NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Unsparing in
his criticism Of the faults OF our navy
as he was generous in praise of its
merits, Rear Admiral Joseph B., Cogh-
Ian last night sifted down all facts and
theories into this striking statement:
There is only one kind OF d lighting

are no earthly good.
He made that statement in an ad

for an hour, yet his hearers were i'm
pressed so strongly by his utterances
that they did not want to have him

Protection is the theme of the navy.

Might Have chanoed History

Napoleon Ill of France, when
prisoner in the fortress at Ham,
wrote and published a paper on the
possibility of linking the Pacific and
Atlantic oceans by means of canal.
This created so profound an i'm
preston that the minister plenipo-
tentiary of Guatemala offered him
the presidency Of the construction
of the Nicaragua canal. The pro-
posal was followed by the offer of
the presidency of the Ecuador re-
public. The latter offer was condi-
tional upon King Louis Philippe's
releasing the captive and upon the
latter's giving his parole never to
return to Europe. Louis Napoleon
was prepared to give his parole, and
Sir Robert Peel, then prime minis
ter of Great Britain, was willing to
back up his application for release
upon these terms. Lord Aberdeen,
however, would not hear Of it, so the
prisoner remained to be president
and emperor of his native land.

StOmaCh's Importance.
How to Strengthen 1t so That 1t Will
Act as 1t Should.

To enjoy both health and happiness,
it is absolutely necessary that the
stomach and digestive organs should
be strong .enough to properly digest
the food. If they are weak and inact-
i've, the body will soon be in state of
semi-starvation.
Nothing equals Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets in giving strength and tone to the
whole digestive system. Use this rem
edy for few days, and you will find
the appetite keen, the digestion good
no nausea or distress after eating, no
sleeplessness, no nervousness and the
bsckaches and head daches that are the
direct results of weakened stomach,
will soon be- overcoma.
Ask G. NJ Crosby q Co. to show you

The most wonderful of all the re-
markable things which nightly
come within the range of the pow
erful modern telescopes is the dou-
BILE moon which continually circles
around and around Jupiter, the
giant of the skies" This astro-
nomical oddity was not known un-
til after the great Lick telescope
was put in position on Mount Ham
llton, the discovery of the tiny satel-
lite only dating back to 1891. The
first hint of the presence of this
moon of moon" was given when
one of the Lick observatory men re-
ported that one of Jupiter's satel-
lltes appeared to be casting a double
shadow on the giant planets sur
face. From that time forward for
some weeks "a sharp lookout was
kept, and at last the observers we're
rewarded in getting a glimpse of
the curiosity-a tiny dot of moon
revolving around another moon,
both held in position by the great
Jupiter.

RACE TROUBLE.

Senator Carmack has the cor
rect view of the race trouble in
San Francisco, which involves the
right of the State of California to
govern public education within It's
borders. He holds that it is un-
fortunate that President Roosevelt
undertook to meddle in the affairs
of that State in behalf of the Jap
anese, ''He ought" said Senator
Carmack, "to have told the JAP
,anese government kindly, but
firmly, that the matter of public
education in the State of Califor-
MIA was matter that belonged
exclusively to that State, and one
with which the government of the
United States had no right to in
terfere. Every government enter
ing into treaty relations with this
government is presumed to have
at least child's knowledge of our
constitution, and that no provis-
ion in this constitution can be re-
pealed or modified by treaty. I
think that the Japanese govern
ment understands this very we'll,
and that the whole trouble grows
out of its disposition to be bump
tious and fussy. l do not know of
anything more shocking to all
just conception of the nature and
character of the treaty-making
power than the apparent disposi-
tion of the administration to re-
gard the treaty-making clause as a
distinct grant of power to abrogate
the rights of the States by bar
gain made by the President and a
foreign government by and with
the advice and consent of the sem
ate."

Two Girls.

Does it pay to have good sense?
In an Atchison family there are two
girls. One of the girls insists Upon
taking music lessons, which the fam
lily finds very hard to pay for. She
devotes her entire time to her mu-
sic and never lifts her hand to do
a stitch of sewing. The family says,
"Jennie is 50 ambitious" The other
daughter will not take music lessons
or study art. She puts up preserves,
does the housework and all her own
sewing and is fine cook. The fam
lily says: "Poor Lizzie. It is too bad
she has not Jennie's ambition

BACKWARD BOYS.
Brilliant Men Who Did Not Shine -
Their Younger Days.

l think most men who have been
educated at any large public school
will readily call to mind numerous
instances of boys who were always
winning prizes, yet have not done
anything worth mentioning in after
life. And / am confident that upon
investigating the early years of
those who have led a strenuous and
remarkably successful career it will
be found that the majority were
rather lazy than not before they en-
tered upon the actual battle of life.
Oliver Goldsmith was looked
upon by his schoolmaster as a Ounce.
That may possibly have been the
fault of the latter. 1 fancy there is
something specially narrowing to
the mind in a scholastic career, Just
as there is in a doctors. That at
least is my individual experience.
Gladstone never took a prize at
school, if remember Alright; though
he subsequently gained a double
first at Oxford. Those high priests
OF science and philosophy, Darwin,
Huxley, Tyndall and Herbert Spen-
Ger, did not particularly shine in
their younger days.
We find plenty of evidence that
people who in the first stages of
their career make prolonged and ex-
haustive demands on their stores of
nerve force rarely attain length of
days. Whether those demands have
been made merely in the pursuit of
wealth or for some more noble OBJ
Ject does not matter. The result is
the same. Thus Napoleon consid-
cred about four hours in bed ga
good nights rest" He joined the
majority at fifty-one. Dickens pass
ed ed over at ffty-eight, his great rival,
Thackeray, at fifty-two. Byron
achieved his unique reputation in
the short compass of thirty-six
years, Mozart in thirty-fve and
Schiller in forty-fve. Alfred Belt
died at fifty-three and Cecil Rhodes
at forty ty-eight.-London Chronicle.
