Many stories have been written and
told about Admiral Dewey and his
heroic deed at Manila bay, but none
show the kindness of heart of which
this modern hero is capable as the fol-
lowing, which has just come to light:
When the order was given to strip for
action just before the battle of Manila
Bay powder boy on the flagship accl-
dentally dropped his coat overheard.
He asked permission TO jump after it,
but was refused. In spite of the re-
fusal he dropped overheard, recovered
his coat, was caught and arrested for
dlsobedience of orders, a serious Of
fense in the navy, especially under this
commander. The boy was brought be-
fore the admiral, who kindly but firm
ly demanded an explanation. Break
ing into tears, the lad said the coat
contained his mothers picture and he
could not bear to see it lost. For once
tho admiral relaxed in his discipline.
Release him." he said. "A boy who
loves his mother enough to risk his
life for her picture cannot be kept up-
der arrest In this fleet"

Why do we grieve at separations?
Why do everlasting farewells chill our
hearts, and the fading away Of lost
joys fill us with bitterness?
BE not the slave Of words" says
Carlyle. rs not the distant, tie dead.
while i love it and long for 1t and
mourn for 1t, here In the genuine sense,
as truly as the floor stand on?"
And are not all good experiences thus
forever part of our lives? Can we
therefore regret or mourn any past Joy,
any lost friend? Nothing is lost or gone
from lis that we have the spirit and
capacity to appropriate and make our
own forever 1t Is not the touch Of
body that makes presence. Have we
not all known times when presence In
the flesh brought no nearness, and
again when the absent one seemed un-
speakably near In spirit? So not to be
within the actual physical sense, but
to be able to appreciate and love the
spirit Of another, Is the true association
and communion. Hence our friends
need never die, nor need we ever be
parted from them.
Further, In order to realize them
truly we need to be separated from
them in the flesh at times. Else we
shall grow to think them all body and
forget that diviner, Intangible, un-
namable essence-the living spirit, the
real self.-Exchange.

They Had Escaped That.

A young disciple of Blackstone who
had worked his way through college
and taken full course in the study of
law besides was making trip through
the southwest in search of an eligible
location for the practice of his profess
sion. \ thrifty young city, with a
considerable body Of water on one side
of it and a forest on the other, attract
ed his attention, and he decided to
make few days stay there and in
vestigate
Putting up at what seemed to be
the best hotel he ate his dinner, then
strolled into the Office and proceeded
in a careless way to interrogate the
clerk.
"Ihere Is a good deal of business
done In this town, isn't there" he
asked
Eyes, sir" answered the young man.
'In one way and another there's q
good jag of business going ON here"
Healthy place, isn't it?"
"Middllng"
''Is there much litigation here"
"No, haven't heard of any cases of
that, but there's a lot of chills an
fever and occasionally pretty bad

spirits. Lorena would come to no
harm. And if she had sense enough 10
keep her mouth shut he Gore would
see TO il that she was handsomely
made up to for her present fright. But
of course he could not acknowledge her
as an acquaintance when she looked
such guy and had let herself get
caught in such a plight.
Lorena, noting his absence. stumbled
blindly toward the bank and half fell
upon it, covering her eyes with both
hands. Mullen scrambled out beside
her and tried to lift her TO her feet, the
rest jeering him, pretending to say
things aside and singing in cracked
chorus, where is my wandering boyF'
They were laughing so loud, watching
so intently. Johnny fell upon them like
a thunderbolt from blue skies. Johnny
was still in working clotheS-he had,
In fact, started to the blacksmith's
shop in mad hurry in hope of getting
a dulled plow point sharpened. SO he
had come TO the ford in the very nick
of time to see that n woman was in
need of help and to rush to give 1t.
Gentlemen" Johnny's voice cut like
ice, .'you must show me your warrant
for taking prisoner. Unless you do
He stopped short there, his face white,
his eyes two points of fame. Even yet
he did not know, but a second later
Lorena was beside him, clinging to
him, burying her face in his rough
sleeve and sobbing out: Johnny! Save
me. Take me away. Don't stop to
fight them-only take me and go"
Not yet" Johnny said, putting her
gently away.
The events of the next five minutes
are better left unchronicled. Suffice it
that Mr.. Granville Gore and his sports
men friends from the city went away
on the night train. at least two of the
visitors carrying beautiful black eyes.
AS to how the eyes had been achieved
there was discreet silence. But when
In the fall Lorena and Johnny were
married there came to the bride a
chest of massive silver, alon5 with an
unsigned note which ran: please ac-
cept this in token of forgiveness. Re-
member, you owe me something-in
that / gave you occasion to find out
the difference there is between a man
and a mouse"
Lorena was for sending it back, but
Johnny laughed and said: Mullen is
right. He is Il man. You can drub 4

runs away"

rena added with a pensive smile

HOT AND COLD WATER.
How 10 Use These Remedies to th
Best Advantage.

How TO Use These Remedies to the
Best Advantage.
/ Hot or cold water is excellent as an
application for Inflammation, conges-
tions or abrasions, but how many peo-
pie know which to apply in particular
cases while awaiting the arrival Of
medical relief? Not many, and the mis-
takes made in some instances are lu-
dicrous.
Take the barber, for example, who
has cut his patrons face. he generally
washes the face with Il towel soaked
In warm water, often pressing it right
into the injury, and then wonders why
the blood flows from the cut so freely.
In ninety-nine cases out Of hundred
If he had used cold water, and the
colder the better, the blood would
have ceased to flow from the injury al
together, as the cold would have ten
dency to contract the openings in the
torn blood vessels. In all cases of such
cuts or abrasions very cold water will
at least reduce the amount of bleeding
If II doesn't stop It altogether, and yet
slHSuldTII enough, DolIiAS NulcE VIII
have the same effect
Water below the boiling point in
creases the flow, but above that de-
gree decreases 1t. In surface inflamma-
tions or congestlons cold water ought
to be used, while If the condition is sit
uated below the surface hot water IS
necessary as an application because it
draws the blood toward the surface
and thus stimulates the circulation
through the part where it is most
needed.
In cases of assesses or pimples
with pus forming in them, but which
have not yet come TO head, the secre-
tion Of pus can be rapidly increased
and the duration of the annoyance
thereby decreased by applying hot wa
ter to them at frequent intervals.
Where the eye is infiamed or smarts,
after period Of eye strain, such as
night work often induces, hot appli-
cations are the things for relief, but
the water used should be gradually
allowed TO cool off toward the end.
Tired eyes will invariably be rejuve-
mated by adopting this method of treat
ment. and many headaches resulting
from such condition may thereby be
prevented or cured.-St. Louis Globe

ORIGIN OF NEW YORK NAMES
New Dorp Replaced n Town Thrice
Destroyed by Fire.


There are some names of places in
Greater New York common enough on
the modern tongue, but the origin Of
which is lot so generally known. New
Dorp. on Staten Island. was SO named
by the Dutch to distinguish 1t from
Dude Dorp (Old Dorp). the first Dutch
settlement on the island, which was
thrice destroyed by the Indians. Old
Dorp stood to the northwest of Fort
WadSworth, about where Arrochar
now stands. Two miles to the west of
the ruins of Old Dorp the persistent
Dutch built their New Dorp.
The northeast section of Staten Is
land. which until the formation Of
Greater New York was known rs Cas-
tleton, and Is still generally so called,
takes its name from the fact that it
once formed Governor Dongan's ''man-
or of Castleton." Dongan-the Dongan
hills are named from him-was Of the
family Of the Earl of Limerick, and the
seat of the earl in Ireland was Castle
town, IN the County Kildare. Many Of
Governor Dongan's descendants still
cupying and owning houses on the land
of the old manor. At first Governor
Dongan merely had a hunting lodge on
Staten Island, and it is significant Of
the state of that portion of New York
city at the end of the seventeenth cen
fury that at meeting of the colonial
council the governor was entered on

Bedlow's island, on which the statue
of Liberty stands, was purchased in
1716 by an Englishman named Bedlow,
who had amassed q large fortune in the
East India trade and was an acquaint-
ance Of the then governor, the notori-
Gus Lord Cornbury. Bedlow received
from Cornbury the privilege of victual-
ing the British fleets which frequented
New York. 1t was a most profitable
monopoly, having in it great possibili-
ties of graft Cornbury is supposed TO
have "stood in" with Bedlow. When
Bedlow died suddenly Cornbury seized
all his papers, collected all the out
standing debts due the contractor, and
kept everything of Bedlow's he could
lay his hands on, leaving Bedlow's wild
ow and children in poverty. Bedlow' 5
island was bought and used by the con-
tractor while he victualed the fleets as
q depot for his stores.
Corlear's Hook takes its name from
Jacob Corlear, the city trumpeter in
the old Dutch days. Governor Beck
man bought it from him. The governor
also bought Il country estate, the site
of which is commemorated by Beck
man street.
The true meaning of the word Man.
haitian, originally spelled variously as
Mana -ha-ta, Manhattoes and Manhat-
tan, is hid in mystery 1t is not even
certain whether it was the naWe. Of the
place or of the tribe which inhabited It,
or of both. The n that the word
meant Place of Drunkenness has been
satisfactorily confuted, but what does
the word mean New York Press.

and. before any one could interfere,
had boxed Ted's ears soundly and fed
to her room. No one made comment
on the scene save that Mr.. Carleton
amusedly met the laughter In Anne's
eyes and told Ted that lie would have
no more OF his teasing. Rosalie's ca
priclous treatment Of John had long
been disapproved of by her family,
and, while they were all sorry for her.
they thought 1t time she should come
TO her senses.
Time had been slow and torturing to
John He wanted TO tell Rosalie that
he loved her and her only. He wanted
to send her flowers, 10 give her every
desire of her heart, and he found 1t
misery to see her or not to see her
Meantime he was very attentive Il
Anne, who was becoming vastly bored
with his raptures and sorrows and was
longing for him to win his Rosalie and
let her go back TO her old peaceful
ways.
At last one night Anne walked and
heard Rosalie sobbing to herself. In
the morning she pleaded headache and
STAYED in her room till nearly evening.
Anne had long conference by tele-
phone with John and took pains to
have her father and Ted spend the
evening elsewhere.
After dinner she went to Rosalie's
room and pleaded being tired. She
coaxed Rosalie TO arrange her pretty
hair and don a pretty gown so she
could 20 down If any one should come.
While Rosalie was sulkily doing as her
sister wished, Anne heard the bell and
slipped down to answer II. She came
back saying it was some one for her
father and asked Rosalie IL she would
mind going to the library and bringing
the book she had left on the table.
RosalIe, in her trailing blue dress,
went downstairs and through the hall
into the library. She had half crossed
the room before she saw John sitting
| in n great chair In the dim freight
| She wanted to flee from him, but some
| how her feet would not move, nor did
she find a word to say. Then to her
/ dismay she knew that slow tear was
| falling down her cheek. John came
quickly toward her 1t seemed very
| comfortable to be leaning against him.
| After awhile he held her of and looked
| at her. She tried to smile.
WELL" he questioned, 'how shall 1t
| be? You know you said you hoped you
| would never have TO refuse me again.
l hope you will not. Just for variety
| suppose you-take me-"
| After the little minutes had cunning
| ly slipped away and 1t was time that
| he should leave her, Rosalie exclaimed
in dismay:
"Oh. Annc's book! She Will be wait
| ing for it,"
| Il hardly think So" John asserted
| dryiy. Your sister Anne Is wise. She
| knew better than to expect you in a
| moment when she sent you down to
me,'
"Sent me TO your Rosalie echoed.
'Yes, my lady! Do you imagine your
| sister has been trailing me about for
| her pleasure: She Is more glad to be
rid of me than-eyer you were!'
"Thcn-it-was not-Anne-everf'
John laughed and bade her good
| night.
| IF you were not perfectly sure that
it was not-Anne-ever,' you would
never, never have asked mev' which
| both of them knew to be true.
And Anne went to bed and slept the
sleep Of one who has successfully per-
| formed an arduous duty.

BLEAK SHETLAND.
Its swarms of Sea GulIs and Its Lone

It's Swarms of Sea GulIE and It's Lone
Tree.
Up q little lane off Lerwick's one
street there Is garden. At least, 1t Is
an inclosed space. In the middle OF
very tall tree; you could, In fact, toss
biscuit over its branches, but still 1t
is a tree-the only tree In Shetland.
And Shetland Is proud Of II. Children
who are brought for the first time to
see the wonders OF one streeted Ler-
wick are shown this tree. This Ia not
fiction. 1t is the only tree In Shetland.
As there are no trees In Shetland,
there are no birds, except, Of course,
the sea gulls, which you can number
by the thousand. The sea gulls are the
sparrows of Lerwick and, MS such.
they have a greater share In the towns
life than have the sparrows OF London.
In the morning time you will note that
n sea gull sits on every chimney pot.
Sea gulls swoop and hover over every
roof in the town.
The air Is full of their strange, high,
plaintive, haunting cries. Their sad,
shrill, long drawn cries arc to Lerwick
as the chattering Of sparrows or the
cawing of rocks are to us In England.
Every house has its own familiar sea
gulls and every street its own band or
sea gulls. They never mix. The chill
dren in each house have pet name for
their own particular sea gulls, and,
having called them to them by those
names, they feed them every day. And
each sea gull knows what Is meant for
him. No sea gull attached to one house
ever seeks to eat the food scattered
from the house next door. He docs not
dare: the other guls would kill him.
So all day long the sea gulls hover and
call over the roofs of Lerwick. The
people of the town, II they come across
q little pile of rice laid upon the road
way, step over 1t with care. They
know that it is placed there for some
sea gull. And at night the sea gulls
leave their own appointed chimney
pots and fly gracefully away to their
resting places on the rocks Of the Isle
of Noss.-London Express.

ward the south and is, on an average
eight miles wide. The water is of q
greenish blue and as clear as crystal.

Pigs In China.

A Peking correspondent says: "It is
no uncommon sight to see twelve or
thirteen enormous fat pigs, with their
legs tied, huddled close together having
a ride in a Chinese cart with some
sort of light cargo on top of them and
a man sitting on the cargo. The pigs
are silent, and consequently one would
think they should not be objects for
the action of the Society For the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals. The
fact Is that the animals are too fat and
lazy to make any noise until disturbed
at their journeys end, when bagpipes
are as italian opera to the terrific
squealing heard"
