QUICK WIT OF YANKEE GUNNER.
An Incident of Dewey's Fight in
Manila Bay.

A group of army officers were dis
cusslng the difference in naval smart
ness between the British and the
American bluejackets as shown dur
ing the recent visit of Prince Louis
of Battenberg. A lieutenant who
saw service In the Spanish part of
the war in the Philippines told this
to point his moral:
you remember how Dewey filed
in squadron formation past the
Spanish ships, firing as he went. The
big guns were firing in order, each
one in its turn.
Nov, maybe, you know how they
load big gun-first, the projectile,
which is rammed in tight; then, two
bags of powder. The. projectile is

least obstruction puts it out Of fit.
"The crew of a forward 8-inch
gun had fired early in the action,
swabbed and loaded again. In clean
ing they missed burned bit of cam
vas sacking which holds the powder.
80 the projectlle didn't fit. but
they didn't find out until they'd
showed in the powder sacks behind
it. They stuck an inch beyond their
proper place, and it was impossible
to close the breech and, of course, to
fire that shot.
There was only one way OF get
ting the load out. This was to haul
the muzzle close inboard and send
a sailor with a twenty-four-foot
hammer to shove it out. 1t would
have taken a quarter of an hour.
The gun crew stood to undergo the
disgrace of losing their turn and
of going out of action at vital mo-
ment.
"The gunner in charge, without
the slightest hesitation, yelled:
Bill, give me a needle
"He whipped out his sailor knife,
ripped open the butt of the nearest
sack and took out double handful
of powder He sewed up the rip,
closed the breech, and said:
"'Allow 1900 yards on that shot
-letergo!'
"The shot struck the hull of the
target ship, and the gun was behind
its turn by only two or three Sec
| onds.
II believe this story is true.
heard it from the gun crew the week
after the fight. And the question
Isl Would any gunner except a
Yankee have had the savvy to solve
the problem In two seconds Of think

HnnnY Paraguay.

In Paraguay the women are in
the proportion of seven to one as
compared with the men. The con-
sequence is that the men are taken
the greatest care Of, and everything
which is unpleasant or might be
risky. to the life of man is done by
the women. Inc streets are cleaned
ships are loaded, oxen are driven by
them, and 1t is even said that they
have taken part in their country'S
wars, acting as substitutes for theil
men folk.-Argus.

The inhabitants of Aboullir, near
Alexandria, were recently treated to a
wonderful spectacle. 1t became neces-
sary to destroy some 16 tons of power
full dynamite, and the explosives-suf-
ficient to blow up town-were taken
to sea and placed beneath the water
Something like a submarine earth
quake followed the explosion, which
was heard for miles around. A water
spout shot into the air to height
of about 1000 feet, and fell back in
dazzling spray. simultaneously the sea
became a whirlpool of seething water
as If agitated by hurricane.

In the Wrong Church.

An absent-minded woman one Sun.
day morning walked into church, took
front seat and joined in the service
vigorously. Then the collection basket
was passed to her, and, putting a coin
into it, she looked about. She cast
glances in every direction, her mind
cleared, and an expression of amaze
ment overspread her face. She got
up. She hurried down the aisle. She

"My mother was badly afflicted by a
species of eczema or salt rheum in her
hands. They were very bad. She was
treated by her family physician for over
three months, and no benefit. Then she
thought she would try the Cuticura Rem
edies, and very soon found relief. Her
hands and fingers were all drawn up and
cracked and bleeding. They very soon
commenced to heal up and in less than
three months were about well. She used
the Cuticura Soap, 1 don't know how

was entirely free from the disease, when

And cap tied with bow.

And as the years were rolling on
For time will fly apace-
Behold Virginia, just turned six,

Beneath n jaunty gypsy hat,

And pantalets a half-yard wide
OF rich embroidery,
And oftentimes a pinafore
And slippers, too, she wore.

And is Virginia living now?
