HE DIDN'T REPORT.

=
I Colonel Mills, superintendent Of
the West Point academy, has a repu-
tation for sternness even among ar
my men. Years ago, when he first
took command of the post at Buff
falo, he found that station extreme
III lax in discipline, and it was no
secret among his friends that he
proposed to work some reforms.
Shortly after his installation he was
one day annoyed by the receipt OF .
Telegram from subordinate of on q
furlough which read, "Will not re-
port today, as expected, account I'M
avpidable circumstances
The tone Of the message was not
at all to Colonel Mills mind, and he
wired at once In reply "Report as
expected or give reasons"
Within an hour the following
message came over the wires, dated
from hospital in New York:
'8Train of; can't ride. Legs of;
can't walk Will not report unless
you insist"
The colonel did not insist.

FISHING FOR OLD CORK.

Cork is never useless until it ~
absolutely decayed. Children who
fish for cork all day between the
piers on the New York river fronts
DO not have to go above Fulton
street to sell it. Some boys and
girls find cork fishing more profit
able than selling newspapers. Cork
can be made over about as many
times as rags and waste paper. Be-
fore the children who take cork
from the rivers can sell it they must
carry it home and dry it. Wet cork
Is not negotiable. There is no fixed
price for waste cork. The foreman
of shop looks over basketful and
says what he will give for it. The
children invariably take what is Of
fered them. As manufactured cork
is dutiable, while cork wood is on
the free list, most of the corks used
In New York are manufactured
hare. The cork tree will not grow
in North America. The wood must
be imported from Mediterranean
countries. Portugal is the principal
source of supply. Large quantities
come from Italy and Sardinia

An Ocean Graveyard.

The most important headland In
the world is Cape Race, the south
eastern extremity of Newfoundland.
1t has also q most unenviable no.
toriety.
Some Of the most terrible trage-
dies in marine annals have occurred
on this rugged, dangerous fore shore.
An official chart shows the disasters
there during the past forty years.
Together with some not inscribed
thereon they represent a total OF
ninety-four complete wrecks OF
ocean going vessels-steamers and
sailers--involving a loss of about
1000 lives and $4,000, 900 in hulls
and cargoes. Ships which stranded
and afterward escaped are not in
cluded. Last year alone eight steam
and two sailing vessels came to grief
there, thirty-fve persons persisted
and a property loss Of $2,ooo,0o0
was involyed.-McClure's Magazine.

Mr., Ejsh's Thrust.

Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish has such an
assured place in society that she
does not hesitate to tell Of her hus-
bands early struggles with the
world. In fact, she is rather fond
of doing 30. While in Nice last
spring she related at dinner party
how Mr.. Fish worked his way up
10 tho presidency of the Illinois
Central railroad. A German prince
ling, who was among the guests, re-
marked, with just the trace of a
snecr, IT had always heard that
rour husband came from a fine fam
H." Mrs. Fish met this thrust
with perfect good nature. ooh, yes,
he does. But, you see, in America
It is not disgrace to work. How
much better it would be if those
conditions prevailed in Europe? We
in America would be spared so many
titled nonentities."

h Was a Beautiful Day Anyway.

"A Scotch surgeon during the Boer
war was celebrated for the stories
he told. One of them was related
to the men lying near him in hot
corner on the veldt during battle.
AS the bullets were whisthng among
them the surgeon observed in an
easy way, swell, it's been a beauti-
full day anyway" The men next
him laughed and asked why he made
that remark. "Did you ever hear
the story of the two Scotchmen ?"
the surgeon answered. "They were
going home very drunk together,
and the one said to the other, 'Weel,
Donald, we've had a beautiful day,
but what bothers me is that / Gamma
remember what like the bride was.'

tuesdays and Thursdays Ball Nights
are still Popular.
Since the opening of the Tybee sea-
son, there has hardly been a pleasanter
evening than last at the island, the
slight rise in temperature in the city
making the cool of the seashore more
desirable in anticipation than has been
the case of late. number of young
people went down for the dance, and
there were bathing parties in the after
noon.
The unusually cool weather has some
what retarded the progress of gayety
at the island and has even delayed the
movements of town folks seaward,
many of those who had made their Ty-
bee plans for the fifteenth having de-
cided to remain in town a few DAYS
longer until the weather becomes more
uncompromising. and the prospect of
Tybee. breezes more inviting.
The hotel is. however, now nearly
full, and its connecting cottages m
large. part occupied. The private cot
tagers, who own their own pretty
homes at the Inlet, the South End, and
along the island to Fort Screven, have
almost all been installed since the first
of June, and are enjoying at once the
comforts and the cares of suburban
housekeeping.
To visitors from the city hospitality
is extended in a delightfully."- informal
way, and while the real joys of Tybee
living are known in their fulness only
to those who are summering on the is
land or spending three or four idle
weeks at the hotel, such pleasures as
an afternoon swim in the surf. a de-
licious fish supper, dancing on the no.
tel pavilion, with the stars in sight, a
quiet stroll on the beach at night with
congenial company. are not denied even
to those who must live in town out OF
hearing of the roar of the sea. A
smooth floor. good music. the late
train at night for the special conven-
fence of the dancers, all are sufficient
indueement to gayety-loving young
people, and Tuesday and Thursday
nights at Tybee bids fair to be popular
as ever.
