Creator of England. Sea Power.

Under Cromwell England for the first
time felt the power of a strong navy to
build up great nation. 1t is true that
Queen Elizabeth had repelled and de-
stroyed the Spanish fleet; but she as
sembled her ships only to resist inya
sion, and her important maneuvers
were on the defensive. Cromwell built
the first fleet that England had yet
seen created for the purpose of crush
ing her enemies and striking down the
oppressors of free religion. Spain, still
aiming at universal empire, received
her first staggering blow when Crom-
well, daring to throw away the tradi-
tional policy which England had
hugged for four centuries, allied him.
self with France and made war on
Spain. His enemies said then, and for
long afterwards, that he destroyed the
balance of power in Europe. But Crom-
we'll cared nothing for political maxims
when they stood in the pathway of that
human liberty of which he was the
champion. Holland sent out her fleets
more terrible than the old Spanish ar
mada; but Cromwell's generals. acting
on sealed orders penned by his own
hand. beat the Dutch admirals and sent
their ships to the bottom.

A SHREWD VENDER.

my pal and T. said a New York
fruit vender, started out the other

the same dealer, and we went uptown
and started in, he along one tier of
blocks and l along another. When we
met at noon he had sold every basket.

SHOW did you do it?' asked him.
Why, [ gave 'em magnifying glass
with every basket he said. And so he
had. The folks would say, as they al
ways do when you go around with
those small little baskets: Where are
they? Baskets so small I can't see it.
Then my pal outs with the magnifying
glass and hands it over and says: You
Just take a look at 'em through that,
and 1t brings the basket and the berries
all up so big that what with the size of

and strawberries dear.
"Oh, he's a shifty chap, nv pal, with
head full of wit and readiness, equal

do the same thing now this year, for
the big boxes have come in; but next

A NATURAL QUESTION.
Thst Arises with This Is, Do These
Stubborn welsh Walk
SpaHishs

A very long time ago the British gov
ernment ordered that English should
be taught in Welsh schools. AS result,
in 1895, a colony of prosecuted Welsh
miners fled from the British tyranny
and settled in the deserts OF Patagonia.
These men were heroes, and with most
magnificent courage they dared to live
in q desert where not plant would
grow, where the water was brackish
and the heat intolerable. They were
surrounded by wild tribes of hostile
savages, and made them warm friends;
they were ruled by foreign govern
ment, and became loyal citizens.
Through long years of want and fam
inc they never despaired. They have
turned the desert into beautiful fer
tile country, have become rich, number
5000 people, have extended their string
ofsettlements right across South Amer
lea, own a paying railway, and ship
large crops of wheat, wool, ostrich
feathers and quanaco skins.
They left Wales to escape the tyr
amy of the English language, and now
rather than talk Welsh, they converse
largely of their freedom in excellent
Spanish.

LUCREZIA BORGIA.
The Prevailing Conception of the
Historic POisoner's Character
Is False.

GAIL her contemporaries agree in
describing her as singularly attractive,
with a sweet joyousness and charm
quite peculiar to herself" says "The
History of the Popes," by DR.. Henry
Pastor. "'She is of middle height and
graceful in FORM, writes Uicolo Ca
gnolo of Parma; her face is rather long,
the nose well cut, hair golden, eyes of
no special color, her mouth rather
large, the teeth brilliantly white, her
neck is slender and fair, the bust ad-
mirably proportioned. She is always
gay and smiling Other narrators spe-
cially praise her long golden hair.
Unfortunately, we have no trust
worthy portrait of this remarkable
woman; at the same time we can gather
from some medals which were struck
at Ferrara during her stay there, fair
notion of her features. The best of
these medals, designed apparently by
Filipino Lippi, shows how false the
prevailing conception of this womans
character, woven out of partisanship
and calumny, has been. The little head,
with its delicate features, is rather
charming than beautiful, the express
sion is maidenly, almost childish, the
abundant hair flows down over the
shoulders, the large eyes have far-off
look. The character of the face is soft,
irresolute and gentle; there is no trace
of strong passions and rather it denotes
a weak and passive nature, incapable of
Seif-determinatiOn'

A SOLDIER WHEN DYI.JG.
HOW q United States Regular SaIuted
His Officer His Last Act
Before Death.

Ever since the war;" said an officer,
my memory has been developing de-
tails that were crowded for the time to
the rear by my interest in the greater
drama. Many Of them, although small
In themselves, illustrate the personal
courage and devotion of the troops.
There is one episode that in particu-
lar tyrifies the American soldier. / like
to think 50, at any rate. lie was pri-
vate of regulars. When l first saw him
he was already dead man, If ever l
saw one. He was on his feet, sham
bling along with that galvanic kind of
energy that comes to men of great vi
tality when they are wounded beyond
repair.
in the very act of fallipg-he looked up
and saw me. A very faint sign Of rec
ognition came into his eyes, and then
he Strengthened with jerk and saluted
me as stolidly as though he was on pa
rade.
There was nothing in the act of con-
scious dramatic effort. This well-drilled,
well-disciplined, well-balanced pryate
soldier of the United States army was
merely saluting me, his superior Off
Ger, and the thing that stood for his
flag.
II never knew his name, or his rec
ord, or his regiment, and 1 didn't want
to know. I knew that he was soldier,
and it has been the means of constant
inspirat ton to know that we have that

THE OTHER STORY.
Revelation Made by the Discovery of
the Indian Picture of Clusters
Massacre.

In Ainslee's Magazine is very inter-
cred picture writing by an Indian who
took part in the celebrated Custer mas
sacre. The pictures are noticeable for
being the work of a Sioux chief who
was prominent actor in the conflict.
The original pictures measured very
nearly two feet at each dimension. The
first of the two represents the Sioux
in their contest with Custer and his
men. The PROSTATE forms of white
men are scattered across the base OF
the drawing. In the right upper cor
ner soldier is seen falling from his
horse to the ground. Directly under
meath the characteristic fighting pos
ture of the Indian on horseback is de-
picted.
Notable features in the picture are
the bugles which are seen toward the
left lower corner. Only mind of COM
prehensive power could recall such
petty details in scene of such excite
ment and carnage.
The other illustration pictures the
dead Sioux after the battle. The differ
entiation of the figures in their apparel
and adornment is not without signifi-
canoe. 1t is to be supposed that by this
means an intelligent Sioux could fix the
identity of the slain. The weapons are
placed just beyond the grasp of the sew
eral figures. 1t is not an inadequate ex,
preston of the powerlessness of the
dead.

A PARTISAN EGG FORGER.
Many of His False Productions Are
Purchased for Scientific
Collections.

A curious account is giver by Paris
correspondent of the discovery of an
egg forger, whose false productions are
purchased for scientific collections and
by amateurs, says the Lincoln Daily
News. The man was very clever. A
visitor saw him make penguin egg
that could not be distinguished from
the real one that served him for model.
He made the shell of plaster of paris
burnt and glazed. The egg was intend
cd for a man who furnished eggs for
foreign scientific collection. These imi-
tations are not difficult, for among the
real eggs of most species there are so
many varieties that even the most
practiced expert could not distinguish
all OF them. The eggs of the common
f1y-catcher are very cheap. By chem
ical treatment they acquire b.uish
green shining color, and are then sold
at very high price as the eggs of the
silktail. From common duck eggs are
fabricated the eggs of falcon, for
which so or 60 francs are paid. The
duck eggs for this purpose are given a
silver-green color. Pigeon and wood
pigeon eggs are also transformed into
rarer products of middle-sized BIRDS
Nightingales' eggs are difficult to pro-
cure and are therefore very dear. They
are initiated by coloring larks' eggs
brown. The egg forger was for long
time an assistant in a natural-history
museum in the provinces.

BLOOD AND TOMATOES.
A Supposed Tragedy That Proved to
BE Perfectly Harmless
Affair

Unusual excitement disturbed fine
quiet OF Philadelphia residence one
recent Sunday evening, resulting in the
hurried visits of a policeman and two
doctors to the house. just as the man
of the house and his wife reached the
front step on the way home from
church the door was hurriedly thrown
open and out rushed the cock. who
called for "help!" When she saw her
mistress she declared between sobs that
the kitchen range had exploded and
that her cousin had been killed. The
mistress ran into the kitchen after
sending her husband for the doctors
and found the place covered with ashes
and young man apparently half-dead
lying in chair in front Of the range.
His head and face were apparently COW
cred with blood, but it was soon discov-
cred that he was still alive, as he said
he was only stunned. The housewife
Immediately set to work to wash the
mans head and face to prepare him
for the doctors, but she was moved
to merriment when she found that the
supposed blood was only tomato juice.
In truth the cousin was not injured
at all. The explanation was that the
cook had placed a can of tomatoes un-
der the CRATE to melt the sealing on
the lid and that the explosion, which
scattered the ashes and tomatoes, fol-
lowed the expansion of the frozen liquid
in the can. When the policeman and
doctors arrived they were told the
story and joined in the laugh, which
was on the cook and her cousin.

PrODHetfC.

The Paris papers are telling an in
teresting story of a newly-elected mem
Der of the French senate. NJ. Bassinet,
like many of his colleagues, is self
made man, and began life as journey
man mason. In that capacity he was
employed to renovate the sculptural fa-
cade of the Luxembourg palace, when
the architect, noting his skill and in
dustry, said to him by way of encour-
agement: "Why, you couldn't be MAX
ing a better job of il if it were wour
own house" The young workman
smiled, and is said to have answered:
lone never knows what the future may
bring forth" He had at the time no
political aspirations, but all the same
he now sits as senator in the building
he helped to adorn.

BANKS HAVE USE FOR MONEY.
Way I'm Which Big Financial InSfttu-
tiOns Manage to Pay Dividends
to Shareholders.

Many people wonder how banks use
all the money deposited in them and
how they manage to pay interest there
on and yet come out at the end OF the
year with big profit on the business,
says the New York Telegram.
What they do is trade with the money.
To the depositor they pay between one
and two per cent, but the money they
lend brings them in three, five, six,
seven, and even eight per cent.
For instance, they give loans on all
sorts of securities, such as railway de-
bentures, government stock, public
company shares, dock warrants, bills
of lading, etc.
They also lend money on the Sc
curity of houses and land, but not to
a great extent, as repayments are
slow.
When a couple of substantial business
men or farmers or professional men
back bill the bank often lends without
any security at all; but now and again
they have heavy and ruinous losses on
these loans.
All banks, however, have large sums
of money constantly lying idle, for they
must keep sufficient cash at the various
branches to pay checks, and even to be
more or less prepared for panics. Still,
the difference between the one or two
per cent. they pay and the three or
eight they receive on millions of dol
lars leaves them an immense profit on
the wears business

Wanted His Horse.

A Scotch farmer, celebrated in his
neighborhood for his immense strength
and skill in athletic exercises, very fire.
quently had the pleasure of contending
with people who came to try their
strength against him. Lord D., a
great pugilistic amateur, went from
London on purpose to fight the athletic
Scot. The latter was working in an en-
closure at a. little distance from his
house when the noble lord arrived. His
lordship tied his horse to tree and ad-
dressed the farmer. Friend, / have
heard marvellous reports of your skill,
and have come a long way TO see which
of us two is the better wrestler" The
Scotchman, without answering, seized
the nobleman pitched him over the
hedge and then set about working
again When Lord D got up:
Well" said the farmer, 'have you any
thing to say to me?" NO." replied his
1ordship, "but perhaps you'd be good
enough to throw me my horse"

THE UNIONS FRIEND.
Richard Golden Was an Ardent Adj
mirer Of Lincoln and His 4
Policy.

No man in England felt keener in
terest in the Americcn question than
did Richard Golden. He made no secret
Of his sympathy with the union. He
had been in constant correspondence
with Mr.. Lincoln, and felt for the many
sided American patriot the deepest af-
fection. Both were engaged in ma
tional and far-reaching struggle. and
defeat in America meant another CEN
tury of tory domination in Great Brit
ain, writes James NJ. Scovel in Lippin-
colts.
BY a sea-coal fire, late in a Novem-
Der night, Mr.. Golden gave me his opin
ion of Abraham Lincoln. This CEN
tury has produced no man like Lin
coin. Here is man who has risen
from manual labor to the presidency
of a great people. To me he seems to
be the man God has raised up to give
courage and enthusiasm TO a people
unused to the arts of war, fighting
what seems to me to be doubtful bat
tie in the greatest conflict of modern
times.
81 like Mr.. Lincoln's intense vener-
alton for what is true and good. His
conscience and his heart are ruled by
his reason.
II speak of your struggle as doubt
full, because Mr.. Lincoln will have more
to contend against in the hostility of
foreign powers than in the shattered
and scattered resources of the confed-
eracy."
Mr.. Golden predicted the triumph of
our arms, but he died before he had
more than Pisgah view of the prom
iSed land
