Telling the Time.

One of the accurate ways of telling
the time is to use your hand as an
hour mark Nothing simpler. All
farmers not possessed Of watches or
clocks and who have some practical
notions Of common utilities not invent
ed by man, but given to us by the
Creator, know the rule. 1t Is necessary
to keep in mind the hour Of sunrise
and sunset and to hold the arm
straight out from the shoulder with
the hand at right angles, bending from
the wrist forward. If the sun sets at
o'clock and is still high in the heav-
ems close one eye and make three meas
ures Of the width of the palm near the
thumb. Each measure means one
hour Three measures mean three
hours, so that the time thus obtained
is Z less 3, or O'Clock. With practice
you can beat the average watch.-New
York Press.

THE FACE ON THE CENT.
IL Is Not That of an Indian, but of q
Pretty Little Girl.

Mrs. Sarah Longacre Keen, who liv-
ed and died in Philadelphia, came
nearer being the queen of the Ameri-
can mint than any woman who ever
lived. With the exception of Queen
Victoria, whose image was engraved
on every coin Of the British and In
dian empires, Mrs. Keen was first in
the number of her metal photographs.
Her face as girl of twelve summers
is to be seen on every American cent
issued since 1886 from Uncle Sans
coin factory.
1t is usually assumed that the face
on the head side of the copper Is that
Of an Indian, but close look will re-
veal a Saxon profile. Just borrow a
cent and look at it. The setting is that
of an Indian.
Between 1923 and 1910 James Bar
ton Longacre was chief engraver in
the United States mint in Philadelphia
In 1885 competition was opened for
sketches and engravings for the new
copper cent that was to be issued and
which has since been in service. There
were over a thousand designs offered.
The prize was good one. Longacre
racked his brain for some original and
singular design that would strike the
judges, but for months he failed to
satisfy himself.
One morning q number Of Indians,
with their chief, who had been to pay
their respects to the great white chief
In Washington, came to the city and
were shown through the mint. They
were introduced to the white chiefs
picture maker who was just then
showing his young daughter Sarah the
great concern. The old chief was at
tracted by the sweet faced maiden and
her interest in his feathers and paint.
She childishly wondered how she
would li'- In the feathered headgear.
This was to-. e chief, who solemnly
Invested himself of his feathers and
had them placed on the girls head.
The effect was so striking that the
father took time to make a sketch of
the picture, finishing it afterward for
his own amusement.
At the last moment Of the period
given for sending In engravings he be-
thought himself of the possibility of
the combination Of Indian feathers
and Saxon sweetness. He got 1t In.
and much sport was made Of the child
at the time in the city because Of the
incident. The sketch passed through
the seventh sitting and finally reached
the last round. BY one vote it won,
and ever since Sarah Longacre's young
face has served for the humblest of
coins, than which no single coin in the
world has such tremendous circula-
tion.-Detroit News-Tribune.

The Ideal Family Laxative

Is one that can be usedsby the en-
tire family, young and old. weak
and strong, without any danger of
harmful effects. 1t should have prop
critics which insure the same dose,
always having the same effect. other
wise the quantity will have TO be
increased and finally lose its effect
altogether. These properties can be
found in that old family remedy.
Brandreth's Pills, because It's ingre-
dients are of the purest herbal ex-
tracts, and every pill is kept for
three years before being sold, which
allows them to mellow. We do not
believe there is laxative on the mar
ket that is so carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
"a century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain OF
sugar coated.

decs. But, on the other hand, he had
some dUeies not connected with food.
among them The preparation when the
ship was In port of hot poker for
firing salutes.
And 1t was an established custom Of
the navy that the ship was not properly
paid off until the pennant was struck
by the cook. This operation he was ex-
pected to perform as the last officer Of
the ship, and until he had done it no
officer could consider himself discharg-
ed or at liberty to leave the port. This
rule held good though every seaman
had left the ship, and sometimes the
cook himself, in a fit of absentminded-
ness, went off without carrying out the
task, and had to be routed out again
before the incensed officers could leave
for their homes. There will be seamen
alive today who have heard the phrase,
every man to his station, and the
cook to the foresheet," and the lands
man who has read Marryat will al
ways connect the man of the galley
with the famous phrase, "Son Of a sea
cook"
In addition to the ships cook, Of
course, there were, as now, the mess
cooks, men who were appointed by the
seamen themselves to be presidents Of
the messes for the week, and who had
to receive the provisions for the mess
from the purser at the daily issuing Of
victuals and who had to hand these on
to the ships cook in good time. As
compensation for his trouble the mess
cook drew a cooks, or double, portion
of grog, and he deserved it, for his du-
ties were arduous and his critics Sc
we're.
If he spoiled the duff he was tried by
q jury of the mess, and this jury was
gathered by hosting a mess swab or
beating a tin dish between decks for
ward. He was condemned to most
painful punishments II found guilty.
He was also the carver for the mess,
and In order to prevent favoritism a
blindfolded member Of the mess was
required to call out the name Of the
person who was to receive the portion
as 1t was placed on the plate. Small or
large, that portion was given to the
man named, and probably no more sat
isfactory method Of dealing with the
question could have been found.

OLD TIME SEA COOKS
THEIR DUTIES AND PERQUlSlTES IN
THE BRITISH NAVY.

Many Sources of Revenue For the
Bosses of the GaIleys-There Were
Other Things They Had to Do Be-
sides Preparing the Meals.
Sea cooks were and are very neces
Sary persons in the internal economy OF
the ship Of war, but there were rogues
among them as among all classes OF
men, says the London Globe. There
were sea cooks who rose by the aid
of influence and knavery to very lucra
tive positions. Lord Nottingham, when
lord high admiral, gave patent to his
own cook to appoint all the cooks In
the navy.
Stewards, purveyors, cooks and bak'
ers are classed together by one writer
as the chief beneficiaries under the sys'
tenn of peculation and perquisites
(which at one time made the navy SO
happy hunting ground for the rascals
Of the country. But they were not al
permitted to ply their trade with i'm
punity, and one sea cook got seven
years hard labor from Sir John Field
ing for long series of frauds. And In
sentencing the man the judge expressed
his regret that he could not order him
to be hanged at the hospital gates.
Pea soup was generally the best ra'
ton the men had and was certainly
the most liked. Potatoes were always
served In the skins, sometimes two to
each man, and good natured cook
was frequently prevailed upon to cook
cakes and duffs that the men had made
themselves, demanding for his services
either pot Of grog or portion of the
dish he cooked.
Sometimes, however, he could only be
bribed by money, and in that way In
creased his pay Of 80 shillings a month
in addition to which he was nearly al.
ways in receipt of pension OF lis. 3d.
per month. Besides these sources OF
revenue he also made a good deal OF
money from the sale Of "slush," the
fat scraped from the ships coppers
latter each meal had been served, and
ihaH Of which was his perquisite. The
tother half belonged to the ship for
lgreasing the bottom and running tackle.
! The ships cook was, moreover, hon.
ored with guard Of two marines, who
stood sentry over the door of the gal
ley during the preparation Of meals to
prevent unwarranted raids upon the
provisions by ships thieves; he did not
wear uniform nor was he expected
to keep watch, being allowed to sleep
In comfort and comparative privacy
throughout the night on the lower gun

SPORTS At COLUMBIA.
Cross Country Running May Take
the Place of Football.

With the opening Of the cross-country season
at Columbia University comes an effort to mako
cross-country running replace football the
leading fall sport. Nearly forty men reported to
Captain Brodix yesterday afternoon and were
sent away for light work in the grove. In order
to encourage the men TO come out. several med
ais will be offered for individual work. James
D. Sullivan. president of the Metropolitan Asso-
citation Of the Amateur Athletic Union, and sew
eral OF the alumni have promised to contribute
medals.
Fall rowing began at Columbia yesterday with
big squad of men. Because the necessary oars
and rigging had not arrived. the freshmen were
idle, but the members OF last years squad were
put to work in a four-oared centipede. Much
interest is felt over an attempt to bring about a
race between Columbia and Harvard this fall
Columbia men have heard unoficialIy that Har-
ward would be glad to take part in such a con-
test.

may not hold the championships this fall at

pressed with the course last year. Several other
places have been suggested for the race among
them the MeadowbroOk Hunt Club course, the
