Manners outside the Navx.


 The ordinary seamans respect for rank end station when not connected with lis beloved vessel Is decidedly meager. When the president of the United States visits one of our mem of-war he is received at the gaugway by the admiral, commanding officer and all of the officers of the ship. in full uniform, the marine guard drawn up with the band on the quarterdeck. the national flag is displayed at the main, the drummer gives four rufilcs, the band plays the national air and a salute of twenty-one guns is fired, The same ceremony also takes place on his leaving.
 On one occasion a president visited one of the ships informally, dispensing with the salute and ceremony, when one of the men rather indignantly asked another who that lubber was on the quartGrdeck that didn't ''douse his peak" to fie commodore.
 Choke your luff. will you?" was the reply. That's the president of the United States"
 Well, ain't he got manners enough to salute the quarterback, if he isT'

The Land of Noises.

''In China night is as alive as the day and is flied with whoOps, noisy conversations, the singsOng accom- panying work, boisterous repartee and every other unmusical sOund," says q writer in the Montreal Standard. Tn addition, the darkness is one long how i of dogs, cackle of geese, praying of donkeys, croaking of frogs, the squeal- ing of pigs, the Grumbeats of the po- liceman and e-en, as some one has said, the singing of the stars In dividually the people are full of varie ties of unsupprcEset violent demon. strativeness, and collectively they are only a terrific tribal turbulence. One most appropriate name for China has never been given it. It has been called the Yellow Kingdom, the Middle King dom, the Celestial empire, the Pigtail nation, the Sleepy Giant and others. No one of these is more applicable than the nation of noises. Noise is seem inly the first element of Chinese life and has been cultivated for centuries by Chinese talent and in conception, development and execution presents not only new varieties, but scores of new snecies-"

Flowers That Change Color.

There are many flowers that change color" said the old gardener. There is the mutabue phloX. for instance At sunrise it is blue, and in the after noon it is pink. Then there is hibiscus hibiscus mutabilis. It goes through three changes in the day, from white in the morning to rose at noon and to red at sunset. Likewise the lantana. Tine lantana is yellow one day, orange the next and red the third. Its changes are slow. There are other flowers, too, that change. There's the chieranthus chameleO. that shifts from white to yellow and from yellow to red. There's the gladiolus versicoior, that's brown in the morning and blue in the evening. There's the colaea scandens, that moves slowly from greenish white to a deep vioIet."-New Orleans Times Democrat

How to Follow Forest Trails.

"The trail has a code of signs. as well as a book of laws" says Hamlin Garland in ''The Long Trail" A twiG designedly broken is like a finger pointing toward gate. A blaze cor responds to the beckoning hand. A new blaze renders an old one of no value. A sapling cut and bent across a path locks it and warningly says. Go no farther this way A stick set upright in the mud means mo bottom here
 By use of these and many other records of the same sort, the trailer profits by the experience of those who have gone before him and aids those who are to follow. There Is always news on the trail for those who have eyes to perceive it, and it is the duty of him who rides ahead to enlighten those who are to follow. The klikit6t by means of signs almost invisible can cheer, direct and definitely warn his trlbesman. These signs on the trail are respected. No one thinks of re moving them except for cause"

ELUSIVE CHINAMAN
 IS RUN ID EARTH
Gave Cornell and Other Officers Much Trouble for Two
 Years.

After eludn immigration authori- ties and local officers fin the vicinity of Morenci for several ye=rs, during which time he escaped arrest only by the narrowest Of margins several times when his place was raided, Chinaman has at last been arrested at Morenci and is awaiting disposition by the immigration authorities of the territory.
 ThSs information was last night conveyed to Inspector Charles T. Con nell of this city in a telegram re- ceived from the constable at Mo renci. The local inspector. smiled a gleeful smile when he read the mes sage, as the Chinaman had with a braggadocio unequalled by any other of his race in dealing with the immi- grafton officers, sent Cornell word in a contemptous strain that he and the other officers were easy marks and that he would never be arrested by them.
 That fellow is about the smoothest Chinaman l have ever had anything to do with" said Inspector Connell last night. We repeatedly raided his place during the last two years but never corralled him. Either some one would tip us off by telephone or by getting word to him in some other way, or he would see our approach and take to the brush before we could get to him. His place Is among the Coronado mountains, and anyone who has been in that country knows how rough they are. His house is situated so that the approach of anyone can be seen if there is some one watching, and this old Chink
 seemed to know when to have a guard out. Anyway, whenever a raid was directed against him he got wise in some way and took of into the hills.
 "One time he got away from us after we had actually bearded him. How he did it we would have never known had not another Chinaman told us. He thought it was such a good joke that he could not keep 1t. This time there was quite party Of us and we had the Chink's shack sur rounded. Moreover. we knew he was l in the house for we had actually seen | him as we approached. We all knew | the old fellow and there was no mis | taking that it was he. As we closed ! in on the house We were detected and | immediately there was Scamper fol
 cover among those in the room. We | broke into the house confidently eX pecting to land Mr. Chink. but, tC our great surprise, nothing was seer | of him. Other Chinks were there but not the elusive one. We turned the shack upside-down but nowhere coult | the undesirable one be found. Dur l ing the commOtion attendant upO! l our entrance we noticed that a dog il 1 the room was making a good deal O noise. He was a bull dog and a ferO cious looking beast. In one corne of the room was a sort of kennel witt quite an opening in it. As We camt in the room the dog Tetreated to tht kennel and from there gave utteranct 70 low-toned and menacing gTowls
 But we paid no especial attention t that
 Finally we retired, someone of u saying 'stung again
 We were mystified for weeks tt know how the Chink had eiuded u and it was not until one of the China
 men in the room told us that the olt fellow had crawled into the kenne
 with the dog that we knew how happened"

ELECTRIC PROGRESS.

What the mayor and those who ac- companied him on the inspection visit to New York have reported with re- gard to the actual results of electri- fication of steam lines tends to give the average layman a realizing sense of the force of MT. Arnold's general remark concerning the present state O. electric railroading. Moreover. New England papers tell us that within a week or two the entire distance be- tween Stamford and the Grand Gen. tral station in New York-thirty-three miles-will be put under the electric system. Delays have occurred in the installation of the new service. but the great improvement is at last to be completed. and the commuters and other passengers may rejoicce at the prospect of speedy relief from those undesirable "by-products of the loco- motives" as the Providence Journal calls them. smoke and cinders and the bath of powdery dirt.-Chicago Rec ord Herald.

THE TEACHERS WISDOM.

The ideal teacher must be in pos session of a wealth of accumulated wisdom. These hungry pupils are drawing all their nOurishment from us. and have we got it tosgive. They will be poor if we are poor: rich if We are wealthy. We are their source of supply. Every time We cut our selves off from nutrition we enfeeble them. And how frequently devoted teachers make this mistake. dedicating themselves so to the immediate needs of those about them that they them selves grow thinner each year. We all know the teachers face" It is meagre, worn. sacrificial. anxious, powerless. That is exactly the op- posite of what it should be. The teacher should be the big bounteous being of the community. Other peo- pie may get along tolerably by hold ing whatever small knowledge comes their wa.. A moderate stock will pretty we'll serve their private turn. But that t rot our case. Supplying a multitude. we need wealth suffi- cient for a multitude. We should then be clutching at knowledge on every side. Nothing must escape us. It is a mistake to reject a bit of truth be-
 cause it lies outside our province. Some day we shall need it.-Professor G. H. Palmer. in The Atlantic Monthly.

KNOWS HOW. Doctor Had Been Over the Road.

When a doctor who has been the victim of the coffee habit. cures him self by leaving off coffee and taking Postum Food Coffee. he knows some thing about what he is advising ip that line.
 A good old doctor in Ohio. who had at one time been the victim of the coffee habit. advised woman to leave off coffee and take on Postum. She suffered from indigestion and weak and irregular heart and gen. eral nervous condition. She thought that 1t would be difficult to stop cof- fee abruptly. She says: "I had con- siderable hesitancy about making the change. one reason being that a friend of mine tried Postum and did not like it. The doctor. however. gave explicit directions that POstum must be boiled long enough to bring out the favour and food value.
 His suggestions were carried out and the delicious beverage fascinated me. so that I hastened to inform my friend who had rejected Postum. She is now using it regularly. after she found that 1t could be made to taste good.
 T observed. short time after start ing Postum. a decided change in my nervous system I could sleep sound ly. and my brain was more active. My complexion became clear and rosy. whereas. it had been muddy and spot ted before; in fact. all of the abnOr- nal symptoms disappeared and I am now feeling perfectly well.
 Another friend was troubled in much the same manner as l. and she has recovered from her heart and stomach trouble by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee.
 ''I know of several others who have had much the same experience It Is only necessary that Postum be well boiled and it wins its own way" There's a reason" Read The Road to Wellville" in pkgs.

USE FOR THE EIFFEL TOWER

Keep a thing for 20 years and you will find a use for it." is the old rule. The French have had half a mind to tear Sown the 3OO-meter tower built by NJ Eiffel for the exposition. because it was good for nothing and they were not at all sure that it was an orna- ment to their city. but now before the 20-year limit is up they have found it very handy. The troops who are fighting the Arabs in Morocco are in direct and immediate communication with the headquarters of the army at the capital. The antennae on the Eff fel tower exchanges wireless messages over or through land and sea with the masts of the cruiser Galilee in the harbor of Casablanca.-New York In- dependent.

! a returning healthy condition of the market than otherwise. a condition
 that the market cannot be accused of.
 when it hovers around 25 cents per pound. for the simple reason, as stat
 eu above, that il discOurages consump- | tion and allows large stocks to accu- | mulate. There is no question but that | under normal conditions. the stock of crude copper has been decreasing for years and the demand increasing and | in fact the question has often been ' asked where the future supply for electrical equipment is to come from. Copper mines are not inexhaustible. and every pound extracted means just
 so much less in the ground. The old
 sources of supply. though not exhaust
 ed. are getting nearer and nearer to extinction and reaching more or less rapidly the point of exhaustion.
 Though the long life of copper mines
 is well established. they cannot last forever. as T. : Rickard once said. even Methuselah died. While this does not mean as much to us as it does in some of the older countries of Eu-
 rope where some of the mines have
 been worked since the times of the
 Romans. nevertheless, in Michigan
 the mines have reached a depth of
 ever a mile and in Montana nearly
 half as much, and consequently are in
 both places much nearer exhaustion
 than are the mines of this territory.
 With these facts in mind, it is pretty
 hard to See how the price of the metal
 can stay down for any great length of
 time.
 The rumors If war between the
 Amalgamated and the Calumet and
 Hecla interests are absurd. To begin
 with, the Calumet and Hecla people
 do not want any other property and on the other hand. are in d position to defend themselves against any raids as Is perhaps no other copper produc- CT in the world. For one thing. they have reduced their cost of production down to minimum so that it is as low, If not lower than any other mine in the world. and is certainly much lower than that Of the Amalgamated in Butte. In addition to this, they can get nearly one-half of a cent per pound more for their copper than can the Amalgamated, their product be- ing lake copper. while that of the Amalgamated is electrolytic. The re- suit of these two conditions is that should the Amalgamated- be able to cut the price of the metal below nine cents per pound Gan impossibility on the face of iD the Calumet and Hecla people would still be able to operate at profit, while they themselves Cthe Amalgamated) would lose on every pound of copper they produced. Hence the improbability of any action on the part of the Amalgamated such as ru- nor attributes to it, and the utter i'm possibility of their being able to con- trol the production of copper as the Standard oil Co. controls that of oil.
 Taking all of the above facts into consideration, it is only fair to ex- pect in the near future a healthy tone and stability to the copper market that It has not known for some time past, and in the end the price of metal Will undoubtedly be somewhere be- tween fifteen an eighteen cents per pound, a price at which all of the pro- ducers can make a profit and at the same time one that win not discourage consumption in any line
