No Need for Grace.


A tiny girl of seven or therea-

and that number of small maidens
sat down to dine. 1t was real lit

to do everything as it shonld be

No. said mamma, sit will be a

In connection with the ordnance inven-
tons of Observation-Disclosures Admiral
--Dahlgren; an amusing instance is told Of
how a young naval officer, Lieutenant
Wise, frustrated the scheme of an English
navy officer to get the plan of the new
cannon, just then a matter of extreme in
terest to other nations. Lieutenant Wise
had been detailed by the government to
inspect the making of the cannon at the
foundry of Alger, in Boston:
! Yesterday received a visit from Cap
tain G., r. A. He made no kind of bones
of asking for look at the drawings, but
I regretted extremely they were locked
up in the iron safe, and Mr.. Alger kept
the key"
He was very tnquisitive and evidently
taking mental notes. After awhile was
called out to the machine shop, and when
got back to the office found my royal
artilleryman gone, SO put into the foun-
dry, and there discovered him very busy
measuring the diameters of the II inch
patternl
The instrument he used for this opera
ton was white grapevine stick he car
ried. He desisted, however, as l approach
ed, and then 1 started him out of the
works 1t was late in the afternoon, and
/ accompanied him back to the city and
introduced him to the club. There Sc
cretly secured that remarkable stick and
upon examination discovered four dis
tinct notches. These 1 carefully pared off
with a knife and notched like number
about four inches farther down.
1t will be a wonderful gun to go on q
bust with, if he ever has one made accord
ing to the dimensions gave him. He did
not discover my performance and went
away with many thanks for my atten-
tons, Youths Companion.

The West Texas Stockman calls
attention to the passing of The heavy
beef steer. The great, heavy, full
grown bullock OF FIVE or six years
ago, Weighing from 1900 to 1000
pounds, is no longer wanted. There
may yet remain some chance to sci
him to the beef Gamers, who want
cheap, strong, coarse meat for ex-
port, but our home people have
learned better. They now want a
a steer not exceeding 1900 pounds
in weight and all ready for market
at thirty months old. These results
can't be got out of scrub stock.
They may get the weight, but it will
be in the wrong place, and the differ
ence in price from one to three cents
per pound. The demand now is for
the small, well-rounded animal
whose white fat aud clear meat in
dictate breed rather then pounds.

Tho PhnologisS With an Attack of Ma.
laria and the intellectual Drug Clerk.
The philologist had an attack of malaria
He went to the intellectual drug clerk and
remarked:
"Will you kindly put me up ten five
grain pills of owi-nainP'
The drug clerk, with the nonchalant
confidence of his kind, answered:
Ten five grain pills of ki-nin2 Ger
tainly."
''No; not ki-nin, said the philologist,
"but cwai -neen."
II thought you said owi-nain.'
ono. You misunderstood me. I said
cwin-in, . answered the philologist.
''Ahl / stand corrected. We have been
IN the habit Of calling it ki-nin among the
profession. J"
Have you? When went to school, the
proper pronunciation was cwai-nain, or ii
may have been cwi-nine. -
The intellectual drug clerk looked puz-
zled. He apparently suspected that he was
being guyed. He attempted to create a
diversion by suggesting that the philolo-
gist might find the-ah-the--ki-nin
more effective in the form of capsules The
philologist said:
81 have been in the habit of taking my
cwin-ain in the form of pills.
"You may have 1t any way you like,
professor, and you may call 1t whatever
you please, said the drug clerk as he
bowed with an expression that indicated
that he felt himself somewhat crushed.
"Well, I'll call it cwin-ain. But you
can call it almost any old thing and you
will be pretty sure to be right, according
to somebody who has made dictionary in
the last so years. If it works in as many
different ways as it is pronounced, will
either be killed or cured before morning. :"
Then the philologist laughed and said,
"It's a great word" and the drug clerk
murmured "And a great medicine. I"
Later they were seen behind the prescrip.
ton desk discussing something that usu-
ally is absorbed with quinine and is gen.
orally pronounced excellent.-New York

No man is better known or moro gener-
ally beloved in the city in which he lives
than Professor Adam Hendershott His
conversation is quito devoid of bitterness.
Only once was he ever known to say any
thing indicating even the slightest trace
of i'll temper. Travelling downward on a
suburban trolley line to call upon friend,
he asked the conductor to transfer him to
the city street cars at a certain point.
Soon afterward the car stopped, and he
was surprised to sec outside the very friend
he was seeking. He started to leave the
car, but the conductor accosted him.
You can't change for your car here, -
he said brusquely. eco backf'
The professor passed him, taking no no.
tice.
Cant change cars here, tell you,
snapped the conductor again.
Professor Hendershott, deep in CONVEX
sation with his friend, merely waved his
hand to signify that the car might go Oh
without him.
Here, you old jayp' cried the man
with the brass buttons angrily. "Don't I
tell you that you CAM change cars at this
station?r

severity, but / can change my mind at

Japan,s Growing Power.

The western powers are beginning to
view Japan's activity in navy building
with amazement. A generation ago she
had literally no navy. Even at the begin
ming of the last war with China her mod
ern equipment was confined almost exclu-
sively to half dozen unarmored cruisers
the best of their class, to be sure-and
Is gunboats. The war brought many sub,
stantial additions to her navy and now
she has no less than 48 seagoing vessels In
commission, including two first class bat
tleships of IL, 800 tons each. These figures
are not SO imposing, absolutely considered,
except as an evidence Of quick growth,
But the additional modern war vessels
that Japan is building in England Ger.
many and the United States are of such
magnitude and excellent construction that
Mr.. Charles A. Cramp, our own famous
shipbuilder, pronounoes Japan's progress
to be more notable than that of any other
country in the world except England. -

A HISTORIC KEY.
1t wss Thrown Into Loeb Leven When
Queen Mary Escaped.

II Was Thrown Into Loeh Leven when
Queen Mary Escaped.
This interesting key of Loeb Leyen cas-
tie is still in existence, 1t was found In
the lake, and is supposed to have been the
one thrown in by the young Douglas when
Mary queen OF Scots, made her escape
The key was originally in the possession
Of William Hamper, Esq, who presented
it to Sir Walter Scott, having first had an
engraving made of it.
The castle of Loeb Leyen is situated on
an Island Of about two acres near the
northwest extremity of the lake. Queen
Mary, when she dismissed Boutwell, on
Carberry hill and joined the insurgents,
was carried captive into Edinburgh and
on the following day committed to Loeb
Leven castle. On the 25th of March,
1878, she attempted to escape thence in
the disguise of a laundress, but was frus-
trated.
On Monday, May 2, 1868, however,
while the family were at supper, the boy,
William Douglas, secured the keys of the
castle and gave egress to the queen and
her maid from the stronghold; then, lock-
ing the gates behind them to prevent pur-
suit, he placed the fugitives in boat that
lay near at hand and rowed them to the
appointed landing place on tho north side
of the lake.-Strand Magazine.

What can be done with it?
There it STAYS. 1t won't digest.

It clears the st mach of poisons

that this habit arises from a diseased

What the Bachelor Says.

No woman knows man till she
gets married, and no woman knows
men afterward.
No man has any idea how much
he stroked his beard till he has got
it shaved off.
Some old bachelors are dead, but
some other married men don't know
they're living.
The worst thing about love in a
man is the fear that some time he
may wake mp and not find it there.

NIichigan,a alag Act.n

1.-THE laws that are passed by some of
our state legislatures are absurd and
puerile in the extreme" said Mr.. G. L.
Milhous. "In Michigan there is statute
known in the cities as the jag act, under
the sweeping provisions of which an off,
cious policeman can bring almost any body
before the local courts. 1t mixes up all
sorts of offenses in way that would be
ludicrous If it were not harmful A man,
for instance, who threatens to leave his
wife and children is, by the act, disor-
DERBY person and subject to arrest; so
also is an innocent exhibitor Of Punch
and Judy show or rope or wire dance
performer, or the giver of drink to a
friend who has already had perhaps a few
smiles too many.
1.-THE trouble with law like this, which
the supreme court of the state has de-
clared constitutional, is that it may easily
become an instrument of persecution. 1t
may be employed as dragnet to enmesh
respectable citizens who thoughtlessly
violate some of its provisions. Domestic
infelicity might cause man while in bad
humor to threaten to abandon his home,
though he really cherishes no such pur-
pose. My theory is that legislation in
tended to regulate the morals of people
is out of place in the closing years of the
nineteenth century. Washington Post.

The Law Of Blockade.


q'sscre IRE complexities ID the law
u 30 kades, bnt its essentials are
simple enough.
A blockade mus be pr, claimed so
that ships of all nationaliiies may be
notified of its existence.
Ships already at sea when procla-I
nation is made must upon arrest be
notified and permitted to depart for
some other than the blockaded port.
Until such notice the ship is not
liable to capture.
Ships so notified ard all ships
sailing after proclamation of block
ade has been made are liable to cap
ture upon attempting TO pass the
blockade.
In case of capture they and their
cargoes are confscate, but neither
their officers nor seamen, il the ship
carries a neutral flag, are subject to
any other penalty. They are guilty
OF no crime.
No neutral nation is bound to
respect any blockade till it has been
made effective. II it is not SO, neu-
trails resent and resist the seizure of
their ships attempting to trade with
paper blockaded ports.
Ships of the enemy are subject to
capture anywhere at sea, without
reference to the ports from or to
which they are going. Neutral ships
are subject to capture only when
trying to break the blockage.
