YOUNG SAMPSON FAILS.
Rear Admiraps Son Resigns from the
Naval Academy.

Annapolis, Feb. l7-B Because of fail.
IRE to pass his semi-annual examina-
tons, Harold B. Sampson, youngest son
Of the late Rear Admiral William r.
Sampson, has forwarded his resignation
to the navy department
The official announcement of his resig-
nation has not been made here. but it is
known that he is one OF the two mem
bers of the first class who were deficient
and whose designations win be accepted
There are 80 midshipmen in all who
will go, and 10 viii be returned back
to the next lower class.
Sampson has passed through three OF
the classes at the academy and spent
half of the period of his last year His
departure at so late a period is much
regretted. However the late Admiral
Sampson is not without descendants in
the navy. A son and grandson are
among the recent graduates OF the acad-
envy. Young Sampson, who has just
resigned, is too old for reappoiutment.
Another member of the first class who
was compelled to resign was Charles
B. Carroll OF Baltimore. q descendant OF
the noted Carroll family, one of whom
was Charles Carroll Of Carrolton,
signer of the declaration of independence.

She Got Even With the Tax Assessor
The United States is the only great
nation remaining which has not abol-
ished all personal property tax laws.
Mr.. A. J. Mock wages war on the sub
iect in a very interesting article in the
February American Magazine. Some Of
the anecdotes the author recounts to
illustrate his points are very amusing,
the following being an instance Of one
Of them:
"An Ohio school teacher had saved
81 900 from her earnings, and by advice
Of a banker friend, invested it in a
railroad bond paying per cent. When
the assessor came around, she was quite
proud to declare possession OF the bond;
She was a patriotic soul and willing
TO stand her share The local rate was
five and seyen-tenths per cent. She was
little startled at receiving a tax bill
for fifty-seven dollars, but confident that
il was mere blunder she went to the
tax office to have it corrected.
But to her amazement, she found
that the bill was correct-that she was
supposed to pay tax on her bond of
seven more dollars than the bond had
earned. She finally gathered her wits
together sufficiently to ask what on
earth was done with all the money.
Well for one thing, the assessor
said, urbanely, we have very expensive
public institutions, pointing through
the open window there is the poor
house, model of its kind and credit
to the county. We have to support
that.

The girl who breathes through her
mouth doubtless considers that she has
merely formed bad habit. She gives
it no more serious thought than TO
hope she does not snore!
But it is habit that if continued will

The digestive organs, the lungs, the

all bound to suffer from the effect OF
bad breathing. It is said that even

asks the girl who has passion for
reasoning, should so many ills result
from one poor little habit, bad though
il Isl?
Because to breathe properly is one
of the most important functions We
have to perform. If We fail in this then
the entire body suffers in consequence,
The whole of respiration is not con-
tanned in the mere taking of air in
to the lungs and then breathing it out
again.
Once the air reaches the lungs the
oxygen is distributed through their lin
ing and taken up by the blood, which
carries this life-giving food to every cell

Perhaps If census of persons who
are scribbling were taken it would be
found that half the educated people OF
the United States are trying to write
for the other half. If the careers of
authors of fiction are looked into 1t
will be found that those who have
achieved any enduring success nearly
all gained 1t under similar circum-
stances They began young, usually
In the employ Of some magazine or
newspaper. Many OF them became
readers of manuscripts submitted for
publication. In this atmosphere of
mingled literature and publication
they pass years occasionally trying to
do some work for themselves.
Melville 0strander at twenty-five,
having been graduated at college and
taken number of postgraduate
courses. determined to devote himself
to literature. combining himself to f1c-
ton. Possessing an income sufficient
TO support him. II was not essential
that he at once make money out Of his
profession. He reasoned that he was
in the same position as other profes.
sional men who must expect to wait
a reasonable time for an income.
There are persons, especially liter
airy persons, who claim that the high
est grade of fiction is that in which
there are no incidents. The characters
are expected to talk their way into the
interest of the readers. Ostrander first
fell under the influence of this school.
He wrote novels In admirable Eng
lish, in which his characters told their
own story--if they had any to tell,
which they had not--indirectly in con.
versations and by giving their own
thoughts. His novels were always re-
turned by the publishers as unavail-
able, except in one instance in which
tire work appeared with a sale Of only
a thousand copies-not enough to pay
the cost Of publication.
Ostrander, hearing that while the ret
respective novel was the highest form
OF literature-so considered by critics
If he wished to succeed pecunia lily
he must enter upon a more lively
school. Henceforth he made his char
acters love madly and go through fire
and water for one another After
writing a number of these stories
without success he became discour-
aged. Spring coming on about that
time, he concluded to go south for a
trip.
In Florida he met a middle aged
Iady-he had by this time arrived at
middle age himself-who had come to
the south to recuperate from over
work. Miss Easton was in the employ
of publishing house in New York.
in other words, she was one OF those
persons, already mentioned, who read

time trying TO turn an honest penny by
doing a little scribbling for themselves

thrown off in the expired air.
Since the nose is to the lungs what
the mouth is to the stomach, it is only
wise to acquire the habit OF taking sew
eral meals Of good fresh air every day.
Try breathing deeply and see how quick
~ you will feel the stimulation of it.
If dizziness or fatigue results from it,
practice it less vigorously until you can

hale slowly the fresh air; then with
equal slowness exhale it. Many peo-
pie do this too rapidly. The only truly
good result is obtained when it is done
with the utmost slowness. Surely
when one considers the improved looks
and better health that good breathing
brings to one this simple habit, so
pregnant with Importance to all of us,
seems worth acquiring.

DISCUSSED SEX EDUCATION.
Paper by President G. Stanley Hall at

Providence, r. l., Feb. 1.-THE moot
ed subject Of Sex Education was dis
cussed at length at yesterdays forenoon
session Of the Religious Education as-
ISOLATION convention in this city
by President O. Stanley Hall Of
Clark university, Worcester, Mass
Dr. Hall expressed the opinion that
the teaching OF sex should be given by
parents, if possible. especially by moth
ers TO daughters. Inasmuch as very few
parents are competent, in DR.. Halls
opinion, it is up to the teacher and
the clergyman il a large majority Of
cases to enlarge their function and fit
themselves to be guides Of the rising
generation" Sex should be taught he
said. briefly and concisely, some Of it

seizing opportunities and openings as
they arise in confessional way on the
basis Of relations of fripdship between
older and younger people, such As the
Big Brother movement affords by ad
visors and mentors, godfathers and
mothers or as lay and accessory parents.
Curiosity should be watched for as it
arises. and fed but not anticipated,
Young people should be told Of their

EXHAUSTED NERVES
Must Be Nourished Through
The Blood.
1t Is the Only Way in Which
Starved Nerves Can Be Fed
And Is Usually Successful
From the Start.

Nervous debility is the forerunner Of
nervous breakdown, perhaps the
warning sign OF paralysis.
The first thing TO do in nervous de-
bility is to stop the cause of the trouble,
if possible, whether it Is irregular liv-
ing, worry, or whatever it may be.
Then the nerves must be given special
nourishment and the blood must be
kept pure and rich. This is the mis-
sion OF DIR. Williams Pink Pills and this
iswhy the pills have been used with such
great success in nervous troubles that

There is absolutely no way Of reach

When practical man discovers that
he wants woman he begins at once
to find good and sufficient reasons why

IN thinking the matter over concluded
that Miss Easton would be a helpmeet
to him in more ways than one She
could be a reader for him. correcting
his manuscripts, making suggestions
here and there and giving him hints
In the practical or business part of his
profession.
So one day when they were sitting
among the palms and the flowers and
the other reminders OF spring he told
her that he would be glad to lift the
burden from her delicate shoulders to

money TO spend. not In travel for re-

where he would be able to draw from

there are certain fixed business rules

occur-are practically inexorable.
Soon after their return to the north
they were married. Mrs. 0strander
then told her husband that the pub

ACTION OF THE REICHSTAG
An Amendment to Alsace-LOrraine Con-

ACTION OF THE REICHSTAG

Berlin, Feb. 1.-THE committee Of the
Reichstag has further amended the gov
ernment's draft of the constitution pro-
posed for Alsace Lorraine by wholly
freeing the future state from the infue-
ence of the emperor. The commission
struck out the clause giving the en-
peror the exercise of executive author
ity and substituted provision for a
regent who would hold office for life
and be nominated by the emperor upon
the proposal Of the Bundesrath The
regent also would be removable only
by the Bundesrath. The vote on the
adoption Of the amendment was TWEEN
ty-one to six The action was taken in
spite Of the fact that such an amend
ment had been declared utterly unae-
ceptable by the government on consti-
tutional and political grounds. The gov
eminent has stated frankly its obiec
ton to regent who was neither re.
sponsible to nor under the influence OF
the emperor. The amendment was pro-
posed by the clerical representation Of
the commission and it is surmised that
they are coming on the support Of the
non Prussian element in the Bndesrath
to oyerrule the government.
Under the bill as originally proposed,
three delegates were to be sent from
Alsace- Lorraine to the Bundesrath.
With the emperor, who is also the king
Of Prussia. as the executive of the state,
these three would add to Prussia's al.
ready preponderate strength in the fed
eral council The amendment Of the
is designed to get around this
and the fact also explains the

A Song of Love and the Sea.

The dawn was flying from the night;
Swift as the wind she sped;
Her hair was like fleece Of light;
Her cheeks were warm and red.
All passion pale, the night pursued;
She fled away, away;
And in her garments, rainbow hued
She gained the peak Of day.
And then all shaken with alarms,
She leaped down from its crest:
Into the seats uplifted arms,
And swooned upon his breast.
