The .Admiral's Other Side.
Admiral Evans, for all his rough and
ready language, has gentler side,
Once he disobeyed orders in an eff
fort to save the life Of sick sailor
who was on board his ship. His orders
were to proceed to certain point for
target practice; but, knowing that the
concussion of the guns would imperil
the life of the sick man, he remained
where he was for ten days until the
, sailor died. iS;.5 4
e At the close Of the naval battle or
Santiago the wounded Captain EulaEe
Of the sunken battleship Viscaya was
brought aboard the Iowa, commanded
by Evans. Captain Eulate unbuckled
his sword, kissed its hilt and handed 1t
to Evans in token Of surrender Evans
Immediately handed it back. 81
Admiral Evans stands up not only
for the dignity Of the American flag,
but for the dignity Of the American
sailor Quite recently he declared that
never again. except under positive or
ders, would he take his ships to two
or three New England ports where
some Of his sailors in uniform have
been Disseminated against by certain
elements Of the population. a few
years ago Admiral Evans was sitting
{ at a table with local dignitaries In the
palm garden cafe Of the Palace hotel
at San Francisco when he observed
that two Of his jackies had been eject
ed on the ground that the cafe had a
positive rule against the admission OF
bluejackets in uniform. The admiral
called the men back, invited them to
sit at his table and said, Boys, what
will you have?" There they sat for
an hour, and nothing was too good for
them.
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Bonaparte Of the navy are Of one opin-
ion with Admiral Evans IN insisting
that the uniform Of the enlisted man
IN the navy must be respected Not
long ago the president contributed 500
out Of his own pocket to help pay the
costs In a suit brought by sailor for
damages on account OF being elected
from q public house. Fighting Bob
Is on the outlook for all such cases,
and his language Is plain when he
speaks Of them.
In fact though he talks and acts In
q way that is termed picturesque,
Fighting Bob" Is no swashbuckler, but
q plain. blunt man Of war.

A Tart Old Lady.

In Indiana a good many years
ago a certain old lady, summoned
as a witness, came into court wear
ing a large poke bonnet, such as
was then much affected by rural
folks. Her answers to the ques-
tons put to her being rather in
distinct, the court requested her to
speak louder, though without much
success.
"The court cannot hear a word
you say, my good woman" said the
Judge. "Please to take off that
huge bonnet of yours"
"Sir," she said compoSedly and
distinctly enough this time, "the
court has a perfect right to bid
a gentleman take off his hat, but it
has no right to make lady remove
her bonnet"
Madam" replied the judge, ''you
seem so well acquainted with the
law that L think you had better
come up and take a seat with us on
the bench"
81 thank your honor kindly" she
responded, dropping low courtesy
to the court, "but there are old
women enough there already. -

Coqitation.

The gentlemen of the bar, who
not infrequently have to take re.
Dukes from the bench, greatly enjoy
a chance to make legitimate retort
against the court. The story is told
that certain judge who during the
plea of rather prosy lawyer could
not refrain from gently nodding his
head in sleep was caught at this by
the lawyer, who looked significantly
at him.
perhaps" said the judge testify
and overwhelmingly "the counsel
thinks the court was asleep, but he
may be assured that the court was
merely cogitating."
The lawyer talked on. Presently
the judge, again overcome by his
somnolency, nodded off and aroused
himself with a little sudden snort
ing snore.
'1f it please your honor" said
the lawyer, 81 will suspend my plea
until the court shall have ceased to
cogitate audibly."
"You may go on" said the judge,
and he did not fall asleep again.

They Got Even,

The friends of detective at.

having a laugh at his expense
While riding on Broadway surface
car few nights ago he detected
two pickpockets at work and imme-
diately arrested them and started
for the station. A hanson was OBJ
tanned, and the three entered, the
detective in the middle. Some time
during the trip the "dips" managed
to get to the detectives pocketbook,
containing the greater part of his
months salary, and threw it out of
the window. The plain clothes man
did not discover his loss for some
time. He then went over the
ground the hanson had traversed,
but some one had already appropri-
ated the wallet.-New York Trib-

His Only Escape.

There is story often told to il
lustrate the manner in which Pres
ident Lincoln was besieged by com.
mission seekers. Hearing that q
brigadier general and his horse had
been captured and the general tax

about the horse.
"The horsep exclaimed his in

make a brigadier any day, but the
horse was valuable"
To this John Russell Young, in
his memoirs, adds a similar tale.
He was calling upon Lincoln one
day at the White House.

he remarked.
"Yes," replied the president. q

Corruption of Names.

The name of Applecross, the old
Ross-shire seat of the Mackenzies,
is a modern corruption of Abercro-
san, meaning ''at the mouth of the
Crosan," the little river which there
flows into the Atlantic. The names
of many places in Scotland have un-
dergone changes as curious and
confusing. The thousands of travel
ers who weekly alight at the fine sta
ton of st Enoch, in Glasgow Called
after the neighboring church), no
doubt identify the name in some
vague way with the patriarch
Enoch, mentioned in an early chap
ter of Genesis. 1t is really a cor
rupted form of st. Thenog, or The
nav, who was the mother of Kenti-
germ, Glasgow's first bishop and pa
tron saint and who is the subject
Of as quaint legend as any to be
found in medieval sacred history.

WAYS OF SAVING WASTE.
Swimming River For Living-Fishsr
men Who Net corks.

/
Swimming river for a living may
be said to be one of the most strik-
ing examples of the utilization of
waste. This is done in Paris. There
is one individual at least in the
French capital who makes it his
daily business to skim the Seine.
He is out at early morning in an
old fiat bottomed boat, armed with
a skimming pan. With this he
skins off the surface of the river
the grease which collects there dur
ing the night and which he disposes
of to soap factory. Generally he
makes a quarter or so by his morn
ing's work, which enables him to
live.
In Paris, says the Chicago Trib-
une, also there are a number of peo-
pie who make living out of waste
corks, which they fish from the
Seine They collect on the river
bank at daybreak, each with short
pole, at the end of which is small
net They set to work to gather in
the floatinO corks, subsequently sell
inc them to the cork merchants in
the neighborhood.
There are about a score or so of
these cork fishermen, who have
formed themselves into a sort of
craft and who guard their interests
jealousy. If they catch sight of a
stranger netting corks they fall on
him in a body. Only recently the
police rescued one of these novices
barely in time to save his life.
The sweepings of floor might
well be considered as so much waste.
Yet through a fire in London the
other day, which consumed a guam
titv of sweepings stored in the base
ment, a certain firm lost several
thousand dollars. The heap of dust
and rubbish contained silver filings,
which it was intended TO extract
later. on.
This is done regularly at all
works where silver or gold is used.
In gold refiners' premises even the
SCOT in the chimneys is not allowed
to be treated as waste. 1t is found
to contain minute particles of the
precious metal, which are far too
valuable to be lost.
In places where sheep are bred
extensively one frequently sees lit.
tie bits of wool adhering to briers
and hedges. These are no longer
as waste. From such wool
whether coming from sheep
Or goats, valuable oil is now ex-
tracted.

WOMEN OF HOLLAND.
Their Costumes Too Complex For
Words, Says a Feminine Writer.

The women's costume is a trife
too complex for verbal description,
as feminine belongings usually are,
says Florence Craig Albrecht in
Scribner's, but the white lace cap
which covers the head from eye
broys to nape of neck and from ear
to ear, curving out in rounded wings
on each side of her cheek, is always
a conspicuous and inevitable portion
of a woman's attire. 1t may posi-
bly, be that on Sunday this cap is a
trife whittier or sitter or daintier
than on week days, but the differ
ence is not very apparent.
The ladies assure us there is a
vast difference in the quality of the
net and the amount of handiwork
employed, but the lens made no
special note of that. In shape and
outline the camera finds great dis
tinction between these caps and
those of Katwyk or Marken or Bots
lie Due, but between Sunday and
Monday caps in Volendam it records
none whatever. For the rest of the
costume feminine Holland asks
above all things apparently a very
flat, narrow chest, surmounting
enormous hips, and Volendam is no
exception to this fashion rule.
The invariable black "best waist"
of the elder women is usually
frightened by a square yoke of
lighter color and material, and the
dark apron or overskirt is topped
by six inches or more of gay plaid
or bright colored band worn over an
underSkirt of dull blue striped or
black material and uncountable pet
ticoats.
About the throat a collar formed
of many rows of heavy dark red
coral beads is fastened by huge sill
yer clasps, and the number of rows,
the size and quality of the beads
are matters for feminine pride.
Long hair is not the only glory of
woman in Holland, save perhaps at
Marker. 1t is usually hidden and
at Volendam is cut quite close and
entirely covered by tight fitting
thick black silk cap concealed be-
meath the snowy white lace.
The younger sgirls, from the
tiniest fodder to the young meisje,
old enough to wed, wear dresses
and caps the exact counterpart Of
their grave mothers, no less full of
skirt or narrow of chest, but much
gayer in color. A group of tiny
maidens in stiff breeze on the dixie
resembles nothing more than
swarm of butterflies.

Don't Speak to Your Horse.

Caress must promptly reward
performance and the voice be never
used-the horse does not under
stand your words, and if you are
angry your tones will only further
discomfort him-while if you are
eternally talking to him you simply
render him careless and inattentive.
Caress the spot you have just ad-
dressed nor think that he under
stands a pat on the neck as reward
for something he has just done with
his hind quarters. Go direct to the
spot, and where two parts have been
addressed caress them both, as in
backing, the hind quarters and the
sides where the legs came, ETC.
and do the same thing in biting.
Do not pat the neck if you asked
him to yield his jaw. Don't re-
ward your daughter for your sons

s. TENDRILs.
Moving Parts Which Are :5ths 'aHrsIns
: Of Plant Life"

tNat
There are twosselasses of plants
which are melted BY mans presence
to describe .ceftains definite move
ments. One class, the sensitive
plants, retfact their leaflets as ws
| approach them, as if they resented
Fanny attemp@ at closer intimacy,
while. thfsether class, comprising all
those vines which develop climbing
organs called tendrils, will reach
out toward us if we place our hands
in contact with them and will even
use finger as support to climb
upon. We know that these tendrils
will wind just as readily about q
twig or a grass stem, but as one
feels these sensitive strands multi
ply their ehcircling coils about ones
fingers there almost seems to- be es-
tablished between us and the vege-
table world a more intimate rela~
tionship than has ever existed be-
fore.
Tendrils are indeed capable of
exhibiting faculties and going
through eyolutions more wonderful
perhaps than many of us realize.
1t is only after we have seen them
at work, testing with their sensitive
tips the objects they come in con-
tact with, apparently considering
their suitability as a support and
then accepting or rejecting them,
as the case may bet is only then
that we realize how justly they have
been called the "brains of plant
life"
The thoroughness with which
these wandering tips explore their
surroundings is illustrated by an in
stance / observed in a grapevine
tendril. A cherry branch whose
leaves had been variously punctured
and scalloped by insects hung near
the tendril, and a particular leaf
had just one small hole in its blade,
not over three-sixteenths Of an inch
in diameter. So careful had been
the exploration of the leafs surface
that this one small hole had been
by the tendril, which had
thrust itself nearly three inches
through the opening. - Harper's
