AN UNFINISHED BRACELET.
Why Commodore Tyrrell Wears Pecul-
lar India Ink Decoration.

Old Commodore Tyrrell was sitting with
some friends one day last summer when
the heat impelled him to roll up his shirt
sleeves. AS he did so the eye of a reporter
who was sitting by him fell upon an india
ink decoration upon his right wrist.
"Let me see that, commodore, " he said
The old sea dog extended his right arm
across the table for inspection. The deco
ration was shield and an eagle, and one
side was something that looked like ar
unfinished wreath.
"Why didn't the artist finish it," the
commodore was asked.
"Ah, that's story of the awfulness of
war, my boy, " said he as he grew thought
full and stopped the joking that he had
been indulging in. at was when was d
STRIPPING of boy in the navy that that
was done. Like all boys, thought l was
not a full fiedged tar until L had myself
tattoocd. and one of my mates started to
make bracelet around my wrist. That
was the day before the battle of Mobile
Bay. He did as much as you see there and
was going to finish it next day. Next day
we went into action, and l thought hell
had broke loose. Well, sir the first shot
that came across our deck struck my mate
right amidships, and the poor fellow never
knew what finished him.
~ never would let anybody else finish
it, but maybe when l go to Davy Jones
locker l II meet Dick and get him to finish
that bracelet
Then tho commodore ordered grog for
all hands to conceal his emotion. .-Cincin

The Fickle Partisan Public.

The Partisan world was in fact very
tickle. Society had been much exercised
over the execution of Enghien; rumors of
coming war furnished interesting topics
of conversation. The giddy majority had
few passing emotions, gossipcd about
one theme and the other alternately and
then went on with its amusements. The
grave men who sincerely desired their
country's welfare were profoundly moved
and whispered serious forebodings to each
other. The world at large was sensitive to
both currents OF thought, but in the main
the masses considered the coming corona
tion ceremonies, the splcndors of empire,
and the prospects for unboundcd glory
opened by Napoleon's unhampercd CON
troll vastly more entertaining as the sub
iect of speculation than anything else.
They were not deceived in some portions
OF their dreams; the time Of imperial
grandeur was at hand, the influence of
French civilization was marching over Eu-
rope, the dazzling vision of France as SUI
preme in prestige and renown was OPEN
ing on their view.-'Life of Napoleon. .

Where Was the Garden of Eden?

Arguments that have seemed sound to
their scientific projectors have been ad-
vanced to prove that the human race start
ed on the brink of the EuphrateS, in the
heart of central Asia, in Lemuria, a con-
tinent supposed to be at present at the bot
tom of the northern part of the Indian
ocean; in Greenland, in central Africa,
in Central America, in Ceylon and in the
tabled continent of Atlantis, which is con-
jectured TO have emerged from the Allan
tic on the line of the Canary islands and
the Azores, and from which, if it even
existed, both the eastern and the western
hemispheres might have drawn their pop
ulation. Certainly here is choice enough,
writes Edward S. Martin in The Ladies'
Home journal.
The scientific searcher after paradise is
embarrassed by the richness of his field
and hesitates to leave the Euphrates' bank
and become wanderer over all the earth.
But at least he may stick to Asia if he
will One of the most favored "cradles of
the human race is the vast plateau OF
Pamir, north of the Himalayas in central
Asia. Anthropologists find deep signifi-
canoe in the fact that in that region the
fundamental types of all the races of man
kind are represented. In the plateau OF
Pamir or within easy distance of it are
yellow people, black people and whites,
and in the same region philologists find
the three fundamental forms of the human
language.

TYRANTS IN AMERICA.
How Max ORell Views Our Public Serv-
ants and Officials.

Max o. Rell, writing in The North Amer
lean Review, tells of the many petty ty-
rants that rule us in America, and reit-
crates that the patience of the American
public is simply angelic, nothing short of
that" Apropos of our servants and Off
cials he says:
"Tho Americans, like the French. have
no initiative and lack public spirit. The
English are the only people who are served
by their servants, let the servants be the
ministers of the crown, the directors of
public companies or mere railway porters
To every one to whom John Bull pays II
salary he says, Please TO remember that
you are the servant Of the public When
the English appoint a new official, high or
low, it is new servant that they add to
their household When the French and
the Americans appoint new official. it is
new master that they give to themselves
to snub them and to bully them For ex
ample, when the English railway COM
panies started running sleeping cars. the
public said to them: We do not wish to
be herdcd up together like hop pickcrs
You will please have the cars divided a.
night into two parts by curtain so that
our ladies' may be spared the annoyance OF
having to share II section with a man.
Il do not know single American lady
who has nottold me of that grievance, and
how on that account she dreaded travelling
alone. Yet i am not aware that the Amer
lean public has ever told the officials of
any railway company in this country, We
pay you, and you shall, please give such
accommodations as will secure the comfort
OF our women On one occasion. in n

Kirkland, commanding the European
naval station, was detached, today, on ac-
count of dissatisfaction with him arising
from number of causes. Commodore
Thomas O. Selfridge, Jr, was detailed to
succeed him.
Admiral Kirkland's troubles arose from
congratulating President Faure of
France, on his election, which Secretary
Herbert thought improper and unneces-
sary; from making uncomplimentary re-
marks about American missionaries in
Syria and Armenia; from an alleged in
suit to a naval chaplain at the kiel festivi

of all the deaths that occur in the world are
caused by consumption. And consumption
can be cured. Doctors used to say that it
WAS incurable, but the doctors were merely
mistaken. 1t would be strange if medical
science did not make some progress. Many
things were once considered impossible.
The ocean steamer, the locomotive, the
telegraph and telephone, the phonograph,
the electric hght-all these were once i'm
possible, and once twas impossible to cure
consumption. That was before the time
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
Taken according to directions, this standard
remedy will cure oS per cent of all cases of
consumption. Consumption is a disease of
the blood. It used to be considered a dis
ease by itself 1t is not. 1t is caused and
fostered by impurity III the blood Purify
the blood and restore the healthy action to
the various organs of the body and con-
sumption will be cured. 1t is by weakness
and loss of vitality i'll tie blood. 1t is cured
by purity and richness of the blood-surely,
certainly cured. Those who have consump-
ton or any lingering bronchial, throat or
lung disease, and those who are on the road
to them. have a positive remedy at hand.
ANY condition of the body that indicates
weakness any indication of irnpurity in the
blood, should be attended to at once. Loss
of appetite, loss of flesh, loss of vitality,
nervousness, weakness and unnatural wear
incss, are indications that the body is run
ring down. Dr. Pisrce's Golden Medical
Discovery makes the appetite good, the di-
gestiou strong 1t builds up solid, healthy
flesh and vigorous strength. Thousands of
people have testified that it has really saved
their lives. Some of these testimonials,
together with hundreds of things that ev-
erybody ought to know about health and
