A young applicant for the Naval Academy was rejected by the examin- CTS because, while he passed a good ex- animation on the sO-called higher stud les, he was lamentably deficient in plain arithmetic and spelling. In school, as in politics and commerce, it is the fundamental principles that count. Master those and the rest are assured. Prof William James of Harvard tells in tha Boston Herald how he passed an examination in anatomy before Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes. The first question put to him was about the ne~ros 7f he base Cf ihc brain. T. so happened that Mir. James was we'll up In that subject, and he promptly gave an exhaustive reply. "Oh, we'll, if you know that, you know everything," said Dr. Holmes, cheerfully. Let us talk about something else. How are all your people at home?"

Picturesque Millinery.

The reappearance of large gainsbor ough hats in chip and delicate fancy braids, freighted with soft, dropping plumes in white, pale pink. mauve and black, and the wonderful exhibit of airy muslins and lace shoulder capes and tichus of every conceivable style and length, says New York fashion writ CT, bespeaks in advance summer of ex- ceedingly poetic and picturesque styles The new large round hats have nothing of the gaudy, overlooked appearance of the hats of the past winter, as a few loops of broad, lustrous satin ribbon and glittering jeweled ornament of some description are the only additional garnitures used with the plumes thus far.

There are six rear admiralS In active service. The offices of vice admiral and admiral are unified, so there is no head of the navy excepting Secretary Long.
 Our battle ships have a speed of from fifteen to seventeen knots an hour. Cruisers make nineteen to twenty-four knots, while the monitors can travel only five to seven knots.
 Barnacles form on the hull of a ship, impeding its speed. A six months cruise will decrease the speed of ship 15 per cent, and 1t must go into dry dock.
 Sixty-one merchant vessels belong to the auxiliary navy. These ships are subsidized and by contract must be given to the United States on demand.
 Some of the guns in the navy can fire shot twelve miles, farther than man can see, for the guns are aimed and sighted by machinery.
 The amount expended by the navy department in 1897 was $34, ,561 ,546. This Is larger sum than has been ex- pended in any year since 1866.
 In battle the woodwork and artI- cles of wood are either slowed below or thrown overheard lest the men be injured by splinters.
 The origin of the navy department may be said to date from Oct 13, 1775, when Congress authorized the equip ment of two cruisers.
 The fastest vessels in the navy are the torpedo boats Porter and Dupont, each of which can travel 27.5 knots an hour.
 Battle ships cost from $2,50O,O00 to $3, 75O,OO0, and cruisers from $6OO,OOO to $3,OOO,0OO. A good torpedo boat costs over $1OO,OOO.

In reply, Attorney General Bishop

A PECULIAR FACT.
of People Have Dyspepsia
In Its Worst Form and Do Not
Know It.

A weak stomach is the cause of about
nine-tenths of all disease, yet IN most
cases the wrong thing is treated ana
the true cause overlooked.
This is because a weak digestion pro-
duces symptoms resembling nearly
every disease because it weakens and
disturbs the action of every nerve and
organ in the body; poor digestion
causes heart trouble, kidney troubles,
lung weakness and especially nervous
breakdown or nervous prostration, the
nerves cannot stand the wear and tear
unless generously fed by well digested,
wholesome food
Keep the digestion good and no one
need fear the approach of disease
Mrs H NJ. Lee of Rochester, n. Y,
writes: For the sake of suffering hu-
mainly 1 want to say that from child
l had a very weak stomach, threw up
my food very often after eating, ana
after few years nervous dyspepsia
resulted. and for more than 20 years
1 have suffered inexpressibly.

tised remedies with only temporary re-
lief for nervous dyspepsia and not I'M
til l commenced taking Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets last September, six
months ago, have l been free from suf-

believe surest cure for stomach and
nerve troubles. l write my honest
opinion and 1 will gladly answer any
letter of inquiry at any time, and feel
that 1 am, in my small way, helping
on a good cause.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is not a
patent medicine, but they contain only
the fruit salts, digestive acids and pep
tones necessary to help the weak
stomach to promptly and thoroughly
digest food.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at 80 cents for full sized pack

JUDGMENT FOR DEFENDANT.
In Case of Raht Us. Sewer Mining
and Milling Company.


and Milling Company.
Judge Hiles yesterday rendered
Judgment in the case of William L.
Rant vs.. the Sewer Mining and Milling
company ct al, which was tried and
taken under Amusement a lew days
ago. His honor found the issues for the
defendants.
The olaintiff sued to have sale of
15.009 shares of the capital stock of the
company set aside and annuled, and
the issuance of transfer of some of the
shares to Charles Lammersdorf, one OF
the defendants, cancelled on the ground
that the assessment under which the
stock was sold in 1893 was void.
His honor found that the plaintiff
knew OF the assessment and sale, and
made no objection to either, but, on the
contrary, as a director of the company,
consented TO the assessment; also, if he
had any ground for complaint he was
guilty of laches, in not Directing to the
sale and prosecuting his action sooner,
which his honor also found was barred
by the statute of limitations.
THE case which the plaintiff pre-
sents." says the court, lis one where a
party lies by to see whether a mining
venture shall prove profitable to deter
mine whether he will participate fur
Their as q stakeholder in the corpora
ton, or will disclaim and disavow that
relation. The evidence shows that
plaintiff came to the conclusion in 1897
that Il would be profitable for him to
still claim 10 be a stakeholder in the
corporation, and to repudiate and dis
avOw his own action in procuring what
