A REGULAR TYRaNT.

Lieutenant omrz ander Reeder, Executive
Officer of the Cruiser Charleston, Said to
Be Responsible for the Refusal of the
Crew of the Vessel to Re-Enlist for the
Cruise in Asiatic Waters-They Cannot
Stand His Despotic Exercise of Authori-
ty.
NEW YORK, Aug. ga Tribune spe-
clal from San Francisco says: When a
few days ago orders were received to
fit the cruiser Charleston for the Asiat;c
service it was decided to take no short
term men who would not re-enlist.
Over $50 of these men were mustered,
but the captain was amazed to find that
only five would reship. The others
said they preferred to get their dis
charge. The fact that the ma jority of
these men are veterans, who have served
years in the navy
MAKES THEIR ACTION MORE NOTE
WORTHY.
The real cause of this refusal of old
sailors to reship is said to be the hard
ships they have endured from Lieut.
Commander Reeder. the executive Off
GER. His despotic ways have caused
mutiny several times and have made
the ship hated by Jack. He was APP
pointed executive officer in June 1898,
but he got his first chance to Cypress
sailors on the voyage to Rio. At that
port, despite the captains orders, he
made the men go through
HARD DRILLS DURING THE TROPICAL
HEAT.
Men often fell exhausted. and for
eign officers on other ships declared
that these drills tempted yellow fever.
At Rio there was no shore leave, but
when CallaO was reached it was eX-
pected that the sailors would get the
usual liberty. Reeder, however, re-
fused any shore leave to the men.
though he allowed the Chinese and
Japanese servants to go ashore. \ COM
plant was made to Washington,
But NOTHING RESULTED.
On reaching Mare island. after eight
months close duty on shipboard. the
sailors expected good time. Instead,
they had to serve at Oakland wharf to
guard railroad property from strikers,
and then on their return We're set to
coaling ship. Then they struck, and
the captain granted them all ten days
leave. From Washington came orders
to pay them. Though every man had
nearly years pay on the books,
REEDER REFUSED TO GIVE THEM Any
MONEY.
The men paraded through the streets
of Vallejo with banners, declaring that
Reeder was responsible for their empty
pockets. Reeder is also accused of pet
ty tyranny towards several men. In
one case he had Fireman Whitley
court-martialed for rescnting his des-
potic ways. but Whitley was prompt
ly acquitted. He will appeal to Wash
full friends.

There Are Many Reasons Why, but Don't
DO 1t.
The practice of nibbling at the fin
gernails is to be condemned, first, on
the ground that the nails are thereby
rendered brittle and unsightly, and
secondly, because it is a senseless habit
which makes the practice of it a source
of constant irritation to the friends of
anyone who has the habit.
The habit is usually acquired at
school in early childhood, and steps
should at once be taken to break it up.
This may be done in various WAYS.
1t is usually sufficient to explain to the
child the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the habit,
requiring him to be constantly watch
full against it in himself, and to dis
courage the practice in everyone else.
Punishment is usually uncalled for.
Strategy may be resorted to in case
the habit is well esta blished. The fin
ger ends may be dipped in some harm
less preparation of disagreeable or
bitter nature, which will serve to re-
mind the child what he is doing.
A French Investigator has lately pub
lished the results of an elaborate study
of the subject, chiefly in reference to
the Importance of the habit as an indi-
cation of nervous disease.
His Investigations have been pur-
sued among the school children of
Paris, among whom he found the habit
widely prevalent. OF the total number
of children examined, about one-third
were given to the practice, the greater
proportion being among the girls. The
age at which the habit was most COM
mon was found to be between twelve
and fifteen years.
The investigator thinks he has dis
covered a remarka ole relation between
nail-biting and defective, or at least
an impaired stability of. mind and
character, as all the teachers united in
saying that the pupils addicted to nail
biting were the poorest students. The
boys were inclined to effeminacy, and
the girls to slackness. Both sexes
showed lessened ability to sustain
the attention, and were consequently
the hardest pupils to teach.
According to this French student the
habit is best corrected by endeavoriny
to transform the unconscious act into
a conscious one. thereby counteractinp
the tendency to confirmed habit.
1t is doubtful if nail-biting is ir-
dicative of anything more serious than
a nervous temperament, which should
be treated on general principles
