slauahtsrsd tho Anthem.

"When I went west first" said q
Unitarian minister, 81 was in small
town called L.. and In the choir Of
my church the village blacksmith did
noble work as baritone. He had q
voice that could shake mountains, and
whatever it lacked in any other fea-
ture it made up In volume. He
couldn't read music any more than he
could English, but he learned tune
very readily.
Zone Sunday we were to be favored
with new anthem because 1t was
special occasion, and the baritone had
one portion all to himself. Unfortu-
nately he had missed many of the
practices.
'The anthem went along excellent
~ until it came to beautiful part
which reads. And, DYING. bids us all
aspire
"Here the rest Of the singers stop
ped short in that quick, sudden way
that choirs have, and In the ensuing
stiffness sounded the ponderous tones
Of the blacksmith:

flre.' Boston Herald.

Empress Euaenie,s PlayfuIness.

Some years ago the Empress Eugene
was a capital hand at willing away
her own and other peoples time when
residing at obscure watering places
where the accustomed resources of
royal gayety were at fault. One game
which she invented and which gave
much delight was this: A costly Jewel
was placed upon saucer and covered
with an inverted teacup. A lady then
tossed them to a gentleman seated on
the opposite side of the room, and II
he caught the flying utensils with such
a steady hand that the jewel was not
displaced from under the cup the gem
became the property Of the lady. OF
course the gallant who was to "catch"
felt an intense solicitude, inasmuch as
the prize for the lady which his adroit-
ness might gain or his awkwardness
lose had value which rendered its
possession exceedingly desirable and
made it's loss acutely felt. It is said
that the emperor was the best catch
er" Of them all, and when he was pres.
emit the game was played with an en-
thusiasm which would rival that Of a
thickly populated nursery.

To a Higher Table.

John Barrett, chief ct the bureau Of
American republics, after various 9TH
er experiments In diplomacy, came to
Washington from Oregon during Pres
ident Cleveland's second term to get
anything he could. he brought a
bunch Of Oregon boomers with him,
and for time they stayed at the best
hotels. The job was slow in coming,
and they went from cheaper place to
cheaper place, like Mark Twain's Office
seeker, until they were forced to eat
at one Of the lunch places on Penn
sylvania avenue. One night while they
were at dinner word came that Presi-
dent Cleveland had decided to appoint
Barrett minister to Siam. Barrett rose
from the table and put on his coat.
'Hold on, JohnT cried one of his
companions In misfortune. ''Where
are you going? Aren't you going to
finish your dinnerY
Gentlemen" said Barrett as he
stalked out, "this is no place for the
minister to Siam to dine. Saturday

Wonderfully Good Siaht.

The Duchess of X. once went to
Greenwich to see the marvels of the

and for the fair duchess benefit the
great telescope was duly leveled at the
dazzling field of stars.

"About six or seven light years, your

'What is light Year,"
Merely an expression which one
uses to convey an idea Of the distance
which light travels in year. Rough
ly speaking, light travels at the rate
Of 10000 miles in second, and there
are about 81, OOO,536 seconds in year.
In one year, therefore, light travels
above 500, S40, OOO, 600 miles. The ex-
preston light year includes these fig

"And is that star all those millions
Of miles away?"
Eyes, your grace, as nearly as we
can calculate"
"Then all I can say" remarked the
duchess, lis that you must have won.

WARsHIPs AT NIGHT.

From the First Call at Shutdown TO
the MournfuI Taps.
The routine Of life on battleship
at night will interest boys who have
nautical bent.
The first call" is sounded five min.
utes before shutdown, when the ensign
and the jack halyards are manned and
a stay light made ready for hofsting to
Indicate the ships whereabouts during
the night Then the color call follows
at shutdown as the flag Is lowered and
saluted by all as it reaches the deck.
The assembly is then sounded for
evening quarters and muster, but there
Is no drill
AS a rule, it is just after sunset
when the bugle call Is sounded to
"Stand by hammocks." That brings all
the crew on deck, and they stand In
silence close out to the ships side be-
side the hammock MEETINGS, in two
ranks facing the stern, until the boat
SWANS mate reports to the officer of
the deck, "All up and aft" The latter
then orders, Uncover; pipe DOWN.
and in obedience to this order and the
boatswain's whistle the MEETINGS are
thrown open, and the hammocks are
served out and taken below to their
proper places. Each hammock has
printed on it a number, and that same
number is on the hooks below decks
where the hammock has to be swung,
80 that each man sleeps In the same
place every night, and that place is
called his billet"
Unless boat is called away there
will be no more bugle calls until FIVE
minutes Of 8 O'clock. The period is one
Of complete relaxation and is spent by
the sailors in smoking, spinning yarns,
singing, playing on musical instruments
and dancing. At five minutes Of 8 the
first call is again sounded as a warn
ing to the crew to prepare to turn into
their hammocks and go to sleep. Then
at 8 o'clock comes the call known as
Tattoo"
This tattoo is the survival of an old
custom. In the ''old navy it used to
last fifteen minutes and was performed
with drum and fife, playing all manner
Of airs and quicksteps according to the
fancy or ingenuity Of the drummer and
the fifer. 1t is even said to have been
handed down from period Of super
stition. when they used to make hull
labaloo after dark to drive the devils
out Of the ship. At the last note Of
tattoo the ships bell Is struck twice for
8 O'clock, and the boatswain's whistle
sounds "Pipe down." Every man must
then turn into his hammock, whether
he IL sleepy or not, for an inspection is
made BY the master at arms to zee
that all have done so. Then sounds
that last long, mournful call, FLAPS" -

Vertebrate Propeller Likely 10 Make II
a Reality, Say Experts.
That the mile minute boat NAV
soon be a reality was the opinion ex-
pressed recently by party of ex-
perts, including naval engineers aud
yachtsmen, who had private view
and saw practical demonstration of
Joseph Turner's invention. the verte-
brate propeller. at Is Fulton street.
New York.
Set in motion by belt gear and driv-.
en- by four piston rods which pass
through the stuffing boxes in the bot
tom Of the boat and are connected to
its hinges, the triple horizontal plates
which form the propeller worked up
and down with the sinuous action Of a
fish, says the New York Herald. The
device is SO unlike anything presented
before for propelling vessel and its
merits seemed SO apparent that the
spectators predicted the propeller and
Its inventor would speedily become
subjects for serious consideration by
all interested in marine or aerial pro
pulsion, for Mr.. Turner intends to ap-
ply bis system to aerial navigation.
Captain Reynold T. Hall, U. s. N.
chief Of the steam engineering depart
ment at the Brooklyn navy yard. who
was one Of the spectators. said Of the
propeller afterward:
ut looks we'll and it works we'll and
Is an invention that it seems to me
well warrants trial In the water. 1T
has lifting as well as propelling mo-
ton, and 1t has this advantage over
the screw propeller that the surface
on both sides OF each blade, or plate,
is efficient for propulsion, while in the
screw propeller only the front surface
is efficient"
Commander Emil Thesis Of the same
department at the navy yard said:
''This is certainly an interesting in
vention, and It looks promising The
principle is a good one, and It may
revolutionize all theories Of propul-
sion"

Corn Huskina Trust.

The example set In other sections of
Iowa has been followed In Blackhawk
county, where the farmer boys have
formed corn husking trust, and 8
cents bushel will be paid this year
by all owners in order to get their
crops gathered unless outside help Is
imported, says Fort Dodge Qa.) cor
respondent Of the st. Paul Pioneer
Press. Meetings have been held at
country schoolhouses, and the young
farmers are well organized. The move
ment is general through the county.
Fully 200 members have pledged them
selves not to husk bushel for less
than 3 cents. Heretofore to 21a cents
has been the prevailing price. They
hold that It is impossible to make a
good wage at the old rate and back
their statements regarding the raise In
price with the laconic answer, well,
It's worth it."
