he had found just the man he wanted
to act as his orderly and before the dav
had passed the marine was assigned to
that task.
But 1t turned out that the admiral
had selected a raw recruit, a true son
Of Erin, who knew nothing of the sea
or ships. Pretty soon the admiral sum-
moned him and asked:

thoughtful. Il dunno. I'll see. sor."
Fifteen minutes later he placed a
large dish of steaming oatmeal before
the admiral. Saluting. he explained.
""Tis all the male 1 could find on

The birth of lacemaking dates back to the days of Greek maidens who watched the spider make its web and copied the pattern with fine threads of aax. The art has developed to the point of producing brussels point, which is so delicate in texture that the dryness of the air makes the threads brittle; therefore the makers of the finest kinds have to work in damp eel lars. using magnifylng glasses. On the altar cloths and vestments of the church will be seen the most beautiful 1f the old rose point as it was made by the nuns in their convent cells and ded- lcated to the use of the church. Every one is familiar with the painting of Queen Bess, the Dress Lover which shows her with high rudles embroid- ,red with seed pearls. The portraits of Queen Charlotte display this keenest of lace lovers in hoops of balIoon-like Gounces of her priceless lace. Queen Victoria preferred to lay away in laven- ter boxes the piles of inherited laces.

A strnnre PIrnts story.

aAEAmAG AAAAAN HAWAaH
 In the museum at Kingston, Jamai- a. there are some tattered ships pa iers. brown with age and salt water md a small tin canister. These articles ,ttest the truth of the suangest pirate tory ever told.
 In l799 the crew of the Nancy brig were apparently honest traders, but lid some piracy now and then on the dde. One day they found 1t necessary 70 go into Kingston for supplies. Be Gore doing so they naturally removed all traces of their buccaneering trade. Among other things they threw over board this tin canister stuffed with pa- oers taken from ships they had sunk with comments written on the margin by the pirate captain.
 Later in the day British frlgate was becalmed near the spot and the sailors spent their leisure catching sharks. Presently they hauled up a big fellow, cut him open and found the Gin case with the papers inside. These were taken to the captain, who as soon as breeze sprung up sailed Into Kingston harbor found the Nancy brig there and had the crew tried, convicted and hanged in chains at Port Royal.

The clothrs are sent away to be washed and blcached, and when they are re- turned they are drawn up to the laun- dry by means of a pulley and dangle for a time right in the drawing room windows, to the infinite delectauon of the guests.

Nome Nugget Opposes an
 E Alaskan Commission

Judging from the tone of that portion of the Southeastern Alaska press, who oppose territorial government, there seems to be a disposition to favor the appointment of a commission, somewhat similar to the Philippine commission, to legislate for and manage Alaska ai- fairs. Tho proposition is denounced by the pro-territorial press as the rankest kind of toryism. and we incline to that belief. To appoint such a commission for Alaska would simply be a dishonest makeshift, and would result in little good to the people or ameliorate pres ent burdensome conditions. If Alaska cannot haze free government she does not want a little oligarchy, composed probably of three politician, whose first thought would, no doubt, be in the di- rection of the spoliation of the country for the profit of themselves and a few friends.
 The Republican party of Alaska is committed to territorial government; so is the Democratic, and if they are hone. in their statements and declar- ations the work of securing it will be greatly facilitated Nome Nugget
