,' TO was n'sotistsatTOttiu! of drills snd
picket duty oa our ship at Dry Tort o
fM after ths Mslns wu blown up," said
a recent returned natal officer to aa
Klcctriool -view nan. "Ws wera W
mflta at sea, wlta as source of uwt,
and we didat knew when m- Bpanlak
fleet would heave In eight' We l aU
worked harder than ever, chiefly la
keep our minds occupied. My division
Included what t considered the crack
fun crew ot the ahlp, and the way thoee
boya handled the rapid-fire guns waa
something delightful. ,
"After a week or two of thla unuaual
drill, which developed a proficiency
truly emsxlng, I noticed that nry pet
gun crew became liaUeei and a trifle
alow in their work. They seemed te
lack heart. Sharp worda and repri
manda only served to atir them op tem
porarily. I waa at loea to account for
this change, and act out to discover the
reason. I called up the old gunner'a
mate and asked him what he thought
' waa the cause.
"Don't know, sir. The boys i all
right, sir only I guess they don't sleep
very well, sir.'
"More puzzled than ever. I resolved to
keep my eyes open. Jackie is a queer
bird at times. The nest night I waa of
ficer of the deck and had the mid-watch.
Along about two bells I thought I heard
voices forward, and went to investi
gate. There waa that whole bleased
crew stowed away as comfortably na
possible upon the deck, looking out to
sea. Some were lying down with their
eyes glued on the water, others had
their elbows en the guard nils with
their china on their arms looking out
over the waves.
"I went aft and sent for one of my
men, and asked him why ha wasn't be
low in his hammock iwh ere he belonged.
"'Well, air, we ain't a-gotn' to get
caught asleep down below in our ham
micks like those Mslne boys, sir. We
owe the Spanish something for that and
something ior ourselves. We are all
tryln to be first to sight a Spaniard, sir,
so we're watohin' that's all, air.'
Here waa the explanation of my gun
erew'a listless performance. They were
working aa hard as men could work and
getting little or no sleep. It wsant
fear that kept them awake not by a
long shot It waa simply Hhe desire to
be the first to sight s Spanish ship and
the hope of getting the first shot at her.
The suspense of inaction was what wor
ried the boys." Electrical Review.

Newfoundland has a king and he is
E.G. Heid. Many years ago in the face
of much opposition the government
started to build a railroad through the
Island, and the natives, Ignorant fisher
men, tore tip pact ot it Several con
tractors took hold, but they were un
succesaful (too. Then the government
started ogeun, and the resumption 'if
the work was .partly responsible for
wrecking all banks and nearly ruining
the colony in 18S3.
Then Mr. Beld, a contractor from
Montreal, agreed to take hold if be were
to get 8,000 acres of land for each mile
of the railroad or Its branches he com
pleted. He Introduced modern meth
ods of construction and built a first
class railroad. Mow the government
has turned over to. him the acres prom
ised, making; 50 square miles, and has
,lven bim franchises lor all eleotrie
railways, coal mineseepper mines, pe-
iroieum deposits, toe government airy
dock and the privilege ei erecting pulp
mills and other industries under he
benefit of a protective itaiiff. All die
paid for tbia was $1,800,000, half rf
which la to be returned da subsidies.
The bill waa rushed (through the
legislature with only one ' dissenting
voice, and no debate waa allowed. The

are more white people than negroes
that Cannot write their own name
Treat aoo ti 800 people visit the tl
leach week.. About half of 'them are
negroes and half Whites.' Each visitor
W required to sign his or her name li
t&s Jail register before going Inside the
esge where this 'prisoners are kpU 0o7
ossionally a person oomea along who
caaaot write his name, and in eases of
this kind the deputy in charge at ths
time writes it for hhn. One of tbe dep
uties noticed that nearly all those who
could not writs were men' or women
who were getting old. He noticed, too,
.that more negroes could write'' than
whites. - Thla started him to keeping
etetieticaon the visitors who could write
and this is the result for two weeks.
"Lett week there were 813 visitors. ' Of
these 103 were whites and 11T ' were
negroes. Of these nine whites could
not write their names and they were sit
men past middle age. Of ths negroes
there were only five who conld not
.write, and each, of them had been born
In sis very. All the negroes of the young
er generation could write and wrote la
good hands. The week before last there
were 680 visitors snd about half were
negroes. Seven negroes of thla number
could notwrlteand 11 whites had to ask
the deputy to sign the register for
them.
It is ssid thst all sorts of wsr jobes
poured in on the government sttrscted
by the 150,000,000 national defense sp
propristion. A southerner sent up
word thst pslmetto cabbages mske the
best Idnd of fortificationa and offered,
for a consideration, to buy up all In
eight and deliver them to points for
leosst defense. A citizen of Kansas
City wrote the hog bristles mske bullet
proof cloth which, in the form of thick
insts, could be hung around on the sides
of the war vessels. He added, inci
dentally, that, in anticipation of the
adoption of hia suggestion, ho had sc
oured an option on all the hog bristles
la the market.
According to the Army and Navy
Journal, the first states that will be
called upon to furnish troops to co-operate
with those of the army in ths
event of hostilities, it is understood.
Will be New York, Pennsylvania, Massa
chusetts, Ohio snd Illinois, which the
war department regards ss being the
best equipped for prompt service. If
the entire force from these states were
called into service it would aggregate
in round numbers 30,377 officers and
men, and constitutes tbe cream of the
national guard force.
The donkey cure for whooping oo ugh
has been introduced in America, It ia
for the patient' to take a ride on a
donkey whose back is marked with s
black cross. The remedy Is certainly
harmless, says an exchange, snd ths
freih air snd fun of the thing ought
to be beneficial. As whooping cough
is almost wholly confined to Very young
children, it is hardly likely that thla
very singular remedy will irove pop
ular. It ia reported that a sheep-eating
horse has been carrying terror to the
horses and farmers near CI ays ville, Mo.
.The horse some weeks sgo developed a
taste for sheep. Be hss killed 18 or
0 sheep in that neighborhood, and has
eaten three. Be seems to thrive oa his
peculiar diet. Neighbors Inaist thst he
be shot, but tbe owner has had him fas
tened ia the stabU snd thinks he will
outgrow his peculiar sppetlU.
