In connection with this matter il
may be interesting to note that Mr..

He says that Mayors aud a man whom
he thinks was Sink came for the

'lther OF the men or the buggy. As

THE AMERICAN SAILOR.

Jncky Has Become . Specialist and Q Credit
 to the Navy.
 Jacky, who used to be more sailor than gunner, is now more gunner than sailor. Just in proportion as he has ceased to be part of the great engine on which he lives, so he has come more and more into the control of it, and as the cardinal purpose of a warship is to hit things with her projectiles Jacky has become a specialist in getting that work out of her. He does it in two places-at the guns and at the engines Correctly pointed guns are of no use unless the platform on which they rest is put in proper relation to the thing to be hit and kept there. Equally it is use- less to get the ship into proper place unless the guns are correctly pointed. Men who can do either of these things must have natural capacities and be sus- ceptible to education, and only men of this sort are eligible for our navy.
 Accordingly the "beach comber, 7" or the "rock scorpion, or any other va riety of that ruck of marine refuse which drifts around the great maritime ports and ships in any craft where "grub' is plenty and work light, no longer slings his hammock on Uncle Sam's berth deck, as he used to do, to the shame of the service, in years gone by. Nor can the tramp nor the jailbird nor even the incorrigible black sheep of the family thus be provided for, to the relief of constables and long suffering relatives. No man or boy can now pass a United States naval recruiting officer unless he is clean, healthy, honest. young, strong and intelligent, nor can he afterward get that advancement, which is certainly open to him without fear or favor, unless he continues to show aptitude and ability.-Park Ben- jamin in Independent.

Slow Eating May Be Bad.

According to The Journal of Mental and Nervous Diseases, slow eating is as bad as fast eating. "The important point is not that we eat slowly or fast, but that when ve do eat we chew with energy. Of course where the haste is due to some mental anxiety this may injuriously inhibit the secretions. Slow eating begets habit of simply mum bling the food without really masticat- ing it, while the hurried eater is in clined to swallow his food before proper mastication Hence hurried eating is bad, but rapid mastlcation is advan- tageous. It concentrates our energies on the act ill question, and hence moro thoroughly accomplishes it. Moreover, energetic chewing stimulates the secre- tion of saliva in the most favorable manner. These various points are so commonly misunderstood, at least by the laity, that they demand our fre- ducnt attention v

Caught In His Own Trap.

It is always pleasant to read of in. stances in which would be practical jokers have had a chance to sample their own wares. In Life In California, |" Alfred Robinson tells of a SenoI Lugo, who often amused the travellers by his stories and eccentricities, and one even ing attempted practical joke, with the following result:
 He had loaded paper cigar with gunpowder and placed it among his cigarros. During his visit with me he repeatedly asked me to smoke, but fortunately missed the cigar he had pre- pared, until finally, from the lateness of the hour, he withdrew.
 In the course of the night he awoke, and feeling a desire to smoke selected from his bundle, quite forgetful of the evenings amusement. the very cigar he had prepared for me. Having lighted it, he returned to bed.
 The cigar was about half consumed and be more than half asleep when a sudden explosion carried away the bet ter part of his mustache, and so thor oughly frightened his poor wife that venture to say the event will never be forgotten.

CITY FIRE FIGHTERS.
The Deadly Perils They Encounter I'm Sa,
 ing Human Lives.

The Deadly Perils They Encounter I'm Saw
 ing Human Lives.
 A great tenement house was burning like finder wood in one of the poorest quarters of the metropolis. The stairs had gone up in smoke before everybody had left the building, and even the fire escape down the outside of the building was cut off by the hot flames from the lower windows, which had already peeled off part of it. A young girl of IA or I5 was frantically shrieking for help in one of the top windows, and a mother was wringing her hands in pitt ful despair down in the street.
 The chief called for volunteers to save the girl, and three men came for ward on the instant, without hesitation and without awaiting to count their chances for success. This is the custom in such eases, for no one would take the responsibility of ordering fireman to hig possible death.
 A strong young fellow who had yet to win his spurs was selected for the task, and he disappeared quickly through the doorway of the adjoining building. When next the crowd saw him he appeared at the window just  under the roof, and, grasping the tin cernice of the burning building next to him, he swung out into the air and made his way, hand over hand, for 30 feet through the dense smoke that rose in black clouds from the lower windows to the sill where the girl was seen.
 She had fallen back into the room unconscious and was overcome with smoke by the time he reached her. A thousand anxious faces Tn the street be- low were tortured with fear for the hero, hundred muttered prayers went up for his safety as the fireman disap- peared into the black cloud, and a thou sand throats sent up lusty shout of re- lief as he appeared again at the window a moment later with the limp form of the girl in his arms-Harper' Round Toh1o

spanish Cruelty.

The cruelty of the Spaniard, or rather his callousness, his recklessness of the lives of others, and even of his own, is a medieval and oriental survival, says Irving Babbitt in The Atlantic, and then, too, there underlies the Spanish temperament know not what vein of primitive Iberian savagery. Mime d'Aulnoy relates that on certain day of the year it was customary for court ga1lants to run along one of the main streets of Madrid, flashing furiously their bare shoulders, and when one of tAese penitents passed the lady of his choice among the spectators he bespat- tered her with his blood as a special mark of his favor.
 Insensibility to the suffering of ami mals, though general in Spain, is not any greater so far as my own observa- tion goes, than in the other Latin coun- tries. Possibly medieval religion in so exalting man above other creat lures. in refusing to recognize his relation to the 95st offnature. tended to increase this lack of sympathy with brute creation. The Spanish peasant belabors his ass for the same reasons that Malebranche kick ed his dog-because he has not learned to see in it a being organized to feel pain ill the same way as himself.

ARMY AND NAVY GUNS.
A Vast Difference In the Number of MeI
 Required to Handle Them.

Vast Difference In the Number of Men
 Required to Handle Them.
 The number of men required to man naval guns of the British, French, Ger man and American navIes is about the same, although the French are under stood to have more men as rule for some of the larger guns.
 For the inch and inch all services require four men to work each piece i; for the 6 inch, six men are needed, and for the 10, 12 and 13 inch the same number.
 As nearly all our 8, 10, 12 and IS inch guns are used in pairs and mount ed in turrets the 12 men working them are protected by heavy plates of steel. For the little 1 pounders three men are necessary to work them rapidly, and for the pounders and pounders four men are assigned, and for the Hotchkiss three men.
 Treble the number of men seem to be required to work the same caliber of guns in our coast defense system, al- though there is no special reason for this, unless it be due to the fact that the army guns are mounted on disap- bearing carriages and are not provided with turrets, which naturally limits the space of the operators. An army inch gun takes 15 men to work it; 10 inch gun requires IS men, and 12 inch gun. the largest now constructed by the army, calls for 21 men.
 It will be seen, therefore, that a 13 inch naval gun is operated by six men, while an army gun of one inch less cali Der calls for 21 men. The navy gun can be fired just as rapidly with it's six men as the army gun can be fired with it's larger number. Herald.
