Dencedly Awkward. You Know.

Mrs. Oliver Belmont gave picnic at
Newport the other day, at which mem
bers of the colony there disported
themselves with all the childish enthu-
siasm they could command. 1t was
an ultra informal affair, and during
the afternoon the good old game of
drop the handkerchief" was proposed
and Played. The turn to carry the
handkerchief fell to a bright miss,
who dropped it behind a member of
Britain's aristocracy. who was in the
game. When told he must run after
the girl, catch her, and claim a kiss
as a ransom. he looked extremely
bored, stroked his mustache and said:
''Ah! deucedly awkward, don't you
know. Really, 1 must be excused" he
begged, much to the chagrin of the
young miss.
She forgave him later, when it
leaked out that the dear old chap had
3 cork leg and couldn't rum. Y

The vital spot of Empire.

There can be no dispute for mo-
ment as to the immense gravity of the
issue raised by any question of the eff
fciency of the Mediterranean squad
ron. No matter where our chief fight
ing feet may ride, that point, and no
other. is the vital spot of empire. It is
the very center of our strategical sys-
tenn, and the backbone of our whole de-
fensive organism. If the Mediter-
ranean force were crushed in some
swift and stupendous disaster, follow
ing instantly upon any unexpected out
break of war, our entire. naval organi-
cation. for all ultimate purposes,
would be like a watch with broken
mainspring-Lo Telegraph.

TROUBLE ON THE BEACH.
Bathers ON the Atlantic Coast Have
Unpleasant Experiences with .
SCHOOL of JeIIyGHh.

The jellyfish has grown worse, writes
an Atlantic City spondent of the
Philadelphia Press.
Last Sunday when he and mis- clan
invaded the breakers he was treated
more as joke than anything else.
But he has evidently made up his
geIatinous mind to stay at Atlantic
City. and since last Sunday has float
ed around every day al bathing hour,
and brushed up against the multitude.
The other day, for some reason or
another, he developed a vicious tend
ency, did this jellied mass of float
ing inconsequence, and when he
brushed against one, like an illiterate
person might do, he left his mark
A collection of little red dots was
what this memento appeared at first,
and as on other days, it produced an
itching sensation. But the effect was
not transient a. it was on other days.
1t had further developments, as most
of the boardwalk druggists can tes-
tify.
Arm. leg, face. as the Use might be
(for your jellyfish is not particular,
as potently as well-rounded ARM
began to swell. Heretofore the jelly
fish had confined his attentions to pro-
ducing an itching sensation. Now he
began series of really swell expert
ments.
AT the least estimate no less than
100 persons sought relief in the board
walk drug stores for some allevia-
ton of the swelling produced by
the sting of the je,lyfish. One young
woman New Yorker, found that her
arm had swollen to such proportions
that it was impossible for her to put
on her shirtwaist that hung in the
bathhouse. Witch hazel was sent for,
and a half-hour's assiduous rubbing
with this remedy brought the swell
ing down to such proportions that the
young woman could dress and go t. her
hotel.
Nor was her case an isolated one.
Nearly every bather who came in con-
that swelling speedily followed in the
wake of the fish's visit.
The reason for this unusual perform
ance on the part of the fabby pro-
tozoan is not forthcoming. Why his
sting on Sunday, Monday, Tue sday md
Wednesday should produce itching. and
on Thursday should result in swell
ing is nut too hard for old sea salts
or medical men to satisfactorily crack.
Yer can't tell how them jeilyfish

said, while doctor took off his gla asses.
polished them, adjusted them, and
then said gravely: Its the fem
mime jellyfish that always makes the
trouble, and no one-not even doc
tor-can tell what a feminine will do,
or why she does it"
Which was only another way of say
ing what the fisherman said.
