In the earliest times of the British
navy there was practically no distinc-
ton between the merchantmen and the
man-of-war. In the rare times of peace
men-of-war traded as merchantmen,
while merchantmen always went arm
ed. Thus in time Of war the trader be-
came the warship and vice versa.
From the time Of the conquest and
probably earlier down to the days of
Elizabeth this was the ordinary prac-
tice. Elizabeth hired out ships of the
navy for all sorts of purposes, from
piracy to slave trading, taking her
share of the profits when the venture
was successful and disclaiming all re-
sponsibility when it wasn't.
Henry Ill, who may be described as
the originator Of the navy as a specials
fighting force, hired out the ships spe-,
cially built for the navy in times of
peace and even allowed them to be
taken away from their appointed sta
tons provided that the hirers deposited
due security for the return of the ships
With their tackle and all equipment in
proper state Of efficiency. The prac-
tice ceased after the repulse of the
Spanish armada, when the fighting
ship, as such, became distinct from the
trader.-London Globe.

The mere fact of an American citizen
taking trip abroad or residing there
for a short period does not deprive
native born citizen Of this country Of
his citizenship, nor does he lose the
right to the protection Of this govern
ment by so doing. If he abandons his
residence here, he loses his right to
vote just as If he moved to another
state, but acquires it again by return
ing to this country. Nearly all the ma
lions on the globe claim the right Of
authority over native born citizens Of
their own countries even after those
citizens have acquired citizenship else
where-that is, if native Russian
comes here and is naturalized, then re-
turns to Russia for visit, the Russian
government might compel him to do
army service despite his American citi-
zenship. This principle was embodied
in the famous expression "once an Eng.
lishman, always an Englishman," Sc
much quoted during the war Of 1872

Meanings of the Word "Stove.H

The word 'stoye," as applied to q
heater for room, seems to be of about
the same age as the article to which the
name is now applied, for while the
word as a name had an existence in
early English it was used in a different
sense.
Both Lord Bacon and Woodward
used it as referring to a house or room
artificially warmed and particularly a
dollhouse for plants. Bacon also used
the word as verb in the way of keep
ing warm in house or room, as Ito
stove orange trees and myrtles," to
quote from his writings Pepys used
the verb in nautical sense, as heating
for the purpose of making pliable, as
"stove bolt ropes"
But all these definitions are obsolete
now, such disuse dating from the time
when DR.. Franklin made his discover
les and applications. The French word
"etuve," it may be added, describes a
dollhouse or bathing room, and hence is
parallel in meaning with the early Eng
fish word.

Pickpockets and Pins.

Artful as the ways of the Heather
Chinee" are the lodges of the expert
picker of pockets. The other night a
young lady who had been to the thea
ter was getting on to a tram car, and,
knowing the possibilities opened up to
the light fingered gentry by crowd,
she kept her hand in her pocket and
grasped her purse firmly. Suddenly
she felt sharp prick as from a pin on
her hand and, acting on the impulse,
let go her hold Of the purse and
Snatched her hand out almost as quick
ly returning it, but she was too late
In the few seconds that had elapsed
another hand had been there, and the
purse was gone.

The Du Points of Powder Fame.


The Du Points own powder mills In
oil parts Of the country from the At
lantic to the Pacific. Among the Du
Points themselves there is a process of
selection for those who are to have to
do with the powder works. The
youngsters are watched, and when
one shows nervousness in the face Of
danger he is placed somewhere else
than in the powder mills. The rule Is
that a Du Pont in person shall always
lead whenever there is imminent dan
ger. A number Of Du Points first and
last-and some of them important ones
have been killed under this rule, and
there repeatedly have been heroic es-
capes from death through this disre-
gard of the fear of it.
The family rule is despotism, and
q very strict one. The family always
has head, and what this head or
chief says the other members of the
family do. This headship does not
necessarily descend from father to son,
even when there are sons. Sometimes
it goes from uncle to nephew, the main
point being to secure Du Pont thor
oughly competent to manage the bust
ness affairs of the family.-New York
Tribune.
