Sir Francis Cook, who married Ten
nessee Clafiin, is reported to have just
divided $1O,000.000 between his two
sons In order to cheat the chancellor
of the exchequer out of the succession
duty which would have to be paid II
the money We're left as an ordinary
legacy. British millionaires have
never forgiven Lord Harcourt for in
creasing those duties to a point which
made them an important source of
public revenue. Several of them, and
among the number the Duke of West
minister, have already divided the bulk
of their personal estate among their
sons and daughters. Sir Francis Cook
IS reputed to be worth $20,OOO,OOO
even after endowing his sons.

Friendly Attention.

True friendship has a broadening in
fluence, and takes small account OF
things which might serve to weaken
the charms of mere acquaintance.
"Are you habitually lame, or Is your
limp caused by some temporary trou-
ble?" inquired the lawyer in a case Of
assault and battery, addressing a wit
ness for the defendant. The man bore
every indication on his face and per-
son of having been in some recent ca
tastrophe which the lawyer hoped to
prove was the particular affray then
before the court.

I'D thank you for a cup of coffee
Lieutenant, you've got the correct range

This is probably the first cup of coffee
ever served and consumed on Il fighting
bridge during battle. Cafe In Wildes'
will be a popular drink in Uncle Sans
navy.
But Wildes was not the only hungry
man In that fleet during the first part
of the magnificent fight. Dewey was
hungry, and being kind and thoughtful,
he remembered that all his men and all
his officers must be hungry, too. So
when breakfast time came Dewey drew
off his fleet. and every Yankee on the
fleet enjoyed his breakfast very much

HABITS OF THE FUR SEAL.
Sea Animal That Has Many of the
Traits of Sheep.

The fur seal Is land animal, of per-
verted tastes, who, living at sea, has
had his paws changed into fiippers very
like the long black kid gloves of
woman. His heart, liver, and kidneys
are exactly the same as those of
sheep, and just as good to eat, but his
flesh, although just like fat mutton to
look at, Is rank and distasteful from
his habit of eating fish. The whole
package Is put up in a parcel of thick
white fat to keep the body warm, while
from the skin grows heavy crop Of
beautiful brown fur, protected with
large fiat oil-bearing hairs, making a
glossy surface which slides through the
water without friction. Perfectly fear
less, overfiowing with fun, a perfect
little athlete, marvelously strong, the
fur seal is the most delightful of all
wild creatures. But although they live
at sea the seals, being heavily clothed
in fat, skin, fur, and hair, find the tenn
perate ATTITUDES much too warm for
comfort during the summer months.
Since they cannot shed their garments
ike ourselves, tney migrate 10 SUD
arctic climate, gathering In immense
multitudes where there are fisheries to
support them. Their ration is fifty
pounds of cod every day, which for
creature the size Of n sheep is consider
able.
When the little pups appear their
mothers go a-fshing to feed them, and
likewise teach them to swim. The pups
howl with fright when first thrown
into the water. Now, outside the seal
city, with its regular streets and har-
ems, assemble the young bachelors not
yet grown enough for love or war.
Here man steps in, driving the poor
bachelors away inland to be dubbed
for their precious fur.

CAPTAIN WILDES' GOODNESS.
Ordered Coffee While on the Fighting
Bridge at Manila.

If you want to say that any man Is
always cool, calm and collected, say
that he Is as cool as Captain Wlldes OF
the cruiser Boston. He Is one of the
officers with Dewey's fleet at Manila,
and all the world Is wondering mt his
calmness. While the Boston slowly
steamed into the bay of Manila, while
two opposing storms of proJectiles
swept the waters, while man could
not hear himself think In the thunder
of the guns, Wildes stood on the Bos-
toms bridge watching, when the smoke
raised, the deadly accuracy of his gun
ners. Wildes was as cool as a cucum-
ber, but the weather was warm. So he
called for big palm leaf fan, and,
calm as a woman at the opera, famed
himself.
SO cool and calm was this Yankee
fighter while the Spanish ships were
sinking under the hail Of iron that he
remembered he had not had his break
fast 1t speaks well for Wildes that,
under the circumstances, he bethought

THE STRATEGY BOARD.
Ex. Fighting Men Who Direct the
Movements of Ships.

Admirals Dewey and Sampson, with
Commodores Schley and Watson, do the
lighting. but there are four men in
Washington who tell them what they
shall do and when. These are the
members of the Board of Strategy, who
have charge of the conduct of the war
on sea, and SO far as possible direct
the battles. leaving only the details to
the fleet commanders. Each man on
the board has seen Il good deal of real
service and can fight as we'll as any
man in the navy. Aside from this they
are well skilled in the science of war
and are able to plan battles With al
most mathematical certainty. The
members of the board are Rear Adj
miral Montgomery Sicard, Captains A.
L. Mahan, A. $. Crowninshield and A.
S. Barker, all experts.
Rear Admiral Sicard was born In
1886, graduated from the Naval Acad-
emy in 1861 and was n first lieutenant
during the war. He fought in the
West. at Forts Jackson aud st. Philip
and Vlcksburg. Like Dewey, he was at

How Pullman Was Nam I'd.

The town Of Pullman was not osten-
sibly named after the late Mr.. Pull
man himself. The story is that w. w.
Beman, the architect of the town, be-
ing justly proud Of his work, went to
the proprietor and asked that 1t be
named "Beman."
"Um'm,' said the magnate. Fact
is, | had thought of calling the place
Pullman from the man who built 1t
and paid for it. However" Mr.. Pull
man added, rs he observed a look of
disappointment on the architects face,
Il am not particular, Now, what do
you say to n compromise? Suppose
we take the first syllable of my name,
Pull and the second syllable of your
name, man. There you have 1t,
Pull 'man-Pullman. You see that
combines your idea with mine
Mr. Pullman's suggestion prevailed,
and the name, 1t seems, was COM

Architect Beman was greatly pleased
thereby.

discipline into the management Of bis

One hot summer day his hired men,
five or six in number decided to take n
nap after their luncheon of doughnuts
and pie. instead of setting to work
again at haymaking. They selected one
of their number to act as sentinel and
keep watch for the old judge, and the
rest of them stretched themselves Mt
full length In the shade of big tree.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, the
sentinel also yielded to the desire for
slumher, and at the end of ten minutes
was fast asleep at his post.
