oriain of ths poawatch.

The dogwatch on shipboard is
either of the short spells from 4 to
6 o'clock in the evening or from 6
to 8 to break the monotony of the
regular four hour watches, so that
the same men will not stand watch
during the same hours every day.
II, however, you should ask the most
nautical person of your acquaint7
ance or, indeed, all the nautical peo-
pie you know why this is so called,
you would probably find them un-
able to tell you. The true answer
is this: Dogwatch is a corruption
of dodge watch. The dogwatch was
introduced to prevent the same men
from always keeping watch the same
hours of the day; hence on these oc-
rasions the sailors are said to dodge
the routine or to be doing dodge
watch.-Philadelphia Record.

He was rather carelessly dressed,
yet any one who is at all an observ-

his clothes were of excellent mate
rial and had evidently been made by
a good tailor. But the clerk in the
hat shop was young, and he stood by
watching the customer pull over an
assortment of colored hatbands un-
til he struck one that caught, his
fancy. 'G'll take this one" he said,
handing it to the clerk.
"That's the New York Yacht
clubs colors," remarked the clerk,
as if that settled the question. The
customer looked at him sharply and
repeated his statement that he
would take the blue and red and
white band he held in his hand.
"But you don't want that" pro-
tested the clerk. 'Thats only worn
by members of the New York Z Yacht

'T'm one. Just put it on my hat,

of the smallest of the heavenly
bodies. just as the earth goes reund

round the earth approximately in a

we turn on or axis every twenty

nations of light and darkness, day

to revolve on hers, so that she al

The Home In Cities.

Too much is sacrificed to greed of
wage. The home in cities is becom-
ing mere abiding place whence all
fare forth to earn. Unnumbered in
fants are brought into the world in
an atmosphere of hurry and confu-
sion, even where the father is a
skilled workman, earning ample
wages. These demoralizing condi-
tions are "nimagined by the rela-
lively poorer pioneer or farm labor

restfulness and, above all, in time

by which the business transactions Of

on the faith, and wealth, and prop

emplary and engine of its industry
and power. That money which saved
the country in war, and which has
given prosperity and happiness in
peace. To it, four million men owe
their emancipation from slavery. To
1t labor IS indebted for elevation from
that thrall of degradation in which
1t has been enveloped for ages. I
stand for that money, therefore,
which is by far the better agent and
instrumental exchange of an enlight-

silver, the money alike of the barba-

James G. Blaine, in a public speech

citizen is behind it."
