blockade running:

sailing-vessels. were used for this
trade; but as the stringency OF the
blockade increased. steamers better fit

The captain OF a successful blockade
runner needed to be a thorough sea-
man and a skilful navigator. His work
required boldness. decision In emergen-
cies, and the faculty of commanding
and inspiring the confidence OF his
crew. There were captains who ran in

FINGER NAIL BITING.
1t 10 . Hereditary Habit and Very
D.nlc ult 20 Eradicate.

"Non-believers in the doctrine of the
transmission of hereditary instincts are
brought to standstill when they are
confronted with such an indisputable
fact that the finger-nail- biting habit
is. in nine cases out OF ten. handed
down to the children Of those addicted
TO it," said a physician TO a Washing
ton Star man. II have for nearly ten
years watched this thing carefully, and
in almost every case where a parent,
either father or mother has been a fin
ger-nail-biter j have found that the
children have at a very early age nat
urally fallen into the same practice.
The chief finger-nail-chewers of the
world are the French, and IL was re-
Gently stated. upon reliable authority,
that nearly two-thrds of French school
children are addicted to the habit.
French specialists who have made a
special study of the matter maintain
that the fingcr-nail-bitin habit is a
sort of nervous disease. and the French
educational authorities are about to take
steps to stop the habit among French
school children ] haven't heard yet
what they are going To DO about it,
but they have big contract on their
hands.
Even for crown people there is hard
ly any habit aside from the confirmed
abuse of narcotics. more difficult TO
overcome than the habit OF biting the
finger nails. Ii requires a strong men
tai effort and constant vigilance to do
this for once a person has become thor
oughly addicted to the habit he does IL
unconsciously. and is only reminded
that he is marring himself when he
gets one of his nails gnawed down 10
the quick.All manner OF remedies have
been advanced for the cure OF the fin
-nail-biting habit. Including the piac-
ing OF injurious and bitter compositions
on the ends of the fingers, but none OF
tho remedies amounts TO much.
THE only way To stop biting the fin-
ger nails is TO stop. which is the only
way TO stop drinking liquor. by the way.
The Americans are next TO the French

FINEST BICYCLE ROAD.

The road have in my mind. says a
writer jim Chambers Journal. Is i'm India
and stretches 1900 miles from Lahore
to Calcutta. 1t is in the famous Grand
Trunk Road. Let me explain its ma
ture, though one cannot do so by COM
parison, for there is no road of FIVE
miles in England that is anything like
1t. 1t is level; indeed, there is not
above q mile the whole distance where
even a lady need dismount to walk
Around Battersea Park is supposed to
be the easiest little spin in London.
The Grand Trunk road is infinitely SUI
perior to Battersea Park. The material
with which IL Is made is called bunker.
and IL you care to turn that word into
concrete, you have an idea of what 1t
is like. IL is exceedingly hard, and as
smooth as u prepared pavement. There
is no dust. When I first got on this
road and enjoyed the luxury OF easy
travelling. / said: This Is magnifl-
cent; but in little time / suppose il
will become gritty and uneven" 1 went

with not even a small stone to give a
jog. Nearly the whole of the way is
lined with a double row of majestic
trees. The concrete road runs like a
long white ribbon down the center. and
along each side are loose-soil tracks,
over which the native bullock carts
creak a slow two miles an hour
With two friends rode across India
during the hottest time OF the year, in
April and May. and was never serious
ly inconvenienced by the heat: for, at
n pace OF fifteen miles an hour one

What do the jacktars I'm the navy do
with all their money? has often been
asked. although most people have an
swered the question to their own salts
faction before hand by deciding that
they spent 1t the first chance they got.
Many of the younger or newer ones do
get rid of their cash at the first oppor-
tunity. but then they spend 1t them
selves and get their moneys worth.
Those who are really warm in their
following seldom take all their wages
from the paymaster. says the New
York Press. They let him keep it dur
ing the cruise and draw four per cent.
interest ON II Until the cruise is over.
Then, OF course, some spend II all be-
fore they go back to the ship. They
have good time all In lump, and
are satisfied TO wait for extravagant
days again until another cruise is over.
These are the men who have no one
except themselves to care for. While on
the man-of-war they need not go short
OF anything, and yet not use their
money. Moreover, they Will probably
attend to their duties better and have
much finer time when the cruise Is
at an end
Those who have wives or families or
relatives TO care for usually send their
money home regularly and faithfully.
Often, however, their confidence is
meaniy abused. Married men make up
this class. They send their wives COM
Portable incomes, and that is all these
wives care for them for. These are the
wives who married simply for what
there was In marriage IN money way,
with the additional advantage or con-
venience Of not having husband
around much. Unluckily for women OF
this class. not all jack tars can main
tain wives. Only chief petty officers or
first rate petty officers can afford the
luxury OF marriage. and even they
have TO watch out pretty keenly not to
impair the due 10 their better halves.
Many OF these better halves are adven-
turesses pure and simple, who make ii
a business TO get acquainted with ma
val men. make an impression, get mar
ried and then take the money sent to
them and do what they please-marry
someone else at another navy yard be-
longing to another ship sometimes. and
keep track of the cruises of the vessels.
The older men seem to fall most east

they discover their mistake. and have

said that the matter would be presented
to Senator Jones In an official manner,
and all the papers and correspondence
laid before him.
Senator Jones' informed Mr.. Garman
that the power OF removal OF member

ly with the committee Itself and that
he would take the papers III the case
when submitted to him and send a
copy to Mr.. Harritv, giving him an op-
portunity 10 make q reply and present

After both sides had been fully heard
he would take all the correspondence

then be called together IL the members
SO determine. when the case can be dis
cussed and decided.
