OFFICIAL SONG WRITER.
The French Navy Has One Employed
by the Year.


Paris Letter in Chicago Chronicle.
To the inventive genius of NJ. Lockroy,
the minister of marine, is due the brill
liant idea of appointing what may be
called an official minstrel to the national
navy. NJ. Lockroy has observed with con-
Germ that the sailor of the present day
has mo heart for his work" SO far from
producing the tonic effect which might
have been expected from 1t, the iron of
the modern warshiF appears, in the min
listers opinion, to enervate and depress
the crew. They want excitement to keep
their spirits up, and the rules OF the
French service apparently do not permit
them to achieve this object, like Thomas
Hoods hero, by pouring spirits down.
Grog, we are told, is not to be thought of,
and cups of strong coffee are regarded as
too costly an incentive TO Valor.
In these circumstances Ii has occurred
to NJ. Lockroy that bard might be the
very thing, and accordingly a Breton sea
poet Of the name of Yam Nibor has been
sent to Toulon to recite his inspiring lays
on board the warships of the French Med
iterranean fleet. Brittany furnishes by
far the largest proportion of sailors to the
navy of the republic. but its sons dislike
the mechanical occupations of the new
model men-of-war, and pine for the old
fashioned warships, IN which the sail
or's energies found such varied exercise
The poet with the name which looks so
like a word spelled backward is now a
clerk in the ministry OF marine, out ne
has been to sea himself. which is at 1t
should be.
He is described as more powerful and
less sentimental than Dibdin," which also,
to use a familiar metaphor, Is what the
doctor ordered;" and he further fills the
bill yet more completely by being huge
giant OF a creature. who looks nearer
seven than six feet high and seems hewn
out of granite with a Ratchet" III min
strel of this stature and appearance could
not breathe deliberate valor' into the
breasts of a navy 1t would be surprising
indeed but Nibor seems to require a
good deal of time for the operation.
He spent twenty days on board the
Suffren singing his songs and recitlng
his poems, and when the Suffren had been
sufficiently wound up he divided the
month of October between the Trident
and the Formidable, the flagship of Ad-
mirals Gervais and Coverville. He is now
laying in a stock Of new songs, among
them The Marines Catechism," which
has not, IL must be owned, very start
ling sound, with a view to another two
months bout. Yam Nibor is evidently
a most conscientious and interchangeable
officer, and If his songs produce as potent
an effect on board ships as they do in
the seaboard towns, where NJ. Lockroy
says they act like lighted fuse" he
will be well worth his official salary, what
ever IL may be.

LOADING DICE.

them on the counter said, Come seven, ="

requires a great deal of skill and painsr
You bore the eye and pour in your mer-
mercury it must be in the form of quick
silver. Mercury is probably the best,
though tiny lead shot will answer the
purpose of the ordinary dice You then
take a bit of ivory, and fitting it in the
plug countersink the eye. IL the loader
understands his business there is no pro-
fessional who can detect the fraud. Not
to make the weight suspicious you can
bore and leave hollow that side of the
dice for which it is loaded.
Sometimes there is big money in the
business. About a year ago when dice
were the rage with gentlemen of the green
cloth. a party. of local gamblers sent all
the way to Black HILL Colo, for an eX-
pert to come and do their little trick.
He came and in one night he and his
crowd done one game for 5000. The next
day he returned to Black Hill. That man
was once a noted gambler in this city.
1t was about this time that Chief Adkins,
after having made raid on some noto-
rious dive, placed on exhibition pair of
loaded dice cut in halves.
Speaking of the price of dice, S. or
Sc is letting them off light. In some cities,
where the dice are loaded in a professional
way, not to order, but for regular sale,
dice that without the lead are worth about
50 cents, with lead will cost you $1S But
after all that isn't much, for the man who
handles them right is soon in. "

REUBEN's TRAINED cooxs.
A Wisconsin Farmer Who Hunts
Chestnuts with a Very Queer Pack.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.

From the Chicago Tfmes-Heraid.
Reuben White has six trained cOOns that
about this time OF the year are worth a
good deal to him, for they help him gather
chestnuts, and the money that he gets
each year for chestnuts form the biggest
part of Reuben's income.

miles north of Ringoev, in Wisconsin, in
a little cabin that he has built out of
logs, stones. rails and fragments Of
boards
When Reuben sets out i'm the morning
on chestnut trip the eoons follow him
like a pack of dogs, and when a tree is
reached White sets basket, with low
sides, on the ground, and swapping his
fingers and waving his hands in different
directions, sets the coons TO work.
The animals spread out and range over
every inch OF the ground, paving over
the leaves and shifting like dogs on the
scent OF prey. When coon runs across
nut he snaps 1t up with his lips. and
slows II away inside his mouth like a
chipmunk. The animal has a capacity for
carrying about half pint Of chestnuts in
It's mouth. and when the limit Is reached

The hunt is kept up until the ground has
been thoroughly searched. In the mean
time White is pelting the tree with clubs
and gets off all the nuts he can in that
way. When clubbing fails to bring results
the coons are sent UP to shake the tree.
At an order to go up" the animals scurry
up the tree and traverse every limb, GO
ing 10 the tips OF the small branches and
shaking them vigorously.
The coons work with great expedition.
and when they have gone over the tree
there are not nuts enough left on 10 to nh
quart cup, provided the burs are well
opened. When the animals get back to
the ground they soon clear the ground
of the nuts.
Reuben says when the season for chest
nuts is good. in a day. with six coons, he
can gather four bushels OF chestnuts, and,
when the market is ordinarily good, that
means between $40 and $l2.
He calculates that each coon Is worth
TO him about $50 year He says the ami

never attempt to eat them when they are

GOOSEBERRY RASH.
1t Broke Out on the Skin of the
Champagne Drinxer.
From the London Graphic.

From the London Graphic.
At st. Georges hospital the inaugural
address was delivered by DR.. George d.
Pollock, who, after narrating the early
history of the institution, said it was re-
built in 1884, when sanitary science was
not so we'll understood as it was to-day.
The defects of the building as originally
constructed therefore, had been a source
of constant expense, and though every eff
fort had been made to secure sufficient
sanitation, there were still some draw
backs, which he hoped might be removed
by the rebuilding and considerable ex-
tension of the hospital in the direction of
Hyde park place. The lecturer proceeded
TO impress upon the students the import
ance of considering temper and tempera-
ment in dealing with patients, and strong
~ urged upon them the necessity of hav-
ing regard to idiosyncrasies.
A relative of his could not partake of
rice, one of the most innocent products of
the vegetable kingdom, without most
alarming symptoms. Some friends, wish
ing to test the matter, had some biscuits
prepared with but single grain of rice
IN each one. His relative partook of two
or three of the biscuits, and, becoming I'M
comfortable, left the table, declaring that
II he were not morally certain that he had
not partaken of rice he should say he had
been poisoned by it. He. had heard of a
case in which a man could not eat goose
berries without a certain rash manifesting
itself, who, at fashionable party, soon
after the champagne had been handed
round, pulled up his sleeves and showed a
friend that particular rash appearing.
What applied TO gooseberries applied to
drugs, and doctors should be careful of
prescribing those which the patient said
dld not agree with him. Lord Byron. in
one OF his conversations with Lady Bless
lhgton, remarked that medical men did
not attend sufficiently TO idiosyncrasies,
and thought that what cured one man
would cure another with a similar dis
ease. Lord Byron was an acute observer
ana judged rightly. although he expressed
himself in an exaggerated manner in re-
gard to idiosyncrasies.
