DYING WITH A SMILE.

New York World: AS details Of the
loss of the transport Antilles are re-
ceived, Americans must feel and ex-
press a melancholy pride in the be-
havior Of their sailors and soldiers
face to face with death. There was
no warning of the torpedo's approach
and no sign before or after the ex-
plosion of the presence Of subma-
rine. Although the ship was split In
two and sank in few minutes, there
was no panic. The sick were removed
first in good order and others followed
with perfect discipline until at length
all who remained were compelled to
leap from the disappearing wreck.
Even in the water, the sport of turb-
ulent sea, men were helpful, self sacri-
ficing and in some cases jovial, and
the last that was heard from more
than one victim was a jest. Such for
titude in the fury of fighting, where
everybody has chance at least as
good as another's, is common enough,
but we do not find it always among
the most heroic people in hopeless sit
uations. A nation whose representa-
tives retain to the last, in the pres
ence of certain fate, not only their
self possession and humanity, but
their sense of humor, will one of these
days make it's indelible impression
upon the battle line.

INDIANS USE A GRABHooK
Have Unique Outfit Which They Use
In elshIn0' Tor saImon-Po'es
Are Twenty Feet Long.

The Indians fish for salmon with a
"grab-hook," a large iron hook fas-
tened to pole by loose cord three
or four feet long. A hole at the blunt
end Of the hook that slips over the
tip of the pole keeps it in place until
the fish is hooked. Then the hook Is
pulled off the pole and the cord gives
the fisherman q chance to play his
fish If necessary before dragging it
ashore, says the Southern Workman.
The hooks are made by the black
smith, but the poles, about 20 feet IN
length, the Indians make them
selves of red fir. Taking a rough
piece of dry wood Of the required
length, they patiently work at it with
drawshave and knife until 1t Is the
right size and tapering to suit the
workman. Then it is usually hard
ened in the Goals before putting on the
cord, which they braid themselves.
II q pole breaks, as often hap
pens, the broken parts are dashed
together with string, pitch is smeared
over and melted by being rubbed with
hot stone, which makes the pole as
strong as before. The Indians gen.
orally fish from the bank or from
platforms built over the water. They
thrust the long pole out across the
river as far as they can and let the
current carry it down and into the
bank, trusting to chance and a quick
Jerk IN hook the fish If they feel one

GRANT STATUE NEGLECTED.

During the confederate jubilee in
Washington in the early part Of the
summer, when the veterans of the
south gathered for their annual reun-
ion, Congressman David A. Hollings-
worth of Ohio, former union soldier,
was moved to have inserted in the
Congressional Record poem on Cen
eral Grant in order that the memory
of the man who granted such gener-
Gus terms to the defeated confederate
army at AppomattoX might not be ig-
nored entirely while the praises of his
former adversaries were being sung.
Representative Hollingsworth cannot
repress feeling of evaporation at
the continued neglected condition of
the statue of General Grant in front
OF the capitol. Begun in the latter
part of the last republican administra-
ton. it has been allowed by the demo-
Gratis to remain with scarcely an ad-
ded touch.

Discipline.

There Is not that thing in the world
of more grave and urgent Importance,
throughout the life OF man. than Is
discipline. What need instance? He
that hath read with judgment of ma
lions and commonwealth, Of cities
and camps, of peace and war, sea and
land, will readily agree that the flour
ishing and decaying Of all civil sacie-
ties, all the movements and turnings
of human OCCASIONS, are moved to aud
fro as on the axle OF discipline. so
that whatsoever power and sway In
mortal things weaker men have attriD-
uted to fortune, I burst with more
confidence ascribe either to the vigor
or, the slackness of discipline. And
certainly discipline is not only the re-
moyal of disorder but the very
visible shape and image Of virtue;
whereby she is not only seen In
the regular gestures and motions Of
her heavenly PAGES rs she walks. but
also makes the harmony Of her voice
audible to mortal ears.-Milton.

Luck Was with Him.

In Gold Hill, New, in 1877, one Of
the mining bosses-Tole by name-had
trouble with some of the laborers in
his mine. One night three Of them at
tackled him in a barro0m. Two OF
them pinned him down, while a third
stood over him with revolver. The
Euzzle almost touched his stomach.
Once, twice, thrice, fourth and a
fifth time the weapon snapped. Tole
closed his eyes. Each moment he ex-
pected to be his last. The disguised
ruftian threw his disappointing weapon
ON the floor with an oath and, Joined
by his aids, left the place.
Tole wiped the cold sweat from his
brow, mechanically picked up the dis
carded weapon, went to the door and
fired off every charge. remarking that
1t was just his luck.

Where coeonuts Grow.

Coconuts are one of the largest
money.making crops of the Philippine
islands. While they will grow In al
most any province, there are localities
that are especially known for their
great nut production. There was until
recently no system for planting these
trees, as plantations were usually sold
after the trees were two or three years
old. The object was to get as many
trees on a given area as was possible
to grow. These plantations were then
sold for so much tree. When 1t was
seen that the trees would not bear the
quality of fruit they should, more
pains were taken in the planting and
some definite planting scheme adhered
to. This has greatly increased the size
of the nut and the quality Of the meat.
