But when ii comes to dickering with
Spain as to these Jack Tars at so much
per head, the American Government
has nothing to go by. She knows what
they did under Paul Jones on Lake
Erie and under Capt. Lawrence on
Lake Champlain. and she may guess
their fighting value when she recalls
the history of the Merrimac and the
Monitor and the kearsarge and the
Alabama. In those days, however. a
mans status in international disputes
was not gagged in greenbaCks, and
when he was killed his country did not
think it all sufficient that they should
erect a dollar mark over him for
monument. They usually enlisted
another man in his place and started
him out with a bullet in his musket
for the enemy who had spilled the
blood that was then the common blood
of all.
1t is a little difficult to imagine
George Washington and King George
" fishing up the bodies of drowned
marines and feeling of the water-sOak-
ed uniforms to see what both sides had
lost in battle. And vet uniforms cost
more in those days than they do now.
1t is a little difficult to imagine George
Washington saying to his good old
enemy: We'll. your majesty. I'll take
6 1 100 s and Sd for all this. but | must
insist that you throw in an apology"
And We can all guess with what salts
faction the brave people on both sides
at that time would have accepted the
announcement of so amicable q settle
ment!

Some Serious Moral Reflections.

From the Atlanta Constitution
There are many of us who do not
like to look upon the picture which the
newspaper correspondents have paint
ed. 1t does not seem right 10 a few OF
us. whose ideas are still old-fashioned.
to watch President Mckinley and
Senior Sagasta disputing over the cost
Of the Maine and cOntending over the
value, in cold dollars. Of the $50 fight
ing American marines who went down
with her. Some of those marines are
not even buried yet. and We would
rather call the whole thing off than
continue the dickeT. But the ROths-
childs stand by the senior jingIing their
gold. and back of McKinley's chair
stand Senator Hanna and Senator
Hale, watching with hungry eyes every
detail of the game as it proceeds. They
want to see that the honor OF their
country, which they have placed ar not
less than $l4,5O0. 900. is maintained.
1t is pretty hard just now to figure
on the value of the life Of a Jack Tar.
For the most part they are reckless
fellows who have dTifted so far from
home that they have no home at all,
and lot Of them are guiltless Of ever
having been born in this country
Some of them are brave men. some
are reasonably patriotic. and some go
into the thing just for the money and
the fun that is in il. But they'll all
fight and they all wear the same uni
form. and they all hope for war, be-
cause war is their only profession. and
they are anxious that their ship should
show what she can do. Among the
whole lot there isn't one who does not
really love his ship above himself and
who wouldn't defend her in honorable
warfare until there was nothing left
to defend. Among the whole lot there
isn't one who would not bet whole
years pay that his ship can and would
whip any other ship afiOat.

The Bulldog q Good Dog.

No member Of the canine family has
been more persistently maligned than
the bulldog. Writers who have no in
innate knowledge Of the dog and his at
tributes have described him as stupidity
ferocious, and illustrators have pictured
him as sort of semiwild beast, till the
general public has come to look upon
him as dangerous. 6 ],
:, '"'Give a dog a bad name,'' is an old
saw, and perhaps a true one, but when
it is applied to the bulldog it is mani
testify unjust. Writers, too, have fallen
into grave error in claiming that the
bulldog is deficient not only in affeo-
ton, but in intelligence
- Stonehenge, who is considered one Of
the greatest Of canine. scientists, claims
that the bulldogs brain is relatively
larger than that Of the spaniel, which
dog is generally considered to be the
most intelligent of the canine race,
while the bulldogs affection is never to
be doubted. 49, Outing.

The whole was kept in a large iron cup

Eugene was then college freshman,
and, having procured skeleton key to
the closet, with his friends, Adolphe,
Adam, Veron and others, proceeded
every night to investigate the contents
of the bottles. Not wishing to have
their explorations prematurely stopped,
they took the precaution to fill up the
partially exhausted TASKS with water
and then to reseal them When, for q
long time afterward, the doctor brought
forth samples Of his precious stock for

and the company tasted it with q due

the celebrity Of these great brands was

nobody dared to say SO, and it was only
after the death Of his dreaded parent
that the novelist confessed the sacrilege.

in brown jeans, with his trousers tuck

had smiled at her.

regular passenger coach found the Green

Upon arriving at the anteroom Of the.

Der, naming on it the precise hour Of,

hospitality being probably the same in
this respect throughout the legislative
halls of the world. At last M. Talan-

the corps diplomatique. The chamber
itself was more like our representatives
hall at Washington than like the house
Of commons. The members had little
locked desks, and some were writing
letters, like our representatives though
l saw no newspapers. <'$.
The ordinary amount of noise was
like that in our congress, though there
was happily no clapping Of hands for
pages, but when the members became
especially excited, which indeed hap
pened very often, it became like a cage
OF lions. For instance, entered just as
somebody had questioned the minister
Of war, General Borel, about an alleged
interference with elections, and his de-
fiant reply had enraged the Lefts, or
radicals, who constituted the majority
OF the assembly. They shouted and ges.
tlculated, throwing up their arms and
then slapping them on their knees very
angrily, until the president rang his
great bell, and they quieted down lest
he might put on his hat and adjourn
the meeting. In each case the member
speaking took his stand in the desk or
tribune below the president, and the
speeches were sometimes read, some
times given without notes.
The war minister, a stout, red faced
man-always, the radicals say, half in
toxicated- stood with folded arms and
looked ready for coup d'etat, yet
heard it said about me that he would be
compelled either to retreat or resign.

founder political differences must be in

THINKING ALOUD.
4 Ruse Which Reused Lord Dudley and
Formed Friendship.

4 Ruse Which Reused Lord Dudley and
Formed . Friendship.
One Of the earls Of Dudley, who was
addicted to the practice Of thinking
aloud, found himself in very awkward
predicament on certain occasion, if
story told Of him may be credited. He
was to spend the evening at the house
of a friend and ordered his carriage
early, as be bad long drive back to his
own home.
When the hour arrived, the carriage
was not forthcoming. Seeing that Lord
Dudley was considerably annoyed by
the delay, one Of the guests, whose way
homeward lay past his lordship's house,
politely offered him a seat in his car
riage. The gentleman was almost a
stranger to Lord Dudley, but the offer
was accepted.
The drive did not prove very So
ciable one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and Immediately relapsed into silence,
his thoughts apparently engrossed by
some unpleasant subject. Presently he
began to speak in low, but distinctly
audible tone Of voice, and his compan-
ion,. to his establishment, heard him say {:
"I'm very sorry accepted his offer.
I don't know the man. It was civil GER
tainly, but the worst is suppose I
must ask him to dinner" ."&
Silence followed this bit of audible
thinking. His lordship was unaware
that be had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon the
same unpleasant subject when the voice
of his companion broke the stiffness.
Apparently this stranger was afflicted
with the same malady from which his
lordship suffered, for he exactly imitat-
ed Lord Dudley's tone as he said:
perhaps he'll think I did it to make
his acquaintance. Why, I would have
done the same to any farmer on his
estate. I hope he won't ask me to din
ner, for shan't accept his invitation. -
Lord Dudley's abstraction was all
gone. He listened to the others words,
Immediately comprehending the joke
against himself, and frankly offered his
hand to his companion, making many
apologies for his involuntary rudeness
The stranger proved magnanimous,
and from that night the two became
fast friends. Youth's Companion.
