Nicely of Eti0uetta.

A true gentleman usually feels that
it is as essential to be courteous to the
least as to the greatest, but etiquette
does not always recognize this.
The famous Talleyrand Is reported
to have used graduation of politeness
in asking his guests to take beef at q
dinner party that he gave. The grade
ran thus:
To a prince of the blood: ''May I
have the pleasure of sending your royal
highness little beef?"
To a duke: "Monseigneur, permit
me to send you little beef"
To marquis: Marquis, may send
you little beef?''
To viscount: "viscount, pray have
little beet"
To baron: "Baron, do you take
be>f?''
To an untitled gentleman: ''Mon-
sieur, some beef?"
To his privats secretary: "Bsef?"
But there was yet an inferior per-
sonage present, aud 20 him Talleyrand
utter I'D no word He simply looked at
him and m ade an interrogative gesture
with the carving knife. But if the
meat were good some of US would not
trouble m lch no Y we were invited to

In looking for guide the Vermont
, err found Farmer Beman, who as soon
as he found out what was wanted,
said:
"Why not take my boy? Nathan
knows all about the fort. He's been all
over it aud knows the location of every
rathole, inside and out
The suggestion delighted All en-, ard
little Nathan was called in and ques,
toned.
'I'll go, sir.' he said at once. 81
know the way to Delaplace's quar-.
tiers, too, if you would want to find
him."
Delaplace was the com maudaut, and
OF course the very person whom Allen
wanted.
The spoil that fell into the a pds of
the visitors amply repaid them for all
the dangers they had faced, and the
fort remain ed in the bands of the Amer
leans until many me nths later, when it
was abandoned and dismantled by Gen
eral ST. Clair.
The little party crossed the lake in
such boats as were at hand. The oars
wers dipped silently in the staris wa
ter, and no one spoke above a whisper.
Morning was nearly3at hand, and SO
much precious time had been lost that
every moment had to be put to use.
When the patriots reached the op-
posite shore, the commander turned TO
Nathan Beman and, lying his hand up
on his shoulder, said quickly:
"We're ready now. Show US the
way to the sallyport.''
Guided by the farmers son, the
mountaipeers moved toward the fort
and, coming suddenly upon a sentry,
heard the swapping of the fuselock and
saw him run through covered way
within the walls.

"Quck!' cried the boy, looking up
at Allen, and the soldiers sprang after
the guide and made their way to the
parade ground unopposed.
The enthusiasm of the patriots now
broke forth in sounds of victory,
which. reaching the ears of the British
soldiers, caused them to spring from
their pallets and rush from the bar
racks, only to be made prisoners Is
they appeared. Never was q surprise
more compile .e, thanks to Nathan Be-
man.
When Allen had secured most of
the garrison, he asked the boy to show
the way to the commandments rooms,
and the two were soon running up the
steps leading to them.

Of the boy heroes of the revolution,
Nathan Bemsn. In the spring of 1775
he lived with his father. a farmer, near
the village of Shoreham, VIII Oh was
opposite Fort Ticonderogs.
Farmer Beman was an American,
devoted to the cause. Being of a row.

than had often crossed the lake and
formed the acquaintance of the boys
whose fathers composed the garrison.
The little fellows had fine times un-
der the walls of the fort, ard every
now and then Nathan went inside and
saw how things were moving along
there.
In the month of May Ethan Allen, at
the head of the famous Green Noun
tain boys, came up through the forest
to surprise and capture, if p ssible, the
fort and its garrison.
The expedition with which Benedict
Arnold was connected was composed Of
three divisions, one of which was to
capture some boats at Skenesboro aud
send them down the lake to Allen and
his men, who were to get them at
ShOreham, but when the renowned
Green mountain leader reached the
latter village, in nighttime, not a single
beat awaited him.
THIS was bitter disappointment, for
Allen had but SO men with him, and
his position was one of great hazard.

A Book of Photographs.

A new way of max ing up q number
of pictures into bt ok form is to print
them on paper enough larger than the
pictures to leave q vide margin, and
instead of noun ting them on boards,
to make them up into q book, ue1ng
heavy water color paper for the covers.
Bromide and platinOtype papers are
the best for this purpose, - they are
of firm texture, aid do not curl or
crack il left uamounted. Ii the anna
teur has aver used either OF these,

directions given, the platiootype will
he found the easier paper to manage.
For 4x5 or 5x7 pictures paper 6txot Is
q good size. Piatinotype paper or
bromide paper of this size costs COM
paratively little. In order to have a
margin all around the picture the ex-
ira paper must be covered with nom
actinic paper made into what is called
a mask. Take q piece OF black needle
paper little larger than the sheet OF
sensitive paper, and in the centre cut
al opening the exact size the picture
is to be when printed. 1t should be
small enough to cover the edges OF the
negative and hiGe such portions as are
not an addition to the picture. At
tach this mask to the film side OF the
picture by adhesive strips, which may
be bought ready gummed for use. In
placing the sensitive paper over the
negative it shOu d be arranged 30 that
the print will come half an inch nearer
to what is to be the front edge OF the
book. The picture will theu be in the
centre of the page when the leaves are
bound together. Do not have the
pictures the same size and shape. 1t

moved with them to Alexandria, Va. y,
near the close of the war; attended
private school for some years in that
city. Having finished up the course in
the schools there, and desiring = more
extended knowledge of books and
things in general, he obtained the con-
sent of his parents to attend some 9TH
er school that could better fit him for
the stern realities OF life. he selected
Howard University, which school he
attended with credit to both the school
and himself, making friends on all
sides until 1882, when he graduated
from the Medical College of that In
stitution. During the latter part OF
| his school life, he took q very active
part in politics and for several years
was . member of the State Committee,
and at the same time, was the repre-
sentative of the Sth District (compris-
ling eleven counties) as q member Ui

Montego Bay, Jamaica, May 25.-The
waters south of Cuba have suddenly
become the scene of great naval ac-
tivity. Commodore Schley, who left
Key West last Thursday with the Uni

and Texas, the armored cruiser Brook
lyn and the armed yacht Scorpion, is
believed to be cruising OF Cienfuegos
and Santiago de Cuba.
When the newspaper dispatch boat
Dandy left Key West last Friday
morning Admiral Sampson was still
there. II was the opinion of naval
officers that he would sail for Cienfue-
gOs soon by the eastern route, the two
fleets thus completing the circle OF
Cuba.
The battleship Iowa followed Com
modore Schley on Friday, but was
overtaken of Cape San Antonio on
Saturday by the torpedo boat Dupont

Closing Exercises.

The closing exercises of Mrs. Fannie

school House, Hanover Co., Va. The
patrons of the school were very much
pleased with the exercises and spoke in
very complimentary terms Of the
teacher for her pains and training
which she took with the children.
All joined in saying that it. was the
finest closing they had ever witnessed d
in the neighborhood. The society of
the neighborhood furnished the school
with their band. The march was taken
up from the residence of the teacher
and ended at the school-house.
The girls were attired in white and
the boys wore evergreen and cedar.
After the exercises the scholars ac-
companied the teacher TO her resi-

quarters at Tampa and at the docks
of Port Tampa The long weary weeks
OF drilling In the blazing sun and
sitting dust OF southern Florida will
soon be but a memory In the minds OF
those engaged. Every soldier in Tampa
from the highest officer to the aw re-
cruits is watching with an interest al
most painful in its intensity for news
from the fleets. In the minds Of all
is the settled conviction that the hour
when news OF q battle between Samp-
son and Schley and Cervera Is re-
ceived at Washington will mark the
time for the issuance OF orders to en-
bark, and that this IL a matter OF a

Romigno Saperero Jimenez, VINO was
among those captured on the steamer
Panama, and has since been hello
aboard ship as a prisoner OF war. He
is supposed to have obtained informa-
tion concerning New York harbor and
It's defenses, With charts OF the harbor,
which he is attempting TO get to Span
ish authorities. He Is about 40 years
OF age, q Spaniard and a civil en-
gineer.
Late yesterday afternoon Marshal
Hoar, with several deputies and Uni
ted States Commissioner Otto. received
information from the north, in conse-
quence of which they slipped quietly
out to the Panama, arrested Jiminez
and brought him ashore. He was taken
to the Key West hotel and put through
vigorous examination in a private
room. So quietly was the affair man
aged, however, that only one or two
persons knew OF 1t.
Jimenez stoutly denies the accuss-
tion that he is a spy, but his story was
! of such q contradictory nature that
1t confirmed the suspicious OF the fed
/ eral authorities. He said he had left
Cuba IN 1877. date which he subse-
| quently corrected to 1890. and later
set it back a few years. He had lived
he admitted, In New York since then
but he decided to return to Cuba Il
engage in mercantile business, and wa
on his way there when the Panams
was captured. He asserted also tha
he had spent considerable time il
Venezuela and other South American
countries. his story, though, was s.
conflicting on the whole as to be mean
ingless. A thorough search OF tn
Panama was made In the attempt t
locate the charts. but no trace OF ther
could be found. The examination wi
be resumed. and Jimenez will be hel
under arrest In the meanwhile.
