EVENING COlCRS.

The Brautiiui Ceremony Of Hauling Down
tho Ensign OF the Navy.
A few minutes before shutdown a
buEle-call sounded from the flagship,
AMI the call was Immediately repeated
by the buglcrs Of the other ships of the
squadron. writes w j Henderson In

what is that?" | asked.
That's Stand by the color1'" said
one of the officers.
Two sailors came aft. east off the en-
sign halyards, and stood by with their
eyes ON the nug.ship In n few mo-
mcnts we heard bugles sounding again;
for you must know that on board ship
many of the commands are conveyed
by few musical notes upon the bugle.
marine came aft and. saluting. said:
Haul down. sir?'
IAN right" said the officer Of the
deck stand of.
At that order the bug!cr Of the Yantic
blew the lovely call; Evening Colors."
The moment he sounded the first
note. the officers rose from their chairs,
faced the colors, took of their caps,
and stood silent, in respectful attitudes,
while the two seamen slowly hauled
down the colors. bringing them In over
the rail rs the call came to an end.
When the colors reached the deck and
were gathered in by the seamen, and
the last note of the bugle died away,
the officers put on their caps. resumed
their seats. and went on with their con-
versation.
Removing the cap in honor Of the
colors is the common form of salute In
the navy. When an officer comes up
from below he always lifts his cap in
the direction Of the quartsr-deck; and
all boys should remember, when visiting
u man-of-war, that the proper thing to
do when you go on board Is to turn
toward the stern Of the ship, where the
ensign always fies at the taffrail staff.
and raise the hat II the officer Of the
deck secs you, he will return the salute;
but whether anyone is on the quarter
deck or not, always raise your hat when
you go aboard The salute is to the
Gag. not to any person, and surely
every American boy ought TO be proud
TO lift his hat TO the Gag Of his country.

sea IoreveI.'
ave had now been four days knock
ing about in this terrible fashion. when
onc morning was aroused by Shrek
and cries of Captain! captain! The
buckle of my belt had been drawn up
to its hole in order TO keep my poor,
collapsed stomach from grinding itself
TO pieces, and had lift the steward on
watch and was catching few winlss of
sleep, when that fearful shrek caused
me To start up with jerk.
THE beast was loose. Yes, these
words describe the situation exactly.
While had been sleeping the giant
mulatto had walked mp in frenzy,
which the others had made futile eff
forts to control. had filed n tarpaulin
hat with sea water and taken long and
deep draughts Of it. In n few moments
he was u raving mailman, frothing ut
the mouth and tearing his own flesh
with his glistening teeth. 1t was n
sight to strike terror to the stoutest
heart. What feared ut first thought
was that he would swamp the boat, for
he threatened every moment to rise
from his llnceling position. To turn the
boat over meant quick and sure death
for us Nil. for not one Of us had strength
enough 70 swim stroke. But no, the
maniac ha6, other ends in view. With
deep. prolonged growl he threw him
self upon the poor steward. aud scizing
the terror-striclien man with his huge
hands he drew him into his lap rs II he
weighed no more than four stone.
"Then | felt my hair stiifcn and my
heart struggle to keep up its beat. for
horror Of horrors. what did see? That
huge beast in human form with Il rapid
motion bent the stewards head back
and then set those terrible teeth Of his
into the poor mans throat. In an in
slant was upon him. Ny own strength
and viror astoundcd me. but although !
raincd blow after blow upon the mulat-
to's head with the butt of my pistol. it
had no more effect than the tapping of
n lady's gloved hand.
Meantime. the stewards face grew
blaclscr and blaclicr There was not IN
instant TO be lost. and setting the barrel
of M revolver ut the mulatto's ear, |
pressed the trirpcr.

Lincoln's Literary Ability.

From lecture by r. w. Glider.
Both Napoleon and Lincoln at
tanned their power OF expression
partly through great practice in
youth. Napoleon wrote romance
and history. Lincoln wrote verse
and composed speeches. Napoleon
failed as literary man; Lincoln
certainly did not make any great
success as a lyceum lecturer; in
fact, his style was at its best only
when his whole heart was enlisted.
Napoleon's art, when once ac-
quired, was the making Of phrases
which pierced like the knife OF a
CorsiCan or tingled the blood like
a trumpet's call. His words go at
their mark like the stroke of light
ming. Lincoln's style was not
marked by flights of rhetoric, nor
had it any wealth of scholarly
adornment. 1t was without, for
instance, the brillianCy Of Lowell.
At its best it was characterized by
great simplicity and directness,
which in itself is an artistic quality.
In an addition, there is an
agreeable cadence, not over
done except in one curious
instance, where, in a passage
of the second inaugural, it degen.
crates into actual rhyme. Then
there is a quaint homeliness and
humor or illustration, along with a
most engaging frankness and in
tellectual honesty. The reader has
both an intellectual and moral sat
isfaction in the clearness and fair
ness of the statement. All this af-
fects agreeably the literary form,
and helps to give Lincoln's style,
at times, the charm of imaginative
utterances; for imagination in lit
erature is essentially the faculty of
seeing clearly and the art Of stating
clearly the actual and direct truth.

Women's Pen Names.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
IU is curious fact that nearly
all women who become Dustin.
guished in literature under a non-
de-plume have done so under
names that were either
masculine or had no sex
suggestion. Nobody could tell
whether or not Cures Bell was a
man or woman. In fact there
is reason to believe that Char
lOtte Bronte on the title page
would have handicapped "Jane
Eyre" George Sand, too, won an
audience that would have been
impossible to AurOre Dude
want, as did George Eliot one that
would have whistled Margarine
Evans quite down the wind. Com
ing nearer our own time, there is
John Strange Winter who is, in
private life, Mrs. Stanard-and
John Oliver Hobbies, the sensation
Of at least a DOndOn week, who is
really Mrs. Perry Cragle. Then, in
our own country, we have Octave
Thanet, known to her friends as
Miss Alice French, and Charles
Egbert Craddock, whom all the
world has heard Of, though only
about half of it would recognize
her as Miss Murfree.

UNION PACIFIC TIME TABLE
The First Americans.

Man lived on this continent earlier
than or at least as early as he lived on
the European continent, but it is not
believed that the Indians are de-
scended from such early people. The
latest theory seems to be that the 30
called American Indians are descended
from Chinese, who in some way reached
the western coast thousands of years
ago. The parallelisms between the
customs of the Chinese and the ancient
Peruvians are often very striking; the
systems of government of the two
peoples were similar; the emperor and
the inca both claimed descent from
Heaven; both countries had irrigating
canals, and in both countries taxes
were paid in kind and stored in public
warehouses; both maintained
public roads, disposed Of their dead
with the same ceremonies and built
houses In much the same style. Hum
boldt found in the Mexican calendar
strong resemblances to the ancient cal
endar used in Tartary, India and Thi-
bet. The skull of the American, except
in its greater length, greatly resem-
bles that of the Chinese.

Some VEGETABLES. Coyotes. Ftc.

EDITOR WORLD: The recent discussion
OF the scalp-bounty question reminds
me of some other experiments of man
kind by way of meddling with the econ
omy of nature. The result is not always
pleasant or profitable and seems to
prove that the Survival of the fittest"
is not an infallible rule.
We kill the coyotes and the rabbits
increase, becoming much greater pest
than before the balance was disturbed.
We introduced English sparrows into
Central park to destroy insects, and
now several states are paying bounty
to get rid of them, because they are
driving out some of our songbirds. They
are becoming common in this county
In some sections OF the country the Hes
sian fly is the greatest enemy of the
wheat raiser. Its introduction is said
to be connected, incidentally, with the
history of the United States. How
many of our common school pupils can
tell how? The rabbits introduced into
New Zealand few years ago multiplied
rapidly and became destructive pest.
Now the government is endeavoring to
destroy them.
These unhappy experiments are not
all confined to the animal kingdom. The
Canadian" thistle, said to be imported
with clover seed, has received legislative
attention in some of our states. Just
now the 'Russian" thistle, or saltwort,
is troubling the Dakota farmers who
hope to exterminate it with legal assist
ance.
Doubtless the surroundings or ''en-
viroment" plays great part in deter
mining whether plant or an animal is
pest or friend to man. 1t is said
that Thomas Jefferson brought an orna-
mental plant from France to Monticello
which speedily over-ran the plantation.
The patriotic Scotchman who carried
the thistle of his native country to Aus
tralia discovered that it was no longer
common thistle, but rather tree in
that land of peculiar climate, plants and
animals.
conclude that changes in the plants
and animal life (fora and fauna) of the
country will come as fast as we are ready
for them and as the result of natural
laws. An increase of population means
decrease of coyotes. We can then
stand few more "jacks" as we will
have more vegetation for them to SUBJ
sist upon. Hopefully,
