ALDEN'S NAPLES STORY.
A Glass Of Capri Wine and a Statue
That Nodded.

a Glass Of Capri Wine and a Statue
That Nodded.
The late W. L. Alden, the humorist,
was n of the most abstemious of
men-in fact, he was pretty near be-
ing a teetotaler. don't know that l
ever saw him take wine or spirits in
all the years l knew him except a
glass Of claret at the midday and even
ing meals during his last illness.
During the later years Of his life he
spent the winter abroad, sometimes in
Genoa, sometimes in Naples and once,
l think, in Cairo, and usually his four
or five months residence on the shores
OF the Mediterranean would not cost
him more than ESQ.
Once on his return from Naples l
remember his telling me this story:
H., a brother novelist, was in Ma
pies also and asked me one night to
dine with him at one Of the big hotels
on the water front just outside Ma
ples-one Of those hotels along that
massive stone e~mbankment against
which the wave Of the sea often
break in showers Of spray thirty or
forty feet high.
After dinner we went for a walk
along the embankment, and we got
pretty well drenched with the spray.
Soon we reached a statue, and, 10, it
nodded gravely toward us!
Ibid you see that statue nod?' said
L. to me.
"I certainly did, said l..
"'Well,' said he, Pm going back to
the hotel and to bed before l get run
in. It's that COMPOUNDED Capri wine.'
$50, ashamed of ourselves, back we
went and sneaked up to bed. But at
breakfast table next morning both Of
Us seemed to be amazingly fresh con-
sidering our dissipation Of the night
before, and we could not understand
why We had such good appetites until
the waiter said:
"'Did the gentlemen feel last

OCEAN TRAVEL.
Luxury That Greets the Passengers on
an Atlantic Liner.

Luxury That Greets the Passengers o,
an Atlantic Liner.
The luxury Of ocean travel ha.
reached such a state Of perfection tina,
lane bred and timid passengers MAJ
almost delude themselves into think.
Ing that they are still on shore when
they are In the middle of the ocean.
When the luncheon bugle sounds you
60 in to tidy your hair. The sun is
shining in through your window or al
least n Of the windows, for there
are two in your drawing room, one in
the bathroom and n in the bedroom
beyond. Your drawing room-which
might be in the Winter palace, Nice,
Tor all the resemblance It bears to a
ships cabin-is furnished In old gold
and white. A soft carpet Of old gold,
a sofa piled luxuriantly with cushions,
several chairs, a table, a wonderfully
equipped desk. on which rests a drop
light, are at your disposal. You stop a
moment to admire the panels and
etchings and the hangings, which are
embroidered with dropping wistaria in
faint green. An electric crate fire,
with a genuine mantel, lends an air Of
spaclOusness to the room. You notice
that your gowns have been hung in
one closet and your blouses in another
and that shoes, slippers. umbrella, etc..
have been carefully slowed away in
places provided for them.
The third day out, If the weather is
fine, is the social height Of the trip.
The ships types are by this time oil
fully developed. The bridge fiends
have become known to each other, and
they never leave their game except for
meals. There is the usual contingent
that each morning comes around to
tell you how early they were on deck.
You have stood at the PROV and
watched the schools Of dolphins jump
ing straight for the ship, you have
rushed excitedly to the rail to watch a
passing steamer with which your yes
sci exchanges salutes by running up
innumerable little flags, and you have
marveled at the land birds that al
ways follow the ship across, and per-
haps you ask the steward to set out
some fresh water and a plate of
crumbs for them.
If you enjoy spontaneous vaudeville
the hour in the ships gymnasium will
be your regular rendezvous every
morning, and aside from the fun which
you will have in watching the others
perform unaccustomed stunts on the
frisky camel, the spirited horse or with
the vibrators you will receive direct
benefit from the exercises, which are
the best thing to be recommended for
the maintenance of sea legs.-Harriet
Quimby in Leslie's Weekly.

giver was DR.. Manini Of Naples, who

said that whenever the general looked
at it 1t would brace him up for the last

medal is preserved by the generals

pursuit Of the many animals generally
freQuenting the hot plains and rocky
hills.
The hippopotamus is practically an
aquatic animal, though a mammal.
and MI. Roosevelt can leave his expe-
dition to pursue lions, elephants or
antelopes temporarily while he en-
barks on a boat or canoe and voyages
through the haunts Of the hippo. But
most hippo hunting is done from shore
along the banks because of the in
creased danger resulting to the sports
men from the use Of boats. Hippos
have a long list of victories wei river
and lake craft of many sizes and de-
scriptions. attacking them with feroci-
ty and effectiveness that stout timbers
have failed to withstand.
The dangerous disposition Of the
East African hippos when assailed or
angered is we'll illustrated by the &C.
counts of their sensational assaults on
railway locomotives on the line ex-
tending from Mombasa to Lake VIC
tor1a Nyanza. Engineers and railroad
officials relate that hippos are stirred
to towering rage by the snorting, puff
ing, whistling, fire glowing engines
and that repeatedly they have come
on the tracks near the Athi river sta
lion and charged boldly at the head
light. Only quick work Of the en-
gineer in stopping the train has avert
ed serious accident. as a collision with
a hippo would surely result in wreck
ed cars. His weight is as great as
four tons and over, his thick skin
alone sometimes tipping the scales at
over 500 pounds when freshly remov-
ed. Sometimes about fifteen feet in
length and standing from three to
four feet high at the shoulder (of

head, the hippo is an obstacle that an
