SOCKS AND SAILORS
The Good, old-FashfSpfpqed Wooden Kind
Still Worn at Sea,


From the New York Sun bsL
On a little placard In the window of an
Quitting store down South street, where
the ships come fn this appears:
"All-wool Nova Scotia Socks" ~.
Nova Scotia is a ffanfe applied to a par
ticular kind or socks that, as q" matter Of
fact. is made m the United States and
knitted by machines but that looks, never
theless, for all the world just like the socks
that mother used to,make." with knitting
needles. in the days before knitting ma
chimes had been heard 9of;; thick. wooden
socks such as once, were far, more com
monty worn than they are now. Nova
Scotia socks are bought by sailormen, who
sailing In all sorts Of latitudes, and abroad
In all kinds Of weather. want stockings
that keep the feet warm. D.,
They are made in various grades, the
best Of them of hne, soft WOOL and made
with double feet, thick. warm, comfortable
stockings. indeed. selling for as much as
not pay so much for his boots and shoes
he does pay. very likely. more for his stock
ings than does the average citizen ashore.
These thick wooden stockings that the
sailor man buys are mostly in quiet colors
In grays and browns and blues, or in mix
lures of some one of these several colors
with white. Anybody old enough to re-
member such stockings when they were
looking strangely familiar. as. for exa mple
the socks in clouded effects, knitted Of
yarn. dyed in stretches of some color al
ternatfng with white: as yarn with
stretch OF brown. gray and a stretch Of
white, producing the elouded effect when
knitted into q sock. -
There will be seen in the stock few
reds and red mixtures, but not many, and
the dealer says there is little call for such.
Some people, he says, have an idea that
sailors go in for gaudy things; but IL you
were to take down, for instance, any box
OF shirts in the store you would find the
pinks and the bright colors always among
those that were left. the darker or more
sober colors being invariably taken first.
Italian sailors and the men from some
other southern countries may prefer bright
colored things but the Americans, the
Englishmen. the Swedes and the Norwe-
glans go In for things in quiet colors.
Hence the colors prevailing among the
socks. But what does a man do" asked
the reporter. when he gets hole in his
thick stockings? Suppose he's off Cape
Horn or somewhere, a thousand miles
away, where he can't get anybody to darn
them?
why, he darns them himself" said the
dealer. Every sailorman carries in his
kit darning needles and a supply Of darn
ing yarn; and when his stockings need
darning he darns them. And while they
may not all be good darners, there are
sailors who can darn stockings as well as
anybody living"

Purkfnje discovered a very simple
and highly entertaining experiment by
means Of which the retina. with all its
veins and blood vessels standing out In
relief against it, can be thrown into the
air before ones eyes. 1t is called the
aborescent figure. to fits likeness to a
many branched tree, and is produced in
the following manner: In dark room
at night move candle backward and
forward before the eyes. After few
seconds the air will assume reddish
appearance, and running over Ii In all
directions may be seen the veins and
blood vessels in bold relief. while to-
ward the center of the figure there
rises up dark trunk, from which the
veins branch out on all sides.
The trunk is visible where the optic
nerve enters the eye, and this expert
ment is chiefly interesting TO the stu
dent as proving that the parts OF che
retina which actually receive and pro-
duce the sensation of light must lie be-
hind the blood vessels. since these cast
their shadow on to it and cen be seen
as clearly as any other object exter-
nally.

they Didn,t Interfere.

Governor Bob Taylor of Tennessee
had a heart as tender as woman, and
the way he pardoned out convicts was
something awful. He was waited upon
by committee of the legislature, who
very fatty and in no uncertain way
told him that this wholesale pardon
ing must stop"
.'Gov'ner Bob looked at the commit
tee, tapped bell. asked for his pardon
clerk and when be came said:
Make out pardons for every man in
the penitentiary."
The clerk bowed and withdrew. Then
the governor looked at the committee,
who were staring as if they thought he
was going mad.
Gentlemen" he said finally, II am
governor of Tennessee. and If this COM
mittee or any other ever again seeks to
interfere with my constitutional right
to pardon III sign every one Of those
pardons which the clerk is making out.

The House Was shaky.

When John Quincy Adams was eighty
years of age, he met in the streets Of
Boston an old friend, who shook his
trembling hand and said, Good morn
ing. and how is John Quincy Adams to-

THANK YOU was the expresident's
answer. "John Quincy Adams himself
is well. sir; quite well, | thank you.
But the house in which he lives at pres
ent is becoming dilapidated. 1t is tot
tering upon its foundation. Time and
the seasons have nearly destroyed it.
Its roof is pretty well worn out. Its
walls are much shattered, and it trem-
bles with every wind. The old tene-
ment is becoming almost uninhabita-
BILE, and | think John Quincy Adams
will have to move out of it soon. But
he himself is quite well, sir; quite

With that the venerable sixth presl-
dent Of the United States moved on
with the aid of his staff.

OWNED BY CATHOLIC CHURCH.
But Porto Ricon Governor Has No
Authority to Turn Over Prop
erty-Aegisiation Wanted.

Washington, June 13.-Bishop
Bienk. of Porto Rico, called at the
state department yesterday to consult
with Solicitor Penfield respecting GER
tain converts and conyentual lands
in Porto Rico. 1t appears that there
were two converts, one valued at
100000 and the other at $4,000.
with lands of the value of 100000, in
the possession of the Spanish govern
Inent when the United States as
sufned control over Porto Rico.
The Catholic church claims these
converts and lands, and 1t is under
stood that the governor of Porto Rico
regards the claim as equitable, but is
without authority of law to turn over
the property, which is now in his pos
session, to the church. Therefore
Bishop Blenk is seeking legislation
at the hands of congress to straighten
out the title to the property.
