RoARED MS GENTLE REsUKE.
Mates Wrath Found Vent In Peculiar
Form Of Reproach.

Rear Admiral Mead, who has Just
been retired. was talking one night at
a dinner in Portsmouth about the
power Of discipline
IN my YOUTH he said, Il knew
first mate in the merchant service
who though an excellent officer was
dreAdiully prorane When anything
went wrong he would volley forth
oaths and curses in shocking way.
Once though, he shipped with a very
strict. religious captain, and the hrst
time this captain CHANGED TO witness
one of the mates swearing bouts he
gave the young man good dressing
down. You are a first-rate officer, he
ended but remember, no more swear
ing Not another oath aboard my
ship.
well the mate bore the captain 8
warning in mind. Then one afternoon
It happened that the boatswain made
an inexcusable error in carrying out
an order. When the boatswain. con-
fessed the fault he had committed
tho mate turned red with rage, lie
opened his mouth. Everybody looked
at him expectantly waiting to hear
some remarkable oaths but just then
the captain hove in sight. The mate
seeing the captain, remembered his
orders about profanity But his rage
had to have a vent of some sort and,
striding up close to the culprlt, he
roared in the mans face, You naugh-
ty, naughty boatswain!' "

ton of the muscles or Of the coverings

panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part Of the body, but after
settling in one joint or muscle for
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency of the
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for q time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose as their action is
directly on the blood. making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood is

DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured

Channels Skins from Sheep.

Chamos skins in a majority OF
cases, according to a United States
consular report recently issued, are
really an oil tanned sheep or lamb
skin lining. The supply of skins from
the chamois is very limited, Enough
could not be obtained in a year to
supply the United States for more
than single day, a fair average
crop from Switzerland being only
about 5000 to 5000 skins, The cha.
mois skin is heavier than the skin OF
the sheep or lamb, and much coarser,
For strength and durability the cha
mois is preferable, but for ordinary
use and appearance the obtained
sheepskin lining would, in most in
stances, be preferred.
