Navy Not a Reformatory.

Lieut.. Bierer, Jr, charge of naval
recruiting station in Kansas City, does
not countenance the idea that the navy
may be used as reformatory for bad
boys. A father brought his 1S-year-old
son to the station and showed unusual
anxiety that the lad might pass. The
lieutenant asked some questions and
learned that the boy had bad compan-
ions and was disobedient at home.
Therefore the father wanted him to
have the strict discipline of the navy.
at is not the purpose of the navy"
said Lieut.. Bierer "to enlist boys who
are incorrigible at home, for the pur-
pose of reforming them. l don't want
your boy or any other whose parents
are unable to manage them"

PINE MARTENS MADE MYSTERY.
Cause of CONSERVATION in English
Country Neqhborhood.

A series of grewsome incidents had
terrified an English neighborhood.
What made these incidents peculiarly
horrible was their tragic mystery. No
body could explain them. Sheep and
lambs, which were in full health over
night, were found dead in the morn
ing, their bodies uninjured, but
drained of every drop of blood.
Ghouls and vampires and all imagin-
able horrors were blamed, and the
whole countryside was up. The dam
age continued, and in a single night
farmer had fourteen out Of twenty
one lambs killed, and the same pen
was chosen the next night and the
remaining seven lambs were de-
stroyed. In the early peep of day
the slayers were discovered, all
hideous from their sanguinary work.
They were neither men nor mon
sters, but a couple of pine martens,
which, having routed a pair of mag
pies from their nest, had there made
their home, and thence nightly
secured the country round about.

EIIery Found the Hoe Handy.

On a small farm down in eastern
Maine lived old Mr.. N. and his son
Ellery. Like most country boys, FL
lery often found himself obliged to
work in the field at times when he
would have much preferred doing
something else.
One warm forenoon Mr.. N. and FL
lery were hoeing corn, and the father,
glancing around from time to time,
noticed that his son spent much of
the time leaning on the handle of his
hoe and gazing away across the fields
The old gentleman said nothing, but
during the noon hour he quietly sawed
off about half the handle, and, chuckl-
ing over his own shrewdness, returned
to work.
Much to his surprise, his son made
no comment on the change, but, on
looking around a little later in the
afternoon, he beheld the hoe sticking
upright in the ground with the invert-
ed end buried in the earth and Ellery
himself calmly seated on the blade.

GREAT WRITER LOVED PRAISE.
Modesty Not Distinguishing Char.
acteristic of Victor Huuo.

Victor Hugo liked to be praised.
Robert Marlborough Sherard, author
of Twenty Years in Paris" tells how
when young women from England or
America came to gaze upon the mas
ter, as occasionally it was permitted
them to do, the interpreter of their
simple praises did not boggle matters
in the least. The young ladies would
say, in English or American, some
thing like this: ooh, tell Mr.. Hugo
that we have read his works and
liked them so much that we are so
pleased to see him." These seemly
encomiums would be rendered thus:
Industrious master, these young
daughters of the young republic Cor
of an antique monarchy, as the case
might be- feel it impossible to leave
Paris without laying at the feet Of
that genius which is the imperish-
able glory of France and the wonder
and honor of the universe the laurel
wreath of their profoundest admira-
ton and homage"

LIBRARIES ON U. S. wARsHIPs.
Their Institution Has Been Elevating
to Officers and Men.

Without the impetus of private phil
anthropy the libraries of the ships in
the United States navy are steadily
increasing. The necessity of provid-
ing good reading for the public on
shore has long been recognized in CIV
ilized communities, but in no condi-
ton of life is its necessity so urgent
as aboard ship. This statement Is
peculiarly applicable to men-of-war,
where the monotony of three years
service is not relieved by the anus
ing antics and daily vivacity of pas
sengers and where cruises are much
longer than in the ordinary mercan-
tile service. It would be difficult to
exaggerate the value of the service
rendered by the libraries in warships.
There are many idle moments in man.
of-war life when officers and enlisted
men long for something with which
to absorb their surplus energies. In
the old days, when libarries were
not regularly supplied, the men, for
want. of something better to do, were
apt to drift gradually into less elevat-
ing and in too many instances demon
alizing pastimes.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Cutting Metals With Oxygen.

Diamond may cut diamond, but oxy-

rate of about six inches per minute"
One of the blowpipes delivers an
