WHEN TOGO WAS YOUNG.
Example Of the japanese Admiral's
A~lertness of Mind Given in
Boyhood Days.

A retired English naval officer, who,
when a lad, was on board the training
ship Worcester, at the same time as the
future Japanese Admiral Togo, accord
ing to the Rochester Herald, tells the
following "reminiscences:
Togo was constantly the victim of all
ann of chaff from the young British
ers on board, who called him 'One-go-
two-go-three-go.' Disliked at first,
perhaps because he was unlike his
mates, he grew in popularity on account
of his remarkably alert mind and agile
body, until at length he became a gen.
eral favorite with officers and boys.
He stood all chaff with a certain
amount of bravado. unless 1t touched
on his resemblance to the Chinese. To
one fellow sailor who dubbed him a
Chinaman, he said, with emphasis:
When | am the" admiral, | hang you
to the yardarm,'
One day Togo had his leave stopped
for some small offense. Liberty boys
to go ashore was piped, and the boys
went up to him and said: Arc you to go?'
No he replied. Immediately the young
sters got around him and pinched him,
for telling lies, shouting at the same
time: You are Togo
His praenomen being rather difficult
to pronounce, Togo was told by n OF
the boys to shoot his godfather and god
mother on his return home. We do not
shoot gods in Japan. was his reply"

TURN OVER TIME

these together with the ~sedentary habits
were not long in giving me dyspepsia
and stomach trouble which reduced my

There was little relish in any food and
none of it seemed to do me any good. 1t

RAISING SEEDLESS FRUITS.
Some Success Achieved with Apples,
Plums and Cherries in the
Last Few Years.

A veteran nurseryman of Colorado
heralds the fact that after years of pa"
tient experiment in grating ana budding
he has secured a seedless apple. Modest
ly the creator has withheld information
of his success until he has secured 40
trees OF his new variety, says a local in
formant. Expert pomologists have ex.
amined the new apple, and declare 1t to
be very handsome in appearance. De.
tails of the methods by which this
achievement was attained have not been
divulged, but when ii is remembered
that the m~illion-box crop of navel
oranges came from a single shipment Of
six slips the start that has already been
attained with 40 productive trees
presages an early appearance of the
seedles apple in commerce.
The department of agriculture, as well
as many grape growers, have been work.
ing for years on the problem of a seed
less grape, and, while rumors of success
have appeared from time to time during
the past decade, the Sultana and Thomp-
son seedless varieties have during the
past year established their reputation
among the viticulturists. The japanese
plum, without a stone, is also reported a
reality, although the seeds have not
been obviated. Cherries without stones
are promised in the immediate future.
Seedless tomatoes are alleged to have
been perfected by an Indiana woman, be-
ing grown from the stock of the tomato,
which is replanted when it is at its full
height, Watermelons of the same freak
nature are also rumored from Georgia,
but not much credence is placed in this
report, though If tomatoes have been
perfected there is no essential reason
why similar success should not be at
tanned with the watermelon.

THAT TIRED SPRING FEELING
Which Comes to Many with the Sea-
son That Should Renew
Life and Energy.

There are certain persons to whom the
advent OF spring, instead Of bringing a
sense Of rejuvenescence, provides a very
different sensation, says the London
Lancet. The youth Of the year, when
nature seems to revel in growth and de-
velopment, ought to give, it might be
thought, to the human species, too, a
sense of vigor and of the natural joyful
ness of fecundity. When the birds are
breaking into song and the plants into
flower, poor man might also exult in life
and its annual time of awakening
growth. Yet to many the return OF
spring Is only the return Of a vague
feeling of l~istless languor, a slack sense
Ct fatigue that comes without labor
and Of WEAKNESS that is uncalled for by
any unusual effort.
To those who dwell in cities, at any
rate, spring has trials that are peculiar
to itself. To some extent these arise
from the knowledge that abroad in the
country all is new life, refreshened
'lSpi, III liIGIil lhb hNhl''lH'lNt WING

HANGED by the suspicion of these things
that is gained from the trees and the
plants of public parks and open spaces,
where poor little bits of nature bloom
only to suggest In vain all that awaits
the town dweller If he could escape, 1t
is not only dissatisfaction, though, at
being unable to partake In natures
gaiety that produces the feeling of which
we speak; something is due to climatic
conditions.
Who does not know the eneryating
sense that accompanies the first warm
day of the year? We may agree with
johnson that he is a weak creature who
Is influenced by the weather, but If we
do w must confess with the same breath
that to-day most of us are weak crea-
lures, If, like Johnson, we lived in more
leisurely times and RECALLED ourselves
heartily in Fleet street about the middle
of the day, following the veal with a
comfortable discussion, maybe we, too,
should be Indifferent whether the sun
shone or the rain fell. Unfortunately,
we work our nervous systems more and
our alimentary organs less than did our
grandparents. Inevitably We have a
sensitiveness that was unknown to most
of them. Their fits of the spleen were
well earned, probably, by loads within
the stomach. We acknowledge no such
consoling cause for the ennui that often
in the spring assaiIs the town dweller.
Happy he who can dispel it by a week
end in the country or at the sea before
his regulation summer holiday arrives.

MARKS LEFT BY CIVIL WAR.
Trip Through Country Affected by Re-
bellion Recalls Many Excit-
ing Incidents.

The great battle felds of the South do
not, as a rule, lie along the railways.
This is especially true of the Wilderness,
that bloody scope of country where
Grant and Lee contended for the mastery
in the eventful spring Of 1864, writes
Thomas G. Harbaugh. in Four-Track
News. A jaunt through this region to-
day is both pleasant and exciting, for
the battle fields there remain just as the
armies left them, torn by shot and shell,
and, here and there, marked by tablets
and monuments appropriately inscribed.
1t is a pleasant ride by rail from Wash
ington to quaint old Fredericksburg on
the Rappahannock, where Burnside, one
December day, left 1000 Of his men be-

Thefts from Hotels

A certain. hotelkeeper in Washington
says that the people have no idea of the
small depredations that are committed
by guests, most of who are people of
money enough of their own to refrain.
He declares that not long ago he bought
700 yards of toweling for his rooms, and
before he had time TO learn whether or
not the Dor had been supplied, the
whole outfit was gone, says the Washing
ton Post. They are drummers, and
women and all kinds of people who took
them said he, land probably they did
not think it was stealing to take things
away from the hotel. AS to downright
theft from rooms, OF bilking in the mat
ter of meals, there Is much less of it in
hotels than you would suppose; but
Lord! how they will crib the soap and
linen and spoons!"

coPPERs BECOME A PLAGUE
Nearly 100000 Worth of the
Coins Are in Circulation
in England.

Many large towns in England are, like
Leeds, suffering from a plague of cop
pers. The extension of tramways with
half-penny fares, the use of penny-in-
the-slot gas meters and automatic ma
chimes. and in London the Tube railway,
with its two-penny fares, have produced
an enormous change Of small silver
coins into pennies and halfpennies,
states the London Chronicle.
Tradesmen consequently are finding
themselves burdened with huge guam
titles of coppers, and they complain that
they cannot get rid of them by an ex-
change for small silver. 1t might be
thought that the royal mint had some
thing to do with this excess of coppers,
but on that point the master of the mint,
Mr.. w. G. e. Mccartney, NJ. p, is tn
phatic.
at is not a question Of minting at all"
he said, sit is merely a question Of bank
ing. If the tradesmen of Leeds, or any
other town, find they have a superfiuity
of coppers, they have only to tell their
banker that if he cannot give them sill
yer in exchange they will transfer their
accounts. Take the case of Leeds. OBJ
viously the money has not left the town,
and it is the tradesmen's fault if they
cannot get silver for copper"
The mint, it may be added, always
strikes more than the ordinary quanti-
ties of any particular coin for which
there is an abnormal request. But there
has been no excessive demand recently
for coppers. The value of the bronze is
sues in 1902-the latest year for which
the statistics are available-was some
what larger than in 1901, but there was
also a considerable increase in the value
of the silver issues. In 1901 the number
of bronze pieces struck at the royal mint
In London was Al ,349,3S7, valued at
G12O, $50, while in 1902 the number had
risen to 45.774,S4S pieces of the value of
G14S, 400. The silver coins struck in
1901 totaled 1S,S 43,4 25, valued at G914,-
POI, while in 1902 the figures we're 49,
270, 1896, amounting in value to G937, 202.
In his report for 1902 Mr.. Mccartney
gives the following estimate of the prob
able value of the bronze coin now cir
culating in the United Kingdom: Pence,
Ct, 1868, 04S; ~halfpence, G713,450; farth-
ings, ESQ 100, This estimate is based
on the total issue from 1860 to 1902 in
elusive, allowing 10 per cent, as the esti-
mated issued to the colonies and for
coins lost or destroyed.
