AN ENGLISH HERO
Remarkable British Tribute to the
Ability Of Nelson.

Remarkable British Tribute to the
Ability Of Nelson.
The time has come when we can sre-
cially do honor to Nelson's memory,
without wounding the feelings OF otlier4
nations. The first thing to be notetll
concerning him Is that he is the cniy
man who has ever lived who by uni
versal consent is without peer. In
every walk of life except that which
Nelson chose as his own you will find
several competitors for the first place,
each one of whom will have many SUP
porters. Alexander of Macedon, Han
nibal, Caesar, Marlborough. Fre..eriex
the Great and Napoleon have been se.--
orally put forward for the palm Of ger
eralship. To those who would acclaim
Richelieu as the first of statesmen ot.i-
ers would oppose Chatham or William
Pitt or Cavour or Bismarck or Marquis
Ito. Who was the first of sculptors?
Who the first of painters? Who the
first of poets? In every case there is q
great difference of opinion. Ask, how
ever, who was the first OF atilnirals,
and the unanimous reply will still be,
"Nelson," tried us he was by many
years Of high command In war. 1t Is
not only among his fellow countrymen
that his pre-eminence is acknowledged.
Foreigners admit 1t as readily as we
proclaim 1t ourselves.-Adniral Sir Cy-
prian Bridge in Cornhill Magazine.

CHINESE SERVANTS.
How They Pass Along Information
About Their Employers.

How They Pass Along Information
About Their Employers.
In China it is common thing for
some people to bewail the lack Of
cook, while their neighbors have num-
bers Offering themselves directly the
vacancy occurs: The reason of this Is
that each cook hands on to his success
or his employers character" This he
does by means Of saucepan left
standing in the kitchen.
If the place be considered good one
a saucepan will be left on the ground
with the lid put on properly. If the lid
be put on wrong way uppermost 1t
means that the place is good one and
that the cook has only left for time
and means to return as soon as lie can.
If the lid be put half in and half ont of
the saucepan it indicates that the place
is good one, but the master Is stingy.
If the lid be on properly and some rice
be left In it it shows that the servant Is
quite satisfied with everything concern
ing the owners of the house, but that
he is obliged to leave owing to debts OF
other causes which inconvenience him.
If the employer be in the habit of max
ing his servants pay for lost or broken
articles chalk mark will be found on
the bottom of the saucepan. which will
not easily be rubbed off.
The Chinese 'boy" makes his mark
behind the bedroom or pantry door and
the waterman his on the bottom OF
tubs. These signs are said to have
been originally adopted by the Chinese
from the Tamils.

COSTLY COAL.


Some For Which the United States
Paid $50 a Ton.
'Thc civil war led to the establish
ment Of lot Of little private coaling
stations oil over the world by thrifty
persons who hoped that Uncle Sans
ships might come that way about the
time that they needed coal real bad"
said an old naval official. "The old

Of that sort She was looking for the
Alabama like a good many more Of q
Federal ships, and she came t.
Helena just about the time that she
was out of coal. The officers were de-
lighted to see red headed Scotcliman
sitting on a coal pile on the dock, and
they at once opened up negotiations
with him. He demanded $50 ton
gold, and as the rate Of exchange was
then $2.S5 this made the price $50 a
ton of Uncle Sans money.
"The officers protested and refused
to take the c0nl. They put to sea, hop
Ing to reach another port before their
stock gave out, but after a run Of a
few hours the weather began to get
nasty, and there was nothing for it but
to put back and buy 1000 tons Of the
Scotchman's coal.
"He said that he liked the United
States and sympathized with the north
in the war, but he had been sitting on
that coal pile for long time waiting
for an American ship to come along,
and sympathy didn't buy things

A CHRISTMAS STORY
By HOWARD FIELDING

"~ ONT bother to light your

We'll get some moonlight If l leave
the curtain up," responded the drug
gist, though Pm on the shady side of
the street.
Il guess that's where you want to

the salesman. 1.-THE shadier you are
the more business you can do. Are

The druggist had put some glasses
and bottle upon a table and had
glanced toward the window to assure
himself that no one could see in from
the street. The other side of the way
was all in vivid moonlight; the snow
sparkled with myriad jewels, and the
white fronts of the quaint old stores
glared as IL the worn paint upon them
had been miraculously renewed. In
the midst of the brightness appeared
the tall figure Of man clothed all in
black. He walked briskly to one Of
the stores and halted, disappointed.
There's customer for you," said
the salesman. "Your venerable COM
petitor has shut up shop for the night"
THAT man will never come over

ANIMAL MUD GATHERS.
The Wild Boar, the Water Buffalo
and the Elephant.

The Wild Boar, the Water Buffalo
and the Elephant.
Animals when wild constantly die
lingering death from injury to the
skin, whether caused, as usually hap
pens in tropical countries, by wounds
aggravated by insects or by cutaneous
disease; hence the pains which they
take in making their toilet and in the
use and selection of cosmetics"
Among birds the salt water species
often seek fresh water to wash in, diff
ferent land birds choose different
earths in which to dust and also wash
in water, and nearly every tropical
animal, including the tiger, bathes ei-
ther in water or in mud. Perhaps the
best known mud bathers are the wild
boar, the water buffalo and the elc-
plant. The latter has an immense ad-
vantage over all other animals in the
use of its trunk for dressing wounds.
It Is at once syringe, a powderiny

Leveson-Gower in his memoirs tells
Of an occasion on which Ruskin was
snobbish. He says: "Ruskin OH one oc-
casion gave large supper, to which
he invited some Of the leading UNDER
graduates, whom lie did not know. His
speech on this occasion did not make
a favorable impression. He said he
could hardly express how much he
felt honored that so many young men
who were superior to him socially
should have condescended to accept his
invitation. This disinclined us to keep
up the acquaintance. although we were
the losers thereby"

why some Men Are superstitious.

Why Some Men Are SuDerst1tlOus.
There are men who have a cOngeni-
tai tendency to distrust fate. With the
better half of their minds they may be
optimists, but there is corner which
Is never free from the pain of fear, the
fear Of sort of transcendental spite.
Plutarch said of the superstitiOus that
they believed in the gods and believed
them to be unfriendly. Some survival
of this pagan notion remains to this
day even among those whose reasona-
bic conviction and reverent faith alike
lead them to totally opposite conclu-
sions. They do not believe they will
have more misfortunes IL they take q
house which is numbered Is than II
they took one numbered 81, but they
avoid the former in order to quiet their
own painful imaginations. = London
Spectator.

when he perceived that the driver of
