ARMY AND NAVY.


The most important legislation decided upon
by the subcommittee which is engaged in
drawing the Naval appropriation bill is an in
crease Of the Navy by the addition Of 9 900 en-.
listed men. This increase recommended
by Secretary Herbert in his annual report,
wherein he explained the difficulty of properly
manning the ships with the present force of
scamen of the rank and file. No doubt is
pressed that the full committee will sanction
this item. and that it will meet the approval of
the House.
Six Army officers have declined brevet ranks
conferred upon them during the year 1894 for
gaIlantry III Indian engagements. The list of
brevets conferred is materially heightened by
conference of these honorary titles. The War
Department had considerable difficulty in
selecting officers who were entitled to the dis
tinction, and largo amount OF correspondence
was cntailed between the Department and offi-
GERS 1t is unusual to have an officer decline
brevet commission, which carries nothing
with ii but honor of being mentioned for gal
lantry and courage. 1t was with SURPRISE
therefore, that six officers commissions were
found returned to the War Department. The
objection in five instances was that the addi-
tional brevet rank conferred was not based on
the actual rank held by the officers at the time
Of the nomination. The brevets given were
based on the rank held ut the time of the event,
so Wat CAPTAINS found themselves with the
brevets Of First Lieutenant and Captain. in
stead of being brevetted Major and Leutcnant-
Colonel.

A very pretty evening or afternoon frock
can be made by copying the one shown in the
cut. Made up in black silk. or in gray with black
chiffon ruffles or lace and jeited bands for the
girdle-iike arrangement across the fulled vest,
it is suitable for a quiet frock for any elderly
woman. Made up in gray crepon, with gray or
pale,bu chiffon and silver or steel passmen-
tric, it is dainty dinner-gown for a young
woman. The full vest of chiffon can be made
higher to be worn with a standing collar.
1t is held down at the waist by five narrow
up-and- down bands of jet or passmentris
forming q sort of corselet.
There is some talk that sleeves will not be-
made any larger. as tho Princess of Wales and
the Duchess of York have both decided against
the immense sleeves, aud are refusing to wear
them.
Old coins for jeweiry and personal adornment
have regular and unvarying sale. There is
always more demand for them than there is
supply, and the prices range from 50 to $3.50.
The Egyptian, Syrian, and Greek gold coins of
the period before Christ from 800 to 100 are
the most valuable. Gold coins OF the Roman
Empire since the birth of Christ are worth
$40 or more.

Jewish Immunity From Disease.

Out of total population in New
York of 1891, 900, 1916 per cent, or
1888, 900, live in 80, 1873 tenement
houses. Apartment houses of the better
class are not included among tenement
houses. 1t is a somewhat remarkable
fact that the lowest death rate in the
city is in one of the most thickly set
tied tenement house districts, occupi
by some of the poorest people, in
wards where the Jewish population
the densest. The death rate among tn
crowded Jews was in 1891 only Is. 70 20
each 900, and in 1898 only H. IA. The
comparatively oleanly habits of thes,
Jews, their observance of the Mosaic
law about food and their abstinence from
alcoholic liquors are given as explana-
tions Of their low death rate. In the
Italian districts the death rate is double
what it is among the Jews and the pop
ulation not so dense, and even in the
wards occupied by wealthy people the
death rate is greater than among the
Jews The Fourth, Fourteenth and
Eighth are the Italian wards, and the
death rate in 1898 was 1878, 30. 10

EARLY LEE OF PAUL JONES.
BE Came to America TO Inherit an Estate
Il. -I.sn

Ee Came to America to Inherit an Estate
In Virginia.
There is no record of his having at
tended any school except that of the
parish of Kirkbean, but he developed
truly Scotch passion for reading and
writing He went to sea when IL years
old and made two voyages during his
minority in a SLAYER, but hating the
traffic he left it and the ship too. At 20
he was in command of a fine brigantine.
About this time occurred what he calls,
in letter to Robert Morris, "a great
misfortune" adding, 81 am under no
concern whatever that this or any other
circumstance of my past life will sink
me in your opinion. % The trouble was
a threatened criminal prosecution for
having had carpenter logged, which
was the usual mode Of punishment in
those days. The matter was investigat-
ed, and Paul Jones was fully acquitted,
1t is worthy of remark that the mag
istrate who inquired into that matter
notes that Paul Jones expressed great
sorrow for having had the man fiogged,
disproved. He returned to Scotland once
after this, and although affectionately
received by his own family his friends
and neighbors seem to have treated him
coldly. The smart from this injustice
turned the Indifference he felt for his
native land into hatred, and ever after
he considered himself quite free from
any responsibility for having been born
and having spent the first 10 years of
his life in SO inhospitable country.
In his twenty-seventh year a great
and fortunate change occurred to him.
His brother William, who had emigrat-
ed to Virginia and died there, left him
an estate. There is no doubt that Paul
Jones was often afterward in want of
ready money, but it must be remem-
bered that everybody was in want Of
ready money in the eighteenth century.
Certain it is, from his papers preserved
at Washington, that he might be consid-
cred at the beginning of the war man
of independent fortune.
The two years of his life in Virginia |
are obscure, as might be expected from |
a man living the life OF O provincial |
country gentleman, which the records
concerning him prove At the outbreak
of war with the mother country Paul |
Jones hastened to Philadelphia, and |
through Mr.. Joseph Hewes, member
of congress from North Carolina, got |
his commission as senior first lieutenant |
in the infant navy Of the colonies 1t |
was then he made the acquaintance of

sionate gratitude and affection, and

will, Mr.. Bewes being then dead

Manuscripts of the New and the Old Tes.
taments Often Rewritten.

Manuscripts of the New and the Old Tes
taments Often Rewritten.
The New Testament, as we know it,
comes down to Us after having been kept
for hundreds of years in manuscript form
by the priests, fathers of the church, Z"
and others. The writings have been
copied and recopied probably scores Of
times, at least as often as occasion re-
quired, being always renewed before
becoming unintelligible by use and
wear. The two oldest of these manu-
scripts now known are the Codex Semi
aticus and the Codex Vaticanus, each
of which dates from the fourth century,
A. d. The languages originally used in
this work were Hebrew and Greek, but
after the year 800 A. D. the manu-
scripts were all, OR nearly all, written
in Latin. The last mentioned language
was that adopted by the Roman church
in their TRANSACTIONS and was known as
the 'Vulgate, " because commonly used
in the churches. As far back as the sew.
enth century portions of the Vulgate
were translated into old English, and it
was also the version used by Wickliffe
(Wyolif), Purvey and their predecessors
and was the first book printed from
movable type, 1865.
Tyndale s version was from German
translation of the original Greek, made
by Martin Luther.
The authorized version" or King
James translation, was made by AZ OF
the most eminent British scholars and
was finished in the year 1911. The
Latin Vulgate was the main version
used by them; but, so far as they were
accessible, other manuscripts, both in
the Greek and Hebrew, were consulted
and compared.
The manuscripts of the Old Tesla
ment have had similar experiences, hav-
ing been written and rewritten thou
sands of times since the first collection
was put in writing by the priests and
leaders Of the Israelites, about the year
1900 B. G. All of the older copies have,
of course, been worn out Or lost ever
since long before the birth of Christ.
