WHY FARRAGUT REFORMED.

One of the great turning points in
the early life of Admiral Farragut is
told in Success, which publishes a
series of new stories of the great
American.
David was acting as cabin boy to his
father, brave George Farragut, who
had taken part in the revolutionary
and the Indian wars, and who, on this
occasion, as sailing master of the
fleet, was on the way to New Orleans
with the infant navy of the United
States. The boy thought he had the
qualities that make a man. 81 could
swear like an old salt" he says, could
drink as stiff a glass of grog as if
had doubled Cape Horn, and could
smoke like a locomotive. 1 was great
at cards and was fond of gambling in
every shape. At the close of dinner
one day" he continued, as the story is
related by William NJ. Thayer, my
father turned everybody out of the
cabin, locked the door and said to me:
David, what do you mean to be?'
81 mean to follow the sea- said.
Follow the seal exclaimed my IA
Their; yes, be poor, miserable, drunk
en- sailor before the mast, kicked and
cuffed about the world. and die in a
fever hospital in some foreign clime,'
No, father 1 replied, 4 will tread
the quarterback, and command, as you
do
No, David; no boy ever trod the
quarterback with such principles as
you have and such habits as you ex-
hibit. You will have to change your
whole course of life if you ever become
a man.
My father left me and went on
Geek. 1 was stunned by the rebuke
and overwhelmed with modification.
"A poor, miserable drunken sailor be-
fore the mast, kicked and cuffed about
the world, and die in some fever hos
pital.' That's my fate is it? I'll
change my life and I'll change it at
once. l will never utter another oath,
never drink another drop of intoxi-
eating liquor. never gamble and as
God is my Witness said the admiral,
solemnly, ''I have kept these three
vows to this hour. "-Exchange

Cab Service in
..Germa any,.

I have spent most of the summer in
Germany, says returned American,
and 1 am convinced that the Germans
perhaps more than any other peple
have solved the problem of living.
Without going into the details of good
cooking, open air life. good hotels.
cleanliness, cheapness and general
comfort there is one thing about Ger
man cities that appeals to me. The
especial object of resentment and OBJ
lection that 1 cherish in this country
is the American cabman and his ex-
orbitant prices. In London and Paris
the tariff for the employment OF cabs
is more or less clearly defined, but
still disputes may arise In Germany,
however, they have solved the prob
lem absolutely. They have attached
to every cab, carriage or public We
hicle a sort of automatic arrangement
on the box directly behind the driver,
and in plain sight of the passenger. 1t
explains upon its face that it registers
the tariff for the hire of the vehicle.
When you get in the wagon the driver
adjusts this register. If any baggage
is carried the face of the register pro-
claims how much he is allowed for
every piece of luggage, and he rings
it up before he starts Then the tax
imeter is attached to the wheels Of the
wagon in some way, SO that every rev.
olution of the wheel is registered. In
stead of registering the distance gone,
or the number of the revolutions of the
wheel, the taximeter registers the
charge for the distance gone. 1t
changes in 10 pfennig jumps. Ten
pfennigs in our money is about 21z
cents The result is that person is
charged about 21z cents for every
eighth of mile. The machines are
absolute and accurate, and the work
ings are SO open that even the most
obtuse can realize the fairness of it.
This is spoken of merely as hint to
the municipal authorities of the va
rious American cities in control of
hack rates The establishment of a
taximeter system of this kind would
be of inestimable value to the people
who patronize them, and in the end
would be of great value to the hack
men themselves, as. assured of honest
treatment, thousands Of people would
use cabs who now refrain owing to the
wild license for charging that the
American hackman enjoys

IhIs MAI Hau Strong FAfIHs
Charles Bell, of Albion, Mich, be-
came so confirmed a believer in the
efficacy of faith that he believed him
self able to take poison without any
ill-effects. So he took "a grains CT
morphine the other day. The next
morning he appeared sick, but
triumphant, and told of his feat. He
said he had vomited up the morphine
and felt no serious i'll effects from TAX
ing it. The success of this test prob
ably encouraged him to go further
with his experiments, for he bought a
revolver and declared his intention of
proving that he could shoot himself
without fatal results. He then went to
the front yard of his house, and, plac-
ing the revolver to his temple, fired.
Death was instantaneous.

The Champagne We Drink.

The American market for cham
payne varies less than in the case of
other foreign wines, though the i'm
portations of last year were 100000
dozens as against $40, 900 ten years
ago. The figure was exceptionally
high; last years importations were
below the average. The fluctuations
which carried the importations down
to 40. 900 dozen in 1897 carried them
up to 215, 900 dozen two years later.

HurIey's IDEAL Church.

The following is Professor Huxiey's
definition Of a church given In his
Life and Letters" "a place IN which,
week by week. services should be de-
voted. not to the iteration Of abstract
propositions in theology, but to the set
ting before mems minds Of an ideal OF
true, just and pure living; place in
which those who are weary OF the bur-
den of daily cares should find a mo-
ment's rest In the contemplation OF the
higher life which is possible for all,
though attained ny so few; place In
which the man OF strife and business
should have time to think how small,
sitter all, are the rewards he coyets
compared with peace aud charity"
