Memories of a Rear Admiral.

tired). Admiral Franklin has Travelled
pretty well over the globe by land and
sea, and met g large number of nota-
bilities. One cannot help thinking what
a pity it is that he does not hold the
picturesque pen of q special CORE
spondent. Give Mr.. Richard Harding
Davis, for instance, the opportunities
Of a United States admiral, and he
would keep the presses Of his publishers
hot with the telling tales he would put
forth to be purchased by an admiring
world, instead Of condensing, as Adj
niral Franklin has done, fifty years Of
exciting sightseeing into a modest, If
portly volume, in whose pages incidents
are packed as closely as sardines in a
sardine box. It goes without saying
that this process of condensation is
carried so far as to irritats the reader,
who wishes that the writer would oc-
casiorally spread himself" and real1v
enter into the task of describing with
living words some Of the interesting
things he passes over so dryly How
ever, the men who can tell about things
are rarely the men to whom they hap
pen. And literary facility is not by any
means the most necessary quality in
a naval officer.

interesting to come across illusions to
other times when difficulties with Spain
have been averted. In 1874, for in

which enliven the volume is one Of a
German naval officer, who was asked
by Admiral Franklin one day, when
the latter was out for a walk, how to

three public houses between where we
stood and the point I desired to reach.

for she must feel that all these virtues must

perhaps the most difficult attribute for q

snatching the little fellow up, running to the
window. showing a favorite picture or
something to divert its attention. will lovingly
teach the little to be brave.
AS the harder bumps come to the little life,
the being brave will grow upon him until
in later life he is prepared to face the more
serious distractions in his path with a brave
heart and a dependence upon self, when no
mothers hand guide him through. The
great trouble in the homes Of today is the
arbitrary controlling of the child by the par

own responsibility, when the suitable age APP
