medicinal preparations offered for sale

public. Honesty in business, however, Is
not readily Invisible into classes. The
leaven of sincerity must permeate the en-

that honesty and truthfulness are indis-

4 SYSTEM OF GUN POINTING.
Science of Controlling Fire Adopted by
American Navy Was Learned From
England.

As far back as 1866 the navy depart
ment had issued large volume on
Target Practice laying down a system
of training and Rules of Fire, whose
principles were essentially those OF
today. And the telescope sight-the
very keystone of modern gunnery, In
vented by Lieut.. (now Rear AdmiraD
Bradley A. Fiske-was tried out on
the Yorktown as early as 1892. Now
these and many other ideas were
taken up in earnest The most inn
portant change of all came, it is de-
clared, from the cousins across the
water, who gave us the first impetus
toward navy.
Admiral Sir Percy Scott of the Eng
lish navy worked out years ago the
sporting" system of controlling gun
firing; a pointer at each gun. who
keeps his sight on the target and a
fire control officer who sounds a buzz
ger at each gun, whereupon the point
er fires-and the officer spots the
shots and changes the range as re-
quired. Admiral Scott, while on the
China system, impaired this system
to an American officer. an old friend
and this American, Capt. w. S, Sims
set himself in 1901 to focus the new
movement in our navy

Tennyson as sloyenly in any real
sense. He was a singularly noble
looking man, but he did not care a

Famous Men Who Were Stevens.

1t is surprising how careless of
their outer appearance many famous
men have been. 1t is said of turner,
the great landscape painter, that his
hands were the smallest and dirtiest
on record" Perhaps that is an ex-
aggeration, but he was certainly very
slovenly in his dress He wore
black swallowtail dress coat, very
much in need of a clothes brush Wig
orously used, and in the warmest as
well as in the coolest of weather he
wore round his throat a sort of wrap
or muffier, which he would unloose,
letting the ends dangle down in front
and dip into the colors of his palette.
He ALWAYS worked either with his old
hat on his head or with the same large
muller over his head. His appear
anee was more that of an old-time
eoachman than a famous royal
academician, for he was short and
stout with red and blotchy face.
DIR. Johnsons slovenliness has al
most passed into proverb. There
are many contemporary accounts of
his turning out of his house in Bolt
court with his wig back to front and
his stockings down. When Boswell
visited him at / Inner lane, he re-
cords: His brown suit of clothes
looked very rusty; he had on little,
old shrivelled, unpowdered wig, which
was too small for his head; his shirt
neck and the knees of his hreeches
were loose, his black worsted stock
ings ill., rawn-u and by way of slip
pers he had on a pair of unbuckled
shoes" When it is added that this
great man was constantly stwitching,
granting. shaking his head, putting
his cheeks and blinking his eyes, it
must be admitted that his appearance
was not only uncouth. but grotesque.
Thomas Carlyle, coming of peas
ant race, never eonformed TO society
earb. He was always the inspired
peasant. He would sometimes go out
in his old dressing gown. over which
he buttoned a big coat, gray with age.
When he was left alone in the house
he delighted in swilling his fiagstones
with pals of water, and many a dis
tinguished friends found him thus en-
gagged, with a kind of smock on and
his bushy hair tousled. He went
about all the summer among the high
est aristocracy in frieze jacket which
was part of an old dressing gown.
All the cabmen and bus drivers Ches-
ley way knew him. One said He
may wear a queer at. but what would
yer give for the 'eadpiece inside of it ?"

of seven to eight miles (almest double

gunners expect to reach their mark
with one out of every three shots and
we have such records as that &C the
12-inch guns in one of the South Car

Proposed Chinese Tax on Real Estate

A new system of taxation affecting
real estate is being discussed by the
Chinese administration and there is
every probability that the scheme will
be approved and put into operation.
The proposed tax affects only land oc-
cupied by buildings. Any piece of
property with an assessed value OF less
than $50 is exempted. Property val
ued from $50 to $3.50 pays one-half of
one per cent from $3.50 to $500, seven
tenths of one per cent, and everything
above $500. one per cent.
