SAKE HER
A Chip of the Old Navy.

Sake Fisher died with the old navy. Not
that the glorious ancient service is dead
it only passed from the cid to the new ship,
and the iron spirit that worked the
smooth throated batteries behind the
wooden bulwarks is to-day within the
steel-clad turrets looking along the
polished tube of the rifed gun.
Sake Fisher-strong, steadfast and
loyal American sailor as he was-went
away with the slittle cherub that sits up
aloft keeping watch over poor Jack" when
the new Atlanta slipped into the water
and led the way for the White Squadron
which now bears the flag of Paul Jones',
Hull, Decatur and FarraguJ around the
globe. He didn't go into bird like Paddy

some other thing of the air will fly off
with her.
Sake wasn't that kind of man-o'-war's-
man. Whenever ne was drafted to another
ship he quietly went down to the pay
Office and signed accounts, got his ham
mock out of the netting, restowed and
locked his diddy-box, got his black bag
from Jimmy Legs, the ex-ofiicio baggage
master, and went over the side, saying he
was "glad to get clear of the old wagon. )"
Now, Sake Fisher didn't mean any dis

remarkable what industry is displayed
along this line when the custodian of the
tank is jolly good fellow of the right cut.
Sake and his particular chum, Old
Johnson, the quarter-gunner, passed good
lot of their time down in the forepeak where
the paintstores were located and the con-
tents of the alcohol tank ebbed low. 1t
was noticed that the two ancient hulks
were animated with a mysterious liveli-
ness and went skylarking along the decks
with the elastic spring of a golden youth
in their old timbers. New stories were
told around the 60-pounder on the to-
gallant forecastle when the stars were
doming the wave and the ship was thread
ing the warm parallels of a summer sea.
But the keen-eyed lieutenant was noting
the mystic dance of the painter and his
chum and the fountain of nectar stopped
flowing. Fisher was solemnly told that
the surgeon had poisoned the alcohol and
the sailor who made his morning toddy
from that toxic compound would slumber
in his hammock until the ocean exhumed
dead shellbacks.
Fisher turned over new leaf, and was
the most uncompromising teetotaler in the
ship, and his yarns, it was noticed, were
tipped off with words that could only come
from mind regenerate. But his repent
ance was too late for material benefit. The
first time he was asked to mix pot of
paint his. woeful deficiency in his new rat
ing became manifest, and his ''crow" took
wings and flew away. He never could be

plank and take passage in some outward
bound vessel. They are descendants of
feline runaways from other ships that have
moored at the wharves, or the castaways
of ships that have gone out of commission
and have been emptied of their living
freight. These four-footed orphans SEEM
ing1y always knew when Fishers vessel
came in, and waited around on the docks
for a chance to ship with him. And their
instinct was unerr1ng, for they ever found
in him an indulgent and devoted master.
Let the most wretched and starving kitten
creep timorously in through an open port
and it was soon found purring contentedly
upon Saxie's diddy-box, while its foster
sea-daddy was energetically foraging
among the messchests for his new protege.
The only return he exacted for whole
voyage of slavish devotion to his pets was
frequent performance of the funny and
uncatly antics he taught them. They
stood watch with him at night, and played
around his feet while he walked the deck
on his cathead-lookout. When be was at
the wheel, and, consequently could not
play with them, they sat on the quarter
deck and yowled in Observation-Disclosures OF their
abandonment. He swung his hammock
low-that is heightened out the head and
foot lanyards, and slept in blight las he said,
that his cats could turn in with him from
the deck. Nor was he solely addicted to
cure harborage in his warm heart. He
once brought young squirrel aboard and
the lively little creature, given the liberty
of the whole ship, became general favor
tie fore and aft. The captain decoyed it
into the cabin, where nuts and fruits grew
prodigally, and it was living in luxury until
the skipper found that his small messmate
had chewed the bone buttons off his white
duck trousers. Then bunny went ashore
in disgrace.
Sake Fisher passed a superannuated
hulk into some snug harbor whence he
slipped his shore lines and climbed aloft.
This was well, for he would not have been
fittingly quartered behind the plates OF
steel and in the superstructure of the
metal fighting machines that took the
place of the grand old frigate and saucy
sloop-of-war that swept the waves of long
ago. With the sail went the sailor, and
the hands hard and horny from gripping
the battery train-tackles and slowing the
rebellious storm-whipped canvas on the
springing yards. The kind old hands that
were ever lifted to help one of Gods help
less creatures, great and small, were crossed
one above the other under his country's
dropping flag. And the stories he told in the
deep midwatch in the to'gallant forecas-
tie when the stars were silvering the quiet
sea-and his life story-were told and Sake
Fisher laid still forever.

new TREATMENT FOR CATARRH.
The --latest Improved Methods are in Vogue at the
Copeland Medical Institute.
of
mains the for and

Things thought good year ago have been
thrown aside for something better. This will
hold good in the treatment of chronic diseases
more than in anything else. A year ago diph-
iberia was considered all incurable disease
now methods have been discovered by which
it can be quickly and surely cured. Each year
diseases are rendered more durable and the
cost of cure less. Years ago catarrh was con-
sidered incurable, and the only relief was a
wash of salt and water and change of climate.
The methods of Drs. Copeland and Neal demon
strated that catarrh was not only durable, but
the cost of o cure was less than the expense OF
a trip necessary for change of climate. Last
year Drs Copeland and cal cured catarrh bet
ter and quicker than ever before. This year
they have made discoveries that enable
them to announce that they can cure the disease
quicker better and cheaper than ever. 1t is
with catarrh as with everything else; new rem
edies; new appliances and new methods are
found that remove the disease more effectually
from the system. If other doctors have not dis
covered the safe, sure and quick methods OF
Drs Copeland and Neal it is not Drs. Copeland
and Meals fault The field of study and inves-
tigation is open to all.
A cordial invitation is extended by Drs.
Copeland and Neal to all their friends and
patients old as well as new, to call and test the
new treatment. 1t has passed the stage OF ex-
pertinent and has been demonstrated COM
plete success, particularly in those cases which
have withstood the other and older methods OF
treatment During the past week they have
added to their already complete Offices the new
appliances, and are now ready to treat all thoSe
more stubborn cases which in the past nave
been thought incurable. 1t is to their financial
interest, as well as their medical fame, to cure,
for one cured patient is worth many dollars of
advertising. They have the best treatment
and the new and direct means of using 1t.

LORD RosEBBRY's VERSATILITY.
He Once Was a Racing HIan-Wanted to
Grasp at Everything.

He Once Was Racing Man-Wanted to
Grasp at Everything.
I first heard of Lord Rosebery as bril-
liant after-dinner speaker at literary and
theatrical banquets. He then appeared to
be a young man given naturally more to
literature and the drama than the dry
work of politics. He was looked upon as
one who had more inclination for the
pleasures than the business life. He was a
racing man, fond of the turf and of all that
belonged to it. Now it is distinctly in
favor of mans popularity in England
that he should be votary of the turf.
The people do not desire that
their leading statesmen should be ascot
les. 1t is an additional attraction
in a public man that he should
be lover of sport in one form or another.
Many sturdy Tory softened toward John
Bright because he was known to be an
ardent lover OF trout and salmon fishing.
Lord Rosebery has, indeed, great many
doris words put it, he warmed both hands
before the fire of life." He stretched out
eagerly for every wholesome occupation
and amusement that existence could give
him. Other men Of his station moved
along one groove and only one. The man
of the turf was man of the turf and moth
! ing else. The politician was politician.
/ The scholar lived with his books. But
Lord Rosebery seemed to want TO grasp at
everything and to accomplish everything.
This gave him a great start at the Begin
ming, for it made him known in all circles.

Long Ago.

OF all the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
is one OF dim old forest,
That seemeth best of all;
Not for Its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the vioIets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk-white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coquetting all day with the sunbeams,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines on the upland,
Where the bright red berries rest;
Not for the pinks, nor the pale sweet cowslipi
1t seemeth TO me the best.
I once had little brother
With eyes that were dark and deep,
In the lap of that oIden forest
BE lieth in peace asleep;
Light as the dawn of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We roamed there the beautiful summers,
The summers of long ago:
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one Of the autumn ewes
I made for my little brother
A bed Of the yellow leaves.
sweetly his pale arms folded
My neck in q meek embrace,
AS the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the treetops bright
He fell, in his saint-like beauty,
Asleep by the gates of light.
Therefore, Of all the pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
The one Of the dim old forest
Seemeth the best of all. ALICE CARY.

Books About Children.

The children have cause to rejoice IN the
tidings from across that a complete man
uscript volume, entitled, Letters to Boy
of Twelve" has been discovered among
the unpublished manuscripts of Robert
Louis Stevenson. Zangwiu credits Stew
enson with having set the fashion of liter
airy interest in the child's psychology, and
calls books about children as distinct
8. from childrens books, new and delight
full nook in literature.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett's books
have made much laughter and many
happy tears on two continents. Child ma
ture and the love Of 1t seem common to
the nations, and Mrs. Burnett's books
have been translated into several Ian
guages. 1.-THE One 1 Knew Best of ALP is
a pretty little bit of autobiography, full of
revelations of childish sufferings and fears
that ought to teach a lesson to those
grave "grown-ups" who have forgotten
that sensitiveness is peculiarly a childish
trait and that there is no tragedy like that
which comes to the child without perspec-
tive.
'How Fauntleroy Really Occurred is a
charming biography of a child and full of
touches Of good old-fashioned mother-love.
OF the little new arrival his loving mother
writes:
1--WE were sure that the new member OF
the family appreciated the difficulty of his
position. We wondered if he had under
Stood when he had heard US refer to him
as Little Calamity" After a few davs'
acquaintance with him we were afraid he
had and felt deIicacy in using the term,
which we had at first thought rather good
joke. Dear Little Calamity, how often we
have spoken of that misnomer since.
From his first hour his actions seemed
regulated by the peaceful resolve never to
uncomfortable. The unhinching-
ness with which he devoted himself to the
fine art of infant fascination was really
worth rejecting upon. AT 30 there are
numerous methods by which person may
prove that he is worthy of affection and adj
miration; at months his charms are linn
tied to a good digestion, tendency to
somnolence and an unobtrusive temper"

cup of junket, made with essence of pepsine
Fairchild's) and one or two lady-fngers or q
sweet bun one day old.
Supper.-Bread, butter and honey, milk and
small piece of one-day-old Moravian cake.
The above menus may be interchanged
to suit the general house supply and all
that is needed to give still further variety
with the foods allowed is to study the pro-
portions of the cereals, starches, broths,
meats, juicy vegetables, fats and fruits in
their relations to the menus given and to
regulate the quantities according to the
age and condition of the child. 1t will be
noticed that the quantities are indicated
where certain foods are to be limited at
each meal, leaving the others to be given
according to the appetite of the child.
With but few exceptions, tomatoes, figs,
bacon and dates, the articles mentioned
may be used for children from years up,
but the amounts given will be found to be
more than is required for that age, as they
are sufficient for a hungry child of s.
Babyhood.
