SYMPATHY FOR DEWEY.
Expressed by English officers Before
| He Made His Trip to Manila.

AS 'AduC Ills arp 10 Ndnllds
Gen. E. s. Johnon of San Francisco re-
ceived from Hong Kong letter from a
friend telling of the feeling in naval cir
and his fleet for Manila. Gen. Johnson's
friend is a member of Hong Kong's
SWEETEST English club. Dewey and his Of
tcers were guests ut the club while they
were in port. Dewey, with his bluff,
hearty and outspoken manner, was IL ia
vorite of all the English officers at Hong
Kong, as well as the other men at th.
club.
When the commodore of our Asiatic
squadron received orders to sail. the IIns-
llshtneh were sincerely sorry for him.
The British admiral was outspoken in his
sympathy.
"Commodort," said he, at the rlub, the
night before the tieet sailed, "you have
my best wishes and sympathy. If YOU
ever meet that fleet they will wipe you off
the face of the earth."
Dewey was just little piaued. hit he
took the admirals expression iii the spirit
in which it was intended;
admiral" he replied; 'if tie Spauiards
wipe ME off tho face of the earth, they
will realize that was once on earth"
When the news of the victory in Ma
Mia bay reached Hong Kong it was
doubted. At the club it was. pooh -pco;,ctl
as preposterous. Not that the best wishes
of the members were not with the Anwr-
cans, but the result seemed incredible.
ooh You don't know Dewey" said Gen.
Johnson's friend, in answer to their in
credulity.
when the news was confirmed two
days later" he wrote, II was the biggest
man in Hong Kong. My chest went cut
a foot. and was twenty years younger.
You should have seen me strut, and
everyone in Hong Kong touched his hat

MACHlNISTS' TERMS.
Nomenclature Adopted by Workmen
in the Shops.

There are. perhaps, few except those
who have had much TRANSMITTING of tech
nical literature from English into foreign
languages who have any idea of how
many absolutely meaningless names we
have drawn from the animal kingdom
and which very seldom can be rendered
in their technical sense by their actual
equivalent.
Thus the machinist employs dog ON
bis lathe; he takes hog cut, if the tool
will stand it,: the castings arc made from
pigs of iron, which in turn were fed from
Il SOW. Work is set upon horse or buck.
and punched or bent by a convenient bear;
screws arc turned by monkey wrench

and see which will puff out first, and

One Little Girls Winter Frocl

Was it not George Elliot who said that
every honest mothers mind had u lean
ing towards plaids? We'll, no matter who
said it, the statement is true; and the
thrifty woman proved no exception to the
rule when she spied upon bargain coun-
ter, marked down to 50, fine bright
Scotch plaid in just the quantity she
needed. She thought of bit of dark
green velvet at home, just enough for a
yoke, and some black satin that wonld
make effective shoulder pieces. "For \
plaid" she mused, must be modulated
in tone to be smart and effective" She
bought a yard Of good black satin for a
sash, and one bolt of narrow green rib
bon to be quilted around the sash and
shoulder pieces. The dress was made
with Il full skirt and separate scarlet
skirt Of percaline. The waist was plcat
ed: back and front, and the high plaid
collar formed Il bright and becoming
touch above the green velvet yoke. The
touch of black satin in sash and shoulder
pieces, with their narrow quillings Of
green ribbon, made the dress as pretty
and Frcnchy as possible. 1t must not
be forgotten that the sash was fastened
in the back by buckle of malachite-n
French buckle that had served it's day.
and had been carefully saved by tht.
thrifty woman. This gown cost $40

Ruttermilk as a Medicine.

there has been Il disposition Ia utilize the
skim milk and huttermilk and whey to

been accomplished. and experiments have
been made along various lines ns to how
that can best be done.

had under him young officer lately

fell into the habit Of disregarding the sa-
lutes of the enlisted men around the post.
They noticed the omission. of course,
with much comment. Probably Col.
Graham heard of the matter.
One afternoon, when the colonel was
walking from his office to his quarters,
with his orderly about thirty feet behind
him. the young West Pointer came down
the gravel path from the Opposite tlirec-
ton. He saluted his colonel, and the sa-
lutte was promptly returned but he was
apparently too much pre0ccupiel to see
the salute of the orderly, and did not re-
turn it. He did not know that the gruff
and sturdy colonel had wheeled around
and was watching him; When the young
man had passed the orderly, the colonel
hailed him.
''Licutcnant! 4 word with YOU
The young lieutenant walked back to
the colonel.

this army said Col. Graham. lis that
they shall return salute for salute. Or

"Now, licutenunt," continued the colo
mel. ''you and my orderly may pace back
and forth III opposite directions for a
while. both of YOU observi ing regulations
as you come within salnting distance of
each othcr.'
The colonel sat down on a rustic bench
and for few minutes watched the two
men exchanges the rourteses obligatory
upon private and general alike. 1t is
said that the young officer has not disre-
gardcd the humblest salute since that
time.
Most readers have heard the old story
told of Gen. Washington, who. when
President of the United States, was
passed by a slave. The general was sur
rounded by his brilliant staff. AS the
colorcd man approached. he saluted with
becoming humility. This the staff did
not notice. but Gen. Washington bowed
and lifted his hat
When asked why. he condescended to
notice black man. he made the memoir
able reply:
Am to be outdone in politeness by a
negro?''
The recognition of courtesy is one of
the things that mark the difference be-
tween boor and a gentleman.

Advance of Wages with improved
Methods of Production

In every branch of industry, especially
in all the arts which have been most fully
developed by the application of science
and invention, there has been a progress
sive advance i'll the rate of wages or in
the earnings of all who are occupied on
the farm, on the railway, in the factory.
or in the workshop. This advance has
been subject to temporary reductions dur
ing periods of commercial crises, usually
very moderate. In such periods there il
apt to he unemployment for portion of
the working force rather. than any COLI
siderable reduction in established rates of
wages. These periods are usually of
short duration and from each small de-
cline wages have taken speedy upward
trend. This advance III all rates of wages
has been coupled with general decline
in the prices of nearly all products. In
some branches of industry the advance. in
the rate of wages has been less than
III others; When each of these cases is
dealt with, usually one of two causes will
be found. In many arts the progress of
invention has lessened the demand for in.

Hiding under fallen leaves.

Come to visit you and me:
They've been swinging many days.
Where the birds have sung their lays,
Prickly houses, closed so tight,
They were hidden from our sight.
T1ll the frost came to their home
And invited them to come,
Spend the winter, share the joys
Of the happy girls and boys.

And the trees We love to climb!
Shake the limbs. the chcstnuts fall.
