issued to-day shows that for the
month of July, 1906, the total re-

a deficit for the month of $%1S,514,s69

July, so that 1T was taken into the

instituted in commemoration of a ma

doge of Venice, over Otto, son of Fred
erick Barbarossa, liza. In consequence
of this victory Pope Alexander Ill,
who had been driven to take refuge in
Venice, gave to the doge the sovereign

used to go in grand procession in his
state barge and throw gold ring into
the Adriatic, saying, with this ring l

into the sea. and the procession re-
turned. The sentence delivered by the
doge on the occasion was literally,

ORIGIN , OF NAVAL TILES.
eSrr@wed Military Terms From the
= Arabic and the Spanish.


In the early days the rank of adalri.;
vas unknown. The chief officer OF a
squadron was called a. constable or JUS
tice, The term admiral as now used
10 derived from the Arabic amir" or
''emir. commander las In ''amir-al-
bahr." commander of the seal. The
early English form was "amiral" and
Is still preserved as such by the
French. The Spanish and Portuguese
terms are "almirante," the Italian
"animlraglio." The title captain is not
naval but military one. Under the
older organization the real captain of
q ship Ras master, but military Of
hcer was placed on board, though he
knew nothing about nautical affairs,
As the captain became bigger and big
ger the master became smaller and
Pmaller until at the present day he
nlls a subordinate position, which Is
gradually becoming obsolete, being re-
placed by an officer under the title Of
a navigating lieutenant.
Commodore comes from the Spanish
"commendador The title lieutenant,
borrowed directly from the French, is
more modern and is meant as a place
holder or one who took the place of
the captain when absent. Sublieuten-
ant is still more modern and at the
same time misnomer, as he never
was sublleutenant, but merely a
mate, or one who assisted. In former
days we had no cadets, but volun-
teers. However, with the gradual ad
vance of polltness, the more seemly
term Of cadets was borrowed from the
French and adopted as the title Of the
young gentlemen in our navy.
In place Of paymasters the ships OF
old had pursers, who looked after the
provisions. The naval .purser did more.
He had charge OF the stores of the
ahIp and the money chest Surgeons
and surgeons mates fulfilled the duties
Of the doctors. Chaplains are Of mod
ern introduction. Naval instructors
and schoolmasters ruled In their stead.
The term mate was rather a universal
one and applied to all branches.

A SHIPS DOCTOR.
The Things For Which He should or
should Not BE Paid.

A correspondent Of Lloyd's Weekly
has expressed the views OF ship doc.
tor in the following words: MANY
travellers are in doubt as to the po-
sition Of the ships doctor in regard to
his remuneration from passengers for
services rendered. The merchant ship
ping act enacts that every foreign 60
ing vessel having a hundred persons on
board or upward shall carry on board
as part of her complement a duly
qualified medical practitioner. Further
more, an emigrant ship-i. e., foreign
going vessel which carries fifty or
more steerage passengers-must have
a medical man, irrespective Of the
number of crew or of other passengers
carried. The salary Of the doctor on
board is commensurate with these du-
ties to his ship. To any passengers
who are suffering from ordinary forms
Of seasickness and its concomitant
evils or who receives injuries which
are in any way due to the ship the
Doctors services are free. For any
sickness contracted before sailing or
during voyage which is not connected
with the above named conditions he is
entitled to remuneration at the same
rate as he would receive ON shore. OBJ
viously 1t would be as unfair to ex-
pect that his services to passengers
should be rendered gratis as it would
be for any visitor in hotel or travel
ing on a railway to expect to have
medical attention free in any illness
for which the hotel or railway authorl-
ties could not be held responsible"
The writer of a letter to the London
Lancet says that the case Of the ships
surgeon is stated with accuracy in the
above sentences and adds that ships
surgeons are Of two klnds-frst, those
who after they have qualified take
such a position either for health or for
pleasure, and, second, those who elect
to make sea life permanency.
The pay of the ships doctor varies
from $50 to $50 month. This Is for
duties to officers and crew. AS regards
passengers in relation to the surgeon
the following groups will include all:
First, the passenger who takes the
initiative by remunerating the surgeon,
perhaps handsomely, for any services
rendered; second, the passenger who
asks for his bill and pays it If reason
able; third, the passenger who, travel
lug for the first time, does not know
whether to ask for his bill or wait for
1t to be delivered, but is pleased TO be
enlightened on the matter; fourth, the
passenger who cllngs to the old time
notion that the surgeon is there solely
for the benefit Of passengers, and, fifth,
the passenger who never intends to
pay the srrgeon.-AIsdIcal Record.

A Heavy Load to Garry.

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous
ness and general ill-health. Why? Be-
cause a disordered stomach does not per-
nit the food to be properly digested, and
it's products assimilated by the system.
The blood is charged with poisonS which
come from this disordered digestion, and
In turn the nerves are not fed on good,
red blood, and we see symptoms Of nerv-
business, sleeplessness and general break
down. 1t is not head work, nor over ply
steal eXertion that does it, but poor stOm-
ach work. With poor, thin blood the
body is not protected against the attack
of germs Of grip, bronchitis and consump-
tion. Fortify the body at once with DIR.

to perfect his own peculiar processes for

The enormous popularity of "Golden

scientific compounding and to the actual
medicinal value Of its ingredients. The
publication of the names of the tngrGdt-

the use Of an unknown or secret remedy.

GIOTTO, THE ARTIST.


The Circle He Drew From Which
Grew n Famous Phrase.
GiottO was famous painter, sculp-
tor and architect Of the latter part OF
the thirteenth century. He was a son
Of a poor shepherd, but the attention
Of the great master, CImabue, having
been attracted to the boy by, draw
ing the lad had made on fragment Of
slate, the young artists fame spread
rapidly throughout southern Europe.
In those days 1t was customary for
the popes to send for the noted men
Of their realm, more for the purpose Of
gratifying their desires to see such
celebrities than anything else. Giotto
was no exception to the rule No
sooner had, the young Tuscan become
famous than Pope Bonlface VIII. in
vltcd him to Florence. When young
GIotto arrived at the gates Of the
pope's private grounds, according to
f~the account, the guard halted him and
=. manfred concernlng his mission.
The artist made the matter plain, but
the guard was not satisfied with the
explanation, frequently interruptlns
a63lotto's explanatory remarks with, "I
sEnowFhe must be a much larger and
distinguished looking person than your
SELF" and "Glotto, too, is famous
painter. By your walk I would take
you to be shepherd" Finally. upon
demanding evidence of the artists
skin. the latter stopped and traced a
perfect o in the dust of the path With
his finger. Any one who has ever at
tempted the feat Of drawing a perfect
circle "offhand" well knows how diff
cult 1t Is.
1t is needless to add that the artist
was forthwith ushered into the pres
erce of the supreme pontlff, and that
since that time "Rounder than Giotto's
o. has been favorlte hyperbole to In
dicate impossible perfection"
