| admiral could be prevailed upon to
serve on a court of inquiry, he would
wear the frock coat, plain blue or white
trousers, blue cap with its band of oak
leaves in gold around the crown and
the vigor rim, the shoulder straps al
ready described-not epaulettes-
sword and plain leather belt. To be
more particular about the cap, it will
be of dark blue cloth, with the present
slightly faring top, fitted with a visor
of black patent leather lined with
green and covered with the blue cloth,
embroidered around the rim with gold
oak leaves. A small size navy button
will be placed on each side above the
temples, to which will be fastened a
chin strap of leather, faced with gold
lace. On the front there will be a sill
yer shield, emblazoned palewise, OF
thirteen pieces, with a chief strewn
with stars. surmounted by a silver
spread eagle, the whole being placed
upon two crossed fouled anchors en-
broidered in gold. When calling on
foreign officers, other than command
ing officers, and on social occasions
when frock coats are appropriate, the
admiral will wear the foregoing
uniform with the exceptions of sword
and belt. On all service duty on board
ship, and at all times not provided for
by the regulations for the foregoing
uniforms, the admiral will wear the
service dress uniform. This consists
OF blue or white coat, such as all of
ns pictures taken about Manila show,
trousers and cap to match. The service
sword belt, with sword attached, will
be worn on all duty with enlisted men
under arms, or when away from the
ship on service-circumstan hardly
to be expected in the ordinary course of
the admiral's career. The service coat
is made of dark navy blue cloth or
serge, shaped to the figure, and reach

ing at the door, and gave his message
verbatim
'Mr. James Brown wants 70 speak
to ye."
A decent old man of the retired
tradesman class, disturbed in his after
noon nap, looked up with blinking eyes
at the impatient constable. whilst his
comedy old partner put down the stock
ing she was darning, and prepared to
interview the visitor.
Good afternoon, sir" she SAID. civ
lily. Wont you take seat; it's
warm walking"
Was it real innocence or only a
sham? Mr.. Brown was not going to be
taken in; these people were probably
allies of Mr.. Charles Branscombe-old
servants or something of that sort.
The old gentleman's yawn was too
demonstrative, and he did not mean to
let the old lady's civility put him off
the scent-he was quite up to that
game. He glanced sharply around the
room, behind the old mans ponderous
armchair, at the cupboard door, even
up the chimney, before he answered in
his most official tone
"A young gent entered this house
about ten minutes or maybe a quarter
of an hour ago. Mr.. Charles Brans-
combe by name. I've got business
with him-very particular business, If
you'll let him know"
"Mr. Charles Branscombe," echoed
the old man; hes not here, and hasn't
been, to my knowledge"
Then it's without your knowledge"
retorted Mr.. Brown, who was getting
cross. "Tll take my davy he's some
where on the premises; and, as l hold
warrant for his apprehension, shall
have to search for him-with your
leave or without it."
You're an ill-mannered upstart-
that's what you are," exclaimed Mr..
Walker, very wide awake now, and
starting up to face Mr. Brown. "And
dare you to search my house-war-
rant or no warrant, I'm an honest man.
and I've nothing to do with your
scamps; and If was ten years younger
I'd kick you out faster than you came
in-that's what I'd do"-warming as
he went on.
Hush, Samuel!' interposed the
dame, laying her hand upon his arm,
as he shook his fist in the intruder's
face. "Never mind his manners-it's
only his ignorance. We don't mean to
resist the law: If he's got a warrant let
him show it, and he's welcome to
search if he likes. He'll soon see it's
no use. My husband is old, sir"-aside
to Mr.. Brown, as the old gentleman
walked to the window, and wiped his
forehead with his handkerchief-"an
he's apt to be hasty when he's walked
sudden out of his sleep. Let us see
your warrant, if you please, SIR

ing ships of war, in making the first
visit in port upon commanding officers,
on parades of ceremony with enlisted

This uniform consists of frock coat,
plain blue or white trousers, cooked

So Father Says.

oo says
wish that I'd been grandpa's child.
That l could had the joy
Or fishing in the good old days
When father was boy.
For then the fish grew bigger far
Than they do nowadays,
And literally packed the streams
AT least so father says.
They never caught a sucker then
That didn't weigh a ton
And pickerel were longer than
A modern Armstrong gun.
They used to yank out halibut
In hundreds from our bays.
And shad ran up the banks to bite
AT least, so father says.
They never thought of using bait
To lure the willy trout,
They reached a bushel basket down
And simply dipped them OUT
And In about an hour or two
They'd fiji up several drays,
And SOW them through the neighbour
hood
At least, so father says.
In short. they caught so many fish
The stream where they were fishing
would
Go down n yard or two:
And not an angler failed to coma
Home loaded In those days
A habit father still pursues,
AT least so mother says.

MANS LUNGS SPRUNG A LEAK.
That Is why the Cleveland Hackman

That Is Why the Cleveland Hickman
Was So Greatly swelIed.
From the Cleveland Leader: 1t is
not often that a thin man becomes
alarmingly obese within twenty-four
hours. This, however, was the expert
ence of Martin McHugh, who is a hack
driver, and lives at PIG Hamilton street.
wednesday morning he was too small
for his clothes. Several hours later he
had pronounced bay window" his
hands, feet, legs and arms were twice
their natural size, and his cheeks as
sumed rotund proportions that sur
prised the members of his family. He
did not stop there, but continued to
grow big, finally being compelled to
discard his clothing and take to bed.
DR.. D. D. Steur was called. He said it
was evident that McHugh's lungs were
leaking. This, according to the phi. 81
clan, became more evident when it was
seen that with each breath the rotund
portions rose and fell. In speaking Of
the curious case DR.. Steur said: INC
Hugh was injured by being struck with
mediate effects but was obliged to go
home later in the day. Every portion
of his body seemed to ache. He then
commenced to bloat, his body swelling
to twice its natural size. When called
in by the family I saw at once that
one of the mans lungs had been in
jured and was leaking air. With DR..
N. Stone Scott l decided on an opera
ton. The body was punctured. The
air came out with alarming force. The
disabled lung was then laid bare 1t

probably entered the casing The
wound was cleaned and the lung care
fully sewed. From last reports the pa
tient was doing nicely and will soon
be at his old stand"

Something About the Uniforms to Be
Worn by the Hero of Manila Bay.

AS soon as Admiral Dewey arrives
home his measure will be taken for the
various articles of clothing that are
designed for his rank. 1t will cost him
in the neighborhood of $4,000 to COM
plete his outfit. According to the reg
ulations Of the navy department this is
what he will require:
The accompanying cut shows the IN
form, in which the admiral shall ap-
pear when he calls on the president in
a semi-official capacity. Such visits
shall be made at least once a month.
