After the war Sampson was detailed for
service at the Naval academy and remained
there from 1868 to 1871 as head of the depart

several years he was attached to the Con-
gress, but his first command was the Alert,

Sampson was given command of the North
Atlantic station, and he blockaded the ports

Trouble with ONLY"

The postal authorities of Great Brit
ain are having trouble with the word
'only" on the face of the postcard,
Several attempts have been made to
avoid ambiguity, says the Boston
Transcript. "The address only to be
written on this side" was held to bar
the use of a typewriter or a printing
press, which was not at all the inten-
tion of the postofiice. The "only" has
now been dropped, in Difference to a
colonial precedent, and there is no
direct prohibition against carrying the
letter over to the face of the postcard;
yet the correspondent who tries that
plan will hardly be blessed by the reci-
pient, who is fined penny. The post
al authorities of this country wrestled
with the same problem. Six attempts
have been made to find a brief, elegant
and unambiguous legend. An early
postal card was inscribed Nothing
but the address can be placed on this
side" which was neither true nor ele-
giant. Nothing but the address to be
on this side" was more to the point.
But it looked clumsy, and the next
issue had write only the address on
this side" which was objected to as
barring the typewriter. Write the ad-
dress only on this side, the message
on the other" followed, and was
promptly criticised as being both
clumsy and ambiguous. Then the
word "only" was dropped, without
much Improvement. Finally Uncle
Sans hrelings gave up the struggle
to be original, and simply adapted the
French announcement into This side
for address only"

Bonner as q rypesetter.

One Of the old-time compositors,
who holds down a case in the Govern
ment Printing Office, once worked on
the Hartford Courant with the late
Robert Bonner when he was zinc
singer in that office. He says that
one day tourist came along, and,
after mixing around in the composing
room and doing the panhandling act
to the queens taste, announced that he
was about the swiftest printer that
ever came down the pike or counted
crosstes He said he was spelling for
a contest with some swift, and under
stood that Bonner was one of the men
who found it necessary to drop water
in his space box to prevent setting his
case on fire.
Mr.. Bonner finally grew tired of the
tourists bluffs, and said that, while
he, was not betting man, he would
go him a ten spot for a little trial Of
speed. Strange to say, the tourist"
produced a ten, which Bonner covered,
and the two men got down to their
knitting. In twenty hours and TWEEN
ty-eight minutes Mr.. Bonner had set
and corrected 25,O00 ems of solid min
ion, besides taking time to store away
three pieces of pie and two glasses of
milk. The tourist was showed under
by more than 1000 ems. Mr.. Bonner
was the first man to enter a typeset-
ting contest in America, and it is a
coincidence that Leo Monheimer, the
last to win one, died within one week
of Mr.. Bonner. The greatest record
Mr.. Bonner ever made was setting and
correcting $4,000 ems in twenty-four
hours, an average of about 1875 ems
an hour. Washington Post.

FROGS and the telegraph.

, One of the greatest enemies Of the
overland telegraph line in central Aus
tralia is the common green frog. In
order to save the insulators from be.
ing broken by the lightning they are
provided with wire choppers" leading
round them at little distance to con.
duct on to the iron pole in case of need.
The frogs climb the poles and fird the
insulators cool and pleasant to their
bodies, and fancy that the "dropper"
is put there to furnish them with a
back seat After a nap they yawn and
stretch out leg until it touches the
pole-result, sudden death to the frog,
and as the body continues to conduct
the current to earth we have a para
graph in the papers to the effect that
"in consequence OF an interruption to
the lines probably caused by CYCLIC
mic disturbance in the interior, we are
unable to present our readers with the
usual cables from England"

Football in Japan,

Among the many things that Japan
borrowed from China was football,
said to have been introduced as early
as the middle Of the seventh century.
The Emperor Toba II. was an expert
player, and got up a club at his pal.
ace, Considering how averse most
Orientals are to hard work and vigor.
Gus exercise, it may be supposed that
the game was very different from
ours. Nevertheless, the Japanese form
seems to have been popular, and we
may trace the beginning Of profes-
sionalism to an emperor and his court,
of whom 1t is told that in a time OF
poverty, they earned a little extra
money by teaching the art of foot
ball

STRANGE Marine Search.

Little julius Cohep was drowned
twelve days ago at Col.cy Island creek
and the body has been recovered IN
a most unusual manner. After the
father had the creek dragged day
after day, unsuccessfully, a sailor
said
Get a loaf of bread and cut the
center out. Then fill the hole with
quicksilver and put the bread in the
water near where the boy was
drowned. 1t will float until directly
over the spot where the body lies
and then sink"
The loaf was prepared and placed
on the water. 1t floated for half an
hour, then settled in the water and
suddenly shot under, The child's body
was found directly beneath the spot

rurn;nn une Coin into TWO.

Fill glass about half full of pure
clear water. Drop into the water the
newest, brightest 25-cent piece you

glass with a plate. Then invert the
combination, so that the glass stands
upside down in the plate. Do this as

comes in: A 25-cent piece appears tc

EXPLAINS PELEE's ACTIONS.
Views of Prof. Verril on the Recent
Eruption.

Some Of the phenomena attending
tue destruction of st. Pierre have
been dificult to explain, especially
the sheet of flame that seems to have
accompanied or closely followed the
violent explosion of gas.
Prof. Verrill of Yale states his view
to be that the heat is sufficient to
cause the dissoclation of hydrogen
and oxygen from water coming sud-
denly into contact with the lava in the
crater, and that in the case of sea
water chloride would be dissociated
from sodium.
These gases suddenly elected with
great violence and exploding in the
air above the crater would produce
the effects manifested on so great
scale at Martinique.
The people were killed by the sud.
den explosion of a vast volume of
hydrogen and oxygen; and this ac-
counts for the sudden burning Of flesh
and clothes. as well as of buildings
and of vessels in the roadstead.
The chlorine combining with some
Of the hydrogen would produce hydro.
chloric acid, which is poisonous and
suaocating and would quickly kill all
those not destroyed by the first ex.

"pon,t Crowd,v Said the Parrot.

Daniel Swearingen owned a hand
some green parrot that was said to be
the largest of the many parrots in
town. 1t was docile and kind and
many privileges were accorded it.
Finally it grew despondent and took
up its habitat in the hills north of
Wellsville. A number of men discov-
cred Jack in a tall tree near town a
few days ago. The parrot was OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Swearingen of a ticket
seller at a circus and is a good talker.
The men found it surrounded by q
bevy of robins, swallows and crows.
Jack was making his antagonists a
great speech and was saying: Now,
don't crowd up, gentlemen. One at. a
time and you'll be all accommodated.
There are tickets for all of you"
When crow gave him a savage
peck the parrot said; "Get away, you
black beggar; let the other people
come up and be served"
Just then the parrot caught the crow
by the neck and gave him a wrench
that sent him to the ground. A futile
endeavor was made to capture the
ird.--Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph

While peace negotiations we're
pending in South Africa, the new
colonial government went ahead just
as if the war was over and the terri
tory already at peace. The Trans
vaal government issued a set of post
age stamps, which are in great de-
mand by collectors. There are ten va
rieties, each of a different color, rang
ing in price from one cent to $3.50.
All Of the stamps bear the head of
King Edward, facing to the left, in
an oval within finely beaded frame,
in gray black Above the head is a
crown and at the foot. the word
''Transvaal." The one-cent stamps,
are bluish-green, and the colors of
the others range from a scarlet to

UNFOLDING OF LEAVES.
Study of Process Through Which Nature
Carries All Plant Life.


Carries All Plant Life.
Let us glance then over the crowd Of
leaves that unfold before us in the
spring, noting that even under the indi.
vidual peculiarities Of families we can
trace some seven or eight broad lines
of action, to which all more or less con.
form. Consequently, in taking up one
leaf we are taking up the type Of a
number Of others, an6 yet at every
step our interest increases as we see
the individual asserting itself even in
following a type.
The first to attract our notice are
plants which hold their leaves aloft
and uncoil them, fiag-like, in majestic
manner to welcome the spring. The
stem bearing each leaf is continued as
a strong rib up through the leaf, and
round it the leaf is wrapped as a flag is
furled. In one Of these we recognize
the arum lily, stately plant, which
in its warm and comfortable quarters,
can well afford to be imperial in its
bearing, for it has none of the struggle
which such a plant as the primrose
knows when it bravely faces the SHOWS
of February and the bitter winds of
March.
And the primrose leaves bear evi.
dence Of the struggle in their very at
titude. They are not held aloft like
the arum flag, for the cold would nip
them through and through, but instead
each little leaf, putting a brave front
on the matter, only appears on its face
as stout rib of lightish green. But
turn over the baby leaf, and you will
find two little tight rolls Of delicate
green tissue wrapped away snugly on
its back behind the rib. The more
fragile parts of the leaf naturally shrink
from the cold wind, and curl them
selves up and shelter behind the most
robust parts '-'N's>. >.s~7,.o
Pick up leaves of older growth, TAX
Ing their various stages from youth to
maturity. and you will see how grad
ually the little tight coils unloose as
the baby leaf grows and becomes more
able to bear exposure, helped, too, in
its development by the softening in
duence of approaching spring. The
ellis unwind, moving farther and far
ther from one another, and the face Of
the leaf broadens at each side, until
at length the full-grown familiar prim-
rose leaf lies before us. The crocus
and the large dock leaves are among
those that follow the example of the
primrose in curling themselves back
ward in their youth.
Other leaves start life rolled up in
much the same way, but forward, not
backward, and thus at first carefully
hide their main central rib. AS they
grow the coils roll back like curtains
on either hand, and discover the face
Of the leaf. The violet is good Illus
tratiOn Of this habit, and so, too, are
the leaves of the little pink begonia,
though they are cast in a somewhat
primmer mold. d.--Pittsburg Gazette.
