The Saruasso Sea.

In the middle of the North Atlantic
there is an area of comparatively still
water almost equal to continental EU-
rope in extent and more or less COW
cred with floating seaweed. 1t was
known as the Mar de SaTgaco to Co
lumbus and the early navigators and
is the SaTgasso sea of modern
geOgTaphers.
The floating seaweed was formerly
supposed to have grown near the Ba-
hama and Florida shores, and to have
drifted to its present position. It is
now, however, known to grow and
propagate itself where it is found In
1t are found globular masses of weed
containing fish eggs and known as fish
nests.
Recent Investigations show that the
floating weed of the SaLgasso sea is
the chosen breeding place of species
of flying fish.-Field

DAME FORTUNE WAS SULLEN.
Man Had Grateful Remembrance OF
Service, but Was Unable to
Repay II.

when I was a farmer in Illinois, 3"
says a representative in congress,
there came TO me one day an inter
esting looking individual, whose face,
though he was a stranger in those
parts, seemed oddly familiar to me.
THE man had stopped to water his
horse. As he waited, he said: About
ten years ago poor boy came this
way and you took him in
81 gazed at the speaker, puzzled.
"'Your kindness to that poor boy
was most exceptional continued the
stranger. You fed him, encouraged
him, gave him clothes and two dollars
and sent him on his way feeling pret-
ty fine. He observed at the time he
would never forget your generosity.
Do you remember?
Not precisely replied, but 1 had
q vague remembrance of the occur

He Would Resign.

The story is told of an English
army examiner who once had before
him stupid candidate. The candi

aminer finally grew most impatient
and in a burst of sarcasm demanded
Let It be supposed, sir, that you
were a captain in command of in

passable abyss; that on both sides OF
you there rose perpendicular rocks oi
tremendous height; that in front oi
you lay the enemy outnumbering you
ten to one. What, sir, in such an
emergency would you do?" "Sir," re
sponded the applicant for military dis

Personality In Politics.

In life, in literature, there is no
magic charm like that of personality,
but politicians are afraid of it in their
business. OF this they sedulously eul-
innate the idea that it must be con
Quoted by committees and parties,
never by indiVidualities. Everything
is collective, nothing personal. In
trigue and subterranean management
are the prime forces, and the old prac-
titiozers Of the art are always aghast
when some man of native vigor comes
forward with open methods and direct
appeals.

IS NOT A MILITARY EMBLEM.
Fashion Of Wearing Cockade origin
ated In Strings That Served
Useful Purpose.

The cockade originated simply in
the knot of ribbons or strings by
which the broad flaps of the seven
teenth century round hat were
cooked" or drawn up to the brim in
fine weather, and thus originated the
thTee-cOrnered hat, as well as the
cooked hat of later times. There was
nothing specially military about the
usage, as the ignorant assert. The
same strings survive in the loops of
the hats of bishops and other ecClesi-
astical dignitaries in Great Britain;
in the strings of the hats worn by
French cures and Spanish and italian
padres and in the cords which are still
seen on the hats of some livery ser
wants.
1t naturally became the custom for
military men to "cock" their hats with
the livery color of the prince they
served, and as the HanoYerian color
was the convenient one of black, the
black cockade" became associated in
the minds of the people with military
uniform. In an old Scotch song OF
Shiramuir, citing Woodward's herald
~, we read of ''the red coat lads with
black cockades," and a knot Of white
ribbons was naturally chosen as the
badge of their opponents. When the
old use of the strings was forgotten,
the knot, in the form of a rosette of
ribbon, survived, just as did the but
tons on the backs of our coats, which
were intended to fasten back the flaps
in riding or marching.-"Justice of the
