He Should Have Saluted

From tha Detroit Free Press
The ordinary sea mans respect for rank
and station when not connected with his
beloved vessel, is decidedly meager. When
the president of the United States visits
one of our men-of-war he is received at
the gangway by the admiral. commanding
officer. and all of the officers of the ship,
in full uniform, the crew at quarters for in
spection, the marine guard drawn up with
the band on the quarter deck, the national
flag is displayed at the main, the drummer
gives four ruffies, the band plays the ma
tional air and s4lute of twenty-one guns
Is fired. The same ceremony also takes
place on his leaving. On one occasion the
President visited one of the ships informal
ly, dispensing with the salute and cere-
mony. when one of the men rather indig
nantly asked another who that lubber was
on the quarter deck that didn't ''douse his
peak to the commodore.
Choke your luff will you" was the re-
ply; that's the President of the United
States"
We'll, amt he got manners enough to
salute the quarter deck II he is?'

GERMANY'S RULER.

From the Contemporary Review.
Personal liberty is at lower ebb in Ger
many now than it is in very Russia. Even
letters received from Germany show signs
of extreme caution. The Germans have al
ways been a timid race, though never lack
ing in courage to fight for their liberties in
a defensive way. They are so overawed by
the police and by military despotism that
the great thinkers, the scholars, the mill
lionaires, the rising geniuses, are little bet
ter than pack Of skulking school boys
with their eyes furtively turned up at the
masters cane. In Russia. God knows, the
arm of government is evident enough, and
in the hands of indiscreet officials often be-
comes tyrannical and unjust; but there at
least We have ignorant masses to deal with,
and a conscientious. paternal master.
Alexander III was one of natures gentle
men in feeling and sympathy, in loyalty
and in honor. Nicholas IL has also, SO far.
comportel himself with prudence and cor
rectness which compel respect. If the cZar S
agents occasionally fail him, it is not al
ministers. At least the government strains
every nerve to improve the position OF its
shaggy focks; no question of personal van
ity. craven submission to foreign allies or
family pique comes in. AS in the case OF
NJ de Witte. the humblest Russian may
aspire to become ruler. But the Emperor
of Germany can only preserve even public;
respect for his personality by confiscatins
an issue of kladderadatsch and imprisoning
professors for leSe majeste, he scarcely
ever opens his mouth publicly but that an
amused smile spreads all over Europe.
There is little or nothing of the true hero
in him. He estranges his relatives, give;
away his imperial dignity and Is apt TO

land Islands. Before Samuel Enderby no
whaler seems to have thought of passing
out Of the Atlantic either by way of Cape
Horn to the west or the Cape Of Good
Hope to the east. In the autumn of lTSS
Enderby's vessel the Amelia. under Cap
tain Shields. rounded the Horn. and after
nine months absence. returned to London
with 139 tuns of sperm oil. Immediately
there was rush for the Pacific of both
English and American vessels, and by the
end of 1191 the import into Great Britain
had quadrupled. After decimating the
ocean on the Peruvian and Chilean coasts.
these ships spread northwsrd and west
ward. They met with much success of
New Zealand. In 1893 some OF them had
got as far north as the Moluccas Had they
penetrated little further, they might have
anticipated Enderby's second enterprise.
In 1919 that man fitted out the Siren
vessel OF 500 tons Qhe whalers of those
days seldom exceeded 200 tons) and sent
her to look for whales or Japan. This
second triumph was greater than the first.
The Siren came home with BAG tuns OF
sperm oil-the record cargo. and, asbe-
fore. whalers were dispatched post haste
Tor the new ground. in order to obtain
share Of the spois. New South Wales took
a hand. and for the first time I'm 1921 ship

From Harpers Bazar
In recent cleverly written novel one of
the characters remarks:
Success is the art of impressing people
with the idea that you have got what you
wanted in life, and failure is the weakness
of crying out on the house-tops that you
have missed getting itr'
There is wisdom in this idea in many di-
| rections. 1t is an ordinary experience that
successful people are rarely satisfied peo-
pie. When We have got what we struggled
for in life we usually find it was not quite
what we expected 1t to be. Perhaps it had
drawbacks We never suspected. Perhaps
we had changed before We reached it. At
all events, it was different. not so satisfy
ing.
So the success may become a failure to
the man who has reached it. only TO sit
down and bemoan himself that it is not
what he expected it to be.
But who is to know of these hidden dis
SatiSfactionS If We do not proclaim them?
We may make the success a failure by la
mentfng its deficiencies, or We may make
the failure seem a success by persistenuy
displaying it's good points. So is it not best
to take the good of our success and cover
up the heartache which We have earned
an accomplished aim, and IL Is only when
We pe1sistently use this good and ignore
the bad that we get the most of anything
in life-even of an unsuccessful success
Perhaps wee have won money, and lost
our health in getting it. Perhaps We have
won fame, and the one wanted il for is
not here to share it, or perhaps We asked
for sympathy and companionship of life
and life has denied these, but has sent
other gifts-freedom, money, ability to
travel or other good things which have
their uses. Is it not the best way to get the
utmost good and pleasure out of what we
have and bear, with what philosophy or re-
ligion We can. the loss of what has been de-
MED?
Success Is relative. When We get wha.
We aimed at we want something more or
something different What you would val
ue l would not care for. What 1 would be
willing to choose before all the world might
be worthless in your eyes. But each of US
finds something, and to show our apprecia-
tion of what We have is worldly as well as
heavenly wisdom. If We are not quite as
successful as we hoped to be, at least let
no one suspect that il is So

From Byron's Chflde HeroId.
Here all were noble nobility,

Use of Coal.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
The amount Of coal consumed by a vessel
during a voyage depends very largely up
on the speed, for the consumption Of coal
increases alme st in a geometrical ratio to
the speed. There are many ships which
burn from 100 to 800 tons Of coal per day,
the lowest consumption being when the
vessel is sailing at a moderate rate Our
men-of-war do not consume SO much In
proportion as swift passenger steamers
which ply between Europe and America,
for. unless in an emergency. they are not
driven at the highest attainable speed.
The ocean passenger steamers often burn
from $500 to $500 tons during a voyage
lasting six to seven days, though, Of
course as already stated. the amount Is
largely dependent on the speed.

Our Own Shoe.
From Harper's Baz1r.

There is common saying to the effect
that every one knows where his own shoe
pinches. This is true, but it is also quite
as true tha: each mans shoe pinches iust
where he can best endure the pinch For
it is merciful arrangement of Providence
that, in spite of many causes of grievance
which each of US fancies he possesses, we
would rather bear the trials er troubles We
now possess than exchange our lot for that
of any other person-if We had to take all
the vicissitudes connected with that lot
When one faneies herself particularly az
grieved, IT is a salutary practice to look
about and see If there is really any one in
whose shoes she would rather stand. The
verdict Will, In nine cases out of ten, be:
II do not like my shoes much. They
pinch; but they fit me better than nv
neighbors' would"

Why We Fight.

Written for The Evening Star by Anna N, Laise.
Why does our flag so proudly wave
Over the land and the sea-
Cheering our hosts true and brave,
Making the bondmen free?
What spirit prompts our boys in blue
To share In the bs tiles brunt?
Why are loved ones, loyal aud true.
Rushing on to the frontf
Our flag floats In the cause Of right.
And her stars, like Gods, shine out,
Turning the darkness into light,
Banishing sin and doubt.
'T1s not love Of glory or gain
That sends our sons forth to fight.
Nor yet because the good ship Maine
Was sunk that awful night.
nOber cause than that Of hate,
The cause Of humanity,
Has called brave men from ev'ry state
To fight land and sea.
For tyrant hateful and black
Has fastened his cruel chain
On weak and helpless ones who lack
The might to battle Spain.
Gafnst wrong we fght-please God we'll win
Truth and right the day shall see
Our iag shall float mid cannOns din.
And Cuba will be free.

TlMIDITY OF CHILDREN,
To Shield a Child From Fears is a
Sacred Trust.

From the Woman's Homo Companion.
The first natural duty OF mother is to
protect her young; to create around it a
shelter, in the midst of which the tender
thing can grow, secure from shocks and
seeing and hearing only what is good for
it to hear and see. BY learning
the signs of fear in young child, and
Knowing how to distinguish true fear from
willfulness. they will be able TO exert a
soothing and protecting influence at the
right moment, and avert danger whose
consequences are serious almost beyond
belief in the case of our highly organized
excitable. modern children.
1t Is the mother. rather than the father
who is called upon to secure the blessing
OF sound imagination to her children.
She ought to begin away back in the be-
ginning-with the very first surroundings
OF the newborn infant. Let ii find its early
life peaceful. quiet and unhurried. And
when infancy merges into that older period
when young faculties are springing for
ward in rapid development, and each day
the little one takes on more of the hue OF
its larger fellow-creatures, let her be dou-
bly, careful that no untimefy scare stunts
Its intelligence. 1t is said that to be afraid
OF shadows is an inevitable passing expe
rience Of childhood Yet l know one small
toddler who never has shown any such dis
position, but whose great delight is to play
with her own shadow and other shadows,
when the lights are brought in each night.
She is peculiarly sensitive. sympathetic
little thing, and could easily be made timid
by unwise treatment. But, under the shell
tering care of fond and JudicIous parents,
she is remarkable for not knowing what
1t is to be afraid and although she is CIV
en- to unpleasant dreams. as many young
children are, and often awakened with
start, a low word or touch soothes her into
serenity. Happy above others is the little
child who thinks of his mother a verita-

Ancient Records.

From the st. Leuis Giobe-Democrat.
The authentic records of the Chinese race
began. about 1900 years ago. though the
traditional history extends back much fur
ther. As a matter OF fact however, the re-
liable record of China does not go back fur
ther than 2205 Be. and 1t is believed by
chronological authorities that the Chinese
annals do not antedate those of Egypt.
The earliest dynasty of China, that of
Han. dates from 206 BIC. to 90 AID, and
the long list Of preceding dynasties is be-
ieved to have little better foundation than
in the imaginations Of the Chinese his

A Famous Pawnbroking House
From the New York Herald

The first pawnbroking establishment
was that of Freisingen. in Bavaria, OPEN
ed in 1888. In 1850 there was one at
Sains. in Franche-Comte. and in 1861 one
was opened in London. None of these
was. however. successful. The present
Paris Mont de Piete was established in
l777. In the same street where the head
office now is. From 1717 till the year 1894
the interest paid by the Monte de Piete
for it's capital varied between 3h per cent
and per cert. Later On 1t once as
high as Is per cent. only however, to fall
again quickly. Since May l last 1t has
only been 2&. per cent. The rate charged
to borrowers has been Z per cent since
1887. Besides Paris, forty-six French
cities possess Monts de Piete which charge
interest varying from per cent to 8 per
cent, except the cities of Montpelier, Gren-
oble. Lille. Nice and Angers. where no in
terest at all is charged on loans. .
