sisted of 1870 vessels, 2, 430 great guns,
4,575 quintals Of powder, nearly 10000
soldiers, above 5000 sailors and more
than 2,OO0 volunteers. 1t arrived in the
English channel on July 10 and was de-
feated the next day by Admiral How

kins and Frobisher. Eight fire ships
haxing been sent into the Spanish fleet,
they bore off in great disorder Profitlng

and .captured or destroyed nunaber OF
their shins, and Admiral Howard main

THE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE.
It Was Built by Oliver Evans, Who Couldn't
a. Law Up Money.

II 1t Was Built by Oliver Evans, Who Couldn't
y - Lay Up Money.
The real inventor of the locomotive
never realized cent from his invention.
D His name was Oliver Evans. He was
born in Delaware in 1855 and spent all
his life perfecting inventions which
\ were destined to bring him nothing but
more poverty. He was the original in
venter of the high pressure engine used
in locomotives, the only kind that could
be employed to advantage in this form
of transportation, but realized nothing
for his io;ea.
His application of the notion to both
Land and water power was somewhat
novel
In 1904 the municipality of Philadel-
phia called fu: bids for the dredging OF
the river and the cleaning Of the docks
Evans put in bid lower than any of
his competito RS, and when it was ac-
cepted determined to build a steamboat
to do the work.
He fitted out scow with steam en-
CINE, building both the engine and the
scow in his own workshop.
When the DO at was ready to be launch
ed, Evans Diet, rlnined to give t. ne peo-
pie of Pniladelphi an object les son in
mechanics, SO lie put the boat on VIII GELS.
fitted up a push wheel behind, set his
engine to work: and propelled the boat
through the streets to the river in the
midst of an open mouthed throng, not a
few of whom had dim idea that he
ought to be arrested for witchcraft.
When the boat reached the bank of
the river, the, wheels and axles were TAX
ell off, the craft was launched, fitted
out with other wheels and made to do
the work of dredging the harbor.
So far as the invention Of mechanical
devices went, Evans had a splendid
genius, but when dollars and cents came
up for consideration he was a mere
child, and even allowed himself to be
cheated out Of the money that was due
him for cleaning the Philadelphia har-
Dor with his new tangled steamboat

So that was their trick! A piece of

The italian looked up with a real Nea-

wide and irresponsible.

'You not give-a me way, gent men

All this time the wife stood with four
rather clean and very beautiful children
clinging to her skirts, and peeping shyly
at the strangers. How could Broughton
or any one else blame this happy family?
Indeed Broughton has never formu-
lated his views upon the case, although
he used to take social problems very Sc
riously. Whenever be meets Pietro in
the street they exchange a glance Of in
telligence. Sometimes the Neapolitan,
by a quick gesture, indicates Mariana
farther along the avenue.

Shirt waists with stiff collar and cuffs

and fresh looking. They are to be had In
solid colors both dark and light, in print
ed percale and lawn, OR with collar and
cuffs different from the body of the gar
ment. Waists of fine plaid bingham have
had quite a vogue, plaid being everywhere
acceptable this season. Those made OF out
ing flannel are not so much seen as for
merly, although they are more suitable
for the seaside and for athletic amuse-

THE OLD FRIENDS.
The old friends, the old friends

se-Afzs
The old friends, the old friends
We loved when we were young.
With tn !, sunshine on their faces z
And music on their tongues!
Inc bees are in the almond flower,
The birds renew their strain,
But the old friends, once lost to us.
Can never come again.
The old friends, the old friendsl
Their brow is lined with care;
They've burrows in the faded cheek
And silver in the hair,
But to me they are the old friends s;ill,
In youth and bloom the same
As when we drove the flying ball
Or shouted in the game.
The old men, the old men,
How slow they creep alongl
How naughty we scoffed at them
In days when we were youngi
Their pressing and their doing,
Their prate of times gone by,
Their SILVER like an aspen leaf
If but breath went by.
But we, we are the old men now,
Our blood is faint and chill;
We cannot leap the mighty brook
Or climb the breakneck hill.
We maunder down the shortest cuts,
We rest on stick or stile,
And the young mer, half ashamed to laugh
Yet pass us with smile.
But the young men, the young men,
Their strength is fair to see
The straight back and the springy stride,
The eye as falcon free,
The shout above the frolic wind
AS up the hill they go,
But though so high above us now
They soon shall be as low.
Oh, weary, weary drag the years
AS life draws near the end,
And sadly, sadly fall the tears
For loss of love and friend.
But We'll not doubt there's good about
In all of human kind
So here's a health before we go
To those we leave behind.

QUEER LANGUAGE.
The "Camphor Tongue" of a Wild but In
offensive Race.

The Champion Tongue" of q Wild but In
offensive Race.
One of the queerest languages in the
world, used for the queerest purposes,
is the "camphor language" OF Johore,
a country of the Malay peninsula. Ithas
lately been studied and reported upon
by Mr.. Lake, an English engineer in
the service Of the sultan of Johore. This
language is called the "Pantang Ka-
por," or camphor language, and is used
by the natives and all others who are
engaged in gathering the product OF the
Malayan camphor tree and only at that
! time. If they used either of the Ian
guages of the region, the Malay or the
aboriginal Jakun, the natives believe
that they could not obtain any camphor,
and for most curious reason. The cam
phor tree, Dryoblanops campsora, Crews
abundantly i'll certain parts Of the pc
ninsula, but only occasionally contains
eamphor crystals The camphor is not
the same as that obtained from the CAM
phor laurel of Formosa and Japan,
which is the source Of the ordinary CAM
pilor Of commerce. It is sort very
highly priced by the Chinese in the en-
balming of their dead, in incense and in
medicine, and the gum brings much
more than the common camphor.
The Malayans and other Johore ma
tives believe that each species of tree
has a spirit Or divinity that presides
oyer its affairs. The spirit of the CAM
phor t4ss is known by the name of BIZ
san-litsgally "a woman" Her resting
place is near the trees, and when at
night peculiar noise is heard in the
woods, resembling that of a cicada, the
Bisan is believed to be singing, and
camphor will surely be found in the
neighborhood. But the spirit of the CAM
phor tree seems to be jealous of the pre-.
cions gum and must be propitiated. and
if she knows that hunters are in quest
Of it she will endeavor to turn their
steps aside. So it is necessary to speak
in tongue which she does not under
stand. For this purpose the "camphor
language" has been invented 1t con-
sists of a mixture Of Jakun and Malay
words, but these are curiously altered
and reversed, and the natives positively
believe that the divinity Of the camphor
tree is completely confused. The Jakuns
who hunt the camphor are one of the
widest of people, but inoffensive. They
live together with monkeys, dogs, cats,
snnumerable fowls and perhaps tame
aornbill in perfect harmony under NOV
able leaf shelters built on poles in the
woods. Boston Traveller.

She Now Declares That Lawyers Come
Under the Head of Nuisances.
A few evenings ago a lawyer living
in West Philadelphia was visited at his
residence by an indignant woman, who
declared that she had come for legal adj
vice, and in businesslike manner de-
posted on his table SIS note as a re-
tanning fee. After pocketing the money
the man of law politely requested her
to proceed with her statement She said
she was continually afflicted with Sc
ries of nuisances which she desired the
lawyer to have abolished.
She was annoyed by a neighbor on.

slant humping ON the piano and the

made her very nervous. On the other
side the neighbor kept chickens, which
awoke her early in the morning by their
growing and annoyed her during the
day by flying over the fence and invad-

was made nervous by the noise Of the
trolley cars passing her door, organ
grinders and peddlers made her life mis-
cradle, hucksters added to her misery
by calling their wares, and she wanted
to know what action she must take in
order to be made free of such nuisances.
The lawyer reflected a few moments
with compressed bxow, and then said,
"Madam, you are decidedly unfortu

go to real estate agent and engage him
to secure for you nice. comfortable
