ALL AT SEA.

He was tall, angular individual,
who had strayed up Michigan avenue
from the Park Row station.
Taking in the sights on the boule-
5ard, a sign announcing Richard
Carle in 'SThe Doll Girl" caught his
eye.
Strolling toward the ticket Office,
he bought a ticket in the Studebak-
er's gallery for so cents. The ticket
man had forgotten all about the
stranger, when at nine o'clock he
reappeared at the box Office and said /:
''Say, young feller, when does this
show start? ?"
"Why, it started an hour ago."
"Well," replied the wanderer,
"why don't you let that stairway
down, SO that can get up there?'
The stranger had been standing
under the fire escape waiting for the
sectional stairway to be let down.

WORTH KNOWING.

The militia law provides: "That
the militia shall consist of every
able-bodied male citizen of the re-
spectiye states and every
able-bodied male Of foreign birth
who has declared his intention to be-
come a citizen, who is more than
eighteen and less than forty-fve
years Of age, and shall be divided
into two classes-the organized mi
litia, to be known as the National
Guard the remainder TO be
known as the reserve militia" The
organized militia number 122, ,377
men, the reserve militia somewhat
over 100000 men.

FAD HAS SOME DRAWBACKS
Engagement Tooth" That Threatens
to Become Popular, May Not Be
the Success Looked For.

Speaking of fads, there's that
newest one in New York-the en-
gagement tooth, you know. An en-
gagged girl started it by having
small diamond placed in a gold set
ting placed as crown to one of her
front teeth-all to be paid for by
her prospective husband. By and by
we may distinguish the engaged girl
by her glittering tooth-and the
married woman by two of the same.
But it is ruled that for each engage
ment and each marriage a tooth
must be decorated, dentists will be
overworked and some women won't
have teeth enough to go around
that is, they won't unless there is a
falling off in the divorce line of ac-
tivity. Of course the new idea is
freakish. But it's worse. Because
when you see a girl who has no dia-
monds in her smile you'll know at
once that she never has been en-
gagged. AT present when finger rings
are used it is easy for a girl to smile
knowingly. But with the evidence
tackled to her teeth every smile will
be revelation, won't it?

AMERICAN FRIeATe's RECORD.

One hundred years ago the United
States frigate Congress, in command
of Capt. John Smith, returned to
Portsmouth, N. H., after a seven
months cruise in search of British
prizes. The cruise had been a most
successful and profitable one. Three
weeks after putting to sea the Con-
gress captured British brig of ten
guns, and with her a cargo of IA
tons Of copper. Two days later she
fell in with and captured another
British brig with large cargo of
hides and tallow. The most valuable
prize of all, however, fell to the Con-
gress on October 25, when she cap
tured the British ship Rose, laden
with wine and potatoes. After put
ting 5000 gallons of wine into the
water casks Of the Congress and fill
ing her hold with many tons of pota-
toes, Captain Smith destroyed his
prize, after transferring her officer
and crew aboard his own ship.

Homes Of $4,000 Persons Are Float
Ing on Rivers and Canals In
That Country.

Inland navigation on the water
highways Of France is much more
important than one might suppose
from the situation Of the streams. A
census taken in 1912 brought to
light the fact that there we're IS, ,141
boats Of three tons and over, capable
of carrying over 4,O00,000 tons. As
regards capacity, rs per cent. can
carry more than 800 tons; 13 per
cent, 200 to to 800 tons; per cent,
100 to 200 tons, and 4 per cent, 3
to 100 tons.
OF the boats in use, 1,700 were OF
iron. These were encountered chiefly
on the Seine, the canals of Paris and
the Marne, and in the neighborhood
of the Rhine.
There is an interesting interna-
tional phase Of this humble, but by
no means unimportant, branch of
French navigation, due to the con-
nection between the waterways of
France and those of neighboring
countries. Among the boats covered
by the census SO per cent. were
French, IA per cent, Belgian and 8
per cent. German. The Belgian |
boats, having an average capacity of |
317 tons, are seen on almost all the
waterways of the northern, eastern
md central regions of France, bu'
'hieAy in the frontier departments.
