BRITISH
SQUADRON
SAILS

New York, Nov. 1.-THE British
cruiser squadron under tho command
Of Prince Louis OF Battenberg, which
had been the guest Of this city since
tho morning OF NovembeF 9th, sailed
today for GibTalteF, the next station
on its long cruise The week which the
1quadron spent in this city was full
OF excitement and social events OF
more or less fomality succeeded each
other In rapid succession. Prince Louis,
who is certainly accustomed 20 the
hardships Of sea faring life was al
most oyereome by the demands which
this short season OF social functions
made upon him. Banquets receptions.
ofici"l and unofficial calls, balls aud
other affairs Of a similar nature every
day for a whole week Is more than
even well seasoned seaman aud
eourtier can endure without serious
discomfort. The members Of his stan
and other officers Of the British squad
ron were equally overwhelmed by the
hospitality Of the Americans, but bore
up well under the severe test. The
men also had their share Of entertain
ment, but their share was not quite
so exaeting,
Everything passed on in the most
satisfactory manner, and il TO be hoped
that the British visitors viii take the
most pleasant impressions Of the com
radeship Of officers and men Of the
United States navy and Of the hOspi-
tality Of the citizens Of New York
with them on their long cruise. The
most cordial entente between the
officers and men of the awo fleets ex-
listed, and many lasting friendship
was formed during that short week
Of fraternizing.
The manner in which the officers
and men on the American warships
and the thousands Of people who Oe-
eupied every available foot Of space
along the river fr0ht, eheered the Brit
ish ships, as they slowly steamed
down North river, amid the booming
of the cannon firing the salutes, left

IMPORTANT TO KNOW ONESELF
Only by That Means Can the World
Be Understood.

Who have lived the most common
sense lives? Well, one such was the
Emperor Aurelius. A soldier, states
man, an administrator of the highest
ability! And yet a man to whom the
highest worth was the capacity so
to see the complicated facts OF life
in their true relation as to be able to
live tranquil in any circumstances. An
other person with grand simplicity
was the slave Epictetus. The one
teaches us that man can live as he
roically in a palace as in a church,
market place or camp; the other that
a lowly estate is no bar to the pro-
foundest knowledge of human nature
and the most illustrious manhood. A
wiser word was never written than
that inscribed over the portal of the
Delphic oracle: Know thyself!
For it is only by self knowledge that
one can know the world and under
stand the lesson it would teach man
kind-Boston Post

WANTED THE CAT WATCHED.
SoIicitude Under the Circumstances
Not Unreasonable.

The late Father Scully, of Cam
bridge, Mass, told the following story
at temperance lecture in Medford:
There was man in Cambridge who
was confirmed drunkard and whose
friends had tried hard to reform him.
Father Scully met him one day, and
thought he would try a new way OF
reform. He told the man if he did not
stop drinking he would turn into rat.
This had great effect. The unfor-
tunate commenced to brood over it.
He started for home, and sat for hours
thinking he was going to turn into a
rat. Finally he called his wife and
said: Mary, if you see me turning
into rat, for Gods sake keep your
eye on the cat.''

GRIP OF THE SNAKE KING.
An Illustration of the Strength That
Wins in Battles With Rattlers.

e. R. Sanborn, the photographer OF
the Geological society, is well &C.
quainted with all snakes in the rep
tile house. He occasionally plays with
the harmless species.
The other day he took the biggest
of the king snakes out of the snarl
in it's cage and let it Irvine around
his arms.
Hes got an awful grip said Mr..
Sanborn. ''See he's got me hand
cuffed now, with a turn around each
of my arms
"a king snake can coil so tightly
around your coat sleeve as to leave
welt on your arm. That's the reason
king snake can kill RATHER.
Hes as quick as light, and ne
winds himself around the rattlesnake
and breaks it's back. But he hasn't a
bit of poison
Mr.. Sanborn declined suggestion
that he put the king snake in a cage
of diamond backs, just to see what
would happen.-New York Sun.

BEAGLE HAD HoMING INSTINCT.
Travelled Long Distance to Reach His
Former Master.

County Commissioner Henry P.
Mann, of Baltimore county who lives
at Orangeville, near Baltimore, is
credited with telling the following
story of the return Of beagle hound
to Orangeville, from Kent county:
About three years ago gave away
beagle hound which was taken to
Kent county. One night recently |
and my family were amazed to see
the dog walk into our home and take
position near the stove. 1t was very
cold and hungry.
I cannot account for how the dog
got here unless it crossed the bay
from Rock Hall to Baltimore county
and walked thence to my home. The
dog had frequently hunted in the por-
ton Of the county through which 1t
had to pass, if it came all the way
from the bay shore.
This is no more remarkable than
a homing pigeon flying 500 miles back
to his home. Baltimore Sun.
