Judge, opening from the Fed
eral Court room. AS Captain
Sampson, Captain Chadwick
and Lieutenant Commander
Potter, resplendent in their
full uniforms, walked over
from the Naval Stores build

which adjoins it, their digni-
fled bearing was that of Off

measure the magnitude of the
responsibility resting upon
them.
Lieutenant Commander Ma

later, and the court prepared
to resume its sessions. The
apartments devoted to the
Naval Court are directly

already thronged the corri-

the importance of the occa-

Everybody showed a dis

of the court and all kept at
a respectful distance from the

DID IT HURT YOU?

The old hymn in Sam Taylor's Original Poems" beginning with ''Who Ran to Help Me When I Fell?" ought to have provisional clause added to it. The person who hastens to help suf ferer who has been shocked by fall should not say single word. Of course, says the Philadelphia Record, the benevolent bystander is brimful of questions: Where are you hurt?''
 Have you sprained your anl1le?" and lastly the insane request to know whether you can fall down fight of % steps or from p azza fsn fcet above ground and not be danaGcl any more than if you had thrown yourself cn down pillow only foot away! Of course you are hurt; and the nerve shock is so great that any sort of ques- ton, even if ''they" shall fetch hot wa ter, is an additional blow to the nervous system. You are suffering, perhaps. too much to speak; yet they pelt you with questions while every power of your body is endeavoring to regain self control. You ought not to answer. You would like to scream that ''it HUI oo d tiIIeS ulOTe lOT OeluS summoned to speak and to diagnose yourself. All instructions in the line of First aid to the injured'' should begin with: ''Be perfectly silent when you run to lift CT help q person who has fallen and is still partly dazed with the tremendous shock Let it be for the sufferer to say: "Oh, my head." or 'Oh, my leg, or back" He will indicate as soon as it is necessary the injured part; but meanwhile you are driving him nearly frantic by asking about it. These simple yet important directions do not seem to be impressed upon the average helpful mind. Tact, of all things, is as necessary as a knowledge of tourniquet made from a stick and pocket handkerchief. Hot water. of course, is required for all bruises and sprains; but let it be brought without asking. The relief to the victim of an accident in having swift and noiseless helpers about him or rher-absolutely si- lent, yet knowing exactly what to do- is very great. Anyone who ''has been there" knows it all. Yet how quickly is it forgotten when we run to lift up somebody else, and begin to pelt him with: 'Where did it hurt you?" "Are you hurt?"

TO LEARN A LANGUAGE.

Some students begin a language for the mere love of knowing foreign tongues; others acquire them either for professional purposes or with the aim of gaining access to foreign literatures.
 But whatever be the motive, the Bos- ton Herald suggests that it is well to set out with some knowledge of the sci ence of language-some insight into the relations of languages to one another some grasp of the theories of modern scholars about the origin and develop( ment of speech.
 To learn language without knowing anything of the science of language is like acquiring the art of putting up cleo tric fixtures without any knowledge of the principles of electrical science
 To approach it, on the other hand, from the standpoint of universal princi- ples is to make the study of it easier and progress in any particular tongue much more rapid.
 By knowing, for example, the laws of consonantal interchange we may often discover the meanings of words without being obliged to refer for them to the dictionary. In this way every new lan- guage learned makes more easy the ac- quirement of other tongues of the same or of all allied stocks.

SUNSHINE AND HEALTH.

A merchant noticed, in the progress of years, that each successive book keeper gradually lost his health and finally died of consumption, however vigorous and robust he was on entering his service At length it occurred to him that the little rear room where the books were kept opened in a back yard so surrounded by high walls that no sunshine came into it from one years end to another. An upper room, well lighted, was immediately prepared, and his clerks had uniform good health ever after.
 A familiar case to general readers is derived from medical works. where an entire family became ill, and all reme- dies seemed to fail of their usual results, when accidentally a window glass of the family room was broken, in cold weather. It was not repaired, and forthwith there was marked improve ment in the health of the inmates. The physician at once traced the connection, discontinued his medicines, and or dered that the window pane should not be replaced.
 A French lady became i'll. The most eminent physicians of her time were called in. but failed to restore her. At length Dupuytren, the Napoleon of physics, was consulted. He noticed that she lived in dim room, into which the sun never shone, the house being situated in one of the narrow streets, CT, rather, lanes of Paris. He at once ordered more airy and cheerful apart ments, and "all her complaints van- ished."
 The lungs of dog become tuber- culated {consu11ptive) in few weeks If kept confined in @ dark cellar. The most common plant grows spindiy, pale it. The greatest medical names in France, of the last century, regarded sunshine and pure air as equal agents in restoring and maintainin" health.
 From these facts, which cannot be disputed, the most common mind should conclude that cellars and rooms on the northern side of buildings, or apartments into which the sun does not immediately shine. should never be oc- cupied as family rooms or chambers, or as libraries or studies. Such apart ments are only fit for purposes which never require persons to remain in them over a few minutes at q time. And every intelligent and humane parent will arrange that the living-room and the bedrooms shall be the most commo- dious, iightest and brightest apart mentS in his dUelliDp

glass, whether the toughest and most
ordinary looking man. possessing even
a bit Of sense or feeling, does not know
the difference between y big hearted,
gracious, loving woman and one who
is coarse in appearance, lacking in love
and all the charming attributes that
make one say, ''She is n gcntlewoman. y
l wonder if you think, as | do, that
gcntlewoman is one who likes to make
people glad to meet her and regret to
leave her? She seems to me to be one
who gives courage to those who are
tired and to quiet that loud, unpleas-
ant argument, changing it into inter-
esting talk. 1t is talent seldom pos
sessed by men and an art belonging to
women.
1t was an old fashioned writer, one
who in our girlhood's days we thought
the best of all, Maria Edgeworth, who
said, Every one who makes goodness
unpleasant commits high treason
against virtue" Not one of us is too
poor to give the cup of cold water, and
1t is not always nectar for which one
longs. Sometimes that is too sweet.
Sometimes it seems to lack the purity
that comes in the clear, colorless liquid
that brings health and happiness. Oh,

good things --temperately.
The man that eats too much is never
called by the name that he deserves

The woman who overdresses does not
get her name-a fool.
The man, or woman either, who
talks too much does not receive the
title that each has earned-that of
bore, while the impudent children do
not find it as blessing(?) for bad be-
havior the outward, moral sign of the
inward condemnation.
No, few of us are temperate, and yet
that is the art of living. 1t is worth
while to think it all out. Because when
you know how to live you know how
to die, and that is the, art of arts, fol

THREE BOATS ON SHORE.
A Tug and Two scows caughr In the storm

A Tug and Two scows Caughr In the Storm
at the Mouth OF the Appoqainimink.
The storm and high tide Tuesday week
did great damage to the equipment
of Egan q Bachman of Charleston, s.
c., who are dredging in Appoquini-
mink River. At about noon on that
day, as the tug Ivanhoe, with two
scows which had been attending the
dredge, were proceeding down the
Delaware River, having deposited
some material from the Appoquini-
mink, an effort was made to enter the
mouth of the Appoquinimink at the
time when the tide was at its highest
point.
The tug and scows had been pro-
ceeding down the river on the New
Jersey side, but crossed over and just
as the mouth of the smaller stream was
reached high seas caught them and
washed all three of the boats on the
marshes. The men at that point sue
ceeded, after hard work, in floating the
tug and one of the scows, but the other
scow was fast and the tide soon went
down, leaving it high up on shore, fully
% feet away from the water at ordi-
nary high tide.
1t became necessary to dig a
canal to get the boat out. All of the
men on the boats stuck to their posts
on the eventful day and nobody was
injured. The boats were not badly dam
aged. ec

FRIDAY NIGHTS FIRE.


a. q. Taylor's Barn and Paintsbo Destroyed
and dwelling Damased-
Fire, shortly after O'Clock on Fri
day, destroyed the barn and paint shop
and extensively damaged the dwelling
of Andrew G. Taylor on the New Castle
causeway, near Garesche's lane. All
the buildings were of frame. The re-
Election of the fire gave an impression
of very large conhagration and many
persons started for the scene, but only
the moro venturesome ones reached it,
for the reason that wide stretch of
water on the causeway made wading
necessary. The water was handy for
the fire apparatus, but it put the
roadway in bad condition SO that fire
horses had to be directed with especial
care to prevent accident. This state
of affairs was largely due to the high
tides in the Christiana. The alarm
had been struck by Officer W. J.
Massey from box No. Al. Although it
did not sound correctly from the City
Hall tower, it was properly received
at the enginehouses. After the engines
reached the scene the fire was soon
under control. The origin of the fire
is unknown. The loss is placed at
about 50, 500 fully covered by insurance.
