning over basin
and pressing a towel or sponge wrung
out OF hot water on the back of the neck.
BY repeating this again and again, aud
rubbing the neck, and Thoroughly rubbing
and sponging the base of the brain with
hot water, and afterwards sponging and
rubbing with cold water to avoid the dan
ger of taking cold, one will frequently
bring the blood TO the surface and re-
lieve the congestion and pain. S.Sep-
lesSness may often be rcmedied in the
same manner: and then if linen head
cap can be wrung out of water, either
cool or warm, and placed upon the head,
the evaporation OF the water will carry
oil the heat, the restlessncss, and sleep
lesSneSs altogether. Bathing the face IN
hot water, and sponging over ana over
the temples, bathing the throat, and
rubbing behind the cars with cloths
dipped In hot water and then cooling
the whole with fresh water, will not only
relieve suffering, but give the skin
a healthful and beautiful appearance.
So bathing tired eyes in hot water, and
laying upon them cloths wrung out of
water as hot as it can be borne, will fire.
quently relieve distress and effect a per-
manent cure There is probably no
known remedy for la grippe SO effective
as the liberal use of hot water. If a per-
son attacked with it, in almost any of its
various forms, could drink plenty of hot
water, and go into bath tub of water as
hot as he could bear it, remaining there
ten or fifteen minutes, thoroughly rub
bling the skin, and then cooling the
water off gradually, to avoid the danger
of taking cold, the results would be
most favorable and comfortable.
Most of our pains and miscries are the
fruit of our own misdoings, and the REM
edy for them is usually much nearer than
we imagine. - The Safeguard.

The Intelligent Eskimo Dog.

Eskimo draft dogs are almost incredible.
Any one who has observed them finds it
difficult to deny him the credit Of rea.
soning power | had one dog which
persisted in fcigning lameness or sickness
in order to shirk duty. He would sud-
denly begin to limp dreadfully and look
back ut his driver with most pitiable
expression. He succeeded several times
IN arousing my sympathy, and being re-
leased from the harness until one of my
Eskimos assured me that it was all trick

ever he tried to shirk, aud in every case
it would be days before any sign Of lame
ness would be seen again.
He had a trick of slipping out of the
harness. in which he was an expert, and
made his escape from the ropes in man
ncr which would make .spritualistic
medium green with envy. This dog
through Sinking his work had incurred
the cnmity of the rest Of the team, and

pyramidal OF shell-like shape, measuring
inches by 8 inches, aud about inches
high. 1t was completely developed in a
thin black molten crust. One of the
most extensive falls of meteoric stones on
record was that which happened in Nor

a very brilliant tireball was seen travers-

Some moments afterward violent ex-
plosion was heard, which was prolonged
for five minutes. The noise seemed TO
proceed from small cloud which re-
manned mutionless all the time, but at a
great elevation in the atmosphere. The
defamation was followed by the fall of al
immense number of mineral fragments

weighing 81 pounds. The sky wa
