WORN BY NAVY OFFICERS.

When Commodore Dewey last winter
Was promoted from the rank Of captain
he had to visit the tailor for clothes
suitable to his new rank and was
Obliged to buy full-dress coat and
a cap. The latter cost SIS.
During the terrible storm at Samoa
some years ago, when the naval Off
GERS lost their belongings, bill was
introduced to reimburse them, and it.
was figured a lieutenant's wearing ap-
parel was worth $1,365, an ensigns
$1,000, and a rear admiral's $4,000. An
admirals full-dress outfit, including the
hat, is worth $765. The epaulets alone
cost $165.
During the engagement at Manila
Commodore Dewey, as he stood on the
bridge directing his forces, wore what
is called the service coat, Of dark blue
serge, shaped to the figure, with a slit
on each hip extending on the right side
as high as the sword belt. Plain gutta
percha buttons and a high collar fin
ished the coat. His trousers had strip
Of gold lace down their outer seams
one inch wide. The visor Of his cap
was trimmed with oak leaves.
1t takes most of a young naval Off
GERS salary to keep his wardrobe in
condition to suit his superiors. The
first thing a naval cadet is taught is
how to keep his uniforms in condition.
He has a number of them for different
occasions, but the regulations are most

GREAT STRAIN ON ATHLETES.
Thew Lose Pounds of Flesh During
Contest.

Few persons realize the great strain
that an athlete undergoes. A football
player will lose during. a game from
three to six pounds; a wrestler has
been known to lose during a hard
match twelve pounds. An exceptional
case was when Yousouf wrestled Whit
man, of Cincinnati. The Turk
wrestled for three hours and lost tWen-
ty pounds. :o4
completed some tests that furnish in
teresting figures. In a series OF track
contests he weighed the contestants
before and after the games.
He found that worry and excite
ment caused more loss than the strain
Of the contest. The novice lost more
than the veteran.
The conclusions based on the data
collected show that the most expensive
event physically in track events is the
mile run, and next the mile walk.
The average loss Of weight due to
class drill is one-half pound. the
loss of weight in endurance work" Is
from three-quarters to one pound.

Aericulture in the Philippines.

The methods and implements Of the
agriculture of the Philippines seem to
be borrowed from the Chinese. The
lower lands along the streams are
carefully leveled and fitted with bikes
and bitches for irrigation, so that they
may be planted with rice. A one
handled wooden pillow is used in turn
ing the soil. The pillow beasts are
carabaos, bufaloes, single one of
which is hitched to the pillow by a
rude collar and traces. The rice is
planted in hills by hand. 1t is
thrashed by being tramped out with
the bare feet. It is stored in the hull,
and usually pounded out in rude NOR
tars by the women and boys as it is
needed for use, the pounded rice and
hulls being separated by being thrown
into the air upon broad trays of woven
rattan.
Rude mills turned by bufaloes are
used in some places for hulling rice
for market. In addition to this low
land rice, much timber is being con-
tinually cut off and mountain rice
planted. This method has been car
ried on so continuously in manyplaces
that the, coarse grass has taken the
place of the timber, and open plains
or campos have been formed. This
grass, cogon, is too thick and strong
to be turned by the rude plows in use,
and immense portions Of the country
have thus become useless except fol-
pasture. Scientific American

If the farmers of Nebraska continue
their reduction of mortgages at the
rate which they progressed in 1897,
there will be nothing left for Bryan and
his associates to use as a foundation
for their silver theory in 1900. The
mortgages released in the State in
1897 amounted to SD, 767 ,ooo.-Yreka

The reason of the farmers prosper
lty was the temporary rise in wheat
caused by the famine in India. Hav-
ing had a taste of prosperity by a
temporary rise in wheat they will
naturally vote for free silver in order
to make the prosperity permanent.

A TEMPERANCE LESSON.

a few good temperance lessons cannot
come from. The prize ring furnishes
many such lessons and the quick
defeat of Peter Jackson is a temper
ance sermon preached to the whole
country.
Jackson vas given by nature one OF
the finest physiques ever vouchsated
to man. He had coupled with this
a kindly heart, a modest bearing and
fairness not possessed by other men OF
his calling.
He overrated his physical endur
ance and tell into Incorporate habits
that Slapped his splendid constitution
and made him an easy mark for a
young man who has taken care OF
himself.
His defeat is a big temperance les
son and will carry more weight than
ten thousand temperance pamphlets.

ONE GOOD APPOINTMENT.

The demand by this paper that the
management of the insane asylum by
incompetent and unfit men be ended,
has brought forth fruit. Yesterday John
II. Smith resigned as a director of the
North Carolina Insane Asylum and DIR.
James Mckee was appointed. If this
appointment gives DR. Mckee enough
power to work reforms, we will soon see
an entire change from the petty politi-
cal manouvering in the board that has
worked to the injury of the institution
TO an intelligent management with moth
ing iii view but the treatment Of the
patients.
DR.. Mckee is not only learned and
successful physician, standing among
the first in the State. but is also q man
of affairs and has executive ability of
a high order. If the Governor viii make
his second class politicians follow John
Il. Smiths example and replace them
with men like Or. Mckee. the Raleigh
asylum will regain the confidence OF
the public. Unless DIR. Mckee has as
sociates Of character, or Russells tools
will follow his lead. he will find himself
as incapable of doing good as DIR. Dixon
and Judge Common of the \. and NJ
College Board. and State Senator b. It.
Aycock. of the Board Of Agriculture
They could do nothing when the politi-
cal pie-huntes executed their caucus

1t is to be hoped that the Governor.
having appointed DIR. Mckee. will per-
nit him to change the policy that has
latterly governed the board. That board
has seemed to think the asylum a train
ing school for young physicians. where
rs it needs the ablest physicians i'm the
State to treat the unfortunate The
Governor has tried unfit political lead
ers to the States dishonor. He ought
to follow up this appointment with more

this gentleman. My children happened

pened again my children must be per-
mitted to leave at once. will not sub

like the prisoner of Chillon, we can grad
ually become used to anything until we
do not seek to break the letters that bind
us. so it is a long communion tends to
make us what we are" Five years ago
this outrage would have been put among
the impossible things whereas now it is
not only possible but seemingly tolerated
with only resistance here and there from
such men as quoted from above.
TO this complexion have we come at
last" Can these things continue in
North Carolina? Are the people ready
to submit to this fore-runner of social
equality? We do not believe it.
