afterward, when his friend was incapa-

poverty, the lieutenant commander

in late years his patience under griev-
Gus physical sufferings caused by ex-

testimony to the brave and kindly
spirit that became even Drawer and
nobler as the end drew near. We re-
call with honest pride the stern sense
of duty that during the Spanish war

ailments which made every day end in
all but helpless exhaustion. Since his
death we have learned a story of ten

Benjamin Harrison's Big, Big ID.

Harrison was SO devout a church
member that many persons have re-
fused to believe that he had ever been
profane. Only one instance is recalled,
and that is substantiated, like a CORE
spending incident in George Washing
tons career, by the testimony of ear
witnesses. 1t was in the Atlanta cam
paign in 1864, when, as colonel of the
Seventeen Indiana volunteers, he took
a conspicuous part in the battle of
Peach Tree Creek. The regiment was
lying under cover, with strict orders
to hold its fire until the command was
given. One man, too excited and nerv-
Gus to lie still, sprang up and fired
Col. Harrison seized his blanket, which
was done up in a roll and fastened
with a strap, and jumping up, hurled
it at the excitable soldier, at the same
time shouting out a loud, hearty, ro-
tund Damn The blanket struck the
soldier full in the face, and either that,
or the unexpectedness of the profane
word from his exemplary colonel laid
him fat on his back, ready to obey or
ders for the rest of the campaign.
Profanity seemed to be in the air that
day, for Gen. Hooker riding down the
line after the fight, seized the young
colorePs hand and wrung it as he
shouted: Harrison, by GIN rake
you brigadier-general for this." And
he was as good as his word.-Boston

usual cruise during the coming sum-
mer Such drills as may occur will be
limited to the regular exercises held

Abandonment of the cruise on a regu-

lack of interest shown in the service
last summer, when the Prairie was as
signed to take the naval militia of the
Atlantic and gulf states to sea, and to
the failure of any of the organizations
to request that the ship be assigned to
them for cruising purposes this sum-

spread tea tables for the O'Clock en-
Itertainment of the fair guests, but
many of the more progressive stu
dents provided elaborate luncheons,
suppers and even dinners which had
the charm of novelty for the young
women and their chaperons from out
of town. Many of these feasts were
provided by caterers and were accom-

the spaghetti was added gradually.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese was

The new Bishop of London has al
ready given his diocese a glimpse of
his sterling democracy. Speaking to
an audience of working men at a
neighborhood settlement house in
Whitechapel, he said that he had often
noticed in coffee-houses the sign, "A
good pull-up for cabmen." He intend
ed to make the settlement house a
good pull-up for bishops" His Of
fee, he found, required that he keep
a carriage; but if any of his hearers
saw him driving alone he hoped they
would give him a hail; he should be
glad to give them a lift. Bishop In
gram has been a most sympathetic and
successful worker among the poor and
unfortunate of East London, to whom
he is a familiar figure and a trusted
friend. The king has recently placed
the stamp of royal approval on his
work by appointing him dean of the
royal chapels.

Belfast, Ireland, the other day, still
further emphasizes the tendency to in
crease the dimensions of oceah-going
craft. The Celtic is the largest ves-
sci ever built, not only SURPRISING the

800 tons greater than the Great East
ern. Her dimensions are: Length,
6s1 feet; beam, rs feet; depth, Al feet;
gross tonnage, 2O,Ss0; net, 1850; dis
placement, 80 900. The Celtic is not
designed for speed but as an emigrant
carrier, her capacity being 2,S59 pas
sengers, besides a crew of 335. AL
though the Celtic is too slow to be
conspicuous as an ocean greyhound -
her enormous size will make her an
object of keen interest, at least until

Cider Cure
for SMALLPOX

apple cider as a preventive and cure

one in the southwest, has seen a wide

pure apple cider was helping his pa

quantity from the east and distributed
it among his fellow sufferers. Drs-
