shed. with their accompaniment Of
thrilling stories OF heroic deeds. or
those, even, who would have all inter.
national and domestic controversies
settled by arbitration have reason to
rejoice that when Congress, a few
years ago. had inserted a provision in
the naval Appropriation bill that re.
pairs TO all wooden vessels should be
discontinued, II excepted the famous
old ships, Hartford and Kearsarge.
Since then the Kearsarge has met the
fate OF so many other ships, having
been wrecked on a reef in the Carib-
bean sea- But the old Hartford, in
commission, with her officers and
crew on board and in their distinctive
and fascinating uniforms, and the ship
with her lofty and symmetrical masts
and spars and her sails furled. and
every rope in place, has been most
interesting to visitors during her re-
cent visit to the navy yard. She is
now on the records as doing duty in
the coast squadron and has left the
navy yard and gone to Annapolis.
The old ship is a different looking
vessel, so far as the interior is con.
cerned, from the one which Farragut
commanded at the battles or the
Mississippi river In 1862, and at Mobile

is little left Of the old ship beyond her
keel and frame, she has not lost her
outward identity and any Of those
who were familiar with her In the
days Of the civil war would recognize
her now She was originally steam
vessel, or sloop-of-war. OF 1900 tons

In 1858. She has the same graceful
and symmetrical lines that she pre-
scented on that hot summer day when
she led the wooden feet past the guns
of Fort Morgan, in 1854. at the battle
Of Mobile Bay, when Farragut won an.
other OF his great victories and coined
the phrase that has gone down into
history, when he called out to the
commander Of the Brooklyn (who had
hauled his ship out Of the line when
he saw one Of the monitors so down
by an explosion Of torpedo). Damn

Dance Of Fijian Girls.

"Dancing?' said the old traveller
scornfully. You folks at home, with
your two-cent waltzes and polkas don I
know what real dancing is. You should
see the girls dance In Fiji as have
seen them.
They call their dances 'mekes, and
the best CT them all Is the wave
meke. A lot Of pretty girls. in two or
thee rows, act the movements of the
sea as II rolls in upon the reefs.
First Of all. they bend down In uni.
son and sweep the ground slowly with
their hands, waving their fingers in
order to represent the little wayelets
decked by the wind. Then they sway
their bodies TO and fro to show the
long roll OF the tropical wave: and
presently their figures rise and fall as
10 the breakers. The action OF the
dance becomes more and more violent.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applications as they cannot reach the dis
eaasd portion OF the ear. There Is only one way
TO cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inhamed con.

When this tube Is inhamed you have a umbling
sound OF imperfect hearing, and when Il Is entirely
