THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28,1907. ! WARSHIPS AT NIGHT. ! i j From the First Call at Sundown to the Mournful Taps. The routine of life ou a battleship j ut night will interest hoys who have a nautical bent. The "tlrst call" is sounded five miu- | utes before sundown, when the ensign j and the Jack halyards are manned and i stay light made ready for hoisting to ndieate the ship's whereabouts during .lie night. Then the color call follows at sundown as the flag Is lowered and saluted by all as It reaches the deck. The assembly is then sounded for ! evening quarters and muster, bufcthare is no drill. | As a rule, it is just after sunset , when the bugle call Is sounded to "Stand by hammocks." That brings all the crew on deck, and they stand in silence close out to the ship's side be- ; side the hammock uettings, in two ranks facing the stern, until boat swain's mate reports to the officer of the deck, "All up and aft." The latter , then orders, "Uncover; pipe down:" j and in obedience to this order and the boatswain's whistle the nettings are thrown open and the hammocks are served out and taken below to their , proper places. Each hammock has pointed on it a number, and that same ■ number is ou the books below decks ; where the hammock has to be swung, ! ! so that each man sleeps In the same ; i place every night, and that place is ! called his "billot" Unless a boiit is called away there | w ill lie no more bugle calls until five minutes of 0 o'clock. The period is one j of complete relaxation and is spent by j the sailors in smoking, spinning yarus. 1 singing, playing ou musical instruments and dancing At five minutes of 9 the j fust call is again soumled as a warn- | ing to the crew to prepare to turn into j their hammocks and go to sleep. Then | at l> o'clock comes the call known as ' "Tattoo." This tattoo is the survival of an old i custom. In the "old navy" it used to last fifteen minutes and was performed ' with drum and fil'e. playing all manner of airs ami quicksteps according to the fancy or ingenuity of the drummer and ' j the fifer. It is even said to have been 1 handed down from a period of super- j stltion, when they used to make a hul- ' labaloo after dark to drive the devils out of the ship. At the last note of j tattoo the ship's hell is struck twice for i {) o'clock, and the boatswain's whistle sounds "'Pipe down." Every man must j then turn into his hammock, whether he is sleepy or not, for an inspection Is ' made by the master at arms to see ; that all have done so. Then sounds that last long, mournful call, "Taps."— Chicago News. A Universal Word. One of the first words that a baby .says is mamma or mother, and it is not strange, therefore, to find it one of the first and simplest words In ev- j cry language. There is uo word easier j for a child to say than "ma" unless j it be "pa." In Hebrew and Arabic I mother Is "cm" and "inn." It is ! "mam" In Welsh and "moder" In An- i glo-Saxon. In other languages It is ( slightly different, but near enough like our own word "mother" to make [ it an almost universal word, so that a child crying in any language could lie understood in almost any other ( language. Here are 't few of the . names: ! Madr In Persian. MoJer In Swedish. Matr Jn Sanskrit. Moder In Danish. Meter in Greek. Moeder In Dutch. ! Mater in Latin. Mutter in German. ! Madre In Italian.

"Ou railroads, in foundries, lu stoke i holes," the conductor s»aid afterward, i "wherever cinders get continually in ; the eye, there everybody extracts them :in one way—with the tougue.

Artists have been en gaged for several weeks on the in terior decoration of the church. The ! first service, after the completion of their work, was held last Sunday and was attended by a large con course of people from Laporte, Ber nice, Lopez and other places. The church presents a beautiful appear. ! anoee and reflects great credit . upon the skill of the artists in charge of the work. Solemn High Mass was celebrated at II A. M. The | choir of St. Francis church at Mil dred, comprising Misses Julia, Mari -1 on and Susie Burns, Mary Daly Nora ! Connor,-Lucy liannan, Julia En right, and Mr. I'.

Father Enright congratulated Ihecongn gation upon the appearance of the church and the lChristian spirit that prompted the undertaking and carried it to a suc cessful issue. Sacred Heart is one |of flie handsomest church edifces in I the county and is a monument tto the zeal of Father Enright, who ! has always taken a special interest in ; his church, the fi/st built by him. j . ———— j Mr. C.

Accompany ing the gilt was a note explaining how he planted a lot of young trees [ the shoots of which came from Italy ja few years ago, along the mountain j side as an experiment, and that, as a result loon trees are bearing chest nuts the average size being four j times larger than the American j chestnut. Mr. Sober's gift should i convince the president that he is no "nature fakir" when once the size ; cf the nuts are seen.

An oyster supper, enjoyed iby three of the jurors and an attor j ney interested in the case, caused a j violation of a technical point and in !order to be on the sale side, the Judge continued the' case until the second week in January. Several of the jurors while waiting for the late train which they would take to get home, inquired of an attorney ! interested in the case, where they could get a lunch. The attorney directed them to a restaurant when one of the jurors aske d him to have lunch with them which Iu- did. It was this little incident, that of be ing enterertained by a juror, that caused one juror to be called ofl and | the case continued. : A specie ol Albino deer was xilled last Saturday at Larry's creek, Ly coming county, and taken to Will : to be mounted.

Davidson township lias been ex-! periem-ing difficulty somewhat un usual during the past few months aud the County Commissioners were compelled to render assistance be fore the problem was brought to a satisfactory adjustment. No one in the township would permit the in cumbrance of the office of tax col lector to be placed upon him. Final ly Julius Sick was induced to take the office. After serving for a few months without making any collections, he paid his tine of «v><) and returned the duplicates to the Commissioners. The County Solie iter T. .1. Ingham, at once took the work of collecting in hai ■ud for the past few weeks has b». mater ially adding to the County funds. It is asserted that collectors in Davidson township have lost con siderable money in attempting to do the collecting the past few years, and for this reason no one cares to obligate themselves with the task of making some collections or sending the delimpionts to jail. As the Commissioners have the matter in hand and the Solicitcr is making a vigorous -tir among the taxables, ii is generally understood now that the payment of taxes in Davidson must be met according to law. Deer Horns Embedcd in Tree. Joseph Kiess, of Bryan Mid, has quite a curiou-ity in a pear of deer horns partially embedded in the trunk of a tree. The latter is aboul eight inches in diameter and the deer's antlers, which surround the same, are partially covered, tin wood of the; tree, having coveted tin horns in its growth. The tree was ! found in the mountains in Sullivan I county and it is suppsed that a deei j in some maimer got it-- horns locked j around the trunk of the tree and be j ing unable to get loose died, and a i the carcass decayed and passed awa\ ! the horns remained, 'sich year be mining more firmly as tin tree grew. The tree was about eight feet high at the point where the horns wen embedded. Mrs. Kliza A.

The Bradford County Prison Board has decided to discontinue the work of cracking stone by the prisoners during the winter months. The u mouut realized from the product is not sufficient to warrant the board buying proper clothing for the prisoners to wear while at work. Most of the prisoners who come to the jail are so thinly clad that it is necessary for the county to furnish them with clothing and shoes so that their health may not be endangered. The prospects that the Klmira, corning and Waverly trolley road will be completed aie now bio ked by the attitude of the wellsburg and Ashland authorities who are holding up all franchises until the traction company agrees upon a ten cent fare .o Klmira.
