TRAFALGAR.
l'lie SirlltiirNa of Action of Ttal* Great
Natal Battle.
Tlie world will see other sea tights,
but never one like this, so close, so
► win ami wlili so much iu it of tho
personal element. Aud what may bo
called the pace of the battle, the swift
ness with which incident follows inci
dent. is almost without a parallel in
the history of war. The tirst gun was
tired at 12:13; at 12:22, or only seven
minutes after the French RUUS opened
un him, Collingwood, with the Hritlsh
thips nearest to him, was through the
enemy's line.
Only one brief minute later, or «t
12:23 by the log of the Euryalus, Nel
son is in the tight, and is pouring his
lirst dreadful broadside into the stern
of Villeneuve's flagship. Two minutes
later the French and Spanish topmasts
begin to fall. At 1:32, or sixty seven
minutes after the tirst gun was tired,
Blackwood reports "the center and rear
of enemy's Hue to be hard pressed In
action." Tho fate of the battle is prac
tically settled. Already some of tho
enemy's ships have struck. The swifl
moments run on, and the pulses of the
great tight keep time with them. The
advantage is not ail on one side.
At 2:36, for example, or less than two
hours from the moment when, a shape
of majestic pride, the Koyal Sovereign
moved into the zone of the enemy s
tire, she lies a mast less and helpless
hulk. She has done her work, but she
has paid a terrible price for it. There
Is at this moment a flutter of flags on
the masthead of the Victory, for Nel
son has a great captain's watchful
vision, and a frigate—it is the Euryalus
—comes down with every inch of can
vas set. groping her way through the
smoke, to take the battered hull of tho
Koyal Sovereign in tow. so that her
broadsides —the mighty ship can still
tight, though she cannot sail -bear upon
the enemy's ships within her reach.
This is not a battle spread through
days. It is compressed almost into
minutes. The first shot was fired at
12:15; before 3 o'clock flag after flag is
going down; a great fleet is crumbling
Into ruin. Bv 5:30 o'clock all is over.—
Cornbill Magazine
FINGERS AND FORKS.
Never use a fork when taking a piece
of bread.
Avoid using a spoon for anything
that is not liquid.
Pastry should be eaten with a fork;
also ice cream where the proper forks
are served.
It is permissible to eat celery, corn,
asparagus, water cress and undressed
salad with the fingers.
Olives should be lifted from the dish
with the olive fork or spoon, but should
be eaten from the fingers.
Lemou is often served with fish and
pancakes. The lemon should be taken
in the fingers and squeezed upon the
viands.
If cut sugar is served and there are
no sugar tongs in the bowl, lift the
pieces out as delicately as possible
with the tips of the fingers.—New York
Press.
Composite Pronoun Wanted.
The want of u composite pronouu to
express both "he"and "she,'" and, what
is sometimes more important, to ex
press neither he nor she, must have
embarrassed every one at some time or
another. There tire ungrammatical
ways of shelving the difficulty, such as,
for instance, by translating the con
venient French "on'' as "they," when
we really mean one person who may
be either masculine or feminine. The
lack of a portmanteau word to express
both sexes without specifying either
did not, however, trouble the new maid
who approacin-d her mistress with the
ingenious remark, "Please'm, a friend
of mine has called—and may I ask it
to tea ?"—London Chronicle.
A Point In Punctuation.
For a century past, probably longer,
the rule of the best printers and pub
lishers has been,"Three words in the
same construction are separated by
commas." Two examples will illus
trate the rule:
"John, James and Thomas have come."
As so punctuated the first name is
vocative, the second and third nomina
tive. Two persons have come.
"John, James, and Thomas have come."
And now the three names are all
nominatives. Three persons have come.
The two meanings can be indicated
otherwise only by a footnote. New
York Times.
A Stubborn Opening.
The head of the household was going
through her husband's pockets the next
morning.
"What kept you out so late last
night?" she suddenly demanded.
"It was the opening of the campaign,
my dear," the lesser half replied.
"Well, it didn't take three corkscrews
to oi>en it, did it?"
And she drew the offending articles
from his side pocket and waved them
before him. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

[nUST NAME
SPECIFIC TERH
h'or Which Respective Candidates
for Supervisors Are Nomi
nated.
Considerable trouble is being caused
in many parts of the State nuder the
new township road law by the fact
that many of the township caucuses
fail to designate the term for which
the new supervisors are nominated.
Under the law there are three to be
elected, one for one year, one for two
years, and one for three years. The
nomination is not legal unless the term
of the office for which the nomination
is named is noted with the name of
the candidate. This is governed by
the present laws, and occurs likewise
when school directors, couucilinen and
other such officers are to lie elected for
full or unexpired terms. A correspon
dent wants to know how ttie law is to
be clearly carried out, suggesting that
three men nominated for short terms
might have the highest number of
votes, and thus have none elected for
the lull term of three years. This is
easily explained in the light of the
above statements. When a man is
nominated for supervisor, he must be
nominated, if at all. for one of the
three terms —one, two, or three years,
and it must be definitely stated. Once
nominated for a one-year-term,he can
not be elected to the office for any oth
er term at that election. For instance,
a man nominated for a one-year term
might secure more votes than any of
i the three-year or two-year nominees,
1 yet fail of election in case be did not
get more votes than the other one-year
nominees.
In cases where nominations have
been made and the term of the nomi
nees for supervisor have not been giv
en.the jiajiers are returned to the offic
ers that the terms niav be set out.

Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured nit
eight years ago and the cure thei
made has been lasting and I have ha<
no return of my old trouble. Before
using them I was greatly troubled witl
backache. I used everything recom
mended but got no reilef. The lame
ness over the kidneys and the terrible
aching continued in spite of every
thing that I did and there seemed t<
be no relief for me. I learned aboni
Doan's Kidney Pills and read the state
ments made by people who had
them,and concluded to try them. Thej
not only removed the lameness an<
backache but they benefitted my healtl
in general. They also relived the head
aches to which I had been subject foi
a considerable length of time. I can
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills ;i
reliable backache, and kidney cure.
