MANNERS OUTSIDE THE NAVY.
An Instance Showing That Old Sea
Dogs Have Little Respect for
! Land Lubbers' Ways.

The ordinary seaman's respect for
rank and station when not connected
with his beloved vessel is decidedly
meager, says writer in an article en-
titled 'On a Man-of-War." When the
president of the United States visits one
of our men-of-war he is received at the
gangway by the admiral, comma nding
officer, and all of the officers of the ship
in full uniform, the crew at quarters
for inspection, the marine guard drawn
up with the band on the quarter deck,
the. national flag is displayed at the
main, the drummer gives four DUTIES,
the band plays the national air and a
salute of 81 guns is fred. The same
ceremony also takes place on his leav-
ing.
On one occasion the president visited
one of the ships informally, dispensing
with the salute and ceremony, when
one of the men rather Indignantly
asked another who that lubber was on
the quarterback that didn't "douse his
peak" to the comm odore.
Choke your huff, will you," was the
reply; "that's the president of the
United States.'' -. =,
"Well! Amt he got manners enoug
to salute the arterdeck if he is 2"
Manners! What does he know about
manners? I don't suppose he was ever
out OF sight of land in his life.''

A CAPITAL by Accident.

Nature never intended Berlin for any
thing but a provincial town. 1t has
been made into the capital Of a great
empire deliberately-of malice afore-
thought. It has, in fact, been victim
lied by favorable circumstances. To
the stranger, there is nothing about it
that fascinates; nothing that excites
the imagination. It has neither. the
architectural beauty of Vienna nor the
reckless gayety of Paris; neither the
vastness that surrounds London. It is
sprawling commercial town in the
middle Of a sandy plain. A muddy and
most melancholy stream wanders I'M
INSTRUCTED through the center of the
city as if rather ashamed of itself. To
the north and south are forests OF pine
and plains Of sand to the east and west
are plains of sand and forests Of pine,

WANTED FLOWERS.
But the Congressman Informed Hel
That He Had to Draw the
Line Somewhere.

A certain southern congressman was
heard entertaining a company of his
colleagues last week in the democratic
cloak room of the house with an &C.
count of an unusual experience, says
the Washington Post. During the
woman suffrage convention" said he,
several ladies from my district were
present. Early in the convention one
of them came to the capitol, called at
my committee room, and requested an
interview, which was readily granted
She stated that the woman suffrage
delegates were to have some sort of a
public meeting, in which she was to
participate, and requested that should
provide floral tribute to be presented
to her on that occasion.

aback at the suggestion. I supposed in
the course of my IL years in congress
that I had exhausted about every
variety of duties that member of the
house is called upon to perform. !

MAN is CHANGING NATURE,
A Race of Hornless Cattle May Soon
Be Developed.

A Race OF HOrnleSS cattle May SOOn
Be Developed.
Civilization is transforming nature in
surprising ways. The dehorning of
cattle is an example, as the practice is
gaining favor so rapidly that hornless
cattle may be expected soon to become
the rule rather than the exception.
The first objections were that it is
cruel and unnatural. The early method
of dehorning with saw was undOubt-
edly slow and painful, but specially
constructed clippers are now used that
often remove a horn in a single Sec
ond, and with so little suffering that
feeding is continued as usual, and the
operation is really humane, the fire.
quent injuries in herds from goring be-
ing prevented. The horns have become
utterly useless, being no longer needed
as protection against natural enemies.
In calves less than three weeks old the
embryo horns can be removed with one
stroke of sharp knife, or they can
be treated with caustic sufficiently
powerful to destroy them:
For three years the Maine expert
ment station has, dehorned calves by
rubbing the horns four or five times
with caustic potash. In every case but
one the operation has been successful,
the calf in the exception having
reached the age of IS days before treat
ment, with the result that dwarfed
horns an inch or an inch and half long
were subsequently developed.-Boston

AS to the Stage Route.

The people of Lake and Cook counties
should now get together and make a
combined effort to secure an appropria-
ton for the opening up Of the lake shore
road between Beaver Bay and Cross
river. Cook County has built a first
class road as far west as Cross river, and
we understand that Lake county has
constructed good road from Two Har
bors to Beaver Bay. This leaves only
about thirty miles yet to be built TO give
Cook county the long wished for stage
route from Two Harbors to Grand Ma
rals. The new postal schedule giving
us a semi-weekly mail service from
Two Harbors during the winter months
makes it more important that this road
should be completed as it insures the
establishing and maintenance of stage
line on the route. Such line would in
connection with the carrying of the mail
be very paying enterprise. 1t would
serve as an impetus to the establishing
of various Industries and to the openin g
up of the rich agricultural lands along
the shore. There are now in operation a
single mill and several logging and tie
camps along this line, besides the min.
ing operations being carried on by the
johnson Nickel Go. All Of these in
dustries are Handicapped to great
extent by their inability to get in or out
with team during the winter months
and we believe that several other indus.
tries would be established but for this
disadvantage.
We believe that if the people of the
two counties would make combined
effort IN that direction they would ex-
perience no difficulty in securing an ap-
preparation sufficient to complete this
road, in view of the fact that the amount
allowed the three counties of st. Louis,
Lake and Cook by the last Legislature
was all given to st. Louis county.
In all. probility this is the only way
we can hope to secure the completion OIL
this route for some time to come. Cook
county has not tho means to carry the
work beyond It's own limits and the Lake
county officials say that their county is
not in shape to do anything in that line
at the present time.
