4 Oh AIN { RESORT.
Represents Ship On Shore and Manned
by 8 Grew In Unifor a.

There Is q saloon located in the down
town district where you can splice the
main brace in the most correct nautical
language. Here the thirsty are served
by ship officer dressed in full naval
uniform. The bartender and his crew of
assistants appear in naval dress, which
includes swords and other side arms
and any amount Of gold lace The novel
crew comes on duty every evening The
daylight crew are CARRIED like the ordi-
nary beer singers Of that part Of
town. Inside this quaint saloon so close
" resembles ansold time packet ships
cabin that one can stretch his imagina-
ton to the verge of seasickness andOnot
half try. The entrance is from one Of
the city's busiest arteries, near Vesey
and Greenwich streets. Old brass nau-
teal lamps, that have seen lots of serv-
ice in all sorts of weather, hang from
the ceiling by chains. Several ancient
and dilapidated fgurehe which have
faced the storms Of many years at sea,
stare at the scenes Of revelry from cor
ners.
The walls are hung with relics Of
many voyages. Pieces Of rope, old ma
rine prints, portraits of famous skip
pers of the long ago, models carved by
sailor men, old flags, many Of which
hoated from historic battleships, and
other bric-a-brac of the brine, decorate
this nautical taproom, whose proprietor
is attired in the full uniform of a COM
modore Of the United States navy. Her
"crew' consists of representative Off
GERS usually found aboard man-of- war,
properly uniformed, as well as an occa-
sional sailor who appears in the triple
blue ''togs'' of Uncle Sam S men who
swing their hammocks in the forecastle.
These are no imitation sailors, for every
man Jack of them is veteran of the
ocean and rolls about as if on ship
board. The marine de]usion extends to
the old ships clock which hangs over
the bar. It reels off bells instead of
hours, for here the time is passed in
the choicest sea gibberish. If you should
ever steer your craft through the low
doorway of this nautical saloon, the
chances are that you'll clutch at some
thing before you are anyway near half
seas over.
Of course the old salts ashore here are
the chief patrons of this old refreshment
room. The custom of using only nau-
tical terms in carrying on the ordinary
business of the place fascinates Jack,
and he'll walk long way for the sake
of being served in his own language.
The commodore stands at one end Of the
bar and shouts his orders to his crew,
as if he were stationed Oh the bridge Of
some man -of-War. One hears such orders
as "Ayast there'' "Stand by to let go!"
"Hard lee" "Keep her off half
point !" and similar expressions that the
Sailor knows SO we'll. Drinks are ordered
in names which are absolutely unintel-
ligible to landlubbers. The evening is
never success unless great many of
these orders are first given and obeyed.
The favorite nautical term is, ''Stand by
to let go!' This is given when the
glasses have all been filled and are being
held in the hands of a crowd Of sailors.
After Jack feels mellow, then the yarn
spinning begins. York Letter in

Passion of WaahinRton'a Life.

Writing Of Washington great pas
sion, Sally Cary, in The Ladies Home
Journal, Mrs. Burton Harrison says
apparently sc. sriddled by the shafts
Of the little god of love had been
the heart Of Washington, the boy, that
it is hard to know how, after his signs
for the 'Lowland Beauty (Sally Cary,
and his repeated addresses to Miss Bet
sey Fauntelroy, and his later sensibility
to the charms Of the very agreeable
young LADY, afterward Mrs Amber,
the passion for woman who never
might be his could have dominated him
as it did for SO many years. But from
the evidence of his own letters the love
he had felt for the others was as water
unto wine beside the hopeless attach
ment for his beautiful neighbor, Sally
Cary, that during this period threatened
to assume sovereign controul' of his
ardent. nature. Fortunately, thanks to
time, to the lady's subsequent absence
in England with her husband, and,
above all, because it was made subject
to his own indomitable will, the feel
ing was subdued, and his marriage with
Mrs. Custis ended the episode happily.
'sThe proofs are the enduring init
macy and confidence that existed between
Washington, his wife and every mem,
Der of the Belvoir family during their
respective lives. They may be read by
any student of the writings Of Washing
ton and will carry conviction in each
line. -

A Students Joke.

"When I was at school atHarrow, he

"rrovatore." At the end of Campan.
ini's great aria in the third act there
WAS storm of applause. All the front
seats in the balcony were occupied by
students, and it was noticed that an
almost invisible wire was strung from
the middle point in the gallery horse
slice to the top of the prompter's box
at the middle. of the stage. What
caused most people to notice the wire
was the sudden appearance on it OF a
floral car of huge dimensions, over
which hovered on spirals several
stuffed doves. This car rode gradually
down along the wire until it was in
full view of everybody. Campanini's
face was weathed in smiles He bowed
now with his right, and again with his
left hand on his chest. As the car sp.
preached the prompter's box the sing.

the trolley. Then was the keen zest
of the occasion. Not only was there

fast; then that bearing-down feeling.
Her doctor says, "cheer up, you have
dyspepsia; you'll be all right soon."
But she doesn't get "all right" She
grows worse day by day, till all at once
she realizes that a distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor has made a mistake.
She has lost faith in him; hope van
fishes; then comes the brooding, NOR
bid, melancholy, everlasting BLUES.
Her doctor, if he knew, should have
told her and cured her, but he did not,
and she was allowed to suffer. By
chance she came across one Of Mrs.
Pinkham's books, and in it she found
her very symptoms described and an
explanation of what they meant. Then
she wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice, feeling that she was
telling her troubles to a woman.
Speedy relief followed, and vigorous
health returned.

pound instantly asserts its curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments

dreds of women, whose letters OF
gratitude are to be found on hle In

GRANT AND WASHINGTON.
TWO Wonderful Serials Which "The, Cel

Two Wonderful Serials which "Ine zen.
tury Magazine" Has Secured for 1897.
One OF the best friends that General Grant
,ver had was Horace Porter. Their first
meeting was at Chattanooga In the autnmn
pf 1868, and soon after General Chen Captatn)
Porter became member OF Grants stan and
Served with him constantly until Lees sur
render. When Grant became President
Horace Porter was made his private score
tary, aud until General Grant breathed his
last at Mt. McGregor the twomen were close
friends. Nor did General Porter's love TOR
bis chief cease with death, for to him Is due
the success Of the movement to raise the
half million Of dollars which the Grant
monument In Riverside Park will cost. The
Inauguration of the tomb will take place
next spring, on General Grants birthday,
and General Porter will be the orator OF the
occasion.
During these years Of intimacy with Grant
General Porter kept diary and in his mo.
ments of leisure he has arranged bis unique
stores Of anecdote and memoranda into
series of twelve articles entitled, "Campaign-
Ing with Grant," and The Century Magazine
has secured all rights in the series and will
print 1t during the coming year. Since the
famous Century War Senes," for which
General Grant himself wrote four articles

Another great serial In The Century, js q
novel Of the American Revolution, written by
the well-known Philadelphia physician, DR..
8. Weir Mitchell, whose literary reputation Is
as high as his standing III his own profess
sion. The story is supposed to be the auto
biography Of the hero, "Hugh Wynne. FREQ
Quaker" who becomes an officer on General
Washington's staff. Social life In the capi-
tai, Philadelphia. Is most interestingly de-
!picted, and the characters In the story in
'clude Washington. Franklin and Lafs yette.
The readers of "Hugh Wynne, Free Quak-
er," will obtain clearer idea Of the Revolu-
Itionary War than can be had from any other
single source. It is believed that DR..
Mitchell has written "the great American
novel" for which we have been waiting 80
many years.
These are only two Of the features OF The
Century for the coming year-the magazine
that leads the world Of periodical literature.
Very few of our readers will be without it In
1897. II costs $500 q year-not too high
price for what The Century gives; but many
people are arranging to club together In
! groups Of four, paying one dollar each, and
securing the reading Of the magazine one
week in the month. The publishers advise
the making up Of clubs early. Send S400 to
The Century Co., Union Square, New York,
with the name of the person to whom the
magazine Is to be sent. If you begin your
subscription with the December (Christmes)
number, the publishers will send you copy
| of the November number free, in which the
two great serials here described begin.

The Typical American Nose.

You rarely see q stub nose in the
United States. The American organ
is partly Roman and partly Red In
dian. The noble savage has q fine
aquiline nose, and you will see Ameri-
cans of no particular note with noses
that suggest the Last Of the Mohicans,
and also the bridge that was defended
by Horatius. Englishmen, on the
other hand, are quite insignificant
about the nose. As rule. it is no In
tdex' of character, and in later life it is
merely something to snore with. Here
and there you meet man whose nose
lis sign.post that points to glory, and
it is q National characteristic to use
the nose as musissl instrument in
manner which, in America, would be
considered ill.bred. But fear that
in the presence of the TRANSATLANTIC
proboscis we must hide our diminished
noses and get what comfort we may
out of the prominence of the Anglo
Saxon bald head. London Sketch.

SUGAR A.2LENTY.
Despite the Losses in Cuba the Worlds

Despite the Losses in Cuba the WORLDS
Product is Larger Than Year Ago.
This years raw sugar supply of the world
surpasses that OF 1895. despite the enormous
Cuban deficit, according to official statistics
received ut The Department of State from
Consul General Karel at St. Petersburg. The
official estimate of the worlds raw sugar
product for this year is as follows: Produc-
tion OF beet sugar, 1850, 600 tonsi produc-
tion Of cane sugar, 2,655, 900 tons; stock on
hand, 1,150, 600 tons; total, s,765,000 tons.
Last year the corresponding total was 8, ,290, :
6O9 tons. The estimated consumption for
the ensuing year Is placed at 1850, 600 tons.
The export from Cuba, the principal pro.
ducer OF cane sugar. is estimated at 1000
tons, and probably will not reach that
amount. In the season 1855 Cuba furn-
ished the worlds market with Ss2. 796 tons;
in 1S94.5 with 754, 400 tons, and in 1888 with
1,16O,1 172 tons. These figures show what an
influence the insurrec.ion in Cuba has on its
sugar industry.

FOUND A FORTUNE.
A Lump of AlnberSris Picked Up by Two
Fishermen Off California.

Two men, Abernathy and Glass, went out
into the ocean in boat from the mouth Of
the Santa Ynez River, near San Luis Obispo,
California, to spend few hours In fishing.
AS fishermen they did not prove success 60,
after dragging their line in vain, they turned
landward. As they approached land they
came upon large mass of substance
which was unknown to them. They became
possessed of curiosity to examine the find
and accordingly steered 1t in and beached
it. Old-timers informel the men that they
had found fortune and pronounced the
strange substance to be ambergris. The
substance is highly valued, the value per
ounce being locally estimated at from S15
to 1922 The dump found by Alternately
and Glass weighs just $50 pounds and, flr-
ured from valuation of 815 per ounce. aI-
erdupois weight, would be worth $4,000.
