WORN BY NAVY OFFICERS. When Cdfnmodore Dewey la3t winter was promoted ftom the rank of captain he had 16 visit tho tailor for clothes suitable to his new rank and was obliged to buy a full-dresa coat and a cap. The latter cost sls. During the terrible storm at Samoa some yearß ago, when the nayal offi cers lost their belongings, a bill was Introduced to reimburse them, and it was figured a lieutenant's wearing ap parel was worth $1,365, an ensign's $1,050, and a rear admiral's $2,000. An admiral's full-dress outfit,lncluding the hat, Is worth $765. The epaulets alons cost $165. During (he engagement at Manila Commodore Dewey, as he stood on the bridge directing his forces, wore what Is called the service coat, of dark blue serge, shaped to the figure, with a slit on each hip extending on the right side as high jts thp sword belt. Plain gutta percha buttons and a high collar fin ished the coat. His trousers had a Btrtp of gold lace down their outer seams one inch wide. The visor of his cap was trimmed with oak leaves. It takes most of a young naval offi cer's salary to keep his wardrobe tn •cadition to suit his superiors. The first thing a naval cadet Is taught la how to keep his uniforms in condition. He has a number of them for different occasions, but the regulations are most exact. Naval officers are much more particular than army officers In regard to tho making of their uniforms, for they are continually cruising about the world, entering foreign ports, and trust uphold the honor of their coun try. Photography Coder Water. A wonderful Invention has recentl) been devised by which photograph) may be taken under water. The lighl for this purposo Is furnished by an in candescent lamp placed in a steel easi In the diver's headpiece,the luminous ra; a being protected by a reflector placed In the rear of the steel case, and the electricity provided by means of a small dynamo carried In the boa! above. The photographic apparatuj Itself consists of a common camera placed within an India rubber envel ope, the front of which Is glass, and the machine Is regulated and pictures taken by pressing buttons through the Ind.a rubber covering. The result if such as to be pronounced an achieve ment, for It has been demonstrated that pictures can be taken under watei pf c'-lectß at a distance of ten or Iwelva feet as easily as they can bi obtained above In tha full light of day.

Path Tubs Introduced in Some European School Houses. j A famous German professor of by \ gieue declares that above all things j our schoolrooms should bo provided with a good system of ventilation. And all of us agree with him. We want some arrangement whereby the impure air can be constantly swept out aud | the pure air introduced. Aud yet wa who have stood in the schoolroom, sur rounded by nearly a huudi'ed little un washed bodies, cannot feel satisfied with this arrangement aloiie. We know by experience that even the best ven tilating apparatus will fall short in producing exactly an ideal condition of tho atmosphere. We had often thought of making tho hath tub apart and portion of tho education of the children intrusted to our care, in for mer years, says the Illustrated Home Journal, and yet we lacked the neces sary fuuds for luakiugthe experiment. Many teachers have entertained tho same views with the same results. But now we find to our surprise that the idea is very old, and, iu fact, has been carried into excellent etTeet long ago iu many of the schools of Europe. Warm shower baths, and plenty of them, havo been provided for the chil dren, with whom this innovation seems to be extremely popular. These baths are practical aud economical, as well as hygieuie. A school iu Gottingen, Germany, took the load iu this direc tion in 1883, and now some forty cities in Germany, Switzerland and Scandi navia have such baths in their school buildings. Referenco is made to one foreign school where the facilities for bathing sixty children an hour cost only J8357. The Superintendent of Schools iu Springfield, Mass., is urg ing the introduction of these facilities there, though the people of Springfield claim to use more private bathtubs thnn those of any other town in tho United States, population considered. The question is a fair one whether tho character of the atmosphere iu our popular assemblies, as well as our schoolrooms, is not more of a reflec tion on the amount of our tubbing than upon deficient ventilating ap paratus. WORDS OF WISDOM. No men living are more worthy to be trusted thau those who toil up from poverty. A man who does not know how to learn from his mistakes turns the best schoolmaster out of his life. It is not our failures that ruin us, but our fear aud tardiness iu making new beginnings after failure. There are many who traverse the world in pursuit of happiness; but it is within the reach of every man—a contented mind confers it. Useless fretting and worrying bring more gray hairs to the head, wrinkles to the face and cares to the mind, than old age and aotual trouble. It is continued temperance which sustains the body for tho lougest I period of time, and which most surely ! preserves it free from sickness, j A life merely of pleasure cl' j'niefiy ' of pleasure is always a poor aud worth | less life, not worth the living; always unsatisfactory iu its course; always miserablo iu its end. It hns been said that to the pure all j things are pure. Just as thoroughly has it been proved that to the vile, all vileuess is of the vilest, aud what is pure is considered only a grade of vileuess all the more reprehensible, because it is obviously impossible of comprehension by minds attuned to less harmonious chords. The lloui- or Heath. Speaking of the time of day Rt or near which most deaths occur, Filtlay 3on, of Glasgow, says Le Journal do Medecine (Paris), believes that it is 0 a. m. His observations include 15,000 cases. "31. Beadles makes a differ ence between the sexes. He says it is 5 to 7 a. m. for men aud the evening hours for women. M. Schneider, of Berlin, less vague in his affirmation, bases his statistics on 57,000 deaths, and gets 5 to 7 a. m., without distinc tion of sex. Mr. Raseri (25,471 ob servations) remarks that it is gen erally in the afternoon that people bid adieu to the fair land of Italy. Fiualiy, M. C. Fere has collected 11,- 401 eases at the Salpotriere andßiceire hospitals, aud finds that they take piace at all possible hours, but that there is a lull from 7 to 11 p. in." Dining HIT St or I si. A returned volunteer tells p. gaol story, which, by the way, goes to show that officers were not feasting while the men were liviugou ordinary army rations. One of our generals in Cuba entertaiued, it seeuts, some visiting officers at his field qnartors near the fighting line before Santiago. Tho fare resembled in simplicity tha legen dary roasted sweet potatoes of Revolu tionary times, but tho host's hearty welcome mid still mora his wealth of good stories carried along tlia meager menu. At length, however, there came a pause, both gastronomic and conversational. Tho guests wero await ing "what next" when the old negro servant wa3 heard to hiss into tha general's ear: "Give 'em another big one, Geu'l.

The blool Is the vital element In our lives and should be carefully nurtured. Restore it to its proper oondition, dys popsta will vanish and good health follow. For example, In the county of Pembina, North Dakota, u few miles from Walhalla, resides Mr. Earnest Snider; a man of sterl ing integrity, whoso voracity cannot be doubted, lie says: The Doctors Disagreed. "I became seriously ill throe yoars ago. The doctor gave rao medicine for indiges tion, but I coutluued to become worse. I had soveral physicians at intervals who gave me some relief, but the disease would return with all its accustomed severity. "I read ia the newspapers articles re garding the wonderful curative powers of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People, and finally concluded to try the pills. Five months ago I bought six boxes. Tbo first box gave me much relief, and after using four boxes I was cured." These pills are rocognizod ovorywhere as a specific for diseases of the blood and nerves.

That is abso lutely the cr.se in Hawaii. In New Zealand, equally free of these reptiles, the only knowledge which the Maorl9 had of snakes may be found in a le gend of a monster called tho taniwha, concerning which the authorities differ as to whether it is the ancestral and dim recollection of a snake or of an al ligator. All the eastern islands of Polynesia between these two outposts are snakeless. Westward from Hawaii, down among the Gilberts and the Marshalls and the Carolines, the square-bodied water snake begins to make its appearance In the lagoons and harbors. By the time the Philliplncs are reached the water snake becomes both common and deadly and the Jungle of those islands aro abundant ly supplied with snakes. From the Phllllplne3 as one follows down tho chains of islands snakes are found both abundant and venomous. In the wild landa of the western Pacific the reptiles are frequently objects of wor ship, and In some legends are credited with the creation of tho world. Samoa seems to lie Just on the boundary line of snakes In the Pacific. In the east ern Islands of the archipelago no snakes are to be found; In Upolu a few are seen at rare intervals. In Sa vall only a few mllee to the westward they are common and attain great size, In the case of some kind at least. None of them Is venomous and the islanders neither fear them nor exhibit any of that repugnance to their presence which is commonly called Instinctive. This indifference to the reptiles is made moct markedly manifest at the hamlet of Iva on the northeast coast of Savaii. Here are to be found small snakes of the most brilliant red color. They are so common that a basketful may be easily picked up In any banana patch. The dancing girls of this town are In tho habit of employing these gaudy snakes £or personal adornment In their dance 3. They tie them about their necks, their ankles, and their wrists, festoon them In their headdresses, and luck a few extra ones In their belt In readiness to replace such as escape in the dance. At their ■tiest these sivas danced by the Sa moans aro either dull or revolting shows of savagery. It can be easily Imagined that they are made no more attractive when the taupou or village maid and her crew of attendant girls go careering about with an assortment of writhing red Bnaltes. Still the Sa ruoans, who have no stock of snake prejudices, look upon this as one of tho most successful and arUstlc dances In ,their islands. The Eaklmo's float.
