THE AMERICAN SAILOR.

The sailors life is not altogether one of hard work, and on the whole he has a very good time. Dancing, gynnas- tics, fencing, boxing and boat racing fill his leisure hours. His natural fond ness for pets is proverbial, and there are few ships without mascot be it a goat. dog or Dennis the pig, which serves to tighten the hours of the dull watches at sea. Many stories are told of the prowess of ships pets at night on the forecastle, when the ilammocks are down and the pipes lighted. One man spins 8 yarn of cat that was born in an old boiler. cruised fifty thousand miles in one ship, estab- lished 8 great reputation as a fighter in all parts of the world and finally ended his adventurous career on the coral reefs of Samoa, says a writer in the Worlds Work. Another tells of a monkey without ears or tail, with which he stilled in the China seas whose fondness sor liquid paint pro- duced periodical attacks of blindness There is a story of dissipated dog who never lost an opportunity to get drunk and who always recognized the bugle call for the gig and invariably ran to the gangway when it sounded to go ashore with the captain. But the best of all is the one of the pet bear who chased young officer up the mig zen rigging. Fortunate indeed is the animal that falls into the hands of a sailor.
 "The sailor man has his vagaries," |" once said the bishop of Shanghai over the coffin of a sailor who had taken his own life, "but he is the tenderest hearted creature in.o which God ever breathed the breath of life"

THE PRICKLY PEAR OF AFT


 Mischievous though the prickly pear is, it is not without it's good qualities. Its juicy fruit, though rather deficient in flavor, is delightfully."- cool and re- freshing in the dry heat of the sum- mer, and a kind of treacle is made of 1t.
 Great caution is needed in peeling the prickly pear, the proper way being to impale the fruit on a fork or stick while you cut it open and remove the skin, and woe betide the fingers of the unwary thew chum" who plucks the treacherous fruit.
 In dry weather at the cape these spiteful little stings do not even wait for the newly arrived victim, but fly about, light as thistledown, ready to settle on any one who has not learned by experience to give the prickly pear bushes wide berth.-"Home Life on an Ostrich Farm

Social Interest
 Cenfered in Presentation.

Aside from the patriotic interest at tached to the presentation of the silver service to the battleship Alabama, the occasion was one of great social brilian- cy
 "Other than ordinary interest centered upon the four boxes, says a correspond ent In the upper left were parties of ladies. Miss Eoline Russell, the cultured daughter of Col. E. l.. Russell, with her party; in the other adjoining. Miss Jes- sica Whiting, daughter of the general chairman of the presentation ceremony. and party; opposite to Miss Russens box was that of Miss Maribel Williams. the charming daughter of Hon. Price Will iams, Jr, and party. and beside them Hon. O. J. Semmes son of the lamented Admiral Raphael Semmes, sometime com mander of the Confederate Alabama; Mrs. Semmes Colsston, a daughter. and party.
 Miss Russell attracted more than or dinary interest because of having written the inscriptions engraved on the silver service. Miss Williams. the pride of the Mobile Press club and It's sponsor. by her presence and charming manner aided in the good cause In the initial movement of the Mobile Press club when the fete was given here for the fund to be devoted to the purchase of the service. Miss Rus sell, in being selected to write the inscrip- tion, proved a happy selection and the words graven on the silver pieces of the service will prove historic so long as the service lasts.

Engagement of Miss
 Alice CaSfIemaH.

"fhe most beautiful girl in the south that is what they call her-has been won by New Yorker. The girl is Miss Alice Castleman daughter of Gen. and Mrs. John B. Castleman of Louisville Ky, and the lucky man is Augustus c. Hone, nephew of August Belmont and assistant master mechanic of the Louis- vile and Nashville railroad He is the son of John Hone. a well known New Yorker and member of many clubs He lives at No. Gramercy park, says the New York World.
 The engagement was announced simul- taneously in New York and Louisville Here il was given out by the relatives of the brdegroom- be; there at the Pendennis club at a dinner given by Breckinridge Castleman to Major and Mrs. David Castleman and to Lieut.. and Mrs. Kenneth Castleman.
 Lieutenant Castleman, the prospective brides brother, was married only two weeks ago to Miss Jessie Norton. Her father, General Castleman, Is among the best known men in Kentucky, and dur ing the war with Spain commanded one ol lHe Olu sldte $ star regiments.
 His two daughters are Miss Elise and Miss Alice. Miss Alice is a superb type of southern blonde; the other, Miss Elise. Is a stately brunette. When the battle- ship Kentucky was launched, in March, 1898, Mss Alice was one of the bevy of beautiful Kentucky girls who helped send her down the ways, while the loyal sons of Daniel Boone's state, disgusted at a christening with water, hurled hundreds of flasks of good old Bourbon at the war ships stalwart iron sides
 Miss Castleman Is known from Maine to California; as perfect type of blonde beauty. 1t was she whom John Jacob Astor chose as his partner for the grand march at the Charity ball several years ago. thus giving her the entree into the best society in New York.
 She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen" said the gallant colonel, and from that day to this Alice Castleman has reigned a belle not only in the chivalrous southland, but here in prosaic New York.

NO JOKE
But 90 Pounds of Solid Flesh.

But SU POunuS or SOlO FleSn.
 If Mark Twain should write a story about person who weighed 90 pounds and increased her weight to 1S0 pounds Cor double) in one year by quitting coffee and drinking Fostum Coffee, everyone who read it would say, There's a joke behind that somewhefe."
 There Is d well known lady in Coraop- oils, Pa, who actually made this gain in weight as the direct result of leaving off coffee and taking up Postum Food Coffee. It was very earnest matter ano. far from joke for her. Her gain in gen eral health kept pace with the increase in weight.
 She says: "For many years l suffered with stomach Arrangement and violent and oft-recurring headaches. It was not an unusual thing for our family of four to use 2h to pounds of coffee a week l was suspicious that my troubles were due to coffee, but as l did not like tea or cocoa or chocolate. there seemed no pal atable hot drink for me tc take at my meals.
 Then it was I heard of Postum and decided to try it. l was just convalescing from serious illness, and was very weak and emaciated. l know it sounds like what people would call fish story but l actually went from 90 pounds to lS0 pounds weight in one year. All the sallow- ress disappeared from my skin. and now carry my 40 years very lightly indeed. My change in health is so great that many of my friends make joke of 1t to this day, but my nerves are good and am happy and contented so can afford to laugh with them.
 II first learned of Postum from a famI- ly in Indianapolis where l saw the mother of six children emerge from h- validism to perfect health on Postiim after leaving off coffee. Soon after that another friend made remarkable reeov- cry by dropping coffee and using Postum and when moved here neighbor shook off coffee and nervous dyspepsia and built himself up on the food drink. So l heard of one after another until 1 don't know how many I have known of who have recovered from disease of same sort by leaving off the drug coffee and using Postum Food Coffee.
 You are at liberty to use my name" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Greek, Mich.
