from it is never sold, but used upon
high days and holidays, passed about
as a gift, Or devoted to the comfort
of the sick apd the poor. Something
akin to the bride exists in the German
free cities. Each Of them has a wine
cellar, and In each cellar there is a
cask always yielding wine, but never
empty. Any burgher is entitled to a
bottle of its contents when he marries,
when his first son is christened, and
also when the son Is twenty-one. IT
the son Is adventurous, or the burgher
himself, for that matter, he gets an
other bottle from the cask when he
comes home from far countries. But
there is an official specially charged
to see that wherever a bottleful is
drawn out another bottleful Of as near
az possible The same quality at once
goes in. And thus it happens that the
city cask is never empty.

Last Tuesday was the 100th anniver-
sary of the establishment of a navy
yard at Kittery. Me-, on the Piscataqua
river, opposite Portsmouth, N. H. The
land was in 1900 purchased by the gov
eminent for $500. April 25, 1900,
Secretary Of the Navy Benjamin Stod-
dert in a report to the president advo-
Gated the purchase of suitable sites for
navy yards at Portsmouth, N. H., Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia, Norfolk,
Va, and Washington, DC. The Sec
retary's report stated that eat Ports
mouth the yard of Mr.. Langdon, hired
for the frigate, might be used for the
H-gun ship, but an island (Fernald's),
quite convenient for all purposes Of a
large establishment, can be procured
for $1,000, and believing it the truest
economy to provide at once perma-
nent yards which shall be public prop

money expended on them" he ecom-
mended, among others, "the purchase
of a building yard at Portsmouth, and
to commence it on a scale as il it were
meant to be permanent"

with the various shops which are not
found in any other navy yard. For

OLD wARLlKE STICKS.

Grotesque Stars That We're Formerly
Carried in England.
In former times in England walk
ing sticks were commonly carried by
both male and female heads of fam
lilies. Queen Elizabeth carried one Of
these toward the end of her life.
Sticks were then used chiefly as en-
blems of authority. The monstrous
sticks shown in the engraving are
drawn from specimens which have
been preserved by dealers in London.
These a century ago were common
and might have been seen by the thou

ladies dressed in old hoped dresses.
the fashion of. those days. At that
time, also, there was a taste for vari-
Gus kinds of monsters, in china, wood
and other materials. Monkeys and pet
dogs were made pets Of and the sticks
of the footmen were fashioned into
grotesque forms. These sticks were
about six feet high and were in parts
painted and gilt. DR.. Johnson, Oliver
Goldsmith and a host of other literary
lights and celebrities considered a
good stick as necessary as a coat.

Mrs. Luise DeLassomm Of San Fran
cisco returned from a tour of South
Africa asshort while ago and relates
some interesting Impressions of the
Beers. THE Beers impressed me as
being a very. uncouth sort of people,"
she says. although those that we met
were pleasant enough. 1t is easy. to
See that they are required to pay little
attention to the courtesies of life while
young, so that their manner are de-
void of polish, and they frequently
have a surly air, which does not by
any means create a favorable impress
sion upon strangers. But of their
lighting qualities there can be no ques-
ton, and England need not expect to
subdue them until their last shot has
\ been fired and their last ounce of
strength is exhausted. There is no
more determined and stubborn race
of people on earth than the Beers.
The children, both boys and girls
,<are taught the use of firearms as soon
As they are old enough to hold a gun.
They practice constantly. From one
generation to another the Beers have
been preparing for war, until to fight
is now their natural instinct. The
women are as courageous and as COM
bative as the men. A Boer woman is
never too old to shoot straight. You
should see them as I have seen them
coming in the station to say good-by
to husbands, fathers, brothers and
sweethearts on their way to the front,

The Rev. DR.. ]. H. Cissel. Of Craw-
louisville, Ind, has received an inter-
esting letter from his son. First Ser
geant E. w. Cissell, of Company G.,
Forty-fourth infantry. Sergeant Cis-
sell served through the Cuban cam
paign, and then enlisting with the
fo%rty-fourth went to the Philippines.
He is now at Baclayon, Bohol, and
writes that Bohol is>radically different
from the other islands he has visited.
The natives were frightened half to
death when the United States soldiers
came, as they had for ages suffered
terrible indignities from the Spanish
people, but in less than a month they
were thoroughly treasured. So in
tensely do they hate the Spaniards,
however, that the better educated peo-
pie, who understand the Spanish Ian
guage, refuse to make use of 1t. The
population of Bohol is devotedly Ro-
man Catholic, but Sergeant Cissell
writes that the religion there is much
more given to form, and is much more
exacting than in this country. The
cathedral at Baclayon is a magnificent
building, with a chime of sixteen bells.
Little clothing is worn, except on
Sunday" writes Mr.. Cissell. "On that
day, however, the men wear suits Of
spotless white, and the women attire
themselves in most fetching costumes.
They wear q black skirt with a long
trail. a cream colored waist of some
light material, made in evening dress
fashion, and then complete the toilette
with a head dress that is stunning.
This is a sort of sun-bonnet, made Of
very thin white material. At the point
where it touches the head it is REIN
