One Must Be the Superior,

In any living organization the supreme
power never dies. The king never dies,
and against the possibility of the presi-
dent dying we have made an elaborate
provision, which sufficiently speaks for
the danger 1T seeks to avoid. But in the
slow moving action of the huge organ
isms that we call nations and govern
ments there is time enough for kings
and presidents to sleep, to be off guard; ;
whereas, in the rapid movements Of
ships and the frequent sudden vicissi-
tude Of sea life the captain-the cap
tain's power-cannot sleep. It is plain
to say his person must. No more than
the proyerbial switch tender can he, as a
habit, be on duty 20 hours out Of the
"A. Hence arises the necessity for the
watch officer, who is in charge Of the
deck and vested while SO with all the
captains power for the conduct Of that
which goes Oh Oh deck Or pertains to the
direction. He holds this control not be-
cause he is the captain or lieutenant by
grade and title, but because of the Office
he is then filling. Is this considered an
extravaganza claim-unlimited?
And as it is on deck so it is in the en-
CINE room. The man in charge there,
himself in his sphere, exercises control
as absolute as the captain and the officer
Of the watch-like them absolute, like
them limited. But there are two on
duty at the same time-the deck officer
and the engine officer, the directive and
the motive forces. The unity of result
demands that they be not independent.
One must be the superior, and it must
be the one who has charge of the direct
i've force, as that which is the more es-
sential to the safety and government of
the vessel; not because the one man is
superior to the other man, but because
the one power is more important than
the other. Captain A. 7. Mahan, U.

THE WRONG MAN.
The yagrant Was Frank, but He Made
Poor Selection,

A dilapidated pattern of man stepped
up to citizen who was walking briskly
along the street the other evening and ac-
costed him.
"Cap'n, he said, 81 hain't got no hard
luck story. I'm about as lazy and oinery
as they make EN-, and I won't work as
long as can pick up liyin without it.
But Pm thirsty, and that's the truth. l
hain't had anything to drink for two
hours, and if you'll give me dime I'll go
and spend it for whisky. That's dead hon
est. I'm spoilin for drink O. liquor.
His voice had none of the whine of the
professional vagrant, but his sincerity
made no impression on his listener
"My friend" said the citizen slowly
and solemnly, II did not imagine such de-
pravity existed. If you had asked me for
something with which to buy food or nee
essary clothing should have taken pleas
ure in acceding to your request. II you
had asked for money enough to py for u
bath, Of which, he looked at him
from head to foot-''you appear to be in
some need, it would have afforded me sim
cere satisfaction to extend a helping hand
to you. But you have chosen to appeal to
total stranger for means wherewith to
minister to the qualification Of u most ig-
noble appetite. Do you know that the
curse of strong drink annually carries into
the grave 100000 human beings in this
country Do you know that the yearly
expenditure for alcoholic beverages
amounts to a sum equal to the nation Il
debt? Have you any idea of the effect Of
spirituous beverages on the delicate, sensi-
tive inner coating of the stomach? If you
have not, my friend, let me warn you by
all you hold sacred to give up your indul.
gence in this fearful terrible habit. Oh,

40 more. He hurried around the corner,
sat down on the curbstone, took off his
hat and famed himself.

France Compliments the English.

An Englishman, though generally
thick skinned, does not take in an in
different way the revilements he re-
ceives from major part of the French
press. An article in Macmillan's Maya
zine entitled ''French and English"
complains Ct the treatment:
In their loudly expressed loathing Of
the unknown country across the channel
they forget their legitimate revenge,
and they would pretend to fold the Ger
man to their breast, as they long since
welcomed his beer, If by the pretense
they could put another insult upon the
loathed island. For them the English
man is veritable bogy--a composite
monster, with the NAV Of the ostrich,
the beak of \ hawk, the claws Of tiger,
the manner Of clergyman and the
cunning Of an ape This terrific crea-
ture, says the French journalist, roams
up and down the world, impelled only
by the lust # plumber and Of blood, but
he is hapI.est when he is robbing the
honest Frenchman Of his due or cajoling
the mild hammered Belgian Con the

Above all, this shameless by brid is alert.
If the sun never sets OH his empire, his
eye never closes in sleep, and ever from
beneath his dropping lid he espies some
fresh occasion for ruin and outrage. To
his impious ingenuity no limit is set.
He is capable Of organizing the manu-
facture Of dynamite and of betraying
his own plot that France may tremble
for the safety Of her czar. Not long
since halfpenny print, in search Of a
headline, announced the murder of the
sultan, and, declared the Partisan jour.

by England, that monster personified,

THE BREATH OF HAMPSTEAD HEATH

The wind Of Hampstead heath still burns my
cheek
As, home returned, muse and see arise
Those rounded hills beneath the low, gray
Skies
With CLEANS OF haze Tapped cities far to seek.
These can picture, but how fifty speak
OF what might not be seen with searching
eyes
And all beyond the listening ear that lies,
Best known to bards and seers in times antique?
The winds that of the spirit rise and blow
KiLdlo my thought and shall for many day,
Recalling what blithe presence filed the place
or one who oftentimes passed up that way,
By garden close and lane where boughs bend
low
Until the breath of Hampstead touched his
face.

Back From The Grave

We can not come, but we can often stay
our progress thither. Disease, like every
thing else, must have a beginning. All
chronic maladies tend to shorten life, and
render it species of meityrdom while
they last. Malaria, kidney complaint,
chronic indigestion, rheumatism-all have
small beginnings, and may be stayed at
the outset with Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. This elegant tonic and Alternative is
adapted alike to the prevention of dis
orders of the system and to their re-
moval, and its early use can not be too
strongly advocated. To renew appetite
and insure tranquil rest, there is no surer
and pleasanter means than the Bitters.
The effects of overwork and exhaustion,
mental or physical, are counteracted by
it, and the busy merchant, the tired clerk
or operative, and the brain weary stu
dent, author or newspapermar, derive
from it present relief and future energy.
