 The result was as follows; The Hartford with the Albatross lashed to her passed The Richmond, Mononga- hela, and the one forgotten were all crippled, and dropped down the river. The Mississippi (and 1t is not out or place to state here that this vessel was Commander Perry's flagship on his expedition to Japan some years before the war) apparently following another current of the river, was grounded near the west bank almost opposite batteries and 5.
 She was an easy target, and after a few shots, was discovered to- be on fire All firing from the batteries then ceased It Is very evident that hef commander, Captain Melancthon Smith, seeing her hopeless condition ordered her burned. The hot-shot batteries were failures. It Is very certain they did not fire the vessel. There was some Confederate cavalry troops on the west side of the river About nifty or sixty of the crew of the vessel were captured and brought across the river next morning. The remainder escaped down the west bank and joined tho fleet below. It has been established on good evidence that Admiral Dewey was at this time a Lieutenant on the Mis- sissippi, and escaped. Several stories have been published about his daring escape. also stories that he was prisoner of war. This is all modern news to the army at Port Hudson. The truth Is that we, In common with oth- CT people. never heard of Lieutenant or Admiral Dewey, until after his brilliant victory at Manila For this and other deeds, we as conquered, but patriotic rebels, honor him.

per cent, in the ten classes down t

per cent. in the ten classes down to the year before last.
 ''Th striking fact respecting college graduates Is that eleven per cent. few CT of them go into law. medicine and divinity. and this entire eleven per cent. have gone into teaching. What Is the explanation? I answer first, the teaching profession has increased in dignity and reputation. and in no part of the world more than in the re- zion where New York University finds Its students. a
 "A second reason is that philan- thropic spirits find in teaching today. compared with other professions. lar ger scope than ever before. Law is less altruistic as profession and more commercial than a generation ago. Theology is waiting for new state ments of what to teach and how to teach. Therefore. men who are in- clined to teach turn to the common school. the high school and the college to find scope for influencing others for good.
 AS further explanation of the vast increase in the number of the teachers required for the higher positions. I can give exact figures for only the year 1905, compared with the year 1900. In 1900 there were enrolled in the high school of New York city 11,706 stu dents. Last year there were enrolled 20.770 students; in other words, they have almost doubled In the space of five years"

enormous success. Mrs. Kelton told her husband afterwards that Mrs Gull
 foy's cook must be an angel tMrs. Gull foy had cooked the greater part of 1t herselD. When the ladies had re- tired Mir. Kelton drew his chair up to
 the table. and over some undoubted port broached the subject of the case,
 as Mrs. Guilfoy knew he would. Then, one by one as a man drives tacks into a board. Tom Guilfoy drove his wife's ideas into the senior part ner's head. The partner was delighted, he rose and shook hands with his bar rister, and they finished the bottle in great good fellowsip. Then they went up to the drawing room.
 When the carriage was announced, and after Mrs. Kelton had kissed Mrs. Guilfoy, Mir. Kelton said warmly to his hostess:
 Madam, I congratulate you on your husbands ability He's clever fell low. madam: he's solved a great difi- culty for us. An enormous difficulty! I see a future before him, madam. I'm proud of his acquaintance. Good night"
 A week later the case was heard, and Guilfoy made his first public ap- pearance. He was nervous, but conff- dent, for his wife had drilled the line well into him. He was no fool, nor was he wanting in oratorical powers, and. backed up by the peculiar nature of his defense, he was soon at his ease. His argument was a great suc- cess. and His Honor, in giving judg- ment for the defendant. referred in highly complimentary terms to the ability of his learned brother. Thomas Guilfoy's fortune had commenced. Soon afterwards his wife presented
 him with a son and heir. and the
 senior partner stood godfather. The
 doctor, shaking his head solemnly. said: Mrs: Guilfoy must not be wor- ried," consequently her husband lost a
 big will case in a most unaccountable
 manner; he took the wrong line his solicitors affirmed Then the medical man ordered a sea voyage, and Mrs She looked terribly careworn and pale, | and her husband naturally felt anx- | fous. He put up at the club during her ab- sence, and for the first two months
 wrote regularly by every mall. Then she began to figure in his eyes as a tall. thin, dark eyed woman, who cried l to be a good boy, to work hard, and above all to write often. After this he only wrote once a fortnight Somehow or other things began to go very wrong with Tom Guilfoy He neglected his work and lost three i'm portant cases through pure careless ness. His solicitors demonstrated but he took no notice. He lost another. Then he began to take nip oc- casionally.- All men and good many women know what that means. He scarcely went near his office. but played pool at the club until his hand grew too shaky and he could hardly see the balls. After that for three | weeks he disappeared into the black | valley altogether.
 His wife had been gone six months
 and he only wrote when he felt in- | clined-which was not often. His | handwriting must have been a revela- tion to her. for she suddenly. wrote
 announcing her return. Taking the letter out of the club rack he put 1t in

Dust Problem of London.

The problem of London dust should be much simpler. for we have aban- doned the hope of cultivating straw berries upon the window sills of our flats, says a London exchange Yet the official dust collector Is as incompetent as the silliest housemaid-who thinks she Is cleaning a room when she Hicks a bit of dust from one corner to an other. On the recent gusty day the dustmen of the royal borough of Ken sington were seen shifting the refuse from a huge block of flats The wind whipped its tribute from the pile as 1t was tipped from the cart, the street was filtered with scraps of paper, the eyes of citizens were filled with dust and tn scavengers drove on happy with a perentage of their gain.

his pocket, intending to read 1t when alone. About a month afterwards he chanced to find 1t. The Oratava was expected that day, and he went down to williamstown to. meet her. taking just a nip or two to prepare himself for the interview. He could not trust himself to shave.
 Arriving on board he hunted about for his wife. She was in the salon. and two stewards. counting spoons at a side table looked out of the corners of their eyes at him and winked at each other
 I have said before that Mrs. Guii- foy was clever woman. withdraw that statement and say that she was the cieverest woman that breathed. Another wife would have shrieked and tainted on being welcomed by such a husband as Tom Guilfoy looked at that moment, but she did neither; she was far too wise. Conceive 1t if you can! But tell you that that radiant; ma jestic creature, beautiful as Aurora, foated up the salon towards him with her hands outstretched. and before he knew where he was she had kissed him on either cheek crying: Tom, Tom, my dear, dear boy! EOns how glad am to be with you againT Then she took him home. and he felt like a bad little boy who. antfci- pating a whipping. had been unexpect- edly forgiven.
 Now how that woman worked no one will ever understand; but she slaved, she toiled, she fought, she struggled
 night and day to lift her husband back to his lost position. She was popular before she left; she was thousand times more popular when she returned. Nobody could deny her anythfng;; and even old Kelton began to think rhat after all perhaps he'd been just at lit- tie too hard on Tom.
 A small brief followed. She brushed her husband up, gave him his cue ana he won two more cases, and his nerve returned. By this time he could run downstairs without using the banis- 1 ters. s
 His cure was compfete,l and everyone | said that Tom Guilfoy was ta better man than they had thought him. Of
 course he got all the 'credit-that's s
 | what is called the justice of. life Since then he has left the club se- yerely alone. and his wife takes pre- cious good care that he takes "nips" no longer. He trusts to her judgment
 for everything!
 Today there is not a more popular
 | barrister in Melbourne than Thomas Guilfoy, and as for his wife-well. I'm
 not going to say what think of her.

A Valuable Agent.

Tho glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce's medicines greatly enhances the medij cinal properties which it extracts and holds in solution much better than alcod hol would. It also possesses medicinal properties of its own, being valuable demulcent, nutritive, sntiseptic and anti ferment. It adds greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cherrybark Golden Seal root Stone root and Queens root, con tained in Golden Medical Discovery in subduing chronic, or lingering coughs. bronchial, throat and lung affections, mended by standard medical authorities.
 In all cases where there is Q wasting away of flesh, loss of appetite, with weak stomach, as in the early stages of consumption, there can be no doubt that gycerine acts as valuable nutritive and aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root, Queens root and Black Cherrybark in promoting digestion and building up the mesh and strength, controlling the cough and bringing about healthy condition of the whole system. Of course, It must not be expected to work miracles. It will not cure consumption except in its earlier stages.

TEACHING POPULAR.
Educator Says College Graduates are
 Adopting 1t as Profession.

Adopting 1t as Profession.
 New York Tribune.
 Chancellor MacCracken spoke yes- terday at the New York university commencement exercises of the in- creasing tendency of college graduates to adopt teaching as a profession. The chancellor took his information. he said, from the first volume of the new general alumni catalogue, which is devoted to the alumni of the College of Art and Pure Science. Chancellor MacCracken made the only address of the day. He said in part:
 What change, if any. has there been in the choice of professions by college graduates in the last twenty years? I was recently asked this ques- tion by a New York editor. and was unable to answer him. I have since obtained this Information from the advance sheets of the new alumni catalogue, issued to mark the seventy fifth anniversary of the university

The chief results are as 1OIlOWo. hcTe two Al.luS Ol OC- cupation which enlisted graduates for the first decade and for the second in practically the same proportions.

To Get More Strength
 from Your Food

It needs only one Cascaret at q time 10 stimulate all the eBowel-Muscles enough, without purging. discomfort or loss of nutrition.
 So. if you want the same natural action that a six-mile walk in the country would give you. (without the weariness) take one Cascaret at time, with intervals between, till you reach the exact condi- ton you desire.
 One Cascaret at a time will properly cleanse a foul Breath, or Coated Tongue. thus proving clearly its ready. steady, sure. but mild and effective action.
 A coming Headache can be warded off, in short order, by single Cascaret. and the cause removed.
 Heartburn. Gas-belching, Acid-nsings in the throat. and Colicky feeling are sure signs of Bowel trouble from food poisons, and should be dealt with promptly.
 One Cascaret will stop the coming trouble, move on the Bowel load, andfre the Digestive Juices, if that one Cascaret is taken as soon as the first signs arc noticed.
 
 Don't fail to carry the Vest Pocket Cascaret Box with you constantly.
 All Druggists sell them-over ten million boxes a year, for six years past. Be very careful to get the genuine. made only by the Sterling Remedy Com pany and never sold in bulk. Every tablet stamped "CCC."

 When the Bowels arc filled with undi- gested food we may be great deal worse off than if VIC were half starved for want of Food.

 The millions of little Suction Pumps that line the Bowels and Intestines then draw Poison from the decayed Food. instead of the Nourishment they were intended to draw.
 This Poison gets into the blood and, fin time, spreads all over the body, unless the Cause of Constipation is promptly removed.
 That Cause of Constipation Is Weak, or Lazy, Bowel Muscles.

When your Bowel-MusoIes grow flabby they need Exercise to strengthen them - not Physic" to pamper them.
 There's only one kind of Artificial Exercise for the Bowel-Muscles.
 Its name is CASCARETS, and Its price Is Ten Gents box.
 Cascarets act like Exercise on the Muscles of the Bowels, and make them stronger every time they force these Muscles to act naturally.
 The stronger these Muscles propel the food, the stronger does the friction of tho food act on the flow of Digestive Juices. Tho more of these Juices that act on food. the more Nutriment does that food turn into. and the richer nourishment do the little Suction Pumps of tho lntestines draw out of 1t.
