Donaldson Gallery, Jr, son of the
Unite1 States Senator, and District At
torney for his judicial district, was q
classmate Of Hobson's at the Academy OF
Annapolis.
"Hobson,'' said Catfery the other day,
sis one of the most exalted characters ]
have ever known. Hs had will of iron.
His religious tendency somewhat associ-
ated him in my mind with Stonewall
jackson, it was SO pronounced. He was
q hard student. attended with the most
scrupulous regularity to every detail of
work at the academy never forgot his
Bible
There is an unwritten law at Anna
polls that the officer OF the Senior class
in the last year shall not report small
Irregularities and infractions of disci-
pine among his classmates, and, like ev
erything at the Naval Academy, this law
is rigid and is always respected. Hob
son, however, saw his duty in disregard
ing it. and made himself SO unpopular
with the boys that to man they all cut
him. This had not the slightest effect
upon him, however, for he was doing
what he conceived his duty, and nothing
could ever deter him from the perform
ancs of duty. I only saw one variation
from this rule of his, and ! am inclined
to believe it was in his conscience no va
Ration at all. 1t was when we went out
cruising. Those young tigers were on
the alert for the slightest opportunity to
haze, and the man who is So unfortunate
as to give an opening has rocky time
of it, indeed. I remember that inadver-
tently threw myself down on the mess
table on the first day out. Ny comrades
pounced on me, and, pretending this was
a heinaus offense, had some fun at my
expense which I shall never forget.
"You must know we have all the
amiable traits of young savages, and just
about as much mercy. l wondered on
this trip if Hobson would have tho te-
merity to kneel and pray. There was
not man of the crowd, out of the many
superb youngsters, who would have
fiinched in the mouth of the cannon, with
the bardihood to kneel and pray before
the boys. But Hobson quietly kneeled
and prayed before turning in for the
night The boys succeeded in making
that unbearable for him in time, and he
eventually quit it. l am quite convinced,
however, that he desisted simply because
he concluded the quiet Of his bed would
be better conducive to a religious frame
of mind, and not because he had not the
moral courage to kneel and pray before
the whols body Of Us. However, great
many of US, l am sure, did the same
thing. -

MAINE RICH IN MINERALS.
The Down East State Has Produced Some
Remarkable Collections.
(From the Boston Globe.)

(From the Boston Globe.
People are accustomed to regard the
Pine Tree State as land of snow and
rocks of granite. True, there is granite,
and the finest in the world, but neither
California nor Colorado can boast of such
variety of rich and rare mineral speci-
mems as can be found among the rock
ribbed hills of Androscoggin and Oxford
Counties.
Maine has long led the entire world in
the production of tourmalines, and colleo-
tors from every section of the country Wis
1t Mount Mica for the purpose of gather
ing some of it's treasures.
DR.. HaIHiin of Bangor, son of the
1ate Hannibal Hamlin, is the owner of
this property. and 1t is said that he has
cleared oyer 100000 during the past few
years from the sale of Mount Mica gems.
Brom these mines are taken every variety
and color of tourmalines known to the
3apidary. The gems are found in "pock
ets,' and are of rare brillia ncy and
beauty. The collector who can secure a
green or .pink tourmaline from Mount
Mica is considered especially fortunate.
Mount Apatite, in Auburn. is even
richer in precious gems than the former
plaos. Here have been found some of the
finest specimens of topaz, smoky quartz,
and herderite that the world can boast.
Only last fall farmer by the name of
!, Littlefeld, whose land lies on the noun
ttainside, conceived the idea of digging
Tor its hidden treasures After spending
( Rll his loose change without making any
discovery he gave up the attempt. His
wife, however was not quite satisfied.
One day, while her husband was absent,
she took the pick and sledge hammer
spnd went exploring on her own account
Commencing where her discouraged lord
bad left off the brave woman began her
work. She had not gone down over six
Inches when pocket was struck which
in richness and size exoellsd all records
It was not less than twelve feet square,
and its sides we're completely Ii lsd with
the richest specimens Of topaz Its con-
tents have not yet been fully .yplored.
Over S.. 900 worth of gems az CRYSTALS
have been taken out and the is not
yet
One of the rarest and mo- 1Iluable
specimsns is now in the posses n of Mr..
William P. Damon of West = u9urn. 1t
Is over two feet high, thirtsen inches
thick, and is undoubtedly the finest
specimen of tins mineral in existence
le Is remarkably clear, and Is OF the va
riety known as phantom topaz.
A few weeks since the Smithsonian In
stitution sent an agent to secure this
crystal if possible, but although tempting
offers were made, Mr.. Damon refused to
part with his treasure. Another specimen
rests by its side of nearly the same size
and set in a matrix of white quartz. MIR.
Damon has made life study of native
Maine minerals, and is, beyond doubt,
the best-intormed man on the subject a
the State. His collection is as rare as it
is valuable. Not even the Smithsonian
can approach it in completeness, so far as
Maine gems are concerned.

COFFEE WORSE THAN ALCOHOL.
At Least It May Have a More Injurious
Effect If Drunk Immoderately.
(From the Philadelphia Ledger.

(From the Philadelphia Ledger
1t would shock teetotaler to tell him
that coffee drinking is more injurious to
the human system than whiskey drink
ing; yet that is practically what DR..
Oliver P. Rex, Medical Director of the
Penn Mutual Insurance Company says.
The medical gentlemen who guard the
interests of the insurance companies have
done much to teach the present genera
tion how to live. Having the best oppor-
tunities of studying physiological prob
lens, they are able to draw very accurate
general conclu sions from the great num-
Der of individual cases which come un-
der their obser vntion as medical exami-
ners.
The physician for an insurance COM
pany always makes a careful examination
of the action of the heart for organic or
functional arrangements. If he finds an
organic trouble which cannot be removed,
he usually turns down" the applicant
for insurance. He finds plenty of cases
with functional troubles, due to various
causes, which may be cured in greater or
less time by removing the causes he
detects these by listening to the heart
beats; and to well trained ear the varia-
tion of these heartbeats from the rhythm
Of healthy heart indicates the cause Of
the arrangement.
1t is easy, DR.. Rex said, to note the
difference between the "bicycle heart a
"whiskey heart" and "coffee heart. !"
These troubles are so frequently met
with by examiners that they are common
ly known by the above names. Tbs man
or woman who over exercises by riding q
bicycle up ill, or 'scorcbing,'' produces
an enlargement. or hyprot1ophy, OF the
heart, The stimulation OF alcohol, to-
bacco, coffee, or tea affects tne rhythm OF
the BEATS
A heartbeat consists of two sounds, one
long aud one short. In the first blood
is Glling the relaxed heart; in the second
the heart contracts, with a corkscrew
motion and violently expels the blood
through the arteries. 1t it essential to
healthy circulation that the first move
ment should be completed, and the heart
filled, before the second Is begun. oIrong
stimuIants disturb this regular action,
shortening the length of the long beat,
and long continuance in their use may
make the arrangement permanent.
The best remedy, of course, is to remove
the cause, and the doctor referred to
several cases where marked beneficial re-
suits were produced within short periods.
He would confine the use OF coffee to two
cups a day Coffee topers are plentiful,
and are as much tied to their cups as the
whiskey topper. The effect of the coffee
upon the heart is more lasting, and, con-
sequently, worse than that of liquor. AS
beverage it is important to use it only
at the close of u meal, when it is said to
assist digestion. In this respect it is IN
like tea, which, by its tannic acid, pre-
vents digestion.
