eSting Facts.
Washington, Mar. 1.-The prospect of
strained relations between the United
States and Spain over the disposition in
this country TO sympathize with ths
Cuban insurgents, gives an interest to
the relative strength Of the navies Of the
two countries, in case they should be led
into armed conflict.
There is feeling in some quarters
that Spain may drift into a contest with
the United States without great reluc-
lance, even though she anticipate defeat,
because the loss Of Cuba under such cir
cuInstances would be less humiliating
than its loss through purely domestic
revolt.
Commodore Philip Hichborn, the chief
constructor of tke navy, gave some inter-
est1ng facts to q correspondents yesterday
regarding the relative strength of the
two navies, although he refused to ex-
press any opinion as to the prospect of
war or the merits of the situation in
Cuba. He furnished the following list of
ships of war which the Unitd States will
have in commission by July 1, with their
tonnape.

Bedrock Terrapin Facts.

81 have controlled the entire supply
Of Chesapeake bay diamond back terra
pin for good many years." said Mr..
A. T. Lavallette of Crisfield, Md. "In
times gone by terrapin Were so plentiful
that they were fed TO the negro slaves,
being about the cheapest kind Of food ut
that period. Some of the masters would
overfeed their slaves to such an extent
that they were compelled to sign arti-
Giles of agreement that terrapin should
not be fed out once or twice per week.
If anybody doubts this, there are old
documents still ON file at some of the
county seats of the eastern shore of
Maryland that will confirm the truth
of what say.
"The price for terrapin increased
with the demand up to 1898, the sup.
ply during that time being on the de-
crease. Full counts'.that is, specimens
measuring seven inches and over and
weighing from three to six pounds
were worth then from $50 to $3.50 per
dozen, six inch counts weighing from
~ to ga pounds bringing from $50 to
500 q dozen. The smaller sizes, con-
tanning few eggs, are never in great de-
mand. During single season have
sold Delmonico's $l5, 900 worth of ter
rapin. I have also supplied John f..
Chamberlin for years, and he can come
nearer telling perfect terrapin by its
outward appearance than any other
man in this country.
"Since 1898 the price has decreased,
while the supply has not increased.
This is owing to the practice of small
firms in shipping common southern,
North Carolina and Texas terrapin and
trying to palm them off ON buyers as
the genuine Chesapeake article. The
trick, however, rarely succeeds.
"a large eight inch teTapin is said
by scientists to be 60 to 70 years old.
In not one case in a thousand do the
males measure over five inches or weigh
over one pound. Washington Post

duel in a pitch dark room. Not wishing
to kill his man, the Englishman fired
up the chimney when the word was
given, and, TO his surprise. brought
down the Frenchman, who had hidden
there. When this story is told in France,
it is always the Englishman who is up
the chimney.
Fighting Fitzgerald was successful in
Is duels before it was discovered that
he always wore q coat of mail. For
years his fame in society had rested on
his invariable success as a duelist, and
this discovery was his undoing. A GER

when his sword snapped ON a heart

He was afterward hanged in Ireland for

The most tragic duel in England was

The Greatest Charm of Granada.

But when all is said, in the end as in

Granada was in the grove. with its cool

light when all the land beyond lay grill
ing in the sun. The chant of locusts was
loud in the gardens Of the Alhambra,
loud the water carriers ceaseless cry of
"Agual aqua frescap White hot, the
sky met the now snowless heights of the
Sierra Nevada; as from an oven came
the air that blew over the vega, burned

man there was always rest from blind
ing light and pitiless heat.

Some InterestIrr Notes About Dueis and
the Practice Of Dueiing.
Even in Germany the popularity OF
the duel is open TO some doubt. Its ex-
istence is due not so much to a desire
for a combat as of fear what people will
saw if there is no fight. There have been
noted duelsts who were always ready
for fray, and when they entered a
drawing room women quailed and hoped
IL would not be their husbands or lovers
who would be so unlucky as to excite
the ire of the men of blood.
Duripy the occupation of Paris by the
allies there were duels every day, the
Frenchmen usually being the challen-
gers and the victors, as they were very
skillful with the small sword. Some
times. however, they made mistake,
as when they jeered at an English officer
over losing his leg at Waterloo. The
ieerer discovered that the loss OF his leg
did not interfere in the least with the
Englishman's aim.
There have been exceptions to the
mania for fighting at any price An
English captain, challenged by a
Frencbman. had the choice of weapons
and chose pistols. The Frenchman de-
clared he would fight with nothing but
the sword, and interested friends finally
compromised ON lanccs, ON horseback
The combat naturally attracted much
attention. A great crowd witnessed the
duel One man received three ugly
prods, but finally killed his antagonist.

WIND AND SEA.

The sea r. n iovial comrade
He laughs wherever he goes;
His merrimcnt shines in the dimpling lines
That wrinkle his hale repose:
He lays himself down at the feet Of the sun
And shakes all over with Rlee.
And the broad backed pillows fall faint on
the shore
In the mirth Of the mighty seal
But the wind Is sad and restless
And cursed with an inward pain.
You may bark at Will, by valley or hill.
But you hear him still complain.
He walls on the barren mountains
And shrieks ON the wintry sea;
He sobs in the cedar and means in the pine
And shudders all over the aspen tree.
Welcome arc both ths,v voices.
And know not which is best
The laughter thai slips from oceans lips
Or the comfortlvss winds unrest.
There's pang In all rejoicing.
A Joy I'm the heart Of pain,
And the y nd that saddens. the sea that glad
dor,
Are sin ing the selfsame strain.
