A Navy Of Americans.

1t is pleasing to note that Boatswain
Deery has been commended for bravery
by his commander, and that he will
probably be voted a medal of honor by
Congress. When the torpedo boat
Adder was laundering in q great gale
Off the Virginia coast last week, it was
this young man who swan 100. yards
with q lire to the Adder from his ship
and pulled a hawser after him. 1t was
an act calling for iron nerve and almost
superhuman strength, every instant III
the raging sea being a struggle with
death. Then. hand over hand through
and under the icy waters, he returned
to his ship on the hawser which he had
fastened to the Adder. 1t was an act
as notable and commendable as those
which have ilnmortaliZed the names OF
many brave men in war, but, coming as
it did in times of peace, it attracted
relatively little notice. Deery is plainly
of the stuff which has made our navy
famous and invincible.
1t is pleasing to note by the annual
report of Secretary Moody that our
naval forces are yearly becoming more
free of the foreign element which has
hitherto constituted such large per-
centage in them. When a heroic deed
is done or to be done it is a Dardonable
patriotism which desires that full
blood American have the honor OF the
responsibility. Boatswain Deery Is
native born, and his tribe is increasing.
There are now in the navy, including
petty officers, landsmen and appren-
tees 27..45 enlisted men. OF this num-
Der 1913 per cent are native born ana
1O.9 per cent raturaliZed citizens. The
total percentage of citizenship is there
fore 9O.7 per cent. Among the lands
men for training, the percentage OF
native born citizens is SO: naturallZed
or having declared their intentions 81
per cent; aliens resident in the United
States and those nonresident, only
three-tenths of per cent. This pres
pnt showing is better than that of amy
previous year, and compares very
favorably with that Of many European
nations.
Until the Spanish war life in our
navy, like in our army, was not iooheo
upon as very attractive to enlisted men,
and as a consequence officers were COM
PEELED to accept privates indiscriml-
nately, and rely not so much upon
patriotism as upon the esprit de corps
to assure Il loyalty to the colors. The
filling up of these organizations by the
alien horn was one Of the chief causes
why they seemed for so long . While
senarato end distinct from the country
and it's people. With an agreeable
reverse, the increased percentage Oh
native born or naturalized and sea-
soncd citizens is Eow making the army
and navy popular institutions. II the
increase continues it will soon be prac-
t'cable for the government to deny the
privilege of enlistment to aliens.

MOTHER AND CHILD

SCOTS Emulsion is cod
liver oil made almost as
palatable as milk. 1t is easy
and soothing to the weak
stomach; it checks the ten
denotes of children toward
thinness.
SCOTS Emulsion gives
strength to weak mothers be-
cause it creates healthy flesh
and new blood.
Nursing mothers will find
a special value in SCOTS
Emulsion because it insures
a flow of rich, nourishing
milk for the baby. More and
better than a medicine;
SCOTS Emulsion is a food.

That is what you must do when you

cure this disease Is to purify the blood
with Hoods Sarsaparilla. This medi-

and permanently cures catarrh by ex-

Excitement sometimes happens at the
Bangor custom house, caused by the
curious things coming in the mails, but
last week, the officials came across a
surprise package that was everything
that the name implies. The articles
passing through the custom house at
this time are many and as they all have
to be examined. Deputy Inspector
Darrows has busy time of it while it
lasts. Tie other day, while Inspector
Barrows was making his examination
of the packages, he came across Il
neatly wrapped-up candy box that
looked innocent enough but on opening
it, he found, nicely dressed up in dolls
clothes, q good sized rat. The rats
wardrobe was complete to the first
detail. 1t had been sent from Canada
and was going to Massachusetts. In
spector BarroWS, it is needless to say,
did not lose any time in putting the
cover of the box on. The box and rat
will be consigned to the waters
of the kenduskeag or some
other fitting grave, as the postal
regulations governing and sending of
dead animals through the mail are very
strict.

There's a world of the pureSt bliss
That is linked as that soul and form arc
linked.
BY covered bridge with this.
Yet to reach that realm on the other
shore
W. must pass through a transient
gloom.
And must walk unseen, unhelped and
alone
Through that covered bridge, the tomb,
But we all pass over on equal terms,
For the universal toll
Is the outer garb which the hand of God
Has flung around the soul.
Though the eye is dim and the bridge
dark,
And the river it spans is wide.
Yet Faith points through to Il shining
mount
That looms on the other side.
To enable our feet, in the next day:

We must all lie down for IL one night 5

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Barber Shop Loafers.
Oft. Fairfield ReVieW.)


Don't loaf away your time in Il barber
shop. Perhaps you are not wanted
there, particularly if there are people
waiting to get shaved who are thus
crowded out of a seat. Then, often q
man wishing q shave looks into a shop,
and, seeing it about full shuts the door
again and goes his way. because he
cannot afford to wait so long as it
appears by the full condition. of the
shop that he may have to wait. The
barber is in this way injured by his
supposed friends. 1t seems as if many
men actually have the idea that the
principal use of barber shop is that
of a place to idle away their time in.
Of course it is the BARRIERS business to
be pleasant. and he will not generally
suggest that people ought to leave. even
though he may wish they would do so.
i5ut. if consideration for the barber
himself will keep a man from loafing
in his shop, surely the mans considera-
ton for himself will keep him from do
ing SO, for the very reason that his
time can otherwise be much better
employed.

The Brunswick Record relates the
following incident: A little boy who
one afternoon recently asked for a book
at the Public library had such dirty
hands that Miss Gilman, the librarian
led him to u wash bowl and saw that
he gave them Il thorough Scrubbng.
After helping the lad select a book Miss
Gilman said, Don't you think it is
much nicer to keep your hands clean?"
Yes, he replied. but l washed them
yesterday morning."
A Bath physician had 4 peculiar case
q few weeks ago. A workman running
a lathe, monkeyed with the saw and
finger was cut off so that it hung only
by a little flesh. He clapped back the
finger into position and rushed to the
doctors office. The surgeon got out
his knife and other things needful to
amputate the finger but the workman
objected. The physician said that
there was a bare chance, and only Il
very slight one for the finger to be
saved. but if the workman wished to
take it, he would see what he could do.
That was nearly three weeks ago, and
in two weeks, pricking the tip of the
mended finger, blood came, and it looks
rs though the finger might finally grow
as good as it was before.
Here are some timely hints on the
art of not taking cold evolved by the
versatile editor of the Bengor News:
PLENTY of warm clothing with flanne!s
next the skin are the surest safeguards
against chllS and colds If one must
be out of doors for long during in
element weather. he should move
about and keep the blood circulating. If
one works in cold rooms or in the open
air in winter, he should have warm
garments at hand to put on the
moment the task is finished. 1t is
much better to perspilc freely and
| often than it is to run the risk of taxi
| ing chill. Keep warm and keep NOV
! ing. Avoid sitting in draft. Eat
wholesome foods, take plenty of fresh
| Dir and keep the pores open by frequent
| baths. Medicine can do small good in
such cases. If one gets a cold, medi-
| cine can hurry it's departure, though
| there is no remedy that can effect an
| immediate cure. More than onc-half
| of those who are stricken with pneu-
mOnia owe their sickness to lack ofcare
