SAYINGS OF BISMARCK.

Of universal suffrage he said: "It is
the government of house by its nurs-
cry"
Radicals" said he, "are forever
wanting the unattainable, like the
Russians, who crave cherries in win
ter and oysters in summer"
''When l wish to estimate The dan
ger that is likely to accrue to me from
an adversary first of all subtract the
mans vanity from his other qualities
On one occasion of obedience to his
wife Bismarck replied: "It is surpris-
ing what a man will do to enjoy peace
in his own house after having had a
thorough taste of war"
Bismarck was showing friend
round his house some time ago, and as
ne laughingly pointed to the ponder
Gus and forbidding iron safe in his
wife's bedroom he said: "YjSl see, my
wife acts as my cashier, and let me tell
with his financial interests has Giscov-
cred an infallible way to save money"
After the day on which Bismarck
was shot at MAY Z, 1860 by Karl
Blind his wife said: "If 1 were in
Heaven and saw the villain standing
on the top of Il ladder leading down
to hell l would have TO hesitation in
giving him push" flush, my DEAR"
replied Bismarck; "you would not be
in Heaven yourself with such
thoughts as those"

ANIMAL TRADES.

Caterpillars are silk spinners.
Whole tribes of birds are musicians.
The white ants maintain a regular
army of soldiers.
The mole is a meteorologist; the tor
pedo, the ray and the electric eel are
electricians.
The beaver is an architect, builder
and woodcutter. He cuts down trees
and erects houses and dams.
The squirrel is a ferryman. With a
chip or piece of bark for a boat and
his tail for sail, he crosses the stream.
The marmot is a civil engineer. He
not only builds houses, but constructs
aqueducts and drains to keep them
dry.
The nautilus is a navigator. He raises
and lowers his sails and casts and
weighs anchor, and performs other
nautical acts.
Bees are geometricians. The cells
are so constructed as, with the least
quantity of material, to have the
largest spaces and the least possible
loss of interstice.

CENTENAR1AN PENSIONERS.
Tho Queer Discovery That Has just
Been Made by the Spa nish Min
istfy Of Justice.

Annuitants never die. The fact has
just been illustrated by a circular from
the Spanish ministry OF justice to the
collective Irelates of Spain. A law was
passed in 1887 dealing with the Spanish
national debt, according to which law
there were certain nuns in Spa nish con-
vents and sisterhoods who held lien
on the state for small allowance to
be paid by the treasury to each mem
Der yearly. The circular goes on to
state, in calm, official style. that in 1897
the youngest of these religious ladies
was II. the eldest was 66. Between
them comes a varying list Of ages. and
all these ladies, be it remem be red, were
state annuitants. And now we are in
1898, and not single death has been
recorded in these 81 years. The nuns
have with complete unanimity and uni
formity paced peacefully through the
century, and remain a perfect and un-
broken body Of annuitante still. The
Youngest would be 7s. the eldest 1877,
and almost all the others have scored
their three figures. The treasury finds
sonething suspicious in this unbroken
succession of centena rians, costing it
mo less than 10000 francs. Their lord
ships are asked for an explanation and
the venerable nuns are invited to fur.
nish proof that they really are alive.
failing which," says the circular,
abruptly, rye shall be scheduled as
dead"

PUGET SOUND FOCS.
When AtmOsphe ric Conditions
Are Favorable.

Seafaring men have often described
meeting with fog bank at sea the
limits of which We're so clearly defined
that the forward part of their vessel
would be in bright sunlight. with the
after portion enveloped in dense fog.
That the phenor,enon is not mis-
stated. any of the many people passing
the brink of the decline leading down
Pacific avenue from the city hall at
ten o'clock Saturday morning could
readily attest. Daylight had come in
with dense fog. This had cleared
so that the ships at the elevators were
plainly visible
Suddenly there came from the straits
n bank of fog. which. instead of un-
folding and drifting over the surface
of the bay came solidly on. This
formation was kept up until the fog
struck the rise OH Pacific avenue lead
ing from the wharf Then it broke the
mist drifting up in trailing clouds.
The spectacle of the on-marching
wall of fog as clearly perpendicular as
the side of building, with the suns
rays striking against it, was indeed
grand. Several shipping men noticed
it. and fog was made the subject of
conversation in a number of offices on
the water front, bringing forth the mar
ration of similar instances.
One of these came from Capt. Nc
Cabe, who said:
''The strangest combination for fog
to take on that has come under my OBJ
servation occurred here on the sound
some months ago. l was travelling by
steamer from Port Townsend to Seat
tie. AS we rounded Admiralty Head
there loomed up before us what ap-
peared to be water-logged steamer.
From her bulwark rails up everything
was perfectly visible. The lookout on
the fo'castle head, the officer on the
bridge, the deckhouse masts and
smokestack were all as plain to our
sight as is the Northern Pacific ware
house across the railroad track from
where we now sit.
"But below the bulwark line nothing
could be seen of the vessel. She might
have been some Puget sound Flying
Dutchman' for all we knew, or possi-
bly, a craft that had come in collision
and was seeking beaching point be-
fore sinking.
"It was weird and for several mo-
ments deceiving. The morning had
opened so thick that the fog had driven
down so close to the surface of the
channel as to form a blanket for but
the lower part of a vessel. We came
near enough to hail, and were informed
that the steamer was doing finely. All
well on board, and, beyond it being a
trifle damp on the lower decks through
the fog failing to rise, everything was
ovely."-Tacoma Ledger.

TAILORS' "SPECIALS."
The Queer Pockets and Other Things
That TailOrs Have to Put
Into Clothes.

"No special"
With that remark to the assistant
who took down the measurements the
tailor dismissed his patron and said
that the suit would be finished "sure"
on a certain day.
"What did you mean by the saying
no special to your clerk?" asked the
customer.
"Well, that means that you want
your clothes made all right and with
out any crank things about them.
Pockets are the great specials. We
have customers who want, besides the
regular pockets, places in their waist
coats for pencils, eyeglasses and all
sorts of things. Some pencil pockets
are made to hold only one pencil and
some for bunch. Eyeglass pockets
are also ordered in keeping with the
shape and style Of the glasses, and
pockets for cigars are ordered for all
sizes, from the little half-pencil shape
to the great big perfecto. Freak pock-
cts, inside of other pockets, are also
in demand, and chamois-lined pockets,

side of the waistcoat, are ordered often
for trousers by men who carry silver
trinkets in them. But pockets are not
the only specials The European Gus
tom of wearing black band on the left
sleeve to indicate mourning is becom-
ing popular in this country, and the
band is one of our Specials
Another class of special customers
are those whose garments are made
with view to the wearer's health.
Many men have an inner band of red
flannel put on the waist of their trous-
ers as a cure for rheumatism. and some
driving coats are made so that sheets
of stout paper may be slipped between
the breast lining and the cloth when
driving against the wind.
"On the whole" said the tailor, "a
man in my business has the best op-
portunity to find out the kinks and
queer points about men, not only as to
their persons, but their minds. IN. Y

"TOnnage" and ent."

At the present time, when naval mat
ters are a source of great interest to
the general public, ore continually
finds the terms displacement" and
tonnage" improperly used, both in the
daily press and in common speech. The
confusion between the terms would not
occur if their meaning were understood.
displacement" refers to the quantity
of liquid displaced by the immersed
hull of the ship, and tonnage" to the
freight-carrying capacity of the ship
determined by certain rules of measure
ment.
The displacement of vessel is the
entire weight of the hull with all its
contents, according to the well-known
law of hydrostatics that floating body
displaces weight of fluid just equal to
its own weight. A ship sinks in the
water to such level that the pressure
of the fluid displaced exactly counter
balances the weight of the ship.-En-
