Umbrellas in the Navy.

An umbrella is an ordinary, un-
dramatic thing, as a rule, but when a
stout, weather beaten old sailor in
Uncle Sans blue rolled along Broad
way one recent day with an article of
the kind spread over his head, the in
terest it excited was prolonged and
sustained.
''No man in the navy" explained
the tar, sever includes the umbrella
in his outfit. Most of the commits
stoned officers do, however, although
it is never raised aboard ship, no mat
ter how much it rains. Any man or
officer who would hoist an umbrella
at sea would become an object of ridi-
Guile 80 long as he remained in the
service. But when an officer arrives
at port he may bring out his umbrella,
hoist it and even go ashore with it
over his head without making of him.
self what the boys would call "holy
show
'Down in tropical countries the
umbrella is most important. owing to
the tierceness with which the sun
shines. If an officer has to 60 ashore
there he never neglects to take his
umbrella, and even the men gen.
orally try to get hold of the article at
those hot ports.
Umbrellas used by the officers OF
the navy are just the same as you
people who live ashore use and just. as
fancy in the handles. No officer
comes ashore in his native land rugged
up in his sea toys. He dresses like a
private citizen, of course, and so
makes use of the little conveniences
of private folk.
Looks funny to see sailor carry
ing one of these things? Well, 1 ex-
pect it does, and if the lads aboard
ship caught sight of it they'd have
more sport with me than. bundle OF
monkeys. New York Herald.

The Yukon Mosquito.

Not only do the Yukon mosquitoes
attack men and overwhelm them, but
they drive the moose, deer and caribou
up the mountains to the snow line,
where these animals would prefer not
to be in berry time. They kill dogs,
and even the big brown bear, that is
often miscalled a grizzly, has sue
cumbed to them. Bears come down
to the river from the hillside in the
early fall to get some of the salmon
that are often thrown upon the banks
when the run" is heavy.
If Bruin runs foul of swarm of
mosquitoes and has not his wits about
him his day has come. The insects
will light all over him. His fur pro-
tects his body. but his eyes, ears and
nose will soon be swollen up and bleed
ing, and unless he gets into river or
a strong wind he will be driven mad
and blind to wander about hopelessly
until he starves to death.
Although the Alaska summer is
short, two broods of mosquitoes hatch
out each year, and are ready for bust
ness from one to ten seconds after
they leave the water. 1t rains good
deal along the Yukon, and rain is
welcomed, for it drives the mosqui-
toes to cover. They hide under leaves
and branches until the shower is over,
then they come out boiling with rage
at the time they have been forced to
spend in idleness and the miner has a
harder time than ever after his respite.
Mosquitoes and snowHakes are not
contemporaries in the States, but in
Alaska it is different. Snow does not
bother them so much as rain, and an
early snow may fall while they are
still on the wing. Fog does not choke
them, either. They appear to like it.
They float about in it as in ambush
and take the unwary prospector by
surprise. Denver Times.

The departure of All Fong from
Honolulu was as romantic as his COM
ing. About ten years ago one of his
grown-up sons in China visited his
father in the islands and induced him
to return to his first wife, whom he
had not seen for twenty-five years.
He told his Hawaiian family of his in
tention to go home, never to return,
and made the most liberal settlement
of his property upon his wife and chill
dren, SO that they were almost mill
lionaires, while All Fong went back to
China almost as poor as he came.

to resign from the navy, marry his
young fancee and settle down in
Honolulu to practice his profession.

A HAWIIAN ROMANCE.
The Story of All Fong and His Beautiful
Family of Daughters.

The Story of All FOng and His Beautiful
Family Of Daughters.
There is dash of romance in the
brief announcement telegraphed from
San Francisco of the engagement of
DIR. j. G. Thompson, surgeon on the
United States steamer Mohican, now
in Hawaiian waters, to Miss Alice All
Fong, of Honolulu. The lady's name
indicates the curious and sometimes
perplexing mingling of races in those
islands.
The history Of All Fong, the father
of DR.. Thompson's fancee, is most
interesting one. He was Chinaman
who came from his native land to
Hawaii generation ago, either as a
contract laborer or as small mer-
chant He was man of more than
ordinary ability and intelligence. 1t
is said he had left wife and children
in China, but according to Chinese
religion and custom, this was no bar
to his taking new wife in Hawaii.
He married a beautiful half-caste
Hawaiian girl and brought up large
family of daughters. So upright, hon.
orable and just was All Fong in all
his dealings that he won universal
respect. From a plantation hand he
became planter, merchant and mil
lionaire. On the outskirts of Homo
lulu he built residence which, with
the tropical gardens surrounding it, is
described as dream of loneliness
and beauty. His daughters were edu
Gated in the United States and became
the most beautiful and accomplished
young women of the Hawaiian metlop-
polls. To their soft Polynesian beauty
was added the brilliancy of the Orient
and piquancy and chic due to the adj
mixture of the American blood, and
their society was sought by the most
aristocratic in the city. One Of the
daughters married Captain Whiting
of the United States navy, another a
Judge of the circuit court, and others
influential merchants of Honolulu,
the youngest, Miss Alice, now being
chosen by DIR. Thompson.
All this time All Fong continued to
support his wife and children in China
He was never Christianized and always
wore his Oriental garb. 1t was curl

man in his magnificent home or driv-

Merits of Steel sIeepers.

The question of the relative merits
of steel sleepers as compared with
wooden ones has long been vexing
question to the railroad officials hav-
ing to do with such matters. There
is no doubt now, however, that steel
sleepers are superior to those of wood
in some cases, according to the report
of an official of the Netherland State
railroad. From this report it appears
that the Gothard Railroad company of
Switzerland, now has roper cent. of its
own track laid with iron or steel
sleepers. They began to use the me-
tallic sleepers 16 years ago and have
kept careful watch upon them all
the time. The road is crooked and
has long tunnels and steep grades.
When the sleeper of average weight is
put in it costs about 81. 80, but when
taken out it is still worth something,
and the net cost would therefore reach
about 81 90 each. After the first two
years the cost of keeping the track in
order is decidedly lower with metal
than with wooden sleepers, and the
lateral displacement of the tracks on
curves is less. In long tunnels the
steel sleepers rust, so that they last
only eight OF ten years, and on tam
gents in long tunnels wooden sleepsrs
are still used. The reports state that
except III long tunnels, the sleepers of
metal will last as long as the rail. -
