this the commander-in-chief's share
would be o~ne-twentieth, or $3.50, 900. AS
sumo that he nets but half that, o r $751;
BOO. The bounty money for the San
tiago victory Is estimated at $245, 900,
and OF this the admiral's share would
be s12, $50. Ordinarily Admiral Samp-
son would not have attained the rear
admiral's grade before his retirement
for age, which occurs in February, 1902
He thus gains about SO, 500 increase Of
pay while on the active list, and (tak-
ing expectancy of life at 81 to be twelve
years. $4,000 while on the retired list.
Total apparent returns to Admiral
Sampson, therefore, S99, 750.
The bounty money allotted for the de-
struction Of the Spanish fleet at Manila
is $178, 400-about the value Of one tor
pedo boat and a little more than half
the amount we paid for the Merrimac,
which Hobson sunk at Santiago. OF
this Admiral Dewey's share is 1920.
He was promoted from commodore to
rear admiral in May, 1898, passing
above but two seniors. He would have
reached the same grade in September
in ordinary advancement had there
been no war. His normal promotion
vas therefore anticipated by only about
five months, and he gained thereby
about $500. He retires for age on Dec.
26, 1899. Total apparent returns to
Admiral Dewey, therefore, S9,329.
1t needs no argument to show how
the absurd in~adequacy Of Admiral
Dewey's recompense, in fact, this has
already been officially recognized, and
it is announced that the grade Of either
admiral or vice-admiral will be revived
for his benefit. The pay of the grade OF
admiral used to be s13, 900 per year,
and, therefore, ever assuming that the
higher rank be given with the old pay,
the aggregate amount which can be
received by Admiral Dewey during the
remainder of his life Is small.

A piano tuner, who says that pianos
frequently deteriorate because they
are allowed to become too dry, pre-.
scribes this remedy: "Keep a grow
ing plant in the room, and so long as
your plant thrives your piano ought
to, or else there's something wrong
with it.
"Justtry it, and see howmuch more
water you will have to put in the
flower pot in the room where your
piano is than you use in any other
room. Some people keep a huge vase
or urn, with a soppiug wet sponge in
it, near or under the piano, and keep
it moistened, just as q cigar dealer
keeps his stock. They keep this up
all the time the fires are on. '-Indian-

TO HEROES.

If pubic reports be correct, Admiral
Schley's pecuniary return in bounty
money comes to about $6,125. His pro-
motion to real admiral from commo-
dore carried him over the heads of six
officers of the latter grade. In or
binary course, had the war not taken
place, he would have become a rear
admiral in 1901, and have retired in Oc-
tober of the same year. He therefore
reaches his highest grade about two
years and four months earlier than he
would have done and gains in all about
$4,000 difference in pay. Total appar-
ent returns to Admiral Schley, there
fore, S8,425.

plague was raging in London. Living
or dead, no member of the Society of
Friends could wish to find himself in
a spot more in harmony with the sim
PIE tenets of his creed. 1t is just such
a building as was common in the New
World at the time when the religious
refugees of Britain crossed the seas in
search of that liberty of conscience
denied them in the old home. On such
rude wooden benches as still remain
under that red-tiled roof, no rule of
life would be more seemly than that
preached by George Fox, and than the
simple God's-acre which fronts the
meeting house there could be no filter
resting place in which to await in quiet
confidence that day which will prove
how far that creed was in harmony
with absolute truth.
Fol several miles around the dis
trict is rich in memories Of the early
Quakers. Near by was the peaceful
home of the P~enningtons, in which
Thomas Ellwood was living as tutor,
and from whence William Penn was to
take his first and most beloved wife.
The reason for this focusing of so
many Friends within a small area was
probably the ame as that which drove
the Coyenanters of Scotland to seek
refuge on the lonely moors; to-day,
Jordans is sufficiently inaccessible, and
two centuries ago it must have been an
ideal haven for suspected religionists.
More than two hundred years have
elapsed since Jordans passed into the
possession of the Society Of Friends.
1t owes its name probably to a forgot
ten owner of the property, for 1t was
not from a Jordan but from one Will
liam Russell, that, in 1871, Thomas ELL
wood and several others acquired the
land on behalf of the Society. The
idea of a meeting house seems to have
been an afterthought; it was as the
burial place simply that Jordans vas
originally purchased. But the meeting
house was not long in following, for
seventeen years later there is anthem
tic record of its existence. Probably
some generations have passed since
regular meetings were held in this
rude temple, but twice every year
on the fourth Sunday in May and the
first Thursday in June-set gatherings
are held to keep alive the continuity

ISLANDS FULL OF GOLD,
Former Governor swineford, o. Alaska
Talks of Alexander Archipelago.

Talks of Alexander Archipelago.
A. P. Swineford, former Governor
of Alaska, while in Chicago recently,
said:
The great majority of those who
have gone to the Yukon country dur
ing the last year have passed, without
knowing it, through what is destined
to become the richest gold mining dis
trict in Alaska. Imean the Alexander
archipelago, and the mainland from
the southern boundary to Skaguay and
Dyea. In the excitement consequent
on the discovery of rich placers in the
interior, the mining value of the
islands and coast has been almost en-
tirely lost sight of. Still, it is we'll
known to some that one mine in this
region has already produced more
gold than this country paid for Alaska,
and is just now increasing its facili-
ties from $40 to 900 stamps. But
after the increase it will not be able to
exhaust the ore now in sight for 100
years. Moreover, there are other
equally rich collaborating ledgers on
the same island.
On the mainland, just back of
juneau, there is a number Of produc-
ing mines, one of which has a ten
stamp mill, which is turning out
dividends equal to ten per cent. on
81, 900, 900, though the entire invest
ment was less than $50, 00U. The
beauty of it all is that these quartz
lodges are adjacent to salt water, and
to a superabundance of timber. I ex-
pect a dozen immensely profitable
mines to be opened in this region
within the next twelve months. I re-
gard southeastern Alaska the most
promising field hat exists anywhere
at this time for the investment of
capital seeking employment in gold
and copper mining enterprises-not

Discovered an Unfinished TEMPLE.

The excavations at PompeN during
the past year have resulted in the dis
oovery Of an unfinished temple, near
the ''sea gate" which appears to have
been deserted by the workmen at the
very moment of the catastrophe.
Tools, carvings, masonry, have been
left just As they were, the light thrown
upon the methods of the Roman stone
artist being very valuable. Hard by
the ruined city, in a plot of private
ground, has been found one of the
finest and most interesting mosaics of
antiquity. It consists of a group of
seven philosophers, one Of whom is
reading from a scroll, and contains in
the background a view OF the Athenian
Areopagus. The mosaic, which was
apparently new, and had never been
put down, has been acquired by the
Government, and will shortly appear
in the Naples Museum.-New York

A BUT GOOD.

Situated in one of the most pictur-
esque parts of Sussex, some nine
miles to the southeast of Lewes and
six miles northwest of ~Eastbourne, the
little village of Lullington claims proud
possession-if such an adjective is ap-
plicable-of what is locally believed to
be the smallest church in England. The
village itself is on so small a scale that
the miniature church, some sixteen feet
square, is quite large enough to sup
ply its needs. Built in medieval
times upon a slight eminence within e
short distance of Alfriston, famous for
its sixteenth century hostelry, the
church is reached by a path which
passes through charming scenery. The
present structure stands upon the site
of the chancel of the building destroy
ed during Cromwelllan struggles, and
at the same time the church records
disappeared, SO that even the name of
it's patron saint is not now known. The
building accommodates about thirty
worshipers. Inside the small sanctuary
the large pulpit completely dwarfs the
scanty sitting accommodation. The
belfry is more for ornament than use,
since the birds. by whom it has been
used for nesting purposes. during sew
