CASTOR OIL FOR JACK TARS.
Thousands OF Gallons Sold TO Captains Whs
Doctor Their Crews.


Thousands Of Gallons Sold TO Captains Who
Doctor Their Crews.
Just below the Produce Exchange is
neat looking drug store which has pc
culiar line of'trade. The proprietor has
been in the business almost quarter of
century, and if the adventurous youths
who banker to be sailor boys only knew
how many thousand gallons of castor
oil the druggist had doled out In his
time to ships captains the said youth
tould decide to hunt adventures ON land.
This drug store fits out ships with
medicines. Anybody who has had any
experience with the merchant service
knows that the captain is usually the
only NJ D. aboard. and that his knowl-
edge was never gained in any college Of
pharmacy or medicine In the office Of
the United States shipping commission
ers is filed a record Of the trip of every
ship that takes a crew from United
States ports. 1t is virtually private
diary kept by the captain for the benefit
of the government. No matter what
happens, the amount and number of the
doses Of medicine administered to the
crew and to each individual of it are
set down, with the miputest details. II
appears from these diaries that the most
popular and potent medicine known to
captains is good old fashioned castor oil.
No matter what is the trouble with
Jack, he gets castor oil. None Of the
newfangled variations Of it is pre-
scribed. The proprietor of the drug
store bears out this statement. He says
that more castor oil is administered to
sailors than any other medicine, unless
it may be salts and SIENNA. No captain
will sail without a liberal supply OF
both. Oftentimes captain has reason
to believe some of his crew are sham.
ming illness, and then the castor oil is
administered in doses to bring any man
to his sober senses.
Among the medicines in the captains
chest are rhubarb, quinine, jamaica
ginger and paregoric and certain old
fashioned patent medicines. No modern
discoveries in that line are allowable.
So this druggist keeps on hand for his
shipping patronage patent medicines
that the modern patent medicine fiend
never heard Of, they date so far back.

Napoleon was really an Italian who
was so ashamed of his nationality as to
Frenchify even his name. But he did
not allow his animosity to end here.
Every Italian who came to court at
France was subject to what we should
call roasting" on the score of his
nationality. Even the ladies were not
spared, and once when Bonaparte was
talking with brilliant young Italian
countess he suddenly broke out with:
Madam, is it true, as they say, that
Italians are liars?"
Sweeping low, the lady replied:

WHAT THE DUKE HAS COST.
Has Received Salaries of Many Ofices and
Gifts of More Than S3,boo,ooo.


Gifts of More Than SS,boo,Ooo.
The Duke of Cambridge, the queen IS
cousin, is one of the fat kline who have
managed to pick up decent living at
the expense of the British Taxpayers
without that enormous amount of serv-
ice that might be supposed to cover the
income they receive.
He was the SON Of the tenth child Of
George II, who was created Duke of
Cambridge, Earl of Tipperary and Baron
Culloden, and who died in 1850. George,
the second and present duke, was voted
an annuity of $50, n year when his
father died, and the Orphans path was
made tolerahly easy. Joseph Hume, the
well known economist, voted to reduce
this amount by one-half, but could find
enly b2 members to go with him In tha
lobby.
The young duke was soldier. John
Bright moved to limit the dukes in
come to the 500, 1000 from all sources,
but this very reasonable proposition was
defeated-l0S to 80. Tho duke graduat-
ed in army emoluments i'll 1880, when
at lS years of age he became colonel
Eight years later he was major gen,
eral, in which capacity he held some Of
the most lucrative posts in the service;
in 1854 Il lieutenant general, and was
given the command of Crimean divi-
sion; in 1856 II general on full pay, and
six years later field marshal Mt $22,-

dier guards, and as this greatly coveted
military appointment, with its Fl0,66
year, has for 81 years been retained
by one already overloaded with public
money and honors, IT can be imagined
how much assistance army economists
and reformers are likely to get from the
head Of the service.
H. r. H. also resides at Gloucester
House, FREQ of rent rates and taxes, an
immunity which must be at least worth
about $40, 900 year, and this privilege
he has enjoyed since 1857. The duke
has also since 1852 been ranger of st.
James, Green and Hyde parks and since
1857 ranger of Richmond park, all lit
tie pickings of salaries making sum
equal to $4,000 year apiece or about
500, 1000 Besides this he is colonel Of
the artillery and the engineer regiments.
To all hints that he might resign and
lot some other soldier have chance at
the lucrative and honorable position as
head of the army the duke has turned a
deaf ear. If the British nation does not
know when it has good servant, George,
duke of Cambridge, is fully alive to the
fact that he has good master, and is in
no hurry to quit.
An estimate of the amount Of money
the Duke Of Cambridge has drawn from
the British people since he did them the
honor of seeking living at their ex-
pense brings the sum total to near
e700,000, Or about SO, 800, 900. The
amount that he has cost the nation by
opposition to ideas Of military reform is
not SO easily estimated. Perhaps there
are two sides to that question. The sal
ary side seems to have only one, and a
well buttered one, too, for the duke. -

PRESIDENT ELIOT has one trait in
which many other college presidents do
not emulate him. He has the courage
of his convictions. On all questions OF
college poll ~ he speaks his mind. His
views on football are not left to be in
ferred from occasional private remarks.
He believes in reforming foot ball or abol
ishing it. That, to be sure. is not pop
ular position for the head of college to
hold. But it makes no difference with
DR.. Eliot. Entirely in contrast is the
eyasive attitude of President Dwight.
At banquet of Yale men in Boston re-
Gently President Dwight was fairly
pushed into the subject OF football; but
he continued to wabble round the ques-
tion and to speak for fifteen minutes or
more in strain of commonplace rarely

1t must be said of Mr.. Edward W.
Box as he has said of the modern clergy
man, he does not understand his sub
ject. Most of the reasons he gives why
young men do not attend church and
attach themselves to religion, are palpa-
bic examples of the false cause. Neither
the church nor the pulpit is more defic-
lent in our day than in any former day. In
every particular of Mr.. Boks allegation

pathy with the modern spirit, have been
recommended often; and as often those
who have made the most complete sur
render to this demand, have signally
failed.
Young men are not, as the Box
thesis supposes, aclass. They are many
classes. There is the young rowdy, the
young loafer, the young dude, the young
boor, the young gentleman. There are
clerks, laborers, students, travelling men,
society-men The reasons that would
keep some from given church would
draw others to it. When you are writ

took of his age. 1t was about every
thing that his age was not. Clearly
then, it was not the product of his
age, or certainly not exclusively SC.
There was something in Jesus not to
be found either in his ancestors or
environment.
And what adds to this conviction is
the fact that those who attempt to
derive Jesus from his age usually be-
gin by belittling him. They take
away his sinlessness and assure us
that the historic Christ was very diff
ferent from our ideal Christ; that the
Jesus of the New Testament is not
the real Jesus and that the real Jesus
was simply the product of his age.
The reason of this is apparent. If
you can make Jesus small enough,
reduce him to just an ordinary good
man, there is no trouble in accounting
for him on the grounds of evolution.
Hence we are persuaded that this
cannot be doae when Jesus is left Just
the unique character that he appears
in the Gospels. This belittling pro-
cess is necessary to the solution of
the problem. Eliminate the unique
element in Jesus and then it is easy
to evolve him in the most approved
fashion.
And when we hear men, especially
young men, assert, very persistently,
that Jesus was the product of ordi-
nary evolution, we wonder if they
really know their Master, ifthey have
taken his measure, if they really COM
prehend his moral majesty and spirit
ual greatness. For if they did we
feel quite certain that they would be
less pronounced in their affirmation
The truth is that Jesus was not
wholly the product of his birth and
age. There is something in the pro-
duct here that is not in the inheritance
or environment. Jesus is special
creation in the universal creation. He
is special fruit on the universal tree
of life. He is the product of an evo.
luton, but not of the ordinary evolu.
ton. He came not only of natural
but of divine selection. God chose
him and especially endowed and en-
vironed him from the beginning. The
supernatural was added to the natu-
raj in his production. The spirit OF
God brooded over him and guarded
and guided his unfolding until he
became the "brightneas CT the Faith
er's glory and the express image OF
His person."
