According TO Dewey, Admiral Farra-
gut Was BY No Means a Strict
Disclpilnarian.

Admiral Farragut's methods were al
ways simple. There was a saying that
his principal place for filing papers
was his coat pocket. Generally he
wrote his orders himself, perhaps with
his knee or the ships rail as rest.
Admiral Dewey in his autobiography
recalls that one day when Farragut
was writing he looked up and said:
"Now, how in the devil do you spell
Appalachicolaf Some of these edu-
Gated young fellows from Annapolis
must know. Dewey adds: "A man
who had such an important command
could hardly have been more demo
cratic. One night / had given orders
for thorough cleaning of the ship the
next morning. / was awake early, for
It was sitting hot. Five o'clock came

looked around for the officer of the
deck. He was an old New England
whaler, brown as a buccaneer, who
had enlisted for the war from the mer-

small gold rings In his ears, custom

chant sailors who had travelled the
world over. found him seated up in
the hammock netting where 1t was

Farragut with his pleasant smile. We

Farragut when Farragut wanted to

Now it is reasonably difficult for the

open-Handed Generosity OF American
PIutocrats Is Something to
Marvel At.

A cable dispatch the past week an
nounced, with quite a flourish of
trumpets, that the money value of the
magnificent display Of gifts at the we'd
ding of the royal Prince Arthur of
Connaught and the Duchess of Fife
was estimated at no less a sum than
$750,000. The number and generosity
of the donors are reported to have oc-
casioned great wagging of tongues
and general lifting of eyebrows in
the assembled ranks Of royalty. On
the same day there was recorded q
wedding at Baltimore on which occa-
sion the father of the groom, Mr..
Henry Clay Prick, presented to the
bride his check for 100000, while
the fortunate groom received from his
father securities valued at 10000 900.
No mention was made of other gifts,
which were presumably numerous and
costly. to use the familiar phrase. Com
paratively speaking, how meager and
unimposing are the evidences Of the
esteem Of European potentates and
princes when contrasted with the to-
kens of the open-handed generosity of
our American plutocracy nowadays!

No Other Names for Parents Carry
the Same Deep Meaning Of
ReVerent Love.

Father" and mother" are difficult
words to improve upon when one
thinks of the associations they convey,
and the dignity OF their meaning. re-
marks London Answers.
Many. however, have been the off
shoots of these applications. Papa"
and mamma" have been in use in
England for at least three centuries,
and 1t is generally accepted that they
are Of Italian origin, as Dante uses
the word mamma" in the Purgatorio.
Among middle class folk dad" or
daddy" is a favorite nickname. Dad"
Is Of pure Welsh extraction, and is de-
rived from. or is a corruption of, the
word tad"
"Pater" and mater" make their ap-
pearance when students are in the
throes of Latin grammar. "Poppa''
and "momma" have appealed to the
young American.
None Of these nicknames, or terms
of endearment. can, however, approach
the beautiful Anglo-Saxon definition of
parents-"father" and mother" and 1t

The recent scientific baby contests
in New York and elsewhere disclosed
the interesting fact that the prize
winners usually belonged to very poor
parents who had broken every law
of eugenics, of heredity, and of by
giene. Now comes a similar report
from Japan. The children of the pri-
mary schools in Tokyo have been med
ically examined with the result that
the babies from the middle and lower
elements of the population were Of
superior development to the others.
Thus do we find a further example
of the constant war between theory
and fact. 1t is the eugenically paired
couples who hate each other with a
fervor unusual even in the married
state, and it is the hygienic and germ
proof babies who are so loved by the
gods that they die young.

Jewel In a Serpent's Head.
We none of US place much credence
in Shakespeare's toad, which

Ugly and venomous,
Wears yet precious jewel in its head.
But the natives Of India have a firm
belief that a certain variety of snake
which they call shesh nag, forms pre-
cious stone within it's head after it has
attained the ripe old age Of 1000 years.
This jewel has the reputation of draw
ing forth the most deadly venom of
any other snakebite, if applied at once
to the wound. A certain Parsee gen.
tleman is supposed to possess one Of
these jewels at the present time.
This gentleman In his early man
hood happened upon a snake, which
he killed. Afterward he found the
jewel in its head, and he is said with
its aid to have saved several lives.
The stone is said to possess thin
crescent-shaped fiber which moves in
the center continuously. Many of the
native princes Of India have offered
fabulous sums for this jewel, but the
owner refuses to part with 1t.
