The Ficure-Head of the Constitution.

The Figure-Head of the Constitution.
In 1884 Capt. Elliot, who bad been
second in command at Lake Erie under
Oliver Perry, excited violent polite
al and partisan demonstration by dec
Grating, at the Boston navy yard, the
bow of the Constitution with figure
head of President Jackson. One stormy
night his excellency was decapitated
as neatly and deftly as if the best tools
had with patient labor enlisted the
brightest sunshine in the desecration.
Marines and bluejackets were held un-
der dark suspicion, and the country
seethed in ferment Of keen conten-
ton. Rewards were offered, but in
vain, and for years the secret was we'll
kept. It is now said that a seaman
named Dewey was the culprit, not for
any political motive, but because of a
cherished antipathy to the full-length
image of a landlubber at the bow while
three fine old sailors were compelled,
with inadequate busts, to smile grim
ly at the stern. However, another
head was secured to the trunk with
copper bolts so tremendous that for
many years age could not wither it nor
custom stale the unshaken fortitude
with which Old Hickory defed the
breezes and the brine. = Harper's
Weekly.

One word to the pur,'uoc will often
turn the tide on the field Of battle. At
the affair of Friedland, General Rapp
became aware that one of his regiments
had been thrown into disorder by the
CALLING fire of the enemy's artillery.
He rushed at once into the midst of tho
fugitives. "Who are you?" he cried.
"The Seventy-first Regiment" an.
swered voice. What" exclaimed
the general. "The Seventy-frst Regi-
ment, and you give way single step?"
The suggestion of personal RESPONSE
bility and of past achievement was too
much. The ranks formed again on the
instant, they marched upon the guns
by which they had been assailed, and
in a. few minutes had possession of
them.

A gentleman who came up from Fargo
yesterday says that there appears to be
more politics than patriotism about the
actions of some of the gentlemen who de-
sire to serve their country-strictly as
commissioned officers and according
to his view the trouble With
Company E. at Langdon was purely a
political one, and arose from the desire
of one politician to eupplant another az
captain of the company. The result was
the company was not called out but was
deprived of its arms and equipment and
mustered out.

SPILLED HER LUNCH

Sorry Accident 90 . stylish Youno
Woman IN . street Gar.
The passengers on an early-morning
train connecting with this city were
treated to thoroughly enjoyable scene
the other morning. says the Brooklyn
Enterprise. A. one of the small sta-
tions . young lady boarded the train.
She was dressed rather stylishly. but
a veil covered . rather plain face. She
switched down the aisle like a queen.
She barely deigned to glance at the
other passengers In the car and when
she did her nose rose perceptibly at the
tip In manner that spread the impress
sion of contempt.
She carried Boston bag and the air
of millionaire. There was but one
seat vacant. This was beside good
looking, nicely dressed young man who
was reading a paper.
When she came to this seat she
Topped down heavily and tossed her
bag TO the seat between herself and the
vkoung man. Two seconds later the
young man leaped from his seat and
string of earnest words Of doubtful
origin fell from his lips like vipers from
the lips of the young woman in the
fxble.
The startled passengers looked to see
what had caused this outburst. They
saw--and then they laughed. The nice
looking Boston bag contained an ordi-
nary. everyday working girl lunch.
One of its features was jar of cof-
fee, which had broken in the descent
and flowed freely over the young mans
new fall coat and trousers
He went into the smoking car. swear
ing profusely. She murmured weak
apology and spent her time in hopping
up the seat.

Freeze the Flames of Candles and
Sell Them for Strawberries.
According TO the Alaska Miner, a
gentleman who has just escaped from
the Klondike region gives the following
account Of some things that happened
there: "A man told me. who had win.
tered up there seven years that it was So
cold In January That they froze the
flames of thsir candles and sold them
for strawberries. He said they kept
their fires over night by putting them
out in the air and letting them freeze,
and then thawed them out in the morn
ing. lie said he had seen four men die
of collie from eating whisky that was
frozen SO hard it wouldn't thaw inside
of them. He said the cows all gave ice
cream till they froze to death. He said
he knew a clerk in hotel on the Yukon
that got rich selling the diamonds he
wore, said diamonds being nothing on
earth but ice crystals that didn't thaw
till after the clerk had got out of the
country. He said he had seen a man
fall off the roof of barn and freeze SO
stiff before he lit that he broke in two
when he hit the ground. He said he had
seen smoke freeze in q. chimney till the
fire wouldn't draw, and he knew of one
case where the smoke froze after it
got hundred feet up and fell back on
the house, knocking hole in the roof
big enough to drive yoke of steers
through. He said the reason that
nights were so long in that country
was that the dark got frozen SO hard
the daylight couldn't thaw its way
through in less than six months"
Saying "HowdyY
"The salutation: How do you dor"
explained a state department linguist
to Washington Star reporter, sis gen.
eral throughout civilization, though
Americans boil it down more than any
other people in their one word
'howdy" The Frenchman, to express
the same idea, has to use How do yon
carry yourself?' The German says,
that is, he uses German words which
mean: How does It go with your
Likewise the Spanish Como esta
listed" which means How do you
standT The Chinaman, when he
wants to say How do you do?' uses
words which mean How do you run
along to-day| The Italian is almost
in the same fix, while the Arab uses
words which mean DO you stand or do
wel!?" The Portuguese says, in his
own words, Of course, 'How's your good
health now?' and the Indian goes
sep further and says: You look well,
do you feel SOP The Americans
'howdy' is as expressive as any Of the
others, as well as the briefest."
