Let one Englishman, at least, record
his honest opinion that an educated
American is the most courteous person
he has met in his travels, writes Ian
Maclaren. One may have a pardona-
BILE pride in the good form of an Eng
lish gentleman-an instructive sense
of what is becoming-and yet desire
the cordially which is very taking in
an American; one may admit that in
what may be called the decorated style
of manners Frenchman is past
master, and still miss that note of sim
plieity which is found in an American.
There is, indeed, as appears to a dull
male person, a certain analogy be-
tween the superiority of an American
man in manners and an American wo-
man in dress, for she has added to the
severe good taste of an Englishwoman
certain grace, and redeemed the
cleverness of the Parisian from the
suspicion of trickery. Blood and
climate have united to pronounce this
felicitous result, where the gravity
and dignity of the Anglo-Saxon have
been relieved by certain brightness
of spirit and lightness of touch which
would be out of place, and might be
even offensive, III rain and fog.

Mr. William II. Dali, of the Smith
sonian Institution, says, in Science,
that during the early days of the
whale fishery several well-attested in
stances occurred of whales struck in
one ocean, as the Atlantic, being
afterward killed in the North Pacific,
and vice versa" This would indicate
that some whales are great travellers,
for to get from the Atlantic to the
North Pacific they would have to go
many thousands of miles, passing
either around Cape Horn, or around
the northern end of North America
and through Bering Strait.

A ring recently exhibited at Ant
werp, Belgium, was the admiration of
diamond cutters and merchants be-
cause it was the first successful at
tempt to cut ring out of single
stone. There are a great many diff
culties in this method of cutting dia-
monds, as the stones have a certain
cleavage and particular veins, all of
which have to be carefully studied in
order to prevent splitting just as sue
cess seems within reach.
After several unsuccessful attempts
and three years labor the feat has been
accomplished by the patience and skill
of one of the best-known lapidaries of
Antwerp. The ring is about six
eights of an inch in diameter. In the
Marlborough cabinet there is a ring
cut out of one entire and perfect sap

UNDER CARS IN A HAMMOCK.
0ueer Device Constructed by Michi-
gan Hobo.

A queer character, "Jack the ham,
mock rider, who lives by his wits,' is
attracting the attention of people
throughout the State of Michigan.
Jacks" hammock Is of his own con-
struction and bears the mark of con-
siderable ingenuity. 1t is designed to
fasten under a sleeping Car to aid
Jack" in beating" the railroad The
hammock is made of heavy canvas,
quilted on the inside and fastened to a
stout stick at each end. Two large iron
hooks project from the wooden rods
and by these he attaches his novel rest
ing place to the two iron bars which
run the length of each side of the car.
A cover Is sewed to one side and al
most covers the ends, the sewed edge
being placed toward the engine, so that
the wind pressure will keep out the
dust as the car speeds along.
But the interest in Jack" is not only
due to his peculiar mode of travel, but
also to the fact that his life i'll fits a
man of his characteristics. During the
recent campaign he attracted consid-
cradle attention as stump speaker,
and by his ready wit he has gained a
friend in almost every town he has WIS.,
tied. Added to his natural propensi-
ties for entertaining is his wide expe-
Tience and no inconsiderable educa-
ton, which readily command the atten-
ton of any who chance to speak to
him. Neither working nor begging, he
procures his meals and shelter by dint
of clever invention and repartee. He
has taste for music. and curious as it
may seem, is fond of playing hymns on
the piano, during which performance

THE DRUM ON sHlPBoARp,
1t Plays an Important Part in the Daily
Routine of Duty.

Routine of Duty.
'"The Last of the Drums" is the
title of an article written by Lieuten-
ant Con Marrast Perkins for st. Nicho-
las. Lieutenant Perkins says:
In the navy as well as in the army
the drum is hallowed and glorifed by
traditions of victory; and from the day
Paul Jones ran up the first flag of our
country, with its liberty tree and its
motto, San Appeal to Heaven" down
to the present, a man-of-war's drum
mer, though the smallest mite on board,
has always played an important part
in the daily routine of our Nation s
floating bulwarks.
From the rolling of ''gun bright
work" in the morning, and the long
drawn, solemn beat to quarters, to
the last incident of the day taps, I"
or ''extinguish lights" drum re-
tains its place here; and the little
marine drummer, with his baby face
and red coat, is the last to carry his
drum proudly at the head of marching
men, and to blend its martial rattle
with the blare of the trumpet, which
has usurped the place of the fife.
These boys are enlisted at Washing
ton, and are taught in the music
school at marine headquarters, after
which they are drafted to the several
marine stations at navy yards, or dis
tributed to vessels in commission all
over the world.
They are enlisted at from fourteen
to sixteen years of age, and are bound
over to serve in the Marine Corps un-
til twenty-one, when they are honor
ably discharged.
While serving on men-of-war, they
swing in hammocks and mess with the
Marine Guard, end in all respects are
treated as if they are men; in action
they serve at the great guns as powder
boys powder monkeys" as they are
sometimes called. The duty of pow
der boy is to pass charges from the
magazine to the battery.
Drunmers are distinguished from
the private soldiers of the Marine
Guard in full-dress uniform by o scar
let tunic with white facing and shoul-
der knots-the only dress in our SER
vice like the traditional red coat of
Tommy Atkins" the British soldier,
which has been worn by the army for
nearly three hundred years. As
joke upon this distinctively un-Ameri-
can uniform, it is related that when the
British were seen approaching Blad-
ensburg, during the War of 1912, q
wag in the American ranks shouted,
"Great Scott! boys, here comes the
music. 1 guess 1 won't wait for the
armyI'
