A Good Appetite.

How frequently we hear the remark
made when PERSONS ipdisposition 10
spoken Of: ooh, he can't have much the
fore he must be all right" As a matter
of fact, although good appetite Is some
times considered as a test of the state Of
the health, II is not an inyariable test, for
often those who are seriously i'll have good
appetites. This Is the case with many con-
sumptives and others, but "a person with a
bad appetite Is not in good health, There
Is something wrong with him. Appetite
and hunger are generally used synony-
mously, but hunger is more than appetite.
1t is imperous, but is allayed after eating.
What Is the best thing to do when the
appetite wancs? The usual remedy is u
tonic. For u want of appetite the real
remedies needed are often rest and sleep,
together with fresh air. Oysrwork when
feeble Is n cause Of loss of appetite. A
change Of food is good remedy. Some
times the regimen has not been varied
enough and the system becomes overbur-
dened with one kind OF material, and an
other kind is deficient. An entire change
Of food may work wonders. A change of
scene, Of thought and o4 environment are
some Of the best means to restore n faded
appetite for food. Outdoor exercise, work
sea bathing-all these have good effect
and promote those changes in the body
which make n demand for food imperative
These remedies are all natural ones, and
II rightly used can do no harm. New

HERO A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
by SAM II. COON.

How Captain Truxtun was the Dewey OF
July 4, 1899.
AS lone star differeth from another star
in glory" 80 one Fourth of July varies
from another only in degree. There are
some striking points of similarity between
the Fourth Of July, 1890, and the Fourth
of July 1899. A hundred years ago, ms
now, the nations idol was hero OF tho
sea, whose exploits have added inspiration
to the celebration Of Independence day.
Then the towering heroic figure was
Thomas Truxtun, as now 1t is George
Dewey. Then, as now, our sea fighters
were held in highest admiration, and their
courage, loyalty and craftsmanship were
extollod over all tho land.
John Adams was then president, imme-
diately succeeding George Washington.
With prophetic vision President Adams
thus gave his notion of the Fourth Of July
and how it should be celebrated: "This
day will be the most memorable epoch in
the history of America, to be celebrated
by succeeding generations as the day Of de-
liverance by solemn acts of devotion to
Almighty God, with pomp and parade,
with shows, games, sports, guns, bells,
bonflrcs and Examinations from one end
of the continent to the other from this
time forever more. F"
There is no doubt that, following the
advice of President Adams and their own
inclinations, our forcfathers loudly and
joyously celebrated in 1893 their deliver
ancc from British dominion and as we'll
the rcquital of French insults, which had
marked the year or two preceding Those
were stirring times. Political feeling was
intense and often bitter, but patriotic
sentiment was at the food tide. We were
then practically at war with France,
though hostilities had never been formally
declared. France had been at war with
England for some time and sought to en-
broil us in the quarrel Naturally our
sympathies were with France, but the
French revolutionists, prosuning too far
upon the services that had been rendered
us in our struggle for Independence, de
mandcd favors which could not be grant
ed without going to n war with England.
The bitterness toward the mother country
was still intense and found expression in
the sentiment May the Union which
sprang from u British war be preserved
from British alliance, but it was deem
ed unwise to 90 to war with her In aid OF

iniict upon us every sort Of injury and
insult. They used our ports to fit out
privatcers, which subsequently seized our
merchantmen and preyed upon our COM
mcrce. Our minister in Paris was sub
jected to the grossest indignities. The
situation became intolerable. 1t was this
time that gave voice to such sentiments as
these, which have crystallized into national
axioms: Millions for defense, but not n
cent for tribute, ""Peace with honor OF
war without fear" and Hail Columbia

line eye is proverbially ignorant IN such
matters, dressing to please it would be
much simpler task than is dressing in
accordance with the general taste OF the
feminine public. The average man has
his preference in the color for n woman's
dress, usually quite irrespective Of her
complexion, and he likes his feminine
belongings to look like other women"
but beyond that his notions of dress are
chaotic. With one accord, however, men
are Disguised with the trailing street
gown, because it sweeps up and retains
the filth of the road with such insistent
obviousness.

No. 4. WEST COLLEGE,
PRINCETON, July 10, lSil.
DEAR 49, Glad to hear you all spent so
pleasant 4th Of July. Some account of our
proceedings here may prove amusing weeks
ago at a called meeting Of the students il was
trumphantly decided that there should be
illumination, etc, on the evening of the 5th
committee was appointed to mark the de-
vices on the windows and collect money for
the fire balls, fireworks, etc.
The figure marked on all the first story win
dows of East and West colleges was an hour
glass, requiring 60 candles for our 3 windows.
The figures for the I'd and 9Th stories and all
the back windows of the old North were much
more intricate and beautiful. In the third
story of our college the upper sashes presented
Geo. + plus Washington" and of the East
college, General 7 (Plus) Mercer" On the
chapel windows were the dates "lI16lS4l."
All day Saty, and part of Monday Olcott and
! were both busy in preparing and placing the
candles, cutting them in short pieces, turpen-
timing the wicks and then lighting them to he
sure they would go. The penalty for leaving
this undone would certainly have been the
smashing in Of all our fenestras insertas. Csu-
ally the students have had n celebration of the
4th out in town. but owing to a misunder
standing between the two societies there was
none this year.
Thro' the day, however, the roar Of artillery
was kept up so necessarily and noisilv rs in
Albany. In both refectories very fine Fourth
of July dinner was served up. In the p. NJ. in
the back campus wero raised seven or eight
large and costly pieces of fireworks procured
from New York for the occasion. And at dusk
the caSpus was almos. filled with the ladies
and gentlemen of Princeton and Mercer coun-
ty. As soon az il was dark, Mt the ringing Of
the bell every window fronting on the back
campus was manned by the students.

CONSTELLATION BAKING LINSURGENTy.
tional hymn. Congress declared that the
treaties with France were at an end and
authorized the president to instruct our
ships of war to seize all French armed YES
sells in American waters. 1t was then that
the marine corps, which has ever since
been an efficient arm of the naval service,
was first created.
The French had swarm of cruisers and
priyatecrs in the West Indies pirating up
on our commerce. Thithcr was sent what
was then for us u powerful force, consist
ing of four squadrons, numbering 20 yes
sells in all. One squadron had for its
flagship the frigate Constellation, 3S guns,
and was under the command of Captain
Thomas TruXtun who became the nava!
hero Of that time, much the same as Dew
ey is the naval hero of today.
In February, 1899, Captain Truxtun,
with the Constellation, encountered, near
ST. Christopher, L'Insurgente, 40 guns,
one of the finest frigates in the French
navy, which fired a challenge. Truxtun
fearlessly advanced and poured n broad
side into the Frenchman. The fight con-
tinued an hour, the Constellation merci-
lessly raking the enemy fore and aft,
while the latter was apparently powerless
tn infict severe injury upon our gallant
ship, Our sailors were the better gunners,
just as they are today, doing effective
work, while the Frenchmen, aiming too
high, only damaged the Constellation .
spars and rigging After 20 of L'Insur-
gente's crew had fallen she struck her col
ors and surrendered. The Constellation
lost but one killed and three wounded.
When the news OF Truxtun's victory
reached the United States, which in those
days must have taken at least two months,
the country fairly went wild with patri-
otto fervor, and Truxtun, though still re-
manning with his squadron in West In
dian waters, was everywhere acclaimed
the nations hero. He had given the ma
ton a notable victory to celebrate on the
Fourth Of July, and II was celebrated
with most enthusiastic demonstrations.
SO intense was the feeling that at many
celebrations that year the effigy II Talley-
rand, the French secretary OK fore gn
Affairs was burned at the stake In view
OF the threatening warcloud General
Washington, then in the enjoyment of ex-
ccllent health, had been recalled to the
command Of the army, and the prevailing
toast was to "the Father Of His Country. /"
Soon after the trouble with France was
fixed up and diplomatic relations restored,
but in view Of the difficulty and delay in
the transmission of information, the sea
fighting In the West Indian waters was
not ended, the situation being much the
same as in Dewcy's case after the cable
was cut at Manila So it fell to the lot Of
Truxtun to furnish the theme Of inspira-
ton for the Fourth of July, 1900. In
February, 1900, with the Constellation,
he encountered, and, after five hours of ter
rife fighting at night, defeated and dis
mantled the French frigate Vengeance,
carrying 81 guns. For this victory con-
gress gave Commodore Truxtun a medal
