UNCLE 'sAM,s CADETS.


 The food supplied to apprentices in uhqef SaIh's 3navy partiUu1 when in port, is plain and unstimulating in quality and none too abundant in Quan- tity. Uncle Sam does not believe in pampering his young sailors by over feeding, and most of their pay in add ing to the stock of provender furnish ed by the ships cook.
 A boy who may be designated as Jimmy Short, for short, thinking life on shipboard would be picnic" en- listed as a naval apprentice.
 How Is Jimmy getting along?" in- quired a neighbor one day.
 Poor boy!" replied the mother, She writes us that he is homesick, he cant eat half the grub he gets in his kid'--W hatever that may mean"
 A few weeks later the same neighbor dropped in again.
 How is Jimmy doing in the navy by this timer" she asked.
 Poor boy!p answered Mrs Short, she wants us to send him q box filled with the kind of vituals he used to turn up his nose at He says he be- lieves he could eat live OK at one mealr'
 As an instructive afterthought 1t may be suggested that perhaps a judi- cious amount of starvation is good cure for acute cases of homesickness. Youths Companion.

TOBACCO CHEWING IN SENATE

"There is one of the most interesting lists you ever looked at," said the clerk of an important senate committee at the capitol, "and it is absolutely re- liable. 1t was prepared after two years of study, and I only used 1t to convince an aunt of mine that the use of chewing tobacco is no drawback should one desire to go down into his tory as statesman.
 This is a list of senator's who use chewing tobacco necessarily while on the floor of the chamber. I have seen strangers wonder at the array of china cuspidors in the senate, and can as- sure you that they are not there as or naments. Some of the best men in the senate are never happy unless masti- eating piece of the weed, and l think this list ought to silence some Of those who oppose the habit.
 Senator Morgan chews tobacco all the time The others in this class are Senators Vest, Pettus, Daniel, Bate, Cockrell, McEnery, Berry, Spooner, Culberson, Scott and Cullom.
 "Those senators who used chewing tobacco, who went out on March 4, were Messrs Butler, Caffery, Kenney, Chiffon and Carter.
 "Those who chew while listening to a speech, or while speaking. are Sena- tors Clay, Hanna. Penrose, Mason, Pritchard, Hale, Tillman, Jones of Ne vada, Nelson and Turer. The fiery Pet tigrew always ate candy during de- bate, while Mir Allen kept box of snuff on his desk. k."-Washington Times.

The recent supreme court decision has furnished food for editors, and will continue to until the great questions now before the country are settled for good and for ever. The decision repre- sents a great loss, says one writer, not to the cause of liberty in the long run, but to the dignity, the influence and the prestige of the supreme court. What single men could do to retrieve, the courts standing, Messrs Fuller and Harlan have done by their brave ar judgments of the un-American doc Ntrines of the majority. But the blow has fallen on the court and no one can avert 1t. Justice Brown evidently is the man to whom the decision finally fell, as his ambiguous position in the several decisions shows him to stand between the two parties; but to have gone over to the imperialfsts at the critical point It will be recognized as his work by succeeding generations, and the distinction will be most un- happy one. To no man for centuries past has so grave political responsi- bility fallen. No man has been in such a position fer turning the course of his tory in the direction of justice and lib erty. Even Judge Fancy could but ,in- fuence the course of affairs at home. The agreement of Judge Brown with Judges Fuller and Harlan would have benefited the whole civilized world. It would have been the renunciation of imperialist aims and ambitions by the leading country of the world in the in- terest of liberty and self-government. It would have been the public and sol emn condemnation of such aims by the worlds greatest tribunal. It would have made an appeal to the conscience of the civilized world in the matter of the rights of weaker peoples, such as Alexander I. and Abraham Lincoln made in behalf of men held in bondage. Can there be worse tragedy in hu- man life than for man to have had such an opportunity, and to have miss ed it?

CANNOT DROWN FIRES.
Dimculties of Combatfns Confiagra, tions in Deep Coal
 Mines.

Fighting fires deep down in coal mines is task to put the heroism of the bravest to the test. In an into
 esting article on the subject in Fran
 Leslie's Popular Monthly, the author tells how at Plymouth, large town in the Wyoming valley, 8 big mine caught fire from the burning of breaker. Some blazing timbers fell down the shaft, setting it on fire, and preventing entrance to the mine. The fire burned in the. shaft and spread downward and ihwa In this case there was but one thing to be done. Great pumps were erected, and, the river being near, water was poured into the mine for months, until it was flooded to the bottom of the shaft. Then the water was allowed to remain for some weeks, until, in the opinion of the officials, it had reached every nook and cranny Of the mine where fire could have lodged. Then the weary work of pumping it out commenced. It took five months of constant effort by the monster pumps. A couple of months more work was needed to make re- pairs, and then it was discovered that a large fire burned in the mine, many feet below the level the water had reached. This was due to the air and gases, generated by the fire; holding back the flood of water, monster cushion of compressed air and gas. Vent holes had to be bored from the surface to remove this, and the weary work of flooding was begun again. It was two. years before the mine was ip condition to, resume operations. z .

GENTILITY AND BUSINESS.

"It's great mistake to mix gentility up with business" commented young woman, who, having had her own liy- ing to get, went about it in practical matter of fact way, that insured her success, says the New York Tribune.
 Despite her own apparent convic- tfon to the contrary, the reduced gen. tlewoman is very unattractive. In fact, she is great bore to everyone with whom she comes in contact. It is of no possible interest to anyone that a woman has seen better days. If she wants to make money, she is about that the why and where fore are not interesting to anyone. So many women when they start to do anything for themselves are afraid of losing caste. That IS so foolish. If woman becomes very poor and cannot pay her bills and looks shabby then she does lose caste, but if she succeeds In any honest, le gitimate way, and has money enough to do things and look nice and be inde pendent, then it is easy enough to keep her friends.
 "When I found that unless, did something at once for the support of my mother and myself we would be left penniless, I did not wait for pat ronage from my friends or try to start any amateur business. I went straight to the owner of one of the great establishments where we had always dealt, explained to him my po- sition and asked if he would give me any position that was vacant in any department.
 It happened that one of the trim mers in the dressmaking department was ill, and he gave me her place temporarily. 1 never said a word to mother until I had been there a week and brought her the money, and then to my surprise she made no objection whatever; on the contrary she praised me greatly for taking the bull by the horns so decidedly and said she felt sure that 1 would succeed. Well, did, have now god salary and SUD- port both my mother and myself in great comfort.
 MT c, the head of the concern, seemed greatly pleased that I was will ling to begin at the foot of the ladder asking no preference over his other employees, and he threw every chance for my advancement in my way that he could, and I am now one of his four buyers. go to Paris every year at the firms expense, and have a sal
 
 luxury. Besides all this, one of the greatest interests of my life has arisen out of my becoming shop girl. Long before we lost our money I was and how the other half lived and now have found out by actual experience.
 q at once set to work to make friends with my fellow bread winners and became a member of all their va. arious societies and organizations, not as philanthropist, but as a fellow worker. In that way have obtained an insight and Influence which never could have done if I had not been actually one of them. trust have been able 10 do some good, par ticularly among the lRlf grown cash girls who appealed to he. But, of course, that is neither here nor there, so come back to my mutton to say that If woman is obliged to earn hei living she should do 1t in q business like way and leave her social position with It's attendant advantages and dis advantages entirely out of the ques- tion."

MERE LOCALITIES.

Prosecution upon an information filed by the district attorney, instead of upon indictment of a grand jury, is held, in state vs. Tucker (Ore.), 61 L. R. A. 246, to be sufficient to consti- tute due process of law.
 The right of wife to charge her husband with liability for her neces- saries when she is living apart from him by reason of his misconduct is held, in Ott vs. Hentall (N. H., 51 L.. R. A. 226, not to be defeated by the married women's statutes or by the fact that she has financial ability to provide for herself.
 A razor was judicially held to be deadly weapon by the court of crim- inal appeals of Texas in the case of Scott vs. State (62 s. w. Rep, 419). The court said that in determining the character of weapon, as to wheth- CT it is deadly or not, they were not confined to it's character alone, but could look to the manner of it's use to ascertain whether or not it was deadly.
 Where a company selling fire works to city for celebration, and furnishing men to fire them, has no charge or control over the people or the place where the fireworks were fired, the supreme court of Illinois, in the case of Consolidated Fireworks company vs. Kuehl (6o N. E. Rep, 87) hold that it is not liable for an injury to bystander resulting from negligence in such respect.
 A person charged with crime has a constitutional right to have his case tried by court having jurisdiction, hold the supreme court of Utah in the case of State vs. Morrey (64 Pac. Rep., 764), and his mere silence or failure during the trial to object to the jurisdiction assumed by the court does not constitute a waiver of that right, or prevent him from raising the question at any subsequent stage of the proceedings, or after trial.

HEARD IN PASSING

 San Francisco's largest suburb, Oak, and, obtains its electric force from ! stream 15o miles away. Experience proves that long-distance transmits sion of electric power is success in every way.
 Forty thousand volts were success fully transmitted over 140 miles with loss of not over five per cent. from the power plant on the Yuba river and used in propelling the electric railway cars in the city of Oakland, Cal.
 A self-generating electric light buoy off Bunsum, on the North sea, is so sensitive and so efficient that the slightest motion of the waves oper- ates it. This automatic light has been sufficiently tested to predict it's gem eral use.
 A German inventor has devised cleo tric eyeglasses or spectacles. The frames are made of alternate layers of zinc and copper, which being mois- tened with dilute acid gives an cleo tric current which is claimed to re- store dimmed vision.
 A progressive if not overhonest New Jersey farmer tapped the feeder of trolley line, conveying the cleo trio current under his truck garden by means of network of wire, and had his radishes in half the time it took his slower neighbors to raise them.
 Edison's dream, and we hope his prediction, bids fair to be realized by the discovery of immense bodies of the rare mineral, cadmium, in Col orado mine. Cadmium is used by Edi- son in his recently invented storage battery, and he declared that with such discovery electricity would become cheaper than water"
 It has been proved that electrified seed germinates more rapidly than others, and also by burying in the soil one zinc plate and one copper plate, placed vertically and connected by wire, that potatoes and other roots grown in the electrified space thus secured produce about three times the crop that others do in sim liar soil close by, but without the electricity. It is also applied to the ripening process and found to be sue cessfuL.

TWAIN's BEGGING LETTER.

Begging letters by the hundreds are addressed to Andrew Carnegie daily. A few days ago the iron king received this original missive:
 My Dear MT Carnegie:-I see by the daily papers that you are prosperous. I want to get . hymn book; 1t costs $1.50. If you will send me this hymn book I will bless you, God will bless you, and it will do . great deal of good. Yours truly. Mark Twain.

CAN'T USE THEM.
American Inventions Are Often Ren- dered UseIess by Stupid
 English Builders.

All Americans who have lived in Lontion will have noticed the curious facility with which Englishmen con trive to neutralize American inven- tions by adopting them only in part. It is a symptom of the national myopia which will never unreservedly admit that the English way of doing things Is not the best, says the New York Commercial Advertiser.
 Any American in London could give dozen instances of this trait, and they would embrace most conceivable things, from railroad car couplings to elevators, cocktails and soda foun- tains.
 The genius who put up the building in which occupy a flat may serve as an example. He was evidently infect ed with American ideas. He had heard of elevators and dumb7waiters and speaking tubes, and he had made up his mind to lead all London by includ- Ing these conveniences in his flat houses.
 But instead of connecting the speak ing-tube with the Kitchen, he put it just outside the drawing so that If 1t were used at all, the entire house. hold would have to overhear the struggles of the servants with the tradesmen; and instead of running up the dumb-waiter alongside the Kitchen or pantry, he placed it out side the Hat altogether, in the hall, opposite the elevator. <,
 The consequence is, of course, that neither dumb-waiter nor speaking speaking is utilized, and happy American notion is discredited in English eyes, for lack of simple att tention to the necessary details.

A New York jury has decided that Sunday golf playing is illegal in that state, but that player was not guilty and the law should be repealed. The preachers in that vicinity may offset that decision by making their sermons so interesting that even golf players will not care to miss them.
