An Old SaIt,s Stories.

The captain of the brig was much
disliked by his officers, and, being i'll
with yellow fever and likely to die, the
first lieutenant used to drill the ma
rines in the burial service on the deck
over the captains cabin by way of
cheering him up, the corporal giving
his orders IN a loud voice thus: 1.-THE
corpse is now a-coming up the 'atch-
way! Reverse harmsv' The skipper
ultimately recovered.
The commander of certain gunboat
used to say that, having no doctor on
board, he mixed the medicines provid-
ed in a chest into two bottles, and
whenever any of his crew happened
to be sick he drew an imaginary line
across the mans stomach, and accord
ing as the pain was above or below
that line he gave him a dose out of No.
or No. 2. He claimed that no man
ever came to him twice, which was
very likely.-"Hurrah For the Life Of
a Sailor" by Vice Admiral Kennedy.

WaShlngton.-Inls government is
preparing to take very decisive steps,
it is learned. with view to bringing
Turkey to the prompt performance of
its promise and it's obligations with
respect to the claims or the United
States.
The recall of Ali Ferrough Bey, the
Turkish, minister, has vastly stimu-
lated interest in the somewhat strained
diplomatic relations with the sublime
porte, and every step in the negotia-
lions is watched with keen interest,
especially now that it is possible for
an American fleet to be withdrawn
from easten waters for a possible
demonstration in the Mediterranean.
1t is learned from a high official that
the administration is of the opinion
that no extreme measures will be nee
essary in dealing with the sultan, but
that it is prepared to adopt such mea-
sures if the more usual and gent1er re-
sources of diplomacy are of no effect.
These harsher measures will be- in
the event of the failure of the present
negotiations. nothing less than an I'LL
timatum, which would be presented to
the sultan by Minister Oscar S. Straus,
who will soon return to Constantine

A Match Trick.

A feat which any one can perform
with little or no practice is that of
placing IA matches upon a table and
lifting them all up upon one of the
matches. This is how it is done: Pick
out one match-the one that has the
--LATEST surface-and then place six of
the other matches about one-fourth
each across the first one, each of the
six being parallel to each other and the
thickness of match distant from each
other. Next place six other matches
one-fourth each across the first match,
but from the other side, all parallel and
in the spaces left by the arrangement
of the first six matches. Now take the
fourteenth match, lay it over the Il
matches where they intersect, and by
carefully lifting match No. 1 and hold
ing match No. IA in place you will ac-
complish without difficulty the feat

There Are Some Drawbacks.

He wasn't looking for an argument.
Indeed, he undertook to make a remark
that would pass unchallenged and
without conditions or amendment.
Prosperity" he said casually, sis a

"But why should it be necessary to
keep it secret?'
Because if you are known as a pros
porous man your debtors think YOU are
in no pressing need of the money they
owe you, your creditors are of the opin-

cations, charitable institutions go on

away, and you are likely to have diff
