NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
Must of Necessity BE Rigorous and
Strictly Enforced.


Strictly Enforced.
An American admiral tells story of
old-fashioned discipline in the navy.
One day an officer on q ship in service
in foreign waters gave an order to one
of the enlisted men. The sailor put
his arms behind his back and declined
to obey the command. He was report.
ed 10 the commander without delay for
insubordination.
The commander had been warned by
the surly conduct of other sailors that
the morale of the crew was not what 1t
ought to be. He resolved to make an
example of the mans lisobedience, and
ordered him to be confined below with
out food until he was ready to obey the
command.
Forty-eight hours passed without
signs of surrender. but on the third
day, darkness, Imprisonment and hun.
gee were Irresistible. The mutineer
begged for mercy.
The crew were mustered on deck and
the insubordinate sailor was brought
up from the hold with gaunt face and
bent figure. The captain called upon
the officer whose command had not
been obeyed. to repeat the order in the
presence Of the crew. This was done,
ami after long pause the sailor with
hangdog look sulkily obeyed.
"Repeat the order" said the captain.
sternly, to the officer. "lt must be
0beyed chcerfully."
The order was renewed and the mu.
tineer, completely conquered. dashed
of to execute it.
THAT will do" said the captain.
"Now give him food. but bread and
water only for twcnty-four hours"
The sailor was taken below under
guard and allowed full rations of bread
and water. The next day he was put
on unrestricted diet. and no further
notice was taken of his Offense until the
end of week. when his health Nas
completely restored. Then the ships
crew wac again mustered OH deck. The
sailors INSTRUMENTATION was briefly de-
sc,ihed, and he was dismissed from the
ship in disgrace.
rigorous a!Sclpllne, did YOU say"
exclaimed The admiral to the listener,
who had commented upon his story.
There ought to be mora of it in the
An "rican navy to-day. The service is
now conducted on sentimental princi-
pics, and men are forgetting how to
obey"
The criticism may have been too
harsh, but the declaration is not infre.
quently made that discipline is too lax
in the Z. $. navy. While the White
Squadron was recently anchored at
Southampton. previous to the INiel cele-
bra!ion, a return was made one day OF
the number of men absent without
lea0c from the four ships. 1t was sixty
out of an aggregate force of fifteen hum

Facts About Ears.

1t is only among the more refined
and civilized peoples that small ears
upon women are considered pretty and
a mark of aristocratic distinction. The
Chinese. who admire little eyes and
ing ears as marks of beauty; and cer-
tain other peoples bore their cars and
enlarge the holes until they can insert
quite nosegay in them, and are just
ly proud of this decoration as the young
woman of n different civilization drags
down n pretty ear into unnatural pro.
portions with heavy Jewels.
Earrings are sometimes very injur-
GUS to the health, and a woman should
never assume the risk of boring the
ears; nor can one be too careful in re-
gard to wearing earrings thar n dis
eased person has worn. a case is on
record in Vienna of a young girl who
wore earrings given her by friend
who had died of consumption. She
soon contracted the same disease.
which developed in manner identi.
cal with the case of her friend.
Ears. by the way. are as eloquent rs
the tongue in showing disease. A very
white transparent car shows IL delicate
constitution. with Il tendency to tuber-
culosis. Idiots have large. f'abby ears.
as travellers through certain parts of
Switzerland. where such imbeciles
abound, cannot have failed to notice.
Ears VARY greatly in regard. to sen
sitiveness. some being vastly more ner-
vous than others. Street noises are
the most trying for the sensitive ear to
bear, while the sounds of nature hard
ly ever jar, the most fastidious. well
coming the sounds of wind in the tree
tops the murnur of brooks, the songs
OF birds and even the roar of falling
water.-Philadelphia Ledger.
